Being a novice, I decided to try radishes. I figured that they were notoriously easy and fast growing, so I'd get a quick reward for sticking with something.
Wrong.
Today I was supposed to harvest my first "crop." The radishes didn't develop! I had beautiful tops, but zero radishes. I turned to my personal horticulturalist, Google, for answers.
It was too hot. I misjudged the radish's ability to withstand the blistering temperatures of a foothill spring. It got all the way up into the 80s. *sigh*
So no radishes yet. And nothing else for another couple of months. So there won't be a quick reward for my efforts. But now I know better, and I'll make sure to pay closer attention to when I need to plant my crops.
