Hi Danny, yes the garlic is in the ground for a long time but it can be interplanted with lettuce, radish etc, so the ground isn't 'wasted ' as some folk think. Nothing like the joy and excitement of harvesting your home grown garlic, except maybe potatoes. lol! Your plans are so exciting. I have had my plot just year and it is laid out how i want it for easy maintenance, and I feel that I am now organised. So much so that I have just taken on a 2nd plot, which is so overgrown, like my first plot was. It is so exciting getting it ready and making plans for it. I have cut all the weeds and grass down ready to start making beds for no dig growing. My idea is to keep plot 1 for all my veggies and plot 2 will become my fruit and flower patch. It's all so much fun, isn't it. Happy growing 🙂
Another great video Danny as usual have not put my garlic in yet, but will be soon I have saved a few bulbs from last year to plant. Thank you for your time Val.
Hi Danny, no im not planting sets, first time i didnt last year too. I grew from seed & best decision I made, my onions where massive, one onion weighed 1lb 2oz! Lots of planting done in uout beds today and looking forward to seeing what you do next. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
This is my last chance with over wintering onions sets haha if it doesn't work out, I'll be scrapping it and doing just onion seedlings. Thanks christine 😊🌱
Doesn’t the plot look so different with a fresh top up of bark. It’s on my todo list for over winter too. What a huge pile too.. you weren’t kidding when you said you get a lot delivered I’m all for the floating shelf, for the same reason as you. Was really useful for me late spring/early summer. The plans for the back of the plot sound good. I’m moving my bins away from the tunnel mind you, atticus ratticus needs to move out 😂🤪 Good to see all the garlic and onions in. Lovely knowing we’ve crops in for winter Catch looks good too. Thank you for sending me some. I’ll get Duncan on the case this week. 😊
Bark makes such a difference doesnt it. So many plans for us both clare. You're welcome! The locked fruitcage was an issue for us both. Glad to help! Danny 🌱
Yup, still very envious of that free wood chip!! All this garlic and onion planting is really making me hopeful and excited for next Spring - totally agree that this feels like the start of the new gardening year 🌿
Nice that you got all that bark 👍 The brassicas are looking great 🌱 Good that you showed the construction side as well 😂 then I don't have to feel so embarrassed about mine 🤣 It's always good to have a vision how it's going to look 🌝
Very lucky to get all that bark. Of course. No garden is perfect and mine is far from, at the moment. I like to show it in its worst too, makes me and viewers appreciate it once it's looking lovely 😊🌱
Love home grown garlic. We cleared our garlic and garlic bed yesterday but didn't get around to planting the cloves and bulbs. A job for this week. The garlic video is also really helpful!
Love that you open the poly tunnel doors and the daddy long legs just make their way out 😂😂 all is looking good Danny. Look forward to seeing what happens to last yrs non splitting garlic. I’ve sowed mine in single pots to give them a chance this yrs cos mine are always a poor show. X
Fab update Danny ❤ Your second plot with polytunnel is starting to look fabulous now especially with the bark on the pathways in between. You'll soon have the other side looking great too, it's all work in progress. Your fuit cage is a wonderful addition too. The new locking system will be very useful and much better than the velcro. Nice to see you at the Feel Good Garden café today 😂
Be careful with flies on the roof of the poly, I have seen birds stand on the outside pecking to be to the bugs 😢. High winds and pouring rain here today Monday so the last of the bulbs will have to wait 🤦♀️ again. And she wears plaid shirts 😂😂 I have watched Bethan for years so is amazing as are all those fantastic UK gang. Have a super day everyone, ali ☔️☔️🥶🇨🇦
@ Dean at deans lost the plot had bird holes in his poly because they were standing on top pecking to get the flies but fingers crossed 🤞 for you they are not a common occurrence 🥰
I've tried to clean up my garden several times, however there are still bees on the flowers looking for food, so I've left things alone and let them eat. I also picked some lettuce and cherry tomatoes this morning for my lunch salad and okra yesterday. We're more like early fall here, which is totally unusual for here now. I'll just enjoy things as I can and do what I can - later on. Mainly just a chop & drop once in a while. I did harvest my sweet potatoes and have them curing. It seems like there's as much or more work at the end of the garden season as there is at the beginning. Hope you have a wonderful garlic harvest next year! Love the plans you have and looking forward to seeing your progress.
