Your radishes look great. I pulled some of mine the other day (waited 30 days instead of the 25 that the seed packet said) and all I got was a colored stem and great looking leaves. Has anyone ever ate the leaves? I think that will be all I get for my first time planting them? Thanks.

Hi, yes – I’ve used a plastic tunnel cloche to get things moving early this year so I’ve been munching on radishes and little gem thinnings for the past fortnight. Spring onions just about up to the job now too. Don’t you just love spring ? :-)

Tom, I would love to have some chickens. The problem is, my cats would love me to have some chickens too!

I’m convinced you need to start keeping chickens. They’re not too much work, great to have around the place and you would have eggs with much yellower yolks.

That looks SO delicious. About 10 days and I think I’ll have some radishes to harvest.

BTW – beautiful photography on your site!

Hello :)

I just wanted to pop in and thank you for writing your blog. I’ve been reading for a little while and, now that we’ve just moved to a new property with a garden, I’m aspiring to being able to post pics of my first radish… :)

My vegetable gardening is going to be experimental because I don’t really know what I’m doing and the word experimental leaves things open for failure as well as success and surprises *grin*

Happy garden blessings to you :)

Hi Zee – no I’ve never grown Mooli. I’ve seen them in magazines but haven’t gotten around to giving them a go. I always understood them to be a winter crop because they are frost hardy apparently.
