If you enjoy the video it'd be amazing if you'd consider sharing it (or my channel) amongst your friends or social networks. I'd love for the channel to keep growing, and to reach more and more people! Thanks so much! ❤️
Sorry Niall I asked a question on the October video. Can I grow garlic and onions in containers, pots?? But I only received your pin asking me to share the video. Please reply to my question.
@@traceygodfrey6432 Hi Tracey, I'd say that should be perfectly possible if you choose nice large containers so that the plants have plenty of room to grow 👍
Thank you Niall, I just don't know where the time has gone! I so needed a reminder. September in Ceredigion has been so amazing. Happy growing. BTW you probably already know, but if not then you can leave a couple of garlic cloves in the soil and keep harvesting from it or the bulblets it gets on the top. A true perennial. Keep safe
Wonderful, you're welcome! I've heard about doing that with garlic, but I've got to confess that I've never actually tried it... cue what I'll be trying this time! Thanks so much for the tip because I'm sure everyone here is going to find that super handy as well! ❤️
@@niallgardens You're welcome Niall, I'm going to give it a go with this lot I have just planted too. I have a feeling it may have been Liz Zorab who mentioned it,. I'm also giving Egyptian walking onions, and welsh onions a go,. BTW Autumn arrived here today with torrential rain overnight. Had to happen I suppose. Happy gardening, and Keep safe.
I tried pea shoots in salad for the first time this year and you are right. They are yummy! My plan this Fall is to grow some in my kindergarten class and have them nibble a pea shoot if they are brave!
Hi Niall, thank you for the lovely video. Please would you also consider producing videos to discuss general garden jobs each month, aside from sowing/planting? Also indoor bulb (forced) planting e.g. hyacinths, narcissus etc? Keep up the great work brother. Anthony, Bournemouth. 🌸🌱🦋🥕
Hi Anthony! I certainly will, thanks for the suggestion! Actually, if you're interested in indoor bulbs, I've made a dedicated video on that... ua-cam.com/video/jqCutgMbjYY/v-deo.html
Healthy pea shoots you are having there. You gave me an idea of adding greens on my salad because we are approaching summer now in South Africa and our summer is extremely hot. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for your advise.
Niall I love your videos it’s great to see someone from Ireland! I’m going to plant my garlic in Oct and also will try pea shoots as I love them too’ ! Thank you ☘️☘️☘️
Thank you for this - it's great to have advice for growing in Ireland. I started my broadbeans in Autumn last year and had no trouble with blackfly this year, and a great crop. This year's starter crop are leaping out of the pots already. I have had very little success with carrots this year so I am going to try growing a crop in a large crate in the greenhouse this winter. Seedlings are already appearing. Fingers crossed.
You're more than welcome Rita! ❤️ That's good to know that you had success with the autumn sowing of broad beans - I'm hoping I'll have the same. Good luck with the carrots!!
Thanks Niall,good share and reminder. Over wintering onions gone in,will be doing garlic next. Leeks gone in. The corn looks superb in the back ground, well done. Might do a few salad leaves, and a few carrots.
You're a few steps ahead of me already! I'm gonna have to get out and clear the bed that I'm putting my onions into. I've just been out this morning harvesting my Pink Fir Apple potatoes and got a nice little harvest which I'm chuffed about. Yeah the corn is very late, but doing well all the same, thank goodness!
@@niallgardens you are flying,every time i watch one of your videos, its a reminder. Er i am covering over alot of mine with manure,cardboard and seaweed, just family commitments get in theway,as i have to travel to mine, i don't have a pollytunnel,so one day when we move its all in the plans to have at home fully. Fair play re the spuds, you really have done wonders.
Good morning Niall, Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸 Your Garden still looks fantastic and I see you are in long pants and sweater so I know the days must be getting cooler. We are still waiting for a cooler weather break 🤞any day now 👍
Hi Peggy! 😃 Thanks for the lovely comment. Yeah it's starting to get cooler here (not that it ever gets very warm! 😂😂😂). I'd happily swap some of your weather with you!
