Hiya Granny, Here's some nice pics I took today of the garden. The watermelon radishes are
mildly sweet and mildly hot with horseradish heat that sneaks up on you. Delicious with cane sugar.

Zucchini flower, the first one to show up in the garden.

HUGE Watermelon radish, larger then a silver dollar.

Beautiful photos, but you do need to talk to the squash plants, as all I see are male flowers........LOL

Normal, the male always showed up first for me and then the female popped up.

You are right, the radish is a work of art, good photos of both.

Is this a new radish? I don’t remember it from before.

Of course, I always had to try for the biggest ones, which do not do that well here, too hot. Our spring and fall each last about 2 weeks, the rest is winter and summer.

I am so glad that your garden is producing.

From what i am reading in the papers, you had better be planning to grow enough to survive on.

Maybe you can promote a dehydrator for Father’s day, that will work great with your squash, then you can use it all winter in soup or even make flour for some of your breads.

A hug to you a big one.
