There’s a reason why the first challenge on the Big Allotment Challenge was to grow radishes, and this time of year reminds me that one of the easiest quickest wins on any allotment is radishes. I’m sure that if cockroaches survived a nuclear holocaust, they would have ample feeding on similarly indestructible radishes.

Only two weeks after planting they’re already looking like proper seedlings. In another 3-4 weeks the first ones will be picked ready for adding to a tasty green salad.
