After a few false starts and self inflicted problems, my aubergines are now growing to a reasonable size (up to 10" or so) - but no flowers yet....
You didn't entrust the watering to some teenage offspring or something did you? "Yes Mum/Dad, I did water the courgettes just like you said..." ;)
Thanks Shiney, believe me, I had them cooked every which way last year, we had about 10 plants and we were eating them daily for about two months!...
Courgettes are the one plant I've had real success with - I was sick to the gills of them by about October last year! V. low maintenance, and as...
Yes to staking, I think you need that with all toms - even the cherry ones can pull the plant over I think. Not sure on best food, I just get...
If it is a virus then don't compost it, take it directly to the bin. I'm guessing as it's in a pot rather than the ground it won't affect other...
Thanks all - I've brought the tomatoes out as they get tall, and planted in growbags once they've started to flower, and that seems to be having...
I don't even know what a tomatillo is, but one kind soul on this very site advised me last year when I was having a no-fruit problem with...
What does "the first truss is set" mean? I noticed it on my tomato feed, but wasn't quite sure whether it meant flowers, fruit or something else.
I'm growing some aubergine and tomato plants, and they're in a plastic greenhouse - am I better off opening it up and keeping the temperature at...

I think you can do the earthing up bit in one go when they're a bit bigger rather than as you go.
Oh blimey you've worried me now - I planted some cherry tomatoes in mid march (million I think they were called, an F1 hybrid) and they're about 6...
We grew courgettes last year, started them in pots and moved to the vegetable patch in late May / early June as I recall - this is in sunny Essex,...
Thanks Honey Bee - I have done exactly as you say, and found, although the compost on the top was pretty dry, underneath the top it was absolutely...
Iââ?¬â?¢ve been growing aubergines since late January and cherry tomatoes since March. Theyââ?¬â?¢ve been doing fine on a window sill ââ?¬â??...
If they are those cheapo Tescos "White Potatoes" then I guess they are "maincrop" which means they will be ready later than earlies (I would guess...
I managed to buy a ph kit for the princely sum of �£1.19 from my local garden centre. Fortunately it turned a dark green colour so my veg plot...
Thanks Pete, bit late now, they're in the box! I probably won't bother warming the soil, but will leave as long as possible before planting out,...
