Yes, one day it's 80 and the next it's in the 50's. No wonder the broccoli is confused. It doesn't know whether to grow or faint away in the heat.
@Pacnorwest you must garlic press @Zigs about growing garlic. His stories have stories. I recall he might have grown garlic commercially but it left a funny taste in his mouth. Was it 50,000 plants?
Not quite that many Mr Mechanic but I did supply the local shops and pubs I started off with 3 bulbs, got them up to about 5,000 and then got wiped out with onion white rot These are coming on well this year, planted in November from Solent Wight stock.
We went to Folkestone garden centre today We were going to buy some fruit trees but they didn't have the varieties we wanted and the ones they had were £60 each Just got some seeds, onions and a very nice Opuntia
A famous person once said, “ You can’t always get what ya want, but maybe sometimes you can get what you need. It looks like a good collection there.
Ta Sjoerd He came from Kent Mick Jagger met Keith Richards on Dartford railway station. He noticed the Blues records he was carrying and started talking to him. They recognised each other from School and later went on to form The Rolling Stones
I love the Rolling Stones, but Tetters, being from Kent, can't stand them I sowed 2 lots of tomatoes last week, some very old Manx Marvel seeds, which came up quickly, and some fresh San Marzarno seeds, straight from the tomatoes, which haven't come up. I realised they probably still have the enzyme on the seeds that stop them germinating so I put the rest on to ferment for a few days. You wait till they smell bad and then dry them out on tissue paper before sowing. This should break down the enzyme and enable germination. I knew this already but forgot as I'm getting old now
