I know what's eating my strawberries...........................................it's me..................................( I have found growing them in pots, mostly inside the greenhouse has removed 99 percent of all ailments my out door strawbs do. I have now binned growing strawberries outside and ...

I picked an out door sweetcorn and some french beans for dinner with chicken, I really miss my apple trees this time of year, but I just had so many problems with them.

We've had quite a few whites, but they were a bit late, but they don't bother me anymore as I have perfected the ideal way to stop them being a pest...................................I've given up growing brassicas

The greenhouse has had a thorough wash with Jeyes fluid, so fully disinfected, soil raked over and levelled, I don't usually add the manure until the spring. There are a few strawberries and a couple of peppers still in pots. An interesting point came up when moving the pots, all had to varying degr...

The theory is that they allow your provider to provide you with a better service, looking at what you have browsed and then offer you things they think you may like, personally if I can, I switch them off, I don't want big brother thinking for me, some with a busy lifestyle may actually like the coo...

Most of our family have had it, but not us, our next door neighbour had it last week, I know some who are on their second dose, just back from a cruise, you won't find me in crowds just now and wear a mask when inside.

In a nearby town there is a community garden, they get all my spare/excess seed. it's good to share.

I suspect you,re right Geoff about soil grown versus grow bags. One never knows what these contain. It would be interesting if somebody were to do a taste test on the same tomato variety between one grown in the soil and one grown in a growbag and see whether they could detect any taste difference....

That doesn't sound like a relaxing holiday!

You are welcome, making the films has kept me busy whilst still recovering from the last hospital visit, our season is shorter, but we do get longer days, so most things catch up.
Next season I shall aim to make shorter films just on one subject, if I can stop blethering away that is.

And so the season comes to an end in the greenhouse, click on the image to watch the video, there's commentary too.

It was 26 degrees yesterday and we have 16 at present, I pick my jobs to avoid the hottest part of the day and break the jobs down into smaller segments, yesterday the two of us treated the big summer house with oil based wood preservative, we were finished before eleven, so not too hot. Rain is for...
