Indeed, but the cold nights are playing havoc with my planted-out-slightly-too-early French beans.

Plant some catnip and get your cat to keep them warm at night :-)
Ha Ha! good plan.
And logged in...
Was that a glimpse of summer last week? This week I've lit the woodburner again.
ha ha! get those jumpers back out of the cupboard!
Potato plants: frost
At dinner with in-laws last night. I was warned about expected frost. On coming home I forgot to cover my teeny potato plants in 2 tubs. Went out in dressing gown first thing, expecting the worst. Yippee!! they're OK. Poured a layer of compost over them. Apparently newspaper would do...
I'm a newbie with potatoes.
I read something about getting them sprouting on the windowsill before planting, but even though they started sprouting in the cupboard all growth seems to have stopped now - do I plant them or give up and eat them?!
Get them under the soil as fast as you can! Nature is resilient (useful word, that) but only within certain limits.
They are probably softening and ceasing to be edible anyway. If not, and they were sold to you as food, maybe they were irradiated after harvest to delay decomposition. I wouldn't personally recommend eating such stuff.
Regular potatoes from a shop will usually produce plants and a crop, but if you want to maximise your chances of healthy abundant crops, use 'seed potatoes' sold for that purpose.
Potatoes are prone to viruses, so each year grow them on different pieces of land, and use certified seed potatoes.
a bit late my reaction, but thank you for this info

especially here in the south of Franc, yesterday above 40 c, sorry we are counting in celsius

OK, just to make sure I know how this thing works... And to see what happens when I hit the 'Flag as nonsense' button...
Aha. I don't get a FAN button. Makes sense, I suppose. Who (apart from a curious eccentric like me) would want to flag their own content as nonsense?
ha ha ha ha!
not funny it is not raining at all, altough the weatherforcast promised us some rain, so yesterday i installed my drops dripping system, i thought i could garden without watering the plants, but no, they want some drops
Artificial things are sometimes Ok, but nature is better, with permaculture your plants can survive with a minimum of dripping systems
The rain was good for my carrots but my fifth floor downstairs neighbor keeps complaining about the roots.
At least they are growing very well and i thougt that carrots are the roots, so why are they complaining? They have the carrots for free
The rain is destroying my new plants, such a pity, does anybody know how to prevent that?
No comment, just testing to see if my newly-uploaded mugshot works.
Woo hoo! Damn, I'm handsome. B-)
Could you watch your language?
Gosh, I'm handsome!
:-)
looks already better, could you telle us something about the subject ?
Yup. Here you go. Also on Flickr. And LinkedIn. And other places - Google me. I link, therefore I am...
Too many links? what is the right one?
The first one, I guess - it's my Transition Network profile. :-)
I got it, that's the way we did find each other
but i will update my linkedin account to, all good links will help
