My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence. For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I'm not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!

Happy New Year🎉Steve, Debbie and family. Thank you for last years wonderful growing guide, tips and info. It’s been a great. Loving all the resources, and definitely recommend your ebook, especially for beginners.

Happy New Year to you and your family, Thanks for all your videos and advice 🙂
Thanks Sheila, it's definitely been a good start to the year .... well except for the power cut on new years eve : All the best - Steve
Good show, cheers Steve
Really helpful material as always - and so generously given. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, thank you for another informative video. All your plants look fantastic…..and tasty.
Everything so clean and tidy, just how I would like my greenhouse.
Thanks Marilyn, I'm very pleased with progress this year, tidy keeps me relaxed and efficient, I don't have much time for gardening, so I'd never cope if I didn't keep things tidy and organised : All the best - Steve
Happy new year Steve. I’m making an effort to do little and often this year. I find it gets overwhelming for me come spring and I am refining more the seeds I’m sowing. I’ve done some salads and onions, chillis and a couple tumbling Tom for baskets as another trial. They did well this year but I crowded them so am doing less and more space this year
If you remember please let me know when you have your first harvest of those tumbling toms, I’m doing mine end of Feb and I’d like to compare the results : all the best - Steve
Will do Steve
Lots to get on with. I might delay my peppers until February now
I have 4 areas for grow lights now so I might start beetroot, pak choi, celery and spinach this week
Lovely selection Lynn : All the best - Steve
Happy New Year 🎉✨
Happy new year 🎉 great video lots to be getting on with
Thanks Mark, yes, I'm really excited for 2024! : All the best - Steve
@@SteveRichards good, with the greenhouse that will Help u loads as well
Happy New Year Steve and family. I’m not sowing much yet as I don’t use a grow light system by choice. Here’s to an amazing growing season, Ali 🇨🇦
Each year I grow with less land and less time, so grow lights make that possible and of course they brighten up my life no end. Why don’t choose not to use them yourself Ali? : all the best - Steve
@@SteveRichards space mostly but we’ll look into it again perhaps 👍
Try the top of a wardrobe, that’s my best space
Hi Steve, another great video, the greenhouse is fab, in the video you show some peppers in the greenhouse, is that where they will stay permanently, if they are will they get leggy, Gwen
Hi Gwen, no, I did mention in the video that I’d just brought them into the greenhouse for the video. They are back in the warm and under grow lights now : all the best - Steve
Look forward to new sowing for 2024. Steve what size pot is it you use to pot on please
11cm usually, but it depends on the time of year.
Hi Steve ive got one of those growlights that your using in the greenhouse.Could you tell me which ones you now use indoors instead?
thanks in advance mate
These are my oldest lights, about 6 years old and they've been upgraded a few times since I got them, the light balance is a bit off for use indoors now, but I'm only using them for a few hours early morning and evening and the rest of the time the plants get natural light, so they work fine in the greenhouse. Anyway the lights I'm using now are www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TTHFSKT?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzsteveric-21&creativeASIN=B07TTHFSKT&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3RSK31S3IHCFT&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin&th=1
I want to grow some Oregon sugar pods early but I don't have a green house or polytunnel. I plan to sow and keep them on my bedroom window. What would be a good time to sow given they will have to eventually go outside?
If you can give them some protection with fleece then you could sow them in mid-February, cover them with fleece until late March, then it would all depend on the weather, peas hate high winds on cold days. Anyway you could tie them up, and if its's windy wrap the same fleece around the support posts to give them some protection. If you don't want to bother with fleece, I'd probably wait until mid-March, but they'd still benefit from fleece for a few weeks after planting : All the best - Steve
@@SteveRichards Thanks.
What seed brands do you buy and where from?
Hi Simon, If you take a look in the description of this video and open the database link you should see each seed supplier listed for most things in this guide
