Windowsill Radishes - Day 5

It'll take a me a little bit of time to catch up but I planted about five radish seems on 4/14/2020 into a relatively small clay pot. I was curious to see if it would even be possible to produce a radish bulb in such a small pot. I was also using seeds that had a best planted by date of 4/18/2020. After five days the little sprouts in the image are what emerged. 2 out of 5. Not too bad, I suppose. At the same time I was also sowing some radish seeds in a damp paper towel in my kitchen. I have the unfortunate position of living in an apartment with mainly north facing windows so direct sun is very hard to come by. There is one very small windowsill facing west which is where I sprouted these radishes. So after five days this is what we have:

Windowsill Radishes - Day 15

Finally made it to posting about the current day's progress on the day of! The radish plants' growth appears to really be taking off now. I expect I'll start seeing large amounts of growth each day from here on out. I'm really excited to see if bulbs will start forming. That likely won't be for another week or two though (maybe longer). The second set of true leaves on the left plant are definitely apparent in these images. The leaves just look so nice and I'm really enjoying observing the growth each day. Perhaps the next step for me would be doing a time lapse video of growth.

Windowsill Radishes - Day 18

The plants as of 5/2/2020 reached 18 days of growth. That growth has been impressive to me at least. I'm new to growing radishes except I think back in elementary we grew a few radish seeds in a Styrofoam cup of dirt as a science experiment. From what I've read online, I may be looking to fertilize the plants soon. The second set of true leaves have now reached about the same size as the first set were on Day 12. Here's the photos from Day 18.

Windowsill Radishes - Day 30

It's here, the fated day 30, and I can say these radishes definitely need some more time to grow. I suppose I could harvest them to see how they look and taste but I'm going to commit to another five days. Below are the usual shots of the plants.  Day 30 Side View Day 30 Top View The radishes after 30 days
