OOh recipe BB???? purlease!!
My mate who came over yesterday suggested that I put straw underneath my pumpkins but Im not sure if thats the right thing to do? They are resting on the ground at the mo
Oh! Three winter squash have set and one melon! Hoping for more, but will be pleased with those if that's how it has to be.
As penni said earlier - you really do have to do it to learn - and there's so much I'd do differently having done it wrong or at least not quite right this time, but the fact that it means that at the very least, I'm learning has made the stuff that hasn't turned out to be a raging success quite a lot easier to bare, iykwim!
I have eaten so many tomatoes I think I may be starting to look like one...............
(and the plants are STILL laden)
Plums. Lots of plums. Lots and lots of plums.
I've made plum jam, frozen a load. made plum crumble and a nice plum tart for the freezer. Can I dry them to make prunes? Is that possible? Or am I suffering a plum induced psychosis????????
Most likely powdery mildew. very common and usually triggered by stress from lack of water.grrr, just went slug killing, and noticed that my corgette plants have got some wierd white mould all over their leaves, and also spotted some critters poking out of the top of the sweetcorn, investigated one of them and it looks half eaten or something.
not happy, and hoping that the mould doesn't transfer to the pumpkins and squash... any ideas what to do about it anyone?
Me too - and more tonight, with some more aubergine!
Too much rain here now! Lots of my tomatoes are splitting - loads of the plants have fallen over and are now being precariously balanced up against walls etc, some of my aubergines are just moulding away....
But tbf, at least I don't have to water.
