  • At 15 you are starting early, good luck to you, and I wish you well, I personally was thrown in at the deep end in gardening at the ripe old age of 8, and have loathed it ( at that time) and love it now!

    So I would be happy to welcome you on board, feel free to ask any questions on this thread or any others image

    And ofc good luck Tom!

    Ps should change ur name to Tom Thumb, thought that would be a nice take on ur name lol image

    A qestion about brocholi , we cut some from the main stem last week but lest the stork still in the soil and yesterday we notice there where small broccoli growing from the stem , wondered if anybody out there had experienced this ? Hopes that makes sense

  • The tomato plants in my greenhouse were accidentally sprayed with Weedol which I think is a glyphosate based weed killer. I have removed the affected foliage, and there are loads of well developed but as yet unripe tomatoes. Assuming they survive, will they be safe to eat?

    Oh dear - what a shame.image

    Afraid I wouldn't eat them - no way!

    I wouldn't risk it Veronica just in case.

  • Thank you for your prompt replies, it seems a terrible waste, but probably safest to pull them up right now so I'm not tempted! Plus I usually supply my lovely neighbours, and I would hate to poison them and myself! Oh well there's always next year!

    Sorry, didn't see this earlier - yes that's what broccoli does - you take the top shoot out and it stimulates lots of side shoots - when you harvest them even more will grow - it'll go on like this for quite some time image
