Thank you for this, I’ll be taking your wisdoms and trying this ❤🌱
I love following you around the plot thanks for the talk
Your videos are always very useful and informative, thanks.
I had to buy carrots this week, first time in years that I have had to buy them before Christmas 😢, next year I will sow more!😊
Just picked up my first allotment plot this week, here in sunny North Wales, I'll be picking all ya brains for tips and tricks 😊 nice channel
Awesome 🤩 happy to help 😊 🌱
I’m so happy I found your page 🎉
Glad you enjoy it 😊 🌱
Loved watching this thank you it’s been really helpful
You’re welcome ☺️
Tip for any of your subscribers with rotavators. Assuming it is tucked up in the garage or shed for the winter. Drain the fuel tank. This prevents a sludge developing which clogs the fuel flow to the carburettor and prevents it starting. Unleaded only last 30 days before it starts to decay. The super unleaded lasts about 3 months. A specialist fuel will last about a year. You can get additives to make it last longer. Check the oil before use. Ensure the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. I learnt the hard way mine would not start after the winter and it was sludge in the fuel. Apologies if you have already covered this.
Thank you 😊
Will Cow manure be any good around the Crowns of rhubarb or should it be only horse manure Mike.
I don’t see any reason why not / my friend in Hereford uses nothing but cows 🐄 manure on her plot as she’s surrounded but cows
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife thankyou Mike
Excellent advice. Our local brewery supplies our Allotments with Hop husks foc. I use them as ground cover to suppress the weeds, plus it mulches well when dug in.
Great tip!
Hello ma,am please check g
😊
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼📸📸📸
Thank you for watching
Hi, can I ask when do you plant them. Do you start them inside or straight outside. Thank you so much.
I order grafted plants 🌱 in the new year and they are usually delivered around end of May which I pot on and usually within one month I plant them outside 😊
I waited two months for a plot but that is because I wanted one that was being given up as it had infrastructure on it and well manured soil by the current owner. I have a 9 perch plot now which I took over almost two weeks ago..I am up every day ATM. I pay £42.50 for the year
Awesome and good luck with your new plot 🌱
Thanks for the very useful and interesting video! This might be a silly question but why do you have the sticks with bottle on in your beds? I've seen a lof of people in my allotments doing the same thing and always wondered why 😊
Some are to mark rows when first planted so I know where I’ve sown and I put bottles on the top as it’s easy to catch yourself without and some I did have covered in netting and the bottles help hold the net otherwise the canes go through the netting 😊
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife That makes a lot of sense, thank you! :D
We have just got an allotment we have 8 rod ours is run by the council we only waited for 2 weeks it cost £80 this includes a shed they only allow local people to have one we have a few in our town. We have a manager who we contact if we have issues. I put myself on the waiting list and a lady from the council contacted me and told me the managers number. We have water in site and we can hire certain machinery
Awesome 🤩 good you have access to machinery too
How far is your new abode to your allotment?
We’ve not moved yet so don’t know yet 😊
Thankyou for the video, I totally agree about leaving crops in the ground until we need them, feed the soil as well as us😊
Thank you for watching
Thank you, your video really helped make it clear. As you say there are so many conflicting opinions on social media and that’s not at all helpful.
Glad it’s helped and it’s certainly kept blight away from my tomatoes 🍅 for many years and like most people I’ve learnt this through experience and losing them in the past
Did they survive ok? Is there anything specific needed for the ‘Basket of Chillies’ variety? And can you save yellow unripe chillies? X
One survived / if I’m honest I think they weren’t warm enough as my intention was to bring them indoors but somehow I didn’t but luckily one did still survive in my summerhouse / when you say save yellow chillis you can eat them yellow is that what you mean
How can I contact with you?
What can I help you with? Either ask here or email address in bio
Enjoy your video's harvest something every week of every year. Even if it's only silverbeet/spinach/chard or carrots.
💯 plus all the bits we have frozen and preserved / I’ve also got over 30 squashes in my conservatory so plenty to keep me going
Hun somethings happened to the aspect ration of your video. Still lovely video.
