It sounds so cosy hearing the rain from inside your caravan. 😊
Yes it can be Thank you
Its been so cold in kent noe we got heavy showers, saw a video allotment gardener who is experiencing problems with not growing or fruiting. He put cloches, and plastic domes on his veg they started to grow again he also said they protect against chem rain.
Yes sure has been a bad year so far
That constant cold wind coming across my small garden from the west (even on bright days) has devastated my veggies and flowers. They are just not growing!!!! One minute it is cloudy and cold - say 13 degrees and then full sun up to 23 degrees. My plants are suffering badly 😢😢😢
Bad year Tanya i hope it gets better
Geo engineering is a fact. It couldn't be more obvious! I have had to nurture all my seedlings and plants. Slugs and snails are a nightmare! Your garden looks great Ivan despite the awful weather.
Thank you
Geo engineering! Thanks for the video Ivan.
Government have issued more contracts to be tendered for to geo-engineer the weather - those who think this weather is all nothing normal .. Type in to your search engine --- The UK Government's View on Greenhouse Gas Removal Technologies and Solar Radiation Management - GOV.UK
Thank you
I thought strawberries didnt ripen off the plant, like tomatoes do. This is great to know, Ivan, as i lose quite a few to slugs once ripe, despite putting strulch under my plants. Its just so wet with all this rain. I'll pick them before the slugs get to them and ripen them on a tray in the polytunnel or a windowsill. Thanks!
Yes we do it all the time Thank you
Thanks for the encouragement Ivan, as a first time grower I'm pleased with the 1lb Rocket potatoes I took out the other day, gave me hope there's more in the other pots. Like everyone else will have to wait and see about the other things I'm trying in containers.
Great stuff Thank you Anne
@@annegraham1891 Don't be too disheartened - most years are better and easier than this year!
I never thought I’d be the type of person to care so much about plants that I’d run out into a rain storm to put them away into the greenhouse 😅
Me too, I'm a total beginner... It's such a minefield of information.... I love this channel though, what a great guy Ivan is 👍🏼
Thank you much appreciated
Haha we all do it Thank you Kirsty
@@sco467 Don't get too disheartened - most years are much nbetter and easier than this one!
Thanks
Thank you very kind of you
Rain, rain and rain for us for next few days. Thanks thanks for sharing Ivan.
Thank you
Yep, I reckon I'd be saving about fourpence on lettuces and spending forty quid drying out any clothes I use for gardening. So I'm stopping indoors and letting my garden (mostly in pots) go wild. Not that I've seen any butterflies to make use of it. Ho hum. Here's to planning for next year. 🌞 🌧🌞🌪
Thank you Margaret
Very very strange year heat we are getting and some scatter showers sometimes, hurricane, tropical storms but I’m catching my rain water, take care of yourself and the garden it’s beautiful.
Thank you much appreciated
Weather is much the same here in Brittany Ivan. Wind nearly every day but not so much rain but not warm either. Everything in garden is all behind. Thanks for the videos. We can see that we are not alone with this weather.
Thank you too Mick
Rain here too, its amazing what you have achieved around the van, its aesthetically improving the site too! I too have to garden in containers and raised beds, all on concrete, and have some amazing results, my best result to date was overwintering broccoli, I had huge crops in less than 9" of soil. Best of luck for the season!
Thank you much appreciated
Awful weather in Sussex Ivan, you are doing well and you are very encouraging.Its my first year as an allotmenters and all the old guys says it’s the worst year they have ever 😢had. .
Thank you Anne much appreciated
Thanks Ivan, it rained here at lunch time then it's been glorious since, if the weather people have got it right (for a change) it's supposed to be sunny here tomorrow so I can get some gardening done. Have a great week. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Fingers crossed Thank you Stevie
Well done you ! Just shows you don't need a big space to grow stuff. Ive had to downsize my growing space due to knee problems. Have had my veg plot covered with stones and bought big pots to put on stones grow stuff . Much easier and not so much weeding ! You do what suits you . Keep on keeping on and good luck ! ☺️
Thank you Christine much appreciated
Have you had a garden before ? You seem to know what you're doing 😂 lovely to see flowers as well as veg ☺️
We're having the usual "all four seasons in one day" here. My grasses and ferns are thriving, my tomatoes haven't even produced a flower.
