Edible Gardening

Sorry birdbrain, I missed your post.I cant remember the variety, it might have been Grenadier or even moneymaker. I dont think its to do with the variety, more the growing conditions, if you grow them outside it never happens. The stems are much shorter and the plants more compact and...

Sis, I've made Jalapeno jelly quite often, Dad sent me the recipe years ago. This is the one we always put on a cream cheese sandwich.I've also made a hot jelly using tomato juice and ready-made chilli sauce.

Just this minute finished planting the AG. Got each one in a pot,ericacious compost, as required in the back which is south facing and somewhat sheltered. Gonna put the berries in me porridge!

hi lauriei tryed spuds for the first time this year i used 40 litre polypots placed 3/4 seed potatoes in the bottom and added compost as they grew and got 20/30 spuds per bag and they were lovely .so if i got that from 40 litres then you should get 40+ if you want some polypots i got mine...

Yeah, got it. Printed it off to go in my folder, thanks again.

I spelled somehing wrong should have readi meant to say can one make deserts or something with them or do something with wine.

I went to our village post office this morning and the postmistress gave me a tour of her tiny courtyard garden where she had a fig tree growing in a huge pot. It had hundreds of figs growing on it, some of them very nearly ripe. I was very impressed! She told me that I could have a cutting...

Hi, guys. There was a thread that gave full cultural instructions for Blueberries but I can't find it on the "Search" facility. Now I've got a computer that I can print off of, can someone tell me where it was? Please

I've just got the blight as well . I've cut away a lot of the blighted plants and, although they all have blight, I've left some with fruit that doesn't seem to have been affected yet. I'm hoping they might survive long enough to start to ripen. I've cut away the leaves from around the...

I think some things are bigger and some have rotted this year, it just depends on how much rain you've had. Here its been windy with the rain, and I think that has stopped some of the rot, but brought other problems. Ruffmeister, do you always up root your shallots when still in leaf? I have...

I saw that prog Miraflores and was wondering whether the root went straight down in which case the owner would have had to dig that deep to get it out in one piece. It must have been curled up surely.It was the runner beans which amazed me. How did they get that little curl on the ends -...

I have had some of my parsnips too Fonzie and they were sublime. I'm going to take advice and leave the others until after our first frost - although I think they may be very large by then.How come you got leeks :confused: Mine are just about the thickness of a knitting needle.It's...

Thanks D.W. As a rule I don't want early anything as we are over run with veg. It is just very annoying as with raised beds you plan against antisipated use, and when 10% of your crop produces at the wrong time it breaks a spoke in the wheel. (not that I am a ex accountant and no my life is not...

Following the floods, veg prices in the shops are rising and expected to continue upwards for some time.Any ideas for good crops to plant now for harvest in the Autumn? It's a bit late for most crops and you can only eat so many salad leaves.
