Edible Gardening

Thank you, that's good to know, especially when some of them take a couple of years to produce fruit.The rasps are coming out, I tried one and they're horrible but by the sound of it they'll continue springing up all over the place even if I dig them out?

Next month I am taking delivery of the following1 x Blackberry 2 x Raspberry 2 x Redcurrant 2 x Blackcurrant 1 x Gooseberry 1 x Tayberry 12 x Strawberry 2 x Rhubarb plantsIs there any way i should prepare the ground for them.I will be planting them in my back garden which is...

I am in Liverpool, have put them on a south facing window, woke up to find a second chilli on one plant so that is three chillis so far, would be nice to keep them alive over winter.ThanksDebbie

Thanks Ziggy, I must say since restarting my gardening again, it is surprizing how many veg there are now that relate to cellery.

Apparently this is nothing more than a gardening myth. Tests done by some lab or other ( can't recall the name ) proved that tomatoes require warmth to ripen, but not sunlight... in fact direct sunlight can cause scorching ( sunscald ), so even a windowsill is a bit risky.About 75% of the toms...

Welcome WP, yes you can use those beans for new plants next year. Remove them from the pods and store in an envelope, label it and keep till next spring when you can sow them. Steve...

Hi, has anybody tried growing pra variety "Pea Dorian" or another name "Mr Big" seem a lot of places sell the seed but I have not heard of them myself.

we cleared the lawn of all the scanking ones a few days ago to have a BBQ......while we sat chatting (and watching our heads....BBQ is under the apple tree and man are these apples lethal when they drop....haha) i picked up the freshly dropped ones and made my 1st ever apple pie.....it was...

Heya all,so sorry to sound like a complete noob but I was just wondering if I got this thread right. So the plants like trefoil are planted after the last harvest before the winter and will grow until next spring. Then when I want to use the bed again I can simply turn the soil with the plants...

Don't think i've got any Nutterbutt Squashes either, though I can't get to the plant for Giant Pumpkins yet. Will leave the rest of the Sweetcorn to dry on the plant & then try making popcorn with it. Which probably wont work

I admit that I'm a chilli head . Jalapenos are just sweet peppers as far as I'm concerned . Our favourite chilli that we grow has been identified at chilli festivals as looking very much like a short Tabasco (about half to one inch) but they all agree that it's hotter than Scotch Bonnet. I...

Gorgeous.

Saw a program on the telly where a guy who is famous for his allotment in Yorkshire, only grows carrots in tubs off the ground to avoid carrot fly, he pulled some huge carrots out to show and has won many prizes.

Ooh lucky you Eddie.. As everyone says they will be fine if left in the ground, but they will have that lovely sweet flavour after the frosts too..! :D

I grow Scarlet Emperor runner beans for the flowers,i don't eat the beans myself...don't like them..but every one in the nieghbourhood does which is a good job as there are loads of them.They are still flowering like mad and look great I saw Shineys thread and thought the pyramids looked great...

ok, no worries. thanks

Is that youre pea having a happy dance Spruce

thank you JWK there have all ready been destroyed in the fire:yess:

Hey Victoria, You'll need to graft a fruiting lemon onto the rootstock you grow, otherwise it could be 20 years before it flowers, if it ever does at all.

Hiya John. I grew San Marzano last year. I didn't like them much, even when cooked. Also, they didn't ripen very evenly. Please bear in mind, Rosada are quite a bit smaller than San Marzano, but I've never tasted a better one when cooked Cheers...Freddy.
