Amazing Germination !

I bought the seed offer from a 'rival magazine' and supplied by Thompson and Morgan. They consisted of various edibles bought mainly for a winter supply of salad leaves. Planted them up in wide mouth growbags four days ago. To my amazement within 48hrs little green shoots were showing through. I've ...

Greenhouse Reflections !

Just a little tip which I've found useful at this time of year when the sun isn't as high or days are as long. Those silver refective sheets that you see inside car windscreens on hot summer days are perfect for sitting on the back of staging. In my case with the position of the g'hse east to west t...

As if by magic a Thompson and Morgan seed catalogue has just arrived through the door (conspiracy theories anyone?)lots of offers, free seeds and a £5 voucher :-).

Thanks for the replies, I'll take a look at onions from seeds. What red variety are you in favour of ?

Variety Options

I've overwintered Red Baron onions for the last couple of years from sets and fancy something different but still red. Any suggestions for an exposed northern hillside ? We prefer red onions fyi.

Thanks to all who replied to my question. My brother who has just started an Ebay shop for gardeners seems to have come up with a solution. Don't know if it works yet but he's now supplying a timed watering system for £24.99 plus delivery. It is battery operated and with a bit of fiddling I should b...

Automatic Watering

I'm going on holiday in May for three weeks and by then my greenhouse crops should be well on. I have a large water butt with a hose and good pressure running past the greenhouse and want to tap into it to drip water onto crops when I'm away (and when I'm here). Have you done it ? what have you used...

Hello, I'm a new forum member and am happy to say that the gardening bug that runs in our family has taken a hold with my wife and I. I'm veg and fruit, she's flowers, pretty standard stuff I guess. The purpose of my first post however is to help my brother and forum members with gardening products ...
