Edible Gardening

No worries, can't find any info that suggests it would make them bad to eat, just don't replant them & move to a different patch for spuds next year incase its the viral version. I see another cause could be calcium deficiency, difficult to balance out as too much encourages potato scab

Brilliant, I never thought of Nickeys as I've not used before. The ones from the states worked out far to expensive if they would even posted them. Thanks again

Ah Thank you! I do plan on getting a few raised beds for raspberries and blackberries, im setting out veg and fruit that I actually like, too much temptation to try all when really I will just bother with what i really like ha! Its all a little daunting with planting out fruiting plants, I...

My grandfather used to spend hours pickling shallots that he'd grown. He used the large sweet jars that were around when I was knee high.

Definitely a bad year for us, now they have started to go mushy and droop.

Depending on how much the pigeons have left, re-net and they could well recover.

Looking good Carl. Still not got round to doing mine yet.Rusty

Elsanta I think. Reasonable crop, picked every 3-4 days for 3 weeks or so. Watering daily essential and netting to stop the blackbird raids. Tasted delicious much better than shop bought! I can't sem to upload a photo at the moment, wiil try when I have more time.

I have placed it on the end of my desk , so it gets the warmth and light but is out of the window "cold zone". It now has two chances !

Hmmm, now we have another something to think about ...

Does that come in a different shaped bottle?

Heres a little inspiration from the conservatory @ Bellagio in Vegas:-- 1,284 lb-- 995 lb-- (missed the weight)-- all guarded by a mildy scary talking tree, with strangely implausible giant grapes growing on the branches.

Thats put a wonderfull picture in my head Kris I've noticed you only see Wood Pigeons in pairs during the summer, but they form groups of hundreds in the winter, maybe thats why

Hi there. I came across this website Dunno if there's anything of interest to you?

Me too. Trouble is sometimes we don't get one until well into December, and I have plenty of Parsnips to eat ... perhaps I'll chance digging up some of my Gladiator

Thanks John. I am planning to get mine from AshridgeTrees - I buy a lot of plants (Trees / hedge plants) from them each year and have always been impressed with the quality, and they do a large range of Apples / Pears - £15 each for bare-rooted Maidens (much the same as your nursery [catalogue...
