Re: Bills 2015 garden veggy diaries

Hi Bill, As always some fabulous tips, love the straw idea ... Must try that ... We had a really poor crop of potatoes last year, can't decide whether to go for them this year or not ... I suspect we will! Hope all is well with you, and hope you maintain the swimming and gardening on one day ... It ...

I spent a fabulous afternoon potting up broad beans, they have grown so well from seed. I have put eight ...

Re: Clucky's Veggie Patch

Another grey day, but fantastic to see my broad bean and pea seeds coming up, we have a glass link which makes a great growing space .... I just wish I had more time. However, it's what you do with the time you have .... So cracking on! Successional beans in today, sweet peas are up along with peas ...

Re: Anyone doing anything ?

Folks must be "doing" now - Jackie, I have a three tiered shelf, I've started off Broad beans and peas ..... What are my Lovely Lane colleagues thoughts on what else I could get going? Don't want to jump the gun, but left it late last year so didn't get as good a yield as I could from my t...

If not buy a tin of barrier paint which is specifically for those sort of problems. Good luck ... May all your st...

Re: boodles garden diary

Sounds very exciting, I will be watching to see how it goes, and no doubt having inspiration ... Good luck with the windowsill starting - it's so good to see them poke up above the soil isn't it? )like( x
