- Another plant out to hedge my bets. Planting out pumpkins, courgettes and squash today.
The plot is so behind in relation to things growing and I think it's due to the season not really starting properly - so hopefully things will pick up and we'll have a late harvest, but I'm not holding out my hope just yet!

Hey Mark, lots of flowers on the tomatoes 🍅 mine have more leaves than flowers 😂 but they are outside in the insane heat. Too much heat caused flower drop so,they get flowers but then they simply fall off 😢😢. Yes looks like melon flowers they grow like a cucumber would look. Making the shed look real cozy. It’s too hot here and not hot enough there we need to trade for a week. All we can do is try though Mark so chin up keep at it, Ali 🥵🌞🇨🇦
Yes, let’s trade some weather. I really think this season is going to be the worst. But I’m trying to stay positive. This may be the first year of no pumpkins - which I’ll be disappointed about, as I’ve always had such good luck with them. Let’s see…
I think it’s the same for all of us in the UK this year, weather has been too wet and cold to grow much at all. I’ve spent a lot of time in the shed tidying up and putting things in their correct space which has been really therapeutic. I feel WHEN/IF we get some good weather I’m ready to go.
I’m thinking I might do that. Need to sort out my shed and give the inside a paint - so might be worth doing that and trying to weed the rest of the plot and forget about growing for the time being :)
@@GrowingWithPlot21 Honestly Mark I was ready for calling it day as everything is ravaged by slugs or rabbits so I thought I’d concentrate more on making it look tidy and I’ve got to say I’ve got my mojo back this weekend. The inside of the shed is painted, rug on the floor, hooks for tools put up and I even got some cheap little baskets for putting my nails/screws in and separate one for my hosepipe bits and bobs. I even labelled my plant food/slug pellets etc so I know which is for home and which is for the Plot and they shall remain there! I did however harvest 6 Padron peppers, 2 little courgettes 5 dwarf french beans and 2 mini munch cucumbers today so I’m taking that as win!
That’s so good. Do you have a picture of the shed? Love to see to get ideas for mine. I think I’m going to concentrate on shed for next video, at least then I’ll have a useable space for when things start moving along.
@@GrowingWithPlot21 I’ll take one tomorrow when I’m there trying to put up a rabbit proof fence. I’ve only used old leftover paint that we had but it keeps it looking clean and I can see any spiders as it’s white ish!!
When the weather is crap I just sow beans peas eat nettle seeds for a boost and dig in the brassica tunnel happy gardening Richardx