Oh wow! That's exactly what I've done on the Fig and olive plot. The dahlias are still blooming. So I've left them all until the very last. Thank you very much! So much to do, but I always enjoy it 😊🌱
Hi Danny, just a thought about your fruit cage...... would it benefit you to have a floating shelf in there to harden off plants that might get attacked by butterflies or slugs/snails? I'm loving how the Autumn wakes up our plotting and planning senses. The weather is good enough to spend time outside, and the planting, weeding and harvesting side of things has slowed considerably, so 'the other jobs' can now be enjoyed. Your brassicas are looking so good. Did you know that brassica envy is a thing? Well, it is now!!! 😝 Have a great week ahead xx
That's worth some consideration Jean. The meeting isn't butterflyproof however would stop pigeons etc! I could fit a net over it though! Thanks for the suggestion. Brassica envy 😂😂😂 I've always been so lucky with brassicas! Haha
Thanks for the mention Danny, I really appreciate it. We had a fab afternoon with you and Linda 😍 Your plot is looking great and it's always reassuring to get some crops in the ground isn't it. Look forward to seeing how the mono elephant bulbs do. Take care 😊
All looking good Danny. We have free bark on our site too and it's such great thing to have. Makes such a difference having a bit of fresh bark laid down. The new plot is really coming together now. What a great idea to fill up your beds using your compost material; I didn't get a harvest of the elephant garlic as it rotted in the floods last year so will be doing that myself again this year. Some other great choices of garlic though there. Nice update
Hey Jenny!!! Thanks for stopping by! I'm hoping the mono-bulbs give me bigger bulbs in summer. Fingers crossed! Aww why thank you.. it's a working progress ❤️
Fruit cage looking good Danny. Hopefully the garlic and onions will do well. I’m hoping to plant some more out next week and I’m doing the giant onion growing challenge, so that’ll be interesting.
All looking great, Danny 👍 I am trying my garlic planted in between my strawberries this year. I made a new strawberry bed from all my runners and have dotted the garlic in between each one. Hopefully, it all works out 🤞
Ooh I did this 2 years ago, worked out okay! Mine was shaded too much from the Grapevine, nothing to do with the strawberries though. Goodluck! Let me know how you get on 😊
Hi Danny, good to see that lovely smile of yours. Im afraid to put garlic in yet its been so wet all through October and now november so mine are going to be late going in. Thats Ireland weather although the worst weather this year tfs sylvi🎉🎉🎉
Danny, that shed you already have needs renovating. 🤪🤔 j/k I'm looking forward to seeing what you put up there, hopefully before spring, otherwise I'll miss. The new tunnel is your new playground for making green stuff (growing, that is). Spacing may be a bit hard with the fruit cage, but if the soil is good, lots of fruits. Yeah, I'm 🇨🇦 bound to be a bit of a teaser. 👍😂
Hi Danny great video of your garlic I planted my garlic and elephant garlic on the 7th of October most of my garlic is well up and the elephant garlic is now showing they are all planted in tubs Your plot is looking great 👍🥔🌱
That poly is so spacious! I do not have great luck with brassicas 😂 Nice to see a good dumpy area 😜 - although I'm sure it'll be whipped into shape in no time at all. I'm also going hard with the garlic this year, esp the elephant. I've got a couple of mono bulbs to try out too. Nice to see some sunshine! (Oops posted to wrong video)
The polytunnel is perfect! I can't wait to have it full of plants in spring haha! We all have messy parts for winter projects, I'm sure. Hopefully sort that this week 🤞I'm hoping the monobulbs will give me a good garlic in June! Thanks kerry 😀
Bark in the park by the car park 😂 I just planted garlic yesterday 🎉🎉. It’s raining, nothing like a rainy Sunday and a fall back of time change to make a person lazy. We chopped up a bunch of produce and pot roast-smells like home. Listening to classical music and catching some lives and was happy to see you posted! Wow, those garlic from Malvern are Huge! Are they regular garlic? I’ve seen that tool with switchable heads-nice space saver. Two things I’ve never had are voles and root knot nematodes-I now have both😭. I read the latter like sandy soils and cultivation helps prevent them-makes sense because I didn’t till last year and some carrots have nodules. They say mustard, soil solarization and marigolds help. I had a load of volunteer marigolds but not by carrots-🧐 hmm. Afraid to plant anymore spring bulbs until we get rid of voles. Another enjoyable vid, thx!
