Windowsill Radishes - Day 22

Here's the update from day 22 of radish growth as of 5/6/2020. I ended up taking these photos a bit later in the day... er evening, as you can see it is dark outside. A bit of a different lighting situation. It gives a different look at the plants in my opinion. The bright red of the stems is much more noticeable in these photos. Once again, I included a close-up of the stems of the radish plants hopefully to show the slight thickening. I feel I'm starting to see a bit of rounding where the base of the leaves meet the stem. One thing I want to mention about radish plants is they appear to require a good amount of water. I water these plants every day by giving the soil a good soaking of water. One day I was a bit late in water the plants and found the leaves already starting to wilt. After giving the plants a drink of water, the leaves become lush and vibrant again.

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
