Edible Gardening

Belissimo

Wow sounds like you manage to get a fair amount in then lol :D

Loli very nice I bet the chucks want to have a look around given the chance Spruce

Probably worth protecting (cloche or fleece) this time of year. The time that the ground is frosty is very short, so surviveable (perhaps with a bit of help) I reckon that dahlias don't get blackened by a light frost, and will carry on for a while. Perhaps applies to other tender plants too...

You could substitute red wine vinegar and stock/water. Once slow cooked, your son may not even realise he is eating an "onion", you could call them "edible sweet bulbs" or somesuch. (Mr Mum was a notorious 'fussy' eater - boarding on obsessively so - and over time I have fooled re-educated his...

Errmmm, courgettes, abundance, and not a solar flare in the garden. will freeze a few just in case!

ordered one from T&M, Brown Turkey, has arrived and replanted in a slightly bigger pot and will over winter before I put it out next year, as it was not a very large plant. I absolutely lurve figs, fresh, dried, jam and chutney. My late father bought a load of whips over from Italy a few years...

That was my thinking too. This year has been almost a write off! Think I'll clear them and get on with soil improving

You could delay planting a bit longer, store them in the fridge rather than the freezer. Or plant in pots / modules and transplant later - outside will be fine for them.

It's a super, duper deal Scrungee. I'm saving a really really ripe Grade A one. Then I'm gonna prepare it properly with the 3 day soak etc. Will PM you when it's all sorted, thanks Jenny

Thats a great idea thanks

Hi, that's not bad. However, i have just bought 2 x 50 sets of Radar onion from the telegraph garden shop @ £1.79 each and also 3 garlic bulbs from Wilki's for £2.00. Grand total of £5.58.

I have the same thing on 1 of my tomatoe plants, and I think it is blight, but, blight wouldn't infect 1 plant and mine is not effecting the stems at the moment as I would expect it to. Usually blight wipes out a crop very quickly. So the jury is out.

Hiya Scrunge, some good points there. Probably my main issue with these is that they don't keep very well. I remember trying some a few years back, and they didn't last at all, indeed, I had to throw most of them away. Another issue I have is that space is at a premium for me, so I can't...

I suggest that, when they have stopped producing, you burn everything - just in case. I always do that - making sure that every leaf is cleared from the ground.

Great advice again. Thanks!!!

I buy from this website quite a bit.They have decent stuff and fairly good prices. It's worth having a look every now and then to check out their sale and clearance items. I've never ordered their plants though.

Simply put, they are ring culture pots with their own reservoir. I've used ring culture before and it involves putting the ring atop the bag over the plant then filling with compost, this extends the ammount of plant stem that is in soil. The tom plants will then grow more roots out of this...

Good morning all my friends many thanks for all your lovely replies,don,t know how I missed your kind replies,I think its all the roses that's filling my head 24/7
