  • in todays episode I show you what to sow in August. What to sow in August will ensure you have leafy greens all through winter and spring. From kale's to cabbages. there's nothing better than a fresh vegetables throughout those cold months. The No-dig raised beds don't necessarily need to be 'put to sleep' for winter..they can be used.
    I also harvest an abundance of polebeans aka runnerbeans. The trug was full to the brim
    Channels mentioned today:
    ‪@doras.allotment‬
    ‪@TheFarmyardGarden‬
    ‪@dogontheplot‬
    I also discuss the failures in the polytunnel including the tomatoes. It's been a disaster of a season for tomatoes.. never mind.
    On the positive note, the flowers are all in full bloom now. The dahlias and sunflowers and sweetpeas.
    As mentioned I used my containerwise module trays, filled with good compost and sowed all my winter brassicas & coriander for leafy goodness in those cold months. They will hopefully germinate in the greenhouse and will be potted on in the next few months.
    I decided to move the French beans I've grown in 30litre buckets outside to benefit from the goodness of the rain. If the weather gets cooler, I can also move them back into the glass house..

    Supporting you makes me happy, here's my comment and I hope it benefits you well.
    Another winter suggestion: can you explain the best way to watch your videos? You noted something about retention on your videos. How do I avoid lessening the value of my watch time? I prefer to open various UA-cam videos at once and have a line up to watch one after the other, but I feel like opening it another window might hurt your record or opening it and pausing it at any point. I'd love some education on how to support you best.

      Kathy, I wish everyone wanted to learn this ! So thank you! So, to help a channel you love. Each video. Watch from start to finish. If you choose not to skip adverts even better. But i understand. Never fast forward parts as that massively destroys a channel..people dont realise. Rewinding and watching parts helps! This tells youtube you didnt like the video. Commenting straight away after the video and liking it. Sharing the video also helps a channel.
      All these things help so much!
      For example, because I've asked viewers to like and comment this week It's told youtube people have watched and commented. This then makes youtube push your video to new people. Which can then hopefully gain you more subscribers. Which then tells youtube again you are being liked.. it snowballs to being shown to more people and more people.
      It really does help so much.

      No one can accuse you of being a fair-weather gardenerDanny! Good grief! You put me to shame hehe. I have to say the plots look so lush in the wet, but picking anything is the rain is a mission.
      I have a runner beans variety suggestion for you. I changed my red flowered runner beans to Scarlet Empire rather than the classic Scarlet Emperor. They stay tender even when a little bit too big. And don’t go as leathery . Nice tasting bean. I have struggled with my runners this year mainly because the snails have preferred them to the climbing French. I have them in the same bed, the runners are near my neighbours rather overgrown raspberry bed next door and it is full of snails so the runners are getting hit. Still getting some but I have many more French beans at the moment. Hope you get some sunny days to spend with Leo this week.

    I pinched a cutting from my brother’s fig tree in Corfu. Had it for years and this is the first year I’ve had fruit. Albeit just 2 figs!
    So if I get more fruit next year, I will make jam. Maybe a chutney could be good too, as we love cheese 😅

    • @ninazacharia3003
      @ninazacharia3003 29 днів тому

      Encourage your figs to produce earlier crop by pinching out the tips of branches when the figs are pea sized,good pruning is also essential too many branches trying to produce fruit strain the tree we don't have a long enough warm weather to ripen all the figs,unripe figs should all be removed at the end of the season,in warm climate these figlets will mature in to the first fig harvest be it a small one,as most figs produce two harvests a year,but this is England,also as figs don't need pollinators to set fruit, in colder areas if your tree is small enough you can help ripen the fruit by covering the tree with fleece or thermowrap,that's worked for me and it kept the birds of too,hope that's helpful,🥰

    • @TheGrowUpChannel
      @TheGrowUpChannel  Місяць тому +1

      Oh that's some good news!!! My advice would be.. grow them in module trays (if you aren't until they are established and strong plants) and also lime the plant hole (use gloves) before planting and firm them down with your feet. Brassicas hate soft fluffy soil. They will rock and get stressed. Which then makes them go to flower. Also a good veggie mesh to net them from day one. I never risk them. Keeps out all the pests. Hope this helps. I think I'll record a video all about brassicas next year 😊 Danny 🌱
