Phew!

Glad to hear it..... I googled 'Rhubarb yellow leaves' and got all sorts of stuff about 'crown rot'!

Was getting worried!

Thanks Guys :)

Hi guys, Just a quick question.... My rhubarb has been growing nicely all summer and has been fine - not picked any stalks yet as I know you're supposed to leave it at least a year to settle before taking a crop but..... All of a sudden the leaves have turned yellow! Could itbe crown rot? If so I ca...

I'm thinking about growing some garlic, would be ok in a 'deepish' trough - planter, thingy?

I've got a bit of wasted ground at the bottom of my garden and thought if I built a planter, say 12-18inches deep, say 6-9 inches wide and maybe 3-4 feet long - would that be enough to grow garlic in??

Unfortunately my partner's not one for having 'plants indoors' she thinks it makes the place far too messy! :scratch: She's not much of a plant lover and she's not all that impressed that I've managed to convert a third of the back garden in to raised beds for various fruit and veg - she thought the...

Thanks guys, I did do a search but didn't find anything...

Didn't think drying them on string would turn them red but it obviously works - will give it a shot

I'm guessing due to the number of views but no replies - no one knows the answer then!

I've got several chili plants with tons of green chili's on them currently on some outdoor racks. The variety's I have are Cornio, Banana and Jalepeno - The purple chili's are supposed to be purple when picked aren't they??? :scratch: Due to the not so hot weather only a few have ripened to a nice r...

Thanks for the replies guys, They are planted in a raised bed along with some rhubarb which is growing very nicely :) To be honest though, it is a newly raised bed and I didn't put all that much compost in as I had literally filled it with about 1/3 of a ton of topsoil and leftover potting compost t...

I planted some courgette plants this summer that had been kindly donated but unfotunately they didn't produce, so I'm wondering what to do next... Should I just leave them? Will they survive the winter? If they do are they likely to produce anything next year? Or Am I better just to dig them up, add...

Think I'll take Big Al's suggestion and plant in pots and see what happens.

Nothing ventured and all that.....

I know usually the time to plant garlic is in late autumn/early winter to be harvested mid summer - but! I'd forgotten about some garlic in the fridge and they've started sprouting! Is it worh sticking them in the ground and see what happens? Or am I just wasting my time?? Thanks for any advice! :ic...

Cheers for that guys...

Just one more thing, should I keep raising the side's of the bed or just leave the shoots as they are now?

Hi, I planted some King Edward and 'salad' (not sure what they were!) in early August in the hope that I could possibly be eating my own potatoes in time for Christmas. I've put the majority in a raised bed and one in its own (long and high) pot. All seem to be doing well except I know (well I read ...

My Chillies are turning red! My Chillies are turning red!!

Can you tell I'm excited!!

Fair enough.......just seems an awful long time for these Chilli's to grow!

I'm sure I'm doing some thing wrong, but like you said, I guess I'll have to be patient

Thanks for the advice!
