Vranja is a good one, it's the one I have. I think most are grown on rootstocks these days. The most beautiful blossom too.
Try Adams Apples or Deacon's on the IOW, where I go mine from.
Hope that helps.

Quince brandy is better.

Test a few on some damp paper in a warm place to see if they germinate - if so, then most of the packet should be viable. Most seeds are viable for quite a while. Ones that should be sown fresh, though, are carrot, parsley, parsnip and sweet cicely. I've grown good tomatoes from seed over 10 years o...

I've grown the French ones a few times, and found the taste better.

Isn't it a sad old world where you have top safeguard yoru hard -won produce in such ways?

They need to be picked when still green and crunchy, not when they're dried and brown - might be obvious, but wasn't to someone I know

I dig mine the end of October/beginning of November; keep the best ones back for replanting after Christmas. Don't leave in the soil overwinter or the slugs will get them. I'm growing a pink variety too this year, looking forwward to trying them; I thought I'd lost them last year, but they seem to b...

Trying to reply to you, but it says you have your PM disabled. Can you change it, and I'll be able to send you the info. Thanks.

It's quite potent, and very chilli - hot, so go easy, and drink out of tot glasses. 9 fresh chillies - any type, any colour, any variety; put the chillies into a blender with 1/2 pint or so of warm water and w...

Yes; coincidentally, it's my home number 3 gallons of marrow and apple started this morning here. Lots of racking to do next week.

I have a recipe for chilli wine I'd be happy to pass on, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.................

I watched the first one out of interest, but expected to do a lot of - ing, which i did!!
It really was a load of patronising old rubbish; we have since ditched the TV completely from the sitting room, so won't have to endure any more of this sort of carp.

Up until about the end of the month is a good time now. Tehy dont; need hormone rotting powder or antyhing, as I find they strike easily. I leave mine uncovered in a sheltered place until spring, then divide and plant out/pot up.
Hope this helps.

Lots of whites of both kinds here thsi year, mainly on the buddleias; brassicas unscathed in the main, so far, must prefer the buddleias.

1.Yes, they will go red on the plant, but you can use them green as well, when they have a fresher more vital taste, in my experience. 2.Best dried, then you can grind them as needed for chilli powder (make sure you keep a grinder just for this, though, don't use the coffee one); you can thread them...
