Edible Gardening

Welcome to the forum It depends on how long they remain waterlogged, they will be OK for a few days.Any chance of digging a sump or allowing the water to drain off to a lower part of the garden?

I would go to poundland/poundstrechers/homebargains/wilcos or B and M Then buy some sets 75 for a pound, three different varieties available Mine have come on great, at present my FIRST SUCCESS (Better not count my chickens before they have hatched though) I have 150 planted normally, and...

Water from the base if possible (stand in a saucer of water for 10 minutes - don't forget them though, they won't like becoming water logged), rather than watering from above.

Thats the trouble with raspberries they need their own space. Its often a good idea to dig up the old stems and replant the more vigous parts every few years. I found that they very quickly get infected with virus which leads to smaller and less fruit. So a replant with new stock can quite...

It'll be in the same place for many years so dig in a bucket of well rotted manure or compost & some Blood, Fish & Bonemeal before planting. Then give it a dressing of high potash fertiliser every spring. Failing that, some wood ash & another handfull of B,F & B. You'll need to net it as the...

Hi Guys, I have some realy large and leafy spring cabbage which are just starting to heart up, but there is some type of mildew or soft rot attacking them, it starts anywhere on the leaves and spreads to the heart of the plant. It is wet and slimmy. Has anybody got an idea of what it is please

Thank you Jack, I shall watch out for some end of season deals on onion sets and give it a go

that is kind of you to say Jack you are a true gent, unfortunaitly we often do or see things in the line of work that we wish we didnt have to do

Common to get "mushrooms" of some sort from newspaper pots (or the glue in Loo-rolls if you use them for pots), just ignore them

Brilliant...thanks for all of that. I will leave well alone then...and continue to water as normal.

Now that's what I call comprehensive Dave! Thanks. I'll be more frugal with water from now on.

Cool , thanks every one.

Make sure this pipe from Scotland to England bypasses the north east please, we've got enough water. Back to the original point, if you're in a hurry, I'd just skim off the turf to one or two spade widths, then break up the exposed ground a bit, then put the seedlings in. What are the peas...

Anyone else before I give the rest to a local school? Steve...

Ahhhh, should be ok then Nice country, Croatia. I was there for a couple of days last year

You need one of these: The rootstock I’m using (Arnold F1) are thin straggly looking things both under growlights and on a sunny windowsill. They are worse under the growlights, the leaves are small with strange lumps/bumps, the lower leaves wither up and fall off, that has surprised...

Pigeons have been eating my chard for the first time ever this spring, so I now not only have to fence the rabbits out, but have to net over them. Must remember to plant them out in net size blocks rather than rows. I normally plant my rows blocks so some plants at the ends can be left to go...

Thanks for the tips

That Kiwi looks nice Ziggy , I never knew they were a climber as well.Hi Aesculus , think you will be lucky to get a cultivar type on a Supermarket cheapo plant. All the ones in Asda yesterday had exactly the same cultural instructions........"Water well before planting in full sun or partial...
