Edible Gardening

again thank you all very much for the info you have provided me, valuble infomation which will be taken in, thanks again.

The man likes Garlic!

Garden pearl are good for baskets and small containers. I fnd tumbling tom are more susceptable to insect attack and not quite as sweet. I had a reasonably harvest last year from outdoor GP even though the weather was rubbish. It`d be worth planting some of each to see which does better.

Fine I reckon, panic over!

Supermarket herbs have been force grown. Sown too densely and kept to warm and moist and not enough light, in order to produce rapid tender growth. Maximum output for minimum time = maximum profit. Its why supermarket herbs just don't even come close to the texture and flavour of ones raised...

I tried the garlic beer from the Isle of Wight once - it was big time!!!!! Even the Dads at rugby wouldnt drink it!!!!

Little red pepper maybe 1/2" long full of seeds and pretty hot

Thats so thoughtful and funny grannie Annie bless xxx

I love strawberries but found the strawberries I grew last year tasted awful. Then again I like my Strawberries really soft and a bit "off". Perhaps they're too fresh for me.

I'm trying "Emelia" this year, my first attempt at growing spinach so watch this space!

Yes will do. In theory they should do well

Earlier if growing for show/size. March is fine, sow seed in a John Innes type seed sowing compost, keep it damp NOT wet! I sow into seed trays then prick out at the "crook" stage into modules or individual pots, the choice is yours! Good luck

hello! Im growing similar veggies to you, most in raised beds thouth. Kirsten what a great idea with the buckets! I have to ask at my local Asda.

i tried carrots in containers once, when i dug them up they were all weird funky shapes...one looked like a creepy little man, legs & arms and all lol

I have a grapevine (Madeleine Sylvaner) that I've pruned into a t-shape, i.e. a main stem about 2 feet tall with two permanent arms around 6-8 feet long at that level. I have left on a couple of long new growths from the bottom, a couple going sideways from the top of the trunk and one from the...

Might try them in bog rolls then... ta chaps!

I'd treat it more like a hydroponic set up, as the nutrient will quickly run out in a shallow gutter. Make sure you feed regularly with the watering Otherwise, sounds great, it'll keep the strawberries from getting mucky too.

Or lay a few course of bricks in lieu of using a gravel board for that section of fence, so they can be cut and fitted around the trunk (leaving some room for future growth) using some that match the colour of the concrete gravel board, or even a combination of cut gravel boards with brick...

Thanks for the info shiney

Guess what? - Postie's just been and we've got yet another £5 T&M voucher! P.S. Don't mistake "£5 off + Free P&P when you spend over £60" on the front of the catalogue as having to spend over £60 to get both - the £5 off doesn't require any minimum spend (only the free P&P).
