Edible Gardening

@miraflores I had another go at them last year:

Any thing can be grown in a raised bed

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...

This is the first time that I've got a Sprekelia to bloom - treat 'em mean seems to work!!

Even the ones without any outer casing adhering to the shells needed placing in a stack of plastic mushroom boxes a couple of nuts deep to dry out, or the shells (and kernels) go mouldy if put straight into baskets. We've already shelled and eaten (raw + cookies) about 1 Kg, going to give away...

If you specifically want big 'uns, Kelsae are still the best

My lemon cucumber has gotten to the point I tied a string for it to climb! The straight 8 and marketmore (I think) that died/were eaten have not been replaced yet - I am growing them in 2 gallon pots till they are robust enough for the problems of where they go. But one is on the way up! Also...

Kristen, Freddy......so on the whole none of us are overly impressed about the growing of them. Good luck next year Freddy, let's hope you have more success then. I'll start thinking about what else I can try.

Shelled the seed crops of the Bridgwater beansBest pic my annoyingly out of focus camera would take Also shelled the tongue of fire beans, but the camera wasn't having any of that

Is that the beetroot or the pink sheep ? YouTube- Virginia's Favorite Sheep Song ~ We Will Shear You Incidentally, for Sussexgardener & others, the above video was shot at the weald & downland museum, the wishing well is fake though.

One had a hole (slug maybe) which needed boring out otherwise completely solid.Sorry I just planted any old how, so I don't know which part of the sliced up seed tuber produced it. I dug up half a dozen roots to see us through Christmas and they were a bit variable, some had fewer tubers than...

Good idea:

Tamar organics are selling them for £3.95 for 1.5 kg

Good one @Mark56 May be a bit difficult to measure that monster.

We are eating (from the allotment): Parsnips, Sprouts, Cabbages and Potatoes - from my home plot we are still working our way slowly through the giant onions, most of which we froze. Yesterday we tried the dried tomatoes I made during the summer, they were delicious, bursting with flavour -...

What a whopper!!! Owen Olsen from Kaiserslautern won the contest for growing the heaviest pumpkin in Germany. His entry in the Pumpkin Weighing Contest on Sunday weighed 406,2 kilos!

That's where I got my seeds from ricky

Well I am just updating my threads...things going ok...one of my runner beans is now making good progress up the canes...I had to start the other two canes off again as the cold/wind/slugs got 'em!! I also had a 'spare' runner bean and so am attempting to get it to gtow up the drainpipe in the...
