Edible Gardening

It's not too late to plant dwarf beans - should be OK right up until the end of June. Last year I planted mid June and was picking until the end of September.

I'm wondering what to do with my Toms.Already over 6' tall, fruit formed on 5 trusses, 6th with first flower open, and 7th already formed.I'm thinking about getting some tomato hooks and "stringing" / "layering" them, like they do commercially.I wonder if stopping them on a particular...

Thanks guys well I have stabbed various holes in the bottom of the bag and given them a feed so fingers crossed! Next year I'll deffo do them in pots.Cheers EGW x

Thanks for that hammer. I'll give it a try.

Hello all,going back a few months I bought a Rubus Idaeus "fall gold". (yellow raspberry)So alls good , and I have raspberries growing, but as some have started to riped they have gone red?So , the Q is, are they prone to doing this, or perhaps the plant I purchased was labeled...

:thumb: Ditched it! Just hope none of the others get it.

You will know when they are ready. she wont shout anything, will be too busy eating!

I agree. But only if it's christmas day! Only kidding.

Spot on, pete ... the Prunus cerasifera, the Cherry Plum. Thank you .... I shall give Mick a ring. :thumb:

First time I've grown roma toms Shiney! I guess it would help if I read the seed packs too I just find them so tasty - I have some in the greenhouse and some out in the garden as well.

... as for the blueberry seeds themselves?

A type you may wish to try for next year is a Thompson and Morgan seed called Sub-Artic-Plenty.It's an out of doors bush tomato. Excellent cropper and can withstand quite cool weather. Small but sweet toms.

Much appreciated Dave. Thank you.I contemplating going down the Bob Flowerdew road and using car tyres, but even those things can be quite heavy, unsightly and take up a lot of space which I haven't got.:thumb:

Well they're poking out the roof vents at this point, so yes I do chop off at the top to stop things getting too tangled etc (this weekend probably). Otherwise I leave pretty much alone and they're fine. I've seen arguments rage back and forth on pruning/not pruning in general (suckers etc) so...

Terrier.Thanks for that additional bit of advise. I'll keep an closer eye on watering too.Ant.

Damage, shallots go in on the shortest day and out on the longest. Garlic goes in in September and out in August.:thumb::D And onion seed is traditionally sown on Boxing Day.

thx. ill try and keep the area around cress "wetter" then! As for the rosemary, I have no idea what form it is!?? Thx

Thanks for the info,CW25. 24 polypots! That's on an industrial scale! Makes my 3 bags pale into insignificance. (But I'm sure that I will enjoy the produce as much as you do).

the greenhouse is clear plastic and i open the door flap in the morning and close it for the night, i actually think you might be closer with the over-crowding ,

Don't worry, I usually water in the morning and in the evening!!!
