You have such a productive garden❤

Your garden looks great! It's so satisfying to watch it grow through the season. Good job man and nice harvest

Nice work 🙂🌱

Lovely video, nice harvest! Get it in the basket is definitely your tag line! Lol unfortunately once onions throw out scapes they are done, they won't dry out and store either as the scape comes from the centre, so maybe dice and freeze? Also means onions through winter! It's what I do with my scaped ones anyway. You've done a fab job so far, well done!

I had a conversation about parsnips with a friend last week. What on earth do you do with parsnips? Like what type of things do you make with them?

Hi Arran, nice tour and harvest. I'd be weary about the borage. I sowed it one year, and am still trying to get rid of it because it pops up absolutely everywhere. If you have it in a pot and it drops seed, it'll still invade the garden. To be honest, it doesn't eat that well so I doubt you will think it's worth taking the space where you could grow appreciable food crops. Just my opinion, but you'll see I guess. Your sweet peas are looking great, and do make sure you leave them run to seeds. I did that last year and they all came up this year, yet the "fresh" seeds from T&M did very poor germination, as did many of T&Ms old seeds, which I a pretty sure is the problem. I sowed over 100 saved seeds ad they virtually all germinated. You've done well with the cucurbit plants, many of us have been hammered by the slugs and snails (the devils pets I call them). You might do well to thin out the parsnips as they are a bit too shoulder to shoulder and they won't grow as wide if you leave the too densely planted. You've done so well and it's great to hear you encourage other new growers, well done. X

The potatoes are fine Arran .When did they go in and what variety ? Some super harvesting ! Once an onion has thrown up a Scape it won't bulb up anymore so best to pick and chop and freeze .Well done ,everything looks very healthy 🥇

Hi Arran, my potatoes looked like yours. I flew in to full panic mode, turned them all out and threw the foliage away. Potatoes however are delicious 😊 it's my 3rd year of growing veg in my garden so every day is a school day for me too. Keep up the good work 👏

What a cracking update Arran and a great harvest. This is my first year growing veg, so really enjoying seeing what other people have going on. All my veg is well behind yours, but hopefully I’ll be harvesting soon.

looking fantastic, well done on growing so much in a small space! :)

Thanks for watching 👀 😊

Nice garlic harvest mate! Also need an update on those tomatoes haha they are looking great

Cheers Arran 🌱, rather impressive harvest of garlic there for sure 👍🙂

🐝Thanks for the great video 🌻

Arran, this is not so much luck, but rather your self belief is giving you the confidence you needed, so well done. It's great to see people early in their gardening career making progress and gaining confidence and motivation. I only commented the other day in another channel that gardening is one place where the more you learn, you more realise you will have more to learn. Growing veg always brings unexpected outcomes as well as the expected. I sowed rocket once in a bed on my allotment, and it never came up. The next year, after I had sorted that same bed and sowed a new crop, that crop didn't germinate at all...but the rocket did and almost a whole row grew nice lush leaves. I still don't know what I did and how the seeds didn't rot or get scattered all over the bed from when I prepared it for the new crop. Every year, one of my pleasures (among the disappointments) is to see what surprises I'll get. Thanks for the video...btw, when are you going to put your name down for an allotment? :)

Oh my god your tomatoes are huge and no kidding cukes 😮. I will look at pulling some of mine then as the “stalks” are huge. Me too rocket and spinach went to seed 😢. My elephant garlic was a disaster it rotted in the wet. Fab harvest Arrans and why we do all this faffing about is fresh harvesting. Have an amazing week, Ali 🌧️🥶🇨🇦

Thanks for watching 👀 ❤

Fantastic garlic , hope mine come out looking that good 😊

👍🙂🌱 Cheers for the update. Those tomatoes do sound interesting 🍅. Look forward to seeing them 🍅

Oh come on why no half naked roofers 😂😂 oh right a gardening channel 🤦🏼‍♀️. Lovely to see sunshine for a change Arran. Wow what cute apple babies, my cucamelons look floppy too but hopefully they do well. If you have room tuck them away in a corner spot. Lots growing Arran and you have foot some amazing crops on the way. We did not get to see the lights 😢. Have an amazing weekend Arran, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

insalely early toms and cukes lol good work for getting them through that well made me want to try next year, I didn't sow until april / may

