websters gue   16 #13 Posted March 24 I put some Pentland Javelin first early potatoes in today. I put them in a raised bed and I’ll put a cover over them if there’s a risk of frost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Thanks . It’s just that I’m trying another new type of big tomato this year and it specifically says not to take out the side shoots.

Beechwood_S6   101 #15 Posted March 24 we've grown a few heritage and heirloom varieties , they worked well much better to have good sized fruit than a shed load of green vines doing nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
