Anyone out there making cider I’m looking for tips on brewing and ideas on anything related to it.

Hi everyone, I’m back after a long absence of illness. Does anyone have problems with their tomatoes growing like ferns I’ve heard it could be herbicide in the compost if so would it be best to throw them out or are they safe to eat.

Hi All,

I am going to be replacing the planting structure i have in the greenhouse in october once all the crops are out and the last 2 years once i have cleared the greenhouse in october nothings is grown till april the following year.

(greenhouse does have a small heater but i try not to use it)

So other than salad crops what can i put into greenhouse over these months?

I am wondering if carrots would grow or onions? I did try carrots but they went to seed and were tiny :(

I bought some Cucumber seed - Merlin variety and have a healthy plant growing in the greenhouse. However it is only about 2 foot high and doesn't seem to want to continue up the netting I have set up for it although it does produce cucumbers at the nodes.
Have I bought a variety that is smaller than usual?
The seed companies that sell it don't give any information about the height or suggest it is anything other than a standard climbing variety.
