Can i ask where the potato buckets come from please. I would love to purchase some for next year.

Over the past few weeks I've put garlic and onion sets in, and transplanted a rhubarb crown and some lettuces that a plot neighbour gave me. I also sowed some Meteor peas into root trainers in the polytunnel last week, but no signs of germination yet. I've only been gardening for a couple of years and this is the first time I've tried growing anything over winter, so it'll be a bonus for me if I get anything! 🤞

Hi. Just wanted to ask what size container do you use to store your seeds packets in. Thanks Christina

Have experimented with growing some brassicas in 7cm pots, planted some in the garden in autumn, had the rest in the tunnelhouse garden in Zone9A New Zealand, planted 7cm pots last week of July which is equivalent of January in the UK. Today harvested first cabbage from the July plantings, pulled the earlier planted ones they were tiny and feed to the chooks. Thanks to RUclipsrs like yourself, you have encouraged me to expand my knowledge.

November is the month of never any rest time 😂😂. Awesome update Jim I’m not growing and sowing a lot. But it’s good to see what others are doing. Have a spectacular week, Ali 💨☔️🇨🇦

Hey Jim, Such a help to get your guidance on jobs for November. Many thanks

Great video Jim and lot of useful information on what to grow in November, happy gardening. Sam

I use overwintering sets to get an early onion harvest, because I practice relay planting with them in my trailing squash beds, planting at the far ends and getting them out before the trailing vines reach them.

hi Jim, I would be really interested seeing a video on microgreens. Thanks for this video.😊

Excellent video. Only started growing this year and am taking the big step of signing for an allotment plot tomorrow.

I'd love a microgreen video, please Jim. It's something I'm definitely interested in 😊

I'm trying onions from seed now November I grew from boxing day and January February and they all were golf ball size so thinking if I grow them now they have more time to grow

Hi we're did you get your seeds boxes from.Thanks marie

your growing a tuber thats from like africa, its not gonna grow here. get a UK variety

is there a video showing your pallet build in your greenhouse at 1:08 in this video please. Subscibed. IAN

Thr frames pretty good.. 🤔

Where did you get the boxes you keep your seeds in

Poles look thinner

Yikes snow ❄️ is nice to look at and hopefully kills off some nasty stuff in the soils. But I’m more than happy for it to not be here too long too often. Great lists Jim, I too prefer fall cleaning g its means we can hit the ground running in spring. Have a super weekend, Ali ☔️☔️☔️🇨🇦

Excellent video with lots of good advice. Thank you.

This is great! I always get a rush of motivation after autumn harvests cause we’re constantly going over to the allotment and grabbing stuff for soups and cakes and even additions to dog food. I’m happy I’ve got something to do with said motivation, especially because it’s all gone when we get to spring-time rush because I’ve waited all winter and all I want to do is sow not spring clean. Getting all the cleaning and prep done now while it’s the only thing will be great and alleviate the rush next year. I’ve already set aside the beans will be keeping and I’ll keep the seeds from the biggest pumpkin when I get to making something with it. I don’t think we kept any of the courgette seeds sadly but we always get a great harvest from them (might argue to have 1 more of em next year cause I love the soup and we can always preserve it if it’s too much. Anyways I’ll stop rambling now but safe to say I’m excited for next year, my Halloween was already spent getting rid of the old withered tomato plants, just gonna keep doing that

I have a really tiny garden but do have a greenhouse. I’m new to greenhouse gardening but am starting off some seedlings ready for next year. I’ve planted some Sweet pea, cornflower and alyssum. I planted up pots with bulb and daffodils and this morning I weeded and cut back/ removed the annuals. Anyone have advice on what .i should be doing in the greenhouse?

Looking good Jim, can’t wait to see what you end up with next year! Please share the leek and potatoe pie recipe, sounds lush! x

Hi James, I live in South West Hertfordshire and I grew one in a 30 litre container three years ago and that produced a reasonable crop so the next year I propagated a number of plants and planted them in the ground in late May. They all grew well and produced a good crop by late October BUT, there was a lot of slug damage quite a lot of small tubers and a few enormous ones and the tubers did not store at well in spite of me following all the correct advice. I will go back to getting mine from the supermarket!

really enjoy you vids----mr-fothergills is doing 1 pound seed sale at the moment. I'm putting my Polly tunnel up on the weekend.

