Quote: zooo @ June 12 2011, 12:11 AM BSTI picked one carrot (because I could see it was an amusing shape)
Photos please! We'll be the judge as to how amusing the shapes are.
Ha. Sadly it's not in the shape of a 'thingy'. So it would only be a let down.
Although, if rumour is to be believed I hear pigs have thingies shaped like my carrot.
I've just put up an album of pics from my allotment on Facebook.
I'll post the highlights here later.
Cool
will there be root vegetables that look like penises?
My parsley has started shooting up over the last two weeks. It's top heavy, too, so is constantly tumbling over.
No. The pigeons nibbled at my swedes and I had to uproot them.
But, worry not- I've sown a new batch!

Ah, the old 'is it a weed if I like it' syndrome. Around my pond, there are all sort of wildflowers I've allowed to grow, all of which are conventionally thought of as weeds. In one area, I would like the existing buttercups (a 'weed') to prosper, but they are being swamped by geraniums. So the geraniums are acting as weeds, even though they are 'really' ordinary plants. A weed is truly just a plant in the wrong place, yet we the notion persists that certain ones are weeds.
At horticultural college one of the mantras was 'ANY plant can be a weed'.
For example: Muscari armeniacum are wonderful little bulbs, but if you don't control them can become a 'weed'. Same for Spanish bluebells.
A weed is simply defined as a plant growing in an unwanted or invasive way.
I left all the pretty flowery weeds in my vegetable garden. Just took out the boring green leafy ones.

Could be a bad mistake, zooo. Once they set seed you will have lots more weeds next year (or even this year).
Don't care, they are pretttyyyyyyyyyy.
Sometimes you can have flowers in with your veg, it's called Companion Planting.

They have to be the right flowers, mind.
Yup^ And you must grow as many flowers as you do edibles. i.e. Grow 20 marigolds next to 20 lettuces to attract slugs away from the salad crop.
