I just harvested the two largest carrots and two largest radishes from the garden. They were all very, very tiny. But tasty! Bonus because the rabbits are going to love the fresh, fresh carrot greens and get to try radish greens for the first time.
I'm pretty convinced that I need a drip irrigation setup for next year and will need to add fertilizer too, because most of the early crops are running really late and not thriving.
Gardening is not an instant-satisfaction activity.
Tomatoes and cucumbers are going great guns, there's already fruit started on all three varieties of tomatoes (Roma vine, cherry and beefsteak). The cukes are starting to climb the trellis now and have tons of the little yellow flowers that mean it's ready to start putting out edibles.

Our veggies are tiny too. Good, but tiny. They must put mutant-growth chemicals on the ones you see in the markets to get that size. Teensy little tomatoes. The eggplant is huge, though. Wish I liked eggplant.
