towards the light


after positioning the pot near the window, I detected that the stems were starting to grow towards the light. On the photograph I taken you can see the slight curviture in the stem.

I water the plant every other day. Even though it has been sunny on most days the earth has stayed moist.

take over

I took the plant over today. The earth was moist, so I am confident that I should be able to leave it in the sunny room for the day. I placed the pot on to the ladder because I know that this is a safe place from our cat Monty (he is very scared of the ladder). When I got home in the evening I stuck my finger into the earth and found it still moist. I will check again in the morning and maybe water it then.

No photographs yet sorry, as I got the images on my phone and I don't know how to get them onto this PC laptop....This will have to wait until tomorrow.

I went out for dinner yesterday, so I completely forgot about my baby... oops ( the dinner was amazing! yum yum!)


But!
Strong radish survived a day - even more, the soil was still wet, so I thought not to water it... Was it because of cold and not-sunny weather?

then this morning, I passed onto Martin successfully! Hope he understood everything ok.



Tip for Martin:
Please make sure you don't water him too much, otherwise the root will start to rot. (I think)
And I read somewhere that you need to start to pull out some of the weaker ones to make enough space for one radish. I couldn't find when you need to do it, but I am assuming it will come pretty soon...

OK, good luck and don't kill it pleaso!

I forgot to take care of the Radish-chan, because....

Monty( the cat) kept asking playing!

Naughty cat!

But the good boy Radish has grown massively, and I watered lots again.

24th May

Good morning!

Here is the Radish-chan this morning around 8.30a.m.
grown twice the size! Today is another sunny day, so I have put the plant outside - I assume that this is good thing now, since I didn't kill the plant for last few days, this gave me a confidence.

I have been googling with " radish grow" keyword, to see if I have to do something... then I finally found a page which is pretty useful ( see here)
According to this page, I need to give a "room" to each radish soon - by picking out the weak ones..hmmm

Most of gardening website explain the scientific fact ( temperature, the kind of soil etc), but nothing about everyday caring stuff - like what I should see, and what I should do. - I wonder why?

Anyway, I watered the plant again under the strong sunshine.

21st May 2010

I went out tonight so came home a little late with worry...

There is no sign of babies, so I am starting to wonder if this is really working... so I went online to check this page and this page
Nobody says anything about how long it takes for germination, but mentions the difficult things like temperature etc...

so I given up looking for information and depend on my animal instinct...

the soil looked a little dry so I watered a lot!

maybe too much??
