Thanks for the replies. I have the space so its worth seeing what happens. Will let you know

Hi all. I had a couple of grafted aubergines which were very impressive last year. They were grown in the greenhouse border and one survived the winter and sprouted a lot of green growth with very small flowers. They were sold as Scorpion. Im guessing what Im seeing is the rootstock. I thought Id gi...

its good to know is still of some use - thanks

thanks for the advice

I have (had) a large tub of B and Q growmore granula fertizer that I bought last year. Unfortunately water got into the tub in the winter and its now a tub of sludge. Should I chuck it or could it be diluted as a liquid feed? If so does anybody have any suggestions as the the ratios I should use?

thanks for the advice

I tried florence fennel last year from seed and they didnt do too well - probably poor watering and did not swell.

However, several plants survived the winter and are looking quite healthy.

Are they worth persevering with or should I use the space for something else?

On the subject of butternut squashes, I have them about 90cm apart as per instructions. Have a few cricket ball size squashes that appear to be doing well but notice that a couple have rotted away which were golf ball size. They don't look particularly vigorous. Have courgette plants in the same bed...

thanks

I have a few early PSB that have side shoots but also a small central shoot. Shoot I whip out the central shoot now?

thanks Geoff

has anybody tried bleu de solaise and if so how do they rate them?

How about Pak Choi. I'm no expert but pretty easy to grow and I heard that they do better when sown as the days grow shorter. They grow quickly and and in the past they've bolted quickly for me and I read somewhere to sowing them in/from June helps counter this. Great in stirfrys.

likewise, never done them before and I'm going to give them a go from seed in modules then plant them on. I've been googling the most highly rated type of leek and bleu de solaise seems to be very popular. Good luck.

I sowed early purple sprouting brocoli and in the end had nowhere for them last year. As the seedlings clung on to life I stuck them in the ground at the end of summer. Several have lasted the winter and are a foot to 2 feet tall and appear quite healthy. However there's no signs of any spears. I'm ...
