😂 my one green pepper 🫑 rotted 🤦♀️. Last chance is only if you’re not a gambler 😊 I am doing spinach and may try broad beans again with the hope it doesn’t drip to minus 14c again this winter. Great update Jim and superb harvests, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦 32c
For nitrogen fixing plants, leaves the roots in the ground, otherwise the nitrogen won't be released as much. The nodules need to decompose to get that lovely nitrogen in the soil biology.
Hi James, sorry to sound dumb but when you said about microgreens, especially broccoli, do you use the normal seeds or are they special seeds? Would love to give these a go!
Not at all! Many seed companies such as premier seeds direct, sell bulk amounts of seeds specifically for sowing microgreens as you'd sow them very densely in trays or pots or whatever. They're just standard seeds, so yes you can just sow your usual veggie seeds but that would be more expensive. I wouldn't sow a packet of hybrid broccoli seeds for example, which contain only 20 or so seeds 😂 here's some on premier seeds direct: premierseedsdirect.com/microgreens-seeds/
A parcel of land rented out very cheaply. Usually situated on a site containing other plots, and managed either by the council or self managed by a committee. A British thing
@@downtoearthwithjim I’ve heard of this council housing. Is this comparable to American public housing. Basically what everyone calls the projects here. They don’t have land to rent cheap as an allotment. Some people have a few acres in area that they allow to use as community garden. Not sure how that works of course. I have my own one family home with fenced in backyard so I don’t know details about community garden but have seen them around.
It's a tattoo in memory of my father who passed in 2015. He was a lover of gardening too, hence the rose. Also loved watches, used to fix them up, hence the pocket watch but also the hands point to the date he passed. The lid is opened and has an image of me and him flying a kite
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Glad you found it useful!

How is your spinach and broad beans doing in October Ali?
@@downtoearthwithjim so far so good 🤞, I’m pinching out the broad beans regularly to make them bushy 🙏

That's a great tip, I never pull out bean roots for this reason 😊
Hi, where do you get your wilko seeds from? I haven;t seen any of these since shops shut TY
They sell them in the Range
The range stock wilko stuff, and wilko is back online, dangerous for seeds some are only 50p 😅
Are these all for outdoors or are some only for greenhouse?

What is an allotment

What is your tattoo about? Is it botanical? 😊
