So what colour flowers did you get?

If your worried about bringing bugs in you can tske them out the pots, knock as much dirt of the roots as you can then use a hose to wash them clean, you can also cut alot of the roots off leaving a small rootball, cut the plant down to a few internodes high then repot it. Use something like dr...

For the insecticidal soap I mean a natural soap. I think in America they use dr bronners Castle soap. In sweden we use something called grönsåpa. Its not advisable to use a regular dishwashing liquid such as fairy liquid.

Keep them somewhere as light and warm as possible. I keep my over winters next to the windows, the only light they get other than the natural sunlight is from the ceiling room lights if they are on, all rooms have under floor heating. I'm in sweden and the winter is long, dark and cold. I have...

Are the plants you want to over winter in pots or in the ground?  

It looks more like sunscald

Interesting one! I had to Google nopales.. how does it taste? Did you add anything to spice it up?

Thanks for the replies, the weather has been terrible for growing chilis and most other things in my garden, but on the other hand its been perfect for the fruit and mushrooms that grow in the wild here. I have only lived here for 5 years and this is by far the best I have seen. I timed myself...

Oh and I got a few chanterelles but they won't be going in the jam. Maybe I can pickle a few with some chillis 

I popped into the forest on the way home today and came back with a nice haul.  Wild cherries, big fat juicy sweet cherries, wild raspberries, redcurrents, blackcurrents and a shit load of wild blueberries. I will pick some alpine strawberries tomorrow then make a new jam, spicy forest fruits. I...

We are having the same weather, its the coldest July in 50 years here. Day temp is 16C - 18C night temps 8C - 11C. On top of the unseasonably cold temperatures we have had rain and cloud most days. This time last year my greenhouse was a chilli jungle, now it looks like everything is going...

Fungal, I've never had it on a chilli plant but I've had tomato plants destroyed by it. Its common for it to start at the bottom of the plant and work its way up, if you carefully remove infected leaves as soon as you see it you can possibly halt its spread or atleast slow it down. Put infected...

It possibly looks like Septoria Leaf Spot but I would wait for others to chime in and see what they think

  Alpine strawberries grow everywhere here in the wild, I have made jam a few times with them however the unique taste is mostly lost and the jam tastes more like strawberry jam. The best way to really appreciate them in jam is to have them in another jam, mix them in hole and be careful not to...

My white strawberry plants are producing tons of fruit this year so I thought I would try making a spicy jam. The strawberries are very sweet and have a taste something between a strawberry and a pineapple. The skin is white although some berries have a pink blush, the insides are completely...

I have 2 of the tps plants in a large raised bed and 4 in the ground, the 2 in the raised bed are doing alot better  it they were also 2 the healthiest out of the 6 plants I still had inside.   The photo I attach is in the raised bed, it was taken 10 days ago, the plants are at least double the...

My habaneros grew normal sized fruit last summer, I trimmed them down and took them indoors to over winter them, one of them set fruit in the autumn/winter and produced a few very small pods as yours has, it also happened with one of my peach ghosts.we are ow coming into summer and the habanero...

I'm starting to think that my vezena piperkas are cursed.  3 of them have a spidermite infestation that I didn't notice because the edema they suffer from covers every inch of every leaf underside making it extremely difficult to see them, I only noticed once they started making webs on the...

Did you try and root the tops?  A few days ago I potted up some extremely stretched tomberry plants, 2 of them snapped at the base as I was attempting to take them out there small pots. They didn't have any side branches to take cuttings from and the snap point was at soil level, so I cut the...

How did it go? What option did you take?
