    So good to see that Bolski's last memories were happy ones. I hope you're both doing ok, they take such a big piece of your heart when they go.

    Fab go with the garden both of you . Potatoes are hungry feeders . Toms once they start to ripen the has signals others to ripen but you can eat green toms and can also ripen indoors . Nasturtium flowers , leaves and seeds are edible . Sprouts tops are a great substitute for cabbage. Look forward to more next year . Oh and any veg you are gifted like squashes , keep the seeds and dry them and plant in your garden next year . Thank you for sharing more of Bob to , he was such a character.

      We're already looking forward to the next season! Long wait now though... yea next year I will just try and isolate that plant in its own bed as it was blocking out everything else!

      @ so glad you are both looking forward to next year and I think your greenhouse is fab . Nasturtiums can get a bit overexcited in growth lol . Mint can take over as well so best ion its own with a restriction on where it can get . Look forward to seeing you both move forward with it all .

    Nothing like growing your own. Just remember its all a learning curve. We are learning every day of our life. Definitely right about the taste of your own products. Nothing else like it. The peas would never make it to the plate with me. Be eating straight out of the pod lol. Take Care Both 🙏

    Volvo bm are quite expensive even if they are old. but it is good quality and there are a lot of parts. they ended in 1985-86. nice filming as always.

    those seeds are nasturtiums, the seeds are edible, they can be pickled like capers and are a bit antibiotic. All parts of the plant are edible with a peppery taste and they self set every where I sowed them once 30 years ago in my kitchen garden here in Brittany and they have come back every year since. I just weed out the ones I don't want. The dark purple potatoes I grow too. They do have low yields but the skins contain lots of biological useful molecules ( antioxidants etc) they also will come back next year as they are the same colour as the soil and so some always get left behind! This may not happen in Sweden if they freeze in the soil of course!!

    • @ash.pollard
      @ash.pollard  Місяць тому

      I always forget the name of it haha but yes, we did eat it quite often. Although it grows so fast we couldn't keep up! We had a few potatoes come back from last year so apparently they can survive the crazy frost 😄

    Great veggie garden that you have growing and making the most of what the soil has to offer. Some of our gardens are the produce shelves in the shops unfortunately. No danger of the tractors being electric anytime soon hopefully but some here are using them and they can have them. Good old combustion and character never loses its appeal.

    • @ash.pollard
      @ash.pollard  Місяць тому +1

      You work with what you have I guess. Still pretty impressive what people can produce just on a balcony or in windows though! Haha yea, they do have modern tractors also but still use these two classics every year for the hay 😊

    Good looking crop all the same. You'll get there! Store the tatties in the dark in hessian sacks (if you can get them). They taste so good when you grow them yourself!

    • @ash.pollard
      @ash.pollard  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks! We don't have any sacks but we dried them all first and then have in a few boxes under the stairs. So far seem to be doing fine but will keep an eye on them 😊 I don't think I've ever tasted potatoes as good as these!

    As I understand tractors, you need more power for different implements with arouy 50bhp being the minimum to run most things but ideally around 100bhp.

    • @ash.pollard
      @ash.pollard  Місяць тому +1

      Depends what you want to do of course. We don't need to run much really but a front loader would be very nice and useful.
