Second batchers matching into the second week

The radishes are growing okay. Not surprisingly fast. But they are healthy. Their stems are now much shorter than their predecessors, who prolonged their stem to compete with their neighbors for sunlight.




There's one thing that has been puzzling me. In the leftmost pot, the seed that I sowed in the center of the pot never germinated. It failed for the first time. And it also failed for the second tim. Perhaps something wrong with the depth at which I sowed the seed? Or, the surrounding seedlings are releasing toxin to harm their neighboring competitors?

The compost tea didn't work well - at least not for the rightmost pepper plant. It's still thin and not too tall. Its leaves are small also.



The pepper plant in the middle performs the worst. Shortest, thinnest and growing the slowest. So, I am going to use something else with the weaker plants -- chicken soup. I mean, chicken poop soup.



The leftmost pepper plant is growing wonderfully. The leaves are big. Its stem is thick. And it's shooting up straight and tall. Looking forward to its pepper wonder fruits.
