    Just been watching your channel, wow you have amazing fruit & vegetables, you must put a lot of hard work into that, looking forward to seeing what you grow & sow this year 👍

    I have just found your channel and really enjoyed your interesting and informative plot tour. I only have a small garden veg plot and am too old to manage an allotment so I have a little envy of your beautiful plots. You must work really hard to keep all those crops going so well especially as you both work as well.

    I grow tomatillo’s. They are ripe when the cover turns papery and the whole thing falls from the plant. I add to my salsa. You do great videos. Educational without all the fluff of many other UA-camrs. That is a complement. Thanks

      Thank you Rebecca. We actually have quite a few fruits on our tomatillos now! Have you managed to overwinter the plants? I heard you can do that.

    Lovely to share your plot once more, everything looks wonderful but I am particularly impressed by the lushness of your beans after all the dry weather!

    • @DontCropMeNow

      Thank you Kate. The no-dig beds really help retain moisture and the cover provided by the beans themselves also contributes.

    Love seeing around your plots Rachel. I enjoy your videos about preserving your crop but would like to see how you store harvests over winter.

    Hi both, thanks for the tour. Everything is looking great despite the challenges of the year! Your bean wigwams look so practical. I’m going to try that next year, thanks.
    Will you be using your windfall cooking apples for anything?
    I love broad bean hummus, no one else does in my house though 😂 Tracy

    • @DontCropMeNow
      @DontCropMeNow  2 роки тому

      I do make pectin with the apples and freeze, but our freezers are full 🤦‍♀️ and we have quite a bit already made. They do pretty well in the compost though!

    Amazing looking plots, very neat and productive. Where did you get your polytunnel? I'm aiming to buy one for my plot this year. I love that greenhouse you have too with the fancy curved roof.

    Fantastic sized onions .. definitely going to watch your onion video for tips. Also, how old are your blueberry bushes? Had mine for 2 years but nothing like as productive. Excellent vid .. thanks

    • @DontCropMeNow
      @DontCropMeNow  2 роки тому +1

      Those are at least 6 years old maybe more. They can take a while to really get going.

    Hi do you do any apple tree maintenance our tree on our allotment fruits really well but the apples always have holes and maggots in them

      Hi Elizabeth sounds like you have codling moth. Has been bad this year. Best thing is pheromone traps - they work brilliantly!
