Cheers Johnboy

Could you give me some suggestions of the type of feed to give?

Ta v much

Afternoon Primrose Am green with envy. My mum used to have a fruit cage full of black/red currants, gooseberries and a blackberry. Unfortunatly she could no longer look after it, and at the time I was working unusual hours so the whole thing turned into a jungle. But hopefully this year I will be ab...

Good afternoon peeps

I had always though that you were not allowed to feed carrots (because of the chance of forking), but in this months issue about the carrot family it talked about feedin them.

Does this mean that you can? And if so what type? potash based, nitrogen etc.

Afternoon Primrose It is my own falt I got in to this position in the first place. I just love brocolli and it was my first try since I was about 12 am now 34. Unfortunatly so many grew and so uniformally I could just not bring myself to throw any away (nobody close by growes veg). So just filled ga...

Evening oldherbaceous,

Ta verry much. Was not sure what to do. Will give it a go and cross me fingers.

Also like your comment at the bottem. Verry true of Caithness It will either be dark or rain, and probably both at the same time

Afternoon everyone, I have a strange question for you here. I know that you are not allowed to grow brocolli and the like in the same ground, it neding to be rotated every three years. But can you plant an early variety and when that is finished plant a later one in the same ground, and then use it ...

Morning Bren I have just seen your post. I agree with what has been said above. I have for years grown potatoes in bags filled with compost (due to a lack of space), I use compost and put some potato fertiliser in at the start, and again when I put more compost in to fill the bag. So far this has wo...

Afternoon Diane I grew for the first time last year Vigarmor from D T Brown. It grew really well with a lot of foliage, which hid 6 to 8 shallots. They were all uniform of a teardrop shape with a lovely flavour. Also easy to peal so no need to spend 10 minutes fighting with the outer layers. The fla...

Afternoon Monika I have had this problem in the past as well. Really annoying I Unfortunatly should be more carefull in planting my seeds as they usually pop up too close together. But I have found an old fork with wide tines not round ones can be pressed down with the seedling you wish to keep in t...

Soz not replied untill now

Ta v much

I know what you mean OH, but did not find any. Unless they were hiding and laughing at me. Would not put it past them!!!

Now that you say that you dont think it could have been my old favourite slugs?

Ok I appologise in advance for this vague rubbish explination. Can anyone tell me if the damage on my courgette is thrips. The leaf veins left intact but most of the rest of the leaf gone. If this is the case how do you get rid of the blighters. Ohhh should of mentioned the cold frame they were in w...

Hi Peeps

Ta verry much. Yip I also think it may be pongy clothes peg at the ready!! .

Had not thought about putting them on the compost heap. Talking about that. Is there any position in the garden where they do better, eg in full sun, partial sun etc.

See ya soon

Hi everybody,

Hope you are all fit and well.

Just wondering how to make seaweed fertiliser? Also once made what quantities to dilute it?

And can you mix in nettles to the mix? Have practically a hedge most years!! But good for the butterflies so just cut back if in danger of attacking me.
