seem to be spending all my time sowing seeds, so instead of listing them as and when they're set, I thought it would be easier just to list them at the end of the week.
tendergreen french beans, incredible sweetcorn - proper corn this year not babycorn, delikett peas - mangetout type, spring onions, kohl rabi, green magic broccoli - hopefully grown, cropped and out by July, courgettes, pumpkins from home grown seed, ophelia aubergines, nasturtiums, pyrethrums - a bit late to flower this year, pink evening primroses, and duchess blue ice asters
Oh this sounds great! I am envious. I have such a tiny space for growing veg, not that I am a very gifted gardener. The sad thing is that I try so hard - yet do end up with carrots full of black things and gooseberries stripped clear of leaves, etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteYou might have some advice about a plum tree, perhaps. Its leaves keep curling up but they don't have that scabby stuff on you get with peach leaf curl. I have looked in my gardening book and it doesn't say anything about it. I sprayed it with the stuff you're supposed to use against peach leaf curl anyway.
We have a miniature peach tree which gets scab - red blisters on the leaves. I deal with them by picking off the affected leaves. The tree looks bare for a while but then puts out new leaves which are generally fine. I'll look through our gardening books - there are a lot and see if I can find anything specific and helpful.
