The Good and the bad

[Tee Gee]

The Good;


Aubergines picked this morning



Watermelon has set;



The Bad!!

Mildew on Onions



Bald Chrysants; I have grown these for over twenty years and this is the first time this has happened. I have around twenty out of eighty plants like this;

TeeGee Oh what a shame about your onions and crysants, what caused the problem with the crysants?  I seem to remember you posting about them but I can't find it.
Regards Lorna.

 Hi tee gee,
                     What effect will the mildew have on the onions? Does it affect their storage ability or their size?

Tee Gee, looking at those Chrysanths i would sat you have had a visit from MR Rabit

[cleo]

Those Aubs - not speaking to you any more, TG!!

I know the feeling Tim!


Outstanding Tee Gee-when did you set them off?

[Mrs Ava]

Tut, I stopped talking to Tee Gee ages ago.  My aubs only just have flowers!  :-\

Shame about the chrysanths though.  Piegons, rabbits, deer or slugs??

[Tee Gee]

when did you set them off?

Sowed 5th March

Germinated 12th March

Pricked out 22nd March

Planted out 10th May

I'm a bit worried about them though??

The leaves are flagging, drying up & discolouring.

They look as if they are wanting watering when infact I know they don't need it.

Anyone know what might be troubling them?

[Tee Gee]

My guess is.............they are cold!!

What do you think?

[tuinman]

probably right, cold and damp air. Mine also have yellowing leaves but they do seem strong enough to keep going, fingers crossed
