Nice simple installation. Nothing invasive, which is perfect for your allotment
Awesome! So underrated
Thanks for watching, definitely these look great in the kitchen 👌🌱
That’s a neat idea Glen, I’ve got some 6mm water wicking cord left over from another self watering project I tried, so I might try using that. 🥬🥬👍
thanks so much for the idea Glen 🤗 I did two bottles today with left over tom thumbs 🥬 enough left for another bottle 💚 going to use best one as a centre piece in my local show, surrounded by my other salad produce 😊 🥒🥔🥕🫑🍅🧅🌰
That sounds like a great idea, If it fills out enough then your show display will look amazing (gold all the way)😍 But are the Judges ready to see something new and a fresh approach. I really hope you do well. keep me posted🌱🌱🙏🙏
@@veggiepatchideas they will only know it's there if they 'dig in' 🤣 doing a 500ml version with colourful cut and come again leaves 💚🤞
Love this idea. Brilliant. How do I make sure my lettuce have plenty of nutrients to ensure nutritious leave? can feed be [ut in the bottom reservoir? Thank you. Happy gardening 🙂
The compost will have enough nutrients, how ever you can blood fish and bone in the mix if needed, or a liquid feed (small amount). Happy growing 🙏🙏🌱🌱
Plus great idea for kids to grow things 👍👍, I passed on to a few of my fb groups
Thanks Ali, means a lot. It's nice to have a few weeks of slug free lettuce that's for sure. 🌱🌱🙏 Have a great weekend
Very cool idea Glen, I’ll try this too, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦
Definitely 🙏🌱
Great idea 🌱🥗🌝👍
Thanks for watching, they look really good when they grow out a bit 🌱🙏
Nice video 🧡
Thanks Moses 🙏🌱
Woodchip all the way, I use Woodchip at my allotment
Definitely easy maintance 👍🙏
i know this isnt a new vid but the snails under your spring onions annoyed me hahaha
Yeah and me 🤣🤣
Best bit of advice in this video, when it’s hot, sit back and enjoy your garden. 👍 with the sweetcorn Glen, what are you protecting them from?
Pretty much everything will go after the corn and they will know the first days its ripe.. 🤣🤣 for me its badgers, foxes and deer. but can be rats or mice as well
Ha we did some trimming this week and I’ll chop leaves for the leaf mould bin. I always find August is for weed and feed time. My one apple 🍏 is dong ok so far 😂😂. I will be sowing some thing mid to late August as it’s still a bit too hot and things will do batter if it’s a bit cooler. Great update and tips as always Glen, have a fab week, Ali 🥵 33c🌞🇨🇦
Yeah I cant keep up with the weeds this year, extending the site has created a lot more work, happy days 🤣🤣 Have a great week end 🙏🙏🌱🌱
Here's just a few of the essential jobs for August on the Allotment, take your time and get it right. follow these simple guides for a productive site. What jobs do you have planned this month? I'd love to know ..
Good morning from Florida😊. Getting ready to film harvesting the last of my 🥒 and start some determinate tomatoes 🍅. Great video my friend. Thank you for sharing 💚🫶🏾🌞
Thanks Moses, have a great day in the garden🙏🙏🌱🌱
Escapees aka mystery plant 😂😂
😂 mixed seed means I don’t have to prick out as much (not my favourite thing to do). So glad you got some awesome sunshine we are due ☔️☔️☔️ tomorrow 🤞🤞. Have a wonderful week ahead, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
27 degrees here today ☀☀☀☀everything is cooking nicely. Have a great day Ali 🙏🙏🌱🌱
Just found this channel and I'm in Bristol it's an instant sub 😁
Thanks for watching really appreciate it, welcome to the channel. Yep I'm not to far from Bristol so we'll share the same weather 👍🌱🙏
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching 🌱🌱🙏🙏
if growing carrots in modules how do u know when its time to plant them out thanks
I let the tops get to 2" then it's time to plant out. The root part will be 1" then so use a deep tray if you can. 🙏🌱
Good day Glen💚. Mixed lettuce is a favorite of mine too
Can't go wrong with mix red 🙏🌱
Walk of shame......For plug plants at the Garden Centre...... They don't make much out of you, then?😁
Ha ha, sure they love me 🤣, I got a 10% discount for all my plot holders as well. 🙏🌱
Those dwarf beans really are great. This is the first time I've grown them this year and I was amazed at how many beans came off those tiny plants. Nice video. Cheers!
