terryd 8,045 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Birds had all my fruit,lol need to get down there,bet there's loads of apples been blown off the big tree down on my plot. Could do with a few bags of apples in the freezer I need to have a word with the lady down the plots her tree is hanging with fruit every year. Sweet corn seems to be good this year with decent pollination for a change they just need a bit more ripening 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 5,966 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 I'm definitely going to be growing corn again next year, straight off the plant in the pan you can't beat it. Is there any better plants than earlibird? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,036 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 You are a daft lot of boogers. How on earth do you spear spuds? Go steady from the side. Don't go straight for the plant. Easy does it guys. No rush. My worst nightmare this year is that the frigging whites laid on or near my Brussels and purple sprouting. No more of either. Good point is that having never tried outdoor tomatoes, got a good healthy crop searingly free from blight. Taste nice as well. Leeks look not to be blighted and never had a crop of either green beans or courgettes like it. Took over another plot which I plan to cover with an old marquee frame and poly. Can't believe the Council have given me the go ahead. The ide is that I grow all the early stuff from seed to everyone's benefit, and then start my own sowing. We will have to wait and see.

jok 3,036 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 You are a pair of things. How can you rush gardening? Calm yourselves gentlemen and enjoy. At this time of year you got to remember, if it looks like a weed it is a weed , get it out. All them tap roots need deep removal and your paths cleared of bindweed and twitch. Like your posts as always. Let's get cooking.jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,036 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Got to admit, never seen one. The most tines I've had is 7. Wonder what it was originally for?? Anyhow they should be more careful. Lol. We spend so much time getting it right and so little time getting it wrong. I think I should be a poet or a song writer lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
