Edible Gardening

No! Sorry miraflores but the first frost will kill the plant, plus daylengths are against you even if you brought it inside.

Hi guys I've decided that its time to upscale my potato growing as i haven't got the ground space i've opted for a different approach. Trying to find some juice syrup barrels so if anybody knows of a good supplier or any ideas where to try. Only need 2 as i'm growing 4 varieties next season....

I didn't like the Black Spanish Radish, but the seed pods were good in Stir fries. Daucus carota: From Wild Dark Carrot to Cultivated Orange Carrot

Swift are a first early and are ready to harvest from 8 weeks, planted in April..ready to lift in June. Mine where planted in March, lifted in May...none left in June.. Steve...

If you know anyone with a Redcurrant bush, just ask them for a few cuttings. You just strip the bottom 8", stick it in the ground in a quiet corner and let it get on with it. You'll have your own bushes next year to transplant where you want it.

Wine all over the keyboard again:D:D:D Its only one variety that has come up, something begining with M, Scrunge will know.

Luckily, I got my 30 pkts of Sungold seeds @ 20p each:Because they've now resticted orders to a max of 3 pkts/customer:I hope some others got in there quick before T&M set a limit.

I'm going to plant Marley's Elephants

Might try that next year, Miraflores.:D

How are the dragons getting on then.? My friend has a couple..

You always crack me up Melinda!!!

They won't need any more feeding over the winter.

That cool just thought that with the mild weather they may be early and as for pigeon we have resident doves using the garden so yes they have got plenty of cover although i may remove if we get a forecat of snow.

Luvvy, huggy in a dead arm sort of way Mint and Sage will be ok left outside, if you bring them in, they'll get too leggy.

Hi Alex-Adam & Pete. Thanks for the welcome. Yes, the garden is in the middle of a suburban estate. The entire plot is about 25ft x 35ft, surrounded on three sides by 6-foot-high wooden fences. The fourth side is the bungalow wall, with a 6ft wide paved patio in front. I'm situated in East...
