Always have a back-up plan!The proof of the growing is in the eating.
Leave Rotten Fruit.
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potasium - potash.

My tip is as soon as you get a space ready, put stuff in - it really doesn't matter what you plant - my best success has been with putting bedding plants, veg plants and herbs all mixed together in little patches. I now discover there are more scientific terms for this- but to me it is all about putting what you want to grow in your space, rather than the weeds!Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment

Never give up hope.
If it doesn't grow well this year, don't assume it wont grow next year.
Every year is different as the weather will dictate to a great extent if you will have a bumper crop or a washout.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Learn as you go along! If you were learning a new language you wouldn't be fluent in a few months! Read as many books as you can, what are libraries for? There are so many variables in vegetable growing, just hold your nose and jump in!
Oh and come on here and ask questions. No question is ever silly.Last edited by cupcake; 03-07-2010, 04:49 PM.Mad Old Bat With Attitude.

Remember to sit back, look around and be proud of all you have achieved!Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

My tip would be: go and have another look at your tomato plants - you have missed a sideshoot...
