The mint plant did not need much care as I can see the leaves look dry..maybe they burnt with the heat of compost. try with 50% coco peat and 50% garden soil. This will help.

The selection of seed potatoes requires 100-250 grams of potato pieces, and the seeding density is about 3 cm between the potato pieces. After the seed potatoes are arranged, they should be covered with soil, and the thickness should be 2-3 cm, not more than 5 cm, so as not to affect the emergence of seedlings.

Think I would try to start again...it might have microscopic greenfly on it. Cut it right down removing leaves carefully. Do this outside if possible. Don't bring cut leaves back near it. Mint is incredibly tough so should reshoot. Mint plants are often sold inexpensively in supermarkets that sell good quality veg. If you buy choose cleanest freshest looking with new lower shoots...not necessarily the largest plant.

Hi!
I was given a mint plant a day or two ago, and it's looking- well. Rather peaky. I've posted pictures at the end of this message.
The leaves are curled, very dry, and often full of holes. The plant as a whole seems to have gone spindly, as though it hasn't been getting enough sunlight. It lived outside until it was given to me, and now lives in the kitchen (we have no garden space), a room kept relatively cold and without much direct sunlight. The soil is composted and kept damp.
If anyone has any advice on how to care for this plant, to make it healthy and safe to eat, I would really appreciate it!

My first time growing sweet potatoes : do you treat them like normal potatoes and earth them up or just plant them in a deep containe

Hello. Definitely it is not too late! I think that every time is good to add it. Of course, earlier the better but still your plant will benefit from these proteins and vitamins. Don't mind and add it :)

I agree with the speaker above. I think that you should wait a few years. Your tree needs to mature first and then you can allow it to your fruits. Hope it is still growing that well!

I think this IS a gooseberry, not 100%, but from the photo I think it is!

Hi there, we moved into our property at the end of last year, and in the pretty empty (aside from some rhubarb) veg patch, there are two gnarly, spiky bushes. I wonder if they're gooseberries, but am pretty new to gardening! Any pointers on what they are would be really appreciated! Thank you

Hello..Maybe you overwatered your tomatoes? Or maybe the temperature was not good for them? Did you read what these tomatoes require?

I would say with any fruit bearing tree it's always best to give it a few good years of growth before allowing all its fruit to mature

The problem you usually find is that most fruits we eat are imported and therefore treated to remove pests, rendering the seeds unviable..maybe try and use a seed from a native tree and soak in a solution of hydrogen peroxide overnight?

Lab lab beans

Can anyone suggest why my lab lab beans have not flowered? I planted some outside and some in pots in the greenhouse. The plants in both places are flourishing. The weather has been average summer weather, sunshine, rain and temperatures. Tomatoes and cucumbers near them inside and out have done well.

What variety have you been growing? Are they cherry-sized or beefsteak-sized? and how early in the year did you start them off?

why have my tomatoes not ripened?

With the exception of half a dozen, none of my tomatoes have ripened even though they have been in my greenhouse and watered every day, and fed with pellet in soil plus occasional liquid feed. Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

Please can anyone tell me what is wrong with my runner beans. I usually grow them in the garden and have no problems but this year I have put them in a large pation tub. They started off fine growing and flowering but now they look poorly, they are not cropping properly, there are just little stumps where the beans should be as in the photo. The leaves are sparse and discoloured and then falling off. I cannot see any creatures on them. All help gratefully recieved.

Hi Carol, yes thanks I'll give it a try. I did find some info under the 'plants' tab on the site (I'm new to it so haven't found my way round yet.) It did say new plants are started from budding or grafting from an existing plant so I'm going to buy one whenever they become available. Have you actually grown cherries from stones btw? I might give that a go as well. Regards, Rita

The whole stone is the seed. I throw lots of plums and plum stones into my shrubbery when we are harvesting and have never known them to germinate (unlike wild cherries!) but why not give it a try?

Can plums be grown be either planting the stone or are there seeds inside the stone which can be retrieved? Thanks for any reply.

I bought an espalier apple tree a few years back and have been growing it against the house wall. I have more height available to me than it's currently taking up and wondered how easy is it to train the tree in such a way that I can add additional branches above where they are at present. (ie can I train the top that is currently bent over to form the top horizontal branch to go vertical and then get horizontals off that?) Many thanks
