Thanks for the feedback Robert, I never had much luck with Black Beauty and need to get some fresh seeds for when I decide to try them again. Maybe in 2025, we'll see.

I don't blame you as they can be so infuriating. Here's to a bountiful 2025, it'll soon be time to start planning and looking through my seed stash! Happy New Year.

Thanks Kim. I'm guessing you have the invasive comfrey. I looked it up and there are a few ways which are best used together. The main tap root is a big problem so deep digging to get it out can do it. Covering in black plastic, constant pulling, cutting back, and preventing seeds from spreading can all help too. Good luck and a happy New Year to you and yours.

Bloomin' rats were a pain in my side last year although they seem to have abandoned the polytunnel for now! It certainly is chilly and wet out there at the moment although today is not too bad, have you had lots of snow? Just a couple of months before we start all over again.

@ no snow at all. But it ‘s cold 🥶

Which will you choose Jake?

Thanks Linda, a happy New Year to you and yours too. Now to start planning and dreaming of 2025.

Thank you for the feedback, I'll get my skates on and put them up on my website soon.

He certainly is, but the main thing I think makes Charles stand out, is that he is a practising food grower who has made some of his living from growing and supplying food to customers. He's not just a 'influencer'. He really knows his stuff and even if he hadn't championed no-dig he'd be worth learning from. A real inspiration.

Some better than others but all worth a try.

I heard there are about 10,000 varieties of tomatoes to choose from! Alice's Dream is one of the best I have tried but there could be many thousands more, it drives me crazy thinking about it!

Thank you and a happy New Year to you and yours too. It seems almost a distant memory now and it will soon be time to start planning for 2025.

@@veggieplot yes, so exciting! 🙂

Me too, although I left it a little late again this year. Still, it gives us a moment to reset and think about other things in life. I'll be starting to plan soon and rummaging through all my seeds, it might be time for some different and fresh new ideas.

Thank you Robert, and a Happy new Year to you and yours too.

...and a Happy New Year to you Anne... it seems ages away now.

Apologies for the slow reply. I am not sure yet although they are shooting up well so I'll probably check the roots to see how they have filled out the cells and then decide. They are still in the polytunnel at the moment.

⁠@@veggieplotthat’s ok no worries it’s been Xmas , I put some in outside covered them with fleece til I saw some sprouting then left it off and the birds have been pulling them. I’m thinking to start some more like you in the-tunnel now and get plenty come summer. Garlic also they are always good for sharing with the family . Thanks

Apologies for the slow reply Adrian, I hope you had a good Christmas too and here's to a bountiful 2025.

Apologies for the slow reply Michael, I hope you had a good Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thanks John, happy New Year to you and yours.

Thank you Sylvia, and a Happy New Year to you.

I do find it strange that they don't just sieve it like we do, especially the expensive stuff. I know there are industrial sized sieves so it can't be that difficult. Happy New Year to you Ali.

You’re welcome 👍🏻. I don’t have a heater in the polytunnel although I have thought about creating an enclosed area within it and heating it somehow.

Thank you for the feedback Pauline, I'll see what I can do.

Yep, they took a while to get going this year and they're still soldiering on, crazy weather is keeoing them warm! I built my polytunnel out of scaffold and timber which was much cheaper than off the shelf. You can custom the design and size too which is handy. Would a video on how I did it be useful?

@ a video going through materials and how you built it would be great thank you

Hey Ali, thank you, seasons greeting to you and yours too. We had winds again yesterday but there isn't much left to blow down!!

Yes, I am grateful it didn't blow the other way as it would have been a disaster.

They're good fun to grow and not too hot, however I think I grow them because I like the look of them! I have enough dried spaghetti chilli to last a life time!

Oh my that sounds awful, it would be soul destroying to loose the polytunnel or greenhouse as they are so integral to what I love doing. I feel for you and your relative. I hope they can salvage things for next year.

Happy Holidays to you too, and fingers crossed for no more crazy storms this winter! I was really lucky this time around.

I am sure they were blasted too but we didn't hear about it.

@veggieplot sorry was meaning your discount code for your calendar

I was certainly lucky this time around. Last year some glass blew out of the greenhouse but that was okay this time.

Hi Linda, thank you and a Merry Xmas to you and yours too. I sure was lucky with that tree as it could so have gone the other way and wrecked everything. I dread to think. You're right about the compost, it still smells in there now... quite honky! Not that I mind if it makes the plants grow stronger. The chard seems to have coped with the move and definitely looks healthier than the plants out on the allotment which were shredded by the storm! Hopefully no more high winds for a while.

Brilliant, thanks Jo, I packed everything up today and will pop it in the post tomorrow, (Monday) including the spaghetti chilli.

I sure was lucky Rowena, and I think the extra light will certainly improve things next year. 🤞🏻 another massive tree doesn’t take its place.

I am so pleased you like it and hope you have a splendid growing season 2025. Planning is half the fun I think 🎄✨🌱

Hello Richard, all the details can be found on my website veggieplot.uk and I have a special offer for free delivery at the moment with the code: youtubecal

You can’t beat a decent BLT with a proper slicer in there. You’re making me hungry now 😂🍅

It was quite a surprise as all previous years had been a flop re. cauliflowers. We’ll have to see if I can do it again in 2025 🤞🏻

Thank you for your order Sydney, much appreciated and I hope they do well for you in 2025 👍🏻🍅

Hey, thank you. Apologies for the slow reply and a Happy New Year to you.

Thanks Pauline, mine will get rust too later on which reminds me to pop up to the allotment and harvest some more asap. Apologies for the slow reply and a Happy New Year to you.

You're right, they certainly gave it their all at towards the end which was a pleasant surprise.

I was really surprised by them this year as I planted them out so late! Apologies for the slow reply and a Happy New Year to you and yours.

Thank you.

Thanks, I was lucky considering I didn't think I'd get any this year.

The netting kept them off most of the season but I was lucky once they had dried. I lost a few to slugs but not many this year.

Thanks Nik, I think it must come down to the local environment and what wildlife is in the area. The garden at home has been a challenge for me this year, especially towards the end of the season. Everything seemed to get eaten! Apologies for the slow reply and a Happy New Year to you and your family.
