Edible Gardening

@Marley Farley we have no shortage of wind up here . Luckily my garden is sheltered but gd to know about that.

I should qualify that, move outdoors during the day and bring into your house over-night.

Enjoy your strawberries.....you will need plenty of clotted cream, Cornish of course

I always try and keep the soil level low when sowing squash/etc. seeds, so when they sprout I can top up with MPC to support the plants.

I planted one in mid summer last year in a neglected semi shady spot. It looked dead on arrival and did nothing all year. Suddenly this spring it has come to life. Apparently you need to cross pollinate so I bought another pair still in their pot and put them besides it. I just checked and it...

Thanks @pete appriciate the advice

Personally I think its one of those plants that needs a longer growing season than we can give it in the UK. Consistent heat is probably another issue, rather than one sunny day followed by cool cloudy days.

I have never heard of pleached fruit trees, but I bought a number of cordons a couple of years ago, and it turns out one of the apples is an espalier. I got 5 bare root trees for £25.Both pleaching and espalier are inventive methods of tree shaping, which is defined as the art of pruning and...

My raised beds suffer similar root invasion from an adjacent philadelphus and dry soil from a wall. The effect is clearly graduated with the soil closest to the wall worst affected and likewise the plants. I divide my rasied beds area into 2 areas and plant my fast growing, hungry veg away from...

I have no problem with any of Morrisons plants. You just need to get them before they have managed to kill them.

Might give that a go too ,cheers Pete.

They look to be growing really strongly, not sure why you are molly-codling them though. I planted sets out a few weeks ago before the cold spell with some shallots and they are peeping through now (sturon and setton varieties). Some autumn planted ones are well away now with the warm spell we...

I've damsons next to a plum. They are both flowering and I can't tell the difference just looking - but I know which is which, maybe someone locally knows what it is?

AI live 20 mins from the largest Mushroom growing area in the USA.

You've been cheating, no wonder your cucumbers look a damn sight better than mine. My poor wee souls have been having to cope with the spare room (unheated) which can get guy chilly!

I grow the variety 'All Year Round' - does OK down here silu.

Well, more of @"M"s came up than my gloden ones

Sow in a pot, transplant to modules then plant out later, I've tried direct sown and it does not work for me.Sorry for late reply, I have been away.Steve...
