Just realized I hadn't made one for the new year. Here's to record radishes, crunchier carrots, and positively perfect potatoes in 2024!

I'm happy to leave those 2023 carrots behind, haha!
I have fingerlings in a couple patches in the garden- hey, just dawned on me I can probably get some radishes on there before the potatoes get too big. If they get big. The fingerlings were leftover ones I found later while turning the soil.
I pulled most Korean radishes, being sure I remembered them freezing off during winter in the past. But I left two, they seem ok. Note that our only series of days below freezing happened with snow cover.
I planted a few dozen onion sets in fall, they have a little greenery. I added some fertilizer this week. And weeded.
I planted 4 'potato onions' sets in fall. Ditto, tiny green tops.
For regular potatoes, I might use the sprouted leftovers from last years crop.
Plant it and they will come.
