How is our garden growing 4/25 and 4/28

So here is an update on the garden. The first pic in each set is of what it looked like on the 25th of April and the second pic in the set is what it looked like on the 28th. Those few days made a difference in them! lol

The whole garden. The first pic is really hard to see because it was too late in the day and so the flash wasn't working that great and neither was the sunlight! lol



The lettuce. We have two of them growing so eventually I will need to cut off one of them because they are growing in the same part of the square. No others have sprouted. I hope we get some more soon though!

The radishes that were planted first.


And those that were planted second.
(Yes we ended up with a caterpiller on them that ate the leaves, but I found him and killed him. Sorry Mr. Caterpiller, but my radishes are more important today! lol)

Pepper plant #1
See the peppers are getting larger! About 3/4 of an inch long.

Pepper plant #2 on 4/28...it is getting SUPER tall, but no peppers on it yet.
Close up of pepper plant #3 with one pepper on it

The pepper is growing at a weird angle and into a weird shape, but I bet it will taste great!
These are the onion seeds that we planted on 4/16. They have already popped up!!!!! This was from the 28th.
These are the onion sets that were planted originally (4/5/10) They are getting much taller! I keep digging them around the top and the onions are getting big down there!
Can you see how tall that one is??? This was after it had rained a couple of days in between!

Now to pick the radishes.......


TADA....
Yep, NOTHING on them!!! What the heck?!?!?! Are you serious?! They are 3 weeks old and not one single root. The greenage at the top is great, but there is no bulb on the bottom. We have no idea what happened. Maybe too late in the season, maybe there are some insets that got them? We don't know. Oh well, hopefully the rest of the garden will produce better and we can do radishes again in the fall.
So there you have it. It is growing beautifully (except the radishes and one pepper plant doing nothing yet...but we are still very hopeful!). More later!
