Edible Gardening

Interesting web site thanks LOL

Fancy, since that chili didn't come with a label, I have named it "Double Hot B**tard" because they're plenty hot :D

Hi Debs, we live a few hundred miles north of you and the outdoor toms have plenty green fruit on. We've grown Gardeners Delight outdoors for years and never failed to get a good crop. This year they were sown on 2nd April and brought on in pots in the house before planting out in May in a bed...

Just off out to do mine as well. At least it will tidy the lot up.Thanks for the adviceB

If l had feelings i could be hurt

I grow mine in tall drainage pipes and dont get bothered at all or earth them up until early june.

Albert Dyer I find the your idea of sitting in my beanstick bothy sipping cider most offensive............ I much prefer wheatbeer.

If they are rotting from the flower end, then I reckon its pollenation problems, the heat shouldn't be a problem, they like it hot and wet. Even though you pick a courgette well before its mature, ie. a marrow, it still needs to be pollenated.

hi kandyfloss, Iff you have problems i will transfer it into my pictures for future use, i am in the middle of tonging my hair and twiddling on this computer at the same time. :D

I have an alpine which fruits for months (still fruiting now). I have royal sovereign, not a big cropper, but the most delicious fruit. I also have cambridge favourite. Better cropper, lighter taste. In the expert series (books by Hessayon), there is a fruit expert and it explains the majority...

Hi Frogesque, If you have a greenhouse just keep one of the mature fruits and let it dry out naturally. When it is dry remove the seeds and keep in a dry dark place until next spring. Alternatively, you can sow a mature tomato, whole, in a large pot of dry compost, keep it dry and don't water it...

I hates cats got no respect for nuffin yet people always feed em an make their comfort, one diggin in my patch last week for a turn out, i throw old bike at him but miss and smash up glass in greenouse instead, Bloomin thing.

Just had the first fruit from my 'Dolce Rosso' [grown from Morrisons' tomato of that name]. At last a proper tomato taste. I'll concentrate on that next year for small tomatos. Dag, what a beautiful crop! Rosa, I think you've said you get bees on your balcony, so if you've got flowers the...

Hi Marge,I had quite good success this year so far with Basil so here's what I did (in case it's some help)In the greenhouse; seeds sown in individual plug trays and watered to start them off, but then not again until they germinated and I could see shoots. I did however make sure to not let...

Wife and I like to pickle anything we can get our hands on and beetroot should taste good after 2 months or so and last for months after that. They would make great Xmas presents this year in a small decorative jar.

Thanks pete and wildflower, I thought so too.
