Questions

I have a raised bed in a small unheated greenhouse. In summer I have tomato plants in it. Last winter I overwintered strawberry plants in it. this year I would like some colour in it for winter. Can you recommend anything? It fits about 10 tomato plants. The greenhouse is not made of glass.

I believe there are blight-resistant potatoes now that you do not have to spray for blight. Do you have any names? And where would I get these?

Gerry, I have British Queens potatoes growing in a steel barrell, if I put fleece over the top will it protect them from blight attack

I got two packets of Nemoslug and used them on my veg plots, but I am wondering will the slugs travel from the untreated parts of the garden to the plots. the garden is large and I couldn't treat it all.

Hi Gerry, I'm a new member here, so forgive me if I have put this in the wrong place. I am also new to veg. gardening this year.I have planted 6 or 7 different varieties of potato but one of my 1st earlies (Ballydoon) is showing a few brownish patches on a few of the uppermost leaves. The patches are associated with a rip or tear in the leaf. Any ideas ? One of them has just flowered. as they were planted on 1st March having previously sprouted. Would I be wise to just harvest them & burn the stalks ? I would like to attach a picture here, but can't see how to do this. Thanks.

Hi Gerry, last year I had potato blight. I dug up the potatoes and covered the ground with a layer of manure and newspaper, then black plastic last autumn. That ground is still covered and I wonder if there is blight still in the ground. What can I plant there?
