Hi there, I am new to gardening and wanted to be a bit more self sufficient so I have planted peppers, tomatoes, radishes and runner beans.The runner beans are now over five feet tall, and are in my summerhouse.I leave the door open at night to get them used to lower temperatures, and I am going to stand them outdoors at the end of May.Do I need to nip the tops off them at any point? I also want to know when my radishes will be ready to pull as they are getting lots of leaves on them.I planted them two months ago.My toms are in my conservatory and I have posted a question on this site tonight.I also have three varieties of lettuce in a special herb and salad growbag , and they are doing well, more so the Kos variety.Oh, I just remembered I bought Lemon Tree which is slow going, but looking very healthy, this is kept in my conservatory.Any tips you want to pass on to me will be very welcome.
I will update once a week on my progress with my edible efforts !

welcome to goy. sounds like your radishes might be ready ours took about 6 weeks, you could feel around and find the bigger ones first try gently pulling one or two up!
good luck K.

Oh thanks for all the nice welcomes ! You are all so friendly ! Checked my radishes and there is nothing there yet. I dug one up and there was nothing on the end of the stalk?! How long do I have to wait do you think? Thanks in advance .x
