Why Do Seedless Grapes Sometimes Have Seeds? - Tasting Table

I have been growing 3 tomato plants (at least!) in each growbag (x3) for many years & always get good results! I've done the same this year & the plants are growing very well. One, from a self-sown seedling, is now over a metre tall & has 4 trusses, 3 of which have tomatoes on them.This year...

hallo, sorry for late reply -- my pear is about 10 years old, i,ve had it for 5 years -- i think it needs an other pollinator nearby which i was not told about/did not know about -- so i think i will sell it to a gardening friend who has room for two trees in her garden & i shall opt for a...

Grape vines are remarkably tough and tolerant of soil conditions; I've seen them growing in everything from well mulched borders in a greenhouse, to sunbaked thin soil on schist. Have been advised that you should throw a dead animal into the planting hole toget the vineoff to a good start. They...

Yes, of course if you want to.

If you decide to buy some strawberry plants it would be best to get them started in late summer so that they get rooted before winter and be raring to go next spring.

Thanks again everyone, much appreciated.

@ricky101 , Aminopyralid has also been found in bagged composted manure and could potentially be found in general (bagged) compost. Just sayin’…

Thanks all. I have a number of young plants right now and it's only over the past few days that they've started flowering. Mostly producing male flowers but a few female too (four so far) so I've been fertilizing manually using a very small and soft paintbrush.As an aside, today another female...

Oh, I can let you have some cuttings.

My plot was used as a horse pasture for a few years before i got it, that may have helped a little

Morning, yes all done. It was very easy so hopefully it'll still fruit! Thanks for your advice

I put in a series of drain holes along the bottom I did see some worms as I was turning it over too. I didn't really want to brim it too much so as to keep the soil from spilling onto the patio when my 11 year old starts "farming" it If it settles a bit I'll try and add some soil

I never have much luck sowing peas straight in the ground, either too cold and they rot or mice eat them. If the mice miss them the pigeons won't.I start mine in pots in the greenhouse and transplant when they are about 6" tall. I sow about a dozen in a 5" pot.

First couple of carrots harvested today, not winning any competitions but look good and taste great. The rest still have a while to go. Thanks for all the advise!

I'll be using mine on the potatoes if we have another really cold snap, as they won't all fit in the greenhouse now.
