Edible Gardening

Any chance of a pic Ladybird.

No idea about the pinching out. Not done it yet and, as with you, things are going so well I'm not going to start.Emma

Hi Aqua, Planted my first pepper plant this year in my greenhouse in a 12 inch pot surrounded by four marigold plant's, apparently aphids hate marigold plant's, did'nt hold out much hope but there it is today a little pepper, and a few more flower bud's, They like to be kept moist but not...

Not sure about the planning but I would add blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants

Probably should be up by now Hannah :(

Or just use a folk and strip them off in a bowl...it's quite fast, specially if you eat about half, while you do it, lol. -------- Ladybird

Hi Feline I put 3 Pepper plants in a 1 meter trough and they do very well in them.. Chillies, I only grow 1 or 2 and put them in a 6" pot, less likely to dry out on hot day and in sunny position like the Peppers. ------- Ladybird

good look with yoursmy tomatillo plants look so healthy and happy it makes me smilegod knows if they'll fruit though :D but they look good :D

Pick them and eat them? :D

No sign of any bugs or gribbley things as our friend put it in another post. Yesterday they had all but two wilted completely, they had looked perfectly healthy apart from possibly the "sap" the night before, so I've given them a saturating and put them on the kitchen window sill.

Its covering a large area now, any ideas if it a named type. Bit of a job to get down to the basement to dig out the roots, under flag stones.

Thanks for that pete,I can relax now

Hannah, I really wouldn't try planting new potatos, bought from a supermarket. They have just stopped growing now and need a resting stage. I agree with Mrs Cloudy, it is a bit too late to plant now, mainly because unless someone can let you have some seed, I dont think you'll find any for...

Hello Bill, Point of clarification regarding mixture-add 50 ml solution to 1 ltr cold water. Best wishes, Gerald.

Presume you only have the one cayene plant, so nothing to compare it with. Not grown them myself, so dont really know if this is normal, but it dont sound right. It could possibly be a virus, which are usually spread by greenfly. I think you've done the right thing in separating it from the...

How do you know if it's a F1? Does it say on the packet? (makes mental note to check packet)

Hi, yes I love rocket, also lambs lettuce so I was trying to grow that as well.

I grew Ruby Chard a few years ago in my garden and not the veg patch. Not too fussy about it but hey....It was somehting different. John

Thanks all for that confirmation. I have been removing the side shoots but then someone told me they thought with that variety you don't need to. Great sight for all the expert help us novices need.Keep up the good work.

I just looked up "marketmore" on google, it doesn't say that it is female only, so I would assume it is male/female.The way to tell the difference between a male and female flower is easy, a female flower has a tiny cucmber at the base of the yellow flower, a male flower is just a flower.Nathan
