All you radish growers - how do you get nice clean radishes without slug bites?. Do you all grow them in containers? All my attempts to grow them in our veg patch are unsuccessful as they get eaten to death.

'Bout equal then ! We had a grand total of 2 strawberries - this morning!


Waiting for garlic, onions and spring cabbages. Can't wait! And just got an allotment so more veggies to come by the end of the year.

I don't have a great deal of ground to grow in, I tried ( or rather the kids tried) radishes in pots & the ground.

We've had a few from the ground that haven't been touched by the slugs, the majority however have been feasted upon.

We've had a much better result growing in pots

Spring onions, a single strawberry (blackbird chief suspect for pinching the others on that plant) but more are nearly ready (must get some netting on today while it's fine!) and mixed salad leaves.
The rasps are quite a long way off (ditto netting) and the spuds are getting flower buds so hopefully in for a bumper crop again this year !

The spring oni0ns were sown in last years potato containers (tipped out, rifled for spuds then put all the compost back), however I missed a few seedling sized spuds and have just harvested a sideplate-ful of small new potatoes - I need the containers for something else now or they might have grown a bit bigger!

Ooooh I forgot about the rhubarb :rolleyes: We've had a few rhubarb crumbles :drool:

I grow radishes in the kid's old plastic toy boxes, they're about 18" x 12" and 12" tall. Also very useful for lego

Rhubarb, rhubarb and more rhubarb This has been an absolutely marvelous season for it. Salad leaves and loads of radishes. I grow these in two boxes about 15x15 bought in poundland and so far have had no slug damage.
