I have things sprouting on my windowsill that I've labelled sp and mg. I know that sp are the sweet peas but have NO IDEA what mg is. I also have more flowers on the pepper plant.

Bit worried about my new quince - some of the leaves have turned white/silver - is this normal??

Hi, I'm a lurker enjoying this thread very much, although we're only growing a few veg as I am obsessed with flowers!

Could your mg be morning glory?

alias, your raised beds sound good, what size are they?? I'd only be after a small size I think as the garden isn't huge.

These are small.

They are only 100cm long x 50 cm across x 25cm deep.

You can also get 100cm x 100cm but I find the smaller ones easier to fit in awkward spaces.

I posted a picture of the ones I use on the last page (or page before that).

I'm pretty sure it's something edible....

Sorry, I forgot how much everyone talked round here.

It was further back Than I thought.

Is it still really too early to put my tomatoes out in one of these......



And also cover with fleece if need be?

I'm fed up waiting for weeks to pass.

You don't have to have a cover on it btw.

There probably are better to use tables but it seems a good starting point

That's quite useful, thank you.

I like straightforward things.

The seeds I'm worried about are the marigolds & nasturtiums, but I've also just sown some pepper seeds so I'm wondering about them too Actually, maybe the sweet peas as well

LV, could mg be marigolds??

I'd stop worrying. Unless they are tiny and you have put them about a foot down they should be fine.

Even if they don't germinate this year, if you use the compost elsewhere they will come up eventually

free tomato seeds.
happy today, lots of leeks have come through, sunbaby yellow toms finally come through. the purple carrots seem to have only a 50% germination rate though
and the best laid plans of mice and drunkards...i didn't make it to the lotty yesterday due to a hangover:o old enough to know better really and I would love to know where the big bruise on my big bum has come from:eek:.

righto, off to get me and the squids dressed to get all the jobs done that i should have done yesterday!
