Windowsill Radishes - Day 29

One day away from day 30. I was curious so I did some online browsing for the type of radishes I am growing, which in this case are German giants. According to the website it says you can harvest them when as small as marbles or as large as a baseball while remaining mild, sweet, and crispy. I suppose that is encouraging as I do want to grow these a bit longer to see if they'll grow larger in size. I was initially worried that leaving them in the dirt too long would cause them to become woody but from what I read online (who knows if it's accurate) they shouldn't become woody. Encouraging nonetheless. I also wonder how large the root is under the dirt versus what I can see above ground.

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 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

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.
