Edible Gardening

What sort of broccoli is it? Not that I know anything about it but 90days seems quick so I'm interested in that, or do they all take that length of time?

The size sounds normal for Sweet Million, you need to feed at least once a week or better still (if you have time) twice a week at half strength. Main thing is to make sure they don't dry out.

I give credit where it`s due.:gnthb::hehe::hehe:

It`s all coming along nicely.:yho::yho:

Thank you both, I just don't remember my Dad's spuds having quite so much 'up top'. It's true, those in the spare bit of ground probably are starving - it's p*** poor soil and I basically planted them to break up the soil for me. I'll give 'em a feed - everything else has had one!

That's reassuring JWK, I was hoping the fact that it wasn't spreading was a good sign. That's what my dad keeps saying Pete but I'm a bit obssessed with not having any chemicals in my garden, the potatoes are right beside my courgettes, beetroot & peas! I know it's a bit silly saying as I eat...

next years fruits will be on the new shoots. if you want to keep the plant best leave them alone. they do take over the planet though loopy

Welcome to the forum Sip. Everybody has their own ideas, I think you are too late to get pears this year but If you have flowers I would just leave them and enjoy them. I don't think it will harm the tree. Pears are usually a long term project, hence the phrase, plant pears for your heirs. I...

I experimented with overwintering runners, but I lifted them and stored them almost dry in the greenhouse a bit like dahlias as holly said.As I remember each root grew half a dozen or more stems, with all that lot growing from one root I never got any earlier beans, they only cropped around...

I have grown them and although the plants themselves looked fine, the flowers and pods were very few.

Thanks guys! There's a fair amount of baby courgettes at the moment, I didn't want to end up with nothing after seeing them grow thus far!

Many thanks to all for your ideas. Seadog

100 plants! :ntwrth:My favourite in previous years has been Golden Sunrise. I'm trying Sungold for the first time this year which hasn't ripened yet but I'm hoping they will be better. Also I'm growing Floridty for the first time which won the RHS Wisley tasting trials. I've got three...

Thanks Riggaz, for your kind words :o. I always believe in experimenting. Most of the time my experiments don't work but it is very rewarding when they do . Re our garden: we open it for a local charity each year in the late spring (end of May Bank Holiday) and posted a preview of it a...

I've got my fingers crossed for you :thumb:.

Why is he calling me a lady?????And what's a "gound tyhem"?I'm a teapot ! I'm a tea-pot !Seriously, Bluestar, thanks for trying to help but you're two years too late!

Hi OBG. You say the peppers are rotting from the bottom. Do you mean the end the flowers started from ? I think you are talking about Blossom End Rot. A complicated subject which has been well discussed before. Have a Google under BER or on this forum. If we can be of further help do come back...
