Edible Gardening

I agree...I wouldn't use the grown bags in the first place. But re-using them seems a bit too much.

I think this is a lovely idea and in the light hearted spirit of the thing....if someone happens to grow a strawberry that looks like a love heart or a potato that's the image of Elvis..they can put up a photo and name the class, then see if there are any more entries out there! I might just...

From searching the GC forum it appears Shiney & SteveR have grown these, but as they were mentioned on an unrelated thread I'm starting a new one.They're promoted as being a good late season variety (I'm sowing Ferrari early & Safari for mid) so I'd be interested in anybody's experiences....

I think I read it wrong Neil. Seeing " famous for the minty smell of the leaves " I assumed they were using the leaves for salads, obviously I was mistaken.

Hi Ian, I think your beans are probably 'Pea-Bean' - have a look at this website which has an illustration. Some very interesting varieties listed!Some heritage vegetable varietiesPoletschka are pictured here:a-a

Hi Freddy I think Pete grows them cold under cover maybe a polly or glass house then into cold frames to harden off a bit then planted on later.cheers Mick

Hiya Ziggy.Yes, I remember it now :thumb:

I'm still harvesting cos lettuce growing in open ground.

Just to confirm that I won't be growing Crispus F1 again! Tried to eat the last decent few and they were so horrible! Also a friend who also grew them has said the same..

Excellent John, thanks for that. BTW, I was thinking Tomatoes anyway

Well once when I was trying to grow a record breaker:D, the word was, feed high nitrogen up until the longest day, then go over to high potash.Manure is great if you can get it, but I'm not sure I'd want it bearing in mind all the problems of contamination recently with weedkillers.I just...

Cheers Nobby, glad to help. I plant earlies in August as well, to get some new potaoes for Christmas.

nice one, big internet, but small world.

Hey Vince, Probably not worth doing at this time of year, but when I had a stray come up in some other stuff in the summer, I kept adding drainage collars and filling them with soil, rather than let the plant spread out & smother everything else. Bit of fun getting them out though.

I've never grown leeks in pots.

I'd agree with Trunky. I put all my Brug. cuttings/leaves in the compost and it seems safe. However, the scent from the colour purple is stunning!! LoL

I tried Sutherland last year. It seems to be okay, good flavour, and better to look at and harvest now there aren't so many pests around. I like the flavour, not too strong to my mind ie not bitter.

Hi YacoThe lower shoots are the trees way of expressing that it's not receiving all the water and nutrients that it needs. By putting out new basal shoots it's trying to trap more sunlight and photosynthesize more. They can be removed, carefully, so as to avoid causing any damage to the tree -...

Yes of course, there are many ways to disguise manipulation/s, but I dont think the image is manipulated, just that the seed packet is probably scanned, the resulting image from that scan was then poorly handled to produce the poor quality image of the toms. The colour of the fruits is...
