Well I wish you all the luck in your garden Ziggy.Jon.
Hey Ziggy. Different varieties sounds like an excellent idea. The Thais also use small aubs, I think maybe like these......
Well cooked, aubergine is fantastic - badly or undercooked and it's utterly awful. I wouldn't even consider it raw. Caponata is fabulous...
very interesting question. I only eat nasturtiums, chive flowers and, when they bolt, rocket flowers which are gorgeous and nutty.
I'm going to try growing some scorzonera and thought that since they are so long and difficult to harvest, growing some in bags would make it...
I think it'll be fine. The cloves do tend to get pushed out by root growth sometimes and it doesn't (in my vast experience of 2 years growing...
mine did the same last year and they were fine in spring - though that was probably a bit later in the year than this. I ate some of it but the...
You must have more lithe/smart butterflies than I do here!I've been using the same mesh for 4 years (it's actually 8mm approximate on the...
I use plastic mesh netting from Homebase - about 1/4 inch I think; a few quid for a 20 x 3 metre box. Nothing fancy; a crude box made of cane...
Well I've chopped off all the foliage from my edzell blue (in the ground), and hopefully that'll stop the spread to the tubers while I munch my...
Hmm. brown leathery patches sounds blighty to me...

Yes; scarlet emperor, about 10 plants, also getting a few of pounds a week. French also doing well, and a few borlotti just for variation. I've...
who knew that garlic was so odd?Latest symptom is some clove-like clusters growing about 6 inches up from the bulb. They are well below the...
I think it's a matter of taste...http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/27/AR2009052701110.htmlThe ones I've chopped off...
Looks like over-watering may be the culprit...http://www.garlicfarm.ca/growing-garlic.htm...but I've finally managed to identify the scapes......
I was checking my garlic for the appearance of these "scrapes" freddie was talking about (no sign yet), but noticed that quite a few of the bulbs...
Ah, now, Freddy; I remember reading one of your posts on these "scrapes" before. I've just checked on my (apparently healthy) plants but nowt but...
I got some wet garlic in my organic box this week - which I mistook for spring onion and put some in a sandwich! A bit powerful in that...