Crazy days for sure
Thank you Diana
It's been awful hasn't it guys, my seed grown flowers are so slow to bloom and my poor tomatoes outside are struggling but greenhouse ones are flourishing . Time seems to be flying by and I hate the colder months .... Rant over. Fingers crossed sun will appear soon 🌞🤞
Thank you Deb
Ha yeah, no summer at all. Had to turn the heating on couple days back. Nice video
Same here
Thank you
I also picked one ripe cherry tomato today....
Thank you Allen
Ivan I'm bloody fed up with it, i thought last year was bad but come on it's July for goodness sake, some of my plants are struggling. Their slow this year & i feel like I'm so behind but I'm not it's the daft weather. Having said that i had my first harvest of new potatoes today, 3.45lb, I'm happy with that. Apparently we've got rain all day Tuesday 😕 Have a nice day out tomorrow....
It is a terrible year lets hope mid July sees an improvement
Thank you Carol
Not felt great, think its covid but planted my rooster spuds.hope they grow. Yes been awfull here in Lancashire.xx
hope u feel better soon & its not covid. im sure l had covid in April as symptoms same as had 2 yrs ago :( iv had bad sinus problems ever since; Sinus so painful & l havent been able to taste or smell food since April except when l take l tablet a day of ginko biloba. its not curing the sinus but its helping givng me some relief.
@katielee9354 you too got evey symptom of it,was totally out of it from early hours sat and in bed and on Sunday till later on.my old man's a taxi driver and gives me many gifts of viruses as picks up all sorts of people from all over x
Thank you
Thank you
Hope you feel better soon Tracy
It was really wet last summer but I don't think it was as cold and windy as it has been this year. I have an allotment and we've got some new plot holders and I can understand them feeling a bit hacked off at the moment.
Me too lets hope it gets better
ah you must have got the rain we got last night, sounded crazy.. also seasons? what is a season anymore? I feel like we have no seasons anymore but the same thing everyday with the odd sunny spell later on in the day, seems the weather is just melding into one these days.... but hey ho chin up and hopefully we keep getting some harvests.
Been a rough year so far
Thank you
another terrible weekend in chorley, no good for the depression.its like a life in darkness . temps are like september at night
Same here in Hampshire. This is NOT summer! It's my first year growing properly in a green house, I have harvested 1 mini munch cucumber (others are on the way but not ripening due to total white out, rain and lack of blue sky and low temps. Trying to remain upbeat and not let it get me down.
Same here in Leyland. Nothing moving anywhere fast. If this keeps up I think I'll call it quits and mulch the entire plot in horse poo and have some time off until the spring (ha ha).
Thank you
Thank you
Bad year so far lets hope for better
Ivan you are not wrong today 8th rain wind and very chilly more like October, however some things have done well this year in Cornwall in spite of the terrible weather, I have had the biggest strawberries lots of them and my leeks are looking great, I have masses of lettuce however it’s been to cold for me to want to at lettuce so I’ve sown more in case we get some hot weather later on , like you say take what you can and hope it does improve, I’ve just had to rescue a tomato plant that had blown over😂❤️
Thank you Lynda much appreciated
Feel your pain. Here on north east coast it’s always a challenge but this year with rain, cold temps and relentless NE and N winds just want to stop and start again next year👎
It will soon get better Thank you Andrea
Ivan it would be interesting to hear you and your viewers thoughts about bee decline this year? In our village we have noted a big decline in our gardens.
I’ve barely seen any, the same with butterflies 🙁
Hi Bessie. I think it may be to do with the geo engineering. I have not seen a single bee or butterfly in my garden. @Bessie66
not seen many myself this year yet despite all the inviting flowers I have grown but lots of those asian lady birds on my broad beans that were covered in black fly for a while
Yes, my wife commented yesterday how few pollinators we've seen this miserable year - not just bees and butterflies, but hoverflies as well. 😮
I’m in the states, but honeybees have been swarming my corn tassels this year. I never realized corn was such an attraction for bees. Could be all your bees are in my corn patch 😊
I got an overgrown allotment at the end of April so not much chance to get a lot of plants going but was excited to get three rows of runners going but man, they are going nowhere. I think I'll have to put another shilling in the sun meter (ha ha). All the best mate.
Haha know what you mean Thank you Stephen
Put wind breakers around your van
Thank you good idea
This is my first year on my allotment and I’m so sick of this weather nothing is striving I had such big hopes but there slowly dwindling 😢
Fingers crossed for better weather soon Thank you Lesley
It’s horrendous isn’t it! Seems like this rain is in for the week but looks like the week after it might be starting to improve again 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Fingers crossed
Thank you Nicki
My broad beans are cropping really well, even though they're being blown every which way, and so are my peas. Not even any blackfly on the broad beans (I think they'd get blown off anyway!) but I'll grow dwarf ones next year, the aquadulce are like a 6ft jungle to fight through to pick!
