"Apple products worth £5m stolen from lorry on M1"

My immediate thought - its millions of apple pies or rare fruit trees.

Some Broad beans and winter hardy Peas can be sown October/November. 

Do you do this and which ones have you sown or are going to sow - and how?? 
Any hints/tips/experiences you'd like to share?

I've started some Super Aquadulce  BBs in modules in the GH and I'm sorting out some other seeds as we speak.

Hello Folks

I've been working on my plans for next year and wondered if one of you guru's could check / confirm I'm ok with the follow-on crops suggested below?

Khol-rabi and Paq Choi to follow Potatoes
Spinach and Chard to follow Broad Beans

Also, can Broccoli follow Onions??

Thanks in advance.....

What varieties of courgette are parthenocarpic?  I've found Partenon F1, and Sure Thing.  Do you know of any others?

I'm thinking of starting off an early courgette next season (or this).

Humour me.
When you go into your garden or go out for a walk do you bring something back with you? 
Something you find that appeals to you - a little treasure! It could be a flower, seed head, fir cone or on the beach, a shell or a pebble.

I've realised that whenever I go into the garden I always pick up something - could be an apple, a broken flower, a single tomato or a couple of "cuttings". 
Today, on separate journeys down the garden I brought back some apple mint to put in water in the kitchen, a windfall apple, a dahlia that had snapped off in the wind and twice I brought back an egg (not the same egg - 2 different eggs!).

I'm wondering whether its some sort of compulsion not to come home empty-handed? So I'm looking for reassurance that I'm not the only little treasure hunter here.

Old news but still interesting if you're puzzling over which varieties of veg seed to grow.

First time growing leeks and they are probably a 1/4 of the circumference they should be.

I'm assuming I can leave them in for as long as it takes them to mature, even if it takes 6 months next year?

Looking through the threads I see that some folk have their seeds all organised, so was wondering how much time is taken up doing this as opposed to just putting them in a box then rummaging through all your seeds to get what you want and of course (we'll in my case) when you are doing that there is always other seeds that you come out with that you can sow, is there any spontaneous removal of other seeds when everything is organised?

My wife was watching a program on tv about Brits living in France restoring or renovating chateaus. One of the gardens was planting tomatoes and had these very clever supports. Anybody ever use these ?

Thought they were a great idea
