Re: What can I plant?Lavender? Smells great, looks great, brilliant for pollinators. Should do well in a raised bed too.
Re: A good year for apples?My apples in the garden are only two years old so I removed almost all the fruit as soon as it appeared but our cookers on the allotment are covered, far more than we can use and store but I have used some, along with some delicious wild apples and some dessert apples from another allotment holder t...
Re: Wildlife garden?Thanks guys. Hadn't thought about Buddleia but its an obvious choice thanks LL......at least it is now as coincidence would have it in tesco tonight..... http://i542.photobucket.com/albums/gg417/2005thom/Mobile%20Uploads/20150731_202440.jpg Needs a little TLC but should be able to save it. Reduced f...
Re: Thoms diaryThanks LL. Perhaps I'm just being a little impatient LL! To be honest I have never heard that too much warmth stops toms ripening until I started digging on the internet but a couple of sites suggested that over 85degrees f. Would stope the process. m I reckon my tunnel is around 30 - 35 withing min...
Wildlife garden?Evening all, I'm after a bit of advice and ideas..... So my front garden would be the ideal place for a bit of a 'wildlife garden'. It seems like a popular thing at the moment and I hope it's because people are becoming more aware of the importance of natures little helpers and not just a passing fa...
Re: Thoms diarySo once again I have been terrible at keeping up to date due to a busy busy schedule. Twin girls arriving have kept me on my toes but I have managed to keep up with the growing, just! I have had some success and some not so much. The potatoes seemed to be doinv really well but in June I had to harve...
Re: Thoms Birds!Once again it's been a long time since I have posted, life with new twins is very very busy but amazing! The veg is going well and the ducks have been busy. We have had 3 month long stints of broodiness from different girls, the second time was Mia and she hatch just 1. Sadly it was born with a defo...
Re: What's all this stuff on my tree?Spider mite? No expert at all, just throwing it out there as a friend has recently had a problem with them which looks similar.
Broody duck problems. HELP.Sorry not for sale but need some advice.... Two of my runners are sitting on around 20 eggs, the first eggs are at about day 26 and tonight I found one that had been thrown out of the nest and smashed open with nearly formed duckling inside. The same happened last year and out of a dozen eggs we got...
Re: LL's Gardening DiaryGlad you went for the aqua valves. Im sure you have researched this anyway, but the aqua valve will never maintain a water level, it acts as a flood/drain system so there is a dry cycle as well which obviously allows the roots access to oxygen so no worries about them sitting in water. Of course tra...
Re: I think it might be a crab apple tree?!Great pollinators! My Plum is is blossom, 2 apples are too, but the other 3 are still budding. Love this time of year!
Re: Nice to see LadybirdsWe found loads on the allotment yesterday too, nice to see. If they are still around in such numbers next time I'm up there, a dozen might have to be relocated to my polytunnel!
Re: Thoms diarySo a quick update, I've been very busy the last couple of weeks with the arrival of twins, the garden, allotment and potting bits on.... Here's a few pics of the chillies so far. I have wittled it down to 15 plants so far. I wanted 10 good ones but can't bring myself to get rid of any more from the ...
Re: LL's Gardening Diary 2014Maybe not 100 per plant, but I wouldn't be surprised if they average out at well over 50, last season I had Habs and some superhots producing about 50 pods each and various others that had well over 200 per plant! In fact I reckon I got close to that from an orange habanero too! I will be interested...
