  Garlic Rust - storage
Posted by: PyreneesPlot - 31-05-2020, 02:15 PM - Replies (10)

Afternoon all.
I've just litfed all my garlc because the few spots of rust I saw at the beginning of the week have run riot. I've never had rust before and just wanted to check about storage.
I've read so far that -
You cannot store any infected bulbs.
You can store it exactly as usual, drying as normal.
You can store it but must remove all infected leaves before drying very, very carefully first.
Ummm   Huh 

Any experience of rusty garlic - it is a cracking harvest so it would be really annoying to lose it now!
Thanks [Image: 1f642.png]

  2020 - What I sowed today
Posted by: Veggie - 30-05-2020, 05:19 PM - Replies (69)

First post on a new Thread! I'm honoured!

Sowed some old Mangetout peas direct into troughs and planters for the new "Pea house!" Sounds grand but its just 3 netted sides of a square decked area that used to have a pond in it. The planters will go inside the netting and, hopefully, cover it with mangetout in many shades of peapods.

Golden Sweet = Yellow
Shiraz = Purple
Opal Creek = Yellow
Spring Blush -= Green with pink blush
Sugar Magnolia = Purple

  Cordon toms
Posted by: Jimny14 - 30-05-2020, 01:33 PM - Replies (3)

We have been gifted some Tom plants in 4" pots from some neighbours as they have done too many and didn't want to see them go to waste. 

I have been told they are a cordon variety but I wasnt told a variety name. The main problem is I have never grown toms before so am not sure what I'm doing. I have potted them on in to some deeper pots as they were getting a bit pot bound and they were drying out quickly in this weather. Also we don't have a greenhouse so we will need to grow them outside. 

So my question is what next, how big a pot should I be aiming for in the end and what do I need to do with the plant for best results. Thanks everyone.
