Edible Gardening

I did consider moving it, but now that all the foliage around it has been cleared, I don’t think the position is too bad. Time will tell, of course. Seems a shame to replace it - I’d like to give it a chance after it’s battled the clematis for who-knows-how-long!

Too exotic for me but this guy has a clue or three;;;

the red flowered ones are hybrids with another genus, potentilla, or descendents of those hybrids, and are not as good at making fruits. They do still set but are more fragile

I grow cultivated Rocket(from realseeds) and rarely have any problem with germination (of any of their seed). Can agree that it is prone to flowering at the slightest hot period, and being a brassica, attractive to cabbage whites, so needs netting. It readily sets seed and these too germinate...

Tried them outside, and nothing. I discovered that for some odd reason the anthers weren't shedding pollen. They would form the anthers, nothing further.So I ended up binning the plantsDoubt I will give it another go next summer.

There must be a plentiful supply nowadays because I hardly go anywhere without getting a massive waft of it. It seems so common that no one cares to hide the fact. Until recently there were stickers on local lamp posts where you could scan the qr and order it.I think it's a nice looking plant...

We have plenty of those in the local woods as well. I've seen fruit, very sparsely fruited though, on them twice in memory. Once about 5 years ago and a few this year. I don't think they even flower most of the time.

There is perhaps signs of hope ...

I sowed some turnips in modules and they are ready to plant out but are a bit leggy/floppy. Do you think I should plant them more deeply or leave them at the same level? Any experience?

Good luck.

Zingiber chrysanthemum foliage.This is in a 20 l pot and over winter may well go up to 25 l plus a chunk for trial in the garden.

I manually pollinate them if I can. The aborted squashes are edible provided they arent rotting yet, they can have a strange flavour though. Not bad but strange.

Possibly has come the long way; they sucker I think !

Ok, yes I'll wait, but I dont want to be ill over Christmas.

Well, this is west wales, so until this year, it definitely hasn't struggled for water. I don’t think it’s nutrients either, but I will assume it’s that. Thank you.

Peaches can be kept small fairly easily so putting it in the ground isnt difficult if there is SOME space. They are similar to european plums in that they are happy to form bushes rather than trees, though they dont sucker like european plums do.Otherwise a 100L pot is really the minimum.

Hi everyoneas many of you will know I have two raised beds from Harrod Horticulture bought this year , I have had a good crop of strawberries, carrots, beetroot , onions and lettuce.I have seen young leek plants on line as I missed the planting time in the spring..any one else planted...

To be pedantic, this should be called Oxalis or Wood Sorrel, as "Sorrel" is a very different plant: A type of dock, with the typical tall dry reddish flowers.Both sorrel and all oxalis species are edible, being very sour due to oxalic and malic acid present, though like with rhubarb and...

just prune the dead bits. eventually it should grow big and honestly being lopsided is more interesting. Mine is huge and leans over 1m onto the ground. lovely 20cm thick stem. but make sure to water it

Yes I know................... way ahead of myself, but if you look around and check the dates on the packets, buying now can see you get some bargains. So a short video looking at what I have added to the seed collection I have, I have got rid of some older seed and will need a few more later,...
