Afternoon

Just an update on the toms. Definatly just too cold. I took them back into the warmth and they have perked up no end. They are ready now to be planted up into their final pots.

Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated

Morning all The compost is Jamie Oliver fruit and vegitable planter bought from homebase (got some vouchers for xmas). I usually use Levingtons grow bag and have never had any probs. They were sown on 17/2 and transplanted on 18/3. They now have 5 sets of true leaves. What you say about the cold may...

Afternoon

Would love to send you some from up here in the far north. Has been raining on and off now for weeks. The fields here are saturated. Have even got a few temp (hopefully) duck ponds.

Afternoon all, I have pricked out my tom plants into new compost about 3 weeks ago. But the leaves have started to turn yellow apart from the veins. I am sure this is due to a lack of nutrients. Could you suggest what would be the best to feed them. Untill I can plant them up into my usual compost?

Hi natures babe

Cool never thought about that. Shall nip down the shops and have a look.

Hi again, Yip I saw your other post but feel I am about as much help there as an ashtray on a moter bike . I have tried sweetcorn but just too windy here . Also am going to try a squash in the front porch (axe at the ready), never tried one before due to said wind. Front porch should be fun, by the ...

Evening Peet I have grown onions in a trough and they were great. I planted about 7 stagered in a zig zag fashion. How I did it was visualise the size I hoped the onion would grow too and then gave it a little bit more. I filled it with I think a tomato bag. You have to keep them well watered and I ...

Evening Ruby kitchen This may not help but here goes. I live in the verry far north of Scotland (can actually see Orkney from window!). So everything here usually is about one month out from the middle of England. Only advantage no frosts from now on. But have planted toms at the begining of March. ...

Afternoon alan refail Yip not too many zoo animals here (unless you count the locals) . Sorry Shallot Man. There was a Jack russel around here, but a few years ago the then next door cat scared it away (well the cat was 1 stone in weight) (also saw same cat kill 3 wesels ) Hope everyone is having a ...

Mornin Nature's Babe

Ta V much. Yeh you are right, don't think I could be bothered shaving carrots.

Evening peeps Why oh why is that the groung that I dug over at the end of last year has suddenly become irrisistable to the next door neighbours cat since I planted me shallots. Arrrrrgh. Have had to replant twice now. Also felt a bit foolish running out with a towel yelling no no no. (Although coul...

Afternoon nemo I have had this problem in the past. But it never seemed to affect the seedlings and it went away once I potted them on. Since then I have used Vermiculite on the top. What I do is put compost in the trays water it well (to let it settle) put more compost in the ones that have sunk to...