Haha I watched that back and realised I was rhyming lol! Yes I did the same today. I harvested some veg and did a beef in red wine casserole with a cheesy mustard mash. Beautiful! Yes it's normal garlic haha! Malvern always have a good show of decent garlic to choose from. Glad you enjoyed the live too! Oh no. Hope you sort uour gardening problems out. It's all sent to test us, isn't it haha ps I think sprinking chilli powder down the hole with the bulb helps (apparently)
Hello Danny. Just watching Monday late afternoon a warming day here with some clouds hovering. Taking a break from trying to make wrap around labels for my soap products, doing my head in. Gardening is a little easier Looking at you planting garlic why not put the cloves on top of soil spaced out then dig in, no mistakes re spacing then. Can I say I do like that strip tshirt love the colour well when you started that is…..hot work gardening even in autumn. Despite the rain we have had finding my-raised beds soil is drying out super fast so good water this am. Must look more into a drip water system before next year. Anyway all best Danny.
I did do that haha, but did that after I stopped filming. Didn't want to bore you all, watching me place out my garlic haha I have no chance of soil running out of water here haha
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with those mono-cloves. I've seen them on other channels but they eat them instead of planting. I've always wondered how they would do.
You’re lucky,they will take out my entire garden including fruit trees in one night. I just had a buck make a 12x3 in gauge in my newly planted weeping Willow with his antlers. I hope it survives! 🤞
From yours and another video or two I gather in the U.K. Daddy Long Legs are some form of flying insect? In Australia they are spiders, funnily enough with very long legs. I might actually get my first bulbed onion this year (I say that because I've had some before that didn't manage to bulb up)... I spotted it while looking over the patch yesterday... quite exciting.
Hi Danny I planted my garlic couple weeks ago my home saved cloves normal and elephant. I grow them in same beds every year and they do very well. We have to get our trailer load about a ton of municipal compost to be delivered in next 2-3 weeks then we can prepare the beds for winter. We hardly net anything now we used to but found it stopped the balance of insects. We have had a few onions go to seed but I think it’s to do with weather. We can’t control that can we. I think it’s exciting not knowing what’s gonna do well or not bit of pot luck hay. I missed why you have got a fruit cage Danny but I guessing it’s to do with birds is it? We had an amazing bumper crop of autumn raspberries they still producing keep going on and on always giving. We do nothing with them apart from cut them down to ground autumn/ winter and mulch and that’s it. The currants and gooseberry do well too and they are very old plants now. I expect one year they will come to the end of their life. We don’t really have bird problems so they not covered either. But the badger and the foxes under our shed. Mr badger ate our sweetcorn 😣Anyway see you next time👋🏻
Hey! Oh that's good, you don't need to net anything. I think it's more a precaution here. Especially from allium leaf miner in spring. The fruit cage is to stop the birds and squirrels from having first dibs on the fruit in summer. That's annoying you kist your corn! Maybe next year! Danny 🌱🧄
@@TheGrowUpChannel I have enviro net on my Garlic with some leaves to keep them snug but I'd like to adopt a similar system to Steve Richards sea side kitchen garden and Make a low tunnel to fit my 8x4 beds and They'd extend the growing season and also Cover the onions and garlic a month before lifting to help speed up the drying process as Many of my onions rotted and some had Allium white rot.
It’s all coming together Danny, just one question, are you really tall or is that Polly tunnel door quite low? I’ve got a first tunnels tunnel and can walk in easily, although mine is slightly bigger at 14x30. Just wondering if the smaller tunnels have shorter doors.
Thanks Peter. I'm 6ft tall, believe it or not. People think I'm little haa! However the path outside is raised up from the door, so that also makes me closer to the door top. Danny
@ Thanks for the reply Danny, it’s a credit to you that you take the time to answer everyone’s questions, it’s much appreciated by all I’m sure. Take care, Pete.
Thank you Pete. Means a lot. I spend hours replying every week haha. But I like the interaction and I appreciate the comments. Helps the video too. So I appreciate you all too 😊🌱
Hey Duncan. I've a few brands on the plot. Vegega (the cream ones all over the Fig and olive plot) the sage colour ones are Birdies and I have VidaXL ones (cream - front of the new plot ) and the small round dark sage ones are outsunny. Hope this helps :)
Hey Danny what is the lifespam of a polly tunnel like yours? Cuz i would like one but it can only be in a shady space in spring, sunny in summer and shady again in fall
Hello! I think the covers they average 5-10 years but I know someone who has a first tunnels covers on for 16 years and still going strong. The metal frame , timeless. Timber frames they average 5 - 10 years too. Some maintenance will need to he done but tbh after 5 years I'll probably have a new cover due to UV rays. 😀
Watch out for leatherjackets then if you have the adults! I un-subbed from Bethan @bethanskitchengarden and re-subbed just so I could say you sent me LOL

So glad to hear that you are planning a seating area. Everyone needs a place to rest, recharge, and survey your hard work!!
