About Me

Hi and thanks for stopping by! Just a few quick notes about me. I'm just a plant enthusiast who wants to share my passion for plants with anyone who cares to read about it. I'm always taking photos of my plants and what better way to show them off than on a blog. I am always trying to learn more about plants and how to better care for them. I am definitely not an expert in any of this and am learning as I go along. I will share my failings as well as my successes. I do also live in a rather small space in an apartment complex. My unit doesn't receive a lot of sunlight either so it can be a struggle for me to grow certain plants well. I have a small balcony where I mostly grow succulents and cacti. Indoors I have various houseplants such as peace lilies, African violets, Calathea, fiddle leaf fig, dracaena, sansevieria, maranta and many others. I hope to share a little slice of my life on the internet in this blog.

I'm open to suggestions and comments about my content so please feel free to do so on any of my blog posts or email at thecapsulegarden@gmail.com. Thanks for reading!

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
