Edible Gardening

Only thing I know is that you need to get the netting off before first snowfall of the Winter, otherwise the weight will collapse it. Had that happen to the, very expensive, one that my parents erected. I just chuck some Scaffolder's Debris Netting over mine - supporting it on a few posts with...

It takes a few weeks for Potatoes in bags to get above soil level (if you add compost to the bag as they grow and "peak" out). So they could be in utility room / frost free garage during that time, and won't need light until the bag is full of compost and the shoots then appear. Putting them...

Thanks both so much. This gardening thing is like a fun science project ....

Still have Leeks, Parsnip and Parsly in my ground to harvest yet. Trevor

I grow chilli called 'fiesta'. It is quite hot and produces lots of little fruits in colours of creamy, purple and orange, matures to red. If grown in the ground in the greenhouse it can reach 2-3 foot tall, but in a pot it stays neat and conpact, very easy to handle.This one is about to...

As Marley other half arrives home late "dinner is in the bin" Spruce

Leave it for a week for the spray to do it's job.

Thankyou Freddy, I must admit its been a long time since I grew any. I think you are right, yes, used to pinch out the tops to get rid of the blackfly once some of the flowers had set. Not sure where I was coming from there. I know I used to end up with about three stems per plant, I guess...

thankyou for repkies, leave to the end of season then harvest,hopefully not much slug/pest damage,i have plans for that space, many thanks

They certainly make a stunning statement in the border

Yup There are some nice Open Pollinated heritage varieties ... but ... they are long-season varieties, so if you don't get a good summer, or live Op'North, you may not get any fruit at all. Whereas there are F1 varieties that are bred to crop more quickly, that will give you fruit. However, I...

As I mentioned in an other thread I use the progress of my spring bulbs as a guide, and this year they are three to four weeks later than the last few years.Don't know what to expect from now on, as they are buried under a foot of snow and there is no sign of a thaw.As for the weather; Last...

Lovely, thanks for the heads up, I'll give them a drop of water asap!

Looks like some sort of climbing plant, did you sow the seed yourself ? And do you have anymore of the seeds left, maybe if you do have any left you could post a pic o the seed and one of the more advanced guys and put a name to it!

Well I certainly don't want to stop you there are definitely some upsides too.

Benefit of grafted Tomatoes is generally that as a Greenhouse crop they are more disease tolerant, and as such you don't have to change the soil in the greenhouse. If that isn't an issue for you (growing in containers, or not growing in greenhouse soil) then I think the Hype about increased...

You won't get a meal off a single Raspberry cane, you need several (and if you get any fruit in the first year its a bonus)

If I made u guys some jam you'd love it its not hot it's like eating jalapeños... Well a little hotter

I ended up putting them in a jar with wet tissue, 4 inches away from my computer fan.
