Welcome Sweet Leak,

Please feel free to ask for any advice you need and can't find.....somebody on here will know the answer, and they are all a friendly lot.....feel free to chip in as well!

[Lesley Jay]

Sweet Leak welcome on board. We are indeed a friendly lot and don't be frightened to ask any questions no matter how small. Are you growing your vegetables in your garden?

[nick the grief]

We are all quite mad as well SW Welcome to the Vine.

Welcome!!!

Welcome!

I found out today that you should only water newly planted seeds and seedlings with fresh rain water or the cleanest water you can find. Water that has been standing can have a higher nitrate content and may scortch your delicate seedlings.

I usually charge £49.99 per useless random fact that I give out but you can have that one for free!!

This really is such a friendly site though, I joined a few hours ago and I can't break away - way too addictive!

thanks everyone hope your ok i am growing mostly growing toms beetroot lettice carrots . this is my frist time for growing things when do you think its to plant my runner beans?

[Alice]

I would plant the runner beans now. Have just planted mine. They grow very quickly but you cant plant them outside until frost is past. Planted now they will will be ready to be out permanently by end of May. Good luck . Keep us posted with progres.

[sweet leak]

thank you. ive been told by a couple people i could plant them stright outside at the beginning of the month

[Lesley Jay]

Sweet Leak you can plant all types of beans and peas directly into the soil. I can't because the mice pinch them and I think they are probably better started off inside. I sow one bean per cell in multi compost and they come out great. You buy the cells at the garden centres there are 24 cells per tray.
