Edible Gardening

Sounds like a great idea; I've seen it done with ornamentals on a few programmes on tv; I'm no expert on building things so wouldn't know the correct way to go about reinforcing a roof, but surely a few extra beams and perhaps vertical supports in the shed should suffice for some...

It must be something in the water!! I'm not feeding them at all!!

Lack of water can do it but it could also be the variety you are growing. There is a new variety called Lettony that I think should be out for next season. It seems to be, currently, only on sale in America. We are trialling at the moment and it is quite sweet and grows very well.

They are wonderful plants - I grew some late last year but didn't get them potted up until late. This year I have got them in a big pot with canes in our conservatory. They are just starting curve around and climb.

Sounds like an adult vine weevil, which is bad news, the adult does little damage but it’s larvae will be chomping on the cucumber’s roots causing the damage you describe. The only treatment for an edible crop is nematodes – such as a product like this: Vine weevil, Nemasys nematode pest...

Well I never harvest my horseradish until the frost has killed the leaves off as you want to use a dormant root not a green growing one as they do not have the flavour of the dormant ones.. Dig them up in small clumps or individually, scrub them off & replant at least one new small root from...

my late dad used to also use the beetroot leaves (he was a really good cook) boil the leaves for a few minutes.... strain, squeeze fresh lemon juice, a good dollop of extra virgin olive oil, some salt (from a grinder) nd a good grinding of peppercorns you will be surprised .... tastes as...

Hi AshleeCould be the June drop (why its called June drop no idea ) mine seem to drop them in July.Its usualy when the tree has too many apples to feed.Trevor

Not much in it if I recal correctly. The Lady plot holder is a member here now I believe (I dont know what registration name she has used) so maybe she will see this and comment herself. Steve...

Should have posted a photo so here's one I made earlier......

Sounds like a good plan, even if those two sightings are not confirmed, the blight can not be far away now with all this wet.All my earlies are ready (foliage yellowed removed) and I just had a furtle in my maincrop and was surprised to find the first tuber I came to is 3 and a bit inches in...

Pros and cons of my set-up were discusssed here:

thanks to you all for your replys paul

Mildew problems here too.Rather annoying, plenty of breeze, and keep them watered and they should be okay, I'm giving up spraying them with anything to control it on mine.I've seen it on massive patches in market gardens before, but we just kept harvesting no problems like everyone has said.

Ripening will delay new fruits setting, so the choice is yours.I'd let a few ripen, but use them green from some of the plants, so as to keep the plants moving.

I grow Silverskin for pickling. Usually about 300 per season, which gives me 10 medium jars. They'll be up in about 2-3 weeks time when they're all roughly half a golf ball size. They need a minimum of 3 months in the jar before eating to ensure they're all pickled. Sarsons make pickling...

Also you can sow Lettuce, Spinach, Rocket, Radishes, Kale and Spring Greens now.
