Thank you

What leaf is on the left in the bottom photo ? Sorrell ?
Those sweetcorn and tomatoes won't do anything if they're only this size by now, rip them out and sow much earlier next year. They'll need space to grow vertically, those covers will only be any use when the plants are very young.
I have no idea didn't play sorrell tho
What's the docks and grasses? I thought I weeded today and obviously failed lol. Corn and tomatoes will just die off I guess if I leave them? Thats a bugger. Is the watercress OK? Or just partial harvest mizuni, pak choy and the rest is compost? Should be chives and various other things but I made a mess of it really.
Love that thing. On it!
Second pic lower right and most of the third and fourth pic? It's not that clear trying to zoom in on my phone screen but that's what they look like... There's a bit of what might be silverweed and something else I can't quite make out, too.
Brilliant thanks, I planted things basically on the idea I just wanted things in the ground and made a lot of mistakes. Have another raised bed to put up and one with tops that open properly against a wall I can trellis so better for next year to grow tomatoes and maybe corn or similar at the front side without it. Everything is very loose soil/compost so will get the lot out if its useless. Covers are partially since it was mainly supposed to be a salady area but that went tits up. Been removing dandelions all over so familiar with the process. Idk much about the corn or tomatoes so if its best gone then its gone, still have huge amounts and stuff to plant and loads of space so hopefully get some more suited plants in and plan better for next year/etc. Also want to do three sisters and sweet potatoes/japanese if possible and have found what works and got eaten and what did not so a bit of a change in approach. Have to make sure I leave space for future stuff too. Have 2 or 3 big strawberry bagsm, potato bag and some other bits and potentially another bed going in since I have 500l of compost left over from a big order.
You could try doing some as an experiment if you're able to keep them frost-free over the winter but they probably won't do much in the lower temps and sunlight hours. And I'd worry about blight under those plastic raised bed covers. Spring is the next good time to plant potatoes.
Can open the covers and I have one thats a mesh cover but yeh I get it, was really trying to not waste stuff, can always experiement with some in each and see what happens but if its totally out of season I guess its just possibly a problem. Not sure what else to do with sprouted potatoes lol I don't have a garden shredder and we don't have food waste pickup here yet.
Just pop the sprouts off and eat them unless they've been like that for weeks and weeks?
Yeh we just cut whatever off and roasted as much as fitted in the oven, probably have to do more soon or so some mash to freeze for a future cottage pie. Is garlic worth doing from seed or can I just do it from store bought leftovers? Would love to get some soft fruit up, especially berries, again is this worth doing from seed? I feel if I can the cheapest method then I will do, tho I drew the line at blackberries as they get ridiculously hard to remove lately. Rather put in effort than buy ready to go stuff, have so much space it seems daft not to.
Shop garlic will usually work but you obvs won't know what you're getting or how it will do in this climate or when is best to plant it.
). Might be a nice way to try some new varieties or species without forking out nursery prices...I'd consider your climate (do you get late frosts?); disease/pest resistance if you're aware of anything especially being a problem where you'll plant it; what size bushes you have space for; time of fruiting (no good missing most of the crop because you're away on holiday or too busy for picking and jam making); cropping period (longer is usually better but a heavier crop over a much shorter time will be better for jam); how heavily they crop and how easy they are to pick without loads of fiddly stalks to pick out.
I'm not a keen enough gardener to work through that, so I will take the short cut thank you and buy one of the two you have mentioned. Both appear to be in stock at my local posh garden centre. It's a bit pricey but things I have bought there seem to flourish.
Not sure how much space you have but iirc both are fairly compact plants, Ben Sarek especially.
My tomatoes were still flowering (though it's too cold to set fruit) last time I checked! Still some fruit on the vines, I've been picking them as soon as they start to colour and letting them ripen indoors but I'll pick the rest this week and make chutney with the green ones.My runner beans are still putting out flowers which is very optimistic of them considering it’s November
Still got runner beans in the lower polytunnel which I was leaving to dry too, probably ought to pull those now though and let them finish drying inside before the cunts trash those as well.
