Edible Gardening

Thanks for the advice.As i recall the tubers were quite large this year when i potted them up.I think i will do as you suggest and overwinter them in their pots this year and see what happens.

I voted for number 4

They look to be coming along nicely. I'm a huge fan of radishes...perhaps I'll give growing them a shot!

Cheers Freddy. A trip to B & Q it is then.

Thank you all, the blade of the spade shall be put to good use this weekend and I shall put the matches away :WINK1:

Take a look at the canes - those which are brown (and on which the leaves are dying or have died), will be those which fruited this year and these are the ones you need to cut back to about 2" above ground level. The rest - those with green stems - should be left alone, tie them to canes and...

Tomatoes in their natural environment are indeed (short lived) perennials, but to be honest, in this country its not worth trying to overwinter them. One of the reasons is, apart from the warmth requirments, the day length. In central or south America, where they originated the day length...

Thanks everyone for your help. The fruit is off a bush so it looks like it is a Japanese quince!

I planted my left over onion sets in seed trays this year and packed them quite close to each other and when the leaves withered away at the end of the summer they'd grown in to lovely little onions just short of the size of a golf ball :thumb:

I bought 1 of those plastic clip together cold frames :D,when I brought out my outdoor toms I stood them all inside, and then last winter stood all my outdoor plants in and that helped them through the winter.:WINK1:

My pleasure Caz, When you do prune them, stick the branches in the ground, they root very easily. Then you'll have more bushes.

Sorry I couldn't have been of more help BB, maybe someone else might have some ideas. Don't listen to Clare this evening though

Thanks :D , Guess there might still be a chance of it growing. I shall update if it does :D

I don't know this from experience, but I've read in many different sources that carrots hate rich soil, especially recently manured soil.I grew some turnips and radish in freshly manured soil. Both had plenty of top side growth but no bulbous roots.My money would be on the soil being too...

You can grow them on rye grains. You sterilise the rye in mason jars, in a pressure cooker for around 30min. Add the spores to a water solution and inject this into the rye. Leave in a humid place. Those plastic greenhouses, indoors work well..

Hi Trunky,I have already told Mr Kandy that when he prepares the next Squashs for cooking to save me some of the seeds so when I have dried them off I can send you some,but as I have said the label just said Butternut Squash but the fruit looks identical to the Big Dig ones we grew last...
