Edible Gardening

Thanks for that Marley! I have them in my poly tunnel and will train them up some fencing wire. Growing really quickly. Great tip to support the fruits when the time comes.

Thanks, I will give it a try then. I just planted in pots 20 or so cuttings and put them in one mini greenhouse, sheltered from direct light. Fingers crossed at least some will make it!

I could do but was frightened to harm all those lovely Red Worms. I dig out the nest and laid it on the path and picked out the Worms & put them back in the bin.

Oops! You are right Pete! My wife and I are chuckling at our error. Thanks for pointing this out. Take pity on us as we are new at the veg growing game!We grew courgettes from seed too and have obviously got the labelling mixed up. The courgettes we put straight into the garden have done ok...

Broad beans starting to crop nicely now:Variety 'De Monica', btw.

Picture taken today.Are you sure your Kiwi is definitely an arguta Issai, karaman?I am just wondering why your plant looks different to mine, in particular, the leaf stalk colour and the distribution of anthers in the flower (circular pattern in mine but randomly in yours).

@ricky101 See here for info Propagating Blackberries – Rooting Blackberries From Cuttings I've layered tips whenever I've needed to propagate a blackberry.

I put CDs around, plus a scarecrow. The scarecrow moves from tree to tree as the crops ripen, so the birds don't get used to him being in one place. It's worked so far this year

Great garden @Steve R !

Here's how the garlic turned out.Harvesting the garlic a month early because I needed the space.

Yea just too hot, thankfully my greenhouse is really old, missing several panes and the door wont close, so it doesnt get too hot in there anyway

Aww lovely pic @eddybaby here are my three 14 8 and 9 son mother and rescue

I noticed on the roof of my Plastic Grow houses there was condensation dripping down on my Toms, this could cause the burning when the Sun comes out. I now wipe the roofs.

I hope not too, but it is the way the stem is browning that is making me think that.. I just hope I am wrong..

A good idea Back in the days before I started growing my beans through black membrane I used to grow catch crops (mainly salad stuff) in the bean rows. It was always successful.

I decided against it in the end and have used a john innes instead, will just have to make sure I keep up with the watering

Hi thank you , we will follow your advice, hopefully they’ll flower again

Good suggestion Janet Companion planting is something I do here too

There are some raspberries that are grown in containers eg Raspberry Ruby Beauty - a Dwarf Summer Fruiting Raspberry grow bags are ok but leave it in the pot insome good compost I am growing my veg and fruits in containers and they doing well despite the weather
