Twelve days since the Miracle Gro was first applied. Wouldn't you agree -- there's a huge difference!!!!
While we were at church camp everything sprung to life and GREW! We even have baby squash!
And we actually picked our very first radish yesterday:
Everyone was so eager to try it so we cut the radish into 5 bits. Our excitement ended in tears when we realized how spicy these radishes are! I guess just the adults will be enjoying them.I'm so happy that the garden is doing so well!!! I was beginning to think it would be a disaster but now I'm pretty confident we're going to have some good produce.

It looks really good! So sorry about the radish -- that's kinda sad. I bet the kids were so excited about "eating" something from the garden.
yay you!
this is our first year gardening and i'm finding it absolutely enjoyable. even the disasters. :)
enjoy.
Most of my garden has taken off since it has been so hot.
I don't think the tomatoes are going to do well. They didn't like all that cold, rainy weather.
I just heard today that the long range forecast is for the really hot and humid weather to leave. :)
I'm so glad your garden is taking off - our tomato plants are 5' tall and I don't have enough stakes to keep them tied up - I gave my tomato cages away to a fledgling gardener, sure I would replace them after the last move, but they are $$$! Are you keeping a rain gauge to make sure you get the water requirements consistently? Spicy radishes often mean not enough water - which is odd since we've had a nice amount of rain in the MidWest - perhaps you've been missed - or you might not have enough organic matter in your newly tilled and planted garden to hold the moisture in - you added peat moss (I think), but you might need to add some more organic stuff this fall - maybe some mulched leaves would help! For a first year garden effort, you are doing terrific! I don't use miracle grow on anything we eat, but it sure makes a difference with the flowers!
