....clue= ;D..somebody is going to be truly in heaven..... ;)...

Nice clue  ;D

By juniper I'm glad you had such a fun time with the parcel  ;D
What you going to be sowing this year, might be worth getting those Tiger nuts planted soon as  ;D
Go on give us all a taster of what you have added?

[goodlife]

OK...just a little one.. ;D..some Turkish rocket..some Comtesse de Chambord beans..some Taos blue maize..more Tomatoes ::) (silly me)..more chillies...more peas ...salads..onions..umm..more herbs...ummm can't remember all.. ;D ;D
Oh I will get the tiger nuts going..I was going to rummage through some info first so I know what to do with them.. ??? ::)

[goodlife]

Code: [Select]

What you going to be sowing this year
Hmm..there was quite a lot of chinese veg..and some kale and salads..I'm definately going use some of those now and later on..few drawf beans too..there is still time for those...and I was thinking if is is not late for try some of the patty pan type summer squashes..what you think..should they still make it?

[Jayb]

Try starting them individually in pots about 1 1/2'' deep somewhere nice and warm, keep them moist at all times and pot on when needed. They make quit a clump, but if you have them in pots you can keep them in a container to water and it will be easy to move them later on to protect from frost and hopefully have a good harvest  :)

Yes I'd have a go with summer squashy types  ;D

[goodlife]

Ok...and what about Achocca and Jicama..to late for those..?

[Jayb]

Jimca probably too late but others may know better, Achoccha,  Fat Baby I think will be fine, a little late but they love to grow and once they start they don't like to stop  :)
