3rd lot of Radish

4/10/2019

Planted the 3rd lot of radishes this afternoon, Scarlet White Tip.  This time I know for sure they are spread above just water.  

I was working outside planting bulbs so did not get a chance to go through my old seeds to see what I have on hand that could be used in this experiment.

I think I know what I have been doing wrong, having the seeds sit in the water is probably growing them so I will have to figure out some way to keep the screen tighter.  The sunflowers in the shredded paper seem to be doing well, that may be another option.  Also will see if the radish in just water do better and if so won't use the hydro solution.

03 October 2019 - Radish & Sunflower

SUNFLOWERS
Today (day 4) I took the cover off of the sunflowers and the seeds seem to be sprouting.  Not all of them but there does seem to be quite a few.  Hopefully there will be more in the days to come.
The seeds are from, at least, last year at this time.  They are from a bag of sunflower seeds that we got to feed the birds.

RADISHES
Harvested the radish greens this evening on the 7th day.  They certainly did a lot better than the first lot. I weighed them and got 123 grams of greens.  Because they are growing on a window screen I pulled them up so there is not just the greens but the tiny roots as well.  You can see that they did grow to be a nice height.  Took a taste and there is a mild radish flavour.  This type does not seem to be quite as strong as the first crop.  It will be interesting to see if Heather finds the same thing.

SWISS CHARD
There were a few sprouts from the Swiss Chard and I harvested them and put them in the same container with the radishes.

The Spinach has not sprouted at all or the few that did sprout have all died.   I think the seeds may have been drowned.

I will be planting another lot of radishes again tomorrow.  Will take a look through my seeds and see what else I may plant.  

I used my hydroponic solution with all of the seeds on the first experiment but I will only be using straight water on the next lot.  The solution may to strong for the seeds.
