Gardening in my roots, finally fall


Turnips!  Planted way too close together. I was in a hurry when I planted but even so I couldn't imagine how I'd managed to pack so many seeds so close together. But when I went out to replant the missed spots last weekend, it was obvious. Turnip seeds are tiny, and black.  You can't see where they landed one second after they land.

The rest of the stuff I planted is pretty sad. Three or four scraggly beets.  A half-row of radishes with a few carrot sprigs in between. A half-row of what I think are Daikon radishes. But don't blame the gardener!  The temperatures were still in the mid-80s when I planted, and we had no rain for two months.
