  • Got my first allotment space today. Can anybody give me some advice on anything I can do with it, or should be doing with it at this time. I'm very excited and eager to get going. Any advice would be great.
  • Butternut squash likes a large space to roam in the sunshine.
  • Can any one help with how to keep foxes off my Christmas potatoes? I have tried cloches with fleece and even a fruit mesh I made a box frame covered with mesh which they have destroyed and my potatoe leaves are broken.
  • hi everyone I have just got my allotment and would like some advise from experienced growers. I have cleared and made some raised beds but don't know what i can plant at this time of year, any advise would be most welcome. thanks.
  • I wonder if anyone can throw any light on why the flowers on my sweet peas kept disappearing just leaving the stalks. Birds were suggested, but I tried covering with fleece for a while and still the same thing happened. Is there an insect which is especially partial to sweet peas? If anyone can give an answere, I would be most grateful. Thanks.
  • Can any one help I have just taken over an allotment this summer and I have never grown any thing before. I planted some spring cabbage at the end of August which were doing well but now the upperside of the leaves are going yellow and underneath there are white powdery spots.
  • Well its our first year at Veg growing and we have learnt a few things For example thin out carrots or you end up with something out of a biology lesson. we lost all our cabbages red and white to a catapillar and his 3 million relatives and I was so looking forward to the red for Christmas.

    Gary -you will need to start a new thread perhaps if you want people to see and answer your problem.
