Do well

When I say wet, its not sodden, it will dry out, I guess in the winter it kinda collect it, and I think on the other side the tree roots drink it up, I have put loads of manure down, about 4 or 5 barrow loads (cant remember) but I did put a lot in, im lucky a farmer dumps it there for us

What Vince said. Although I sow mine in a seed tray and then prick out to small modules (about 1cm square I would guess) at the crook-neck stage. If you have sown directly in modules then just thin to one-per-module. When you plant out the roots will probably be all coiled round at the bottom...

Yeaas, If you mean you put the spuds under the leaf mulch so they will be protected from the heat of composting then the spuds will reproduce themselves without top growth, just taking the nutrients from the soil. They'll be smaller than regularly grown ones mind.

Anyway his seeds are more expensiveAverage seed count: 25 Our price: £0.99p I get 50 for that

Cauli,Broccoli and cabbage planted last Tuesday in unheated greenhouse.Mostly germinated by Saturday now I have moved them to coldframe, leaving the lid shut for a couple of days and then will open the lid a few inches and then seed trays will be dumped outside for another week and if all is...

Yeah, may is traditionally the sowign time, but they'll be ready by September perhaps? but will "stand" over winter. Personally I think they come-ready far too early, for me Swede is a winter veg, and I don't want to be eating it until the Frosts get here ...

I eat them at 3 leaves...200 plants make a nice sandwich! Steve... Disclaimer: Comments on this post should be taken as humour only!

Remove the flowers asap, because the plant is putting all it's energy into flowering, also once it has flowered the plant will die off. Just snap off the flowers and hopefully the kale will produce more leaves instead. It's good to pull off the leaves too, it encourages more growth, especially...

Thanks,I'll sow some tomorrow,the red ones look very ripe

You could always grow stuff in containers, which you can put in the part of the garden which gets the most sun. Have a look here for some ideas. Have a look at the Edible Garden forum as well.

Cheers Becks Hmm might give one a bash...

I read on this forum that its best (faster) to seed them in pots in the greenhouse or window sill then plant them out in clumps, I'd already seeded mine last year when I read that, but this year I'm gonna seed them in plastic mushroom boxs coz they look an ok debth and are square, therefore the...

If it's a single shoot it should develop into a bulb of garlic (unless it's a bulbil from Elephant Garlic, which will first grow into a round, then a bulb the year after). If they're in a location where they can grow on, I'll leave them where they are, and if there's more than one I'll carefully...

Do you pay a celery - or is it on a commission basis only?

Well I have had the same patch down the back garden for err err 1971 42 years, and it has only doubled from six half inch sized sticks per crown to ten 1.5" sticks per crown, and the spread is from half a square meter to a square meter I have done nothing too it other than crop it and give it...
