OK, this is my first year of growing veg. I have 8 tomato plants in total. 6 in grow bags (with pots sitting in the grow bag), and 2 in the veg...
Thank you for all the replies. I will do as you suggest and not worry to much about their floppyness! I have more pots than I thought I would, so...
At the end of March, I sowed some Penstemon seed to try and grow perennials for my borders (I followed PeterS's advice on which plants to try and...
It looks amazing! And I love the variety of containers you are using for veg growing - they look so colourful and pretty! Some great ideas there!
I think the easiest thing in the long run (rather than running round in your PJs with a watering can at midnight) is to train the dog to use a...
That's OK then. I was worried it might be some kind of horrid pest which was going to spread and take over the whole lawn, leaving devastation...
