[Ag-eq] Munching from the garden

[Tracy Carcione]

I've just started getting the first harvest from my garden--lettuce and 
radishes.  I know y'all in warm places are streaks past that, but it's 
exciting for me.
Every spring, I tell myself that, this year, I'll remember to plant new 
seeds every 2 or 3 weeks.  Then I forget, just like I did again this year. 
I might be able to sneak in a few more lettuces and radishes, though, before 
it gets really hot.
This year, I'm trying a French Breakfast-type radish.  It's one of the 
icicle-shaped ones.  I picked the first one today, to put into tonight's 
salad.  It's supposed to be a mild radish, unless I've left it too long. 
Mine is long and fat, more like a short carrot than a radish.

For the last couple years, I let the Prosso millet the birds planted by the 
birdfeeder grow.  It's kinda pretty, like corn.  Now I want to get rid of 
it, and it's created all these thick underground runners, kinda like bamboo. 
It's going to require quite a bit of digging.  What a mistake!
