It's not much, but it's a start. Today I thinned some of the radishes. What a surprise! These were supposed to all be Cherry Belles- standard red outside, white inside. The lighting doesn't really show just how much the colors vary. I love the purple one on the right. I was going to bring in some arugula as well, but was sidetracked when I reached my arm into an ant nest. Ants swarming up your arm... not fun. Now I itch like crazy- darn tiny ants. I'll retrieve the arugula later.

It's lovely to pick the first vegetables of the season. And your radishes look delicious. The colour varietations are interesting too - is the flavour different from colour to colour?
chaiselongue, I had the purple one and a larger red one at dinner tonight. I want to say they tasted slightly different; but it may have been related to the size difference. I brought in another, larger purple one today so I will pay more attention next time and report back!
