Daikon goes boom. Pak choi is on the way up with it. Gotta solve my soil issues before I put these down. Speaking of soil issues, I probably gotta start over on my squash bed. Nothing looks too happy in there and instead of watching it die a slow death, I'm just gonna direct sow everything after I get some amendments in with it.

In the mean time, I'm just watching these guys revive some hope for a summer harvest

One side of my sad squash arch

The nasturtium that are struggling in the pac choi bed

Gotta pull the mulch back and add some good stuff otherwise

You start your roots inside?

I placed my radishes and carrots together in a bowl and than put them in rows, this year I am disregarding rows and was planning on broadcasting them in one bed, but I also want parsnips and trying to figure out if I can do the same since they are a frost harvest.

The radishes protect the carrots while they germinate and are harvested before the carrots need the space, it also aerates and loosens the soil for the carrots.

I usually wouldn't be doing anything inside at all by now, but some stuff slipped away on me

Figured I'd give myself a leg-up while I spot-ammend over the week. Usually radishes and spinach go together for me and are direct-sow

Additional fun fact: diakon are my go-to for clay busting over large areas. Grow them as cover then just till them in when you start bed prep
