Questions

i had vine weevil killer (sachet type that you mix with water) and used it on rhubarb and herbs which are grown in large containers. Is it ok or not to use the herbs and rhubarb ?

there is a mould on the green parts of my onions.It started in the shallot bed and is slowly spreading to the other onion beds.I have pulled up all the shallots and sprayed the rest with Dithane.Is it too late,have I lost them all or is there something else I can do?Help!

Congrats on the new website,something like this was long overdue....I am attempting to grow turnips on a small scale,last year i found the tops were constantly been eaten by some fly,(full of small round holes)This year the growth is emerging well,should I spray this growth ,or would the potato spray (Diathane) be any good..i cannot find any slug or fly on the foliage so just looking for advise if I should spray them

Hi Gerry - we have lovely cabbbage plants coming along but the rabbbits are eating them. What can we do. Regards Majella.

I transplanted several courgette seedlings into a bed about a month ago, and one after another, three of them were sliced through the stem at soil level and were left lying there.Would a cutworm be likely to be the problem here? Would it attack these two plants? Can you think of anything else that might be to blame?

Hello Gerry, I am an oap and have just started to try to grow a few veges for myself. I brought 3 runner plants and put them in a grow bag. They were doing really well until a few days ago I notice that one plant completely died and the others look as though they are stricken with the same complaint - the leaves look as though they have been eaten away leaving just the skeleton - I'm so disappointed - can you help? I love runner beans but they are so expensive in the supermarket. Thank you, Katie.
