Radish Harvest!

OK, it's pretty meagre, but I didn't give many of these plants much chance to stretch out their roots.  The few who had the opportunity didn't disappoint.  They look great, but the real test will come when I taste them tonight.

Graduates

Several of my seedlings are lucky enough to relocate to pots large enough in which to mature.  Unfortunately I have only a few of these and many more seedlings still crammed into ice trays.  Poor planning.  The weather is warm enough that I'm going to risk moving them outdoors without the gradual hardening-off process normally recommended.  If it doesn't work out, I take a different approach with other seedlings.  In fact, I turned on the A/C this week, so it's much warmer outside now than it is indoors.  One large pot contains 4 radish plants, which still might be too cramped.  The other large pots will soon contain single chard, chili pepper and tomato plants.
