Edible Gardening

Hi AndyThanks for the reply I will bin the lot (still producing some fruit so I'll hang fire a bit though) Thanks again Sheelagh :wink:

No it doesn't Bovril on the other hand .... in a sandwich with crunchy cucumber slices - now you're talking! And whilst on the subject of Spam - with or without tomatoes - my Mother (a bit of a 'closet snob') would never buy Spam, she always went for the 'Chopped Ham and Pork Luncheon Meat'...

Yes - I find it's better to keep all my brassicas together, I net them to keep off pigeons. Also from the crop rotation point of view it makes sense to keep all the same family of plants in one bed.

MY wife reports 55,bs. 11 ozs picked so far this season, will we make the half hundredweight?

Hi im from the island and yep the garlic farm is selling loads of different types and you can buy it direct from them I got some the other day not the cheapist but defo worth it

It is coming on well. Your runner beans are looking superb.

Yes thanks John, that does help. I am tempted to leave the patch to do it's own thing over winter and then feed and plant up in the spring. In the meantime I think we will try our hand at growing some veg in containers for now.thanks again,Gazania

How do you get them that big though?

Great looking carrots Capney - and good tomatoes too.

Great tips Ziggy. Beetroot in it's natural form seems to be an aquired taste amongst my family & friends, I love it though!

LOveryL!! Sorry about that.

Enjoy

Oh groan........... :lollol:

Hi Pam This works for me.. Just spread them on some kitchen paper and let them dry. They will stick to the paper very well. Once dry ID the paper with what they are and store them dark and dry. Next spring.. Just cut the paper with the seeds as required and plant the seeds and paper... Simple...

Cant help much I'm afraid, but I'm thinking the problems might be more of pruning regarding the apples and pears rather than feeding. Pruning can be complicated and you need to know the variety.I think plums can become biennial bearing if not treated correctly also.I'm sure someone can put...

This guy's got bigger chillis than me :dh: YouTube - autumn veg garden

Give it a go and see what happens, Lolly. I've grow lots of veg in part shade. They don't do as well, but as long as there is decent light and some direct sun you should get a crop from most veg. The only things that aren't even worth trying are toms, chillis etc.

Hard luck Chris, I have had the same disappointing results as Alice even growing them in a greenhouse, I've tried three or four times over the years - but always failed. I think this year is bad for grey moulds, in the garden - too much rain and not enough sun.

I had a good crop of Bunyards exhibition but pollinated them with a paint brush. This year I saw plenty of Bees but the dry spell just messed it all up. My Aquadulce Claudia were great too but I really had to put the work in this year to make sure they were pollinated

Na these leaves have just photosynthasised and are are dying off as all wild brassicas do.
