Views: 1346 | Comments: 5 I have just harvested my first crop of Hinnomaki Red Gooseberries. They are more a reddy-black and have an unusual taste more like blackcurrants than gooseberries . Anyone grown them before? Are they meant to taste like that when ripe? ![]() July 16, 2024, 00:02:48 by cambourne7
Views: 2188 | Comments: 4 Hi All, So am now turning my attention to the garden and getting some veg in the ground for the winter as i suspect with this weather were going to have lots of failed crops. And i need to adjust cooking for one as daughter is still not keen on lots of veg including onions. Have tomatoes, courgette, aubergine, cucumber (which i hate paul liked), stir fry veg, peppers in greenhouse and my Brussel sprouts roots from last year have resprouted (had cut off just above soil and left as soil from frozen) so i might get some sprouts. I did have some cabbage sown but its fried in greenhouse when i got distracted and did not water for a few days. Have had tons of failed seeds this year (new seed stock) and have finally got some peas to germinate which i put out yesterday once i seen green bits :) Need advice on growing for one, how do you decide what to grow (not good at freezing stuff) and how much to grow. Feel like i am starting again from scratch. Cam ![]() July 07, 2024, 09:24:37 by saddad
Views: 3318 | Comments: 2 My two caged cherries, sunburst and summer sun, are doing well, 3.5 kg picked yesterday, and probably the same again to come, unless they split (we are promised thunderstorms today). Lost quite a lot to rot, with it being so wet, but suspect a pest is puncturing the skins, tiny holes, and presumably later some sort of maggot... anybody else got the same problem? ![]() |
