Edible Gardening

Well this has to be my gadget of 2017..!! For every 1lb of Cherry plum tomatoes I get a very ample double serving of passata just right for the two of us..? A little fresh pasta and a meal in minutes if you have fresh basil onions and pasta.!It cost all of £15.. Saves all the blanching...

April 2015 i became the proud owner of 4 twigs. I potted these twigs - 3 apple and 1 pear. Later that year they produced a couple of branches and a few leaves. The following year (last year) i got a bit of fruit off two apple. The other apple did produce a few very small bits of fruit, but tiny...

I am up to my neck in Beetroot! I grew Cylindra this year and extremely pleased with the results. I think this variety is sweeter than the more commonly available Boltardy variety that I have grown in the past. I have cooked and frozen Beetroot in the past but then used it as a side vegetable...

Hi allMy first year strawberry plants got off to a bad start start this year after they were attacked by a summer hail storm of epic proportions.They recovered well though and have been doing fine. The last couple of days though I noticed that some of the leaves are curling inward and...

Hiya I've harvested a lot of my peas and in about half of the pods the occasional pea has a tiny larvae of what I am guessing is pea codling moth. I've been going through the peas inspecting every one - which is obviously a real pain! But I wondered, should I actually being binning the whole...

Hi I bought this and was wondering if the fruits are edible. Many thanks Joe

Anyone with experience of growing this? Was recently in Spain where it is much enjoyed and found it marvellous, called Ajos Tiernos there. I bought it by mistake thinking they were spring onions. What a find! Seems easy enough I'd imagine. Planting time appears to be feb/march with harvest...

I bought a couple of leeks. I save the end part to regrow. Right now, I have them in water, but want to change them to soil (in containers).The only soil I have available right now is specific for seedlings and herbs. I also have some compost made from the grass of the garden, but I'm not sure...

Old thread Here

Am thinking of these, wonder anyone else to join with me and share the tips.

Has anyone grown these successfully? The dill leaves were nice while they lasted, I added them to my sandwiches. But the seeds don't taste very good. I harvested most of them when they were ready (black) and dry. Maybe, in the case of caraway, the tiny threads attached to them don't help, though...

Has anyone any useful tips on how to avoid having our Cox's apples ruined by caterpillars, I presume Coddling Moth, only 4 out of about 30 were edible and this was the first time we had any apples!!! I know there are pheremone traps but I understand that they are not very effective.

Picked up my seed catalogue from the allotment shop this morning. I can't believe how cheap I can buy the seeds for compared to shop bought. Anyone else got one?

Hi All. I did post a couple of weeks ago about preparing my very small strawberry patch. I have decided to get 6 of Alice or Cambridge + 6 of Florence. Apart from having trouble just getting 6 of each I was looking at Alice and 8 different strawberry plant suppliers have different fruiting...

1st time growing radishes, is it normal for leaves and stems to flop all over the place?sometimes seems like leaves are too heavy for the stem to support. Radishes are growing well tho' and leaves and stem are a nice shade of green looking healthy enough.

I'm looking for turkish cucumber seeds if anyone can help?A fella gave me a TC plug plant & the cuces have been beautiful. I want to grow lots next year!Ive only found one place online (abroad) that sells them & theyre out of stock.Any ideas?

Living in Scotland it's a bit iffy growing Sweet Corn outside unless we get a good summer (not 1 this year!) The Sweet Corn I am growing in the greenhouse borders (Swift) has been gorgeous, so sweet and tender very few have even made the kitchen having been scoffed straight off the plant. The...

Has anyone grown Sweet Pepper F1 Sweet Sunshine? I am growing 10 different varieties of sweet peppers and chillies. 9 of the varieties look great, all have plenty of fruit and flowers. I have 4 pots of Sweet Sunshine which to be honest look pretty pathetic. They are about 3 inches high and seem...
