Does anyone know if a hosepipe ban applies to veg patches if you grow your own produce to feed your family?
I believe so. We've been using watering cans for a few weeks now.Does anyone know if a hosepipe ban applies to veg patches if you grow your own produce to feed your family?
If you’re growing your own food, Charles Dowding is fabulous. He is all about the no-dig method. He’s on YouTube and Insta and is responsive to messages. Has a new book coming out that details the growing year so maybe something to keep an eye on.Does anyone have any good resources for learning about gardening? Any good websites or books? I’m looking for something which can walk me through month by month or similar, proper gardening for idiots really as I’m a total novice. Kill most houseplants.
I love his YouTube videos. He makes everything seem easy. I've fallen asleep to them too!If you’re growing your own food, Charles Dowding is fabulous. He is all about the no-dig method.

He is by no means flashy or exciting and I’ve fallen asleep watching his videos late at night but he shares good info and is likeable.
Oh you are so lucky!!!I've only got myself an allotment
We are lucky as underneath all the weeds are perfectly good raised beds and a polytunnel, albeit a bit broken. Can't wait for the keys.Oh you are so lucky!!!
Well done you! My runner beans this year have been abysmal. All the flowers fell off in heavy rain, then it was ridiculously hot (and I went on holiday so wasn't watering them ). They are flowering again at the moment so fingers crossed I do actually get more than the 1 bean I have picked so far.Runner beans

Oh I need to remember to do this. I always forgotJust ordered some naice bulbs off Farmer Gracy ready for planting in the Autumn - Some tulips, narcissi, iris reticulata and some anenomes. Will top up the tulips from Lidl as I'm assuming they will start selling in the couple of week x
I don't really do indoor plants but I do have a spider plant. Easy to look after it just sits there and does its own thing. I water it when I remember and may have to remove a brown tip the odd time but that's about it. Very easy to propogate too.hi everyone! I'm after some suggestions please, what are relatively low maintenance-easy to keep indoor plants? thank you 🪴
