"it has five seeds so I think I should buy another packet then"Don't mean to sound "Nanny" but are there actually only 5 seeds in the packet, or does it just say it has 5 seeds printed on the packet? Quite often them have more seeds than they say. I have a "fondle" of the packets in the...

I can`t help it Freddy, it just comes natural.:lollol::lollol::thumb:

Walnut thanks for that, I was thinking of getting a sulpher candle and fumigating the greenhouse with that. vheers

But that 'child' is a product of the previous generation - :lollol:I feel sorry for those that don't get at least one parent that cares enough!Luckily they aren't all like that - luckily there are some great kids out there!But sadly that scenario is all too common

If you are talking Japanese onions, Adam, planted now they would be cropping about July of next year.

You can 'Google' fact sheets on any veg you are growing and it is most useful.:thumb:

Hi Pete,Thanks for your answer. Not the answer I wanted but what I was afraid of. I'll check into what is allowed to be brought into the country.Problem is, my friends don't know the name of the variety.mrs flowers

I leave my parsnips all through the winter and I love the taste iof parsnips specially roasted.

Yes got them in 2wks ago, now prepairing the ground for the giant onions for next year, with a two inch layer of seaweed gathered locally, hope this will make a difference,

Thanks for the help - will open day time. :thumb:

I try, but don't always manage, to follow legumes with brassicas as brassicas are particularly nitrogen hungry and root crops less so.

thanks will give it a go

I'm amazed that my tomatoes are still ripening! If I had followed advice in my magazine, I'd have taken them all off the plants last month and like you Ellie, would have ended up with a draw full of unusable tomatoes. My 2 yr old grandson loves going into the greenhouse with a tub and asking...

I tried The Sutton this year (Spring planting) and, like freddy, was very disappointed with the yield. I found them more resistant to Blackfly than Exhibition Longpod, but not immune. Luckily I caught my Blackfly early and a combination of pinching out and insecticide kept them at bay. We...

morning little miss,I'm no expert but I believe potatoes need a minimum of 12 weeks in the ground ( I could be wrong) and I made the mistake in summer of digging some up once they'd flowered and got tiny ones that would have matured if I'd left them in.I'd still wait for advice from...

Theres a thread on Trees in GC. Fruit Trees Included

I would, I tend to get most of the common ones, suttons, t&m. they can all be requested online. and you don't have to order from them, my local garden centre stocks 2 of the main ones seeds so a walk saves on postage