Not sure 🤔 seems ok our end / we did have a lot of background noise from workmen and my son borrowed the camera for carting so may be the settings were off x
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife I think your son might have turned a filter on such as 'key hole' or some other visual style like 'dolly zoom'. I think it might be safest to factory reset the camera. Best of luck thanks for all the wonderful vids. x
📸📸📷
Thank you ☺️ for watching
Like you we still have lots of food growing, not so much ready to eat now though😢, we have nearly run out of carrots😮. It looks like you have plenty to do down there!!!😊
Always plenty to do / I plan to do some tidying up tomorrow 😊
why the oil if you're not baking/frying them?
I believe it just makes it taste nice
Thanks for the tip about keeping the brassicas covered up. I've been wondering about uncovering mine - but I know there are lots of pigeons around (it's a woodland area) so now I'll definitely keep them covered ;-). Always enjoy your vlogs - thank you.
You’re welcome ☺️
kale, chard anything like that get demolished by slugs what would you suggest I am not a fan of adding chemicals in pellets to food I am eating.
There’s no quick fix but nematodes are an option, I’m always on the look out for slugs 🐌 and snails and I remove them no matter what time of year, beer traps work well and laying down a wide plank of wood which attracts them and remove them once collected / hope that helps 😊
Try Cape gooseberry jam. X
Thank you I’ll look that up / I’m still getting plenty
Thank you for being so informative over growing veges I enjoy your videos. All those squash! What do you do with them after Halloween?
The squashes store well and I use them for all sorts of recipes, roast, soups, cakes, stews, curries, puree, mash. They really are very versatile.
Ma,am are you looking for a professional RUclips thumbnail designer?
Thank you / we are fine at the moment
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you 😊
Thank you its a lovely video 😊
Thank you 😊 for watching 🌱
Will you be keeping Ur allotment when you move ,or are you leaving the area ?
My intention is that we will buy somewhere with enough land to not need an allotment / so I will very much continue growing fruit and vegetables but I will give up the allotment once we’ve moved until then I’ll carry on at the allotment
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife ooo that's so exciting ; I love my allotment but I would love land for more chickens,I'm excited to see where and what u end up with xx
It may be getting dryer in the east but here in Devon it’s totally the opposite. I know as I grew up and lived in east England But have lived in Devon for 20 years now and the rain fall has increased immensely 😇👍
It’s wet for us now but we find the spring much dryer now than it used to be
Thank you 😇👍
You’re welcome ☺️
You have a lovely attitude to presenting the information about growing food!!!
Thank you so much!
1 question I've got some rose seeds WHEN can I sow them no one on the web can tell me
I’ve found this blog about the subject which I hope you find useful blog.thompson-morgan.com/how-to-grow-roses-from-seed/
Blueberries minimal prune until you think you don't want them to be too tall. Just ensure you can pick all the blueberries easily!
Thank you ☺️
Nice tour of the plot, same as you I love to grow and eat what I grow and share with others when I have spare😊
It really is such a wonderful feeling isn’t it 😊 to share with others
Top tour
Thank you 😊
lovely to see " not an expert " for a change, you have quite a variety of fruit and veg going at the same time, we are english but with an allotment in holland, also a fairly similar selection of eatables except no apple/pear trees, well anyway enjoy your garden, cheers .
Thank you 😊 my aim is very much to help normal folk in a down to earth practical way to help ensure a good crop whilst trying to show that even for an experienced gardener it doesn’t always go to plan
Very well put together. I learned alot in a short time. Thx
Thank you ☺️ glad you found it useful
2:00 funny to see that old fool doing the backbreaking work of digging over the soil... i'd love to show him the ridiculously abundant harvest i had this year NO DIG with only a fraction of the time and energy spent
Think he likes the exercise 😊
Get so annoyed by comments about people who dig, after 32 years of no dig, can say that I now dig my carrot area over each winter, due to them becoming stumpy. Plus will also dig out problem weeds.
we don't think it's appropriate to call someone an " old fool " when he is actually out in the fresh air, gardening the way he wants to, getting exercise, that's what it's all about, everyone is a bit different
Wow, your squashes & pumpkins!
Definitely my best year ever 🎃
Great carrots!
Thanks definitely one of my better years
Thanks for the video! I’ve moved into a new home with summer raspberries. I cut back all the obviously dead canes and left the rest and pruned them a bit over the summer to stop them going out of control. It’s now October and there are half a dozen or so canes which are all quite brown but they are sprouting new green offshoots. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
They are the new canes for next years fruit so leave them and they will produce your raspberries for next year and good luck with your new plot
Thank you its a lovely video
Thank you 😊
