Hi Daisees, could you please specify what strength vinegar, and what proportion of vuinegar to water you use? thanks!

Tomato seed will last for several years, just make sure you keep them cool and dry and dark Having said that it's way too late in the year to start tomatoes from seed. Store them for next year and if you really want to grow your own this year you'll need to buy some plants (look on freecycle,...

how do you keep your cauli's white without tying the leaves over them ??

Thanks very much it still looks a strong plant the stems are still bright green I think its going to be ok. Im gonna buy a fleece thing off ebay lol. I only really have compost seeds and 2 hands tools and miracle gro im really amateur atm lol great site this! x

:D:D Just had to untangle one from the potato patch next to the beanpoles:DOH:

Yes JWK I do have some seeds left......they all look like dried peas. I think I'll throw them as they are a couple of years old and the germination rate wasn't brilliant (especially if they managed to transform themselves into sweetpeas lol!)

um.....no, but thanks anyway I was just interested coz there's often cucumber threads on the forum and its all down to the type indoor/outdoor/male flowers on/male flowers off I'm growing "Market more" its an outdoor ridge cucumber, I'm growing it indoors and outdoors just to hedge my bets, the...

Thanks guys; it appears to be the ones that tried flowering that are fading from green to yellow/brown so I think I'll have them out first and leave the others a little longer..:thumb:Oh and yes they were grown from sets..

Thanks for advice have clcosed the bag up.

Bridgend has 2 HUGE ***cos we only have a large shed in Port Talbot, have to go to Llansamlett

They are called bulbils/bulblets (they can also form on the scapes if left on) and can be re-planted to grow into garlic, but it will take a couple of years (round 1st year & bulbs 2nd year). If you leave them out of the ground for too long the skins will harden and make them less likely to...

Be careful, courgette porn can keep you awake at night!

Thanks for the advice. To be on the safe side I have binned the plant.

I've never heard of Feltham First doing that before. There only saving grace is that they are the earliest/quickest to mature variety from a really early sowing normally.

You could just put the stone in a polythene bag (the re-sealable type) with some damp vermiculite and put it in the airing cupboard or on a boiler; somewhere warm.Wait until they germinate and then pot them up and keep them somewhere warm and light but out of direct sunlight.I've done...

Looking good there Golfer

I had problems with mine as well, it seems it isn't just here in the NW where the potatoes have had a problem. :(

well, depends how big the holes and how many of them. If they're turning your potato plants into a sieve, I'd be a bit worried. Because as I said earlier on you need the green bit to photosynthesize and produce all the sugars that are to be stored in the tubers. Otherwise you'll only harvest...

use normal white cabbage, or even green there's no such thing as ukrainian cabbage like carrots or potatoes, they're ubiquitous

I'd agree with John there, mash it all up, put it the fridge and use it as a spread to keep double glazing salesmen at bay. Got a jar of it in my fridge, don't have to worry about it keeping as it gets used pretty quickly.
