Edible Gardening

Thanks Kristen Will endeavour to get them sown tomorrow.

Not invasive, no. Mine pushed itself half way out of the ground, and grew the other half of its root into the ground.

Ah, I get it now!

I usually grow Stuttgart from sets and they are normal sized (around 4" diameter), they store well and have a flat bottom, that's as much as I know.

I don't like the job of making a salad, but I can't possibly let the lovely endive out there go to waste. Sown 25/8 last year, no protection whatsoever, it has stood happily throughout the winter. I have been picking leaves from it regularly to add cold-weather salads, and still it is...

I checked today and it's not bleeding. So I won't have to rush round applying tourniquets to all the stumps.

Pickled beetroot ,yes please love it.Also beetroot steaks roasted (boiled beetroot,them cut into steaks coated in breadcrumbs ,ooooooooo. Beetroot also makes a very good red wine with ginger.

Garden Pearl is a good one for hydroponics and limited space as it stays low. You`ll need to raise the light for single stem toms to prevent burning the tops.

I was just about to go and buy some of this netting the weekend just gone and then forgot to. Low and behold I found more than enough debris netting in my shed to cover my screens.Then yesterday I noticed my neighbour having a clear out and then ask if she wanted these. Turns out they fit my...

Zig, I really don't think the brick contraption would fit in with the rest of the garden as the rhubarb patch is pretty much worked into flowers and herbs, but the willow hurdle might just be the idea, if I can source the material. Never done hurdling (is that the word?) before but love to have...

If your last potato crop was grown in bags was infected with blight then you should be able to kill off any remaining nasties by soaking them in a solution consisting of 10% cheap/'Value' bleach and 90% water. Or just buy new 'rubble bags' from a DIY shed, or re-use ex-compost bags.

Nice one! Good luck at the Boot Fair this weekend

That's how I use to grow carrots when I was showing.40 gallon oil drum with the bottom and top knocked out,fill with sharp sand,then get a iron piece of pipe and push it right to the bottom then turn the pipe round and round to form a tapered hole,fill with fine compost and sow 3/4 seeds per...

Good website.

Our local Sainsbury's sells them.

funnily it is the MIL and the husband that has struggled with the coloured ones the kids seem to love the treasure hunt of which one they got i have even seen them swapping or different colours saying they like purple / red ones better

Autumn would have been better, time is a bit short to establish them this year before flowering & fruiting (I think conventional advice is that for Spring planting remove flowers to prevent fruiting, in order to favour plant development, in the first year - the exception being if you buy in...

They've come directly from the bought fruit! I hope they will be OK.

If you vent it on sunny days, so it doesn't get too hot, then should be fine I reckon