It's of high priority this time round. I've been saying I need one? Ever since I've had a plot and never got round to it. Thanks Sylvie 😊🌱

I've decided to rivet it on. It works a treat though !
I feel like you should have emerged in slow motion from the poly tunnel with your onions and music playing!
Oh why? Haha
Such a momentous occasion with the new tunnel. Maybe a ribbon cutting ceremony. Lol!

I might actually get my first bulbed onion this year (I say that because I've had some before that didn't manage to bulb up)... I spotted it while looking over the patch yesterday... quite exciting.
I think you call them cellar spiders? But they fly.
Oh that's great! Hopefully you get some onions! It really is the little things in life ❤️
Hi Danny I planted my garlic couple weeks ago my home saved cloves normal and elephant. I grow them in same beds every year and they do very well. We have to get our trailer load about a ton of municipal compost to be delivered in next 2-3 weeks then we can prepare the beds for winter. We hardly net anything now we used to but found it stopped the balance of insects. We have had a few onions go to seed but I think it’s to do with weather. We can’t control that can we. I think it’s exciting not knowing what’s gonna do well or not bit of pot luck hay. I missed why you have got a fruit cage Danny but I guessing it’s to do with birds is it? We had an amazing bumper crop of autumn raspberries they still producing keep going on and on always giving. We do nothing with them apart from cut them down to ground autumn/ winter and mulch and that’s it. The currants and gooseberry do well too and they are very old plants now. I expect one year they will come to the end of their life. We don’t really have bird problems so they not covered either. But the badger and the foxes under our shed. Mr badger ate our sweetcorn 😣Anyway see you next time👋🏻
Hey! Oh that's good, you don't need to net anything. I think it's more a precaution here. Especially from allium leaf miner in spring. The fruit cage is to stop the birds and squirrels from having first dibs on the fruit in summer. That's annoying you kist your corn! Maybe next year! Danny 🌱🧄

I put my garlic in my 2ft high beds due to thewet winter last year a lot of my garlic rotted away.
Oh no way!!! Maybe when you know a lot of rains coming. Cloche or cover with plastic
@@TheGrowUpChannel I have enviro net on my Garlic with some leaves to keep them snug but I'd like to adopt a similar system to Steve Richards sea side kitchen garden and
Make a low tunnel to fit my 8x4 beds and
They'd extend the growing season and also
Cover the onions and garlic a month before lifting to help speed up the drying process as
Many of my onions rotted and some had
Allium white rot.
Hi Danny, you have been working hard. did you just do two takes at the end when pointing to the videos?
What do you mean ady?
It’s all coming together Danny, just one question, are you really tall or is that Polly tunnel door quite low? I’ve got a first tunnels tunnel and can walk in easily, although mine is slightly bigger at 14x30. Just wondering if the smaller tunnels have shorter doors.
Thanks Peter. I'm 6ft tall, believe it or not. People think I'm little haa! However the path outside is raised up from the door, so that also makes me closer to the door top. Danny
@ Thanks for the reply Danny, it’s a credit to you that you take the time to answer everyone’s questions, it’s much appreciated by all I’m sure.
Take care, Pete.
Thank you Pete. Means a lot. I spend hours replying every week haha. But I like the interaction and I appreciate the comments. Helps the video too. So I appreciate you all too 😊🌱
Where do you get the corrugated raised beds. TIA
Hey Duncan. I've a few brands on the plot. Vegega (the cream ones all over the Fig and olive plot) the sage colour ones are Birdies and I have VidaXL ones (cream - front of the new plot ) and the small round dark sage ones are outsunny.
Hope this helps :)
Hey Danny what is the lifespam of a polly tunnel like yours? Cuz i would like one but it can only be in a shady space in spring, sunny in summer and shady again in fall
Hello! I think the covers they average 5-10 years but I know someone who has a first tunnels covers on for 16 years and still going strong. The metal frame , timeless. Timber frames they average 5 - 10 years too. Some maintenance will need to he done but tbh after 5 years I'll probably have a new cover due to UV rays. 😀
@TheGrowUpChannel wow thats very long! Thankyou for the info! Have a nice evening! 😊
You're welcome 😊 have a nice evening too 😊
Hi what's the compost you use that's in those yellow bags please?
Hey clive. Q4 multipurpose compost. Black gold!
I gave up sowing onion sets, they seem to go to seed every year regardless of weather.
This is my last attempt George... and I mean it this time! Haha

Watch out for leatherjackets then if you have the adults!

@TheGrowUpChannel Not that I have one but they can really ruin a lawn. Root munching little -barstewards- so and sos!
Hi Danny I’m just moving along with you great job.❤❤
