General Gardening Discussion

Maggzy - I don't grow any veg, so really don't know the answer. However my experience with other things, is that you can grow anything in a pot, even huge trees.To my mind you want the biggest pot possible, plants in smaller pots never grow as large even if they are not obviously pot bound....

G G, I think you mean Cheshunt compound.

Oh! that is so beautiful I just know mine is not going to look like that. Am going to take a photo of mine and try to work out how to put it on this thread so you can see how sort of sad it looks compared to that. I did only plant it last year in a large pot so I guess I cannot expect too...

i have been out wrapping the cloches in fleece!! a tedious job with 20 small cloches to do!i planted them out at the beginning of april.so we shall see. i think they will be fine

This is sooooo true. I thought when i moved in and started in the garden, especially as a brand new gardener, this is going to take forever to sort. But if i wasn't a lazy arse i could have probably sorted it all in a few months. Instead of the two years so far :(See my sig, i've still...

I would just leave it alone meantime If you get another cold snap, removing it will simply leave the new buds open to invasion from the dreaded cold

like the gel idea,will try it,will be nice to see what is happening

you could plant peas in a length of plastic drainpipe,then just slide them into a little trench when they are about an inch high.Also it saves then from mice eating them J
