RubyTex 1,957 Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Right lads, rhubarb?! We had a brilliant crop two years ago, last year was poor, this year it came through with some vigour and I thought it'll be a good one, but it's stopped growing and a lot of the leaves are yellowing Everything else is doing well, spuds coming up, strawberries (fecking loads) ripening, onions coming up, chive thickening...just rhubarb letting the team down lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your not alone that was the high lights the downs have been new spuds full of holes, Beetroot not germinating very well so took the module root which works. Endless planting of peas that the mice had before I soaked in paraffin. Caulis that I suspect will end up like marbles and as for carrots no comment But the wins more than make up for it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,725 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Is this corn growing ok, I'm new to all this so I'm not sure if I'm over watering or not, it just seems that the leaves seem to be stretching and I was told it could be from too much water but was also told in this hot weather we're having they like water. Any help would be appreciated. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any help would be appreciated. Those look very healthy to me Johnny. Nowt wrong with those. As a side note I tried carrots in a container this year, in among the mint, hoping to hide them from the carrot fly. :no: the buggers still found them.
