Two Shoots

May 22nd, 2009 No comments

Two of the “moist paper towel” radishes planted yesterday have developed nice shoots with small green leaves or cotyledons just at the surface of the potting soil.

Additionally, there are growths from one other “moist paper towel” radish and also two of the “jar of water” radishes but these growths appear to be confused roots (radicles) rather than shoots. It was not possible to properly orient the germinated seeds during planting but I had expected the radicles to be more sensitive to gravity (geotropic). Perhaps I soaked them too long (24 hours) before planting.
