Radish and onion review

pretty much all summer squash/cucumbers are likely to be in similar straits in an arid climate. if you have plenty of water they'll be good producers, but of course it also helps to have native bees around for pollination.

Sorry to hear about your back luck with the germination and the poor showing on the squash.

Kitazawa seeds has a couple of lettuce and a few other varieties that I like and can't find elsewhere, but I've pretty much given up ordering from them.

Their prices and shipping costs make their seeds more expensive than most other vendors. I wish they'd offer smaller seed packages at a lower cost. Lettuce and onion seeds usually aren't reliable after the first year, and sending 500+ lettuce seeds in each package means most are tossed out since I'm only growing for myself and a neighbor.

It's certainly not a frugal option despite the hard-to- find varieties.
