Grow Your Own / Re: Strawberries not thriving
« Last post by Grubbypaws on Today at 11:01 »
Vine weevils love strawberries, and their grubs do significant damage to the roots.

Nematodes are said to be effective and would not attack other creatures.

When is the best time to apply the nematodes?

Grow Your Own / Re: What I did on the plot today 2024
« Last post by snowdrops on Today at 10:39 »
Early visit to Plot 13 to beat the heat.... Made the first comfrey and nettle tea batches of the year, gave the asparagus and potatoes a seaweed feed and then weeded the whole plot before the little beggars get too big  :lol: After a couple of hot dry days the soil in the beds is looking dreadful, grey, dry and cracked plus full of stones. 2024 looks like the year I am mostly going to be putting in some serious work improving the soil in each bed!

Get some well rotted manure/mulch and just apply to the top of your beds, leave the worms to take it in, conserves moisture too

Chatting on the Plot / Re: How much TV do you watch
« Last post by snowdrops on Today at 10:33 »
I have the TV on most evenings, although to be fair I also tend to have the laptop on. The degree of attention that each gets, depends on how interesting the TV is!

Much the same for me, I do have the tv on in the kitchen whilst dinner is being cooked if I’m the one cooking & keep an eye on pointless,then have the news on whilst we eat, but I can’t always hear it as himself has an opinion on everything  :wacko even though he doesn’t want it on! Then once I’m settled for the evening tv is on usually but I’ve got my iPad open(stops me nodding off  :D) or I’m getting back into reading novels & so I read. If himself is watching something I really don’t like I take my book to bed. Summer usually sees me not sitting down til 9ish or in the conservatory etc so no tv at all then & I don’t miss it. Different I think if you live alone & don’t want to be surrounded by silence

Hello all!
First post here, I found these custom made greenhouse guttering attachments and they are brilliant!
I found them on Etsy and the seller was very good at making sure they fit my greenhouse perfectly rather than just a off the shelf adapter. I'd bought 3 different off the shelf ones and none of them fit that well, but these are perfect! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
The seller sends you a little tester to help get the fit just right and made sure it fitted my greenhouse before the final adapters are made, no more hope required that these will work  :D
Here is the link if you're interested

Ham hock and mushroom tagliatelle.

No baby pots?
Yes, I had baby pots as I will do tonight with my cottage pie and broccoli. You cheeky monkey!  :lol:
