Re: Green fingers?
Lily does indeed have a residence in Stroud, rather obvious to find due to the number of locals that dont want her there!
And yes, i would, I really REALLY would...

Herbs, any of you grow them? We've got a few and I tend to make a lot of my own pizzas. The taste of proper fresh oregano and basil on them rather than the dried shite, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Re: Green fingers?
I'll give you some chilli seeds next year, Mark, I've got loads! They're doing well in my conservatory, as are the tomatoes and miniature cucumbers.
I'm hoping to join a local community garden - going along for the first time on Thursday. Volunteers get half price veg, plus I wanted to learn more about growing and get out and about a bit more often.
I did have an allotment at the old place, but moved out before planting season... The ex said she was going to carry it on, but she never went up there when I was there...

Well I have had a good crop of spuds this year but everything else is late lots of tommytoes
but not yet ripe since the sun went in up here. All the chillies are in and strangely the yellow tomats. Lettuce has been ok but the sweetcorn rather disappointing.
I made a rack for under the kitchen window, which carries 6, 8" pots of a range of herbs and they have been fine.
Bit of a mixed year all round. I am lucky enough to live on an end and have front, side and back gardens. I suppose that would read "unlucky enough" in your case Mickey

Re: Green fingers?
My chilli's are just starting to turn red, but the plant has some kind of nutrient disorder as every branch point has gone purple and the plant looks wilted all of the time.
Tomatoes have been okay - but nothing to write home about, and I've had an aubergine and loads of courgettes Tons of herbs too; thyme is really good for iron (I think), or was it calcium? Anyway, I put it in everything.
Potatoes are the first thing I plant on a new veg plot - they may get a bit of worm, but they sure do clear the weeds out.
I fancy having a go at permaculture as digging usually turns me into a cripple. Either that or a tractor - I would like that.

Re: Green fingers?
You had me looking there! Do you mean hydroponics? Because that'd be a recipe for disaster as I can be a bit slap-happy with measurements. And the electric has been known to run out. I like the idea of soil being involved in the process too.
The veges we used to grow in France were all fertilized with human crap, and they weren't half bad. I'm not so sure about disease risk, but the poop stuff was well composted first.

Now that's strange that is. Never heard of a tractor crippling anyone.....unless you got it to drive over you sort of thingdigging usually turns me into a cripple. Either that or a tractor
I grew green chillies this year. Once the pepper has matured, where the stalk meets the feeding branch always tends to go black. You harvest at that point.... allegedly.

It's the character in the film mate, but I've made the assumption that that particular character was Kevin Allen...................I've just checked and it wasn't. Kevin was a TV reporter - but I can't remember that part.Fish_Botherer wrote:Taking things up a little late (as always)... do you mean onscreen or in real life, Bandit?Bx Bandit wrote:Kevin?

Kieth Allen was in Twin Town too I remember, as the sheep farmer or got a hot dog from the Twins, with a sprinkle of 'herb' and some magic mushrooms on top!
