Having spotted blossom on one of the peach trees, I've done a quick look at the other fruit trees and bushes for signs of life.

Green leaf buds on:-
Blackcurrant 
Jostaberry
Quince tree 
Raspberries 

No sign of life on :-
Apples
Pears
Plums
Medlar

Do you want to add your progress here?

Any one interested in some Zebrune shallot seeds...I have about 200 too many.

For those not sure, they are actually onions

A friend has asked me where’s the best place to buy a cold frame. So I’m asking you lot   . She is well aware you can make one quite simply. She is also quite aware it won’t happen until August waiting for her husband to make it. If she’s lucky it’ll be this August   . So she would rather just buy one.  Anyway I’m fairly clueless when it comes to using & buying such things. Recommendations for where to look / buy, thank you.

Hello Folks

I started my garlic in modules, when it comes to planting out do I bury them?

My daughter has moved into a new house and would like to know what is growing in her garden (hopefully none are poisonous). Pictures taken this week:

Having layed the hedge and removed some unwanted plants we have a small patch of open ground that I want to plant something on. The area may not be available very long (a year or three) due to renovation plans. The hedge to the left is on the west(picture taken approx 10.30am). Our soil is slightly acid clay. I was thinking wild flowers but wonder if our soil may be a little too nutrient rich for some? Any thoughts on what to plant would be great thanks. 

   

Is there a more attractive plant than Rainbow Chard? 
Wouldn't it look good in a planter with nasturtiums and feathery carrot leaves? Maybe a few red and green leaved lettuces and some Beetroot leaves with dill or fennel.
The permutations are endless!!
In other words, I'll not be growing begonias, busy Lizzies or geraniums this year (unless they fall into my flower pots for no money) but filling the pots with beautiful edibles - that I may, or may not eat.

While boiling up potatoes today I wondered what I could add to them to make them more tasty, ofcourse there are the usual salt, pepper, brown sauce or red sauce, if it's mashed potato you can add butter or milk, but what else can be added to lift the taste of potatoes

Hello Folks

Some of you may remember I said part of the plot fence broke a while ago. You may also remember I said I was "borrowing" the plot therefore could, albeit doubtful, get hoiked off at any time.

With this in mind I don't want to spend a lot but would like some sort of boundary/fencing. I was thinking about the items below any wondered what people thought, don't hesitate to  tell me it's a stupid idea

   

Hi Folks

I've seen people mention this, do the pots to the right look like they have issues?
