winter radish in summer?
« on: May 07, 2007, 19:09 »
Ive just realised that the radish type i am growing 'china rose' is a winter variety and should have been sown in late summer.  oops.  will they still produce anything decent in the summer?  or should i go and buy some 'icicle' variety seeds quick!?

My guess is that they'll bolt.  Best get new seed

on a similar note,the so called winter onions have been over taken by the spring sown sets  :? i'm sure they were normal sets in a different packet,i was about 20 short of a full row and a bloke gave me a handfull to finish the row,now the ones he gave me are doing great well ahead.
the ones i bought were taylors from the garden centre,if i had proof of purchase they would be hearing from me.
feed the soil not the plants

WG has it right. They will just bolt. I tried planting Daikon multiple times last year before summer solstice and the danged things always can tell when the days are getting longer.
wistfully hoping to one day be mostly organic gardener in North London.
