Edible Gardening

Just wish to let fellow "newbies" know, I found...... any green tom you grow will ripen, even down to 1in (25mm) diameter toms (in fact my small toms are exceedingly sweet!) A few ripened on the bush, the rest ripened on a sunny window-ledge or under the settee in the living-room in the...

Cheers. Might hoe it all off this weekend then cover with some weed matting until February.

thankyou

Don't be harsh on yourself, it is easy done. Just about to head to work, so will look later on - thank you

I have Autumn Bliss and cut them down to the ground each winter as others have said.Rather than buy more plants I pull out suckers and replant elsewhere. But could be good to try another variety too ☺️

Been there. Done that. Often so soul destroying, having prepared the ground, planted, contended with bugs etc attacking the top growth. The come the time to harvest. Her the scene changes. Much is the result of the seasonal weather. Row upon row of moth ball sized tubers, then agood season,...

@mazambo I didn't come across that one and it looks to be right so I'll get some seeds. Thank you.

Thanks Pete, good information, I'll try some white ones.

A tiddler from a 'giant marrow' plant that wasn't given much preparation/attention as it was being grown to produce marrows for eating, and has a couple of marrows left on it.At 24lbs it's still soft skinned and juicy, whereas tradditional marrows would be much drier, tough and have skins as...

The first lots of plants have gone yellow with only few nice beans but now lots of seed The young plants should do well even if it's just a few for meals now on, freezer is full for the winter

Dont quite understand that statement DR. Grafted trees are more likely to come up with the goods and I'm guessing if you bought an almond tree at any nursery it will probably be grafted.

Thanks. Ah well you live and learn!

hallo,have found similar threads but none tell me how and when to prune a hazelnut? Last year i did not prune at all thinking the nuts will come at the end of new shoots -- very few did. They are now getting to be rather large bushes with several leaders. I have not fed them and still they...

I get very confused by raspberries! Mine have been fruiting for about a month now - it seems they overlap summer and autumn........so when should they be pruned??

Interesting, didn't know birds liked them too! I have quite a few geraniums but G. 'Johnson's Blue' is by far the most popular with bees here, another early flowerer but slightly later than the phaeum. Perovskia did well too, despite being a very young plant, until the Sedum spectabile flowered....

Thank you Caroline - I'll have a look at that and see if I can put my cellar to use !Thank you too John - your apology obviously worked

All mushrooms are edible...............some only once!!!!

I'm glad it was helpful to you @ridgiemum

Thank you....no juice yet.
