Colin Robinson replied to Kamila Przekop's discussion When to plant out chillies"Same here. It's hard enough getting a decent crop in the greenhouse, especially with a year like the last one. My peppers are not yet ready for final potting but at least the greenhouse adds a few weeks to the end of the season."
"I must admit that I have never tried to grow chillis outdoors, it must be a lot warmer where you are! I always grow mine in the greenhouse, just potting them up as they grow ending usually in a 9" pot. My earliest chillis which are a cayenne…"
"My chillis are being gradually accustomed to outdoor conditions. Overnight they are in little plastic mini-greenhouses (which I strongly recommend!). I expect to be planting them into bigger pots next weekend, and if the weather allows they will be…"

Hi. I have a question about when to plant out chillies. Has anyone planted out there chillies yet? When does everyone usually put them out? The last two I put out got shredded by the gales we had a few weekends ago, so I am a bit worried to put them out yet. Any help would be highly appreciated please ? Thanks. Kamila. See More

"I usually cover my beds with compost in autumn, then a dig over in spring, and off we go! As Andrew said weeds are always going to appear - it's nature, just keep hoeing."

John Martin replied to Kamila Przekop's discussion Do you cover up weeds in last autumn and winter"I dont cover my beds and hand weed them as I go along.

Comfrey
Posted on January 10, 2013 at 22:28 4 Comments 0 Likes
I have been reading up about Comfrey as I understand it is fantastic for the compost bin but it is a weed. Has anyone had any experience with growing Comfrey on their plot or in their garden? I read that the best Comfrey is Bocking 14. Has anyone had any experience about this type? I am in two minds about ordered it as I don't want it to take over the plot on my allotment. Any help would be appreciated please. Thanks.
Butternut Squash
Posted on December 19, 2012 at 15:26 0 Comments 0 Likes
I had a nice surprise a few days ago when some of my butternut squash seeds (from a butternut squash I had bought) started sprouting. They were looking sorry for themselves and were very yellow, but having looked after them they are now bright green and in good health. I don't know what they are but I hope they survive winter.
Kamila.
