Edible Gardening

You could always grow stuff in containers, which you can put in the part of the garden which gets the most sun. Have a look here for some ideas. Have a look at the Edible Garden forum as well.

Cheers Becks Hmm might give one a bash...

I read on this forum that its best (faster) to seed them in pots in the greenhouse or window sill then plant them out in clumps, I'd already seeded mine last year when I read that, but this year I'm gonna seed them in plastic mushroom boxs coz they look an ok debth and are square, therefore the...

If it's a single shoot it should develop into a bulb of garlic (unless it's a bulbil from Elephant Garlic, which will first grow into a round, then a bulb the year after). If they're in a location where they can grow on, I'll leave them where they are, and if there's more than one I'll carefully...

Do you pay a celery - or is it on a commission basis only?

Well I have had the same patch down the back garden for err err 1971 42 years, and it has only doubled from six half inch sized sticks per crown to ten 1.5" sticks per crown, and the spread is from half a square meter to a square meter I have done nothing too it other than crop it and give it...

My guess is too cold or too warm. Its still very early, so without special conditions, heating and lighting, things will struggle.

Always do a bean test before using manure, especially if you do not know it's origin. Testing For Aminopyralid in Manure Steve...

Bast,I have grown collies on our alottment. Dig in plenty OLD rotted manure in winter sometime before planting, water well all through the growing season.As soon as you spot the first sign of a head cover it against the light. We used paper bags.

Some lovely ideas there for me Thanks

Good idea:

First 2 rows of Rocket spuds in small side bed,another 4 rows to go in next couple of days. Would have had more done but been busy making some new staging and replacing the soffit and fascia on the house. Noticed how dry the garden is,will need the hose pipe out if it dont rain soon,especially...

I never knew that !!! and 10 mins boiling a french bean will render it inedible !!! I never cook mine for long because I like them crunchy, surely there would be a warning on the packet if they were toxic !!! I know that kidney beans are toxic before cooking but a lot of beans are best nearly...

My pleasure, good luck growing them :thumb:

If the manure was well rotted (i.e it looks nice and dark and crumbly and you can't make out any of the original material) then your veggies will do really well in it.

Thank you, Kristen and John. Whew, your advice is a relief! Keeping everything together will really make my life easier, especially as I'm going to plant new veg this year and I've no idea what the seedlings will look like!

Thanks for the replies I have bought king edwards, pink for apple, duke of York and Maris bard for a bag I grow in.Dave

Morning MrMorgan . They have got a little tall, perhaps due to poor light. I would just put them outside in a very sheltered place for a few days just to harden then off a while . Then plant them out . If you don't have a lot you could give them a little protect with some fleece for a little...

Yeah, they've got their Stomata firmly closed and are basking in the sunshine. Wouldn't you if you were in their place? !!

Bilberries grow very well just down the road from where I live - surely that means blueberries will be okay too?
