Edible Gardening

I've potted them all up in 9cm pots, and they are in the greenhouse for now to hopefully give them that extra wee shove to get them going. I'll get a crack at making the strawberry tree hopefully later this week, so that it is ready for them to move into.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. yeah I've seen the pumpkin challenge page I've ordered some seeds that were recommended on there, so ill probably plant some more. The seedlings seem to be growing fine they only had there baby leaves when I planted them into the ground and the pic I posted was...

I use the "Morrisons" round flower buckets for my tomatoes. 8 for a pound is the going rate I think.

Thanks Palustris

Thanks all I will try the cloche method, direct into the ground beans then cloche Jack McH

cheers all - will give it a bash...

Thanks mum. I am growing them just to eat not for showing. I will try as they are I can always pull up and put sand in at a later date if they are no good.Rusty

Something I do have an abundance of is grape vines and to go with them you also need an abundance of patience. They are very rewarding, especially if you are a wine maker, and will give you years of enjoyment.

Cheers Zig - yeah have been watering them with the hose. Looked a bit silly last few days watering my chicken wire in the rain!

I've got the urge to try again. I love fresh pineapple, just a shame they don't love me.

What sort of spacing should peas and broad beans be planted out at?

I am growing mine in big pots in the polytunnel as it seems they tend to die off in our harsh winters.

Any thoughts please? Since our weather is so good this week I've been putting them out in the sunshine through the daySent from my GT-N7000

Cabbage whites love my Goosgogs!

It reminded me of this character

I'm going to have a guess that the leaves are mottled with papery brown patches because of the cold weather we've been having.

Awww.... they wanted to be together

If it's a well-established bed, heather, you should be OK chopping the ferns to stimulate more spears. It's relatively early in the cropping season (given the late spring) and as long as you let them fern up and die off naturally in the autumn, they should be fine next year.

I find 1 plant ontop of last years compost heap seems to do well just leave it to its own devices
