Semi-successful Gardening

As part of the district Virtual Attendance challenge badge, I was growing some radishes.

I had a little M&S growing kit with a few seeds and a little pot to plant them in. I followed the instructions and nurtured my little radishes the best I could. They very quickly sprouted their leaves and a couple of weeks later it was time to move them to a slightly larger pot.



 


Their leaves grew really big and they seemed to be thriving! One was growing big enough to start to pop out of the soil. The instructions said they’d be ready to harvest after 4-6 weeks. I picked out the clear largest and it was a perfectly formed radish!



I gave the rest some more time but, when I did pick them, only one had grown! They all had huge leaves but the remaining 4 radishes were measly, slim tubes, not round radishes.

I have attempted to transplant them back into the soil to see if there is any hope of plumping them up a bit now there’s more space in the pot!

Wish me luck!
