I have a small amount of potatoes,grown successfully.I will be going away early September for 5 weeks,returning October 9.Should I lift all the potatoes before I go or leave them in the ground till Oct.?How should I store them?
I want to put a little science project together for school children to test which of the advertised garden "growth products" on sale have the best results. I want to set up the experiment in multiple yoghurt sized pots and get results in hopefully 2-3 weeks. It doesn't matter what a plant I use, just something that will grow quickly - any advice?
My broad beans were very healthy but the leaves have now gone rusty and are withering. No problems in previous years.
I have been growing garlic successfully for years. This year, the garlic grew strongly at first. But, in the last month, it has all wilted and vanished. On either side of the garlic, white and red onions are growing well. .
I have grown courgettes from seed indoors but now that I am planting them out, they are breaking off at the stem. They are in a sheltered area and I've also put down slug repellent, and bed is covered by nets so it's not birds or animals. I don't know what is causing this. I have four more to plant which are hardening off, but want to make sure I don't lose these ones.
I have a clear gel like substance on the stalks of my rhubarb. Can you suggest what this might be?
