Summer's Close

Well... not just yet.

Some of my seedlings grew into nice plants which I'll photograph and post I suppose. The grow lights they were under for their first few weeks of life really ensured a much larger quantity to survive than my attempt without it.

Vegetablez PWN! I decided to get some raddish seeds (French breakfast variety), simply because I get hundreds of seeds for $1.91 and from the day I sow their seeds to the day I can eat them is just over 3 weeks. I sowed a whopping 5 seeds, 5 days ago and 4 of them have sprouted thus far.
I've also decided I want to grow garlic next year. My lack of suitable full-sun gardening space will force me to do container gardening which is alright for small batches. Maybe I'll try other vegetables, salad greens perhaps.
Last thing worth mentioning is that the first harvested Japanese eggplant of the season was delicious. Split among my household it fed everyone a whole 4 bites.

In other news, much to yours and my dismay I've put AdSense on this blog. I figure maybe I'll get a few cents to buy more seeds. Worth a shot so sorry for ruining your view.
