It's time for a strawberry bed refresh, and I'm considering Marshalls "misted tips" that are supposed to give a better first year crop than trad...
It's just started shooting from the stem! I don't know, but I expect I will end up with several growing points. The reason it is still small for...
:hehe: Well it's all mulched and netted and pegged now. Panic fatigue has set in. They'll have to take their chances now.
Er, no. I was hoping a thorough watering-in would do the same job, by making the soil flow a bit.
Phew! Just got back from an emergency slug pellet run, and I'm happy to say they are looking fine. Thanks anyway.
Yesterday I spent a longish session planting out some little cabbages. I dug the soil over, carefully removing any weed roots, tilled it down to a...
Yup. Soap spray for me too. You can buy "Savona" concentrated soap through Amazon. Much cheaper in the long run than those ready to use hand...
My first earlies put up buds that dropped off before blooming, and I'm getting loads of really nice new potatoes. Have a look at one plant. You...
But homegrown coriander seed has so very much more zing than the tired old packet stuff. Keep it in a brown paper bag though, else it'll go mouldy.
I know that's true of uncooked red kidney beans. They can make anybody extremely ill. According to Wikipedia, raw broad beans will only adversely...
Don't know what they are, but one guy's spuds on our site are smothered in flowers like a field of white begonias! My Red Duke of York sent up...
Great! I love 'em too. I find broad beans come ready about the same time as globe artichokes and go well together topped with a bit of fried black...
It caught some sort of die-back disease and went from a large productive plant last year to 95% dead this spring. The only cause I can think of is...
My only comment would be to make sure you sterilize your secateurs before pruning a goosegog. Wish I had.
Hi David, yes I think mine are getting going a bit more now as well. I expect they will green-up as they grow on. As I understand it, BF&B is slow...
fruiting already. I'm impressed.
Yes, me too. Assuming they're not nitrogen-starved, and I know mine aren't, I suspect they'll get going shortly. It maybe still a touch cool for them.
That would be broad beans, if you like them. Personally I love 'em, but I know not everyone feels that way.
Don't know if this will actually help but sometimes having registered your interest in a specific plot on a site will do more than just waiting....
Well, I agree with MickyV. They'll probably come good.
