Edible Gardening

Got Blight on my Tomatoes yesterday.There have been no warnings in my postcode area since May. There was in the next postcode area a month ago, maybe it has taken that long for the blight to take effect?

Hi,any ideas on what has attacked my Victoria plum tree,it's also riddled with greenfly but I have no idea what this black stuff is it did flower but there are no signs of fruit, thanks xSent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

But then again in pic two it does appear to have courgette and potato encroaching on it.

@ChilliPepper You are right that the soft neck store better but they just don't do well for me in Paignton. Grew them successfully in Essex. The hardneck are more productive for me and when they begin to sprout around Christmas I peel and freeze them. I plant my garlic in November about a...

Many varieties of chard are actually not chard at all, but leaf beet, basically the same plant as beetroot but cultivated for its leaves rather than its roots.Beet leafs are extraordinarily good for you. Their high potassium level is excellent for regulating heart rate, and something in there...

A late frost might have got to them Plenty of cherries down here.

I think it needs more compost in as after watching youtube, I can see that the root ball is exposed.The only garden area I have floods constantly, and even when it's been warm and dry for a period of time, the ground is still very wet and boggy.When would it be advisable to transplant if I...

I agree with John, almost definitely scorched. As a point of reference, once my indoor tomatoes get going, I leave the door open all the time, unless it's forecast to drop below 10c at night.

Thank you both!We do have longer summers (start sooner and finish later), so...Yesterday evening I soaked the bed, and will do so again tonight (high of 31 degrees yesterday, and today will probably be 34), and I will pop a few new seeds in the now-moist soil.

Thanks. I will have a look to see if I can spot any caterpillars on them. I need to spray something on the plants quick as the leaves are starting to look like net curtains.

Should keep cropping as long as you pick them off, it'll give up if it thinks its set seed.Might need a liquid feed though

Hahaha

Thank you @JWK and @Scrungee I will pull out that one. No use growing it any further.

pete I assumed it was as Scrungee described:

Start those seeds off a bit earlier - mid to late summer, they are hardier plants than Cauliflower so you transplant them to their final position in the autumn.

They'll be ready about 5 minutes before Mr Blackbird has them away

Hi Rebaka, don't forget to protect them also during growth to avoid damage. A simple structure in wood wood like the one above would be perfect.

You can get slow release fertilizer pellets which I think are really aimed at things like flower containers, might be worth trying next year

A strange year for me. Plums 0 Nashi 0 Apples a few Pears0 Blueberries minimal Gooseberies plenty Redcurrants didnt set so 0 Blackcurrants a few (heaving with fruit last year so exhausted ? ) Raspberries are hanging in fruit as there are loads of bumble bees on them but 0 bees.

James Grieve is one I have, seems a very reliable cropper, mine is quite small due to me being impatient and wanting apples when it was young, but covered in fruit. I have thinned them out to two per bud as suggested by Monty the other night, just to give the tree a chance.
