If you're brave enough,  show us a picture of where and how you store your seeds.  I'll show you mine if you show me yours (after I've tidied it up a bit!)  At the moment most seeds are scattered over the spare bed.

  Big mistake...

I went to ask the internet if there were sweetcorn varieties that could be sown in June and were available for me to purchase...now I have a basket full of seeds on Premier...I keep deleting seeds that I definitely won't use til next year. But new ones keep jumping in the basket.

What was I looking for, again?

  Perennial Veg?
Posted by: Broadway - 05-06-2020, 10:40 AM - Replies (37)

Hello Folks

Continuing with my planning for next year I wondered what perennial veg you folks grow and the successes / failures you’ve experienced?
 
I sowed Asparagus from seed this year so these will be going into the plot either the end of this year or next.
 
I’ve also ordered some Taunton Deane Kale after seeing a post from Sarriss.

*** Mods, I hope this is in the correct section? ***

  Partridge......not in a pear tree

Another, or maybe the same, partridge on nextdoor's roof ridge.  Got a pic this time.  Not a good one as the zoom on my tablet isn't great.

  Something attacked my onion seedlings
Posted by: Can the Man - 04-06-2020, 08:00 PM - Replies (14)

I planted some red onion seedlings in among some white onion seedlings which had established themselves last Monday only to find this evening they have been attacked by something either bird or animal.
They even managed to dislodge the name tag.

I will post photos in a few minutes when I resize

This is how they looked on Monday evening 
   

Here you can see where they have been pulled up and chopped 
   

Here you can see them chopped and on the top left holes where they were pulled out
   

Better close up of the top left
   
Better close up of the chopped plants
   





Anybody ever experienced this before or any ideas ?

Thanks

  Bats

Although it wasn't that warm last night I was happy to see some of our local bats out and about. Don't know what type of bats they are but we often get quite a lot hunting over our garden. 
I'd ideally like to find out what they are and see if there is anything we can do to help with boxes etc. 

I'll try and post a video I took last night but might take me a while to sort it out.
