16 Veg spaghetti

How's your veg spaghetti doing?

How much space are you going to give to veg spaghetti? I have heard they will take loads of space.

I planted 'one seed' in March but so far it has not sprouted. Think I need to sow some more.

hi, malamala, my seedings' leaves are about 2 inches long now. THey are going to get huge and I don't know what I'm going to do with them! When my early spuds are done I'll put 2 of them in that space but as for the rest I just don't know. I've got a pretty small garden.
I got my seeds from a seedsharer and they looked like fresh seeds so I soaked them for a day and then planted them and they were up in a week. I reckon it's not too late to start again if you think yours is dead. If you live anywhere near Glasgow you can have some of mine!

Love the pics :beer: (deleted them here, to save space, only ). Your basil looks especially fine!

Sweetcorn needs to be about 18" apart, so a square of 9 will need a 3 foot / 1 metre square.

Well done, LilMM - what an achievement in such a short time.

I have a tree stump just like yours - it will cost too much to shift and, just like you, I intended to make some sort of a feature of it. Growing alpine plants in was quite successful but it still got in the way and didn't look much of a feature. Do you know what I did?

I hacked the middle out and inserted my whirlygig washing line.

It's great! :cool:

I love this idea, i may just have to do that!

OMG i just got a quote to turf the top end of the garden £100 with fitting. He is a reputable guy, comes highly recommended. i have been pricing turf with out fitting and it cost this much, we are finally gonna have grass, after 5 years. My son has never lived in a house with a lawn to play on. I cant wait.

P.S. Kay Peel, have you any picks of your tree stump feature.

My bother says i should make a table out of it. Put a top on, but i am not sure.

Sorry Whatever you have on the right of this photo looks like mighty fine basil

Lilmrsmullen - love the pics - you've done a great job!

Came back from MIL's with my boot laden with plants - primroses, alpine strawberries, aquilegia, poppy, veronica, etc, etc. Will be planting them today.

Ive had a thought about the carrots and little gems that i planted about a month ago - could i have planted them too deep? If i have, will they sprout at some point, or will i have lost them? Dont want to dig over where they are and plant something else if there is still a chance the other bits might be growing!!!

which vegetables can i start growing now , i know it ,may be a little late for some, I am looking for easy grow as i want the kiddos to be involved, any info would be great

nodwah

lilmrs, not too late for many things: toms, courgettes, cucumbers, alpine strawberries, salad things like lettuce, radish and spring onions - you can sow them every month for a constant supply. Lots of herbs can go in and mange tout peas now and french beans next month even cabbages for winter.

I keep thinking of more! I reckon it's worth giving anything a go for a laugh