I'd recommend some small cabbages" greyhound" or " primo" for coleslaw .You could start off calabrese in pots and plant up when the garlic come out .

loving how youve got those cucamelons dotted around👍

Hi Arran, it's good to see the polytunnel filling up. I have been experimenting with taking side shoots from February sown tomato plants and so far had 100% success. This might be one way of getting reliable plants, but also because if you like to grow a lot of a particular type the seeds that are expensive (for an allotment situation maybe) this could be a way to save a bit on seeds. I like to grow Sungold F1 which are normally almost £5 (though last year I bought some on special offer at T&M for 99p) and you only get 8 seeds in a packet. I am going to try and overwinter a few of the different varieties I have grown this year, mainly for amusement and something to aim for towards next year, when I will put the plants into an area of warmth and light to stimulate them out of dormancy. I know some people do this with tiny tomatoes or the Red Robin type and grow them all year indoors with a decorative grow light heated propagator setup. I couldn't afford the expense of the purpose made grow lights, so I ordered some low-profile downlights with the right lighting qualities (just under £30 for 6), and I set them up on a length of white plastic and use them over one of those 7 cell tray window propagators you can get on Amazon, and it worked better than others I have seen, with some tomato seedlings that germinated and grew stocky and strong. There's always something interesting to try in this game. Thanks for the video. X

looking forward to seeing the peach tomatoes 😊

👍enjoyed it

Didn't know tomato 🍅 plants flowered lol, 36° in the greenhouse already sounds hot 🥵

Yeah that was me with Sidus Roadus. It must be an I risk thing. 😂

Great video! I would say plant the brassica bed if you have the room for it.

Hi arran love the videos if you take your side shoots off put them in a pot you will get free plants later in the summer

Thanks for watching guys ❤

Awesome video as always👍

You have a similar plastic trug with your salad leaves. If you continue to have issues try putting copper tape around. It needs to be at least 1 inch wide. It does really help mine. Your peppers look great 👍

Oh it's so lovely to see your little one helping out .Peppers are looking great !

Great video 😊

👍🌱

Thanks for watching 👀 hope you enjoyed the video ❤🫑

Sow some more tomatoes Arran then you can replace when they run out of steam .Youve done we'll to get them this far 🙂

Looking great Arran! i hope you get a lovely harvest off those tomatoes and look forward to watching your video on your pepper plants :) all the best

Hi Arran. The tomatoes are very tall for the time of year, so they will produce, but the plants will get to the point where you'll have to let them bend over at the top and hang down. It's because they got leggy at the start. At least you'll get some fruit. I have overly tall plants in the greenhouse, but they are not too tall yet. You've done really well so keep it up. Your grow tunnel is looking good. Of all my tomato plants, somehow I only have 1 San Marzano, so I think I must have only had a few seeds and only 1 survived or they went walkies. I ordered some more seeds so I will sow them tomorrow probably, which gives me a while to get them to germinate, grow in cells, then transplant and bring on before planting them out in June. Considering we only have a fairly short summer season, it's amazing how much plants can grow over just 2-3 months. All the best. X

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Polytunnel is looking great! Good work with the toms, least they're in and dealt with now 😆🌱

There's different types of tomatoes for sauce? 😅😂

Should of just plopped the root ball of the tomato’s into the halo instead of threading them through ;) but other than that it’s looking really good in the tunnel 👍🏻 xx

I’m with you the tomatoes are taking over I am never starting tomatoes until the end of March beginning of April 😢 the situation is dire 😅

Thanks for watching 👀 ❤

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Free veg! I’d just pot up those errant seedlings 😅. I’m container growing my potatoes this year. I have over 20 pots with four seed potatoes in each (1st and 2nd earlies)and about 15 pots with 2 seedlings in on the main crop.

Hi Arran, it's all doing well. I have loads of tomatoes and peppers that I started in February, and I just can't bring myself to throw any away, so my greenhouse glass will be bulging by the time they are hardened off. Your salad looks really good, well done. All the best. X

I too struggled with my beetroots last year. nothing to do but to try again.
