Here are some pictures of the winter sown African daisy flowers

Winter sowed the African Daisy flower seeds in Jan. 2011, the sprouts came out but died later, I believe the heavy and non-stop rains killed them. I sowed the seeds again in beginning of March. Once they sprouted, I placed the winter sowing large flat under the edge of the hourse roof (outdoor), which give it some protection from the rains. They blooms well start from from mid May, 2011.

Here are some pictures taken on March 30, 2011.

Some major progress here:

1. Cherry radishes are almost fully grown. I think I can harvest them around April 8.

2. Chinese veggies ( Choy-sum-choi-sum-Brassica-rapa-parachinensis-Chinese-flowering-cabbage) and spinach mustards grow to around 6 to 8 inches in the containers. Can you image just 2 weeks time, they grown from the 2 inches winter sown seedlings to this size? Amazing!!!

I can eat the tender green as salad but since I prefer to make some fried veggies for Chinese dishes, I will wait 2 more weeks to harvest them.

3. I transplanted more ws seedlings on the ground with mushroom compost mixed some peat moss and organic fertilizer. Lets see how they goes in couple of weeks.
