I can’t imagine anyone is doing any better in the UK as the weather has completely trashed most crops. I’m concentrating now on getting my new pallet collar beds full and all ready for starting next years crops. I’ve decided this is my weeding year and maintenance year as I’m certainly not growing much.
@@Tea_and_thyme_2012 Hi Deb. I know everyone is struggling but that doesn’t make it feel like a waste of efforts, especially compared to last year. I’m making efforts to add more matter to the beds as I rotate crops. Also using this year to use up old packets of seed to keep the beds filled and hopefully get some extra, later, harvests. Without the overhang of old packets of seeds I can then do a proper plan of things to keep growing. One day the rain will stop 🌧️🤞🌸
@@diyhomeandgardening are you sowing the seeds first in cells or just putting them directly into the ground? I’ve got so many seeds I need to sort but they’re mainly flower seeds from when I first started so are probably not viable.
@@Tea_and_thyme_2012 mainly vegetables that I’m sowing directly. I have been sowing some flower seed too but into cell trays. I started the year by giving away a load of unwanted as don’t really need everything I have acquired. I think as gardeners we end up trying to collect ranges rather than staying focused on what we need to grow. Social media doesn’t help either 🤣🌸
pulled some primor,messidor,germidor and german red rocambole today, yust to check, lets yust say, i hope they grow a couple of weeks more...:)dont think i have rust yet but i have sprayed them twice with copper sulfat. first wen the temp reach 10 c on average, and then after the hail, it was more like a prevention, didnt see any sign of rust on my garlic. but one patch of broadbeans i forgot to spray after the hail, are starting to get rust
@@janericvelure6883 Hi and thanks, as always, for watching the video. That’s good that your garlic are still looking to be free of rust. My advice is to leave them as long as possible before having to lift, to give you the biggest bulbs. Hope you get a great crop. 🧄🪴
