How to grow your own food. Radish

If you're new to the whole veggie growing thing then might I suggest you start with radish!

1st you'll need some good garden soil or a largish (30cm) pot and some good quality potting mix.

Plant your seeds as directed on the packet and keep watered. Please don't buy seedlings, radish grows so quick you won't gain anything and waste your money.

Once your seedlings begin to emerge from the soil, about 4 days, begin to apply a good liquid fertilizer, I use and recommend Powerfeed by Seasol and when they are just a bit smaller than a golf ball pick them out of the ground and enjoy.

Radish, if grown stress-free ie. regular watering and application of fertilizer, won't get very hot to taste but will maintain a good warm peppery taste.

So, what the bloody hell are you waiting for? Get stuck in.

Happy New Year everyone.

Happy New Year everyone.

Wishing you all the absolute best possible year ever.

Wishing you all rain if you need, health, fame and fortune, you never know it might be just around the corner.

I'm wishing for some more self-discipline. What can I say, I'm a work in progress.

Anyways, this is a short video showing progress on my Micro-green radish.

It is so dry here I feel this is about all I can manage right now.

Low 30's temperatures for the foreseeable future and not a hint of rain forecast (this is the beginning of our "wet season"). I'm barely able to keep what I've got planted alive so nothing new is going into the ground.
