How to tell crops are ready to harvest and eat?
How can I tell if the crops I am growing are ready to harvest? Aside from washing them thoroughly, what else should I do to make sure they are safe for eating? If washed well, can I eat say carrots that I have grown in the ground without cooking them?
Grass growing after decking removal
My family and I moved into a new house recently. There is old decking at the end of the garden and we’d prefer to have an all grass garden. If we have the old decking removed, is there any chance that grass will grow again there? My partner and I asked the previous owners and they said the decking has been there since the early 2000s. Or we will have to install artificial grass instead?
Painting decking
I have painted my decking with fence paint not knowing you can buy decking paint, so can I paint on top of the fence paint with the decking paint

Which is better in a garden between block paving and pattern imprinted concrete?
I am looking to have a new path across a pebble area in my garden and currently I am considering block paving and pattern imprinted concrete. Does anyone have some advice or past experience with these over a longer period of time? Ideally, it should be a long-lasting solution to be kept for several years to come. I have heard that imprinted concrete can crack and split over time due to use and erosion – is this the case, and if so, are there any reasonable preventative measures I could take?

small summer house shed combo
I have a big London plane tree at the bottom of my garden. I'd like to have a garden shed / summer house at the bottom of the garden. The London plain produces abundant leaves. Would that cause a problem to the structure in the long run? I would prefer paving slabs, rather than concrete as a base. Would that be ok?
Perennial Vs annual gardening
Can you explain to me what distinguishes a perennial from an annual in gardening?
