Edible Gardening

@TheMadHedger are you growing the broad beans for an allotment or for a garden? because you can sow Aquadulce Claudia now straight into the ground and they will give you an early crop of beans,earlier than spring sown varieties and with luck you won't have the black fly problems that are...

You would not have liked it anyway Zigs, You have to hold your pint mug of tea with your little finger sticking out, and the Sarnies do not have any crusts

Thanks for all the useful advice. My 2 chilli plants are now minus their good crop of Chillis which I've frozen and had a good spray with water to remove the majority of the whitefly. I'm going to prune them today and useful to see that you can be quite severe.

crimson crush and sun gold have been mentioned by a friend I made on FB he's sent me a few types of seed but I'm not sure what though, turning up tomorrow will let you know what I get

With the ones I have, (Senga) it depends. Normally, I wont do anything at all apart from remove the runners in Spring. Every third year, I'll collect the runners, remove the old plants, then put the runners in their place.I never use any kind of fertiliser, ever.On the odd occasion I have...

Cherokee Purple; 10. 5. 10I canned and dehydrated them, the taste is so good, this was my 4th year to grow them.

bought a reduced goji twig in B&Q had no idea what to do with it, google failed me so bunged it in a pot, few leaves have sprouted so

I have 2 Braeburns and I am in the middle of picking them Now . They look larger this year than any other year. I feed my trees with lots of water and lots of Banana Peels, a tip I got from my Dad,many years ago. With feeding them Banana Peels I'm trying to train them to drop from the trees...

Good call The yoghurt pots stop the ends of the canes wearing the fleece away when it gets jiggled in the wind

When we clear the plants at the end of the season (or earlier) any that are still showing a hint of green are eaten raw, by Mrs Shiney, very thinly sliced (skin on because it's still very soft) on her salad or as an accompaniment. Not a lot of flavour at that stage but she likes it.Others are...
