terryd 8,414 Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 That is what I use and now you mention it no reason it couldn't be attached to some bigger uprights. Some thing I literally threw up for me currants last year Be interested to see his frame Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,414 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 runner beans up and away Calabrese looking surprisingly healthy so far more cauliflower and calabrese into day one thing I have learned is if using the toilet roll tubes best to remove when planting out as once they dry out I don't think the roots can get out and these french beans don't look happy compared to these going in direct sweet corn out today so the slugs can have a good feed tonight gave them a bit of shelter from the wind climbing tall peas making there way up 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,414 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I started some pea off in it once and slide them out I think keeping it watered is the issue maybe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,414 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) Well I think I should have took notice of the forcast and kept sweetcorn until mid week it wont have enjoyed yesterday. That is the trouble some times you just have to do things when you have the time rather than when you should Edited June 2, 2015 by terryd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,414 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Planted out some nice savoy today they did really well in the cold frame plenty of broadbeans started to pick lettuce onions are not looking that great compared to others on the plots. My neighbour thinks my plot hasn't had much manure over the last 30 odd years netted the gosgogs before they go bye bye currants have some thing wrong and looks quite serious they are not cropping and hardly any new growth so I need to sort them had a great crop last year. They have lots of bind weed around the roots maybe that not sure 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I can taste those farr now, Lightly steamed with lashings of salt butter....MMMMMMMMMM TC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,414 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Pulled the garlic this morning seems to have done good again. Tempted to yank the onions out the way they don't look like to are going to do any good. Then again they may start to bulk up a bit after the longest day maybe mmm. I know one thing this winter I am really going to pile on some manure Quote Link to post Share on other sites
