[trappa 518]

great stuff! Maybe we could all put some photos up on here , might get some ideas from each other.

Along this path im growing a hedge of raspberries. They have taken well but look like twigs still.

Behind them ive got strawberries planted, this part will be the fruit garden, though at the moment ive got a few cabbage dotted about. As i take the cabbage up i will trade and plant the strawb runners

Not an allotment, I'm just trying to do a bit in the garden for the first time!

 

Not a lot to show yet, hopefully post a few more pictures on this thread as things grow.

 

 

Tomatoes in growhouses:

 

Caulies & cabbages:

 

Carrots, peas & two pots off dwarf french beans:

 

More carrots:

 

I've got some runner beans sown as well, but they're not showing yet.

question about the rhubarb , i planted mine about a month ago, it had 3 stems that grew very quick but before getting to a good size they died making way for new shoots.

 

i have been forcing it (is this wrong until it is established?)

[trappa 518]

Chimp, if its only new then do not force it or take any fruit from it this year. It needs to establish itself first. Just leave it be and water well. I made the same mistake and tried forcing some of mine when it was too young.
