After getting a fresh bag of Yates Black Magic seed raising mix it was time to see if the cause of the onion germination problems was the potting mix. Other onions this year have been germinated in Yates Thrive. In went one seed tray worth of the borettana onions, 40 seeds in total.
Out of the seed tray of thrive went one borettana and one red onion into the patch. As all the radishes have been eaten, so too did three rows of radishes, two of the watermellon radish and one of the black radish.
On the topic of watermellon, some have germinated as have cucumber. Probably too late for this season but they'll be kept inside in the hope of someting good happening.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for posting the great photos of your garden.
We too, are growing a vegie garden in Dunedin. This year we put a wire fence with plastic around the raised garden bed. A bit like a tunnel house without the roof. Keeps the garden alot warmer and has helped plants come on quickly. Also using pea straw helps to retain moisture and keeps the weeds down. Look forward to reading your future posts.
Do you blog your vege patch?
