Fastest Germination Ever


My last post was about a new bed I built with my brother. Sunday, I spent the day amending the soil in the bed with compost and planting radish, beet and carrot seeds. As always, I water those seeds daily until they sprout. And, during this hot weather (85 degrees today) I water twice a day to keep the seeds from drying out. Radish seeds will usually sprout in a week. Beets in a week to ten days. Carrots take the longest, as much as three weeks to sprout. So, imagine my surprise when just 48 hours after planting I saw my radishes sprouting. Tiny sprouts just coming out of the ground to be sure, but they are surely coming up!
