    Thanks, ive looked at many youtube videos and found framers keep them close to pollinate them. So guide you sent I think where it says spacing, is a little bit to big. But what do I know. My first year, so I will learn.

    Sweetcorn and French Beans, French beans are not growing that big, one is in flower at back, not sure if these are going right.

    Just read up to that dwarf french beans do not grow up far, so now removed the canes in the picture. Feel silly now, but guess this is all in the learning.

    I had no idea I am supposed to earth leeks.
    Mine are in a grow bag together with one row of carrots, two salads and some brocolli. The problem is that my hand with the brocolli seeds got out of control and at the moment I have massive brocollis taking the whole growbag over!! Even though I took some out when I realised I have far too many... the leaves are really massive! I have picture but don't know how to put it in..
