Radish

The "Valentine" radish seed from Stokes Seeds was planted today. The seed was carefully spaced on toilet paper to maintain depth and to insure proper spacing, thus eliminating thinning after sprouting. Some wood ash was applied to the row in an attempt to inhibit damage by flea beetles. It may not work but at least I tried.

Germinated in nine days, a few of the days were relatively cool around 5 C. No sign of leaf damage due to flea beetles.
