Oh the Joy of Pak Choi........ Have nearly given up on this.....turn your back on it and it bolts...seriously !!

With celeriac, make sure to leave plenty of room between plants as they will grow quite big.....Then wait...and wait...and wait..... (patience is needed with this veg :) Much later in the year, you should remove some of the bottom leaves and if we get a dry summer, make sure to keep very well...

Generally you would wait til March /April to start sowing seed in the ground...You could plant Onion or Shallot sets now and possibly Garlic if ya get a rush on...

Cheers

Given last year's weather, €1000 was very good..!! Not too many woudl have grumbled at that I think.. I do note that you say you used it sparingly, so does that mean ye were cold in the house, say for example, during the very cold snap...?

More details out of interest, how do u perform the actaul test?

This very mild weather has everything confused..!! My overwinter onions are gowing too quickly at this stage, so hope the first bad frost doesn't do for them... I still haven't harvested my celeriac..will pull some next weekend to see what's there, although after doing some reading I dont...

Cost of living in Ireland would be too expensive for aliens to live here!! ..they would be back in the spaceship and off in a shot...!! :)

hi horusd, Will certainly let you know how I get on with the celeriac when I harvest it.... Just a question back to you on your reply to glynners regrading onions/spring onions... I had sown some from seed into topsoil that had been dug and that had farmyard manure added with soil then...

Hi As Ronan says, they are very nice when eaten as salad leaves mixed with spinach, lettuce, rocket etc.. Celeriac?..well, I just planted it and kept it weeded around it..haven't done anything else with it at all! Plant leaves have grown to a nice size at this stage.....Although I havent...

Progress so far Happy so far with my first season's veggie gardening..!! Was late starting as it was in our new house and so decided to take my time and experiment and learn.. Plot is at back of my garage on a steep enough slope, so I put in 4 boxed areas using waste wood from the house...

Thanks!! Will have a look and report back...

My rocket plants have tiny little holes in some of them..looks like something is having a snack..any ideas? (dont think it is slugs..)

Carrots have appeared...!! Rocket is flying along... Spinach seed sowed 1 month ago not looking good though..

Thanks again... Carrots are sown about 2 and half weeks now and covered with the fleece for about 1 and half weeks... If I buy seeds and sow them myself indoors, would they need light staraightaway..reason I ask is that I have a room which has all my plumbing fitting etc in there and it can be...

Horusd, Thanks for the reply… In terms of the carrots, am I ok leaving the fleece over them so, even though no sign of growth yet? Yes, the “bay” I refer to is another patch in the garden…(my veg garden part is on a slope so I have a path down the centre and 3 separate bays at different...
