Today we pulled two daikon radishes, one big and one small. The big one feels quite heavy. We sliced them and cooked them with some dried scallops.

Minowase Radish I can see the roots

Sunny 20°C / 68°F

The seedlings are sporting true leaves. Some are not standing straight, though. I suspect cat malice.
