Edible Gardening

Totally forgot about my order from the allotment shop!! Thats a whole lotta tatties!!

Have just bought one of those to supplement my other propagators! The pic is the electric heated version currently sitting on my dining room table awaiting unpacking...

I try to avoid stored potatoes sprouting by preparing a good part of our harvest into products that freeze, so amongst others that would be, mash, chips, dauphinoise, boulangere, croquettes I even make and freeze a few Anna. The rest of the harvest is used as normal so that by this time of year...

I'm desperate to get out & do something! I think it must be almost time to get the seed trays out & make a start! The window ledges looked good last year with the sunflowers growing on them, only one neighbour asked if I was growing drugs! At the time I was horrified

Don't worry I didn't take it as nasty at all sounds like sensible sound advice to be honest. I'm not convinced a tiny plant can produce lots of apples either. I guess it is quite faddy. Fingers crossed though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Funnily enough I'm in the market for a peach and apricot tree...I've heard good things about ashridge trees but their postage seems a bit extortionate

had this link on copy paste right now for another forum rather than lose it, sharing it here. may be of some value.

In this case it was definitely not the rhubarb which lost out!

Am thinking of these, wonder anyone else to join with me and share the tips.

Try Santé or Hermes, and avoid King Edwards like someone avoiding a very scabby thing

We are eating (from the allotment): Parsnips, Sprouts, Cabbages and Potatoes - from my home plot we are still working our way slowly through the giant onions, most of which we froze. Yesterday we tried the dried tomatoes I made during the summer, they were delicious, bursting with flavour -...

I took this photo from off of the T&M site and they have them down as both broccoli and cauliflower so we are both right. Just finished eating our dinner and they went down very well with the chicken:dancing:Sorry forgot to add the photo earlier,oops

It's difficult to see the detail properly but I would be aiming at reducing the overall height and removing a lot of the inward facing thin branches. You seem to have so many of them that it can do with a lot being removed (I may be getting the branches mixed up with the willow).

Yes, Franchi (AKA Seeds of Italy) don't even seem to understand GCSE school level biology,

Some of my dug potatoes are like that, if it stays mild it may be worth planting some, Ziggy got a lemon on the go

I think that you should have a ShineyHybrid and not a Naga Date for diary - We're open 28/29th of May. Small chilli plants are a bit delicate for post and larger ones are quite expensive for posting Are you sure it's thrips and not fungus gnats? Neem oil is OK for thrips but fungus...

I have no doubt in my mind that you will have the digging, weeding & mulching done real soon
