Re: Greenhouse disinfection/tomato leaf mould
Just need to remember the key rule in growing, crop rotation, I have heard of people planting tomatoes in the same soil every year, eventually problems arrive. My plan this year is to use the soil as it's a new greenhouse on soil that has not had anything growing in it the last 10 years, next year I...

Re: Parsley-sage-rosemary and thyme ?
I might grow a few more herbs as we are cooking with them more, starting a list and this is inspiring.

Re: Mid-winter Bits and Bobs - 2016/17
Looks like another frost for us tonight, so I've not potted on the leeks and Onions just yet, still their modules. Once we get a warmer spell I'll get those out of the heated propagator, harden them in an un heated propagator and then I can plant Chillies and Peppers in the heated one.

Re: Storing Seeds
I try to sow most of my seed each year and don't save much, but what I do save is in their packets, not in a box nor in a fridge, guess I've been lucky in the past just leaving them in the shed.

Re: Greenhouse disinfection/tomato leaf mould
Did you use the Jeyes on the soil as well, I always used to and never had problems, you might also consider growing in pots and give the soil a break from growing the same crop in the same place.

Re: A view of my garden
Thanks OH, the plan is for 3 plants of each tomato and pepper variety and one Melon, a dozen or so sweetcorn and that will be full. Some of the tommies will go in hanging baskets to save room and I think most of the chillies will be in pots so I can put them in the conservatory if I over winter any....

Re: Hi all
Thanks Shallot man, coming up to a busy time of the gardening year and I ended up in hospital, on the mend, but have to have keyhole surgery to remove my gallbladder in the next month or so.

Re: A view of my garden
Ah it worked, I have three of these raised beds, used them last year for the first time, the greenhouse is brand new, been around 20 years since I had one, really looking forward to using that this summer. The plan is for 5 different types of tomato and 4 different chillies and peppers, bulb fennel ...

Re: Hi all
Thanks Westie, you should also note that I said I'm still learning, not an expert, nor a stick in the mud, but things like modern hydroponics are a bit over my head, but traditional organic is where I come from.

Originally from South Leicestershire, then South Derbyshire, then Staffordshire before emigrating north of t...
