Gardening guidance 25
Life is a way greater than a bowl of cherries in the garden, today as Jim and also Carole harvest bucketfuls of ripe cherries in the fruit house.
Carole goes to two enthusiastic showers and also farmers who are entering the Dundee Flower Show. Alistair Gray in Brechin is a show veggie cultivator and champion of the 2016 World Potato Championship, while Bruce McLeod in Meigle grows champion chrysanthemums.
Jim check outs Philip and Marianne Santer at Langley Park near Montrose. With little previous horticulture experience, they have actually reclaimed the long-neglected yard to produce a haven of colour. To their awe and also delight, the yard has been drawing in visitors to what they call their little piece of heaven.
1. Begonia Propagation
In Carole’s 6 × 8 greenhouse, the Coleus were looking a lot smaller than Bruce’s in Meigle, nevertheless they were expanded from seed. The variety is ‘Chocolate Covered Cherry’ as well as the vegetation was stunning. A fortnight ago the blossom head of the Eucomis was down in the centre of the crown, but today the flower stalk has actually increased nevertheless, the blossom had yet to open.
This time of year is a great time to take some fallen leave cuttings from Begonia ‘Escargot’.
2. Main Vegetable Plot Update
Jim got on the Main Vegetable Plot where he was playing capture up. The trouble was that a number of the potato plants ‘Maris Bard’ were dealing with blackleg. This is a microbial illness which will affect both the plant and also the plant. It is one f the earliest diseases to appear on potatoes flourishing in cozy moist problems as well as sadly there is no chemical control of this disease.
The most essential point to do is to lift affected plants (as well as their crop) as well as ruin them by shedding. This is generally a disease which is rogued out of seed potato crops and also did away with. In your home turning is actually essential as the germs can make it through in dirts overwinter. The excellent news was that several of the very early potatoes were ready to harvest. #gardening #garden
