Developing my knowledge all the time. I love growing plants: barely any space on my windowsills, nor on my patio as it's full of pots. #renting.

Hopefully I’m going to have some #radish in a few weeks! #frenchbreakfastradish

Mine are taking ages. It's been 8 weeks and I pulled one out and there was no radish, just roots. I will wait another 2 weeks and check again.

@ublaszko Mine are growing quite quickly but remains to be seen how well they do!

They leaves seem to be growing fast but still no sign of radish.

18/07/18 ok so I have pulled up all my radish. A)because of all the caterpillars and b) because I think times up! Most of them were like the ones on left, so thin, no real radish and some have split. However the three on the right are more radish like. Are they good enough to eat? I am going to sow some more. I think I need to sow them more thinly and/or thin them out earlier. Any advice? I am hoping I do better next time! @charlotte @kimmy01 @linfoster

The ones on the right look perfect to me. So definitely eat and enjoy. I would love to be able to give you advice but I am growing them for the first time too. A lot of mine didn't grow or have been attacked by caterpillars. I have just kept on trying. Love to hear what advice others can give.

Pesky caterpillars! Just emptied 16 on bird table! I'll keep persevering! 😊 @charlotte

Do. I am beginning to learn that not everything will go to plan. Enjoy the successes however small and learn from those that didn't go to plan. And accept that something's are not in your control

@Charlotte. They really do grow quick! Less than a week! Will probably have to thin them out a bit.
