(I've gotten bean seeds before by hanging them in our garage.) I don't think there's much of a chance they'll make it in your wet, wet weather. :o(Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-26391533482945762022014-10-14T17:36:55.866-05:002014-10-14T17:36:55.866-05:00Can you tell me when to harvest my radish seed?

This is my first time harvesting radish seeds, the pods are good size but it's rained here for the passed 5 days and the weather report shows atleast 5 more days of rain. Can they be pulled and hung to dry in the barn?<br />Thank you<br />Rue<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-72349797830131957242014-10-14T09:49:43.996-05:002014-10-14T09:49:43.996-05:00Mollie - Yes, you ARE a bad influence!

It simply takes time to get the soil built up . . . unless you're lucky enough to start yours on a patch where cows were pastured for 50 years! ;o}Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-86202911325487995642014-10-14T09:43:22.562-05:002014-10-14T09:43:22.562-05:00Leah Ahrenholz - Hi!

I guess we can never figure it out! My husband, who watches the weather forecast much more closely than I, says we have about a week of colder weather coming. Maybe it will bring us our first killing frost. I'm not sure I'm hoping for that . . . or not!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-29517766211304068482014-10-14T09:39:32.575-05:002014-10-14T09:39:32.575-05:00Kristina - I really did get up from writing this p...Kristina - I really did get up from writing this post and clean the bathroom!

But we all learn from our missteps, right? Ha.

We got ours last night :( Thankfully we had everything we needed covered but now that it's supposed to get warmer we didn't have the heart to rip out the last few stragglers in the garden.

The small ones (pie pumpkins) never did size up more than about softball size. And they have very little orange on them.
