Hi Ben, even seasoned gardeners can get so much from your know how and boundless enthusiasm.
Good one 👍
Thanks Sofia, appreciate that. :-)
I just moved from an apartment garden, to an acre and a half. I'm planting tons! I might not be able to harvest it all, but it will make for good compost and practice, and maybe a chance to have neighbors come pick some stuff.
You'll be the best neighbor!
Your Garden Planner is awesome!
So pleased you're enjoying it! :-)
@GrowVeg I filmed a short a few weeks ago. I'll release it one day and hopefully get more people over to use it. Thank you again.
Made some of these mistakes last year, I was exhausted by July and got my dad to take over the gardening. The year before we had a few small pots on the deck and I loved handling the garden. However this past year I started inside with too many stuff, cucumbers, tomatoes, cauliflower, and flowers from seeds. It was too much, and I put all the seeds in at once. The cauliflower only started to show the white after. We ended up getting a few tomatoes though. I had also just gotten my first job the winter before and spent a bunch of money on planters. This year I’m taking a step back. Flowers, which are less laborious, tomatoes, and probably a few other things. I’m just gonna take my time this year and let my self enjoy it rather than stress myself out.
Definitely worth taking it slow and enjoying it more - smart move. :-)
As I’ve already said, some months ago, I found your channel last year and watched every episode whilst in France caring for my mother. I do remember one of the videos saying that you shouldn’t jump in and try to do too much, too soon……so what did I do? I came back to England, took on a 10 rod allotment, made 20 odd raised beds, sourced woodchip, dug it, bagged it and made paths, sourced well rotted manure, dug it, bagged it and filled the beds, planted them up in autumn last year, covered them and waited. Loads of produce by early spring so took on another 10 rod allotment adjacent and a 5 rod allotment also adjacent! I’m currently potting on like mad to start planting on all over again, although on a much larger scale! Oops, sorry 😀😀
Oh wow Kay - you don't to things by halves! Good on you!
If you're new to gardening, or even experienced, I highly recommend Ben's channel.
Ben paid me to say this 😂
Just pulling your leg, it really is a great channel & community, packed with stacks of great advice.
Cheers Jane! Your cheque is in the post!
@@GrowVeg I'm on a cash only mission 😂 Save your money for more seeds 🤗
Thank You so Much for Sharing This!!❤ I'm Really Enjoying your Videos!!❤
So pleased Andrea. :-)
This has a lot of information for a short.. quick and to the point.
Ben is best. No faffing about, straight in. Some videos spend 2+ minutes telling you about themselves and the history of their plot, etc.
Very nice
always love your tips Ben! ...
Awesome job 😊😊😊😊😊
Good tips. Thanks 😊
Great tips 👌
You have some great tips and have enjoyed your Chanel. Sorry would have to disagree with your thinning of eg carrots. Last year I sowed 2 half barrels with carrots. Equal amount of seed. Thinned one barrel and left the other. Although the thinning made uniform carrots I had a much bigger and better harvest from the non thinning barrel. Also carrot fly was not present in the non thinning barrel. If you don’t mind carrots in all shape and sizes do not thin. Maybe you could try experimenting
Thanks for sharing this experience Matt, that's really interesting to know. I may conduct an experiment myself to try this out. :-)
You rock!!
Thank you. :-)
Wow is a amazing N i have a garden 😊
Great tips thank you very much🙏

Hi Ben can't get my cauliflowers to grow right they grow individually rather than a normal cauliflower .any ideas thanks
Hi John. This could be down to very wet conditions as the plant reaches maturity. More here: gardenerspath.com/plants/vegetables/cauliflower-head-disorders/#:~:text=from%20each%20other.-,Causes,peak%20and%20begin%20to%20separate.
Hi Ben, is mid April/May too late to sow tomato seed?
In my area (south of England) it is a bit late now. I'd look to buy ready-to-go plants instead.
@@GrowVeg would it be too late in Scotland?
Ben, where can I locate the garden app to which you referred? Thx! 🙂
Hi Lisa, the link for the Garden Planner is in the description. Hope that helps : )
@@GrowVeg Thank you, Ben! Love your videos!! ☀️
Jesus loves you
Y'all need to explain what feeding soil is acting like noobs understand what that means lol
Feeding soil just means adding nutrients to it. Basically, adding compost to the soil will really help to feed it (and then the plants you grow in it).
