Meant to ask:

Was I meant to be getting anything extra other than the magazine? Should I have had free seeds or planner, no one is answering my question,

Many thanks.

Just asking everyone. The envelop for Kitchen Garden was really poor quality paper and hardly any glue. It arrived with the side and top open. Just the magazine, nothing else. The top of the magazine mentions free seeds and a free planner. Does this mean they have fallen out? Were we meant to be get...

Westi, They're looking good. Think you nailed it. Try finding a variety with leaves to cook. Tastes yummy. Now inspired to grow more. We have tomatoes and had to buy Crimson Crush F1 for next year, as area we now live in is near a spud farm and blight on tommies is awful. We had to plant Roma, Red R...

Forgot to add, we had another supermarket variety sprout. We followed instructions on line for cutting in half and chitting in a jar on window. The Chitted ones didn't do as well as the whole one that sprouted (see making SLIPS) and the Super plugs from Suttons produced a better crop. We didn't eat ...

Only grown them indoors, had reasonable crop, using Super plugs from Suttons - Beauregard. We grew some from Suttons - variety Beauregard, 6 Super plugs. We did this about three years ago and put them in potato bags or pots the same size (2 per bag due to room). We grew them in a South Facing Window...

Forgot to add, I've got garlic, and shallots coming end of the month and in January have Stuttgart onion sets coming with heritage blue potatoes.

Thanks for this everyone. We have some White Lisbon Winter Hardy that we got given this year. Chinese cabbage, we grew some in summer, but only a couple and managed to stop them from bolting. Found out that the winds we had blew part of our netting up around our Romanseco and some critter has nobble...

Thanks Monica, Yes, I thought of spinach, but not Spring Onions. We will give them a go. It isn't tall enough for Broad Beans (I'm not a fan, but like all the other beans), but it is okay. Slowly learning about intercropping etc to maximise veggie growth. Also need to get Hubby to sow things at inte...

Hi Colin, I agree with the above. I brought a tiny one in a Santa 'Christmas' display pot (2 inch) from a Certain German owned supermarket that rhymes with 'Riddle.' Mine has pink flowers (they flower and grow towards window, so I Rotate it), but they come in yellow, white, orange and also red flowe...

Hi, We have had bumper crops during lockdown from our garden, but we had a spare piece of safety crittal glass (had to replace a long window in a porch to allow our cat in and out with a cat flap). I suggested hubby reuse the window for a cold frame. He has just built a lovely cold frame We want to ...

No, unfortunately our nearest local shop doesn't really do veg or salad, milk usually goes off after a day - sad decline of village. As a girl I went on holidays here, this village used to have a bakery, post office, pet shop, supermarket, garage - all gone by the time we relocated here for work (lo...

We have a 12 week shielding letter and we're youngsters. Other half is immunocompromised due to medication and work for NHS in research, at home luckily (boss ordered it). I do think it is age discrimination is you are fit, healthy, no health conditions and over 64. We have to stay locked down and c...

Hi, I fully sympathise with anyone over 64 that has been told to shield. Well other half and I have received a government letter to shield until late July or later. Luckily home working is an option, but we have had terrible problems with on-line delivery. Despite being immunocompromised, we cannot ...
