Tuesday 24th March 2015 Managed to get Tomatoes all repotted yesterday ,i have put a video on that i did for hear a couple of years back ,most will have seen it but maybe some that haven't give you an idea as to how i go about it. rDnyqSAHweM Have moved the repotted ones back into the house but on a...

Iknow what you mean about growing potatoes ,sometimes it just doesn't seem worth the effort ,i enjoy growing them ,bit like metal detecting never know what you are going to find ,its the following year when you get them growing again through all your other crops , no matter how you try you just can'...

Iv'e sown 30 was going to half them with friend and grow block 5x3 they in un heated room. If they were mine i would abandon them and start again at end of April ,but they are not mine ,but if you keep them be prepared to chit some more if they do fail ,if it turns warm you may be tempted to put th...

Hi Bill, well overnight the sweetcorn have emerged, about half inch.I gather i keep them indoors but will they get too leggy? didn't know i should have sown later, but don't want to loose them now,advice please. It is trying to stop them growing that is the problem ,really don't want to be in garde...

Hi Carol i usually chit my sweetcorn in last week of April or first week of May dependent of howe long range weather is looking ,once chitted keep warm and usually poking through compost in less than a week .If your nights are still cold as they are hear you may find they rot in the pot if not kept ...

Friday 20th March 2015 After a cold dull start turned into rather a nice day ,got my Onion sets in today 7 rows 14 per row ,got them under a net as the pigeons enjoy pulling them out once the green shoots show . http://i743.photobucket.com/albums/xx80/billnorfolk/DSCF1848_zpshmvhjzax.jpg Once your T...

Lovely - hope a few of those early outdoor seeds come up, early veg is so lovely - have a great Sunday x Morning Carol ,don't forget your bucket and shovel .Having the ageing mums over today mine 96 Wendys 94 ,though she only...

It is a bit isn't it?! To be honest, I can't persuade my DW that every windowsill should be covered with pots at the moment so my one little light box is my best chance really! Also, I do like a head start! I'm growing sweet aperitif and Roma and I might start one more variety too, maybe sung old a...

Chillies looking well ,they make a nice indoor plant .I have in the past grown different Toms but always stick with Moneymaker as the main ones ,Wendy makes lots of chutney so need a prolific fruiter to get lots for chutney ,grew gardeners delight for first time last year and i couldn't leave them a...

Wow they are shooting up! Mine were planted the same day and are only just peeking through the soil. I wonder if the variety makes a difference or it's just conditions. I will have mine under lights for a few weeks so hopefully will catch yours up! Thats cheating ,the gardeners delight were a full ...

You can do the same with chillies and peppers too BTW Out of interest, sweetcorn can also be planted deeper than the original soil level and roots that develop after help to anchor the plant better. Thats interesting LL,though i usually set mine closer than recommended and so far they have held each...
