Grow Your Own / Re: Theory on Flea Beetles
« Last post by Nobbie on Yesterday at 20:15 »
I don’t see why it would. FB probably have a receptor for a particular chemical that brassica produce and home in on this. This process won’t be affected by putting a strong smell on top. Worth a try though, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You might have to give a little more information e.g. how long have you had the tree, where it is planted (pot or ground) and so on.

Pictures of the trunk, branches and dead leaves will help as well.

Mine went out today on the plot and the greenhouse ones were potted into their builders buckets.  I’ve had tumblers out in containers for a week or so now and they are growing away like crazy, the weather is predicted to stay as it is - warm, showers, some sun and everything would have needed potted on next week. 

I reckoned it was time to go for it  :D

Try it if it is still alive but do sow more. I have yet to sow my out door cucumbers, no point here in west of Scotland untill last week of may even at the earliest. Im amazed people bother with them much earlier here at least, they need warm ground and warm days and nights, .

Grow Your Own / Withered Cherry Tree
« Last post by AnnM on Yesterday at 18:00 »
Only just joined this forum.  Can anyone help me identify what's happened to my cherry tree.  There was a lovely blossom about 4 weeks ago and I was looking forward to another bumper year.  Went to the allotment on Monday and the leaves have all turned brown and shrivelled up.

Maybe a balanced or even a high nitrogen feed if they are young?  I steer clear of tomato feed until  the plants are much bigger and fruiting.  My young plants don't complain about the odd seaweed and urine cocktail!

I try and give all plants I raise a weekly seaweed feed (if I remember) from about 4-6 weeks after sowing until they get planted out. Especially with the recent compost situation I think this is even more important than previously.

I'm half out as of 10 minutes ago.  It's forecast to drop down to 7 here next week so no doubt they will go purple and sulk for 2 weeks while the ones I've held back race ahead.  Rest are out on Wednesday unless the forecast worsens.
