Edible Gardening

Completely agree with this; I've also grown them for a while and they need a good year to establish properly before giving the harvest you expect. I would also thin that patch out a bit and add a bit of manure if you can. You can pot the runners so they don't congest the more mature plants.I...

I want to start an area on my allotment for edible fruits from the Chilean Valdivian rainforest. Perhaps the most well known of these is Ugni molinae 'Ka-Pow' also known as the Chilean Guava. I also want to cultivate Luma apiculata (Chilean Myrtle) as the berries are edible and fragrant... other...

Our Russets aren't normally ripe until the end of October.

store them like potatoes. in a cold cellar. they keep for a long time.

You been taking them out boat fishing?

Need a growing fix have just put heating in my conservatory or as my wife calls it in house greenhouse :-) it's south facing have got a thermostatic propagator and grow lights if needed just fancied growing some thing different any ideas would be great ?

He he thanks @KandyThe allotment is next on my list of tasks to tidy up...has been neglected except for harvesting the last few weeks!

@Scrungee the thermostat is on the back of the heater.I converted if from propane to natural gas because I have a natural gas line out back which was originally for the bbq and now I use in the cold weather for the heater. I was very curious because it would be a bonus to be able to circulate...

Is it possible to plant thing's like Kale,Cabage's or Broccoli now if I plant the seed's in toilet roll holder's and put on a shelf in front of the window in my shed and I do have some heated propagator's if that would be better.

They should be fine, toms very rarely cross

The cowculator stamps that out as 1.503kg.This is remarkable for a PPE result. I think you've elevated furtling to a new art form.

I went to our local garden centre yesterday and took a few samples of my raspberry bushes and they said it was probably a fungus. and suggested I prune them right down now and clear all the dead leaves and branches and put some manure around them and leave and hopefully that will work if not...

Won't be able to get them under any glass this year, too many projects on the go. Mara des Bois are everbearing so I guess they just keep flowering until the weather goes bad. I notice my blackberries are still flowering as well

I'd hazzard a guess based on when it starts growing but that would only tell if it was an early or later variety

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

Well this has to be my gadget of 2017..!! For every 1lb of Cherry plum tomatoes I get a very ample double serving of passata just right for the two of us..? A little fresh pasta and a meal in minutes if you have fresh basil onions and pasta.!It cost all of £15.. Saves all the blanching...

Received a quick reply from Ken Muir.We are not aware of any problems with our Glen Ample canes and have found it to be a very reliable variety. We cannot obviously comment on those canes purchased elsewhere. It is always important to plant raspberries in a fresh bed, away from where...

@Green Fingered Blogger I think it's down to the weather, I always suffer to some degree.
