Hi Hamid. I saw your last video with the damage and to me it looks like birds poking around looking for worms under the cardboard. We have magpies here and they can be pretty mean spirited animals. They just pull plants out for fun while they poke around. I imagine your crows would be similar. They probably have chicks to feed at the moment. An investment in hoops and net will pay dividends. There's probably other animals around English gardens, but the way the cardboard is thrown about and plants pulled out for no reason looks familiar. Anyhow, keep up your enthusiasm and think of the healthy food you're providing your family.

It’s all taking off! Looking good 👍

I didn't water my second early potatoes as much as they actually needed, as I thought the rain would be enough, which it clearly wasn't as half of them have already gone yellow & the two containers I emptied only gave 2.5kg, rather than the 3.5-4kg I expected. Did you find out yet what the pest is- fox/rabbit/rats? I've given up on getting any melons this year - too flippin' cool & the aubergines are looking iffy. Even with the poor season, all you have to do to feel better is look back at your videos from when you first started & see the big difference you've made. Always look on the bright side...

Life is more chaotic than an unpruned tomato plant (😂 garden analogy). So we all understand and family is way more important than veg. It has been so hot here I didn’t get even outside to tie up my tomatoes so,they have fallen over taken over and are still producing so nature finds a way. It will all be ok and if not oh well. It glad your back and keeping your spirits up. Hugs to Daffy and Elijah keep at it, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

Fantastisch Good work Hamids looking planting Good Tomatoes bamboes stokken the planting thans te video Top fried Good weekend 🌾🌿✌️🥔🍅🥒🌻🍹🌤😅

Fantastic work bro, the tomato support is looking good. Glad you're feeling more motivated. I feel your pain! 💪🏾

Great video mate! Glad you're back on it and had a well deserved break! 💪🏾

This is when the good old crossbow comes in handy. Stay pushing Bro. You’re resilient when Fighting on the mat and you are resilient when dealing with your produce.💪

Oh no, how devastating for you, after all your hard work! We are plagued by rabbits and badgers at our allotment and I have to net or barrier EVERTHING. On the sweetcorn, I use sticks in the ground and clip the green debris netting to them around the bed as a barrier, to deter them, it also helps prevent wind rock. I've also used the plastic barrier netting they use on building sites with sticks threaded through the holes and placed around the beds. It's fairly cheap and in black, not as unsightly as the orange. It lasts a few seasons before it gets a bit tatty, but it's effective. We are constantly trying to fight nature in this game and she's much smarter than we'll ever be! Keep going, good luck! 😊

squirrels rip plants out to see if anything is buried under them, they've done this with my cilantro earlier this year.

The vegetables I'm growing in containers is doing a whole lot better than the crops I've planted in the ground! Runner beans are well behind this year too and the peas are just a right off!! But we persevere don't we? Your plot is doing pretty well considering the odds against us this year so far.

are you using chicken manure pellets or blood fish and bone to feed the beds? If so that could be attracting foxes to dig thinking there's a chicken buried there...

One for the rook, One for the crow, One to die and one to grow. You’re doing a fantastic job there. 👍👍👍

Hey i think it’s something looking for snails and slugs or birds like pigeons you need to properly net these areas until the plants are bigger

Maybe a critter cam would solve the mystery.

It’s little holes so I’d say sadly either squirrel 🐿️ or rodent 🐭, scatter chilli powder or flakes but then you have to be careful not to get in in your eyes 😢. But yes positives are what we need to focus on because critters don’t read the rule book. Hope the brassicas do well 🙏. Hugs for Daffy and Elijah 🥰, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

I feel your pain, if it’s not the animals, it’s the slugs. We are always at war with nature😂 Dam vegetables need more care than my children 😂

I'd leave the green netting on the brassicas.I find if you use the finer netting you get plagued by aphids and white fly .

Fantastisch Good work Hamids ola men now Good nieuwe planning groente thans te video fried Top weekend 👍🌤🍹🫘🥦🪴😅🌿🌻🧤

Nice video mate! I'm in the same position. I think it may be a squirrel! Put the nets up and some chilli powder like you said and see what happens! 💪🏾

I've had the same issue with foxes digging up plants. If you use fish blood and bone when planting like me, that seems to be what has attracted them on my plot.

