Edible Gardening

Damaged or diseased leaves. Remove them. What living portions remain, simply drain the plant of nutrients.

It's unlikely to be magnesium deficiency yet, but as Kristen say it won't hurt to try. I would say your seed compost may have run out of nutrients. I would pot them on or give them a half dose of tomato feed.

Got it. Maize white line virus

When they are completely yellow and have a spongey feel to them, if they are hard they will be slightly sour to eat. Try one when you think they are ripe, you will learn to judge as time goes on.

I am not sure that's M-Virus . Is it just one leaf or multiple leaves ? Other than the white dots the leaves look healthy , it looks more like a burn marking to me . Have you got anymore pictures of the whole plant or plants

After removing all the affected leaves we have had no further problems (touch wood) and we now have around 30 mini cucumbers developing really well I am so excited, can't wait to eat one :D

Thank you so very much @misterQ you are an absolute star, I really appreciate the help and advice

Thanks guys they are in a polly tunnel so it is a bit humid in there at the min might get a bit more air flow in there

Some of the leaves on some of my beans are turning yellow. I grew far too many plants initially, ran out of garden and stuck the remaining dozen or so in troughs and pots on a 'bung them in and see' basis. Mine (in the tubs) are turning yellow because I seldom remember to feed them.

Lets see the pic podex, sounds interesting. :D

We call the yellow ones here---Summer Squash, and the green ones Zucchini. I believe the same. I love buying equal amounts to saute up with garlic, olive oil and a tomato. Such a lovely site to eat, and yummy. I do not peel either of them. Yep Spruce, regarding your picture. Thats what they...

7 years is a long time, I imagine all number 2's will have turned to compost over that time.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Surprised at few potatoes you would put in a large bin.Excellent news about the compost. The used potato compost I will revive and used on carrots and courgettes. The used carrot and onion compost I have I will zhush up and use for the potatoes as well as adding...

Hi Manteur, I originally bought some of the small stem tubers from Chilterns.If your interested I could sent you a few, but you'll need to keep them through the winter and plant next spring.PM me.

Sal, Doh, I was hoping it would be the air potatoes/Dioscorea. I will pot up, and if it grows, great, if not, too bad. I had to come up with an excuse at work why I needed to go back to that client. Well I popped in there, but I really wanted to go to the shop next door

They were beautifully sweet Jenny, far nicer than shop bought. I picked most of the bigger ones during the first week in November in the polytunnel and the small cherry type a couple of weeks earlier from my outdoor bed. We started with with 4 trays of green/orange ones as well as a few bunches...

Thanks Geoff, you answered my question before i asked !Can I get 3 to a bag ? Never grown before but just planted today. Variety is "All Green Bush " ???Thanks

I was just going to say the same thing

" So I can start the next lot of seeds off inside"I have two propagators for seeds, they take 7 x 1/4 sized seed trays each, and I usually plant two types of seeds per tray - I'm usually only looking for 5 - 20 plants of each type.15-Feb is my first sowing - Aubergine, Toms, Summer cabbage &...
