Re: Mixture of Herb seeds

I've not grown it before, but it's meant to have a horseradish flavour and look like watercress.

Re: Blackberries and Raspberries?

This makes a lot more sense now. Going to read up on the link as well :)

Currently have Bedfordshire Giant Blackberries and have of yet to order the Raspberries - so will make sure they are from a nusery that sells certified disease-free stock.

Thank you for your help!

Blackberries and Raspberries?

From reading up on companion plants, several sites mention that Blackberries and Raspberries should not be planted together due to virus disease. I'm looking at planting both, but about 8ft away from each other... is this still considered close or are they meaning "in the same bed"? Also, ...

Re: Mixture of Chilli seeds

Glad to be of assistance!

I think EVERYONE should share in the joys of Chillies :)

I'll also have:

Trinidad Scorpion Chocolate
Hungarian Hot Wax
Black Pearl Chilli

Coming in 1 weeks time. Are these of use to anyone?

Re: Marshalls seed growing guide

I've gone through and snipped the ones that have 0-1 set of leaves, when the other one sharing the pot has 2 leaves... that was an "easy" choice... My problem now is I have 2 x plants that both look good, have 2 sets of leaves and look healthy. So I'm leaving those! Will un-twine them later.

Re: Marshalls seed growing guide

Looking like I'll be in the same boat then :) I don't like killing plants!
I see lots of chutneys, jams and pickles in my future!

Re: Mixture of Chilli seeds

LOL! These are just the ones I know the name of... Currently growing some that I got from Greece and some that are a mix! Think I have 30+ plants on the go!

I'm saving the others for next year, but wanted to give other people a go (especially as I have named varieties!, rather than gathered ones.)

Re: Marshalls seed growing guide

Sounds like you're finding what works for you. I'm slowly getting there, but it's the 1st year with a decent sized garden! So trial and error. With regards to planting lots of seeds, a lot of places recommend 2 x seeds in one place/tub, which I've done on my Chillis - but both have sprouted (and cur...

Re: Marshalls seed growing guide

I wonder if any of you successfully use plugs plants on a regular basis and how do you arrange for them to tun up when you want them rather than when they want to get rid oh them ? I tried using plug plants for a while, but I found they tended to die a lot... ie order 3 for every 1 I really wanted....

Holy Basil (Ocimum Sanctum)

Good afternoon all, I've got some seeds (Approx 2200!) of Holy Basil... I think my garden will only fit a few plants - I know you're meant to re-sow them, but I think 2200 is too much, unless they're REALLY poor germinaters (and they don't seem to be). So I have some seeds to rehome. I'm going to tr...
