OMG !!!! All your sweet peas look absolutely stunning 😍 ❤
You could try Celtuse/ Asparagus lettuce which is grown for the stem that will be prepared like Asparagus. You also can harvest the leaves for salads. It is not very well known in the UK but grown a lot on the continent.
The sweetpeas really are great this year 😍. Really pleased with them.
Never heard of celtuse 🤔. I'll have a look at that. Thanks for then input 👍
Oh lord your skies look like our up til today now it back to 28c 🥵. WOW Helen your sweet peas 🫛 look amazing 😻. 😂😂 I don’t have a lot of raspberry bushes so most never make it inside. I agree it’s a balance of what is fun to grow and what works. I need to make a list of what I’m not doing again. Poor plants don’t what day it is so everything is bolting. A fab update Helen, have a wonderful weekend, Ali ☔️🌞🇨🇦
Yea ill make a list myself.. then loose said list, then rewrite a new list, miss items off of the list, then loose that list, only to find the old list, to loose that list again 😭😂🤣🤣.
It has been pants for certain plants this year. But the seeds shall hit the ground, and what will be will be. 😆
Experiment with some cover crops
Good idea 💡
Caigua (kai-wa) is great. Climbing vine with small fruits that taste like cucumber capsicum. Can eat cooked or raw. Pollinators love it, no pests, quick growing. From South America.
Thanks for the suggestion. Can that be grown outdoors in the uk? Or better in a polytunnel or greenhouse?
@@oddsocksgrowingNot sure. I grow from seed in Wellington, New Zealand, in a temperate climate. Winter coldest about 0 C, summer hottest 35 C, average across year 7-20 C. Good luck!
Helen Tree cabbage is a perennial but slugs and snails and white butterfly love them as iv found out this year, Its a nightmare trying get all the caterpillars of them.
I actually did sow some this year. I had a few seeds I was given. Slugs ate them all 🤣. But I shall try again
@@oddsocksgrowing Once you got them growing put them in the greenhouse or polytunnel till the autumn and keep them off the ground
I'd sow more carrots
I’m sowing some this week 👍👍
I've got two sowings in. I'll also do another 2. 👍
What about artisjokes?
I have jerusalem artichoke already in the ground. Globe artichoke I'm not a massive fan of.
