May 2010 – Year 3
The working out at the extended plot is in the heights…. planting, watering and weeding…. as a saying “Nothing sow nothing gain”…. so here I am ready for the ball rolling…..
We still have not much rain during this month….. so watering is essential… elbow grease is needed….
Here is photo of collage view of my plot in May….
Beginning of May
Lots of seedlings are ready to plant out at the plot, some has been germinated well at the plot, such as beetroots, turnips, Spring Onions….
A short clips of what is happening………
Into the Mid of May…
At last the bed 11th has been dug over and ready to plants out young plants….. a lot of ad hoc works around the plot…… just keep life more entertaining…
Coming to the End of May….
We have been busy around the plot just the busy bees, planting in tomatoes, corns, beans, Comfrey, Spinach, Lettuce….. Weedlings has a big bloom too….. where is the supposed moist May…. we are having fun carrying water here and there…..
Obviously the joy is having the goodies after all the hard work, we have start the bumper harvest now and watch this space and more to the storeroom….

Good morning, I noticed that you have planted some mooli (Chinese Radish Lokbor) last year, was it succeful? I tried to grow mooli this year (johnson seeds), but it seems failed as most of it wilt or bolt. If you have succefully grow mooli, I would appreciate if you could kindly advise me where you bought the seeds from and how to grow them. Thank you very much for your kind attention and your advice is highly appreciated.

Hi Candice, I have noticed the Mooli better grow in early Spring or Autumn time here in England, avoid growing in Summer as they are belong to Radish family, which better grow in cooller weather. Last year my crops are better in size and taste when I sowed the seeds in late July and harvest in October and November time. This year we had such long hot summer I am not bother to grow this till next year. Try Marshalls seeds, follow the link here http://www.marshalls-seeds.co.uk/search-results.html?fq=mooli&Submit=Submit+Query I hope this help and please do let me know how is your progress in Mooli growing….
