Edible Gardening

Me either, much. However, Sungold do it for me, so sweet. Tonight, I had some of my Rosada roasted in Olive Oil, oh boy!

they didnt flower but there late varieties so I think they died before they got that far - the potatos in the field up the road are just flowering now

Glad you're on my side Blacksmith because I would have defended their case to the death!! Jenny

Yes

This is the first time that I've got a Sprekelia to bloom - treat 'em mean seems to work!!

I've had a similar experience, it's so difficult to find and so much better than the Russian tarragon it's worth holding on to if you can. Like you I searched for seed without success and eventually managed to find plants in a farmers market, pretty rare in garden centres etc. The other rare...

No flower = no chilli.

Second thoughts, I think it was an early variety I planted in August to get a late crop.

Yes I grow exhibition Kelsaes BUT not for exhibition! I also grow other varieties too! Long Red Florence and Bedfordshire Champion.......... I grow for taste and the myth Kelsaes won't store is just that.... a myth! I grow all my onions from seed and with the exception of this years...

I hate you lot! my garlic was an almost waste of space, I prefer onions anyway and will stick with them cos I ain't bad at growing them, unlike garlic! Garlic likes the same conditions as onions? enough said, the onions took the onion bed, garlic had to fend for itself in a obscure part of the...

Go for it, just make sure it's an over wintering variety!

Yup, grown from sets both years. I do have a couple of rows grown from seed this year. Steve...

We have a ginormouse grape vine growing in the largest of our greenhouses. It was already there from the previous owners. We virtually do nothing to it except tidy it up after it dies back. A friend of ours takes the ripe grapes for wine and some of the leaves too. It looks like they used wire...

Hello, This has happened to my outdoor tomatoes in the past, I remove the leaves and give them a good feed of good quality tomato feed. Happy Gardening

I have an el-cheapo weather station hooked up to Wunderground so I can worry about the weather in my garden, specifically, all the time I'm away!!

That's great Sigord, thank you, I never thought to dry ordinary garden mint this way. I do make fresh mint sauce sometimes. I dry my peppermint in the microwave as that makes great tea and keeps its fragrance and colour. I lay individual leaves out onto kitchen paper on the mw turn table and...

Thanks clueless1 - I had spinache with the rhubarb last couple of years in same bed, they seemed to like each other but spinache gone to see this year so am renewing the bed and planting spinache in another bed. Hi shiney thanks to you also, I had raspberries a few years agon and decided...

12) Garlic plants don't indulge in sex.

I harvested my spuds a bit early this year as at least one plant got blackleg disease so I harvested early to avoid losing the lot. Since then, in a different patch of ground, I've started off some more. They are so far doing very well, so maybe all is not lost. This is the first time I've...

Homebase manure is great but pricey, I prefer to get "free" stuff straight from the stable and give it a few months to rot down.
