Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the site? Been getting "Server unavailable, please try again later" for a week now.

So I was given a packet of mangetout seeds that are four years out of date, sowed 36 and 20 have germinated. Wasn't going to do peas this year but as they were free...

What are your thoughts on seeds that have passed their expiry date?

Personally I think it's a scam.

Has anyone else had these little buggers?

Had to burn all my onions that weren't under netting and looks like my shallots will be incinerated tomorrow.

This is the fourth time in five years. First year it was my leeks

Second year it was _all_ my garlic and most of the onions (autumn gold)

Third year no alliums planted as apparently they stay in the soil.

Fourth year, total loss of everything allium related.

And here we are on year five... Luckily leeks are still in the greenhouse but they could get hit on the miner second cycle in September/October.

Quick question, has anyone tried electro culture and do you think it has any merit?

A couple of my plot neighbours swear by it but it seems a bit, well, flat earthish to me.

Willing to try it if it works.
