Wow! That turned out great! I hope it works just as planned. Love the Marigold border. Useful and beautiful. :)

Yes, thin your radishes to one per every 2” or so. Pick the biggest one and pull the others around it.

I let my radishes grow in little clumps, and pick the individual largest ones over the course of a couple of weeks. I feel really guilty just culling, so I do my best to space the seeds while planting. Obsessive? No I like to think of it as focussed.

Of coarse I wound up being greedy. I wanted to plant scallions or green onions and found none where I shopped so I wanted more radishes. I pulled all the radishes and separated the seedlings as best I could planting into both planters. They hate me now! Never mind talking to your plants, these radishes are totally pissed! Leaves turning yellow and laying on the dirt, I've apologized over and over and been manually watering several extra times a day, but we'll have to see.

I might save half of them, again we'll have to see. I'll thin the arugula, Roma, carrots, and red salad bowl, and oakleaf lettuce by killing off stems instead of ripping them out of the ground.
