Didn't realise just how neatly I sowed seeds this year  :joy:

Pink Radish:


As above - Pink Radish closer shot:


Fenugreek:


It will soon be time to thin them out sadly.
I wish I could garden all year round!

    Did you sow the whole packet at once!   Just a pinch every week is better or all your radishes will be ready to eat at the same time.

      :)  lol that tickled me Lyn :blush:

    It was at the end of my many hours in the garden, I was tired and yup I did cut corners lol.

    Luckily they were surplus sprouting seeds I grow in jars for their sprouts. I am not too keen on the pink radish sprout as they are smelly, but I am ok with their leaves so decided to grow them outdoors.

    The Fenugreek is from my spice cupboard which I also sprout, but with spring and summer on the horizon, I fancy growing them big enough for their leaves as they make curries amazing.

    I was going to say the same thing @Lyn :D
    You'll either be sick to death of eating them @M33R4 [assuming you have room for them all!] or you'll have some serious thinning to do   :)

    I really like fenugreek leaf (methi) in curries. Always use the dried stuff - never occurred to me try growing fresh from store cupboard seed. I will give it a try.

    Thanks for the idea @M33R4 🙂

    Back in the 70’s it was all the rage to grow sprouting seeds,  always a windowsill full of glass jars, Fenugreek was one,  also Mung beans.  Can’t remember what else.
