I’ve just piled in a load of peas and marigolds. I’ll put some pictures on later. Anyone else ? |  |

Need some advice. Not a gardener by any stretch. We’ve just had a raised patio done, in front of that either side of the steps up we’ve got 2 concrete planters/ beds. What can we put in them to add a bit of colour and is not high maintenance? |

Just about killed off the knotweed  which used to fill the garden. Just bought a bay tree which will eventually block any neighbours view into my garden…. |  | | |

Got some moneymaker, Shirley, incas, and some tumbling toms for baskets.
All easy to grow and produce good crops.
Incas are lovely and sweet. | |

First time I've planted Tomatoes, so I'm a complete novice at it, but I tried growing them from seeds in the potting shed.
Surprised me how well they've done, there's far more than I need, so I've given loads away.
Cherry, Beef and Plum. | |

Feed them regularly and get plenty of sun on them. Once they ripen you will be eating them every day. | |

Moved them into the large pots last week, I read somewhere, not to feed them until you see the first truss start to form, when do you start feeding ? | |

I give them a month after planting. That's what my old man did. Whatever he touched in the garden turned to gold. done forget to pinch them. | |

I did pinch the 2 bottom leaves at the base before replanting, a month? but, If it's good enough for your old man, it's good enough for me.
Cheers. | |

3 months....behave mun Keith, 3 years sounds more like it. I'm going in the bedroom, locking the door and not coming out for 3 years.
The garden will fix itself and maybe I'll lose some weight too! It's a win, win  | | | |

There is the main stem, and the side stems, but often the plant will try and grow a 3rd stem from the armpit of the other two. That's what you need to pinch out. Check 'em about twice a week.
Most climbing tomatoes will grow way more leaves than they need, this can take valuable minerals (esp calcium), away from the fruit and leave you with blossom end rot (black bottoms on the fruit). If this happens remove a third to a half of the leaves (the ones without fruit / flowers on), and you should be ok. | | | |

I wouldn't mind trying growing some tomatoes, just looking at Amazon on what they offer for putting them inside, and for 50 quid plus, it looks like a frame that will be gone by the morning after a night of high winds. |  |

I was thinking about trying tomatoes. Can they be grown in a pot and outside no shed or greenhouse? I’ve got a path down the side of the house where they would get sun in the morning but would also be protected from the elements. As I said previously I’m no gardener. [Post edited 21 May 2022 12:51]

What a nice thread
Our rear garden is being transformed by our ever growing feisty Pupp.
Grass changing colour,plants eaten ,clay soil dug over impressively and the wild birds seem to have gone to Rhyl for their holidays. | |

Yeah you can grow patio tomatoes (aka bush or determinate) like tumbling toms, or lemon sherberts easily in a bucket or large pot outside, as long as they get 6 hours of sun.
Or just plant them directly into a growbag, 3 or 4 per bag. You might want to find some way of lifting the growbag a foot or so off the ground, so the tomatoes aren't lying on the ground.
B and Q have loads of plants at the moment. £1.25 each | | | |

I have bought some flowers to plant.
Haven't got a clue where to start.
Never done it on my own.
My wife used to supervise.
I was the labourer.
If it is dry tomorrow I will give it a go .
Hopefully I won't kill them  |  |
