Pink rowan
Posted by: Small chilli - 13-11-2020, 03:59 PM - Replies (1)

I’ve just been handed a bag of pink rowan berries. How would you go about germinating them?

Plant them as they are?
Clean seeds then plant?
Heat or no heat ?
When ?
Something I’ve not thought of?

I was going to try as they are some outside, some in tunnel, some in propagator (as it’s running & has a bit of space).

Morning Folks

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a list of all attachments associated with a thread?

For example the screenshot below shows the "tell us what you did today" thread, if you hover over the attachment symbol(paperclip) it states there are 54, can I get a list of these somehow?

  Succession sowing/planting?
Posted by: Broadway - 12-11-2020, 07:06 AM - Replies (27)

Morning Folks
 
I’m just curious what people do regards succession sowing/planting, if you do anything that is?
 
For clarity  I’m not talking about one crop following another I’m talking about the same crop.
 
Do you sow the same variety at different intervals or different varieties with differing maturity dates?

  Growing garlic for the first time
Posted by: Can the Man - 12-11-2020, 01:30 AM - Replies (20)

I bought some pink garlic and some white garlic, Don’t really know the difference between them, so I bought 1 packet of each.
I have sowed 2 bulbs of each, each bulb gave me about 11 or 12 cloves. I sowed the pink ones about 2 or 3 weeks ago and the white ones about 11/2 weeks ago.

They seem to be doing good so far, as I’ve never grown them before I have no base line.
This is what they are looking like.

  Advent Seed Calendars
Posted by: Veggie - 11-11-2020, 09:18 PM - Replies (138)

Some of you may remember that for the last few years I've been "making" my own Advent Seed Calendar - basically, dipping my hand into a bag of seed packets each day and sowing a few of whatever I pull out. I know that SC has joined me in this Festively Nutty adventure - even making her own amazing Advent calendar. Smile

I've just had a mail shot from Victoriana Nurseries selling one for £55 https://www.victoriananursery.co.uk/Chri...UeUo7wXSIw and I saw another retailer I'd never heard of with one for sale. 

I'm giving you advance notice that I shall be doing this again this year - and it will cost far less than £55. Wink I'd welcome some company while I try to get in the Festive mood.  Rolleyes

  Poppies
Posted by: Veggie - 11-11-2020, 12:31 PM - Replies (4)

Today, November 11th, I shall be sowing Poppy seeds in memory of those who gave their lives for us.

Flanders poppy seeds can be sown in Sept/October so Nov 11th is only a bit too late!
I'll be sowing other poppies too as I love poppies but don't have much luck growing them. Maybe this year?
