Edible Gardening

Cant help much I'm afraid, but I'm thinking the problems might be more of pruning regarding the apples and pears rather than feeding. Pruning can be complicated and you need to know the variety.I think plums can become biennial bearing if not treated correctly also.I'm sure someone can put...

This guy's got bigger chillis than me :dh: YouTube - autumn veg garden

Give it a go and see what happens, Lolly. I've grow lots of veg in part shade. They don't do as well, but as long as there is decent light and some direct sun you should get a crop from most veg. The only things that aren't even worth trying are toms, chillis etc.

Hard luck Chris, I have had the same disappointing results as Alice even growing them in a greenhouse, I've tried three or four times over the years - but always failed. I think this year is bad for grey moulds, in the garden - too much rain and not enough sun.

I had a good crop of Bunyards exhibition but pollinated them with a paint brush. This year I saw plenty of Bees but the dry spell just messed it all up. My Aquadulce Claudia were great too but I really had to put the work in this year to make sure they were pollinated

Na these leaves have just photosynthasised and are are dying off as all wild brassicas do.

Thanks WOO!

:rotfl: Very good!

When one or two start to change the rest follow. What I have been doing is keeping a red one on until another starts changing to take over the red one. As mention in another thread be careful with bananas since you can end up with too many ripe tomatoes at once. I thought I was going to need to...

I've not tried dehydrating physalis Pete, but going by what we have dried I'd guess the results would be pretty much the same as supermarket dried fruit. They'll almost certainly taste sweeter as the sugar content is more concentrated than when fresh and full of water.

Been doing a pickle of mine YouTube- Prince - Little Red Corvette Just tried it, not bad at all. Better than the raw product. Asked Mrs Becky if she wanted to try some, she said she'd already eaten an entire jar that she'd found in the fridge. Can't be that bad then.

Hi Rich, No worries, always good to see people getting into growing stuff.:tnp: You buy seed potatoes in the spring, these are less likely to suffer from disease than just growing spuds from the supermarket. Dig a trench about 6inches deep, the earth from the trench goes at the side, you...

Hi Dave, no, once the bulb is broken into cloves just plant them. Don't soak or peel.

:gnthb: Well good to hear you have made a good recovery from everything Vince, you will give them a run for their money next year with your onions for sure.. As for the rest sounding promising & eating your 1st cauli tonight seems a nice little bit of pleasure... :yho:

They're delicious! Made tomato chutney yesterday and soup today. More tomatos than I know what to do with

Hmmm, I'd suggest a severe case of blossom end rot, how regularly do you water them? Have they got dry at any point?It's the closest match from this list of tomato troubles:

I live in the UK and have three mini red pepper plants growing inside on my windowsills in different pots. They are all bearing fruit, and all in the same compost. Two are fine. One looks sad :( It was fine until a bit ago, now its leaves go like so: 1) They curl up from the edges 2) Go...

It depends what you're growing them in, I always found it a problem in grow bags, you cant water them properly and the roots tend to cook.True its not ideal to be adding lime at this late stage, but it might help.

Indoor,Outdoor varieties? I was harvesting a good two weeks from "glasshouse" tomatoes planted outside before any of the same growing in my greenhouse! I don't distinguish between glasshouse and outdoor varieties, with our climate it's just not worth it. Plant some in and plant some out, works...

I've never grown Onions before... well I have got Spring Onions in my veggie planter and they're doing well. I have just aquired some Japanese and White Onion sets... exact variety un known and I want to have a go at planting these. I will be planting these in containers so yes I know my...
