Early Garden Update

The early garden seems to be going well to date. Above is the first bunch of radishes I was able to harvest just a couple days ago. They're always fun to plant, since they mature so quickly. My dad planted radishes with me when I was just a little guy for that very reason. I remember being pumped as a child when we got to pull them up, even though I don't remember ever eating them. In fact, as much as I am trying to involve little girl in the garden, I noticed these were ready when I was checking the garden after work. And yeh, I went ahead and pulled them up without even thinking about going inside and getting her to help. Guess it's the little kid in me. We've got some more that are ready, so I'll get her on those. So far everything is looking great including the carrots, lettuces, spinach, and potatoes. The broccoli seems kinda small so far, so I'm not holding out on getting much there. Well, here's what we did with the radishes.

And no, those aren't my carrots...I wish. We took the radishes and some garlic, ground them up, and mixed them in some creme cheese. Made a pretty good dip for the carrots that lasted us a couple days. Not sure what I'm going to do with the tons of radishes I have left to pull up over the next couple weeks. Going to scour the internet for new recipes. Should be fun. I've got my way-too-late spring break next week, so I've promised little girl I'd take her to County Boys to buy our summer garden plants. I'll hopefully update with those events next week.
