Why won't my Oullins Gage fruit?

and bone and mulched around the base with home made compost each autumn to improve the soil. It looks vera healthy so I don't know why it won't fruit. Is it still too young or have I picked a temperamental variety? Any advice is welcome. Thank you! by Squeaky73

for the summer and cold resistant ones to pick after the fall I too picked my purple sprouting, however, I didn't actually serve myself any, as there seemed to be a lot of aphids coming off, no matter how many times I rinsed it in salty water! I've been picking by Christine

Help

not have thought that being picked up by a human was more detrimental than being picked up by a cat. Maud, if you wet your hands before picking frogs up it is supposed to be better than using warm dry hands. I'm not a frog so can't speak from experience! by Maud is in the garden

Swiss chard

then it will produce long tough stalks and go to seed so you dig it up. Keep picking and eating while it's edible - when it goes to seed dig it up and sow some more - wonderful stuff. I agree Dove - still picking mine ! Sorry forgott to say I grow Bright Lights by CottageGardenFairy

Possible to sow more peas and beans

Lesley Don't know about broad beans never grown them. Regarding peas I pick mine when the pods have swelled out and feel firm, but I don't leave them on the plant long because the smaller peas taste better in my opinion. I don't think it's too late to sow by lesinnl
