That list would have been very useful here in our crazy record setting heat wave summer. All, I mean all radishes bolted almost immediately... even when grown in semi-shade. It was madness.
Purslane and amaranth, I have grown them before in more 'normal' seasons, why didn't I sow any this year? I found them very dependable in most weathers, will have to keep them in mind for the next spring.
Red Army amaranth was a staple ornament for my family for several summers, it was very pretty (I tried to preach to my parents about the health benefits but the taste took some getting used to ..) and it did well in a container as well.
Still plenty of seeds for them and I will definitely sow them next spring.
Brassicas... I am sowing some tatsoi for the autumn. And winter radishes... hope to get some in late September.
