yes, one seed per pot ( tightfisted )

I never knew this so thank you! :thumb: I've been looking around and have seen some different varieties for less than £10 for very healthy looking bushes and some for less than £5 which quite frankly look nothing near as good as my £1.99 bargain. So i would like to acchieve with the so i'm...

I will see what I can transplant them into that's more productive than pots.Thanks again Kristen :thku:

"... In a Dustbin"You will therefore be able to refer to them as your "Rubbish Runner Beans" WOO

PHEW!!!!!! Well, I think ill be at least attempting to move the carrots tomorrow, theres still a few that look so healthy! It's just good to have come to a conclusion, and i think ill stick to this one, it makes the mose sence considering its happeing to the carrots as well. do you think it...

I hate thinning out seedlings, it seems so cruel, but I understand the reasoning behind it. We have sown what were advertised as baby carrots this year. The plan is to start picking them to eat and so thin them out in the process. As we munch on them over the weeks, we will leave the remainder...

Sorry about that, too much chat, poor memory, and all that.But, in conclusion, the upshot was 11" - 12" and around 10 Litres. (Bigger will be fine of course).If you haven't got anything that big, and don't want a grow bag, consider cutting a grow bag in half and standing each half on its...

how many french beans are you puting to a corn. i was going to use some courgettes but i've changed around a few things in the garden i'll be using butternut squash, sugar baby , pumpkin + honey dew. As I dont have a need for 2 much of each of these

If you have small plants just coming shelaghm, you could try keeping them going and overwinter them (providing next winter is less severe) . All chillies are perennial so given the right protection and light levels they can give you an early start next year, try the same with any young chilli...

I thinking of doing long carrots to get the kids interested - although left it too late this year. I figure I might just, with luck, be able to grow a carrot longer than the 10 year old ... (Its the grow-in-a-drain-pipe thingie ... by the by, I was reading today an idea that growing things in...

I am a novice when it comes to strawberries. I grew some last year for the first time and just left them in the terracotta strawberry pot and they have all reappeared this year looking very healthy. Maybe they won't fruit? I'm not really sure what I should have done?

I usually grow about 120 plants in the garden and plant out my first batch of beans towards the end of April. Sometimes they survive (for the last five years that have all survived) and sometimes they don't but I grow lots of bean plants in succession so just replace them if the frost gets...

Ok thanks for your help.

You're fine... go with it.. broad beans are tough! It's not to late to sow another batch for a later crop... not too warm, or even outside

My first attempt at growing onions, this year. Did a lot of garlic last year and recall that I had to remove the scapes (could eat them as well, although you did not get much of a plate full). Anyway, onions being essentially the same thing, do I assume that I do the same with the onion scapes?

Can any one advise what and how many strawberry plants to fit into a common grow bag.Is there any secrets to obtaining a good grop.I would be grateful of any assistance or advise.

Mine came from Wyevale a week ago and they had tonnes, be good to have someone to compare with if you do get one! :thumb:

I have used paper pots this year with just one seed in each pot. Yes it is time consuming, but I have the time these days. As soon as the little seedlings popped up they were into the garden correctly spaced. No thinnings required.! As there is only the two of us I do not need vast amounts so I...
