My chives are doing well and the spring onions from many years ago are back and have buds.

I guess I should go throw a few radish seeds in my "garden".The first of the radishes are up. This is the earliest I've tried radishes....21 days and counting (the same amount of time it would take to hatch a clutch of eggs if one the girls would go broody....they seem more interested in spending time following the Big Chickens than they do sitting on a clutch of eggs...).
Go for it! I find if I seed late May, often the radishes bolt because it gets too hot in June. We have had good luck planting radish seeds mid-August for fall radishes. I have also put in the winter radishes then. Don't forget you can eat the tops (before they get fuzzy!).I guess I should go throw a few radish seeds in my "garden".
Thanks for the tip on radish tops.Go for it! I find if I seed late May, often the radishes bolt because it gets too hot in June.

Tax what Harry will not tell you is that he was a renowned orchid grower who has won a number of Royal Horticultural Society medals. I was very proud when he won the gold medal, which in the horticultural world is like winning the 100 metres at the Olympics.Harry, please tell us about the potato growing bags.
Harry, please tell us about the potato growing bags.
you're absolutely right bro' b i wasn't going to mention it!.i am,as you know,of the shy & retiring persuasion,which is why i am an estate agent!!Tax what Harry will not tell you is that he was a renowned orchid grower who has won a number of Royal Horticultural Society medals.

what a fantastic idea tax,thank you.bolas,guess what we're doing next weekend? you,me,some soil,seed pots,straw & one of the water butts...c'mon tax!!Thanks Harry. I thought it sounded like a variation on growing potatoes in a barrel. In the barrel, you just put soil/compost at the bottom. Then you keep adding straw. That way the spuds stay clean.
I was wondering where I would get a barrel. Now I will try it with a bag.
