The veg bed is new, so never had them before. I want to try and avoid using any insecticide on my beds

Ordered

It’s a council list and apparently there are currently 280 on it when they replied. I will prob give it to next year & then maybe enquire about it again.

Hi Tanzy good start... have you checked out "square foot gardening" also veg in one bed by Huw Richards square foot should be availble in libray not sue about other one. Try ebay as well for good prices. Looks like you can get them from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Veg-One-Bed-Abundanc...

Oh no, not mastered my space. Too much in raised bed this year, but is my first year with it



Got my name down for an allotment, 3 year waiting list

Not got much space, started with my VegTrug that I’ve been growing carrots, onions, spring onions & radish in mainly. F0D147C2-8A36-42FF-88B9-0976B659643F.jpeg My raised bed is new this year 08409BF4-B777-4501-B65B-B2E5B6796900.jpeg And a few containers 4644D37D-2B4A-470F-88F7-23BAEA83C408.jpeg

I’ve pulled all the carrots up now, were not growing anyway due to other issues. They looked ok, all bet it too small. Thing they have not grown well as there are courgettes growing in the layer above. My bed is 4”X6”. But double layered so that the first 2” is 2” in depth, and the second 2” is 4” i...

The raised bed is new this year, and I’ve not enriched the soil. Soil maybe dark due to being wet at the time, had a bit of rain recently. So you think that soil is buggered now for the likes of carrots etc now?

Not sure if they check now and again. I got an email confirming that I was on the list, and asking to let the. Know if I changed my mind or moved out of the area. The allotment area I’ve requested is only a 5 minute walk from where I live. I thought about doing it last year, but never got round to it.

Put my name down for an allotment, 3 year waiting list were I am. Some lists not far from me are 10 year waiting lists

They are white rather then pale green, but that could be due to my sight In regards to willow trees, there are none by where my raised be is. My worry is that this is where I'm planning on doing most of my carrots next year. Any advise on how to prevent them? This year I'm just going to bin this cro...

Just been clearing out veg from my bed that has bolted or not doing anything. Went to clear my carrots out and seen these. Anyone any idea what they are? I was going to pull & bin the carrots as just not grown due to over crowding with other stuff F5F21FE8-6535-4565-A2DE-0BC62243A5AC.jpeg 06E4C2...

Already being told off for my raised bed encroaching on the flower beds. Think I would be told off even more for that by the wife

I will take a look at them, take it I would still need 2 plants? Wonder if the wife would notice 2 more pots turning up in the garden?

Hi Tansy. It's difficult to see if that's all one plant you have there, or if it's two or three plants. If it's one plant, three fruit are likely to be too much for it to bring to full size in the short British growing season, unless it's a variety specially bred for here. I normally limit mine to ...
