jok 3,035 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Just for your information. Tony Glover has the Guinness record for an onion. This little beauty and his pals are from seed from that 18lb11oz record. It has been a pleasure growing them and all thanks to my friend. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are very good eating though. It does look a bit 'sparse' in the photo's but in reality it's not. I prune back any vertical growth twice yearly and it's been working well. I'm not the biggest apple eater and my Mrs and daughter won't eat fruit or veg unless it's wrapped in plastic, so flattening the tree was more for looks BUT for the past 5 years since doing it, i've had bumper crops. And i'm eating more because they are well within reach to pick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted January 25, 2022 Report Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just gave my bed a second turn over this winter. Got some well rotted horse manure sourced to be dug in, in the coming weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,521 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Well spuds are chitting first, Leek and Tomato seed in first of my Lettuce up a red little gem type. Not much in the garden had the last Leek but Purple Sprouting going mad this year. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
borderboy 80 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Got the first plot dug over, it was virtually a weedy lawn after being mostly left to it’s own devices last year. I wanted to go no-dig, but surprisingly difficult to get a large amount of manure/compost to form the beds without breaking the bank. the back 1/3 is designated for hens once I scrounge enough material for a pen, that’s a shed piled up at the back which will become the coop. the second plot is brand new, I’ll need to spend out for some organic matter here, the builders have scraped all the soil away so it’s just a sticky patch of clay. I’m hoping 4tons 7-8 cubic meters should get me going. Got a busy few months ahead, but I’m so pleased to have all this ground to go at, got really lucky to get both these plots. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borr 4,474 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Excellent, missus has two plots on an allotment, she's gone over to mostly soft fruit now as it's our biggest expense fruit/veg wise as kids can graze there on four varieties of raspberries, strawberry, pine berry, goji , login, Tay , red/white/black/blue Berry's , she's off there tomorrow for some prep.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
