Edible Gardening

Hi willow13, I grew these a couple of years back and although they didn't grow very big they were really tasty. Which site did you get your info from? I'd like to have a look to see if I can improve on my first effort.

cajary, I would like to grow some blueberries. what size of pot did you get three into or were they in different pots, any suggestions about other varieties to mix with top hat.

You could try using a litre from this:eek: maybe not ............ banana skins would be cheaper

Hi NurseWhen, yeah, I had a few of his books around 20 years ago before I stopped growing veggies. It looks like I`m gonna be moving to a house with a large garden shortly so I`ll be able to get things going again on the veggy front, hence the book. Just thought I`d spread the word ...

Don't know whats going on with your forking veg Roders :D

Any thing can be grown in a raised bed

Hi Kathy New growth late Oct is unusual but we have had such a mild time just recently with our Indian summer that I think the plants and bushes have thought it was spring again! They'll wise up after a few frosts no doubt. John

Ate our first ones on Friday.The plants are a little shorter than I would like but the sprouts are fine

A few of mine have bolted - I put it down to the wet weather

Breakfast this morning and delicious too! Ogen melon - unfortunately the last one this year :(

I tried aubergines this year as well, as I was given a couple of plants - similar story, although mine didn't even grow very big, got a few flowers but no fruits. I had them in half grow-bags in a mini-greenhouse but everything got too big so I had to leave the door open all the time! I didn't...

I had the self-same problem this year. Three of my courgette plants had this, and the leaves went very small, yellowish, and crinkly. We ate the courgettes anyway, and still alive. The fourth plant was unaffected, and is still producing, whereas the other three have rotted away completely while...

I'm not keen on loganberries - the hulls are too much and they seem to go mouldy before they ripen properly. Tayberries - I've grown several over the years, with the same result - 1 or 2 years of great abundance then a reversion to small acrop of small fruit. Never tried a boysenberry, but...

3 for �£1 off a street stall in Scarborough High Street. Must buy 3 - eat 2 and experiment with the other. I love to live dangerously. :D

Too close to the air conditioner, eh mira?

Terrier has the right idea.Over 30 years ago I planted it in our garden and it became so invasive that I spent five years trying to get rid of it. As I was digging out the roots I planted them along the grass verge alongside the field between me and the village. Whenever we want horseradish...

Last year they were all fantastic - we finished our last squashes in April after they kept all winter.This year was a disaster - some of the plants rotted entirely and moast were stunted with only the odd fruit on them. The only plant that did well was a south african squash called Hubbard...

I have grown some Mexican Sour Cucumbers they have grown quite well but they taste as sour as the name suggests. I think they would be great pickled they are all about the size of a Cob nut. Can I just put them straight in pickling vinegar or do I need to slice them and soak or anything like...

hey there peeps,This we we was wondering about celery, how has your been this year, our is rather thinner and smaller than we would have liked, but more tasty than last years, what has yours been like? is it the weather ? or just a funny year, we think we wattered them more than last as well....

I have frozen my chilli's in the past and can't say that they have lost any of their heat.
