Gardening with Joey

[Joey66]

I am thinking of planting a Chamomile lawn from parent plants in the future

@Joey66 : I bought a small tub of thyme reduced in price from the supermarket. It's a little distressed at the edges, but otherwise fine. Can I plant this in the garden, do I thin it out, or put it in some water before I do anything ?

Lovely to see the thread back and seeing what you are all up to. Love your garden too Joey.
We have got in to growing edible stuff over the last couple of years.
Couple of pics of the sweetcorn and purple sprouting brocolli which seems to be coming on ok. Also a pic of some stuff we got out of the greenhouse for a little salad tonight

We have been told the leaves are like a lovely spring cabbage....don't know if it's true but we will do some with Sundays roast. Florets not quite there yet

Yeah, not sure what type you have there, but I always use the young leaves next to the florets, but leave the main ones because the plants will keep on pushing out small florets.

Have you still got the lupins in the bed @Joey66 ?

Water well- trim off the distressed pieces neatly & then feed

Cheers. Leave it in the pot it came in then ?

No a magnet for blackfly & mildew - so removed them & replaced them with carnations...

If root bound- pot it on 10cm larger with a bit of bone meal in the mix

Dimmock or Titchmarsh in your esteemed opinion Brother Joseph?

Once again, thanks.
