Snow
by cathy squires,
It's not growing, it's melting!
Sorry, I just needed to get that out. If I stare at the garlic patch, will the tops appear?

Pretty peach tree
So, we were terrified that the new peach tree (just planted last summer) had died during the winter. It lost all its leaves!
Then a few weeks ago it grew two flowers. Now it is full of flowers, and the new leaves are from 2 to 5 cm long. It's looking very healthy.
And flowers means fru…

Propagating purslane?
by Skud,
There is lots of purslane growing wild near here, along the tram tracks. Just recently I've seen a few plants pop up in my garden, and was delighted, because the ones along the tram track probably have a lot of traffic exhaust all over them and I'd rather not eat them. But the volunteers in my …

Do you stake wild sweeties?
by Skud,
I have a wild sweetie tomato plant that I got as a seedling from woolfit. It grows the tiniest, sweetest, most delicious little tomatoes on spreading branches. When I first looked it up I thought it said "determinate" so I didn't stake it. But now it has these branches that are spreading up to…

Propagating Mulberries?
by fe2h2o,
So… We're about to move. I have a fabulous mulberry tree in the yard, which I had thought to take with us… but when I actually looked, it has grown far more than I'd realised in the last 12 months. So now, it's way too big to move. I have heard tell that mulberries can be quite variable as …
