I'm trying an aubergine this yr , it's got flowers but they just dropping off
Radish are good
Onion I've tried over the yrs
And runner beans or French beans my favs
Flowers often drop when they get too much N and not enough K Mrs. back off n feeds and add potash usually gets the job done




Yours look wicked hobbit
Ok I'll have a bash and do that , 2 flowers left

yeah the added potash should promote more flowering as well. there are other reasons why flowers dro, over/under watering, lack of S and Cal, but thats a good place to start

Carrots are a good one, takes a few skills to grow good carrots and not to many pests and disease problems.

lol yeah takes a few skills, having soil texture right is what stops that splitting into mutiple roots, they can respond badly if the soil is to fertile as well, then theres getting the moisture levels just right so they dont split, then there is getting em so they juicy and not woody and then theres getting the taste right lol. A good one for a comp me thinks lol. Where i am can guarantee thrips will be around but thrps an easy fix.
