Good idea regards the ribbons. Will try this on my Nashi and Victoris plum tree, cheers

They look to be growing really strongly, not sure why you are molly-codling them though. I planted sets out a few weeks ago before the cold spell with some shallots and they are peeping through now (sturon and setton varieties). Some autumn planted ones are well away now with the warm spell we...

I've damsons next to a plum. They are both flowering and I can't tell the difference just looking - but I know which is which, maybe someone locally knows what it is?

AI live 20 mins from the largest Mushroom growing area in the USA.

You've been cheating, no wonder your cucumbers look a damn sight better than mine. My poor wee souls have been having to cope with the spare room (unheated) which can get guy chilly!

I grow the variety 'All Year Round' - does OK down here silu.

Well, more of @"M"s came up than my gloden ones

Sow in a pot, transplant to modules then plant out later, I've tried direct sown and it does not work for me.Sorry for late reply, I have been away.Steve...

I do my beans the same way as I do sweet peas.3/4 fill root trainer with compost, soak well then top off with dry compost, plant seed into dry compost then do not water until you have germination. Capillary action draws water into the dry compost to soak gently then germinate the seed. Cover...

I would wait until fruiting is over....prob August time. Keep well watered but the weather will still be warm and the new root growth made then will help establish the plants for next spring

@Logan I got the seed from Ebay so it may not even grow . There are no instructions either

@Jimb0b I am going to try courgettes in with my asparagus this year..

Thanks both that’s brilliant

I get better results for Cauli by using a propagator, all other brassicas do ok in the greenhouse in pots. I sow using 5 inch pots. Seed trays can dry out quicker this time of year if your out for the day and it is sunny. Last year I sowed direct into my polytunnel beds, and they did very well...

@nikirushka .Well I now grow a lot go my veg for 2 in my poly tunnel which measures 27' x 15'.. I also have an 8 x 6 greenhouse for tomatoes & chillis.. 4 large raised beds as well as various large pots and containers and every year I run out of space.. I though it would be loads of space but...

Does anybody put grass cuttings in the bag?

Not sure about growmore never really tried keeping that overwinter, personally I wouldn't bother.Other straight fertilizers, ie. sulphate of potash and Ammonium sulphate do attract moisture, as does the likes of miracle grow etc. so if I have any of those left at the end of the season I...

No mate, MM= Money Maker ( from the first post )

I've got Early Onward in 24x size cell tray modules (cut into blocks of 6 cells) germinating in my heated greenhouse. I've got them in heated propagators and they'll come of it as soon as they start sprouting (cutting into smaller sections helps with this) then go into a polytunnel.I might end...

As well as cauliflowers other brassicas such as swede benefit from boron, as it is a trace element you don't need a lot of it. I use a sprinkle of borax every other year on the winter brassicas, helps to give tight brussels. It can also be found in products like Miracle Gro and Phostrogen. You...
