Cheers infradig. I wish i'd posted on here before cutting off half the leaves, but the plants seem to have survived. For now!

hallo, sorry for late reply -- my pear is about 10 years old, i,ve had it for 5 years -- i think it needs an other pollinator nearby which i was not told about/did not know about -- so i think i will sell it to a gardening friend who has room for two trees in her garden & i shall opt for a...

It's currently in isolation and now looking incredibly sorry for itself. Will give it to the end of the week, and then try as you suggest. Shame we are not going to be having great weather this week.

From their website ("lovethegarden"):So it looks like 20ml in a gallon of water weekly.IIWY I would consider asking them the question (and reporting the answer here)!Edit: 01276 401300

I have been growing 3 tomato plants (at least!) in each growbag (x3) for many years & always get good results! I've done the same this year & the plants are growing very well. One, from a self-sown seedling, is now over a metre tall & has 4 trusses, 3 of which have tomatoes on them.This year...

I gave up smoking a pipe 40 years ago lol. Funnily though he and I share a lot of similarities, I'm a mad keen angler too.

After reading around two suggestions 1) Manganese deficiency, 2) Virus.

Some good advice Cheers all, will need to update my gardening notebook.

Clueless, I've grown them a few times. Grew much better in pots than in the ground. Can definitely grow fairly well in the UK though. Mine grew to around just under 2 feet.

I have overwintered realseeds 60day# broccoli in pots (6") undercover, to get an earlier crop. * Normal problems of slugs and white fly, but most survived. Placed outside in January c20th), and planted out as soon as weather brightened. Essential to cover with net as pigeons are hungriest then....
