growing medium is getting deeper. Right from the start I could grow root veg like beetroot, but I always grow potatoes in potato bags for the depth. My raised beds are relatively shallow owing to the poor soil and the fact that we have had to put top soil

and beetroots in the same bed but they were not touched. They are all growing under cover also and i cant seem to find out why. Slugs? Could be but i didnt see any traces of slug trail which you can normally see. Unfortunately, slugs and snails don't always

Recently checked the dates in the past when I sowed carrots, Beetroot, spring onions, etc etc. A few years I did that in mid Feb but mostly in first week in March. I used cloches and fleece and had runner beans growing under home made poly tunnels

New gardner I live in glasgow.  Built a large raised bed for this year filled with ordinary compost (25 bags) Really keen to grow a variety of veg especially carrots.  Have sown 3-4 rows intemittently since middle april with no success yet parsnips

new canes about 15cm apartUse soapy sprays at the first signs of greenfly and blackflyThin out congested fruits on apples and plums - the remaining fruits will grow far larger if competition is reducedSow seeds now: lettuce, rocket, beetroot, dwarf

I would love to grow a few vegetables and fruit but the ground is hard, stony and full of grass, weeds and moss. Apparently it probably has never seen a spade in it's live and neighbour reckons I'll end up with a sore back if I try and dig it over
