Anyone got a walk-in wonderwall? They seem such a good idea-a poly tunnel kind of thing but covered with insect prof mesh instead of plastic. I'm considering buying one-I'm tired of lashups…Continue

Jennifer Wright replied to Natalia Lopes's discussion Spots on my tomato leaves!"Oh dear! It looks very much like potato blight, there isn't a cure and most experts say burn the leaves and plants, but other say try a strong nettle leaf tea sprayed on all the leaves. Blight can infect greenhouse toms just as much as outside…"
Jennifer Wright replied to Simon Andrew's discussion Hello and Help (Shallots)"Hi there, glad to see a newbie growing their own! You'll never want to eat shop bought again!
Your shallots look ok in the photos-they may be suffering from the cold and wet we've been having but they should be fine. Don't forget to…"
Jennifer Wright replied to Jennifer Wright's discussion RABBITS!!!"Thanks all for your suggestions, I don't think the water blaster would work, we have very big garden and given the torrential rain we've been having, it didn't bother the bunnies one little bit!
We've managed to get the pesky…"

Debbie replied to Jennifer Wright's discussion RABBITS!!!"Crikey, WABBITS!! Sounds as though you have the answer, just have to stay up all night with a lamp, which is darned incovenient to say the least. I thought I had problems with slugs. Good luck."
Jennifer Wright replied to Jennifer Wright's discussion RABBITS!!!"Thanks for the tip on grazers Jan, I've looked it up and there's one supplier here in Norn Iron, and it retails around 12 quid-rabbits-get ready to rumble!"

Jennifer Wright replied to Jennifer Wright's discussion RABBITS!!!"We don't have cats but OF has shot some, bu the rest are now more wary-they have started nipping off the shoots, tendrils and flowers and leaving them on the ground-aargh!!"
Sarah Smith replied to Jennifer Wright's discussion RABBITS!!!"We've had rabbits in the garden for the first time this year as well - but our cats seem to be doing a good job encouraging them stay out."
Colin Robinson replied to Jennifer Wright's discussion RABBITS!!!"I guess the only option is a new fence with the wire turned back and dug in at the bottom to make it rabbit proof. Then you shoot all the little bu***rs inside the fence."

RABBITS We've been free of these pests for years, then OF remarked we had'nt seen them for yonks-and of course now we're plagued with them-peas gone, lettuce ditto, just about every green leaf gone-they even got into the greenhouse and ate the chilli leaves! OF shot 5 of them but being rabbits, they've made up the deficit-my garden looks like a stalag wire and mesh everywhere and they still manage to chomp off the pea stems and tendrils that poke out of my defences-what else can I do? HELP!!!See More

How have you stored your carrots?
A good way which is what you may have already done, is I have a crate, I laid a layer of news paper at the bottom then a layer of sand. I covered the carrots, spacing them out as not to touch but keeping them as close as I can. They I covered with another layer of sand and so on. I have kept them like this for some time in my garage. You can do this will all roots
