Love homegrown tomatoes, no shop bought ones compare.first tomatoes of the year too
to be honest i asked for the best ones for a balcony when i was getting the seeds, i think they were called apple tomatoes or something like that! i also have some cherry tomatoesLove homegrown tomatoes, no shop bought ones compare.
Which varieties are you growing?
Has anyone had any problems with aphids this year? My courgettes and potatoes have quite a few on some of the flowers. I’ve tried a drop of washing up liquid with water sprayed on them but this didn’t work when my lupins were invaded by them a couple of years ago, so I’m not feeling too optimistic.
Any tips?
omg this is so beautiful. i love how banana leaves lookView attachment 1349707
these are the banana trees in my bf's dad's garden - no signs of bananas yet though!
I thought they were a kind of palm tree at first. Tbh, his Dad has the coolest garden with lots of interesting plants and flowers. Apparently, they do get small bananas but they're v difficult to maintain as it's not the perfect climate for them all year round!omg this is so beautiful. i love how banana leaves look
I’ve heard diluted Neem oil is supposed to help. I think I saw it on Beechgrove. She made a washing up liquid and Neem oil mix diluted with water and sprayed it like an insecticide. She said it doesn’t smell very nice though.Has anyone had any problems with aphids this year? My courgettes and potatoes have quite a few on some of the flowers.

Neem oil stinks. I have some I dilute and use. No idea if it works. Not tried on/aphids. I still seem to/have a lot of bugs.I’ve heard diluted Neem oil is supposed to help.

those are lovely!A local gardener sells things outside their house, today I got a gorgeous bunch of sweet peas and a hydrangea cutting for £1 each . All the money goes to a local charity .
I am doing really well for strawberries. Definitely my best crop ever.
