Week 9

This week I got to harvest my first vegetable! A few weeks back I planted radishes and this past week, I noticed that one of them was growing and the red vegetable was poking out of the ground. When I saw it, I was extremely happy and honestly kind of shocked that it worked since this is my first time growing food. The radish was very small but it was still awesome. Unfortunately, I left the radish on a shelf in my kitchen for a few days and it shriveled up. Next time, I think it will help to put it in the refrigerator.  I also put together my hydroponics system and planted kale in the system. This is also my first time creating a hydroponics system so I am excited to learn about it in practice and see if I can get my kale to grow big and yummy! I have not yet watered it, but now that I think of it, I will do it today. Currently, I have my hydroponics system outside by the side of my house where it can get plenty of sunlight to stay strong. I am thoroughly enjoying how much I am learning in this class and cannot wait to continue harvesting more veggies.
