Ruined Radishes


Ok, so on Tuesday and Wednesday we picked a whole lot of radishes that Daniel planted. So me and Leondray rinsed them off for the market then we put them in a bucket and SOMEBODY left them in a bucket of water no fingers pointed. So then the next day we had to put them in the compost and that whole area smelled really bad.

This week we started to pick are first bunch of peppers. we where amazed of how red and green they were with a fresh smell of many types of peppers.

The Curious Case of the Ruined Radishes


One day we were picking the radishes I planted in the field and Robert gave us bucket to put them in he also told us to water them immediately after harvesting them. And I filled the bucket with water the next day i poured the water out and somebody filled it up with more water and left it in there and they got ruined so we put them in the compost.

smelly radishes

Left them in the water they got really bad. on monday rain we saw watermelons there was 16 of them. cucumbers was growing well.

The Watermelon

Our watermelons started growing this week. It's amazing how fast they grow each day. I'm calculating that within 3 to 4 weeks we will have full grown watermelons. I love the fact that all the plants we have been growing are chemical free.It's all hard labor, strength, and determination that's made these good looking, fresh smelling plants.

week of farming

P.E.A.T.- This past week we have found 16 watermelons we also have pick some of our vegetables that we have grown. We have pick peppers and radishes. we made a mistake and left the radishes in water wick we now know spoils the radishes. This past week we also celebrated a birthday.

Time for Harvesting




This week we began to harvest some of our crops. The crops we harvested this week were radishes and peppers. After harvesting our radishes, I for the first time in my life ate a radish and I thought that they were pretty good. I also enjoyed the hot peppers that we grew because I love spicy food. About a day or two after we harvested our radishes, they became ruined because S O M E O N E.....left them in water. Therefore as of right now we have no more radishes that are harvested. As for the peppers, we have plenty of them and they all are very nice sizes.
