Spathyphyllum

Well, thankyou all so much for your help. Strangely it is my decoration in my shower room. However, I am inclined to think I perhaps underwater. Thankyou for the feed info Dove. I wonder how you realised I forgot to include that question,

Spathyphyllum

My plant survives, indeed  I expect it to flourish after repotting it. However, it suffers unsightly brown tips to the leaves. I trim with sharp scissors and only water half a cup per month. Any ideas please on cause, prevention and cure. Thanks in anticipation.

Failed Leeks

I agree Dove. However, I'm low experience and hes an old hand. I told him much the same as you.  He asked me to get confirmation here. Thanx for the backup. 

Failed Leeks

Could anyone suggest why my friends leeks lived but failed to develop. Lives in the same town as I do but mine were tremendous. He grew in a raised bed in approx 9" of spent compost but no fertiliser. I grew in the soil with dug in spent greenhouse compost and lightly dressed with farmyard manure, We both puddled young plants in quite deeply in late June. Many thanks in anticipation.

Leeks

Thanks Sue. Wondering how your neighbour finds them in the snow !!  Thanks Onion. Just knew I could rely on a fellow countryman to advise me on leeks.

The one success I've had in this dismal summer is my leeks. They have been tremendous. Trouble is I don't want to use any for a few weeks and its the beginning of December. Will they be OK in the ground? Do they continue to grow? Will they rot? Any advice please.

How can I get rid of wire worm?

My information is that there is no chemical solution. Concur with sotongeoff, keep turning the ground over and let the blackbirds/thrushes at the blighters

Having done some internet research, Italophile is spot on. This is Late Blight, the same that caused the Irish potato famine in the 19c. It thrives in the damp conditions that we have experienced this year. As suggested, prevention is better than cure (If indeed there is a cure) Italophile's measures have been endorsed by a number of sites. Hope no-one has suffered as badly as I have in losing the whole crop.

Exactly like that + mouldy fruit. Sorry, new camera and haven't worked out how to load pics onto laptop
