Edible Gardening

Thanks - will read the article tonight.Nematodes due to arrive tomorrow. Is there any variety of fruit or veg that I should keep them away from?

Thanks, I'll post here if there is any great change (for good or bad).Good luck with yours too.

So glad I checked. I was all set for chucking the lot. Oooooohhhhhh. Quite excited.

I grow sweet peppers in 9in pots. Sometimes a bit bigger. Chillies do tend to be smaller plants with less leaf, so can be grown in smaller pots. Both need feeding and watering well in hot weather though.

Typically this sort of regulation is restricted to commercial producers. Can you confirm that this applies also in a purely domestic environment for own consumption, and provide a link to the legislation, please?

Thanks. I've looked in the green house just now and they all look a lot happier !

This might help Paul.

For the last few years I've switched to the variety 'Parthenon' which doesn't need pollinating - even so it's still a bit early in Surrey for courgettes to go outside and thrive.

I'd be inclined to split the clump up next winter. Flowering is fairly normal, but not desirable.

Hi I bought this and was wondering if the fruits are edible. Many thanks Joe

Mine too, not entirely sure where to grow it I think it needs lots of space. Have you grown it before Zigs and if so how did you treat it?

Same here go cockling but never thought to keep the shells will do from now on

I see you already have plans as to how to use the environmesh, but I thought you might like to see something I made and still use today. Made from tile batons that are 1 inch x 1.5inch thick these frames are 12ft long x 3ft wide x 3.5ft high, they are as light as a feather and can be lifted up...

Not much availible to amatuer growers these days, on edible plants, I dont think. Rust was always a difficult one anyway.

They are Irishman's cuttings @Scrungee Just, normal stem cuttings work. But I wouldn't recommend it as a way of growing spuds. You normally only get one spud per plant.

African snails are huge

Anyone with experience of growing this? Was recently in Spain where it is much enjoyed and found it marvellous, called Ajos Tiernos there. I bought it by mistake thinking they were spring onions. What a find! Seems easy enough I'd imagine. Planting time appears to be feb/march with harvest...

Runner beans germinated outdoors 2016:Don't worry about it, OP.Just let it continue growing - a good root system and a sturdy stem is what you want.

Thanks for the replies everyone, they're in the greenhouse at the moment and I have been watering them a lot but they always seem pretty dry, I read somewhere that under watering might be the problem! I'll cut the affected leaves, repot, feed and see how they go. Hopefully it will be well and...
