Andrey, I am curious , how many seed potatoes do you put in that pot. I am thinking of keeping my huge ones for something else and using a smaller one for potatoes. I have a great many 5 gallon buckets made up as Global buckets for self watering. I didn't use them last year but am wondering about using them this year.

Jeannine, personally I'm not using tater pots, because we used an extra area for growing potatoes outside our dacha's garden and also because they don't sell such a tool here)))
So I get all the tubers right from the ground. There is one local poptato variety which is about 0,7-1kg per 1 tuber ![]() They are not as tasty as some local Belarusian varieties with small tubers, but it is a very productive indeed. 15-20 kg from one bush... ![]()

Andrey, thank you for that information.That potato sound great, it is a pity we can't trade tubers as well as seeds LOL. I miss one from the UK which I can't get here, it is called Charlotte. I am growing Russian Banana,Sieglinde,French Fingerling and a Russet.
Tracydr, my perennial cauliflower is called Nine Star Perennial, it is a commercial variety but was very hard to find the last time I go the seeds sent from the UK. I sowed what was left this year but have only got 2 seedlings up. The Daubenton Kale seeds came fro the Heritage Seed Library in the UK, (they don't ship overseas)again I had very few seeds but I have managed to get about 7 to pop. I should tell you a bit about Daubenton. It is a French veggie which rarely flowers so seeds are almost impossible to get. It is usually propagated by cuttings and folks in the UK share the plants. I am frankly not expecting the plants I have grown from seed to be true but we will see. It comes green and a variegated one, There are a few perennial cabbage/kales. I also have one called Eeuwig Moes, which does grow from a seed, that seed was sent to me from a friend Holland. There is another one called Delaway which I also got from the Heriatage Seed Library , Irish Seed Savers have it by the way,but it is questionable that this one is perennial. They now ship overseas. Before I moved to where I am now I had a community garden and I had a very large raised bed devoted to Perennial veggies, all of the above plus, perennial leeks, various types of onions and a few other. things. My aim is to try to reestablish it in one bed here. Very fascinating. XX Jeannine |

Grilled radishes? That sounds good-how do you make them? Just brush with oil? I love radish sandwiches, sliced radishes on buttered whole grain bread and lightly salted.

Til I saw the request on another post, I had forgotten all about them, but I have some Baby Bok Choy seeds Jeannine Anne if you would like some. They don't get very big at all.

I would love to help you with that but as I said I sowed all my seeds which were old and I got 1 plant, there seems to be another one trying but I think it is losing the battle.
It is a bit like the white Sprouting Broccolis, but if you pick the shoots before they flower you can keep the plant going for several years. I am going to try to find more and if I do I will let you know. Meantime you can grow the white sprouting broc. I grow several sprouting brocs every year and I am hoping to find enough space to do so this year too. I have a range of them which harvest from July onwards right through May, most are purple but I have a couple of white ones Some of the varieties are Red Spear,Summer Purple,Santee,Late Purple, Rudolph,Redhead,White Star and White Eye. I need to look for fresh ones so I will let you know what I find but meanwhile I think these will sprout one more year, they are 2012 seeds. I can send you a few of what I have left if you would like them. I am out od some but do have Santee, White Eye, Redhead all of them mature Feb thru April. I don't know what your weather is Luigi so you decide. If you need to look it up it is called Sprouting Broccoli. XX Jeannine |
