Edible Gardening

I have had this too before so I started leaving them a week or so before boiling and the seam a lot better

I gave them another spray yesterday, and have fed them today with Miracle Gro as I got the feeling that they (along with other stuff) was deficient in nitrogen. They are already looking perkier, so fingers crossed.

My lemon drops must have heard me - two of them are turning yellow! Still don't have much fruit though.

Would they be happy on the shady side, or would they want the sunnier side (for all the sun we get over winter)?What about swede for the shadier border?

The carrots are cooking in my slow cooker as we post! Along with a bunch of green beans from my garden. Mmmm mmm !Sent from my GT-N7000

Taking the bottom leaves off might improve airflow around the plants. It`d be less favourable for fungus and keeping leaves off the soil is good from a blight point of view. Toms dont need light to ripen so its not going to help with that

In addition to John's advice if you harvest on a dry day just leave them on the soil surface for a few hours. Hardens the skins before they get knocked together in the storage sack / bag. Don't leave them there for days though or they will all go green !

True! And I do have a few things, beetroot, Aubergines, tomatoes, spring onions and coriander

Europeans?Thought it was Prince and the Revolution.Gonna slice em, salt em & fry em

That compost will be short of nutrients now, you will be better to start with fresh.

I'd do it in autumn

I certainly will! Also, although they are grown as an annual, they apparently produce a tuber which can be over wintered. They are really worth growing and would be great for hiding a fence as the vines are densely covered in leaves but are not heavy. They where a little slow for the first...

Use a very thick bottomed pan and the lowest heat your cooker will go to. She often has trouble with Chutney burning as our Hob just will not go low enough.

Anyone got a nice recipe for courgettes and tomatoes?

Just pick and eat them, they're fine, nothing to worry about!Blanch and freeze any surplus though, I've just done a load and have loads more to pick and freeze, the more you pick the more you get, Enjoy!

Hi All,We finally moved house earlier this year and have a single butternut squash plant. It is in a pot as I knew they spread and didn't want it to take up the whole of the 6x4 raised veg bed. It's trailing nicely across the gravel with one nicely expanding fruit. Two smaller fruit were...

This is the 2 plants, the one in the left is dinky!Finally one courgette seems to be growing betterSent from my GT-N7000

Patience is the key word

Haha, very true. That'd be funny.

How about - eat it?
