AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!! I hate slugs.

  I love  my radishes, but this year so do those danged bla**** pinhead sized slugs.

I don't fancy (even when thoroughly well washed) eating them so I have to peel every one.

Awww what a shame Mr Mole, they look such lovely radishes too!   :(

DD, do you leave your radishes in the cat litter trays all the time then?  Until you pull them to eat that is???  ;)

Grown to completion in them, wouldn't attempt to transplant them.

Just like this!




I think it was from Medwym Williams that I got the tip. That's how he grew them for showing. I grow them high up out if the reach of the darn things.

Just remember to water!

Ooooh thanks DD.  I may have to try that!  Not that I've grown many radishes for a couple of years as they get wasted.  It's only me who eats them.

Brian doesn't like them!  Perhaps a smaller tray just for me!!!

Don't sow them too thickly or they'll compete for space and not fill out.

I also find they're better off in the cooler part of the year, rather than "summer".
