Pongo's are a dwarf variety and are ideal for hanging over a raised beds. They do look healthy. The maggots are definitely Allium Leaf Miner Rach. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
Oh thank you, I'll see how these grow and will defo be planting them again next year. And yeah, I really wish I'd known how to treat them when I planted these ones. The maggots on the ones at home are 100% onion fly. I'm just not destined to grow them mate 🫣😂
Glad to see you're feeling so much better. I bet you were shocked how much everything had grown in your absence too. Great work, busy few days at the plot. Sorry you've been struck by Alium Leaf Miner again. 😞
Thanks Clare. I couldn't believe it. Upset I missed all that lovely sunshine too. It's done nothing but rain since I was better 🤣 Ahh and I'm just not made to grow onions 🙄 I'd rather have slugs 😆
Glad you are feeling better, trust it to be nice and sunny while you were poorly then you back and so is the rain 😂 Everything is looking great, I really need to buy some of those pipes for the beds as I had 6 cabbages gone over night by slugs
Thanks Jamie. I know! Can't believe how much it's rained. 🤨 Keep a look out in the allotment groups and marketplace. We were lucky to get most ours from the plots but did buy some in our first year from b&q My next video I gave some slug deterrent which so far is doing the trick! So watch out for it 🚫🐌
Super glad your back and feeling better ❤️🩹. Oh shitty about the leaf miner, I’m seeing them in my chard 🤬🤬. My fault they probably over wintered in the soil from the beets last year. Yes sweet peas can be quite unruly I had to do the same 🤦🏼♀️. It’s chucking it done again (a week now). 😂😂better than I can’t get it in. Oh I have those clips 💪💪. Great peas safety cage, have a fab week, Ali 🌧️🌧️🌧️🇨🇦
Thanks Ali. Playing catch up myself tonight 🤭🤣 And I'm sick of loosing crop now! And I have some flowers on the sweetpeas, looking forward to watching them grow. And yeah we have had rain since I was feeling better! 😂 I missed to hot stuff. Hope your all well over there 🌱💚😌
So glad to see you back and on the mend ❤ everything is looking good I don’t think any birds will get at those peas now. I’ve been busy battling with weeds and marestail as well it seems to be thriving with all the rain this year 😢 . Take care Tracy
Hi Tracey and thank you. It's great to be back Haha it's like a pea prison isn't it! 🐦🚫 And I think all this rain and that warm week in May has just accelerated these weeds.... best of luck with that! Have a fab week 💚🥰
Hi Rachel nice to see you back and feeling better, your comments about short legs that my val she says same thing and says not her fault im 6 foot 7 and she 5 foot 1😅😅 the pongo's are a dwarf french been hope you enjoy.
Hi Bill. Aww thank you and I hope you are both doing ok. Great to get back in the garden again. Loads to do. And yes, but, good things come in small bundles 😄 Also, I think these beans maybe from your way once upon a time. I'm really looking forward to them! Have a fab week 🌱💚😊
@@ericandrachallotmenteers that is so true wonderful things come in small bundles I tell val all the time , we sent to Terry few years back now and over the years sent them all over world Ali in Canada had them as well
I dropped the ball on spring cabbages last year... my morning sickness was so bad if you said cabbage I would have been sick! So I'm regretting that... next year I'll have a whole bed of them
Haha you had you mention the carrots... I can't grow carrots... worst I germinate some in the front garden and bob wants to put a drive....... on my carrots
@@ericandrachallotmenteers not only is my single carrot good but we re sowed the patch with 1110 seeds and how ther is 2 more! So 3 in total! I re seeded with 1500 seeds so I may get one more!
Thanks Jimmy. And yeah I had to play around a bit when I realised and I couldn't fix the problem. It's worked fine for ages so maybe I pressed the wrong button? Thanks for letting me know too, I'll have to test it again for the next one 👍🏽🙂
Happy that your feeling better. Weeding is my daily routine with all the recent rain.
Thanks Joe. And yes. We have definitely seen more this year. Keeps us out of trouble I guess 😂👩🏼🌾🌱