Definitely the perfect gap filler, remember to leave some beans on the plant and harvest for next year's seeds👍 🌱🙏
22^~~~♡ I enjoy the video you re the best l want to have a good relationship so lm going there 🎁
Hi and welcome to my channel, Thanks for watching 🙏🙏🌱🌱
Sowed loads more the other day, my favourite is Red Swan, I tried them in pots this year a bit disappointing as it’s too hot but I won’t give up trying. Happy growing Glen, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Hi Ali, I'm working through the colours Red next year for me. always fun to try new verities. Have a great day 🌱🌱🙏🙏
@@veggiepatchideas these are a bush variety let me know if you want to try some 👍
Will have to get me some of those to try, thanks Glen.
Thanks Pete, The perfect gap filler 🙏🙏🌱🌱
This really is a very easy plant to grow and care for, The dwarf beans requires very little effort. I'll be growing this every year! Have you tried them yet?
Good morning ☀️. Very inspiring and informative video. Thank you for sharing 💚🤗
Thanks Moses, they are definitely worth trying 🌱🙏
Excellent advice Glen but I kind of fell short of the trimming rule. It’s been so hot I couldn’t get outside to keep up with them 😂. But I do have a strong trellis 👍. Have a great day Glen and as always thanks for the great information, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦
I'm sure when you get back out there you may find a tomato jungle 🤣🤣🍅🍅 Stay cool Ali
Great information 🐝💚👍🏿
Thanks Moses, Just need some sun now 🌱🌱🙏🙏
I’ve grown onions for the first time from autumn sets. They were brilliant. All harvested and curing at the mo. This is only my second year of growing any veg. I’ve also dug up a second early potato I planted and that was much better than last years. Courgette not doing brill yet but I’m hopeful. All this in 2 raised beds. I’ve made a kale bed out of a wooden crate and had it covered from before planting out. That is coming on great. Last year my kale disappeared over night due to caterpillars. I didn’t know you had to net it.
Wow, sounds like your on track and it just shows you don't need loads of beds, My onion sets went in very early then just sat in water for months on end. This was the first year they failed me! And yes cover your broccoli cabbage white butterfly will lay eggs otherwise. Thanks for commenting 🌱🌱🙏🙏
The dahlias look amazing and hopefully it’s being in the raised beds that helped. Mine are in pots so I’m going to try leaving them protected on the patio 🤞🤞. I was quite disappointed however that I bought a black dahlia seed online and it came out pink. Kale 🥬 looks excellent as does the broccoli 🥦 . All in all Glen not a bad result after all the crap weather. Have a wonderful weekend, Ali 🌞31c 🇨🇦
Thanks Ali, I'm running a bit of an experiment with dahlias, raised bed vs pots vs polytunnel. raised beds are well ahead at the moment 👌👌 Have a great weekend 🌱🌱🙏🙏
Your garden's looking very lush and healthy, new friend here. 🔔
Welcome, really pleased to have you on board, hope my dahlia's were up to standard 🙏🌱🌸
I’m in much the same position as you, already picking cherry tomatoes and cucumbers and the pea harvest has and still is fantastic. Your sweet corn outside is a bit further on than mine, but my poly tunnel corn is well over 7 feet. Much of my success I put down to following the great advice you pass on. It’s a great channel Glen 🙏👍
Thanks Pete, means a lot. Never tried corn in the tunnel as I always run out of space, you have the the luxury of space."Im jealous" 🤣 Have a great weekend ⚽⚽
As usual my friend, very nice video🤗💚🌱
Thanks Moses 🙏🙏🌱🌱
In a year that's been far from normal, what victories have you had? And what will you do differently? for example: My French beans totally failed this year despite trying three lots! I'm going to try some white lady runner beans in a hope for a late harvest. I'll pick then young to keep to the Mrs happy!
I just lost my final butternut and crown Prince plants to slugs. My first earlies have drowned , the pigeons have pulled up all my peas,, my greenhouse is waterlogged so my garlic rotted and I still can't plant my cucumbers .and a stupid woodpidgeon got in my polytunnel and knocked half the apricots off my tree and the storm blew over my tallest sunflower , this years been a nightmare , On the upside my wildlife pond is looking gorgeous
Hi Jimmy, its been an apocalyptic year so far, so take comfort in the fact your not alone. Start some more seeds off (fast crops) and give those a go. hope some tips in that video helped you out. I may be putting in a small pond over the winter, so stick around, I may need your advice 🌱🌱🙏🙏
@veggiepatchideas last night the slugs ate my French beans the foxes have been swimming so even that looks crap today . New plan is starting off some winter veg and spreading green manures /cover crops on my empty beds
Drop the music
Agreed, I'm trying 😂
