Hi Anj, Yes i had my complete vegetable plot destroyed by hail damadge..hoping it re grows..does anybody know how tgo protect against hail damadge...would plastic sheeting work? and is it good for the plants
Have just been out to water all my veg etc in greenhouse to discover that the lavender hedge that i have grown from cuttings is covered in rosemary beetle!!! Lavender was the only plant that the pesky rabbits dont chomp. Boo hoo. Cant spray as dont want to hurt bees and too close to greenhouse! Woe is me!I live in surrey.
Hail down in parts of Hampshire earlier this week too, but luckily we escaped. I suppose you could use plastic sheeting and it would work but the problem would be ,making sure that it was removed promptly as polythene over plants when the sun comes out again would be potentially fried-alive-disaster at this time of year. If it were a recurrent problem I'd settle for fleece or very fine mesh
We had quite a storm here over the weekend, it came from nowhere, wind rain and hail stones. Did a bit of damage, by the amount of plums I have been given, a lot of fruit must have come off the trees. Within a day the ground baked hard and I have had to fork over to allow the next shower to penetrate, forecast says we could have showers, but we shall see. Anyways its back up to 34 in the shade here in Mindya Bulgaria.
Hi All, I'm new to gardening and for a couple of years now grown the normal Tomatoes, Peppers and Chillies in the conservatory. This year I bought myself a new Greenhouse yippee! no more complaining from my wife about 'your' plants.Ok, the question. I have heard/read that sweet-corn should be grown in groups for cross pollination purposes. However this was after I plant 2 in the same large pot in my newly acquired Greenhouse. Both have 2 large cobs on them now and seem to be doing well. I feed them at the same time as feeding my tomatoes. Is there any reason why I should only plant outdoors. I live in the Scottish borders town of Innerleithen. Thanks for reading this any any tips on my sweet-corn would be most welcome! Phil
