I do radish too but no one in my family really likes them except the guinea pig.  ;-)  I've had some luck with beets too.

it would be very cheap since we're located in CT.  You could come here and pick some up, or I frequently drive to Holliston and you could buy some "off the back of my truck".  ;-)  Send me a private message and we can arrange something!

"...not over water them."

Very True. This is why I had introduced re-circulating wicking beds with manual valves. That way, I could control how much and how often to  water. I am going to be trying to grow Olive Trees in a couple of months. They do like to have  a dry period every now and then.

God bless :-)

I think the key is to not over water them.  My next batch I will probably try just once a day...maybe even every other day.  I've also been experimenting with onions....I'm finding that the less water, the better.  ;-)

Good to know. I’d read carrots are an AP no-go. Thanks for posting the vid. So the guinea pig’s name is “Carrot Top?” lol

Thank you for sharing ;-)

I have successfully grown Indian Mooli and Diakon radish for over a year and half in my media beds and love the fact that we eat the complete vegetables. I love seeing that you have use for the carrot tops...your pets certainly seems to be having a feast :-)

God bless,
