Roquito chilli pepper pearls - ?
Good Afternoon all, Hope you're all doing well and your plants are doing well? I'm at the green tom stage and quite a few small peppers! So fingers crossed it should be a good crop I've been eating quite a lot of Roquito chilli pepper pearls - however as hard as I look, can't find what type of chill...

Re: Bulk (cheap?) fertilizer
Thankfully I do love tomatoes! Looking forwards to fresh toms and then salsa and chutneys and then tom soup and puree! Got quite a range of beet toms and cherry toms too! Will see if I can get a photo uploaded

Re: Bulk (cheap?) fertilizer
I'll have a look at the ones you mentioned John - what is FBB? By "growing plants on mass", I mean 45 tomato plants, 30 chilli / pepper plants, 10 blueberry plants, 15 strawberry plants, 4 blackberries and then the rest of bits and bobs! My mistake of "plant 3 x the amount as there wi...

Re: Aphids!
Thank you for your advice

Please can people let me know if there is an easier place to buy bulk feed, or possibly make my own? (Looked into comfy, but can't get it in bulk locally and it's too late in t...

Aphids!
Good afternoon all
I've got 2 batchs of Toms, 1 is healthy and doing well, the other (further down the garden) is full of Aphids. Is there any gentle / pet friendly tricks people recommend? I couldn't remember if soapy water was for Aphids or not?
Thank you!

Free plants (from wormaries)
We bung all the kitchen scraps into the wormary. Last year I used some of the resulting compost and got a little forest of tomato seedlings - however it was late in the year and they all died. I kept compost in a dark bag (rubble bag) until this spring. Put a thin layer, approx 1 inch thick, into se...

Re: WANTED - Porophyllum coloratum
Just bitten the bullet and bought it! Also got some funny looking tomatoes ('Reisetomate' Pocketbook Vine Tomato) and some sweetcorn. If it's as "good" as people say, I'll put some seeds up on here, for swap, after its 1st year. From the Guardian website : m "The herb papalo (Porophyl...

Re: WANTED - Porophyllum coloratum
No worries
I hadn't heard about it before either&can't find much about growing it (apart from its meant to be easy). Realseeds have a minimum order&I'm up to my neck in seeds... but this one peeked the interest!
