Terminology

[elsie-scot]

I think the worst that happens here is some of us get sent to the' norty step' where we eat chocs, drink wine and with a jolly pat on the back welcome each other to the 'step'
An example would be mentioning CHRISTMAS out of season so guess I am on my there now then.....but I was only using it as an example m'lord!

It is a lovely forum .....enjoy!

Or, so it seems to write the word PARSNIPS in full

Regular, or 'successional' sowing is really handy to do in cell-trays (the seed trays that are divided into small sections) if you're growing in containers. It's especially a good idea for things like lettuces - you don't want all of them to be ready at once, so you sow a few every 2 - 4 weeks, and once you've eaten the first lot, you can plant the new plants into the space left behind. Hope that makes sense?

.... I've been bullied on an other forum before.

yuk!! shame on them!

I'm in Oxfordshire also, but not for too much longer.

Have you found furtle in the glossary yet

[Bigmallly]

If memory serves me right bolting is what I did when my first girlfriend said she wanted to settle down and that I should meet her parents

So you went to seed as well then Enrich........

[Pidge]

Shame on them

Indeed, but they showed their true colours to alot of people so I'm not bothered anymore, I just do not tolerate bullying of any kind.

Their loss, our gain.

Aww, thanks.

That's terrible Pidge...You'll not get none of that on here...the modes won't allow it, mind you neither will we.
And with regard to questions...well you can ask friends anything

How nice. In that case I'd like to know the name of the first man you snogged and your favourite biscuit.

Don't sow them on top, either leave a space in the container, or grow in a separate area/container. Can either grow on in the other container, or transfer across to your other container once you remove a mature plant.

Yep vine is very friendly, people may have quite strong views at times, but not in a threatening way

Thanks, I honestly could not get my head round that. Will make sure I do that with my spring onions then.

Haha, love it! You cad.

Hi Pidge and welcome to the vine, where in Oxon are you?
I am out Banbury way.
This is a great forum with lovely kind people who have helped me in so many ways.

Ooo, get me on the norty step! I'm in a village between near Burford.

Snips! Sorry, but it's always snips.

The only trouble with that for me is lack of sill space for the seed trays. It makes perfect sense though so thank you very much!

Furtle? Sounds like a Flump.

If you ask my OH she will tell you i'm past my best and ready for the compost heap, knowing she watches CSI and all the other Murder Investigation tv shows, I get the feeling she is working out how to put me in that compost heap with out being caught, it would explain why shes bought so much quick lime

[Two_Sheds]

couldn't quite work out how to sow more on top of some already settled if it's in containers?

with lettuce etc, you can sow a whole module of, say, 24 cells. Plant out 8, when they are big, plant out the next 8 and so on.
With radish, when I pull one I sow another seed in its place [/QUOTE]

A4A?

[enrich100]

I forgot to say we have a selection of useful links in the new shoot section that maybe useful

Useful Links

Thanks, will have a look.

Radish is one I am thinking of growing this year, so it's useful to know I can sow, grow, plant, re-plant.

is it only me that can't see this?

[Pidge]

No, even I can't now.

Someone earlier said A4A after quoted my comment on bullying. Wans't sure what it meant.

[piskieinboots]

A4A?

Ah, here tis, is this the name of a site that is prone to bullying maybe?

[enrich100]

Allotments 4 All forum maybe

[Pidge]

Oh, no.

Don't worry, it was a very silly thing for them to do but we'll leave it there.

I need to concentrate on planning my new veggie/herb patch.

[SarzWix]

Well, we're glad to have you, however you got here

'Furtle' should be a Flump But in fact it's our word for rooting in the soil to see if any potatoes are ready to harvest
