What you see is the first years fruiting. All I need to do now is get it right for next year!

I presume because it si dwarf it will also be fast maturing, and the packet I've got here does indeed say sow until end July.I sow my Broad beans in the Autumn, and overwinter, for an early crop - that largely avoids Blackfly, which Spring-sown crops suffer from. Dunno if Blackfly will also...

Pomodoro costoluto fiorentino Thats an Italian tomato... I got a packet from Burton Agnes today not really knowing what I got. I know its a bit out of season, but, can I ask if any of our tomato growers have grown these before? Any hints or tips? Thankyou robert

When I was at the Eden project a week or so ago, I saw that they were growing ginger there in the outdoor section. That said, the Eden project is in Cornwall which tends to get warmer weather than most of the country, and it is in a big hole (the site of a long since closed china clay mine if...

Excellent thanks for the help!

Brilliant thanks :thumb:I fed them with the miracle grow form the hose gun this morning. Will that suffice until they start producing, when I would swap to tomorite.

Thanks for this, guys. Will give a couple of them a go then, but definitely not all 6! Wouldn't be able to move in the conservatory otherwise!

Yes,you can plant other crops.I'm planting potatoes,cabbage and squash in the garden.Actually,it's my mom crops but i help her whenever i have time.

I'm sure you can.Make sure you ready the new place on your house to transfer the crops.I got the same problem before.I do transfer some and i just left the others for the new family who will live on our old house.

Started eating my Maris Peer about a week ago that were planted the first week in March. One plant yielding enough for two meals for the three of us and enough left for a couple of my favourite sandwiches. Cold new potatoes with grated cheddar between a couple of slices of wholemeal bread and...

I agree, ignore the curly leaves ...

Jane, they send out a long runner, which you can pick up and move so you can train it to grow where you want. You have to pollinate them in order to get fruit, in a few weeks time you will start getting male and female flowers (females have a tiny pumpkin behind the flower), pick off an open...
