thanks Primrose, I'll have one more attempt with soaking first. This year seems to have caught me out. I kept on thinking the nights were still cold and we may dip into a frost and now the ground is like iron and in clods which are really hard to break up. Trouble is I am still sowing as in previous...

Hi everyone, Having read the earlier topic on parsnip germination I am wondering if I should soak the butternut seed since I have had no luck with earlier sowings.

Now I know why I was never a teacher! What I was trying to say, really badly, was that my summer raspberries appear to have fruited in late Sept/October on this year's canes which I thought would be bearing the fruit next year. As they are muddled up with the autumn fruiting it looks as if all the c...

Having moved from a light soil to green sand/cla...
