Edible Gardening

Its got weird leaves.

Thank you everyone. Some good points to consider. The drive will go!

Thank you @JenCD for your very useful post

So I got my hands in soil the navan potatos lovely healthy sprouts just under soils surface, rooster potatos no growth and looks like slugs etc have been eatting them, so the patch withe the rooster potatos is roughly 2 by 3 ish meters do I replant potatos on the plot different varity our should...

The use of CIPC sprays to prevent potatoes from sprouting was banned in in the EU and the UK in 2020.if your Roosters weren’t chitted before planting I imagine they’ll be a little delayed starting into growth … the soil has only just started warming up this year.I presume you’re growing...

I've just ordered some of that fertilizer @Cordy, thanks for the tip. I see it contains Sulphur.

Thanks. It'll have to be syrup as the elder flowers are long over by the time I get apricots. I suspect after last year the apricot may have a bit of a rest this year.

Nope I take that back

It could be apple scab, but have a look at the examples on the RHS Site to confirm first. Apple scab and pear scab / RHS GardeningIf it is that, then you can use a copper-based fungicide to treat it. The general term for this fungicide is Bordeaux Mixture - recipes are on the web if you want...

If its any consolation my pears have hardly set any fruit. I think it was the cold winds. Next year I'll get out the paintbrush.

I grew telepathy a "greenhouse" cuce outside and had enormous yields. i got a 44cm one even, width of my arm. was very spiney but no problem.

I grow a lot because I sell the produce for charity.

I've never used it but the one I've often read positive reports about is SB Invigorator

Mine illustrate that very well - all "Outdoor Girl", and sown at the same time. On the left, planted out today after being in a coldframe in small pots since the beginning of the month. On the right, all the same conditions except I planted them out last weekend. And in the second photo, same...

After planting seeds from Tesco tomatoes (Piccobella) I found they were super quick to germinate, up within a few days. Piccobella are rather nice, bit pricy at £2 for 220g (presently £3 for 2 Clubcard price). You've got nothing to lose with planting SM seeds and could have a lot to gain. It's...

You need something heavier than slug pellets; and a FAC.

They dont look bad, hungry maybe. Liquid feed mixed with water. the tops look better than the lower leaves so there's hope. I think maybe that these were sow too early/allowed to develop too far before planting out. I sow into 1metre lengths of scrap plastic gutter (available to collect from...

Hello all,I was hoping you could advise me. Two of my raspberry plants (one bought as a plant last year, the second as a bare root this year) have developed brown marks on their leaves. Plant 1 is most severe and I have already cut off 10-20 leaves over the last month. Plant 2 is less severe,...

I've started using x3 canes tied together in a triangle to boost their strength. Will definitely extend the structure based on information from this thread.

Thats great @misterQ ! Ive literally just finished planting my squash in some old potato planting bags that I found. Theyre probably 45litres. I will take photos in a week or so.
