  • Well done tvman. Looks excellent.

    this year I have grown radishes for the first time and they came up so quickly.

    this year we have grown courgettes , peas , runner beans , cucumber tomatoes.

    the leeks , carrots and purple sprouting from seed will be planted out soon 

    my blueberry bush and lots of berries just about to ripen 

    your raised beds are lovely and so good you can still garden.

    i am thinking of you with your op today xx

  • Hi Ruth , radishes are a quick cropper, in the early growing season they can be grown between early sowings of carrots, parsnips or other slow maturing crops and the radishes will be harvested sooner.

    Take care and stay safe Ruth

  • Thanks very much Annette and Pet and Ulls....and everyone for your compliments. I'm sad and happy at the same time when I think about Ruth, sad that Ruth you can't post any more and happy to know you like what you see Ruth. My thoughts are with you Ruth. You were almost always first to comment on my posts and others'posts too.

    Hope you enjoyed eating those radishes you were growing Ruth. Little round (or French breakfast shaped) explosions of peppery brilliance in the mouth. Overlooked by many but they lift any salad dish. I looked forward to eating them. 

    Take care and stay safe everyone
