One gardening textbook.
Sat, 17 Oct 2009 05:20:59 -0700 (PDT)
Hi,
Suggestions, please, for a textbook to comprehensively cover vegetable

I've had some good successes and a few failures and learnt a
tremendous amount but I'd like a single source of reference that has
good depth on everything I might ...

Tomatoes still flowering
16 Oct 2009 22:50:43 GMT
I still have 2 greenhouses full of ripening tomatoes, but the
plants all seem to be busy flowering again. Not just one or
two varieties, but all 10 or so varieties are at it!
Is it just the odd late summer we've been having confusing the
poor things? And is it worth letting them flower, or should I
be snipping ...

Coffee question
Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:34:07 +0100
Well not a question about growing coffee lol but about disposing of ground
coffee dregs. Does anyone know if it's OK to pour coffee dregs onto the
ground near plants, or into a pot containing a rose bush or other shrub?
Would it do them any harm?
