Edible Gardening

I thought it could have possibly been a variety that needed planting in Autumn?Going through the cold of winter before really making a move. Which in effect was what it did.

Probably not often enough. If growing in containers them once a day more likely and, if it pots in a greenhouse, then probably twice a day in hot weather.

I.figured it out last night when I inspected a leaf close enough for it to split 10 maggots out like a crazy spaghetti factory. Little suckers got slung and the rest got pressed a'tween finger and thumb once I discovered their weakness. They have booger all leaves really, now. Hopes up. I think...

Maybe the conditions are too humid. More air in the greenhouse might sort out the fruit problem also, along with good watering.

I wont,thanks colne planted them today I will get one

I pointed out those stupid garlic in pots to Mrs Scrungee (when we were last at our nearest GCG about 5 weeks ago) as a ridiculous idea/waste of money. Far too late to plant, they wont produce bulbs this year, only 'rounds' (a swollen, round, undivided clove that hasn't bulbed up) which will...

Thanks Pete

With lack of pollinators Apples tend to go biennial (no idea why that would be, either Pollen works, or not? ). I think this is especially true of "Self pollinators" and personally I think it would be better if they were not sold like that. Apples (well, most/all?? fruit trees) pollinate...

Yes, that looks like a fine way to spend a day. I'm only there for two full days, so stuff the castles and vineyards, and I'll go to this festival one day and the tomato festival the other. Thank you.

Must be good for Butterflies I guessNo poisonous Crucifers as far as I know

It's almost July, so harvest dates below are based on 1st July planting.First earlies 10-12 weeks from planting to maturity. Harvest mid to late September. Second earlies about 16 weeks. Harvest end October. Maincrop 18-20 weeks. Harvest mid to late November.Although I have put harvest...

We, also, don't bother collecting veggie seeds from our plants and buy cheaply through ebay or seed packet sales at end of season. Cheap, bulk buys can be shared with friends although I always use all the bulk purchase of runner bean seeds (500 for £5.99 ).Tomato seeds are the exception. ...

Yes that's the image, thanks, and yes that sounds like the problem, think I'll prune first, them the scrubbing brush and then attack them with chemicals Thank you very much,Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I like having arming growing out my sides! But my tomatoes are in the garden so I can stake their arms widely apart. I do remove the side shoots of cordon/vine/indeterminate types. One reason this is recommended is to allow sunlight onto the immature fruit to ripen them and another is so that...

If they're left on the plant chillies start to shrivel once they have reached full maturity. It could simply be just that. They need picking and eating . I'd prefer to look on the bright side and hope that they are just mature chillies.That chilli in the front does look as though it may be...

It does seem like they race up the canes - within days of planting them (well ... of them "starting to climb" which may be a while after planting if it is cold etc.). And then they leaf-up and start flowering & fruiting

Well we decided to harvest today (mostly due to impatience haha)We got a washing up basin full! A fair haul! Some teeny tiny, others a decent size. We baked all the tiny ones tonightin garlic and had a salad with them. Mmmm! Fair enjoyed them!

Load those pellets, it's pigeon pie for tea.

Yup. If you have to many runners per plant (or you don't want any at all) chop off the excess ones.
