Edible Gardening

Only prob I've had was when I'd one in our polytunnel and found several big fat caterpillars munching on the flowers. Never really had any significant problems with bugs on the ones I've grown outside.

ok thanks for your reply

That's a shame Walter, it's hard when things go wrong.

Well done, hope they turn out well.

Thank you all, some good ideas there - as always. Dave

Thanks Kristen

hi, loofah, i spent the day in the garden yesterday and repotted my goosberry back in the pot, i uprooted it, but i'm really confused as the what the root system is supposed to look like. On mine its more of a stump than a root system, there appears to be nothing trailing from stump as...

Not Long John Silver but Captain Cuthbert Collingwood (thought Jack would have known that one).

My route is to pot on when needed - i.e. the roots are filling the pot - by about 1.5" - 2" more diameter (engouh that you can get your fingers in between the original rootball and the side of the new pot to work the compost down). Reason being that the plant is then able to "drink" the water...

Very interesting information, thanks Atticus Cheers, Tony.

I wonder how many years you'd get sent down for spraying all this lot on your lobjoits:

That's it

My Gooseberries have curled leaves on the new shoots as well. The berries are growing well so I am not worrying about the curl. I'm just grateful they're fruiting. Last year was the first time after 7 years of nothing. Last year the neighbour hacked 40' off his Beech tree and the bushes saw...

Ahhhh Sir Zigmyster Good to post again, been really busy with work and study and not really growing anything this year, just wishing to keep what I have ticking along so not been in. Hope all is well in Zigland and good to hear from you oh and remove the spammer if you need to as was no good...

I intend to get them re-potted today or tomorrow (keeping the pots nice and damp 'til then) - I am amazed how fast they are growing though!
