Turmeric (haldi) is easy to grow from a piece of root bought for eating, but I find that to get a proper whopper your best bet is to use a self-watering system.

Inspired by EAT YOUR FRONT GARDEN by Mat Coward, I flabbergasted to get a knock on the door and be given a Front Garden Award!

A few years ago I worked out a "universal" chutney recipe adaptable to use whatever the garden is producing at any time. Two key points: basic ratio is 3kg (prepared weight) of fruit & vegetables to 1 litre vinegar to 500g sugar; & chop all produce uniformly, roughly dice-sized.

We stopped putting tea bags in the compost when we found their plastic ghosts in the compost later. So we now put just the tea leaves in the compost and put their bags in the general waste. Some tea bags now claim to be compostable though ...

One gardening myth that causes a lot of disappointment: "potatoes are ready when they flower." Some varieties don't flower. Some are ready long before they flower. Some still aren't ready when they do flower. Feel the tubers in the soil with your fingers: only sure way of knowing

One of my favourite vegetables every year. Cucumber Patio Snacker in a self-watering pot in an unheated conservatory. Starts cropping 6" cukes in mid-May.
