It was hot yesterday and we are seeing even more growth on these plants on Day 34. It has been windy this morning and I gave them a drink before taking this picture. Soil looks darker when wet, providing a nice contrast to the greens. The radishes have really started growing fast -- they're bursting out of their squares. The "Alaska" peas on the left are now about 12 inches tall.
Corn Box on Day 17. Neat rows of corn seedlings on the right half of the box. They were still in the shade of the house when this picture was taken, but they'll come out of that shade by 9:30. It has been many seasons since I grew corn in the backyard, so this is exciting!
Now onto other things in the backyard. Here's a sunflower seedling (Along with elm tree seedlings and tumble weed seedlings ... I must bust them before they get big and become a nuisance.) This sunflower is getting plenty of sun (Look how dark the stem is already.) and plenty of moisture. I have also given it a drink of sea kelp solution already. I want to see HUGE sunflowers this summer. ^^
Morning glory seedlings. I have planted two different kinds in several spots. These guys popped up first.
