Edible Gardening

Thanks John, will do. Brian :thumb:

Some of the leaves on some of my beans are turning yellow. I grew far too many plants initially, ran out of garden and stuck the remaining dozen or so in troughs and pots on a 'bung them in and see' basis. Mine (in the tubs) are turning yellow because I seldom remember to feed them.

Thank you everyone for this - great advice frm you all Logi

Hi Shiney, sounds like hoverflys, hold your finger up near one, if it hovers & has a look at your finger then yes. Very good for aphids, the larvae eat loads of em.

My PS Broccoli are both 2 foot tall and 6 inches tall! Some of the original sowing got removed - by birds, I assume. So I sowed some more. Looks like I shall have PSB for weeks! Yippeee!

They are only been in a couple of years.

Shobna...I love the hairy bits too lol :D

:lollol: What..!!! You mean you don't like them Hot then Sven...!!! :rotfl:

I grew 2 bags of "charlottes" this year and emptied the first bag this morning,what a waste of good compost they were !. 6 spuds the largest about a tennis ball down to marbles.I planted some others that had sprouted ,variety unknown, and tipped a bag out last week and there was loads in...

That's what I like to hear John, thankyou for answering my question.Hope you and yours are all well.

I would love to see a pic too, of the seeds.

lol I don't like spicy foods so no chilli!

Hi Liz, a Truss is a bunch of the yellow tomato flowers :thumb:

I know what you mean, Liz. Purple Milan is quite a strong flavoured turnip even if you pick 'em young, I find. Try it mashed with carrot and a bit of butter with your Sunday roast. Or perhaps try a different variety. 'Snowball', or 'Oasis'.

Well done Ciryluk. Aubergines are really tricky. I tried for years and got nothing but flowers. Last year I got 2 big whoppers but I'm not growing them anymore. All that space and work for 2 aubergines is not worth it. I think I just wanted to prove I could grow them. Enjoy your bumper crop and...

Agreed, doesn't sound like blight. I've lost my outdoor toms to blight for the last two years, and I have the Bordeaux Mixture ready and waiting. If I get an incline that it's in my area, then I guess I'll have to apply it, but for now I'm holding off. My outdoor toms are actually cropping ! ...

Hi Shobhna, Make sure its fine netting as i've watched the small babbage whites circle above inch square netting, when they've seen a gap big enough, they close there wings & just drop straight thru. I look round the veg section in tescos, check the price of water cress & then go and pick it...

My kelvendon Wonder only grow about 3 feet high so I think maybe your peas have been wrongly packed.

Well, new leaves and buds continue to grow and I've had my first open flower today, hooray! The stem didn't heal totally up as I first imagined it would if it survived, but if it's happy enough to flower then it's certainly not ruined. The "pruning" didn't appear to do any harm either; if...
