Edible Gardening

Thanks for that folks, just what i was after much appreciated

I have a feeling you've hit the nail on the head. They were grown in the greenhouse, so your theory is probably bang on.

I bought some plugs off ebay this time last year and they did very well. I think that would be your best bet.

They need the cold to help them divide into cloves

Thanks for that info. I will keep and eye on them I keep getting daily blight report in area for past 32 days of a Smiths ? My tatties look very green and healthy foilage, some dug up are very clean clear skins Jack McH

Same here at the moment, not in the clouds but feels like it. Had to put polythene back over my onions so they can ripen, its crazy.

Hiya Richard. A pic would really help:WINK1:

I have had 2 crops from the ground and my latest one is also in a 2ft plastic trough, but these are struggling. Rusty

They make a great cat umbrella too.

Living 'in the country', my daughters (like me) were taught from an early age what they could pick and eat and what they couldn't. Even in their relatively short lives, I've noticed less and less opportunities for hedgerow 'foraging', however, that doesn't mean that many of these edible plants...

Advice taken and will act upon. Thanks Richard

Haha lol meant chill lol.....oh dear

Thanks Madahhia Yes i think i will do that. Like you say, nothing to lose. The butternut squash i tried growing in there last year was a complete waste of time so... The plan is to leave that compost bin doing nothing but growing these artichokes from here on in anyway. There is no...

Home base here have little hessian sacks of Jamie Oliver seed potatoes, supposed to have sold in Mar/Apr so are on offer, £1 a bag (about ten seed tatties) they only have about six bags left though, so maybe worth a looksee down your way clueless Jack McH

Awsome.....i've been picking beans for a couple days now, nothing like fresh, right out of the garden!

I've heard that it is poor pollination that causes the fruit to be disformed. There are a few of my strawberries in pots that are slightly deformed. They still taste sweet and juicy. The other thing i've noticed about mines is that the outside skin splits on them. Can anyone advise on this?

Hi WOO. I didn't know you grew a bit of veg? King Edwards are main crop, so normally harvested a bit later on. But, what the heck! You want them, you have them Edit : There's something deeply satisfying about digging up fresh potatoes

Hiya Mark I don't know what others think, but to me they look ready. Cheers...Freddy

Yes, nip the tops off and you'll get more growing shoots coming from lower down. With the plants that are just stalks - leave them there and they are likely to grow more shoots later on. If you have any spare seeds there is still time to plant them for a late crop if you don't get early...