Thanks for this helpful video! I noticed you have some very nice borlotti beans! Just wondered if you have any videos on how to build this structure and grow these beans? I grew dwarf borlotti beans this year and they all got eaten 😢
Thanks Sandra! Yeah I've got Liz Zorab to thank for the inspiration on that one - they're so handy to grow... and satisfying! Plus it makes any salad look restaurant-worthy!
It's encouraging to know we can still sow at this time of year! Also, I just made a video on my channel about how I grew Dill, Coriander, Parsley and Rockets and they really do grow fast!
Another great video haven't had the time yet to do much sowing since August and I've been mostly doing flowers but really want to branch to veg hopefully soon
Hi I Caroline Barton is changing my back garden round take my old raised bed out put new one in so soul siffing out soil old root out ok and have got more for corn post ok
Sadly this year's got killed off in 'The Great Polytunnel Overheating Event of Spring 2021' 😂 So I'm hoping that two sowings this Autumn will set me up well! How're you?
Hi Niall, I have just come across your channel and I am quite enjoying it. I have recently come to Ireland and am trying a vegetable garden but struggling with the climate, understanding what to sow, when and how? I have gardened for many years, mostly in Australia but more recently and very successfully in South island of New Zealand. Could I ask do you direct sow or start in tunnel etc? I don't have tunnel or cold frame. Thanks Kelly
hmm hadn’t thought of growing peas still this month! waiting for the onions to arrive in post to grow soon and spring onions. planted carrot seeds about 2-3 weeks ago in poly tunnel and they are just starting to shoot which is good! my corn wasn’t good this year at all as had to protect them from little mice plus had so much black fly on them too! but will grow again next year but perhaps a different location. another great video, thank you!
Yeah growing peashoots is a great thing to do! You're getting loads of great stuff started - that's brilliant! My corn is extremely late, but doing ok... unlike my Yin Yang beans (eaten except for one tiny plant!) and my squashes (which have been languishing!)
Thank you for another clear and informative video Niall. I'm waiting on my Guardsman spring onion seeds to arrive - hopefully soon be here! Also like you I am waiting for space to get my garlic and onion sets in..can't wait!! Niall, I was going to put my garlic in where my beans where. Is this ok or a no no? I was going to put onions in where chilli and peppers where. Is this a yay or a nay? I know you have to amend the compost but how? And how do you amend yours? There's not very much I know really is there??? Haha! Thank you in advance Niall x
You're welcome Geraldine! That should be absolutely fine actually - in terms of crop rotation, they sit quite nicely apart so you shouldn't have any problems. The good news is that your beans will have already done some of the amendment for you by adding nitrogen from the little nodules on their roots. After that, I'd be thinking to just add a good layer of compost on top of the soil which the worms and weather will work down into the soil. Don't worry - if you're growing stuff, you definitely already know loads! ❤️
100% You can actually start them off in modules (that's what I do) then plant them out into containers. Just make sure not to pack them too tightly - give them plenty of room to grow!
So the potted Pea Shoots -- do you grow them outdoors then? I might give that a try. I've only tried growing shoots indoors late last Winter, for the first time.
Hi I’m a novice but have bought some spring onion seeds and not sure how to plant them! Do I put them in cell trays and leave to grow on over the winter? Thanks
Yeah you can sow them in cells and then plant them on, or you could sow them into a container, or even a seed-bed. They're quite robust little plants, but they'll thank you for giving them some protection from the worst of the elements.
Hello from a fairly new subscriber! Is there a difference between autumn onions and spring varieties? I looked into buying some but it looks like you just harvest in June/July anyway.
Hi! There isn't really a difference - as you say it's simply down to the timing of when you plant them. Autumn planting gives the onions a head-start come the spring so you should be able to harvest a month or two earlier than your spring-sown sets 👍
If you enjoy the video it'd be amazing if you'd consider sharing it (or my channel) amongst your friends or social networks. I'd love for the channel to keep growing, and to reach more and more people! Thanks so much! ❤️
