I can't see any problem with using your 6X manure scotty, give it a go :thumb:

Yes, you will still be able to plant spuds now and they will do well. Have a look in Wilkinsons, our nearest branch had quite a few bags of seed spuds still available.

Legend are good for growing in a greenhouse because they are parthenocarpic (don't need pollinating). You can allow some side shoots but left to their own devices can spread up to 3ft which is not practical in a greenhouse. If planted outdoors you can leave them if you have the space and...

finally managed to post a picture - not sure how!!My peas wigwam!!

"So early in the yea"We've had two days during May for almost all of the last 5 years ... so don't despair too easily!

Flinty i grew swedes on my virgin soil last year planted seed where i wanted them to grow thinned to 8in apart got really big and then lost them all to toprot at least i think it was. you wouldent have known there was anything wrong untill tried to pull one for sunday lunch, the tops came...

Has it got a Fruit behind it? If not, and if its a Female Indoor variety, I think you are going to have to murder it :(I picked by first cucumber today. Really tasty compared to the manky thing in the fridge from the supermarket

hi bashy i would lift one now. cut of the bottom and seperate lovely and fresh spring onions,good luck

Dave - raised beds will not help against carrot or turnip fly. You need to cover the crop with fleece or enviromesh to prevent the fly landing and laying eggs. It will be really interesting to see if your solar sterilisation works on your onion white rot. I tried all sorts of methods of...

Oooh a reason to get the "big" camera out.... i'm in

Great thread guys, I came on here with a question and its already answered. Mine are all over the place now, I couldnt fit more soil in the bins if I tried so I suppose thats it for earthing up my charlotte potatoes. The desiree have a way to go-they are in a proper bed, although, to be...

I'm also going with rabbits, they'll strip your greens given an invitation! (An invitation is basically a gap in the fence in any semi rural area). I'd also plant succesively, and check that fencing. Hopefully your netting will keep them away. I'm not a big salad greens grower (I'm very...

Thanks for the helpI will try and source a Cripps Pink tree. If it will at least grow here then it's worth a try to see if it sets fruit. It will be planted/grown in South Wales btw.I will also try and find something similar to a Cripps Pink. Does anyone have any suggestions of native...

Hi Kristen I haven't planted very early this year (for various reasons) but last year I planted them out in April and I was eating them by early July. I've put a link below to the thread I put up last year. It has some dates and varieties of bean throughout my postings. I don't keep...

Am just about to head out into a very grey morning to do my Toms but you've put a smile on my face Kirsten. Maybe if the rest of my crops go belly up I'll be glad of those 'leeks!'Sheelagh :hehe:

I can't think what possessed me this year! Took pity on some seed packets I have lying around I think :(I have been restrained, and only grown 6 - 8 plants, but of each of three different varieties :( and that's not included the Sweet Peppers :( :(Mind you, it was fun to give away pots of...

No rule for how big they should be Caz. Being small is okay.......they have lots of time to grow and produce. Just let them go as they want to and transplant them into the hanging basket a bit before you're going to put them outside. (I have 3 in each 14" basket so I hope that won't hold them...

Hello!!Just to let you know that my tomato's are growing well.Thanks again!! :gnthb:

Freddy could be right, so put slug pellets down as well then golfer.
