Edible Gardening

Our beans have not been to bad, but about 2 weeks ago they stop but now have just started to flower again, i've got some i planted in 1st week of August and flowering nicely so i'm hoping for a nice Autumn/Indian summer The hot weather wasn't any good for my beans, still got to fill the...

That makes sense as the number of slugs and snails in my garden is insane! Thanks.

Hard to tell. They aren't always right under the stuff. What kind of texture is it?

I've recently retired and i can fully recommend it! As for rhubarb crumble.. What's not to like. Mrs JR does it in a vitrous enamel baking tin, and the juice caramelises around the edge as it cooks.. Lurvly

Hello,New to the forum, thank you for the welcome! We just started vegetable gardening at home. We have some past experience but are growing yellow tomatoes for the first time and have two questions it would be great if someone can help with:1) We grew yellow stuffer tomatoes but they have...

Agree it looks like apple scab. (Of course worth checking for any creepy crawlies in the apples too just in case there are multiple issues going on).For control, a spray early in season and clearing fallen leaves well in autumn is recommended.I have read that the scab affected fruit are fine...

I did this with several trimmings, all took

In all honesty the BEST cloches are the old Chase continuous cloche (Glass) Alternatively make your own from glass sheets and clips you can get to make tent cloches. Not as good as the barn and high barn cloches but better by far than plastic. Once in position hose them down and the natural...

I refer back to my post 12.Aug. 20

Hi all. I planted 2 of these squash in a potato grow bag 20th May. The 1st photo is the big one that was 1st to take hold. I have lots of younger fruit that are clearly not ready, but the big one is a good month in advance. Can I harvest this one? I thought it was a winter squash so had to...

I was wondering that. Thanks. There are some more forming so maybe removing that one will help the others? Going to be very windy tonight and tomorrow so I'll leave it on vine as a weight. Unless I get an overwhelming response saying cut it!

Attempting to tidy and braid my onions today

Looking fab Emily

Thank you. Just the sort of advice I needed. I will stick to house plants at most if I do decide to try something indoors.

And they vary in quality. I don't use them at all.

Can I just say, Bramleys are picked far too early mostly, when ripe you can eat them straight off the tree, in october.

Look good

Thanks Nigel, you've sorta confirmed what I've just discovered. I've just had a look now and there's 4 definite "branch" looking things sticking out from under the big leaves near the bottom. The longest is only about 4in but it has produced multiple leaves along it so I'm a happier gardener...

In 2018 I bought a dwarf cherry tree - I think it is a Stella, certainly a self pollinating one. Last year it did nothing (apart from grow a bit), but i just thought it needed time to acclimatize. This year it had about 6 blossom flowers but they came to nothing. Disappointing to say the...

That makes sense because my cuties are in a part shaded area which gets full sun for only 3 hours per day and i always water at the base, never on the leaves :-)
