Edible Gardening

You certainly get some good results my friend, and everything looks so healthy. Long gone are my veggie growing days. Root veg often would cause a laugh, where mishapes were dug up. The weather at times played hell with the potato crop. Dry season and most turned out like moth balls. Wet...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the advice and encouragement, I have to say Im getting excited about it now. Unfortunately I didn't get anything done over the weekend had a bit of a family emergency but all is back to normal now. I have decided on an area, for no at least. I am going to take an...

Ate my last Glacier tomato yesterday and kept a few seed too. Under the grow lights January.

I think, I uploaded more of the good ones from there. if interested I can continue.

In many instances, it will depend on just how close the Peppers are to ripening naturally - some just need a nudge so the table by the window would suffice.

Agree with @noisette47 , though you could let a few of those 12" tall shoot grow on and they will likely give some summer fruit as well as the new autumn fruiting shoots that come up in spring.Believe there is little difference between summer and autumn types, just that the Bliss can give good...

Just wish to let fellow "newbies" know, I found...... any green tom you grow will ripen, even down to 1in (25mm) diameter toms (in fact my small toms are exceedingly sweet!) A few ripened on the bush, the rest ripened on a sunny window-ledge or under the settee in the living-room in the...

thankyou

I have Autumn Bliss and cut them down to the ground each winter as others have said.Rather than buy more plants I pull out suckers and replant elsewhere. But could be good to try another variety too ☺️

Been there. Done that. Often so soul destroying, having prepared the ground, planted, contended with bugs etc attacking the top growth. The come the time to harvest. Her the scene changes. Much is the result of the seasonal weather. Row upon row of moth ball sized tubers, then agood season,...

@mazambo I didn't come across that one and it looks to be right so I'll get some seeds. Thank you.

Thanks Pete, good information, I'll try some white ones.

The first lots of plants have gone yellow with only few nice beans but now lots of seed The young plants should do well even if it's just a few for meals now on, freezer is full for the winter

Dont quite understand that statement DR. Grafted trees are more likely to come up with the goods and I'm guessing if you bought an almond tree at any nursery it will probably be grafted.

Thanks. Ah well you live and learn!

hallo,have found similar threads but none tell me how and when to prune a hazelnut? Last year i did not prune at all thinking the nuts will come at the end of new shoots -- very few did. They are now getting to be rather large bushes with several leaders. I have not fed them and still they...

I get very confused by raspberries! Mine have been fruiting for about a month now - it seems they overlap summer and autumn........so when should they be pruned??

Interesting, didn't know birds liked them too! I have quite a few geraniums but G. 'Johnson's Blue' is by far the most popular with bees here, another early flowerer but slightly later than the phaeum. Perovskia did well too, despite being a very young plant, until the Sedum spectabile flowered....

Thank you Caroline - I'll have a look at that and see if I can put my cellar to use !Thank you too John - your apology obviously worked

All mushrooms are edible...............some only once!!!!
