e55ex0ldb0y Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 So I’ve planted my first line of Cookies fast in the first row of the plot…. Didn’t get any pics of the germination process but soaked he beans for 24hrs before putting them in between wet kitchen towel in an old Chinese dish. They we’re going to be left vegging for another week but due to the weather and work constraints (plus I’m going raving for the first time in about 15 years at the weekend) I decided that I’d plant 5am this morning. All look ok fair root bed and haven’t shown signs of wilting this far. I watered with a half mix of the grow nutrients that were supplied by @Seedstockers-Mark and put about 5 litres in each hole. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my fingers and toes crossed mate I’m not afraid of the graft but it’s the first time I’ve gone outdoors so I’m learning on the job. Just recycling other peoples ideas on here, making sure the ingredients are used correctly and I should be ok. Cheers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be lucky I was a little worried that I had to put them out without giving them a few hours sun in pots a day to get the used to being out. But taking them out everyday isn’t an option for me so they’ve gone inside straight out. I’ve literally just been down there and they are all loving life atm so thinking it wasn’t such a bad idea early Sunday morning. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a look at the plants that are in the garden and yes it’s comfrey also horsetail and a mountainous amount of stinging nettles. All of which are are either a good fertiliser or mean there’s an abundance of nitrogen which is a good sign. my only issue is the vast amounts of Himalayan Balsam growing literally everywhere! The only way to get shot of them is pulling them out before the seed pods explode but the fact they are mixed in with nettles it’s not such a wonderful job. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e55ex0ldb0y Posted May 17, 2022 Author Share Posted May 17, 2022 So it’s been 9 days since the first outdoor plants were put onto the patch and pot…. So far all have survived and are looking really healthy. Won’t be long and I’ll have to take the cage off. Photos to follow later. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepe Ramon Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I know all about Himalayan Balsam dude, I did my thesis at uni on invasive species, keep hand pulling them before they flower and compost them, do this until the seed banks is exhausted, I wouldn't worry about any of the other stuff. The seeds are edible by the way, and bees love it. I think you'll have a bumper crop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
