This spring for the first time ever I have started growing some vegies in pots and have a small raised bed with beans, peas and tomatoes. I have just acquired an allotment and as a complete novice I don`t actually know where to start or what to start growing. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you.

I have just taken all my saved alium seeds out of the airing cupboard. Going to sew them in the next couple of weeks.

HI there, I sent a comment the other month saying how I had grown 2 dozen alliums from seeds I found in the gardens of Queen Victoria,s Osbourn House while on honymoon there. IM sure Prince Charles would be "most amused" . I think his a grand chap. MY point is that I have not seen my comment posted or have I broken your code of conduct?. Kind Regards "Old Greenfingers"

I too collected Allium Seeds last October and they are in a brown envelope in my posh seed box (very useful Birthday present) when do I sow them and what type of compost please

I have just moved house, nice garden - but too much gravel!!! Will plants and bulbs thrive in gravel, or will I have too remove it all?.

I broadcast thousands of saved onion seeds last spring and now have a thriving patch (March 22nd 2012), but each plant has six or seven onions tightly attached to each other. Are they actually the same plant? Should I separate them and plant each individually ie treat them as sets, even though they are green-topped? We live in Dorset, near the sea, and winters are very mild, so the onions never lost their green leaves.

I'd really appreciate advice, Yours Robin Dulake

I'm very fortunate. My alium plants self-set round the mother plant. Maybe you could just try sprinkling some on a small piece of ground and sew some in a pot. I'm not sure about covering the seeds because mine self set but a light sprinkle of compost over some of the pot may give you the best of both worlds.

I planted some alium seeds last year and I think they have germinated but not too sure. Do they look like tall grasses when they first appear. I have some that are stronger than grass but just one single tall thin leaf.

Your say
