Hi folks ,just a quick update. Two tomatoe plant got really bad so I pulled them up but the others are great and full of fruit

I've done this lots of times and it works a treat, plus it saves a lot of fiddley work. :thumb:

Or you could buy Sulphate of Potash.:thumb:

Not really golfer...other than brown paper sacks.....but you do need to check them weekly as some will be prone to rotting etc....you can't see if a spud is damaged in anyway. Hessian is supposed to be the best thing, but you do need to have a breathing hole in the top of the bag. Of course...

She's obviously the maternal type.:D

Last year my daughter constantly was checking the wild strawberries we have growing in various parts of the garden. She didn't worry about whether they were red or not, they all got eaten. :confused:

If you are lucky, planting them now you might by able to harvest some new tatties just in time for christmas.

had 13 courgettes 2 small caulis bunch beef toms and cucumber,this growing lark is a bit of allright. got 5 cucumber plants in the greenhouse do i nip the growing point of them like toms there hitting the roof, loads of fruit on them. tomatoes doing ok had a bit of grey dusty rot on few...

I just picked some caulis that were turning pink :confused:. I don't know what variety they are because they were given to me. They cooked up OK :thumb:

I don't really know about "cropping", but I do use it in the spring for seed raising - after potting on - keeps them warm enough at night. Most nights the lamp doesn't come on, just zipping-them-up is enough.I also use it for overwintering slightly tender things.I was also pondering whether...

fruit i grow my rasps in large pots, and have only today picked the last off them and cut the old cane down, it was a new plant 2 yrs ago and as i was moving house last year, i kept it in a small pot and only had 2 stems, this year i potted it up in to its permanent pot, and it has fruited well...

Panic over, lol, lifted up the pot and looked underneath and JWK was right I'd snapped a little bit of root off. The tomato plant is now staying put, not moving it unless it really needs to be moved.

We haven't sprayed anything in the garden (we sprayed the chilli and pepper plants we had in the spare room - they are now dead :(- as they had green and white fly) the only thing that is eating anything are slugs and snails but so far they have only attacked a few lettuce and a couple of...

PeteSorry - BROWN Turkey of course. I was thinking laterally about fattening up a bird for Christmas!When I get round to moving my shed to a new location, the plan is to grow the fig in the South facing corner between the shed and a 2m fence. Probably fan train or possibly...

The dawg wont eat slug pellets...and I doubt whether the kids would either.:thumb:

In a commercial greenhouse they take off the lower leaves, and "lower" the plant, arranging the stem along the row, and then up at the next suitable position, a bit like you do with sweet peas when they get tot he top of their cane.I have arranged my tomato canes at about 45 degrees,...

Yes they did, not as many as I thought though, I was reading that you should pick the flowers off, so I did for a few of them but then left them alone as I read that you should leave them :-)
