2017 GROWING THREAD

Only prune the very darkest branches out

 

Progress of the butternut squashes.


The vigour of the vanilla vs grafted plant.


This may well be the first fruit to set. It's on the grafted plant.

 

Fruit set on the 30L pot pumpkin.


Repairs to the split damaged vine.



Remember, keep shtum. Don't mention it to the folks in the pumpkin thread.

 

One melon plant didn't pull through my surgery.. down to 1 asda melon and 2 sugar babies. Also the "set" asda melon fell off when poked.

Don't poke/alter growing melons.

 

Picked these for the in laws the other day, they said the beans was lovely FIL was tucking into a rhubarb and apple pie this afternoon so I guess that was ok as well he never offered me a bit

 

Which goes to show ... it was better than "ok" ... which is why he scoffed the lot!

 

They wont get no more M you should look after the hand that feeds you .

 

Erm ... they fed you ... a wife!

 

Funny you should say that M, just mentioning the thread to the Wife, little did I know she was asked if she wanted some her reply was ill have a little bit, dads reply was and will only be a little bit so she did not bother

All is not lost, ripped one melon plant out...



But the other is holding on, despite the leaves yellowing

 

Just been to Morrisons...



Gave them a soak, I know we all know what soaking looks like I just wanted to re affirm @pete's suspicions that the West Country is full of pottys



Now lets see if we can get them to blub up
