When I was a hort student our lecturer insisted that when pricking out or transplanting seedlings, never hold them by their stems, hold them by their most dominant leaf. This ensures that the more delicate stems don’t get inadvertently bruised or crushed especially for guys like me with not so brilliant fine motor skills, also it’s much easier to see where you’re putting the roots without pork sausages blocking the view 😂
Pak Choi are so rewarding. I growing them at a Junior School and my first crop bolted (undesired flowering) and seeded during a end of term break. The seeds are tiny and went everywhere. Now we have them popping up everywhere… even from cracks in the paving. Left alone they will just keep on germinating, growing, flowering and seeding and repeating the whole cycle again and again. Admittedly our climate is warmer so things grow quicker but we’re getting a harvest about every 40days… and I’m only watering, the rest they’re doing themselves.
@@TheGreyGardener1990 yes from April the council will be charging 45 pounds A year to empty any garden waste so what I am doing is asking for them to bring it to the allotment and I will compost it and not to pay for it to be took away I live in Middlesbrough and we start the first week in April

Tried to have spinach between? Insects did not touch my Spinach last year, but did eat my broccoli plants beside it so not sure how much it helps
I've got a video out on Sunday about growing marigolds and these are great companion plants. Slugs absolutely stripped them
What is Pak chow is it a bit like A cabbage and when are you starting your garden jobs
