I've just noticed that Wilkos are selling online 15Kg sacks of seed spuds for £15 (£1.07/Kg). Free delivery to store for collection (haven't seen them instore). http://www.wilko.com/garden-seeds bulbs/onion...

We grow white radish every year, just to have something fresh to gnaw on throughout the autumn. However, I find that about half of them don't taste good. The other half I could eat all in one go! I can't quite describe the bad ones: they taste too earthy? There's something missing. The trouble...

Anyone got a nice recipe for courgettes and tomatoes?

Hi All,We finally moved house earlier this year and have a single butternut squash plant. It is in a pot as I knew they spread and didn't want it to take up the whole of the 6x4 raised veg bed. It's trailing nicely across the gravel with one nicely expanding fruit. Two smaller fruit were...

Hi guys I'd like to sow some chilli seeds within the next few weeks or so even though its not the right time of year - if i were to keep them inside the house or conservatory is there a change they could survive?Thanks

Poundland are selling what appear to be the old design veg storage bags that Lakeland sold (with veggie pics on, rather than there new stuff that's labelled 'onion', 'potatoes', etc.). Lakeland have the new design on 'special' at £2.99 , or you can get them for £1 at Poundland - and they...

Am putting together an article on the gooseberry so thought a few facts and opinions from gardeners and recipes would be in order. Any nuggets of information for me?

We've had our bed producing for oh, 15 years. Every year I have the same question, but this time I know where to go. Many spears come up, some nice and thick but most thin and spindly. I always wonder whether the bed is getting old; whether we don't feed them enough; or whether the thin ones are...

I sowed some Runner Beans a while back, they have all germinated...unfortunately I have got the ground prepared and they have gone a bit leggy..... Can I put them in the ground deeper than what they are growing in their trays at the moment. Cheers...

Has anyone tried growing brussels in South East Cornwall. I have been trying for 5 years with little success. Other greenstuff is fine with purple sprouting best. If anyone knows a variety of brussells which suit Cornish soil I would be pleased to know. I have tried all the normal ones...

Hi all,I planted my garlic in October time and it seems to be doing well. Do I need to feed it at all and if so what with? Will general fertiliser do?Rusty

I have a grapevine (Madeleine Sylvaner) that I've pruned into a t-shape, i.e. a main stem about 2 feet tall with two permanent arms around 6-8 feet long at that level. I have left on a couple of long new growths from the bottom, a couple going sideways from the top of the trunk and one from the...

I bought a mushroom kit today, the idea behind this is if it goes well then I'll try the 'exotic' mushroom varieties. There's 2 bags in the kit - one is a base layer of some type of compost and the other is a top layer of innoculated spores. I'm wondering about a thin layer of worm-poop...

Are back instore, 40 large sets for £1. I've just weighed my bags of Sturon & Red Baron and they were 364g and 312g respectively (including packaging) so large sets like last year's and the same price. From 16/1/12: The Sturon are about the same price as Wilkos, but the Red Baron are half...
