Hi,
1) Ive got a spare rhubarb plant in a pot with no space in the back garden for it. The front garden has been layered with newspaper, then black weed fleece, then mulch. If i put a hole in the paper, like i do for my flowers, will the rhubarb be okay or will the paper stop new shoots?
2) My cabbage and cauliflowers are outgrowing the outdoor shelf theyve been on for ages. Ive dug up my broadbeans so theres a gap. Would it be okay to move quite well established plants out of a container, into the garden?
3) Theres something growing at the bottom of my garden. It came out the compost and its huge. Just the flowers are bigger than both my hands together. Its obviously from the courgette family but we've never had courgette to compost. Doesnt look like melon, too spiky stems, definately not cucumber, could be marrow but again never had one to have composted. This things growing over my patio, the leaves are nearly the size of my widescreen TV and i still dont know what it is! Ive got pics just not had chance to upload them yet. There fruit coming on it behind the female flower so heres hoping its something we like!
4) I have a knee height plastic g/house with bush tomoates in. Most are now pressed against the top trying to get out. Should i remove them to outside or leave them be?
5) Ditto in my mini greenhouse, the peppers are hitting the ceiling, fruiting well but well pressed against the plastic, causing some damp i should think. Should i remove them to outside?
6) My toms in the G/h have overgrown the place, i broke the top off some, left them for a few days and theyd sprouted massively elsewhere. I need tomatoes not huge plants! In all theres about 6 tomatoes total on 6 plants. Do i just keep pruning? Seems harsh to the plant.
7) Asparagus - got one in a pot, does one crown produce several spears, or have i got many clustered together? I thought asparagus was about 100mm high and thick, mine are about 300mm high and about 2mm thick
Thanks
Lee
