Edible Gardening

Whatya' got in that HUGE greenhouse then? That's one tidy garden, should be a doddle to look after. I could post a pic of my patch to show how it shouldn't be done..

Hi Amanda it's always nice to encourage little'uns to enjoy the garden with you and although they can get really messy at times they do seem to enjoy it so.My little four year old niece loves helping me out in our garden sadly she hasn't a garden at home just a back yard and her mum isn't into...

David , I think Indian meant what colour are the seedlings when they emerge - how can you identify them from the other little blighters

Newbie green, if you are growing in grow-bags or similar... I took a tip from here last year, and planted out my tom plants in half a grow-bag (i.e. fold the grow bag in half and cut round the middle) using this method you can push a cane in quite deeply at the same time as you plant the tomato...

Just noticed the gremlins don't work within text!

yesterday i noticed that the soil in the lettuce seed tray was riasd up and cracked on the surface (like you see on pavements sometimes) then today i realised what it was.....the leetuce seedlings.... popeye lettuce!! bet they are gonna be right healthy

cheers very much

They will make sure a stunning display Kathy and if the strawberries taste half as good as I'm sure the watering cans will look then it's all yum, yum! :D Hel.xxx.

Hi all, whilst on the subject of strawberrys and runners, i seem to recall from way back when that you had to count ...was it one, two or three rootings away from the main plant to take a new plantling, can anyone clarify please

Bung them in now and you will be OK. Once under the ground they are safe from frost, its getting too late to worry about chitting. Once the shoots surface they need frost protection, but by them , hopefully, the frosts will be over.

iv had a look and i cant see any signs of mice and i dont think my 3 cats would take to kindly to them if there was

Hello, John ... yes, long time no speak ...Would YOU eat THAT ?????Completely off thread ... your Sis's cotoneasters are thriving, all four ... will send you a pic in due course.

Hi Pam Well really its a matter of choice a lot of Growers remove all the flowers the first year so that the second year they get a heavier crop but I would usually leave the flowers on

Now you know it's not nice telling tales,Vince, especially if Carol finds out!

Yup david but BIG and tasty?I'll sow another seed and go for the record, better get my 2nd greenhouse up and running pretty smartish?

Yes, they need at least a 9-12 inch pot per plant ultimately (or 2 per growbag rather than the manufacturers 3 is better)or can be grown in the soil. As they are 5" at the moment, pot them individually into a 3" pot for now and bury the stem up to the first set of true leaves - the stem will...

Thanks very much for the advice. I may mix and match a bit, as I have a glut of Sun Gold. Will see which method produces the best plants !

Just noticed the titlesorry I guess that answers the question.I will get back in my box now.Dave
