Up the bum - no babies!!!
Why do you wait?
I've just been doing them whenever I see them, even if they're tiny - is that wrong?

Oh I dunno, I'm thinking a vibrating device might be quite fun.....
I have some teeny buds appearing but no flowers yet. My runner beans have started to flower. I love the flowers, they are so pretty and delicate, funny to think something so huge is going to appear from them later.
Your beans are at full height? That's quick. Dont worry, my peppers are only a little ahead of yours.I planted mine well early too and despite having a south facing garden the only things Ive eaten so far have been lettuce, parsley and one solitary strawberry
My peppers are like 2 inches tall.
Lots of flowers appearing on my runner and broad beans, the courgette plants are really growing well and the cabbages need planting on before I can go to glasto
Brilliant!! Big B&Q buckets for you then!I have been given some little cucumber plants and tomato plants. Eek! I will be begging for info. soon

Is there any way of making holes in buckets that doesn;t involve drilling?
LOL, gg
Some slightly more specific instructions would help!
Lovely cherries Melinda but at your harvesting techniques
Glad you're still in one piece
I might get the orange ones too, just to annoy gg!
Oh?! Huge buckets or what?Brilliant!! Big B&Q buckets for you then!
Cute! Do I need sticks for them too then?Here are my mini cucumbers.

God this gardening lark is confusing. Loving it though
My book said ideally not to plant tomatoes out until they'd begun flowering, but I ignored that with the single one of the lot I grew from seed and that plant's actually the only one that's started flowering now - so I'd say go for it citygirl (and definitely if they're flowering)!
The two I have in the bed look much perkier and happier than the rest.
Ive done the ring culture thing in years past, not a lot of effort for a lot of reward. Im not doing it this year as growbags are so ugly, instead Ive either cut them in half and stood them up vertically, and dumped the compost into containers.If I ever used growbags again it would be ring culture where you put a collar on and earth up the main stem and basically funneled the water into the growbags - though maybe that's why growbag compost is so coarse ...
They did it on an old Gardener's World I watched last night.

Has most of that been transported on your bike, or has your brother been generous with his time?!My greenhouse has taken 16 x 14 = 224 litres of B&Q MP this time round - near as dammit two big bags.
