I think we all have much more in common than we realise with all this gardening talk. We have moved our kiwi to the front garden this year as it was bought the same time as a friends and their's is doing so much better.

I need to get some sleep now. Eyes are aching.

Goodnight everyone. A truly amazing bunch of people brought together by chance. :A:A:A

Night TS

I'd love to join in with the gardening chat considering we have just moved from owning a window box to having an actual garden.....but it's all paved!

Pots, they are the way forward! And bags are great for potatoes!

I would have thought the disease resistance would have to be through the full plant, as things like blight attack the leaves, but then again, I am no plantologist.

A lot of pathogens are soil/compost borne and the vigorous rootstock is resistant. It's more important when you want to grow plants directly into greenhouse soil I think where diseases accumulate. I think a lot of organic tomato production uses grafts to avoid disease when spraying is of course not an option.

Will say one word "pots".

If you can look at a book called "The Edible Container Garden" by Michael Guerra.

just want to share something before I go to bed. I went out and honoured the soldier from our town that died earlier :A

A lady who's not a friend of mine, but an acquaintance. Criticised me for doing so.....and quite boldly said I should not expose my children to such sadness and ' emotional bad feeling'. I politely disagreed and said I would wish my kids to have experience, understanding and a real feeling of what these servicemen do for our country....( they already do thanks to their dad, but she didnt know that ) so we went and did our thing, my kids left messages, which I didn't look at. I hope that the parents will take some comfort from them :A

But Karma works.....on the way home, I walked through town with my 3 kids in tow.....and the lady who Criticised me was stood outside a pub in town, having a smoke, with a pint in her hand and none of her kids in sight

Im guessing we had a better night than her
