I was just going to say the same thing

Reminds me of the Pink Bunkadoo.

Had a few of the Plum tomoatoes over the last week cooked in the oven with a little salt and pepper, lovely........:D

I seem to remember when the autumn planting sets first came on sale the story was that they were heat treated which stopped them running to seed following winter.As to whether spring planting sets were heat treated at the time I dont know.

Now I understand abit more and will plant the "rounds" from my autumn planting for next year, although we have eaten some of them. My spring planted cloves are also "naked" ! So mixed results but we still eat them. I take it these don't keep so well?

Silly me I BET I don't do that one again.Yes I have grown in buckets and bags but it's too much of a chore and the yield is not as good as in the garden bed. The slugs that get into the spuds seem to be living below ground and not surface dwellers and therefore are, I think, unlikely to eat...

B.S. 792 ? No persons carrying chickens will be granted entry into the House of Lords ?

this is a handy web site i use how to make pickled onions - easy mine are done and staying sealed till xmas:party::party:

Seems that many people have had similar problems this year. Could be lack of feed as well as the more obvious lack of sunshine. I've had mixed results but far less good than last year.

Not had any mould problems this year myself on onions.I did not realise downy mildew affected the storing potential, I assumed it was a mould of the growing plant and if thoroughly dried might not be a problem. But I'm probably wrong.I always make sure the necks of the bulbs are totally dry...

Greetings tatty, I take it from your monicker you are nuts about spuds. Can't help specifically with your question, but you might get like to also post it in in the Edible Gardening section. Cheers.

Hi all, just joined and looking for a bit of advice. I've read numerous books and articles about pruning espaliers but I'm finding it really difficult to get a consensus of opion, particularly when to prune. I'm planning to prune main stem side shoots above the third leaf beyond the basal...

May is late to plant if barerooted when they went in , most probably that was the problem Spruce

Many thanks guys, this is the first year I have grown onions; I'll just enjoy them as they are :thumb:

I think we need to know the variety, some apples store better than others, in fact, I believe some should actually be stored before eating, the so called late varieties.I've picked a few cookers, (Arthur Turner), this morning bearing in mind the windy weather forecast, I'd have preferred to...

Organic Beetroot & Goats Cheese Salad with Walnuts | Organic Recipes Made this several times and everyone who's tried it says it's a winner. Run out of beetroot now:(.

OK, your on

Sorry to disappoint you but in North Italy temperature can yes reach -18 in winter , but in summer we got +40 , North Italy is really famous for the rice plantation , still didn`t manage to grow any rice over here. ps really raccomand Rome and Naples in May or September , as i`m from the Amalfi...

I was away for a few days when I saw this post, but waited until my return for a better response. Garlic (which supposedly evolved in poor soils) will grow OK in average soil, but you won't get great garlic - large bulbs. I add well rotted horse manure to beds at least one month prior to...
