    I have a radish question. I thought I'd been super careful and only potted one seed per (very small) pot, but some have more than one sprouting up. Should I try to separate them, or just leave them as is?

    Radishes aren't something I'd sow individually. Better to get a big pot and sow more I think. I'd just leave them though.
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Could be weeds coming up to?
    Radish should be about an inch apart, and sown no more than 1/2" deep. Keep well watered as they grow quickly once up.

    I'd do as MBE suggested and sow some more but not in little pots, you'd need a lot of pots for one salad ;)

    Noticed that all 12 cucumbers I planted have sprouted!

    Planning this weekend to be for seperating carrots. Not helped by the fact I'm supposed to be decorating.
    Have also found snails trying to get at my lettuce twice this week! Grr!
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    I may be brave and pull out the growing tip from Audrey the Aubergine this weekend. How tall do you think it should be before I do it?

    had rain over night and a few slight showers on and off during the day but boy was my garden happy :D
    I'm happy as well because when we cleaned the fish pond out, I found a frog. Carefully put him into the wildlife pond and not only that a friend gave me some tadpoles :T
