This appears to be a bad Summer for Pollination of Fruit trees in the West of Ireland.Can you give me some 'specific advise' about the pruning of young Fruit trees. The trees are only in their second year from the Garden Center and are Apple and Plum.
I'm a first time veg gardener and was wondering how long I have to keep spraying my potatoes with Dithane? There is some blight in the crop but I've been removing those plants as far as possible. Will the healthier plants give me bigger potatoes if I keep spraying? I've been getting conflicting advice from people at the allotment some of whom have only sprayed three times over the summer.
Is it correct to remove all leaves on tomato plants. I did this in July. What purpose does all this greenery serve. My tomatoes are all like cherry toms although they should be bigger. I'm just a novice in the greenhouse dept.
I have recently used b&q organic living tomato feed on my tomatoes and also on strawberries. my tomatoes died and Im not sure if its because of the feed as I know it has been withdrawn from the market. Is it safe to eat the strawberries?
Is it too early to plant tulips now,end august. when they are finished blooming do they need to be lifted and does their dying foliage spread disease among tulips?
Just want to know when is the best time to move my spiraea as it is too big for where I put it.
