Well annoyingly it didnt quite set so its more an orange-chilli-dip this year...

Would you have a few I could slip in the seed swap parcel please,

I dont grow pots,cheaper to buy in store and limited space but tried Anya and they were lovely. Good taste and texture.

Coriander is brilliant. In fact no, it's Brilliant with a capital B.First, as you say, is the lush green. Then the tiny white flowers that almost look like they're floating in thin air above the plants. Then of course the seeds, but, if you're really lucky and conditions are right, the leaves...

Some of mine have started 'flowering' too. Thanks for this thread - at least I know I'm not alone!

Another good reason to use Jeyes, don't you just love that smell !

Haha i didn't carve any this year but i did these last year.Next time i will be growing my own pumpkins so ill be looking out for this thread!Well done to the others. Some real artists on here Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Here is a photo sorry it is not all in focus I didn't notice when I took it.

Wow Woo! They look a bit of alright but I don't suppose there's any left now.

I pulled the remainder of my carrots yesterday and if it was judged by weight alone then I'd be a happy man.One of the aforementioned alien monstrosities:And, the specimen that I was after:

No need to freeze chutney, just keep it in air tight jars or containers, store it in a dark cool place and it last for a few years if you've got lots and it improves with age. Mine does anyway.

Thanks John

cheers for that I'll let you know how it goes I'll start some in Jan and some a bit later

Finally got round to digging up my PFAs, I planted them about 12" deep and earthed them up, they formed all the way up: Wine bottle for scale, showing the new potatoes forming from the mother tuber upwards, most are just under the surface. This was the best root, 7.5 lbs Got around 3...

When I was a kid a nail in the tree usually indicated some one trying to climb it.I think to tap it you need a hole a bit bigger.

Has anyone grown these successfully? The dill leaves were nice while they lasted, I added them to my sandwiches. But the seeds don't taste very good. I harvested most of them when they were ready (black) and dry. Maybe, in the case of caraway, the tiny threads attached to them don't help, though...

Thanks very much @JWK!

When I used to grow loads of runner beans some years ago, we used to go down the road of slicing them and then blanching them.They never turned to mush, but they were bloody tasteless.Never bothered after that.Better off buying them in the supermarket.

Very good MisterQ

Yes, its difficult for us to totally understand your growing conditions. Its never that hot for that long over hear so we tend to have to get the plants through the cold weather before we get anything similar to what you may be experiencing.
