Hello everyone. I hope you enjoyed this video. I have linked numerous videos in the description box. Here is another video you may find useful. How to grow GREAT Runner beans! ua-cam.com/video/RItSHnipZi0/v-deo.html
Thanks for the tour, I liked the music - very relaxing. You do everything in such a casual manner - you didn't seem to firm down the top layer of compost, you just let the water flatten it down a bit. But maybe with tiny seeds that is a good technique, so the soil is not too compressed and seedlings can push through better? Anyway this no fuss method seems to work well for you. Feels autumnal here today. Glad we don't have the furnace conditions of Greece, but a little sun would be nice.
True that Tracy. I'm pretty casual about the garden really, a lot of it I think is because when I started gardening I was working long hours etc so didn't allow the time for much detail. The methods then stuck lol!
Growing peppers,blueberries,tomatoes,strawberries,courgette,raspberries,potatoes,broccoli,carrots and runner beans here in Newcastle uk. Looking to get into growing some tropical fruits next year. Hope you are doing well Dan
@@homegardens7682 it's something I regularly purchase from the supermarket. Generally the calvero nero variety. Don't have any mesh as yet but certainly have enough room for the growing.
@@markvincent5241 Great, You could put some in now but its unlikely you will get a great crop this year. Would be ready in though for an early Spring crop though when it warms up. Will bolt shortly after though.
@@markvincent5241 Indeed. I use gluten free products as due to having abused my body with training when I was younger and years of manual work have left me riddled with aches and pains. I have a lot of inflammation in my my body. Brown rice is great as a cheaper carb.
Good show, cheers Dan, Over here in the UK E.Mids 8b I'm still sowing lettuce every 2 weeks, spring onions, last week sowed pal-choi, chinese cabbage, Savoy Cabbage, and I'll do Spring cabbage next week
Howdy Dan! Zone 8a, Central Texas. We are doing our second planting of squash, winter squash, melons, tomatoes, peppers, okra, corn, cowpeas, and a few other crops. Our growing season is 173 days. This week I'll start broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage. We grow these crops in the fall. It's still too hot for spinach, peas, and lettuce. We will still hit temps of 100 through the month of August. That is a of yumminess you sowed seeds for. 😋 Your garden is beautiful! I love seeing all that delish fruit!👍
Cowpeas, oh yes, I think they are also known as Yardlong beans? I tried to grow them here one year, not successful. I Might try again next year. Those second plantings sound great. Glad you like the garden Valorie. Its getting very productive.
@homegardens7682 Dan, your garden is beautiful. 👍 Cowpeas are different from yard long beans...I'm growing those too - Asparagus green beans. The black-eyed pea is a type of cowpea. It like hot dry weather. I'm growing Purple Hull Pink-eyed cowpeas this time.
Yes, tap water contains chlorine, so no fungi or algae, whereas waterbutts often contain both. So tap water more 'sterile' protects the seeds as they germinate. Once bigger and transplanted rain water is preferred by many, particularly those with hard tap water which can eventually change the pH of the soil enough to affect ericaceous plants in particular. Best wishes
Everything looks good enough to eat! Here in North Dakota the weather is a roller coaster ride. The nice balance of rains seems to be over; we are now having a run of high 80s and 90s for a while, your cool weather sounds good to me. I've learned to keep our heavy clay as wet as possible when this happens, or you end up with hard as cement soil. Of course, heavy mulching is mandatory, endless additions of organic matter. Yes, with frost in September fall crops need to get started here.
Certainly harsh weather conditions there, very cold to very hot. Early frosts as well. Oh yes, the mulching will help massively. I can imagine the hard dry soil. It goes like that at certain times here but not too bad in this area as the soil is light. A few miles down the road where its yellow clay it can go incredibly hard.
Definitely starting off brassicas and some softer herbs like coriander etc in the next week or so. Asian greens as well. Honestly we seem to have gone off lettuce ... so just buying what we need when we need it and really only growing what is worthwhile for eating. Spinach and chard/silverbeet is going in. I'm in York in the UK and I think our growing zone is basically 8.
@@homegardens7682 oh I meant to say I’m putting in more beetroot and turnips too and daikon radish cos YUM!!! And they’ll help with the major compaction we have in the soil under the beds in the front too.
That's interesting to know about seed sowing in the Lidl peat free, I just started the switch to peat free and the texture on one I picked up did make me worry about the seed sowing it was very course! Oh wow I never knew the difference between spinach and perpetual! Great video I have a few of these seeds like the winter density and Asian greens, looking forward to getting them started!! 🙌🌱
Yes, it is course, has twigs and stuff in it! It seemed to work though, I wouldn't say overall its as good but it was good enough. Good price as well. Yes, the difference between chard and spinach is good to know as they have different flavours in my opinion.
@@homegardens7682 I am just outside chelm - Could do with a bit less rain atm tbh lol loving the vids man, new subscriber - a big fan of how you put it together! Thanks, I know it takes a fair bit of effort.

Why don't you just list the plants? Some of us haven't got the patience to sit through 18 minutes.
@@smiith7996why don't you do a Google search instead.
Nice one Dan.
Thanks Patrick.
hopefully it will warm up again
Hopefully. We shall see.

i love the purple mustards
Lovely they are for that nice peppery addition.
Zone 4, Northern Wisconsin. I think I will attempt a fall planting, you are inspiring me.
Great stuff. Go for it.
I've grown a type of mizuna in the spring before, it did really well and though I can't remember the taste I know that it was very nice.
yes, a Spring crop of Mizuna can work. Its a lovely taste, very mice in a salad etc.
What variety are those lovely squash plants taking over in the background?
That is Victor Winter Squash. I made this video on squash a while ago. ua-cam.com/video/rkZFH9hxBSo/v-deo.html
Great vid.
Cheers!

Great crops there. I'm OK thanks. You know how it goes, working and paying the bills etc.
Awesome Dan, the cabbages and Kale are looking fantastic. Love to give kale a go.
Kale is great to grow. Relatively easy just protect from the butterflies with tight net/mesh. Very good for you.

A great way to grow lettuce to avoid too many at one time. Great crops you have sowed there.

I've had good harvest from a late sowing of dwarf french beans for the greenhouse
Oh yes. They can be great for late sowings as they crop so quick. I should have put some in really.

Very true. Next year I am tempted to do a comparison video on seed germination using tap and rainwater. Would be an interesting study I think.
@homegardens7682 yes, that would be good
Stand the tap water 24 hours will take the chloride out

Indee! One can have enough of lettuce. I did that a few years ago, planted so many. I try and have a few ready these days.

Hi Dan... I understand you are in chelmsford and are in 8b, i am very near by and in 9a - I am guessing i am incorrect? Sorry for the newbie question!
Not far from there!
