Re: What interesting or unusual edible plants have you grown
I know someone who grows kudoo specifically for it's shading properties in a polytunnel so up and over a pergola so she can use the space beneath for growing spinach and other things that like to bolt in a tunnel in the summer months. V worthwhile and they're bleeding expensive to buy!

Re: What interesting or unusual edible plants have you grown
Daubentons sounds interesting, might have to seek that out as we are kale junkies despite doing battle with magpies over it. Grr. Will give yakon a miss then we have j.artichokes, more than we can eat so seems like a non starter.

Re: What interesting or unusual edible plants have you grown
I grew achocha a couple of years running. You get a fair bit from them and they're very easy. We ate the young and thought they tasted a bit like cucumber. Not the exploding variety though.

Re: Cheapo polytunnels
That sounds like a plan and I have seen them made like that from afar on an allotment that I cycle past. How do you attach the windows to a frame though... My diy skills are not brill.

Re: Polytunnels - maintenance and running.
I'm liking this a lot. Do you think you could get that kind of temp with cow poo and straw? I know chicken poo creates some serious heat but no chickens on our site at the moment.

Re: Guide to growing chilli peppers
This is brilliant, thanks for the link will def be trying this as a germination technique this year. Will probably do it for peppers and aubergines as well.
