I tried these pots last year and they worked fine. they are almost 6″ wide so I put 3 peas in each then plant as one. When I had a bigger garden I used to set peas off in plastic guttering that was really good much better success rate than planting direct I found.

It will be ok once I get the flowers pots back in place, but for now I want to set up my cold frames so I can make some space in the greenhouse. I have been hanging on a bit as the nights are so cold at the moment down to 3 some nights even in my sheltered back garden.

Thank you all for your comments Today I have sown a few more tomato and some cucumber seeds. A couple of friends are hinting they cant buy their tomato & cuc plants and dont know what to do so I have put a few extra in. I pressure washed the pavings yesterday and gave them a coat of sealer today as it has been a lovely day today good drying… -

Yes I am afriad I do get carried away a bit with seed sowing then I struggle for room to prick them out. The weather has been cold here so some plants I have overwintered could do to be out. I have a cold frame I set up when required so I think the will be the next job and move some stuff into that.

I still can`t get over the delivery cost from ebay. They have just sent me an email asking if I am still interested in the compost. I have sent them a polite reply declining their offer.

Good for you!

Hi Jane the reason compost is so important to me and my gardening is I only have a small garden now and most of my plants and the main thing veggies are grown in containers, as well as pots and hanging baskets. My worry was I am chitting my spuds and wanted to set off the earlies and only had one bag of compost. I had enough to set some off but…[Read more]

So glad to hear you’re sorted, Frank
I’ve had compost from Wickes before and didn’t have any problems with it, so enjoy the planting and eating -

I tried the only small independent nursery that I know and they had on their website a message saying they were hoping to set something up. I sent them a message just to ask if they had any idea as to when or if this might happen, but up to now I have had no reply. However see below for further info.

Evening all how is everybody managing with these strange times we are in at the moment. I have been sowing seeds in the propagator, pricking out seedlings as they are ready, I have already got more tomatoes than I need but my friends inform me that they are not having much luck with their seeds so I am sure I will find a home for my surplus. I am…[Read more]

Morning Frank. My greenhouse is getting full too and, as you say, still too cold to put stuff outside. If you can find a small nursery in your area they would probably deliver compost to you. That is what is happening round here. Happy sowing

Hello Frank
good luck on the compost hunt! I have a lot of tomato seedlings too and will probably put some directly in the soil in the sun. They’ll take longer to ripen but that doesn’t really matter. Take care -

Hi Karen
I have used industrial vermiculite in the past and was ok. The only trouble with vermiculite was that the particles were quite large but it worked and had no detriment to the plants.I notice it says on the bag sterile and neutral PH so I personally would try it I am sure it won`t harm your plants and should achieve the same benefits as…[Read more] -

Growing Vegetables 2 months agoI like Lady Christl Tubs, I have grown for the last 3 years. I grow in them in bags and they do ok. and if I am a bit late harvesting them in doesn`t matter they just keep growing to 2nd earlies. They are a good all-rounder.
