Edible Gardening

my late dad used to also use the beetroot leaves (he was a really good cook) boil the leaves for a few minutes.... strain, squeeze fresh lemon juice, a good dollop of extra virgin olive oil, some salt (from a grinder) nd a good grinding of peppercorns you will be surprised .... tastes as...

Not much in it if I recal correctly. The Lady plot holder is a member here now I believe (I dont know what registration name she has used) so maybe she will see this and comment herself. Steve...

Should have posted a photo so here's one I made earlier......

Sounds like a good plan, even if those two sightings are not confirmed, the blight can not be far away now with all this wet.All my earlies are ready (foliage yellowed removed) and I just had a furtle in my maincrop and was surprised to find the first tuber I came to is 3 and a bit inches in...

Pros and cons of my set-up were discusssed here:

thanks to you all for your replys paul

Mildew problems here too.Rather annoying, plenty of breeze, and keep them watered and they should be okay, I'm giving up spraying them with anything to control it on mine.I've seen it on massive patches in market gardens before, but we just kept harvesting no problems like everyone has said.

Ripening will delay new fruits setting, so the choice is yours.I'd let a few ripen, but use them green from some of the plants, so as to keep the plants moving.

I grow Silverskin for pickling. Usually about 300 per season, which gives me 10 medium jars. They'll be up in about 2-3 weeks time when they're all roughly half a golf ball size. They need a minimum of 3 months in the jar before eating to ensure they're all pickled. Sarsons make pickling...

Also you can sow Lettuce, Spinach, Rocket, Radishes, Kale and Spring Greens now.

It could be that your leaf curl is just natural, they do tend to do that when they are growing very fast at this time of year, at the top of the plant. Maybe a photo would help us confirm.

Yes it will start again, it just needs time to recover. These modern all female cucumbers tend to 'stall' after they produce the first flush of fruit.I always pick off the first 3 or 4 embryonic fruit which does slightly delay getting them, but the plant then goes full steam ahead and...

I used diluted washing up liquid on my Broad Beans which suddenly became covered with black fly overnight!! Wiped them out in no time leaving a few for the ladybirds to feast on.

"earlies" are the first potatoes in the growing season (eaten as new potatoes) starting in Jan/Feb if you are lucky enough to live in the Channel Isles. Being the first in the season the yield is very low, they are eaten as little tender tasty 'new' potatoes. They don't store very well."second...

Well a week with no food and little/less water has worked wonders, the large plants are now setting tons of peppersPlant Potty.

I know, that was so bad Dai. Still, you guys defeated the last invasion of the British Isles
