My Ildi tomato plants have curled leaves too, other tomato varieties look fine. Ildi taste rubbish so I won't be growing them again

The guy at our allotment who is the source of lots of information told me that carrots grown in pots should be sat in a tray filled with an inch of water at all times

Re: 'Climbing' winter squash

Last year I grew Red Kuri which is a potimarron type up a wigwam of tall canes. It did really well, needed some pinching out and tying in. I'm trying squash festival as well this year.
