Edible Gardening

Guys , cheaper by cheaper try also QD , wilkinson and B&M .

I found a lamb which unfortunatly was the same as the 2 legged horse that Dim posted:(

As we haven't had any rain since our massive storm on 24 October and the weather continues to be mild, flowers normally having a rest are blooming. In particular, my Oranges & Lemons. I picked a bloom and a bud for the kitchen on the 1st as they are so headily scented and wasted at the end of...

Yep, dead easy.I've done soft-tip cuttings in spring/early summer, semi-ripe in summer/autumn, and hardwood in autumn/winter, and they've all worked.

Yes, I find I get much more yield off runners than french beans, runner plants always seem bigger and more robust. Picking them becomes a chore. French beans are notionally quicker to prepare for eating. (top / tail and put them in the pot). However, I've got a nifty bean slicer that takes...

they usually advise them to be grown fan trained, rather than with horizontal spurs. I guess some fruit trees (like apples) can get away with having the phloem and xylem horizontal, whereas others (like peaches) need a more 'natural' gradient. I did try growing a fan trained nectarine,but it...

Well I'm sticking with "Big Boy", "Delicious" and ROGUE "gardeners delight" !!!!Seriously, banning the girls from the greenhouse this year after the havoc they inflicted last year swapping plant labels :(

I tried a red variety last year too, the ones the slugs didn't eat have just been sucked to death by greenfly My White Lisbon are still going strong though.

I recon that too

About three years for mine, but no problems with slugs as the bed was right next to the pond and I would often find a frog or two in the bed. Blackbirds on the other hand are a different story.

You can leave for a while but the wind will only knock all the old stems down , plus the empty stems can act like a down pipe with all the rain going to the heart of the plant and a place for slugs and snails to hibernate over the winter and personaly thats why I cut down and mulch the top when...

MrM, leave them there until New Year, they should be fine.:thumb: Failing that, start grovelling and supplying lots of sweets.:D:D:thumb:

Have a look at this thread

Thanks for the hints guys that will be going in at the weekend. The stalk was already there when it was delivered.

You could freeze the turnips and carrots, pickle the beetroot and eat the rest.:D

Great idea Ziggy. Cover it with a black bin bag until they sprout - it will increase the absorption of heat. The tubers don't need light until the leaves form and even if you only get a few tiny spuds it's worth a try!

Guys I can`t really remember 2000 or 20000 , I was a kid at the time , my grandad done for 2/3 years , but he didn`t make much money out of it , the factory was only buy the right quantity and at the price they where given to you.....he actually realised that growing tabacco was more...

Grown outside Steve, but under enviromesh which probably helps moderate extremes in the weather as well as keeping bugs off.

Now that i`m thinking about , the kiwi berry it`s even more original to grow, if you decide to grow them from seeds let me know if you have any spare seed they are really easy to germinate , in case let me know I will try to get some cutting for you , also I`m trying to grow passion fruit ( the...
