antipodes-I just break off the sprouts that are ready and let them continue to grow.
Humbug carrot-I think we will stick to our usual F1 variety next year
pumpkinlover_ Do they need a frost or been bred not to?
Digeroo - We have very free draining soil so a good F1 is essential or they just blow.I also like picking a whole sprout tree and having it in the fridge especially when the weather is cold.
This year I have not been troubled by caterpillars as I was last year _ wonder if it's because I grew tagetes near them???
it can't hurt anything and will make my garden ecosystem more diverse
I am still not convinced about companion planting etc.I always have in the back of my mind regarding marigolds& tomatoes for example.If there is a fly infestation did they come into the greenhouse because of the Tomatoes or the Marigolds?Lets say it was for the marigolds!Would they have come in if there had been no marigolds?As far as I am concerned the jury will always be out on this one (and similar remedies)Or am I too skeptical?
