Can I grow radish on my windowsill?
« on: April 23, 2009, 18:21 »
I'm looking for something to grow on a windowsill -its a really sunny spot. I'm going to film it on our webcam for the website so I need something that will grow fairly quickly but won't get too big. I've never grown radish before -will it get too hot inside for it? Help!

Radish need to grow outside.

It too warm inside.

Why not grow them outside & video it through the window?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

My house is a building site at the moment so only scaffolding and rubble outside the house! And the veg patch is at the bottom of the garden. Any ideas what I could grow inside instead?

You should make a DVD series - like the "burning Real Fire" DVD to play on monster plasma screens :)

If you want something fast, lush and loving the sun - how about sweet basil?
