Hi this is my 1st time growing most things. I put some onion bulbs in way back in Jan, in the hope of a very early crop, they are growing and are about 1 ft tall and the bulb is about 2-3 inches wide, my questions is how do I know when to pick/dig them up, and are they supposed to have a flower, as ...

Hi Joy I have pot some trees in the pot, I thought that I would try them seen as they were cheap one from lidl £3.99 and one from morrison's £4.99, The one form lidl was a cooking apple and I planted that up about 1 & 1/2 months ago and that is well on its way flowering. Today (once the rain sto...

Thats great, I will put mine in the compost bin when I finally get some sluggys that is, well it wont be long and I should be thankful that they are not here yet.

Hi I am new to this as well JohnN and am yet to try this very interesting method of development,the chit chat about it is making me want to try it as last year I didnt really have much joy staight in the ground, so I shall do as Monika and many others have done and do mine on a tray with lots of lay...

I also purchased some of the little traps from lidl and plan to use the cheapest beer/larger, but what I realy want to know is how do you go about emptying the things, where should I put the bodies, as seedling nicely put it.

Hi ajpaterson I too Have a raised bed at home, mine is not as deep as yours but nevertheless to has a hardcore bottom, is only a railway sleeper (on its side) in height, I filled my ground with just clean top soil from the local builders centre down my way, that was last year April & at the time...

I do think that you could all be right, I have been looking for somewhere to put it and take it out of the pot so it looks like I am going to have to make space for it in a new patch, which in the summer should get lots of sun, I will have to check the ground out, as although I live in an old house ...

yer the berries looked nice apart form this stuff, but I am new to all type of fruit and veg growing and so no dout there will be more questions to post. I will move the gooses to a larger pot in the wind in the hope that it gets a bit bigger & stronger, as it is starting to bud now. Do they nee...

You know, you can tell that I am new to this game cant you I think that you are right, it is a very small tunnel, it is a bout 1 mt high and can be up to about 5mts long, but I dont use it that long, because I dont have the room, so yes, let it be a Cloche, or a very small tunnel, that only very sma...

I am glad that I am not the only one that has a cat that likes to poop in its own back yard. I have now got a cat scarer & that seems to work, but last year in the winter months my plot (the unused bit) had loads of the little brown things in it, I got sick and tired of keep digging them out and...

Hi Last year for the 1st time I thought that I would try the old gooseberrie. It is a pot and I only got a few on it last year, but I didnt want to eat them as they seem to have this sort of grey misty film on them, a bit like a cobweb. Anyone know what that is and if it is safe to eat, what causes ...

Hi I am new and this is my 1st posting, I have a small veg patch and have just purchased a tunnel, I am hoping to cut it down into two, I really dont have much room , but like other poeple have said, you have to try new things and so I am going to try and grow my cucumbers & peppers in there. Ha...
