The hardiest vegetable?

[Snadger]

How about Jerusalem Artichokes, rhubarb, horseradish or comfrey?? You can't kill any of these off, even if you beat them with a stick, they just keep coming back!

How often do you beat your veg with a stick Snadge?

Hi Super moderator. I may be new here but I have many years experience on other forums. Strange question. So you could be right. If it is genuine, I'll go with horseradish. Trying to kill mine off for years. Lol.

It's a little known gardening technique Fiona!

The reason why Aesculus Hippocastanaceae always thrives is because people throw sticks at it!

We get alot of them on here.

I've changed my mind as well; I'm trying to clear a horseradishy plot at the moment. I was just thinking about crops that people would actually want!

Blimmin stuff.

Yep SarzWix.............the more the kids chuck sticks at it to get the conkers, the more it seems to thrive!

Hi everyone, You'll be happy to know I have not 'done one'!

Thanks to those who gave good advice and for the quick response. I though I would be waiting a few days for any reply.

By hardy I meant at this time of year as I'm keen to get started! I like the idea of garlic and onions.

I would also like to try growing carrots. Could you recommend any growing tips?

You should be able to pick up garlic and onion sets in your local garden centre, or in B&Q/Focus, although it seems like the ground is going to be too frozen to plant anything much for a while...
Have you got a cloche, or some horticultural fleece? You will probably need it to get early carrots going, although even then it'll be a couple of months before you can sow them outdoors... It's mostly planning at this time of year I'm afraid, unless you're lucky enough to have a frost-free greenhouse.

Glad you haven't done one