My mum was just talking to me about jobs to do

Useful video. How do you feel about just adding the leaf material into the wood chips for the paths?

Any advice on the best way to clean inside a polytunnel? Getting a few mould spots 😢

Maybe where the cage is you could try two hot beds (look up Jack First he has a book on hot beds) that way it gives you an earlier growing season to start growing food. It also extends your growing season in winter and helps through the hungry gap and at the end of the year lots of compost so you would be able to be even more self sufficient in compost 😊

I've got a multi coloured box like yours that I've labelled by month to sow, but that organisation went to pot as I was planting things when I fancied this year. I gotta work a better system

I’m busier at the moment than I was in summer! Doing pretty much all the things you said plus updating my planner on what grew and what didn’t, what I liked and what I didn’t. I don’t know how people who shut up shop for the winter have time to get all their jobs done in spring.

Store my seed in a old cake tin, with dividers labeled now, soon, later, need one more next season. Also record all seed types and expired dates.

I LOVE this video stud. Your VERY VERY attractive. Wish there was one for 2024. Anyhow, I enjoy your Channel and your videos. Eric Memphis TN subscriber

I have to say just loved the thumbnail. It was so cleaver. I alway feel strange commenting about thumbnails but as one yter to another we like having the feedback don't we!? Helps I think but well done. I hope you got a hight CTR I find when I did what I think it's cool somethings I go to far but I think that was so well done

Great work Jim. We make our raised beds the same way. We buy our wood form a wood supply company- far cheaper than SIY stores. Our beds cost £28.00 to make a 2,4 x 1.2 x .3 bed. We have woodchip paths which every 2 years we re do using the old chip for the compost. It's a shame you didn't save the branches, twigs laves etc from the trees you cut down as they are great for filling rised beds (Hugel Kultur). I did that with a lot of my beds and crops and flowers have thrived in it. You are doing a magnificent job. You should have great success with your crops next year. Happy growing 🙂

I wrapped weed membrane around stiff cardboard ; and secured to ground using using tent pegs to create paths.

Moving the large strawberry cage to the new plot is a good idea as it will free up ground so that you can position the raised beds with a larger path between each one. Perhaps to get a wheelbarrow between or at least to be able to kneel when tending the beds. If the paths are too narrow tending the beds can be more difficult

Such a great job Jim - well done! I agree with the others who recommend woodchip over membrane. Easy to scoop it up & use for compost when you need to refresh it 👍

Why do you need to put anything on top of the membrane for the paths.

I'd go for woodchips Jim. They will break down and help break up the clay and you can use the woodchuck as mulch after a couple of years. A bit of extra work topping the paths up, but very worthwhile in thr end.

Don't go for gravel!! After 32 years my paths were orginally gravel, but the birds scratched soil into the paths now all wood chip, every 3 years it is placed on the beds and fresh wood chip put down.

You won't regret going a bit higher, my beds are 6m x 1.4m by 150mm, would love them to be higher and should have used 50mm instead of 30mm thick, the asparagus bed is edged with 75mm wide boards by 250 mm high, but they were reused from another job.

Never mind your screw gun get yourself a new saw 😂

Wow Jim you have definitely made a huge difference to the new plot. Hopefully you and mom can grow some fantastic veg come spring 👍. I am not sure a lot of people could have done so much in a short time. Have a super week and take a break 😂 if you know ow how, Ali ☔️🥶🇨🇦

Nice work.

Well done, Jim. Your new beds look anazing! You've worked so hard. Keep up the good work 😊

I chuck the weeds and soil in the chicken run let the girls scratch through it brilliant compost in 3 days anyway im trying to interview my favorite channels on live would you be up for this as always happy gardening Richardx

That’s a lot of raised beds you’ve made, fair play, they should perform well for you, the only concern I would have is that the long sides may bow out, as there is no posts going into the ground, maybe it would be worth banging a post in the ground at the midway point and securing to that just for insurance? Just a thought.

hi Jim, I would line your paths with membrane first then top with wood chips. If your wellies have any mud on the bottoms, the gravel will stick to them and you'll get sick of cleaning the stones out of the grooves. Great work getting all those raised beds made.
