Edible Gardening

Hi Jazzy, I wouldn't take any leaves off your beans as they produce the energy/food the plant needs....you can take off tatty leaves that are going brown on the bottom of Tomato plants.

Isn't it a great feeling @cindy when you pick your home grown goodies...they taste so much better than shop bought..I still do the dancy thing even though I've been growing them for years.

Hi aldo your plant will be ok they are pretty strong last year i grew one in a grow bag and the vines spread up to 6 -7 ft long and ,found that they need a lot of water in fact as it was very hot last year everday i my pumpkin needed 2- 3buckets of water sending you a pic,of my grown...

@cindy Check the recent thread starting with "Any Strawberry Experts...". And yeah, supermarket ones will give you no idea, all pretty much bland things, don't waste your money on them.

Thanks for the information and sorry for the replying only now, I got caught up with work things and lost of sight forum and garden both..Unfortunately, I did use potting some potting compost, I wish I had know this earlier. I get my soil from the gardening centre around the corner and...

Hi again folks!I have a bunch of capsicum plants, mostly superhot Chinensis vars but there's also a pair woody stemmed candelabra style Fillius Blue in there, and a trio of Spanish sweet red peppers (Dulce De Espana) - 15 plants in all, and also a pair of small fruit tomatoes, all in a little...

This is what I think I need to do Sian. I have a dylek styhle composter I can take some out the top and trench in fresh stuff from the kitchen. this I must do. My thanks for all the advise guys and gals

In this youtube timelapse video they all lean in the same direction, and it's not towards the light. It gets really interesting from about 3.00 mins

I still say the same, keep the roots moist and humidity up. A milk solution may well help, sprayed on the leaves.

I bought two trays of young Asparagus plants at the beginning of last year.I cut them down in I think October.They are now very high and one has berries on it which was told to avoid.Would it do any harm to cut them down now so I can tidy the bed up plenty of weeds but cannot get at them because...

Try the variety Winston next year @john558 it is the best tasting early spud I have ever grown. It doesn't suffer with the skins coming off nor break up like the more floury types.

Thanks @pete , from what I've read it looks like either over- or under-watering is likely at fault - not exactly helpful The roots looked ok when I repotted it last month and I'm loathe to disturb it too much by checking again. It's already outside in the sun so I'll try a gentle prune (and...

If it was a grafted plant the new growth might well be Poncirus trifoliata.Its a totally hardy rootstock that a lot of citrus are grafted onto.A picture would help.

Well, greengage, I think.Back in late June 2017, these greengages and cherry plums were so delicious...... that I decided we had to have them growing in our own community garden.The fruits came from trees that were originally planted on the housing estate for their ornamental value -...

Don't throw it, grow it!Steve...

Thanks ricky101. I didn't think about the soil. Back to the drawing board.

You are indeed a devotee @sandymac and we are both looking forward to the yield from@JWK s Gardeners Delight, Jenny

I agree :D Also, to be honest, while his book makes plenty of sense, in my limited understanding of gardening, Sutton's retails under his range a bunch of stuff he never really mentioned in the book :D

Thank you all for your help, cheers
