I Got a Turnip

I pulled up a turnip. Yep. There it is. I am proud.

The Mysterious Carrot Radish

When I pulled up the first group of these Cincinnati market radishes (from Seed Savers) I had forgotten they were this elongated variety. So when I pulled up these carrot-like suckers I was completely befuddled. Thanks to modern technology I was able to check the website for what I had ordered, and promptly felt like an idiot. :)

Turnips!

Turnips are practically exploding out of the ground. Here's Bibs, one of the friendly barn cats, checking out the progress.

Root Vegetables Make an Appearance

After a few days of rain soaking the garden, root vegetables are starting to emerge. First came the beets with their pretty dark red veins, they push up quickly and leaf out to make themselves known. 

The parsnips unfortunately got planted in a big spot of clay, so I'm not expecting great things from them.

Here are the carrots, which are so small for so long, and I have a terrible time distinguishing from some of the weeds. Can you see why?
