you are probably wise to sow your melon seeds early. Look after them. Hope they do well.

Don't worry, Autumn Bliss will be fine.

Hi Jenny

Never weighed them, but I would reckon 2 to 3 kilos from a 3 foot high plant - but don't quote me on that
By all means keep on of two for the greenhouse to be on the safe side, if you have room. Trouble is you can't really control them as you do tomatoes by side-shooting.

Jenny Tomatillo tips: sow and pot on exactly as for tomatoes. I used to plant out when about 6-9 inches tall. Then just leave them to get on with it, just putting in some support if the wind gets them. I have seen them grown inside, and they are enormous, so stick to the open. When they are ripe in ...

Malk Bright Lights chard is much the same as green. It is also excellent in a mixed salad of baby leaves - so it's worth sowing a few extra, or use the thinnings. Persian melons are a new on on me. Isn't it rather early to sow them? The late Bernard Salt's advice was don't sow cucumbers "until ...

Hi again Annette Re Borlotti, if you can grow French Beans or Runners you'll be fine. There are two possibilities with Borlotti - dwarf varieties and climbing varieties. For either I sow in pots/modules mid-May and plant out when about 4-5 inches high. I do this mainly so they survive the attentions...

tea shot If your 6 hens are not too old they will come back on lay soon enough. I have a mixture of pure breeds, and home hatched birds. They all have different rest periods. Now the days are longer even some of my old Leghorns which like a break of at least 4 months are laying. I would never consid...
