Edible Gardening

@Webmaster Every single previous UK supplier of Kondor seed potatoes have now either removed them from their lists of varieties they hope to have for 2018, or confirmed that they are unable to source them.EDIT: The breeder rights expired in 2014, this could mean nobody will put the investment...

Batches, my friend; batches Thank you. I tried a version of that one year with a fuchsia in a pot (to prevent slugs); I smeared the rim with a thick layer of Vaseline. Never knew whether it really worked or not, but moving the pot when I'd forgotten it was there was a right mucky...

Last parsnip left in the garden and a few sprouts too, roll on next year.

If making use of cloches, small tunnels, fleece, weed suppressant/soil warming membranes, bird/butterfly ñetting, etc., it can be advantageous to plan your raised bed sizes around the sizes of products/materials available.

Thats about the same age as my rhubarb patch, and I've no idea of the variety either. At a guess, it would be "Victoria." It certainly has the characteristics of that one.Perhaps things are different here, but "Timperly Early" is regarded as having poor taste and poor harvest. Theres a variety...

Can't say for the rest of the UK @pete but as far as I'm concerned regarding"what's going on??" it's called winter in Scotland.

Lori,When you dig that sprout plant up, it's roots will help you.I was told by a gardener on our allotment site that their roots can go down to 2 feet, this ties in with what Freddy said about spacing, so 2 feet down and 2 feet between plants. The old timers had it right with double digging,...

Agree I spent a considerable amount of my life being competitive on the sports field and now find it completely non stressful and fun to grow my own veg non competitively. If they look good well that's a bonus, but there is absolutely no disputing that my veg tastes vastly better than shop...

Agree with the Kelsae but for tomato I prefer steak sandwich

Hi All Thanks for the replies, I see so there are 2 problems blight and wireworm larvae. Bee Happy. Not quite enough meet there for meThanks again all of you

What is a potimarron?

My Russet tree has cropped well this year, already pressed 160 lbs, another 110 lbs today, have approx. 140 lbs ready to press and there's still some on the tree (probably under it by the end of today's winds).Looks like being a 1,000 lbs year for pressing from all of my trees and surplus...

Okay, I see. I will research a bit more into it I think. Thank you once again for an informative answer!I think I will go with the inorganic fertilizer this time since I have it. Then I might try organic next year or when I run out of it. I will soon post a new drawing of my system.

How are you storing them JWK?

Build a bridge out of it

Thanks John , I'll add sarpo to my 2018 plant plan and get my seed potatoes early Feb. I'll plant them in a couple of 30 litre trugs I have.

Wow how time has flown past but little changed! Nothing really new except chickens were added to one side and some raspberry plants too! They done ok I guess, great fruit but would love more!This year I have it covered in plastic to kill off some of the bind weed and other nasties that have...

It was a bad here for blight down south too, all my outdoor tomatoes got it. I am annoyed with myself because previous years I've sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture and had plenty of spray left, I kept telling myself to do it but never got round to it - I've gone doodleally already.I did see your...

Sounds like it would suit my patio, thank you!
