Cabernat replied to VP's discussion John Harrison - THE unknown popular gardening author? in the group Book Club"I've got his Veg Growing Month by Month & I agree that it is a very useful book especially if you are new to growing veg. I also have his book called Low Cost Living which is worth reading to. Again it is down to earth & covers a wide…"

Stephen Shirley commented on Cabernat's group Kent Gardeners"I've posted full details in the events section - but just a quick note to say that after the success of this past Saturday we've decided to have a Chilli tasting day this coming Saturday (25/09/10).
If you do make it along please make…"
VP replied to Cabernat's discussion Greengages in the group Ideas & recipes for using Gluts up!"I'm sure any recipe which calls for plums or damsons could be adapted for greengages. As they're so delicious and sweet when fresh I think a greengage fool would be yummy too.
I've just had to do something similar with a bag of…"
Stephen Shirley commented on Cabernat's group Kent Gardeners"Provided you've hardened them off, Sweet Peas should be hardy to -5C so for Kent I would say March / April should be fine (but you never know!). If in doubt protect on dodgy nights!"
Zoë replied to Cabernat's discussion Greengages in the group Ideas & recipes for using Gluts up!"You could make a Chutney, adapting a plum chutney recipe to use the gages instead. I love just to eat them fresh, stewed, in a crumble or a pie, or maybe you could preserve some bottled in syrup to have in the winter months?"
Stephen Shirley commented on Cabernat's group Kent Gardeners"We're harvesting our sweet pea seeds today.
Whilst you can start them off in the Autumn I personally don't think you gain that much - and if light levels are poor you will be pinching out all the time and still end up with leggy…"
Cabernat commented on Cabernat's group Kent Gardeners"Does anyone grow sweet peas? I've only grown them once by starting them early in the year. I want to plant the seeds in the greenhouse soon but not sure about when to put the seedlings outside. Would the survive the winter outside?"
Cabernat replied to Damo's discussion What composting method are you using?"I have a bought slightly conical compost bin with lid which does work very well. Also as we changed to using wheelie bins I turned the old dustbins upside down & cut a hole in them & used the lids as..well lids! These work well & are…"

I'm one of the editors at Fifty Magazine, which is a brand new online mag for the 50+ - I've been having a look over your discussions, blog and comments and have really enjoyed reading everything!
Would you like to have your gardening tips/hints/pieces featured in our Readers' Corner on the site? It would be exactly the same as the things that you put on here - just the content would be on our site as well, complete with you as the author and a link to UK Veg Gardeners so that our readers can see everything else you've written and the rest of the site.
If you like the idea of this please let me know!
Thanks,
Hannah.
