Morning fellow forkers. I have grow mange toute pea for the first time. After a good crop the plants have stopped flowering and some of the leaves have turned brown. Should i give a feed and hope for some more peas, or pull out and replant more seeds.

    I've never heard of peas or beans producing a second crop, but that doesn't mean they won't.  Why not hedge your bets, cut every other plant at the base, and sow new ones in the gaps?  But don't uproot the spent plants, because the soil and later crops will benefit from the nitrogen in their roots.

    Can anyone help please.I have had lots of sweetpeas growing up canesThe plants have reached the top and are hanging Down. I am not sure what do do. If I cut each plant to be at just the cane height will I stop any further flowers from blooming. I only have a few blooms at the bottom of each cane. Most of the flowers are at the top. I water and feed regularly.

    You can lay the top growth along the canes, and tie them in to stop them flopping. So long as the main shoot is fixed, then the flowers will grow straight out.

    Is your Myrtle in the ground or pot? If in a container, they still need regular watering during the hot weather, and without any high Potash feed, they will not mature well. Have you changed positions perhaps? Remember, they need the sunniest position to thrive. The above still applies for shrubs in the ground, but make sure your soil is made free draining and not in a position of that is exposed.

    I think, re apples, it depends on the type. Some do well in a cool, dry place, stored without touching each other. But that only works if they have no little holes or bruising etc. You can make apple butter to store in jars and chutney.

    You would probably be better off starting a new thread for each question so that apple aficionados can find you.
