Cheers.

As you have other chilli plants I'd be inclined to get rid of the plant and spray your other plants with a detergent solution - after taking them outside (I'm guessing they are under cover).Before using the detergent solution just give them a light hosing down after checking them carefully...

I love both nettle and comfray last year I transplanted some lettuce and I was sulking like mad then I have a good nettle tea and within a day they was up all healthy and green now I use them all the time pumpkins love them too

The book arrived and it's very good. I think I'll forget about the Damson, I've heard from a friend that they're only good for jams. I may just get three trees or maybe another Apple.Had a rethink on the columnar tree for Apples as well, I want M26s now.

Thanks for the input. I think what I'll do next year is try different varieties as well as use a different fertiliser.

Don't be in a rush to sow early in the year - warm soil makes a big difference to germination.That's a pretty much a given for home grown sweetcorn (make sure you don't pick it until the pan of water is on the stove, and boiling, it loses it sweetness if you "store" it).But its a...

Thank you! All very useful advice :-)The plants we inherited have been so prolific I would hate to damage them!

Good evening Sheal and thank you my friend,much appreciated as always

Your Cut & Paste so much easier to understand than the original

I didn't notice it amongst the Wyevale 50p seed sale.

I have grown them in the past and found them sensitive to cold at the end of the season and formed the opinion it was that as much as allowing the pods to stay on that stopped them producing. However, I'm rubbish at growing French beans, they are right temperamental things.I think borlottis...
