| Beans |
These were
planted during June (click
here) and took off really
well (click
here) Sharon picked a few good handfuls, but then they just went dormant ... leaves went brown and the plants looked like they were giving up !! She still has the packet of seeds and will give them another try ... another day |
| 'Heart' Lettuce |
These were
planted during July (click
here) and like the beans,
they took off ... but did not form a 'heart' !! Sharon used the leaves in her salads, but all the plants have now been uprooted ... except for one, which looks like it might do as it should !! ... and that one 'didn't work' either !! |
| 'Leaf' Lettuce |
Lots of varieties
of these have been planted ... and they have been very successful Sharon says it is months since she has had to buy any of these !! |
| Radish | Again these have been great and there are always a few ready to be eaten ... by Geoff !! |

Good morning Your Company name and logo was on the above label Using Google Search, I found your web site HERE I rang the phone number shown to confirm the email address that was listed on this page The lady I spoke to suggested I write to you And now to our request !! Eggplant Mini Lebanese My Darling Wife Sharon is having "just a little bit of trouble" with this plant !! I thought I would write to you on her behalf and ask for some help and advice We purchased it and planted it in a large pot on Saturday 6th December 2008 When it was bought, it had a few flowers on it ... but these dropped off after a day or two Sharon just presumed that it was due to the transplanting and did not worry about it It is growing very, very well It is in full sun, and following the instructions from the nursery where we bought it, it is very lightly fertilised with fish emulsion once per week It is watered when the potting soil she used begins to look a little bit dry Growing !! ... New Stems and Leaves !! ... Looks Healthy !! And it is flowering all the time, as the photo below shows But after reaching this stage, these flowers are also dropping off No Flowers = No Fruit ... and that is a bit frustrating !! Are you able to offer some reason for this, or can you suggest what Sharon might be doing wrong, or what she should be doing that she isn't, etc Thanks for your time, and look forward to hearing from you Regards .... Geoff x x x ----------------------and the reply x x x x Hi Geoff Well, I had a bit of a chat to a couple of my staff that love gardening and they had a few ideas It could be a bit too dry I'm told the flowers will drop off if it's too dry, and possibly should be watered morning and night Or have a saucer under the pot and top it up as the water is used Also maybe a bit of cover on top of the mix ... a bit of mulch to stop the soil from drying out By the sound of your fertilisering routine, this should be fine Just make sure it is for vegies as it will need potassium (flower) and nitrogen (growth) Hope some of this info will fix the problem and please let me know you go Regards ...
