Edible Gardening

Ah yeah I see your mistake. You're thinking of my Gotta Koala thread on the amateur marsupial keeper forum. No problem though. Easy mistake to make.

Anybody grow ramps i.e Allium tricoccum? I've got the European ramsons or wild garlic - Allium ursinum - in a shady spot in the garden and it does very well - self-seeds quite prolifically - but I've tried to grow the North American A. tricoccum from seed twice now with no joy. I planted them...

I will roast several with dinner see how they are. If they're any good I may pickle the rest.

Received my veggie seed order this week (Carol's flower seed order too [she was looking over my shoulder!] when making my purchase), got my seed potatoes today, Charlotte & Cara along with 15 potato grow bags, looks like silly growing season is just around the corner? Lights, Heat and Compost!!!!!

We had fruit from ours but not worth the effort! Tiny.

Oh dear, was ordering my veggie seed BUT Carol looked over my shoulder, now a lot poorer with HER flower seed order!

That's kind of you. You almost certainly know more than I do. Mrs Shiney is the one that knows a lot more.That rickshaw driver was bemoaning the fact that he had five (panj) daughters and no sons. All in Hindi, which Mrs Shiney was translating for me as he was speaking.

Sounds like you are on the right path now then My lounge window where mine overwinters is east facing sohas the morning sun.. The room is warm and it isn’t near a radiator or anything and seems quite happy... I hope yours will pick up a bit now too if you are putting it in a warmer atmosphere....

I planted three outdoor varieties last year and they didn't grow a great deal. At the same time father in law planted a greenhouse variety and that has grown over 8 feet in a year. Mine are a longer term project to cover this and hopefully provide a bit of shade. You can see them at the base...

Hi,They say strawbs need a period of cold, so I would leave them outside for a couple of weeks while this current cold spell is on, and then repot and bring any you want into the greenhouse.Leave some outside so you have a succession of fruits.Those in the greenhouse will need hand...

You are a lady with style and pizzazz ... my sort of gardening!

Yeah, well I spose the goat willow leaf is most like a blueberry leaf, which could have caused a bit of confusion ..... mind you I am very very easily confused anyway.

Unless you’re looking at growing large onions, I see no reason why you couldn’t sow them after your move. Pretty sure I’ve sown at the beginning of March in the past, and produced decent sized onions.

Thank you ricky we will have to call in occasionally we call to Tankersley its not much further up the road, i used to fish at Worsbrough dam had some nice roach out of there.

Much the same as MF.However some gardeners, novice or experienced have different procedures to planting. Whatever method or under whatever conditions the seed is sown really has little influence.Come planting out time. Well dug over area, light treading down of the soil to firm. Then...

I've done nothing at all with them this year, my whole crop is in the freezer .... Apart from the care packages I have sent out to people.Thanks

I only saw the Kennebecs mentioned in the article, unless I missed something too. No surprise in that I guess its one of their more popular varieties, and mine too after growing them this year.Steve...Second paragraph: "Propagation tests were made with the varieties Kennebec, Netted Gem,...
