Edible Gardening

Nice one Dave W...Isn't it just a good feeling seeing that you have just grown those

Sorry, nearly fell into a song there

I grew Maris Bard potatoes last year Jenny and got a good harvest from them,My father grew them this year and also got a good harvest from them..I sure do Recommend this variety

I grew first earlys Pentland Javelin potatoes this year and got a good harvest from them..as for strawberries Elsanta is a good cropper to try in containers

Neah, you want the copper on the outside of your tomatoes, not the inside!

Very interesting adam, it's not a variety I've grown before and I like the sound of it. I think your one odd plant is a throwback, that's the trouble with heritage plants as they are not maintained by a breeder any more they will be variable, so you get a few that are different each year,...

The rot spread and the top started to wilt. I hacked the plant down at the weekend and rescued the large tomatoes. the rest went straight into the green bin. No signs of the same thing on any other plants. Yet.

Amazing really, what a bag of chicken moo poo can do for the palette.

Can you not smoke them to death without killing the cues? That looks like the cold frame u built onto your house? You could open it to the heavens and wash away their sins?

Good evening Rosietutu Yes it is called June drop but it happens in August as for not keeping well that's not a problem as they will not be on the tree long,its apple and rhubarb pie for themIts a mid-season apple,ready to cook September,leave it until October and its ready to eat from the...

Probably not ripe yet, my onion seeds are still green in the pods (look the same as your leeks)

I've had this same problem this year, perhaps worse because my tree is heavily laden with fruit??Either way it appeared on some fruit long before they were ripe, I removed all that I could reach and disposed of them which did the trick but as the fruits are now ripening its back with a vengeance

Hi zigs I will pull it next year(its the only thing I will pull)Sorry about this joviality ,I got right to the root of the matter

How they do love their pogies! I gave them their daily throw and it is a scene - every one down to the tiniest chick is off with one to some neutral spot, tearing it to swallowable pieces. My s kinds of brassicas are sprouted - I am starting them in trays and I worry I am too early.

Signs are now that it may be a useless harvest for this year's veg

This is a quick tasty recipe for courgettes, but not particularly cheap! Using a potato peeler, cut ribbons lengthwise off the courgettes, discarding the seedy middle bit if they're big. Marinade the ribbons with crushed garlic, pine nuts, basil leaves, salt, pepper and olive oil for 10-30...

They did? Nice one

Could be earwigs a number of times I have picked reasonable sized bell peppers and cut them open to find a number of earwigs that had eaten the seeds. I would pick and use the ones with withered stalks as soon as possible.

Thanks for the replies I will get some tomorrow.Rusty
