Edible Gardening

I decided against it in the end and have used a john innes instead, will just have to make sure I keep up with the watering

Good suggestion Janet Companion planting is something I do here too

There are some raspberries that are grown in containers eg Raspberry Ruby Beauty - a Dwarf Summer Fruiting Raspberry grow bags are ok but leave it in the pot insome good compost I am growing my veg and fruits in containers and they doing well despite the weather

Calling a stinking liquid made from raw decomposed weeds a "tea" would be besmirching the good name of my beloved PG Tips.Therefore, if you are going to all the trouble of producing your own liquid feed then you might as well take that small extra step and give it a descriptive name that...

thanks all, I thought I had better check

Thanks! That is very good to know, I am glad I will not need to remove them next year. In the end, I agree that June bearers are better as for the fruits. Ours did very well last year. But a costant supply of berries over the Summer is a very attractive perspective, it might help luring my kid...

Thanks! I do not have much space indoor and no greenhouse, but I think you are right, that is my only chance. I will transfer them all in larger pots and give them plenty of sun.Hopefully, I will be able to tell them apart eventually. It is a pity because I had all my limited planting spaces...

My Cucumbers are getting the same Selleri, I'll wait a couple of weeks and then they go into the blowaway house.

We love dwarf beans, great idea!

I don't grow them these days. But I would be doing it now if l did.

Thanks for that. I've just had to do some pruning and have a load of scion wood. Would be a shame for it to go to waste.

Thanks Mike, I will make sure to remove the envelope at the time of planting then. At the moment, I have only 8 seeds in Jiffy (bush tomatoes), it has been a week and they have not developed yet.But I have 15 or so corn and squash plants germinating in small 6cm pots (in potting soil). I will...

I never heard of drainpipes pots before. Actually, looking at pictures, they look very decorative too! And they keep your plants away from slugs and other pests, which is great. If I had drainpipes in the garden, I would certainly consider getting a few

I found out about the molasses in James Wong's book, "Grow for flavour". Accordingly to him, aside of feeding the plants, it helps beneficial bacteria too. Having no experience with other products, I can only compare with some expensive strawberry feed I bought a few years ago, and molasses...

@Verdun sorry for my slow response thanks for your advice. I do have seedlings to start a new bed so I will plan on just starting again. Guess I'll wait until this year's harvest is finished before tearing the bed out. Sad but.. YUM

Sorry for the late answer!Let me know how it works out, I am actually curious. I am visiting Italy over the next weeks, so I might even pick a few wild plants up and see how they fare here in the UK. Interestingly, years ago my wife managed to transplant to our garden some cuttlings from...

Yes I am limited for space and now health isn't so good. Used to grow most of the 'Berries' when working a large allottment with my father, but that was over fifty years ago. Also whe employed by the MOD. As with home grown produce, you can always tell the difference.

Thanks guys! Some of them are still bare canes so hoping they are still viable and wake up soon! The golden raspberries I planted already have leaves budding so hoping they work! Any tips on what I should do as one is fallgold and the other is malling promise. So a primo and floricane. ...

I've just pulled the last of those leeks planted in clumps, and I've now pricked out so many Leeks that I'll once again pricking some out into clumps, thought I'd re-visit this thread.

I have put the two bags of manure into my two compost bins and spread the Fish Blood and Bone around the canes and have spread the compost on top.
