Edible Gardening

I like Marmande, grew them last year, and growing them this year. Out of 9 peppers and chillies, just two have seedlings :(

Agreed, Pete, Agreed:D

Welcome to GC!If you don't know what mushrooms they are then don't eat them. They probably won;t harm the peppers but I'd remove them personally. Good luck with the gardening!

I'll try some early ones, kept "chilly", next year, and some sown later, and see what happens.I have some Melons this year that got chilly (I thought the corridor where they were was warm enough, but there was a gap under the outside door, so think they may have been in a cold draught back in...

Not a bad idea there; I got a new mattress the other day and the corner were protected with a material that could be used for this!Hmm, 4 corner, 4 radishes... I need more mattressesThey weren't over wintered John, might try that this year though.

Yup, that's it.The plant should then devote its energy to ripening the fruit already on the plant rather than growing / flowering more as well.

Yup, it will definitely work, and it will save you greenhouse space as you say.The only issue is that the cuttings will be 6 - 8 weeks behind the parent plants.If that is time enough for your crop then that's fineYou are possibly also opening them up to blight - i.e. if blight...

:D Hi Moopants, You can make your own feed for nothing. Get a large bucket or plastic dustbin (just got 4 of those off freecycle) Fill it full of water & press all your weeds into it. If you've got Comfrey & Nettles nearby then they will really help. Smells like a dead Badger with B.O. ...

Ok thanks for your help. Sounds like I'm better off working on the wigwam. I think it's slightly more difficult because it's in a pot and I am limited by the width of the base. Will I be ok to plant them out soon (based in the Midlands)? I'm hardening them off during the day.

Awww - you say the nicest things! My family just think I'm a tight-fisted old biddy (which, let's be honest, is true!). I see it as an experiment, they won't have liked being moved .. again, but at least I'll learn something from the experience.

tee hee

These were saved seeds from a bought squash. Looked like a Waltham. I have run out of space so planted them out, as seen. on a wall. Silly me.

We have a huge problem with pigeons eating ours and like you they don't bother with the lettuces we have to cover all brassicas with wire netting on our allotment, never got a shotgun when ya need one, lol.
