Edible Gardening

That's similar to what happened to me, it was a really really windy day, and my packet of peas got blown all over the garden. After that peas were randomly spawning everywhere.

Trying to find the 'paperwork' they came with. My friend is asking about the rootstock so she can give me more bespoke advice. Need to know how to train and prune them. I have to say, they do look well. Dead chuffed.

Don't worry, it's perfectley 'normal', if that's what you can call reproduction without sex. Pips from a previous Germidour crop

Terrible smell, there are signs on the Singapore underground banning Durians!

My first pineberry strawberries are finally ripe!!!!!and i was skeptical about them tasting like pineapples but they really do. they are lovely!!Going to make sure i make more plants from these. they taste beautiful

They can be a little triffid-esque, do you know what variety it is that you bought?Steve...

Perhaps it's the variety then?

I agree, I remember my Dad growing them at that time of year, and we use to go to the allotment and cut what we needed, when we needed I understand what your saying as freshly picked is the best but I use (local farm grown) and now my own from frozen in many of my homemade dishes all through...

I presume Boron is a trace element - Not being very experienced as a gardener I'm still on a steep learning curve. I am growing in pure compost & vermiculite, the other vege seems to be doing Ok, Broad beans, peas, parsnips even celery ??

eBay! find a seller with good reviews though. I've used premier seeds before and found them excellent

Thanks for the info looks like I've got another long thin bed to dig out - RHS info spot on.

Looking good @HsuH

Has anyone grown Sweet Pepper F1 Sweet Sunshine? I am growing 10 different varieties of sweet peppers and chillies. 9 of the varieties look great, all have plenty of fruit and flowers. I have 4 pots of Sweet Sunshine which to be honest look pretty pathetic. They are about 3 inches high and seem...

Thanks Zigs I thought I'd have a go with 'Charlotte' as I read it's the easiest form to begin with and its also an acceptable roaster where as the other reccomended second cropping varieties are mentioned as salad potatoes...Anything else easy I can't go wrong growing in pots for Christmas...

Radish, cabbage, carrot all flowering. Carrot pulled to reveal tiny white root. Should have left the flower to open at least it would have been pretty. Torrential rain past few days so expecting blight any day now

And it makes sense - I dug out a big chunk of grass to make room for the sweetcorn.

No specific advice (although in recent days someone has set me a challenge to try one) other than pop in soil, cross fingers, pay homage to Mother Nature and ... wait and see! But, I'm new to this aspect of gardening, so I shall view the replies with avid interest.

I'm going to chop down my broad beans and try to get a second harvest later in the year. In the meantime the neighbouring red onions and shallots will welcome the lessening of competition for light and water.

Best not to wash potatoes either, leave them as they come out of the ground and store them somewhere cool and dark. If you harvest a lot of spuds at once, leave them out on the soil to dry for a few hours before storing, then store in hessian or paper sacks NOT plastic bags.First year...

I was between Brid and Driffield at the time. Lots of arable fields around. Now I'm in Hessle, I haven't seen any butterflies yet, my garden is only in it's first year. But yesterday I had to spray a climbing rose as tiny caterpillars were stripping the leaves.
