Today Tracy and I harvested the first of the radishes. I planted two squares worth and we took about a third from each square. The rest were too small so I’ll hopefully pick them this week, and once the square is empty I’ll plant the beans.

I found a small green worm on one of the leaves, so I squished it. I think that was what was eating the holes in the leaves.

I also found a strange looking radish that had split open, and there was a small brown worm inside the split.  The bottom roots were gone as well.  I don’t know if it had split from overwatering, or if that worm was making itself a home.  I’m going to do some research to see if I can find what it was, and how I can avoid it in the future.  Only one was affected like that but I haven’t pulled all of them out yet.

The weather forecast is for fairly good weather during the week so I’ll probably pull the rest on Wednesday, and put some plastic on the ground to get it really heated up before the beans go in.
