It was probably just a slug or snail on it @ricky101 Good looking leek though - what variety?

Ok, thank you all, will put them in a room with no heating and should be ok.

Thanks for advice.. I will take a risk when whethers better in planting in with my dwarffruit trees and Im also going to try plant some in a terracotta planter pyramid Ive created.. Im hoping to have different kinds of strawberries so i have some all seasons if at all possible... Hope it does

It all depends on how many flowers there are, if it's just a few I'd leave them.

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...

I grow a lot of Spinach, the quick growing annual type. I don't do anything special to the soil, no compost or fertiliser. I grow it in succession as after a few weeks it runs to seed. As for varieties I have success with Amazon, although others do ok too.I do the same thing with Rocket and...

They need to be spaced out to grow really big, like this grower does

I'm very grateful for all input and advice, I can think over winter what to do.

Hi Glynne i would second seed parade and i also get good seed ,service from Nick's nursery Rgds Sandy

Cucamelons Mike to look at are miniature water melons ,delicate netted markings in green ,very effective actually. They are at the biggest an inch long and about half inch wide.quite thick skinned and all is eaten. I find them ok with salads but not a fruity type. I find the taste bland. More of...

Not tried those, thought about it but not worth the bother as i give 95% of chilies away, tried various sprays based on seaweed and other organic ingredients, both home made and professional. Garlic smoke bombs etc. I use nematodes every year for slugs so not adverse to biological controls....

It's usually the opposite problem.....keeping up with and removing them Lovely, tasty variety, though

Thanks @Scrungee

Should add I've got a Muscat Bleu 3 yrs old now, got the first real crop this year. Quite impressed, very early and good sized berries that dont require much thinning, down side is the pips.

Look like 'Mumpkins' or 'Parrows', an open pollinated cross between marrows and pumpkins.Often happens if seed saving when growing both and not bagging/tying the flowers before and after pollination.Marrows can turn yellow, but when oldish, and those ones look young, so probably the result...

My Rhubarb is about 35 years, grown from the seed of a flowered plant harvested, with permission, from a garden in the Village of Tissington. The owner told me he'd forgotten the name of the variety but due to the size it grows I've christened it "Tissington Giant"I've divided it several...

Cheers Pete, saves me going hunting for stuff to cover them

many thaks for your replys i dont think its a bird problem as the whole area is netted due to cat issues , how would we find out if it is a bug issue thanks for your advice

The rules say that the green part can not exceed the length of the blanched part so the leaves had to be cut.

many thanks for your help and advice
