Re: Pak Choi

I would recommend the rosette pak choi types I really think they are tops so far that I've tried - I put up a post about oriental greens a while back and it has some good pictures of them. I have some mystery oriental brassicas to try this autumn I got in a seed swap written in chinese chararcters s...

Plum Pudding I've tried PMing but no messages seem to go out of my box so I'm posting here instead How did the Double Rich Tomatoes, Snake beans and Purple bean seeds I sent grow for you this year? The cornu des Andes you sent me I thought were fantastic. I've saved some seeds and will be growing it...

Nemo the Buran peppers didn't do as well as I'd hoped it was a terrible year for peppers here BUT the Red Russian Kale is a delight - lovely stuff thanks for sending the seeds - hopefully I'll keep this going in my garden too - very beautiful and tasty too.

Overwintering annums

I hate to disagree with Alan but I do I've had a capsicum annum growing in an unheated tunnel for 3 years and several other over 2 years. I've only just pulled them up because I had a mealy bug infestation, otherwise they'd still be going strong. Lowest temps were -7c and they still held out, cut ba...

Red Peach

Hi Red Peach is listed in the Kokopelli paper Catalogue, although I tried a search on their English website and it did not turn up. Perhaps you can email them. If you have no joy pm me I will be going to their offices in about a week to deliver the seeds I saved for them this year and can ask direct.

Mealy Bugs - Help!

I have a huge Mealy Bug infestation in my poytunnel- I didn't see it happening because they were working on and perhaps came in on the roots of a Laksa plant which it about 5ft hight and spreads to a good 5 ft too. So i didn't see it until the plant started to die. I really should get some glasses T...

Yikes sounds too scary to me, risk of vomiting and poisoning to boot. Nope I'll yank them out and the remaining one in a pot I'll plant to grow up a tree. If it survives without any care from me, then all is well. Harsh i know but that's life. Anyone want any morning glory seeds? There are plenty le...

Hi guys sorry for the delay in getting back. The pics of Morning Glory do look like the seedlings and the shape of the leaves I've posted another page on my site with pics of the seeds and a couple of people have suggested Morning Glory too. So maybe that is the culprit. I really only grow stuff tha...
