Thanks for the tips! I'm growing enough radish and lettuce in the greenhouse for us and family, enough to sink a ship. I'm not very good at succession sowing and just want to get all those lovely seeds into the seed trays!. This summer, preserves of damson, chilli and raspberry jam and tomato chutney also went to the local food bank as we had so much from our garden. Chilly and frosty here in Gloucestershire - saying a fond farewell to the nasturtiums who are wilting (they did a great job earlier in the year attracting the cabbage whites).
I’ve just put all the soil from my old veg pots into one big box and mixed it all up, removing as much as I can for the compost. Then mixed in chicken pellets and blood fish and bone, then put it back into the pots. Planted my bulbs and broad beans and mulched with grass clippings and straw. All ready for spring!
Ooh! You have solitary bees in your bee hotel. Fabulous. I don't think they found mine this year to place their eggs.I have so much inmy beds to harvest currently. Various kales, cauli, carrots, salads, Kohl rabi, land cress, rocket, parsnips, swede, celeriac, celery, beetroot etc. Definitely worth growing an Autumn garden. Happy gardening 🙂
It's wonderful to hear about your diverse harvest Be! Autumn gardening really does have its perks. I hope your bee hotel attracts those little pollinators next season!
Autumn/winter harvests are fun, last year we had yams, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, silverbeet/spinach, parsley, swedes, leeks, a wide range of brassicas, in the tunnelhouse lettuce, silverbeet/spinach.
It sounds like you had an amazing variety of harvests! Those autumn and winter veggies can really bring the kitchen to life. What are you looking forward to growing this year?

An autumn garden, a quiet delight, With colors ablaze in soft golden light. Though blossoms may wane, Its magic remains, A haven of peace in the cool twilight.
I think this is a brilliant idea and can’t wait to give it a go next year. I also am going to start a weather diary thank you for all your information. I live in Cornwall but I know that because we live on a peninsula with a river on one side and the sea on the other our weather is quite different from other parts of Cornwall. Thank you both.
Thank you for your kind words Anne! A weather diary is a fantastic project, especially with the unique climate in Cornwall. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
We are on a 30 degree slope at home and lose the sun for December and January. No direct sunlight. At least our allotment keeps us going. Sucessful succesion is my main aim for 2025. I haven't cracked it yet but think I have a plan in place ready. Appreciate all the input and help on this channel.
It sounds like you've got a solid plan in place for 2025! Keep going with the allotment and I'm sure you'll crack succession planting and make it work Ken. We shall continue to make videos on the subject and I hope they can help you!
I’ve put some bubble wrap over some of my broad beans, Japanese onions and meteor peas as we’ve had a bit of snow and some frosts here in Bristol. I’m hoping that will protect them until Saturday when it’s supposed to warm up and start raining
I love growing in autumn/winter, less weeding and the vegetables stand ready for ages waiting for you to harvest. My allotment is full of bounty just waiting for us to enjoy 🥰
It sounds like you have a thriving allotment! Autumn and winter gardening can be so rewarding with all that delicious bounty just waiting for you. Enjoy your harvest Cathy!
Staggering planting is really important, I ended up with enough celery and lettuce to feed an army this year! As nice as it was I started getting a bit sick of celery soup after the second month - it was the only way to use up large amounts of it!
It sounds like you had an amazing harvest! Staggered planting really does help with managing those bountiful crops. Hopefully, you found some new recipes to mix things up!
Hi Barry and Mrs W, I still have some Kale and Romanesco. First time I have grown these and probably should have grown more. However, the slugs ate most of my cabbage and cauliflower plants that I grew from seed. I will try and plan better next year. Thanks for another great video.
It's great to hear that you've managed to grow some Kale and Romanesco! Slugs can be pain, but with some planning and a little trial and error, you'll have a bountiful garden next year Jackie I'm sure!
Did an experiment last winter, grew my brassicas in 7 or may try 9cm pots until late January equivalent and then planted them out, grew so much better than the plants that were left in the garden to grow over the winter. Had a plentiful harvest in the spring.
I had some beautiful looking Brussel Sprout plants, in a brassica cage i thought i had pretty well sealed. Slugs and snails recently got in and now they are ruined. Always the way for me and brassicas 😂
I got kalates, cabbages, calabreese, lettuce, spinach, leek ( although they don't look like there coming to much ) I've got carrot but don't think I'll get a harvest

An autumn garden, a quiet delight,
With colors ablaze in soft golden light.
Though blossoms may wane,
Its magic remains,
A haven of peace in the cool twilight.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reflection on the autumn garden! It truly is a magical time of year!

Thank you for sharing your gardening tips! It's always inspiring to see how others care for their plants. Good luck with your beans and peas Jayne!

I chopped and froze some to use in stocks and stews, even the leaves.
Thank you for sharing your method! It’s always great to hear how others make the most of their ingredients!
I juice celery, so the more the merrier.

@@helenstewart2085 that’s a good idea thanks.

It’s always disheartening to see hard work go to waste! Hopefully, you can bounce back and try again next season with some new strategies Tony!
Chooks are a great slug and snail cleaning up, letting them out over winter with crops covered that they might damage.
I got kalates, cabbages, calabreese, lettuce, spinach, leek ( although they don't look like there coming to much ) I've got carrot but don't think I'll get a harvest
Have a great week x
Thank you! I hope you have a fantastic week too!
