We all like a good crop from our 'edibles', but I was just wondering if I'm the only 'saddo' in the village? (as my family have taken to calling...
A quick walk round this morning and I pick a couple of pounds of runner beans, notice a few blooms on my wisteria (that'll be the third lot this...
You're very welcome. No-one knows it all -a quick look here proves we're all still learning. Just look at it this way, if you can dig a hole...
Thank you all for your replies - she'll be delighted to be able to grow something edible (other than a few leggy herbs!). In a previous life...
Please bear in mind I haven't seen these - but my daughter tells me she's '...been given some pepper, or perhaps they're chilli, cuttings which...
Hi Gavin - welcome. It's easy to work out whether your soil is 'dry' or 'wet'. First of all look at it after it's rained or you've watered -...

I'm not sure about French beans, (I'm sure someone else will know) but although I've never bothered, I remember my Dad used to wait until his...
I bought some cheap greenhouse staging from Wilkos (£10 - it's only 28cm x 106 cm)) which I've put in a 'quiet' corner. I've wrapped around the...

In addition to a cylinder mower, I've also got a Flymo 'Vision Compact 330' - which actually gives very reasonable 'stripes'.
In everyone's garden, except mine!! No prizes for guessing what I'll be doing today. Thanks for that.
You're right. It's the 'mmmming' her way round the garden as she eats everything in sight, (well, that and her hair) that, for me, makes her...
Just because they're there, and because I can - I've collected a huge quantity of both lupin and aquilegia seeds. It matters not if they 'come...
I'm so used to watering my 'crops', that not until I'd almost finished last evening, did I realise it was actually drizzling and not - as I had...
Too right Doghouse. In another life I worked for a number of years in the Serious Fraud Office and you'd be surprised (or perhaps you wouldn't),...
It partly depends on the variety of apple, early ripening ones (like Worcesters or Discovery) won't store at all (but then in my garden the...
