Almost at two weeks of growth. I'm not sure what the typical or normal size of radish plants after two weeks should be. I read the packet of seeds and these are actually a variety of radish called German Giants. They're supposed to reach sizes of up to 1.5" in diameter. I'm not sure how well that will work out since this is about a 4" pot... But it may not even develop a bulb for all I know. It has been a bit warm in my area lately and radishes or more a cold to cool weather vegetable. It seems they're known to bolt when the weather is warmer. Anyway, for these images we can observe the first set of true leaves are getting even larger. It's interesting that the leaves on the left plant are the same size while on the right, one of the leaves is way bigger than the other one.
I'm sure many of you already know this but for those of you that don't, you can take the bottom of the green onions that you buy from the grocery stores and grow more green onion! Green onion is comprised of two basic parts - the stalk or the green portion and the bulb. The bulb is usually white and has some roots growing from the bottom. In order to grow your own green onion from this you don't even need to save the entire white portion. I recommend leaving at least an inch though. once you cut that off, you can use the remaining green onion for consumption. With that portion of the bulb that you saved give it a rinse and remove any peeling, dying skin, and dead roots. This will help prevent rot. There are a few ways you can grow your green onion. The easiest way is to put them in some water. Note that you do not want to submerge the bulb. You only want the bottom root portion to be exposed to water. Letting the entire bulb sit in water will encourage (not what we want in
