We also have seedling sprouting. These little babies are Rainbow Chard.

I have started to put out the rest of my seedlings to harden them off. they grow much better in the sun than under the lights.

Yeah! the radishes are sprouting. WARNING if you have chickens fence them out of your budding garden.

I went out this AM and the chickens had gotten into the bed and the radishes are no more. Oh, and make sure your fencing is secure. My chickens just pushed the fence out of the way. I am beginning to think they don’t realize how big they are, one got stuck in the bush today and I had to get her out. Baby’s got back!
