Welcome!!!

If you stumbled among this site, "Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens" is a collection of journal entries that I have kept on my computer for years, and have now decided to post. The journal contains my successes and failures with my favorite selections of plants. I'm talking about more than 50 years of caring for and living with green things. Not everything is here. More of it is learned and store in my head. However, here I will share facts about each plants, my research, as well as my personal and gathered tips on their care. I was not planning to post my houseplant and backyard journals online, so editing them for errors was not a priority to me. This being the case, perhaps, one day I will correct all the spelling and grammar errors in both of them. We would not want people to think I did not know better, when I was only being lazy. Again, no apologizes. It is what it is for now.

Whoa!!! We Got Radishes!

Hello, Darlings

I was amazed and happy when my Contender and Tendergreen bush beans appeared. Now I am simply ecstatic that my Korean radishes have grown.

To tell the truth, I thought the seeds failed to germinate, and while I was cleansing all the hydroponic towers this morning, I briefly thought of them with a little remorseful sign. However, this afternoon, I discovered them when I was trimming the green onions, and lo and behold when I lifted some turnip greens leaves to trim the onions, I saw that there were at least four white Korean radishes in the pods beneath them.

As the package states, these radishes come from are Gaeas Blessing Seeds company and you can buy them at Amazon, Walmart as well as Gaeas Blessing Seeds. They are a member of the daikon radish family, and they are milder than the usual red radishes and less gas forming.




The next time we have salad, I will post a review on these radishes taste and texture. In addition, when I germinate more seeds, I will use the larger pre-moisten grow pods, because these radishes are out growing the normal grow sponges and the plastic pods.

Until next time,

Keep Growing!
