Talkback: Early seed sowing
are staring to put out green shoots along with several other plants. I just love the spring and the start of a new gardening year. Absolutely! My hellebores, primroses, early daffs and snowdrops are all blooming away. I've got toms, peppers, sweet peas, mange by donutsmrs

Talkback: Sowing salad crops
but easy is courgette plants, big seed, easy to grow lots of veg. Tomatoes need sowing now indoors ready for later and salad crops easy for a bit later. If you want easy fruit then think of strawberries and rhubarb? Hope this helps but I am sure someone by super mum

Courgette Help
We're growing three courgette plants. So far we've only had one Courgette (plenty of flowers though). The flower at the tip of the courgette has now come off. Is this the right time to harvest a courgette, as it is still quite small? Should I wait by Huntertony

What's it like in your garden?
and now waiting to go out, toms are looking fab, chilli's look good but sweet peppers and  aubergines are painfully slow. I'm a novice with flowers and find them alot harder to grow from seed than veg. Cornflower sown in October last year survived by Wintersong

Talkback: Bulbs under attack
help to deter the hungry pests and allow the bulbs to grow through them. If the rodents are then still eating the leaves and flower stalks then you will need to make wire cylinders instead but the foliage won't hide them. Usually it's the bulbs by jude

Talkback: Pecked by pigeons
,iheard that pepper or chilli does the same. I have lovely big purple sprouting broccoli plants in my garden but only one of them has produced florets. They look healthy and I can't see any evidence of either whip tail or swede midge. What can I do? mothballs keep by lesley crawford

Tomatoes not setting fruit
I have three varieties of tom in the GH this year: Marmande which are doing fine if a bit slowly, Yellow Brandywine and a black type called Carbon are healthy but worrying. The latter two (growing for the first time) have been in heavy flower now by paull2
