Edible Gardening

Gently scrape some of the bark off with your thumb nail near the bottom, hopefully you will see some green, if it`s brown it`s probably dead.

5 degrees is just a guess but that would be the bare minimum of heat in the attic. I am fairly new to Horticulture and these are the first ever plants i have grown from seed i just panicked when i seen the wrinkly foliage on one since the other never went that way. If it looks fine then i will...

Hi ZigsMany thanks for the response. Yeah, bad timing on the weather!So, will it not matter that the roots will be pointing downward into the soil, rather than horizontally along a trench (like when I planted my raspberries) to help the new canes pop up?Thanks againMax

I transplant them in a raising bed outside the greenhouse which has been covered with a light fleece.

Thanks, will do.

Thank you folks, and I'd never heard of them before redwing

My concern would be, what has it already been treated with in the past.

We sent a Butternut squash off with our daughter to uni in September 2014, she still hadn't used it when she returned in May the following year, and we finally ate it in June 2015 when it was almost 1 year old.And some people complain about shops not having use by dates on their veg. because...

Thanks yeah they were mentioned in that dementia program but I wanted to grow them because they look good and seem interesting plants to grow. I enjoy growing the usual plants but I really enjoy growing unusual or different things. Thanks Nigel they look great. I'll probably try to grow them at...

Scrungee knows best:

Get 5th packet freeI can't find mention of £5 codes still being issued with each order, but they were still doing it last week. @Cannyfullpots If you want to 'borrow' a £5 code PM me and I'll PM it back, but please send me the one you receive after ordering (if still being issued).This...

The one of those that I was given relies on the lower part of the rolled newspaper being scrunched in to form a base to the 'pot' rendering unsuitable for sowing parsnips in, unlike cardboard tubes which are open at the base allowing the root to grow out.

The previous owners of this house grew enough fruit and vegetables in the garden not only to be self sufficient, but to sell to neighbours also. As part of this, they left us with two large chest freezers, and also two large cold stores. The smallest of which was 6 cubic metres, and kept a year...

i think i would just buy a tub of ckicken pellets and spread them liberally now a couple of weeks ahead of planting. Maybe a handful blood fish and bone too.As for the slugs, i just disturb them and leave them for the birds to clear up. some say less digginig is better for the soil but im not...

Thank you @JWK I don't have a big plot, just my 4.56 x 8m back garden. I'm sitting here wondering how much of that I'll use to grow veg in and how much for somewhere to sit while I watch my dogs playing. There's gravel down one side - 2m wide x the full 4.56m long. That's the sunniest side of...

Apparently that's my job

From the photo it appears the clips may be upside down. I have the same type of greenhouse with the same clips and have not lost a panel in seven years. When installed correctly the clips fit so tight that they press into the panel and hold it secure. You might check the installation of the...

i gotta a chance of a piece of cake
