How did those radishes turn out, sanderson? So many years ago...

I can't remember how that batch of radishes turned out but a year ago they did great! I added one a day for juicing and they spiced things up just right. The ones seeded early this October are doing great.

Should we change this thread to year 2? Or Brainchasm in Las Vegas?

How are your plants and seedling doing, now?

Most things have sprouted, still waiting on garlic, onions, and lettuces.

Radishes are trucking along, but I'm going to have to put the plastic on the hoops tonight (freeze warning).

Freeze, like 32*F? Seems early for a real freeze.

How did the seedlings survive?

Everything seems to have done fine. I'm not convinced it even frosted by me.

My garlic still hasn't shown any signs of life, and my onions haven't either.

I'm admittedly working with old seed, but if that's the problem, it sure is unfortunate as to which things decided to not sprout. Sad

This year I was so behind due to the heat that I bought seedlings from HD and a nursery. I feel like I cheated. The only seeds I planted were carrots, radishes, toy bok choy and peas.

Regarding old seeds, after 6 years of year around gardening, I have started replacing old seeds.
