I actually don't know as the fruit have never got to the ripening stage! I'll try this next year.

I have a small cherry tree which I inherited, probably no more than 6 - 8 years old. It produces blossom in profusion but few fruits and what there are drop off within a couple of weeks. It's also getting tall about 2 metres and has lots of upright stems. Can I should I prune it, if so how and will ...

Is it possible to move potatoes once they've sprouted. A friend helped me plant and now they're showing I can see that some are just a few inches from a grass path which will cause a world of hurt come harvest - assuming the grass and weeds let them grow!

Thanks folks - I'll try the meths.

Thanks both of you - I'll relax!

I have some cauliflowers, some of which I got as seedlings from a neighbour, and others I grew myself from seed. They're good and leafy, but don't seem to be developing the cauliflower head. When should this happen and is there anything I need to do?

Thanks - there is space so I'll get some compost and perhaps also some horse muck on. There are horses next door so I get plenty! I also started to look at training them earlier but I was just about to come home so I'll take another look over the weekend.

The soil is very compacted and probably has never been changed. However I think the pot is too big to move and is metal! I put tomato feed in last year a...

I agree that swallow numbers seem to be down and they seem to be late. As a longstanding RSPB member I'm sorry to hear they were less than helpful. Citizen science such as the big garden birdwatch is usually very important. I think one of the reasons is that countries in southern Europe, notable Mal...
