Windowsill Radish - Day 36 - The Lone Radish

Yes, I've changed the title of the blog posts from windowsill radishes to windowsill radish. After harvesting one of the two it is now only a single one. It looks a little lonely in the pot now by itself after sharing the pot for 35 days with it's radish buddy. I've noticed that one of the true leaves on the plant is starting to yellow. There are still new leaves emerging though. The cotyledons are very dead at this point too. It's also interesting observing the plant closely that the cotyledons seem to almost be attached to the skin that is peeling from the radish bulb. Anyway, here are some pictures of the lone radish.

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.
