Edible Gardening

Sounds like Mosaic virus. Nothing you can do, except keep enjoying the cucs.:thumb:

Hmm, seems our advice wasn't appreciated :(

They give you something to do during the winter months! Jap onions are pleasant to eat, but as many have said - poor on storage. I usually chop mine up and put them in bags in the freezer. I grow my summer crop of other onions varieties from seed - recommend it. It sounds fussy, but growing from...

well i really dont mind if it doesnt go right, at least i will know i gave it a try.. altho i opened one and there was no seeds inside.. so i'm not sure what i'm ment to do with em lol i'll just leave em there and see what happens, if they go mank i'll just chuck em.. i do like to try anything...

i've had my pot's in a container since probably may and th efoliage keeps coming and from what i can see i only have marbles under the soil !! something wrong perhaps ??

All my onions are still growing bolt upright outside.I'm not worried in the slightest as It's just because they've had so little decent weather this Summer (LOL) that they still think it's Spring.Once mine fall over then I'll just shove 'em in the polytunnel to dry and they'll be...

I am pretty sure he is equally flattering about me.

Thanks for that. I haven't watered them much as we've had so much rain! Just got back from a couple of days away and half of what I picked were split. Got loads though and the others are lovely! Thanks again

I believe it's around this time of year that you can plant a few spuds in the tunnel ready for christmas. This is my first year in the tunnel, not sure if I should add anything to the soil to aid there growth.Russ.

I tried to call Speilberg back but he fell asleep halfway thru the clip :( .... he said dont call us ....... and we deffo wont call u

You certainly have a good variety of veggies, mchumpf. :thumb: We've only been growing courgettes, pumpkins and green beans for the past 3 years, and we are great fans of the yellow courgettes. We think that they have a much finer texture and creamier taste than the green ones. We also had...

lol i spse i better be kind and eat it

Well, I've made up 2 batches, one using green toms and one using red. I'll let you know how it turns out. Cheers...freddy.

My runners this year are from seeds collected from last year's crop (like my Dad taught me!). Question - is it a good thing to keep on indefinitely using one's own seeds from the previous year. Apart from seed potatoes, are there any other standard veggies that should only be produced using...

I don't know but I keep trying stuff on it that does not render the vegetable uneatable. I thought the other day....I have some tea tree oil, if I dilute that ...like 5 drops to a litre of water and then spray what is left of my veg.....I wonder if that would help. I will try that to-night...

That's a great idea, what's the best time to move them.

it seems fruitful, but how to stock them, they looks so many.

Thanks for that Shiney,glad you saw this post.I thought that by the time you got on line the thread would have been over the other page:eek::D

My runner beans have only just started to flower. I sowed them at the usual time. Why are they so late? The slugs and snails haven't helped, and the birds have also been picking off the flowers, but by now I've usually picked several crops.

I presume you mean runners? Just stick them into the ground and they will root. Once they have rooted sever the runner from the main plant and just let it do its thing!