Amazing video brother! I know it's hard but keep your head up and be proud of what you've achieved. It's not easy and you're doing so well!

cats are buggers, digging in weed free areas. just be careful. if it IS a cat, they crap and bury it.................brian

Apparently, it isn’t illegal to grow cannabis. Could you do a tutorial on how to grow cannabis for health and medicinal purposes?😊

There’s a couple of problems. Do you use animal manure as it could be excessive nitrogen manure problem. Needs to break down properly. Then the wood chip encourages too many wood lice which then eat the peas. Try using just compost as the soil really needs the carbon mainly as they feed on that. The animal manure may have pesticide chemicals in as well as animals are medicinally treated.

Been a very strange year this year weather wise, everything is behind, its been very cold for this time of year with massive swings in the day and night temps. hopefully it will balance out shortly. The apple tree looks like a case of either over or under watering. It looks moist enough we have had loads of rain so its prob overwatering and not draining well enough. Great update

Really good video! Your allotment is looking so good! The weather is ruining everything!

i have to admit, i'm not a fan of using wood chip as a mulch. as it rots down it depletes the nitrogen the plants need for new growth. your apple tree could be a good example of that. i prefer to use the chips on the path for a year or two first, THEN put it on the beds and renew the paths with fresh wood chips. try removing the wood chips from the apple tree and give a feed of epsom salts..............brian

I’d leave one bucket of potatoes as a control and fertilise the others.

Your climbing beans look better than mine-mine are completely invisible after two sowings. Not a single one germinated, so I’ve resorted to bush/dwarf beans just to get some beans this year. It’s been a wonky season here in the states too, gets frustrating but it will still produce something 😊

Apple tree looks like fruit blight but I would take it out the pot check is not too damp in the bottom of the pot it's been very wet plastic pots can sweat quite badly and it's been hot and cold a lot they will always be more diseases at an allotment I would put some grit in the bottom of the park lift it up off the ground on bricks spray with plant invigorator and some blight guard next year and put a small handful of chicken pellets on the top and take off the wood chippings

Yes I think you should follow the potato experiment through to get a definitive answer 🙂

It's not just you matey. My climbing French beans are only 20cm high after three weeks & this is in the polytunnel for warmth! This continuing cool weather is holding back the heat lovers such as tomatoes, French beans, aubergines & peppers. I planted far too many broad beans last October (two, 8m double rows). Picked about a quarter of them today: 14kg! This includes pods but stripped will still be at least 4kg of beans to freeze for winter. I'd definitely give your potatoes a liquid feed.

🍅🍆🥬

See the potatoes through, such a great experiment!

Love the videos. Your plot is so well looked after and your hard work really shows.

Brassicas are looking excellent 👍. Awesome tomatoes 🍅 already 🎉, I have some flowers but not actual tomatoes yet. You can also stick suckers in a jar of water and they will get roots. I have seedlings like those from the neighbors trees 🤦‍♀️. It’s been a very odd year for most people but we keep going and do what we can. Have an amazing weekend hugs to Daffy and Elijah 🥰, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦

Just leave one or two unfertilized for comparison????

I think the difference is already evident with the potatoes so I would fertilize them. At the end of the day, this is about providing food for your family. You have to take advantage of the growing season while it’s here. If you had a lot more space to grow, then I would experiment perhaps. So that’s my vote.

great video🔥

I think you proved the point with the Compost fertility and although it maybe too late I would start feeding. I wonder what compost you used? Edit, just been back to look what you used and looks it was Verve multipurpose, which is designed to be fed after 4-6 weeks. Lovely video, well presented.

Amazing video buddy! I think everyone's plot is suffering this year! You're not doing too bad at all. 🎉🎉

Amazing video

Great plant out ! Not a fan of the bean structure ,think it's going to end up in a tangled mess but everything else looking good ! 🫰that the slugs stay away 🙂

Ps if you have any bush beans it’s not too late to sow those 👍👍

It’s jump in feet first time and then we just have to hope it all does well 🙏. We have had some very hot days up to 32c but rain much needed rain is due tomorrow. Your garden has really come a long way since the first videos and chopping down the bay tree constantly 🤭🤭. You should both be very proud. Have a simply awesome day ahead, hugs to Elijah and Daffy, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

When you're planting brussels sprouts (or cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli...), set them deeper than they were in the pots & really firm down the soil round them. I actually use my heel round brussels once they've been in the ground for a week or so - reduces the chance of blown or loose sprouts. Sungold's my absolute favourite cherry tomato.

Very clever to use a bulb planter for the plants!!

Loved watching the setup on this, and looking forward to seeing the progress! 😊
