:rolleyes: clever arse ;)


now can someone please help me out with my original question? :D

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

pps ........if any accywebbers have any olive tree advice i`d be grateful..:D

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

I`ve broken my garlic bulbs down into cloves and put them in a cool, light area in a tray with my onion sets so when the weather improves and the soil gets warmer i`ll just pop them in the ground and off we go....nowt to it.....;)

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

Why don't you plant in the ground Shaz instead of the tubs?

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

Neil, i'm lazy and can't be bothered digging up that crappy stuff they call soil, plus i can move the tubs about depending on where the sun is ;) if they've been in the sun too long, i can move them to the shade for a while (dont want them getting sunburnt) ;);)

Pipples, do i have to have some sort of green shoot on the garlic before i can plant it?

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

Nope...straight in and the shoots will appear, the ones i planted in november are firing up, even in this cold weather............they are roughly the size of spring onions at the moment

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

so, i break a whole bulb of garlic up, and just plant it? just like that? no peeling or owt?

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

Thats exactly right.................

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

Pointy bit up and a couple of inches down and give `em a bit of room...........oh and by the way is it just shop bought or seed garlic.?

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

shop bought

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

I've already told you, even in tubs outside its still too cold, you can start things inside in pots, to transplant when it comes warmer. Tubs are ok and so are the plastic bags you get builders sand in, but its still too cold, just be patient. Wait till your chest gets better.:tongueout

Guess who popped out of hiding.

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

WALTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

i grew EVERYTHING in the tubs last year without any trouble at all, planted the spuds in tubs in February last year and they where perfect by July

now shut up about that bloody chest freezer ;) its gone and your not having it lol

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

Just asking as the seed garlic is just a bit better for being pest resistant, my shop bought has done ok , The range had seed garlic for £1.99 for 2 bulbs and i think they had a couple of different varieties

Re: 'growing your own veggies' (year 2)
 

ahhh, might pop down to the range this week then, its literally a 5 minute walk from my house, i'd never have thought about buying veggie stuff from there (says her who buys her compost from the range and comes home with a free trolley in the car)
