P.S. This will be the longest of the eps I promise! Had a lot of important initial ground to cover 😅 - Навчання та стиль
I know a lot of people who want to grow veg but don't know how this will be a great resource
This is so great to hear and it's exactly what I was hoping for, that it could be a useful resource for new growers. Thank you!
looking forward to this 😍
I'm so please to hear this - thank you!
USEFUL THANKU I'm growing tomatos!!!
That is awesome - one of my absolute favourite veg to grow and they work so well in pots!
OMG iv been looking for something like this
Hooray 🎉 I hope you find the tutorials useful
Slugs are getting on my nerves right now eating up my Daffs. Foxes seem to like the warm bedding i've just made - go away! Aubergine, spinach and lobelia seedlings seem to be scared of the outside world and stopped growing :(. One tip. If you put seed trays on a radiator they seem to help germination - but that's probably a bad thing so don't follow me. :)
Ahh the pesky slugs - I hear you Chantel! This year I've used nematodes for the first time and so far so good. They're not the cheapest defense but I reckon worth it for a natural option. When it comes to mammal pests (foxes, squirrels, cats etc.) I find a sprinkling of the hottest chilli powder you can find really works. All mammals cannot tolerate capsicum, whereas it doesnt affect birds or insects at all. You will just need to reapply after it rains. And absolutely, germinating on a radiator is a great idea! I actually cover this in Episode 2, the video after this one 😁 I hope you have a great growing season! Where are you based?
can you grow cucumbers in pots
Yes absolutely, cucumbers work great in pots! I will be creating a tutorial about how to sow and plant up cucumbers once we're in spring as it's too early to sow them yet (they grow fast!) Stay tuned :)
Does asparagus work in pots?
Hello! I do believe asparagus need to be grow in the ground. They're also perennial meaning you plant them once and they come back each year, rather than vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers where you sow them each season :)
