Edible Gardening

um.....no, but thanks anyway I was just interested coz there's often cucumber threads on the forum and its all down to the type indoor/outdoor/male flowers on/male flowers off I'm growing "Market more" its an outdoor ridge cucumber, I'm growing it indoors and outdoors just to hedge my bets, the...

Thanks guys; it appears to be the ones that tried flowering that are fading from green to yellow/brown so I think I'll have them out first and leave the others a little longer..:thumb:Oh and yes they were grown from sets..

Thanks for advice have clcosed the bag up.

Bridgend has 2 HUGE ***cos we only have a large shed in Port Talbot, have to go to Llansamlett

They are called bulbils/bulblets (they can also form on the scapes if left on) and can be re-planted to grow into garlic, but it will take a couple of years (round 1st year & bulbs 2nd year). If you leave them out of the ground for too long the skins will harden and make them less likely to...

Be careful, courgette porn can keep you awake at night!

Thanks for the advice. To be on the safe side I have binned the plant.

I've never heard of Feltham First doing that before. There only saving grace is that they are the earliest/quickest to mature variety from a really early sowing normally.

You could just put the stone in a polythene bag (the re-sealable type) with some damp vermiculite and put it in the airing cupboard or on a boiler; somewhere warm.Wait until they germinate and then pot them up and keep them somewhere warm and light but out of direct sunlight.I've done...

Looking good there Golfer

I had problems with mine as well, it seems it isn't just here in the NW where the potatoes have had a problem. :(

well, depends how big the holes and how many of them. If they're turning your potato plants into a sieve, I'd be a bit worried. Because as I said earlier on you need the green bit to photosynthesize and produce all the sugars that are to be stored in the tubers. Otherwise you'll only harvest...

use normal white cabbage, or even green there's no such thing as ukrainian cabbage like carrots or potatoes, they're ubiquitous

I'd agree with John there, mash it all up, put it the fridge and use it as a spread to keep double glazing salesmen at bay. Got a jar of it in my fridge, don't have to worry about it keeping as it gets used pretty quickly.

Glad it's worked out Lisa. It's difficult to grow perfect plants, especially vegetables. They can tolerate the loss of a few leaves.

I am very pleased with these potatoes this year, the first time I've grown them actually, they are really tasty and I'd highly reccomend. In fact I've ordered some some more for an August sowing and hopefully new pots for Xmas.

Haha. No, basically I stuck the severed plant into a pint glass of water. There's some soil at the bottom of the glass that has fallen off the plant, and it's in my conservatory. It has gone on to keep producing flowers and small courgettes but I think the end is near!

I'll be planting the mustard later in the year Ziggy, thanks for that. I'm still trying to clear the weeds and dig ready for the taties... maybe not today though eh, much too hot. There's lots of less strenuous jobs to do. Got tomorrow off work so maybe it'll be cooler. I think it's a long...

I wouldn't worry too much about your yield of spuds this year, it seems to have been a common trend with earlies; probably due to the long dry spells through March and April, as long as what you have got are tasty :D that's all that matters. Mine were the same, excellent quality, just not as...

Yes its surplus which i planted last Oct Morado also Wight Garlic and Germiouder.