I've already had some nice spuds (Charlotte) from two pots; from one spud in one pot I get about three or four meal's worth of potatoes if I'm not greedy, two or three if I am!
French and runner beans are really struggling badly and Little Gem squash is NOT HAPPY.
Rhubarb looks great, but it's its first year, planted from a wee bit of semi- mouldy root which I nursed back to life in the new year, so I won't harvest anything from it this year. Onions have hardly grown at all after a decent start under a cheap plastic cloche from Aldi.
I have carrots in a deep trough, raised up (hopefully) above carrot fly level. They were VERY slow to get going, even though I planted pre-germinated seed, but I had a dig around with my fingers and the roots seem to be plumping up nicely.
I've kept as many of my tomatoes as possible indoors and quite a few have set fruit already; none of the outdoor toms have set any fruit yet even though they're against a south-south-east facing wall and quite sheltered from the wind.
Fingers crossed. I'm getting a touch of sun on my raised bed where I grow the veggies, most afternoons and evening. It's not much, but seems to help a bit. Better than none, at any rate. One thing I am sick of is garlic spraying against slugs every. single. evening. If I miss an evening they run WILD. I'm sure that at 2am it must be like the Last Chance Slug Saloon out there, wild partying, s*x all over the place, gorging themselves silly ... I am investing in nematodes and awaiting their arrival soon. SOMETHING has to be done to reduce the population!
Same here :(.we have been growing veg for yrs for just the 2 of us and this is the worse harvest year so far. Only few flowers on 20 toms plants, only l cougette frowing on 3 plants, no apples fruting & nothing to harvest on our 4 rhubarb plant, No runner beans growing or peas.,slug got them. Only thing good so far is new pots, lettuces, raspberries & few swiss chard. Even greenhouse veg is not growing.
Thank you
Put a string fence around my main crop potatoes yesterday. Here in the Midlands it's been on off heavy showers then bit of sun and repeat. It's ridiculous.
Sure is
Thank you
The rain and wind has been mental this year Ivan
Very true
we had hail stones yesterday the 7th today we have sun again can maybe get onions up and more peas in pull bind weed
Thank you Pauline
Ivan when did you plant your tomatoes just wondering
Mid Spring i think
Cheers Ivan
Thank you too
Im planning on getting a greenhouse...
Great stuff Thank you Christine
The bugs have eaten all my lettuce and beets and cleaned off the potato tops. Frustrating
Sorry to hear that
They can be annoying
Geo engineering
Thank you
lv only got a few flowers on all my tom plants, not going to be a good yr for me. Every time l see yr lovely lettuce plants growing so well, l keep thinking of lovely lettuce soup. Mine is the only thing growing really well so far, so its healthy jamie oliver lettuce soup for lunch today with micro warm cheese scones.. only takes mins to make & cost us less than 50p for 2. Cant beat home grown food, no matter how small a crop.
Better days to come Thank you Katie
I started gardening last year so I'm just learning as I go along, but this year has put me off growing any vegetables. Any flowers I start from seed the blimey slugs and snails eat them. I'll buy ready-grown flowers and be done with gardening.😓😓😓😓
Hope you try again soon all the best
@@desipanjaban don't be too disheartened, this is the worst year I can remember for at least the past 10 years, maybe more.
The weather is terrible here to Ivan. My Florence onions have all cone through now, can I grow them where they are or do I have to transplant. Thanks Ivan
If they have enough room to grow then you can leave them
@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk thank you so.much
Is there no way you can erect a wind break of some sort.? My heating has been on all week in the evening-most folk are the same 😡
May look into that next year
Thank you
Google geo engineering you will find the answer
@@wilbursmith2955 yeah cause the weather cant be just bad or good sometimes 🤣
@@o0ooo0 the weather is being manipulated . They cloud seed so it rains to flood the fields so farmers can’t grow crops causing food shortages , haven’t you looking into the sky and seen the chem trails? The chem trails block the sun out . We need sun to live . Big phama make billions from sick people . They want you sick and dumbed down on anti depressents so you don’t ask questions about the narrative and why they’re poisoning us for years
HARRP makes interesting research on the Geo engineering agenda hopefully more people are recognising what’s going on .
Thank you
Thank you
