With all the rain we've been having it hasn't hardened up as much as I'd have liked, but I guess so long I leave them to dry out above ground then they should still store alright.

I've had to convince myself that I'm growing the peas for seeds, there's just too many.

I even had a pea sandwich for lunch! πŸ˜‚

Oh, like 3 years now.
There's lots of insects\bees etc in the area, they just never seem to use it πŸ˜…

It does seem to go from "no raspberries" to "more raspberries than you have used for" doesn't it πŸ˜‚

We're having the opposite problem here in UK.
Constantly raining.

Freshly pulled garlic bulbs, still covered in soil

I've been away for a while, but finally found time to get out in the garden and pull some garlic πŸ§„πŸŒ±

I've heard that too, but I've never actually had a problem with transplanting pea's. Possibly one of those gardening things that's more folklore than fact

That's the only cure.

Everyone else's suggestions are on par with 'quitting' smoking by starting vaping.

That first one is a crazy way to hold a phone.

Even more crazy by the picture right next to it demonstrating that you do in fact hold a phone like the rest of us πŸ˜…

It speaks volumes on their target audience that they're giving tripe like that any validity in the first place.

If you're just looking to cover the fence area, sneak some ivy from your neighbour πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ

I've got it along my back wall and it's relatively easy to stop it spreading to areas you don't want it to go.

In my experience it's the same.

I've grown the same variety of cherry toms, allowing one to have 3 leaders (nipping off the rest). Then the other pulling all side shoots.

The only noticeable difference was that the one with multiple leaders didn't grow as tall. The amount of tomato's was the same

A garden in midsummer showing 2 rows of strawberry plants in planters

The same area but with the planters removed and the ground dug over to make 2 large beds

These strawberries gave structure to the garden but always felt like wasted space so this year all but the very end one's are going.

What was several 50cm planters is now 3 by 3 metres of new growing space πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎπŸŒ±πŸ’šπŸŸ’

Oh sorry, I meant... You get rid of the plant that came with it and put your own plant in.

As in... Plant pots with plants in have a short 'shelf life' so you can often get them much cheaper with a half-dead plant in than you could buying something similar that's just an empty pot

In the past I've found it easier and 'cheaper' to buy a pre-potted plant that's in a nice pot than it is find nice pits just being sold as is

I like the idea that it was a 3 flavour multi pack and it specifically chose the orange one πŸ˜‚
