Edible Gardening

Thanks for the advice, Pete! I'll let him know and cut back those shoots as soon as I can.

Thank you very much @NigelJ . Agree there is a biting wind here too but mine are quite cosy in the greenhouse atm. They'll get turfed out when I need the space for my Toms so no doubt will take a poor view of that.

Hello,I wasn't aware that the seedlings had to be removed quickly to stop them from growing too quickly.. I know some logical thinking would have saved me some space trouble . It's my first year with an electric propagator and after only one week most of my seedlings are actually big enough...

What I did the other year was buy grow bag and put then into wheelbarrow cut the grow half way to make 2 pots out of the grow bag put some holes in bottom for drainage and then refill both halves with the contents of the growbag. Therefore growing in the compost from a growbag, but having a lot...

I have a grow light but not sure it's that good. I have poly cloches and fleece so what I thought of doing was when the seedlings are a bit bigger, I was going to pot them on and put them under the poly tunnel in the greenhouse on the soil border which will be warmer than on the parts which are...

Ok i will cut the herb back thanks very much

Pete, Actually I read the same thing several years ago. That said, getting the salt into the system is the easy part, but getting it out of the porous clay pellets would be a nightmare.

NICE!, Mine have only just thawed fromtheir latest solid frosting.First flower expected June.

I prune mine otherwise there is a myriad of side shoots that are not very productive, didn't watch that video but generally wait till they get to the top of the support and nip out the growing tip so as to get two leaders and train them separately either side ways or downwards - depends on the...

Those are pretty big plants, that can't be the UK - unless it's a very sheltered location.

I've never grown carrots in containers but if I had no choice then I'd go for a soil based compost like John Innes.

Parsnip wine is great, tastes a bit like sherry

I have tried the following from collected seed:Morrisons birdseye chilli, bell pepper, "grape" cherry tomato, butternut squash and pumpkin - all these germinated fine and produced fruit.Morrisons Granny Smith apple, pomegranate, lemon, orange, avocado, cherimoya, passion fruit, papaya, mango...

Oddly I did this last year after several years poor performance in the ground. Roughly same container size, maybe bit bigger but the canes did really well with strong growth and good fruiting

No @pete they had not hearted, the size I mentioned was to give an indication of where they were in their early growth.I went ahead and transplanted them each with a nice clod of earth and reasonably undisturbed, firmed them in well and fingers crossed now.Cheers GG

This s a crop of my green manure growing last spring, a bit in the middle was dug in, in readiness to plant my pumpkins. Its difficult to tell but it's nearly 3 ft tall here and no weeds.Steve...

Thank for the replies, I would not be keen on foraging in an area that has been affected by a disease outbreak, as Nigel pointed out the precautions that taken into consideration to prevent the further spread of the disease. I was just curious and the thought of it I could not find much...

Thanks Tracy and M. I have someone from the local gardening club coming here tomorrow to pick up a barrow load of plants so probably best to give them the Fennel rather than try eating the root. I'd be a bit cross if I ended up at A&E after trying it.

Once its got leaves it will be damaged by frost. Best to put it outside when no frost is threatened, but bring it in overnight should frost be forecast.
