Radish is a hardy vegetable,
very easy to grow.
The flowers
are attractive to beneficial insects.
Radish is sown in early autumn and
spring, avoid hot weather. Sow direct
where it is to grow 12 mm (½”) deep.
Thin seedlings to 2.5-5 cm. Keep the row
short and sow small crops every 2 to 3
weeks. Keep soil moist to avoid
toughness, it prefers a rich,
well-drained soil with a pH of 5.5 -
6.5, mulch between the rows. Radish is
usually eaten raw, harvest while young
and tender. Radish can be inter-planted
with other crops such as carrots or
beetroot for a fast harvest.

Originally grown as a
medicinal plant, rhubarb is
now used mainly for
desserts. Prepare a bed in
a sunny well-drained
position by digging
well-rotted compost or
animal manure through the
bed as rhubarb is a ‘hungry’
feeder. Sow seed in spring,
2.5 cm deep directly where
it is to grow, or sow in
trays, covering lightly with
seed raising mix. Space
seedlings 50-60 cm apart.
Water well in dry weather.
Apply a mulch of well-rotted
manure in autumn and spring.
Plants should be divided
after 4-5 years. More information

Caution: Only the rhubarb
stalks should be eaten, and

leaves are poisonous and
