Just pulling the last of those sown end April last year. Still perfect - about pencil thick.

Two later sowings long finished.

TIM!!  Very off topic, but I've been away for c.3 years and hadn't seen your name pop up as often as I remembered it did so was wondering if all was well with you. So glad it is!

Yes, I am a bit cracked... ;D

Hah well I am blowed if I can get spring onions to grow! Then again I never manage radish usually...oh the hilarity.
Well This year I am starting them off in pots to see if I can't get some that way.
And (on topic) last year's forgotten onions started to sprout back up! The onion seems sort of rotten! but they have lovely stems (scapes?) which I have been putting in salad and cooking with various bits, very mild and tasty. so all is not lost I guess!
As Tim would say "Never underestimate the regrowth!!!"
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

The late sowing grown in the polytunnel are just about ready now.

Some years back now Tim suggested growing them in modules and planting out a bunch at a time-it works like a dream-well done that man :)

I cleared all my snips and carrots the other week and discover a few springys still happily growing away in between them.    ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
