Edible Gardening

smashing, cheers vince!!

I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and raise the plants in the greenhouse. he tip about planting a seed for each plant is a a good one, should be warm enough by then.

Sam, my tree is about 4m tall. With judicious pruning, it's easy enough to keep them shorter.

Thanks for.the replies I will get them sorted next week Cheers

After growing them from seed many years ago I still get plants self seeding on the allotment each year. They are very easy to grow and overwinter if grown in a pot. In fact you get a better crop the second year as the plants are fairly slow starters. You can have ripe fruit from August...

That'll probably be an M27 rootstock for the apples then

Indeed, I also don't buy-in Brassica or Leek plants ... just in case.

Thanks for that.

Yep, they've had plenty cold, i'm tempted to take a couple out and stick them in a pot somewhere warmer, ie my blowaway greenhouse and see if they come on faster, if at all. I don't want to end up without! Those i grew myself last year, and planted this year, are looking fab along with my...

i can never bring myself to chuck seedlings out i always end up sowing ton's more than i need (i think everyone does) so every year i have to make emergency seed trays/pots from cereal boxes, milk cartons ect and when the weathers mild enough pop them in a sheltered spot in the garden to grow...

I don't find them difficult I just plant four on top of my compost heap and forget about them,unless the weather is exceptionally dry then I water them.My suggestion to you is dig an18" square hole under each plant and bang a big dollop of (chocolate/chocolate cake/soup/ manure) then cover...

The seeds that i sent, were OP and were also a later season pepper, mine at first looked like a cayenne but was infact the peter pepper.

Damp kitchen paper in a Tupperware bog. As soon as the root appears I pop them into MPC in newspaper pots (newspaper rolled around an aerosol can) and harden off and plant out by the moment the first true leaf appears [any later and the taproot will be protruding from the bottom of the "pot"] ...

I've tried several varieties over-Winter, over the years. The only variety that has been a success for me is Aquadulce, and I don't bother with other varieties any more as I like to start mine off early, albeit in an unheated greenhouse rather than outside

a lovely endorphine rush then :D

Awesome i look forward to seeing the outcome as soon as i get a laptop and camera working again i will get some pics up f the grow so far this year :D

Moruga scorpion is not the worlds hottest again im afraid, The trinidad scorpion moruga blend is one of the hottest though unfortunately they are different strains, but look exactly the same, and are marketed as the same by unscrupulous sellers. They are all far from mild and anyone who can eat...

Small pellets black in colour and all over the place where they go.

Yeah, I would give them a try, but they're definitely not pretty with blackfly on.

Ah, that's great thanks. Exactly what I was looking for
