    I don't like rocket.
    Fair enough. It was a daft idea. Me thinks Monty should stick to his jewel garden.

    I'd definitely seek legal advice

        But you can lift them, and replant them somewhere else....use it as a lesson in careful transplanting.

          Gawd knows I need one! How come I do something, then you post and tell me to do it?

          Honestly, I've just moved the ones at greatest risk. They'll die though. They always do.

            Radishes are better used as a marker for parsnip seeds, anyway.

              I didn't see the program, but in defence of Monty I'm sure that not everyones potatoes have grown at the same rate and at least someone may have benefitted from an early radish crop?

              It does seem such a waste of space, with bare soil and nothing happening for a long time.Because maincrops are planted at rather wide spacings I would imagine catch cropping between the rows would be a good idea?
              I don't do rows myself, only pockets so I sometimes sow radishes as a marker for other slower growing plants. Sometimes I get an odd radish or two!
