  • After a couple of weeks away from the plot, due to work commitments etc, we have a little allotment update.
    We take a look at the fruit and flower garden, brassicas, squash, sweetcorn, beans and peppers.......not forgetting the stunning dahlias and sunflowers in the cut flower garden
    Polytunnel is looking a bit bare on one side due to the tomato plant eviction.....but the peppers are doing brilliantly!

    Those dahlia's are gorgeous Will. Your brassicas are flying along too. Those marigolds are certainly loving being in your polytunnel with no competition, the colours are so vibrant. Your plots looking great. Take care 😊

      Thanks Bethan ! I couldn’t be without my flowers on the plot for splashes of colour and of course for companion planting! I’m happy with the brassicas this year again too! I’ve got plants for them in the polytunnel over winter! 💪🏼😁💚

    Good morning Will,
    Your plot is looking fabulous! Brassica's... wow!
    Beans... fabulous!
    Dahlias... amazing!
    Chillies, peppers... wonderful!
    You must be so proud?
    The powdery mildew has appeared here, too. I had to remove all of my callendula yesterday, which, up until now, had been incredible. Such a shame, but not really a surprise after all the rain we have had!
    Have a great weekend, and enjoy your harvests!!
    Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱

    Gladioli, dahlias and that lemon queen are beautiful.
    I totally have sprout envy, have never got them larger than my thumbnail.
    I am having winter squash pollination issues too. I only have 4 butternuts and 2 autumn frosts, well 🐿️ got one! I plan to hand pollinate to try to get more fruit happening as the window of opportunity is closing. I am also having lower melon per vine count too.
    I’m going to need some kalette recipe ideas as they are really coming on well.

    Looking great, you've got so much growing in a relatively small space! Have a look at horticultural soap for the spray, I've heard washing up liquid can damage the leaves by stripping the protective layer on the surface. You can also use it with neem oil which works a treat against blackfly, allium miner and other pests.

    Will, your Dahlias are stunning. Look at all the heads on your Lemon Queen S/Flower. I always grow a variety called Elite and get lots of heads but nothing like yours. Unfortunately the squirrels have started their gymnastics early this year and are eating the heads which is annoying as I usually get to enjoy the blooms a lot longer than this. Last year one ran off with a whole flower in its mouth which was comical to watch as the flower was bigger than him.

    • @theflyinggardener

      Nice to see you back again Will, and your plot is looking good as usual. Have you heard from the council yet about getting another plot? I'm not a chilli expert and I have had no success with growing the chocolate peppers, I have tried two years and the seeds didn't even germinate 😪. I'm growing footling chillies and although not a foot long they're longer than my hand. If it's ok I can recommend Naturally JB, he grows loads of chillies and is a bit of an expert on them, he also recommends chilli chump who really is an expert on chillies, I've never seen his channel but according to JB there's nothing he doesn't know about chillies.
      Sorry Will just realised I answered this in someone else's comment, I'm sure you will see it though.
