The edible garden show

[bearded bloke]

So ordering online doesn't count as buying seeds Must be male logic in there somewhere

I would respectfully draw your attention to the caveat applied here ... http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ml#post1103217 ... which you will note has been approved by yourself

Collard greens at Monte gardens ............










Photograph everything

[veggiechicken]

Is that what they look like? That garden makes mine seem flat That's what amazed me about Madeira - every available space is cultivated - and irrigated. Construct a terrace - even though its only a few feet wide, then a levada for water, with little sluice gates. Do I remember correctly - that each landowner had a time slot when the water came onto his land - then he shut the sluice and his neighbour had the water.

[bearded bloke]

Yep,they just strip a few leaves off as & when needed,regarding levada's,that is basically how it still works today VC,the really major difference are the modern road network on the south of the island & the large amount of untended terraces as more of the younger generation move away or get involved in tourism

[veggiechicken]

It'll be a great shame if the old ways of cultivation are lost and the island reverts to natural vegetation.
OMG is this a tangent
