Celebration.

Well done Anthony, keep at it. I cleared some more space yesterday for another 4 x 70cl bags laid down as grow bags. So today I have sown some more peas and more runner beans to follow on from those already doing well......... My son says, 'mother haven't you got enough'. 'No' says I. Not while there is room to put more.:D Your enthusiasm is infectious as Hel says. Good for you.

 

Thanks everyone.

I've expanded the range of produce by buying some young broad and runner beans plants. I got them on the way back from the garden center (went to by some plastic labels) from a house with a sign outside. I know it's cheating but at £3 for six of each I felt that I couldn't turn them down.

 

Hi everyone.

Time for another celebratory post! My current crop of radishes are ready. I've decided to wait until the weekend before I pull them all (another 18) out but decided to treat myself to two ...



I diced them, snipped off the top of some of my lettuces, added some salad dressing and some warmed croutons and hey presto ... a simple end of work snack!

They've a lovely peppery taste. :D

That's the way radishes should taste! Well done!

 

Back to your onions....my first crop didn't germinate so I planted a different packet last week and lots have come up.
Your first post said that your onions hadn't come through. If they never made it you are not too late to get a few spring onions to go with your radishes!

 

Hi Prastio.

My spring onions eventually made an appearance and are growing well. I'm growing in pots right now and i've got 4 pots of onions at various stages.

Excellent! Try and resist eating them all so that you can keep some as sets to grow into full-sized onions next year. They take a bit of space, and they can be frustrating as they tend to bolt easily, but it is very satisfying to grow your own onions from seed.

 

Why do they call them 'spring' onions? They take so long to grow the only way to eat them in spring is if you plant them the previous year I sow in pots throughout the spring and summer and pop them in the ground when they get big enough then I have spring onions all through the winter.
Great thread you've started here Anthony. As for being excited when you see your seeds germinating, I can see what you mean, but with me it's more relief that they're growing. LOL :D

 

Well done Anthony, it's a great feeling, so no need to apologise :thumb:
