Vitogrow Blog
Welcome to the Vitogrow Blog...
We thought we would keep a blog of our Vitogrows to show how much you can grow in a small space.
We’ve sown 2 Vitogrows.
In the veg Vitogrow we planted Spinach, Paris Silverskin Onion, Beetroot, Turnips and Carrot seeds.
In the salad Vitogrow we planted Mixed Lettuce leaves, Spring Onion, Radish, and Rocket.

The sunshine has led to a rapid growth. The beetroot and turnips are 12cm tall. The radishes are 23cm tall, spinach is 16cm tall and lettuce leaves are ready for eating. |

The beetroot and turnips have grown so much they are over-crowding the carrots and onions. However, the radishes and turnips will be harvested soon, so this will give the carrots and onions more space and light to grow. We’ve picked more salad leaves too. |

We have harvested radish and spinach and we are still picking mixed salad leaves and rocket, which are great as cut and come again.

This week we harvested over 3kgs of baby turnip from our Vitogrow, giving the baby spring onions and carrots more space. We are also still picking rocket and mixed salad leaves form the salad Vitogrow along with a couple of baby spring onions. |

With the beetroot all harvested the carrots have even more space to grow and should be ready for the picking in the next two weeks. |

The seeds in both Vitgrows are already germinating nicely. The tallest plant is 4-5cm. We have thinned the beetroot, carrot and turnips.
Tallest Plant- 23cm (Radish)
Tallest Plan- 40cm (Turnip) 
The majority of the veg in our first Vitogrow is ready to pick, especially the baby turnips, which will give more room for the spring onions and carrots.
Harvested 3kg of baby turnips
We have fully harvested our Salad Vitogrow and are preparing to start growing again, laying down some more compost and sowing some more seeds.
We have harvested the beetroot from the vegetable Vitogrow. As you can see from the photo they have grown really well and we can’t wait to eat them.
We harvested the last of the beetroot from the vegetable Vitogrow, we’ve had 25 good sized ones. Our carrots now have ample space and nutrients to continue their growth.
