Edible Gardening

Sow in a pot, transplant to modules then plant out later, I've tried direct sown and it does not work for me.Sorry for late reply, I have been away.Steve...

Here is the reply I got:The above reply was very fast, I have pestered them again but with no further responses.

I do my beans the same way as I do sweet peas.3/4 fill root trainer with compost, soak well then top off with dry compost, plant seed into dry compost then do not water until you have germination. Capillary action draws water into the dry compost to soak gently then germinate the seed. Cover...

As the plum is a subspecies of the damson, you would be able to tell what it is when it produces fruit.Damsons are rounded-oval and have a fruit-cheek. Plums are oblong and smaller than damsons. They don’t ripen after picking in contrast to the damson.

I would wait until fruiting is over....prob August time. Keep well watered but the weather will still be warm and the new root growth made then will help establish the plants for next spring

@Logan I got the seed from Ebay so it may not even grow . There are no instructions either

@Jimb0b I am going to try courgettes in with my asparagus this year..

Thanks both that’s brilliant

I get better results for Cauli by using a propagator, all other brassicas do ok in the greenhouse in pots. I sow using 5 inch pots. Seed trays can dry out quicker this time of year if your out for the day and it is sunny. Last year I sowed direct into my polytunnel beds, and they did very well...

@nikirushka .Well I now grow a lot go my veg for 2 in my poly tunnel which measures 27' x 15'.. I also have an 8 x 6 greenhouse for tomatoes & chillis.. 4 large raised beds as well as various large pots and containers and every year I run out of space.. I though it would be loads of space but...

Does anybody put grass cuttings in the bag?

Not sure about growmore never really tried keeping that overwinter, personally I wouldn't bother.Other straight fertilizers, ie. sulphate of potash and Ammonium sulphate do attract moisture, as does the likes of miracle grow etc. so if I have any of those left at the end of the season I...

No mate, MM= Money Maker ( from the first post )

Was going to put mine in after putting my spuds in but only managed one bed of spuds then the sky opened so went back in the greenhouse and potted up my tomatoes will get the onions in ASAP

I've got Early Onward in 24x size cell tray modules (cut into blocks of 6 cells) germinating in my heated greenhouse. I've got them in heated propagators and they'll come of it as soon as they start sprouting (cutting into smaller sections helps with this) then go into a polytunnel.I might end...

As well as cauliflowers other brassicas such as swede benefit from boron, as it is a trace element you don't need a lot of it. I use a sprinkle of borax every other year on the winter brassicas, helps to give tight brussels. It can also be found in products like Miracle Gro and Phostrogen. You...

Well, last year we dug two new veg beds. When hubby gets round to helping me bring the big planks up from the bottom of the garden, they will be raised beds. But at the moment they are dug out about 3 foot, filled with horse manure and home made compost .We love butternut squash; I compost as...

@Linz we hung sweetcorn from a middle tree a few years back to stop the squirrels eating the bird food...they love them mate

Err No Scrugee, keeping the bog roll outer's safe, maybe next year, if Carol turns a blind eye, I'll go for HOT!

That's the best route @"M" but it comes to something don't you think
