St. Patty's Day

Well here we are again. we put in several things last month, radishes, carrots, nasturtium, tomatos, and marigolds (or as natalie used to call them "miracles"). here are a few pictures. these radishes are called "easter egg" because of the pastel pink color. they also go well bewteen lettuces (I didn't even know that lettuces repells the radish beetle, but dave the garden guy says so in his book). these are mild in flavor and come in "long egg" shape too!  the lettuces (according to dave) can act as a trap crop for aphids and these lettuces are also a "cut and come again type".
