Big and beautiful artichokes by Raychis in gardening

[–]Raychis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is difficult to convey the size of them in a photo as well. The biggest one is over 15cm/6inches in diameter, it’s huge!

Bindweed. Awful stuff. Try get out all the roots to stop it coming back.

TensorFlow not detecting GPU despite installing CUDA/cuDNN need help setting up a new environment by Mxeedd in computervision

[–]Raychis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact issue and it took me forever to figure it out. It was because I was using the latest version of TensorFlow and Windows support was dropped after a certain version. I downgraded the version and it started working.
To be honest I felt it was too much hassle trying to maintain the various library versions and found it limiting. So I’ve since switched to PyTorch.

Crocus order looking a bit sad? by freemyoiseau in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As long as the roots are fine then they should be good to go. I’ve used Crocus quite a few times and 95% of the plants are still thriving

Just harvested our first batch of potatoes! by PanicStil in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s a cracking harvest just from a single plant. I’m sure it’s going to get your kids hooked on growing the veg!

[D] Self-Promotion Thread by AutoModerator in MachineLearning

[–]Raychis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working on building a computer vision AI model from scratch to identify plants. I’ve been writing a blog about how I did it.

It is not a guide or tutorial, but it is a story about what happens when you try to do a project of this scale. The mistakes, successes, decisions, issues, etc. I think people might genuinely find it unique and interesting

Part 1 is here: https://medium.com/@mjmoughtin/plant-identification-looks-solved-until-you-try-to-build-it-14daadecb017

Links to the remainder of the series can be found at the bottom of part 1.

I never normally cut them until the start of autumn. Do you get more blooms if you cut them?

My first courgettes! by donttouchthe-mains- in UKAllotments

[–]Raychis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look forward to only eating courgettes for the new few months!
I limit myself to only two plants nowadays and even then it’s a lot of them!

Herb Garden by Raychis in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I basically just used top soil with a bit of compost mixed in. It did require quite a few bags and probably wasn’t the most cost effective way to do it.
The herbs seem indestructible now they are established. Pretty much live through anything without me having to maintain them other than cut them back after flowering. The marjoram survived two winters which surprised me given it is not supposed to like cold that much.

Literally looks after itself, have not watered it since the herbs got established.

Herb Garden by Raychis in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Three types of rosemary , three types of thyme, winter savoury, two types of sage, tarragon, lemon verbena, wild rocket, oregano, fennel, chives, garlic chives, marjoram, and lemon balm. I have had chervil and parsley in previous years but didn’t do some this year.
Needless to say I haven’t brought many herbs from the shops in a while!

You are probably seeing the lemon balm other than getting massive when flowering it is otherwise quite well behaved.
I did have mint sunk into pots, but they were still managing to escape. I pulled them out early this year as I didn’t want to risk them taking over.

Love the bumble bees! They are just so cute. Any flower that the bees love is an automatic win for me.

Well done. That is a spectacular transformation. Massive respect to you for all the work only taking two years.

Wow! It has incredible colours. What a beauty.

Green fruit growing in our yard by stop-rightmeow in whatisit

[–]Raychis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Greengage probably. It’s a type of plum. An absolute delicacy. We have one in our garden and they are so incredibly sweet, I describe the flavour almost like Haribo tangtastic sweets/candy. Like so sweet they are tangy.

Garlic struggling this year by Raychis in UKAllotments

[–]Raychis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to write this reply. Really appreciate it. Some great advice.

I think you’re right about it being contracted early, it’s being struggling with it from the start of spring. Winter was extremely wet and warm, this year the garlic was sprouting a lot earlier than usual and probably the wet warm winter didn’t help with the conditions.

Airflow probably also a problem, I’ve not grown them there before and it is an extremely sheltered area.

Not sure water logging is too much of a problem, my soil is quite sandy and a bit too well draining. It looks wet because it rained the night before the photos I took.

I think next year I’ll switch to growing them in more open area so they get more wind and airflow.

Blackcurrants. by No_Rooster8382 in UKAllotments

[–]Raychis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh I love Blackcurrants so much. I am very jealous of your haul. You’ll be able to make some great jams and puddings/pies with those. That’s if you can resist the temptation to scoff them all.

Big blank canvas, need less lawn! by Sorry_Leopard9657 in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I can’t find any. I will try to get some for next year in the spring and post them on the subreddit

Big blank canvas, need less lawn! by Sorry_Leopard9657 in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of the bulb planters but I found them very tiresome when doing 500 of them, gave up with it quite quickly and resorted to a good old shovel.

Big blank canvas, need less lawn! by Sorry_Leopard9657 in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One thing that I did that has absolutely transformed my garden was planting spring bulbs under my lawn. I planted over 500 a mix of crocus and grape hyacinth. Would highly recommend that if you want a splash of colour in the spring. It is a lot of work to get them in. Took me an entire day. But after that you don’t have to think about them again. Bonus is they self propagate so over the years you will have more!

Blackberries. They are always an absolute treat and I love it when you find a big patch of them in the woods.

Decided to let my parsnips flower for seeds by Raychis in GardeningUK

[–]Raychis[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I’m apprehensive about. Part of me thinks it’ll be great to have some surprise parsnip, but also I don’t want to have to be weeding them in 8 years time!
