Hi
I read somewhere that Autumn Raspberries don't need to be supported like Summer ones.

Is this true?

As I am waiting for my delivery of Joan J, I need to know if I have to make a support or not?

And when is the best time to cut them back December or February?

Thank you

Hi

I just picked my pumpkins and their skins are all cracked. They are not that big.

Why?

Hi I just received my Elephant garlic. But now I need to plant them and as I never grow garlic before how deep do you plant them? the label say 1-2 inch deep but is this from the base or the tip? Flowers bulbs are so easy it is just twice their depth! But garlic? and by the way how deep for shallots...

Anyone growing the red or white?
and by the way what do you do against caterpillar?
mines were attack this year with my gooseberries and I did not have any fruits.

Thank you

Yes Chantal, that's the quantity I am looking for.

one more thing please how old do they need to be to be mature?

Long term anyway it is cheaper to buy plants than the fruits.

Thank you

Thank you Sprout

Thank you

It was Swift but I plant them very late in late May as I got my allotment late and dig them up early this month. They were small and I got a bucket full of them but they don't taste very nice as salad potatoes it is why I did a mash with them and that was nice.

Thank you

Thank you everyone.

I will do some raised beds in half and leave the other half as it is (minus the weeds)for next year.

Hopefully with some weeds killer and some hard work next year should only be better.

My allotment is drepressing me right now and I was wondering if raised beds would be the answer. I can give it only 3-5 hours a week in general is that enough or should I give it up now?
