I sowed seeds of purple sprouting broccoli direct into the soil in the spring and transplanted them on 8th April to a sunny spot in a cage well spaced and fed with comfrey tea. They should be harvested at the end of winter but they seem to be maturing now but they seem to be going to seed. Some of the heads are the size of a sink stopper but most are tiny.
I have a few roses that are now hidden by other plants and I'd like to move them to another spot. Any hints?
What can you plaint in the garden or plaint in the Organic garden in Ringsend?
Please put my husbands mind at rest as he keeps insisting they might be usable. He knows nothing about gardening but like all men, never takes his wifes knowledge as 'gospel'. The mushrooms in pics are growing in my garden under a Pine tree. They are beautiful but I would love to know the name of them and if they are poisonous.
I attach a photo of an apple growing in my back garden . I thought I purchased a Bramley apple but it's not. I have it 2 yrs. Originally I planted it in a border but the fruit was making the branches sag, so before last winter I transplanted it to a back wall where it is supported - fanned out. Photo shows l apple with 2 cores - I call it my "Siamese apple." Its a novelty to me - have you seen this before?
I'm planting up pots for wjnter at the moment. planting tulips in layers to give a longer period of colour in spring, any suggestions for what to plant on top of pots to give colour now and throuh the winter, no great success with cyclamen in the past.
