Ive got tumblers and gartenperle this yr just to keep the kids out of the green house im hoping they will be easy to keep watered

Good to know - we've been saving glass jars with a view to making sauces out of the tomatoes and peppers, so freezing is another good idea to save us having too many sauces. Cheers

I grew outdoor ridge last year (market more) they will grow outside once it warms up a bit, however I grew two of them indoors on stainless fishing trace in 10" pots, they cropped more than the other four outside put together, tho the ones outside did crop ok in the end. I would say (if you...

Between Ziggy and Kristen, ALL my leeky doubts have been resolved.

That's great thanks, I'll try and make it a bit warmer in there as well and water less, I did what you said with the pots so fingers crossed they will be fine. Thanks for the advice

Just found some basic info on cordons, you can grow double & triple ones, it didn't say how to but it looks from the pic that you'd cut back to a bud about 6 inches & take it from there. Also, net against finches picking the buds off & Mr Blackbird nicking the fruit. I'm only growing...

cheers vince thats helped me out loads , off to the garden center for me it is

If you don't have the room to grow potatoes then don't, there are lots of other veg that are best straight out of the garden, if it is just the cost then you will eat healthier with home grown. It is amazing that potatoes are still the same price they were 25 years ago, in fact when the weather...

Mine are just starting to show aswell as I didn`t start them until mid April, the same as last year ,we will get chillis just later and probably not as many.Also someone is sending me some scotch bonnet, I will sow them when they get here.

stole the skates kind lady gave me celery

Scotland is further away.

I was thinking fo the Tomato seedlings - oncve the whitefly have swapped from the Walking Stick to the Toms !

Some gardeners too, methinks

Armpit cuttings? Yeah ... works well. You could help out your locally Garden Centre by "pinching out" the sideshoots for them to save them a job Fair chance that they will bear their first truss lower down the plant than a seed-sown plant ... so you get more trusses before the plant hits the...

Welcome to the forum It depends on how long they remain waterlogged, they will be OK for a few days.Any chance of digging a sump or allowing the water to drain off to a lower part of the garden?

I would go to poundland/poundstrechers/homebargains/wilcos or B and M Then buy some sets 75 for a pound, three different varieties available Mine have come on great, at present my FIRST SUCCESS (Better not count my chickens before they have hatched though) I have 150 planted normally, and...

Water from the base if possible (stand in a saucer of water for 10 minutes - don't forget them though, they won't like becoming water logged), rather than watering from above.

Thats the trouble with raspberries they need their own space. Its often a good idea to dig up the old stems and replant the more vigous parts every few years. I found that they very quickly get infected with virus which leads to smaller and less fruit. So a replant with new stock can quite...

It'll be in the same place for many years so dig in a bucket of well rotted manure or compost & some Blood, Fish & Bonemeal before planting. Then give it a dressing of high potash fertiliser every spring. Failing that, some wood ash & another handfull of B,F & B. You'll need to net it as the...

Hi Guys, I have some realy large and leafy spring cabbage which are just starting to heart up, but there is some type of mildew or soft rot attacking them, it starts anywhere on the leaves and spreads to the heart of the plant. It is wet and slimmy. Has anybody got an idea of what it is please
