Edible Gardening

Not for this year, but maybe next! They do look pretty. Thank you

When the spears poke up in the Spring (exactly when depends on your area/climate), you can take a stem or two from each plant. (Before the pointy end starts opening out). If the plants are big and strong, you can do it again this year. That will probably be it for 2020, but as long as the fern...

I used to grow them and they made a very good soup. We don't grow any root veg nowadays As they discolour so easily it's best to dip them in acidulated water when preparing them.

Sorry to hear that @Vince - I can easily send you a fresh packet so don't worry.

That's ok,anytime have a good Sunday.

I have myself grown carrots in partly rotted manure, many times before and have stated as such many times here on GC. Still many people will quote that doing so causes "forking", because it is enshrined in folklore and over time it itself becomes "law" and is quoted often in many publications. I...

I have found chives, rhubarb and tarragon have grown OK in shade. Reading about what to grow in shade for food before I found that as a general rule crops that are harvested as leaves or roots can do OK as it is more the plants that need a longer growing season and more light to produce fruit...

Neeps, maybe, if your in Scotland?

Last season I grew Super Marmalade, Crystal,Ferline & Shirley. Shirley was the best Taste & cropper........Crystal is the one I won't grow again. Hope this helps Paul.

Autumn fruiting raspberries fruit on the new growth. Prune after they have fruited - mine are now due for pruning. Leave the new shoots - you will get your fruit on these canes next year.

Our tub of carrots grew an unusual specimen.

Can't help you on the Summer variety's all I can say is they are pruned differently, I didn't fancy growing summer varietys because the increased chance of maggots being in the fruit.Maybe you could double crop your Autumn variety's ? cut half of the stems to the ground and leave the other...

Hi mike ok think l leave boris cuttings alone lol those secateures are ouch indeed

You certainly get some good results my friend, and everything looks so healthy. Long gone are my veggie growing days. Root veg often would cause a laugh, where mishapes were dug up. The weather at times played hell with the potato crop. Dry season and most turned out like moth balls. Wet...

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the advice and encouragement, I have to say Im getting excited about it now. Unfortunately I didn't get anything done over the weekend had a bit of a family emergency but all is back to normal now. I have decided on an area, for no at least. I am going to take an...

Ate my last Glacier tomato yesterday and kept a few seed too. Under the grow lights January.

I think, I uploaded more of the good ones from there. if interested I can continue.

In many instances, it will depend on just how close the Peppers are to ripening naturally - some just need a nudge so the table by the window would suffice.

Agree with @noisette47 , though you could let a few of those 12" tall shoot grow on and they will likely give some summer fruit as well as the new autumn fruiting shoots that come up in spring.Believe there is little difference between summer and autumn types, just that the Bliss can give good...

Just wish to let fellow "newbies" know, I found...... any green tom you grow will ripen, even down to 1in (25mm) diameter toms (in fact my small toms are exceedingly sweet!) A few ripened on the bush, the rest ripened on a sunny window-ledge or under the settee in the living-room in the...
