Do you let them almost dry out between watering/feeding? yellow leaves are often too much water, peppers don't like to be constantly wet.

Or could you be over feeding them?

or they could just be the old lower leaves falling off? mine do that sometimes.

we have been eating all week stuff ready from the garden. Really happy and there is lots to come!!

Peas, broad beans, courgettes, lettuce, carrots and the first new potatoes.

Fruitwise we had lots of gooseberries, strawberries, raspberries and the logan berries are turning now.

I had to cut off the two main shoots as they just went brown & basically died, but it's started sprouting from the bottom - looks like all will be well. I'll sort out a picture [STRIKE]tomorrow[/STRIKE] today :eek: if I get chance.

Hello. Welcome to MSE and my thread.

What else are you growing then? Sounds like you're doing ok so far. :T

MBE the garden is look great but I am not convinced you will have any lawn left.

Have started to harvest carrots, broad beans, brocauli and cauli all of which will feature in tonights Sunday roast.

Have small toms appearing on several of the plants and some runner beans as well.

A friends husband is going to work in London as of tomorrow and will only be home on alternate weekends, so they have asked us if we will mind their allotment for the year. It's all dug over, lots of raised beds and fully functioning. Can't wait to get started.

So it seems that I'm very good at growing flowers rather than useful food. Unfortunately this doesn't extend to flowers on fruit and veg.

Any suggestions for what actual flowers I can grow that we can eat?!
