Edible Gardening

We've had one slight frost since planting out, I was ready for it and took necessary action. My outdoor plants are now about 3x the size of the greenhouse ones and I too utilise a system similar to shiney's

Thanks people.My mate now knows what he's going to be doing over the next bank holiday weekend.S

Plants stop taking on water when they dont need it. If you keep giving it water then the roots rot as it is in too much water or it drowns

I don't know why it's never grown as a crop here, seems it's not difficult. Will you reort back how you get on? www.motherearthnews.com/Organic...05.../Buckwheat.aspx This gives some very useful info, you might have to cut & paste, can't do a link!

See this link it should help >

Typical me - I was out buying royal pythons and missed it! Grrr! Hope next week is good - I will bookmark it and watch it then
