A little sunshine goes a long way

After such a beautiful Saturday the little seedlings made a big leap in growth, the radishes are 1/2" tall and most sprouted, so some thinning to be done there, I don't thin to the spacing recommended since I have only a little space. Maybe it means smaller veggies but that is fine with me, plus as I pull up some others have more room to grow.
I think the nights are warm enough for Arugula to be planted again since the first planting must have froze after those 30 degree nights. I will check the black radishes to see if they are spring or summer radishes and plant just a few if it is time. Slowly the brown is being replaced by green, everything is late this year for sure
My peas are 3 inches tall and the birds have not started to eat the leaves, funny to watch and the peas seem to be fine with this little nibbling.
Still eating Kale and some spinach from fall plantings but my garlic is at the end, with only 1/2 a bulb left. I won't have any to pull up for months now, but I can use the tops for some dishes. It will be interesting to see what store bought garlic is like after all this time.
