Edible Gardening

Been to the allotment today. I bought sweetcorn to plant, there was 30 in the tray, I replanted them 2 days ago & they are all having a major huffy!! Havent got a pic but will try get one later on.Theyre all bowing down - unfortunately not for me as am hardly the queen of gardening !Why oh...

Hmmmm weird fat controller. My mum killed ours by watering it with tap water because she forgot it should only be watered with rain water lolIf you wanted to get another one yougarden do three 9cm pot plants for £20 so at least you will have two back ups lol

well, it turned out that the flower spikes were the least of my worries!My bulbs got massive, couldn't believe the size of them. I reassured myself that the onions with the flower spikes could be used to make an onion gravy with the middle spike/crunchy bit thrown away until i started to...

I don't bother, there are more productive things to do instead

Thanks for your reply! I've noticed that my posting was badly worded. The trees that I’ve, finally, decided on are as follows (I had no idea what they might be when I asked the question, which is why I didn’t say!):- Pear - Conference 10'-12' in 10yrs Damson – Merryweather – choice of...

I think I'll stick to a couple of dustbins, a fair bit cheaper!I've heard you should swear when sowing Basil seeds as otherwise they won't grow

The feeder roots are at the top so put it into the top of the bags.

This year I thought I'd try a Monogerm variety 'Solo' ...still needed thinning out though but maybe not as much.Still worth growing from seed though

@Lorea I may well try that this year, although maybe instead of direct sowing I'll sow in pots.

Sounds like a good thing to do Harry

That's really interesting I would never have thought that, when mine were ready like you I just pulled them all up, ate some and froze the rest.... a new learning!

Now that's a good tip, thank you @Loofah

That's similar to what happened to me, it was a really really windy day, and my packet of peas got blown all over the garden. After that peas were randomly spawning everywhere.

Trying to find the 'paperwork' they came with. My friend is asking about the rootstock so she can give me more bespoke advice. Need to know how to train and prune them. I have to say, they do look well. Dead chuffed.

Don't worry, it's perfectley 'normal', if that's what you can call reproduction without sex. Pips from a previous Germidour crop

Terrible smell, there are signs on the Singapore underground banning Durians!

My first pineberry strawberries are finally ripe!!!!!and i was skeptical about them tasting like pineapples but they really do. they are lovely!!Going to make sure i make more plants from these. they taste beautiful

They can be a little triffid-esque, do you know what variety it is that you bought?Steve...

Perhaps it's the variety then?

I agree, I remember my Dad growing them at that time of year, and we use to go to the allotment and cut what we needed, when we needed I understand what your saying as freshly picked is the best but I use (local farm grown) and now my own from frozen in many of my homemade dishes all through...
