Anybody out there planning on growing anything a bit unusual /different this year, or any giant veg?
-
Always trying something new here. I'm quite talked into Japanese wineberries by Aggy and trying ocra. And probably a few other things of varieties, etc. No room.
-
also trying okra this year,tried last year but think draught at front of tunnel did for them.

What b****y draught :?:
-
Planted two of them (quite small) at very front of middle bed in tunnel close to doors. so presume either cold or probably draught when doors partly open at night ,finished them off. previously lost two loofers in same spot.
-
Only plant weed like in that spot, man. 8)

you need something to catch the eye of passing allotmenteers
at the front of your tunnel, :wink: long gourds or some other gourd

long, short, fat, thin,i just cant think of any other gourds..
our long gourds were very short this year :cry:
-
My round ones were very small. :cry:
But hey, next year! :D
-
round this way butternut squashes and pumpkins are seen as far out man, so mine will be eyeballed from afar - with aid of binoculars.
Coriander - phew, that'll blow their minds - probably call the drug squad knowing my luck.

This is a LOOOONNNNGGGG gourd

That's a shot off the veg growing / cooking show, Veg Out, that was on in the summer isn't it, auntie? It was quite good but as with most veg growing programmes it showed more of the presenters larking about than actually giving any tips on growing stuff :roll:

I've tried googling the programme I'm on about and can't find any reference to it at all.... maybe I just dreamed it up! :roll:

This thread gone a loooooooong, way, sorry, DD.
Geek's gourds are a good idea in your draughty spot, if you want them, may be could try tomatoes there, too.
What new is everybody else growing, then?
