Tasty Treats

I love radishes.  The roots are spicy, and the leaves are thick and satisfying.  Radishes in the Givler Garden are ripe and ready.  Above they are arranged with beet seedlings that I thinned today.  Beets greens and stems are absolutely delicious, especially young like these.
Spinach will be ready soon...maybe in a week I'll be able to harvest some individual leaves.  The leaves feel meaty and firm.
Leaf lettuce is doing great, and the plants I have thinned have been great in my lunch salads this week.
This is a top view of our turnips.  I've thinned these once already, and the mustardy flavored leaves are good.  Roots haven't formed yet, but they will.
I took a worm's-eye view of these carrots.  We had good rain finally yesterday, and everything in the garden has responded nicely to getting a full drink of water.  Everything has germinated except for parsley in the herb garden and celeriac in the main garden.
