Some things didn’t turn out so bad

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 5 Nov

It hasn’t been a great year for the garden. It started off OK but the summer was very dry. It wasn’t as hot as some of the recent summers have been, thankfully, but the lack of rain was a real issue. Although I have ten water...

What happens if you don’t eat your artichokes

Fleur @Fleura (34927) • United Kingdom 18 Jul

Little One is partial to artichokes, and since she isn’t a great fan of vegetables in general I thought I would try growing some for her. This has been a partial success (I have one plant, which is surviving and produces a few,...

Among different vegetables potatoes are the most useful of the lot

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23235) 16 Dec 24

Potatoes are the most useful vegetables. Bengal is the highest producer of potatoes in India. Diabetic patients avoid eating them. India has designated them as essential commodities. In winter they grow very well.

This year has been a bit of a disaster as far as vegetable-growing is concerned. Most of my beans and peas yielded just a handful of pods, if that, and the broad beans were devoured by slugs. The runner beans did better, but then...
