Edible Gardening

Thanks Geoff, That could be it. I did see something about that on one of the sites, I agree with the old glossy broucher brigade, All show and not much in the way of quality, Well some of them anyway. Easier to pick, Hmm i may have to keep my step daughter out of the garden when there ripe. I...

I have read what the others have to say and agree with most of it.This is how I grew mine; http://tinyurl.com/yzxd7yRegarding the way champion growers grow them;They will already have their seed sown and germinated by now and most likely potted on.These will be in heated cabinets lined...

Thank you for that. GL

:confused:

I always sow them where they're going to stay. That seems to be the recommendation. Apparently they don't take too well to transplanting as I have found in the past. I sow them around early autumn. And give them plenty of space right from the get go as they just don't like having their roots...

I will be growing chillies next year but I dont think I will join Unconcerned's competion. Sending you some seeds shortly (flowers)They keep sending me extra packets.

I grow Glen Ample: mid season. Reputed to be one of the heaviest croppers. About 10kg picked this year from a 8 metre row. Taset : gorgeous. Big and juicy...

I have just dug out what I hoped to be a soft fruit bed which I intend to net ect. I obtained from my local garden centre three redcurrant, two blackcurrant and a gooseberry at the bargin price of �£5 the lot.(too good to refuse) however I had intended to include 6-8 raspberry canes. Looking...

Hi supersprout,have a look through Digging,in edible gardening.

Have you decide on their placing in your garden? The peach will need a warm sheltered place and as they flower before the last frosts the blossom will need protection. It could be grown in a large container so you can move it into shelter when it flowers. The other big problem with peaches can...

round bottomed and powerfully sweet Stroller.

I have pvc hoops permanently over my raised beds and stretch pond netting over to keep butterflies off. It needs to be a fine mesh but big enough to let light and rain through.

Didn't they do a trial on Gardener's World which seemed to suggest that spuds grew more or less the same, chitted or not? I don't make a point of growing a crop now, but sometimes if I have one or two potatoes left at the bottom of the supermarket bagful which have started to grow "eyes" I put...

Runner beans for me - you can keep your frenchies. I am lucky to have seeds that were collected and sowed every year for 65 years so dont know the variety, but they crop really well as long as they are picked early ! I may have some spare if you want some. Interestingly , when I collected the...

yes, ricpop, you certainly can grow a lot of different vegetables and fruit by just using the seeds inside them. I think it is best to let them dry before you use them.

Try http://www.marshalls-seeds.co.uk/rkmain.asp?PAGEID=20670&STK_PROD_CODE=1020-2503 Type cress into search bar and you get 4 types. Think I might get some, now that this has reminded me. If I had the room i would have a water cress bed. As we dont have any cattle or sheep then I don't see there...

WHEN I can get them here .....I prefer ros�© to crosses on mine :D I cook them just until 'crunchy' transfer to a HOT frying type pan and throw in a large glug of ros�© wine which will evaporate as it cooks and add a "zing" to the taste ..... M-L Bonne F�ªte everyone...

Hi, I don't think you are alone luckyboo. I bought an outdoor grape and it has done the same thing. My blueberry plant has only a few tiny leaves and so are the ones in the garden centre. I thought I had killed my grape, but I think it's normal!

tomatoes!!They're basic, easy to grow, but definitely tasty! Why not try growing some of the hanging basket varieties? Lovely, and look good too.... here's an example or two..http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/product/630/1
