Edible Gardening

Hi all. Difficult to keep up with the speed of replies here isn't it? I'm glad to have joined such a lively forum.Leeks: well I have just been bunging mine out this very afternoon, using just exactly the technique that Blackthorn describes, only with smaller plants. Usually works. Pot-wise...

Forgot to post a link to Robert's Paper Pots:

You could always use 'Ecover' washing up liquid which is made from natural ingredients.

Hmmm ... mine did OK last year - had only 3 plants and we had enough Peppers - and the weather was lousy of course. Have another go I reckon??

I just planted my garlic in hanging cones this morning but the bulbs still looked ok and no sign of them showing shoots.

Soup Micky was every so tasty large pot all finished and it was mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
