Thank you
Happy new year, I hope you’re not feeling too cold🥶. Your brassicas are looking amazing, so healthy!
Yes, will try some additional things next year.
👍👍👍
Wow seedlings look so healthy 😮
Yes, I’m pleased and will do more varieties next year.
Happy New Year Teresa hope you had a lovely Christmas 🎄, Ali ☔️🥶🇨🇦
Happy new year! We are just about to have a cold snap.
🎅🎅🎅
Merry Christmas, I hope you are saving a lovely day. It looks like you have plenty still growing on your plot which is great! I hope it gave you a great Christmas harvest 😋😊🎄🤶
Thank you! You too!
Merry Christmas Teresa, hope it is a safe and quiet one, Ali 🎄🧑🎄🇨🇦
Same to you! Have a wonderful festive period.
Lovely introduction to your plot. It seems you have to contend with plenty of challenges on your plot!😢 I hope you feel you are getting more on top of them now😊
Thank you! 😊
Hello, my algorithm brought you to my feed and I have subscribed. You worked wonders on your carrot bed and I didn’t know about removing carrot leaves to deter slugs and snail so might give it a go👍
Thank you for subscribing and good luck with your carrots 🥕
👍👍👍
Awesome job on the channel Teresa it will grow even more now it’s winter and gardeners are looking for great garden content while stuck indoors. Sorry you’ve not been well but glad you’re on the mend. You certainly have some amazing things still growing in November, I am on down time growing 😂 it’s just too wet and cold. Have a fab weekend ahead and take care, Ali 🌧️🥶🇨🇦
Thanks so much. Just got to catch up now 🤣
Sorry youve been so ill, think quite a lot of us have reacted to the covid jab. Your greenhouse looks lovely, hope the slugs give up and leave !
Thank you for your well wishes. Frustrating getting flu straight after.
Does peppermint chard taste of peppermint? Thank you for your informative and human videos. 👏
No Not at all but they do look beautiful and colour to a salad when picked young or to the plate if left to mature.
Hi, new subscriber here! Great video! I am putting my winter garlic in today! Have a great weekend! 😊
👍👍👍
Good to see you back Teresa 👍. As of today we are getting winter weather 😢 absolutely pouring rain and super high winds. Not all bad 😂 it means I can have a cuppa and catch up. Super harvests you’re still getting. Yes I agree some clearing up is therapeutic and it gives us space for new things. Have a great week ahead, Ali ☔️☔️☔️🇨🇦
Heavy rain and strong winds for a few days, then mild and dry. Just dashed between the weather.
Here almost all seed packets don’t have a nice sealed container inside so I have now bought for mine little plastic sealable bags that I then put in the paper one with the details on, Ali ☔️🇨🇦
As I catch up Teresa I am finding what a very special person you are 🥰. I must say there was not a lot of other people that would have thought of other quite s much as you, but I find gardeners are for the most part a very very special breed of folk. Thank you for your kindness, Ali ☔️☔️🥶🇨🇦 Ps I know Simon at Plot 97a does some food bank donations also 👍as does Manda Moo
Thank you for your kind comments. I continually looking for ways to fund the work, but I have a skill in growing food and if that can help feed others I’m pleased to give it.
Does look like a very tidy allotment which is always a bonus, Ali 🌞🥶🇨🇦
😂 love it half veg day 👍, Ali 🌞🥶🇨🇦
I labelled everything this year, yeah me 😂😂 the sunshine had other ideas and they all faded 🤦♀️. I grew one called Baby Blue Hubbard similar to Crown Prince but smaller. Catching on your videos new sub, Ali 🌞🥶🇨🇦
Just harvested the pumpkin, now to taste them!
Good amount of pumpkins you have. Manages to grow Kabocha and Red Kuri both delicious roasted! 😊
Yes, I like them. They are hard to beat.
I'm in the states, where I know people order seeds for tiny butternut squashes, I think htey're called honey nut? Row 7 is the seed supplier, I think. My Kabochas are a nice small size.
We have a small long squash called honey boat, do you think it could be the same thing? I’ll take a look at the site. Thank you.
@@londonorganicgrower8538 I think that might be a delicata variety - delicious with an edible rind, but doesn’t keep very long.
😂 so I’m not the only one who forgets to label!
Yes, what a pain it’s been.
"and sometimes we get it very wrong." So true of plants, and life. Thank you for sharing. I hope you will show us what you are doing for overwintering. 🙂
Thank you, I will
"Happy Growing" I love it!
Thank you for this video. I love the knowledge you share but am concerned about your left hand. Your watch is on too tight, cutting off proper blood flow to your left hand. You can do serious damage if you don't restore the blood flow. Please put your watch on a string around your neck if you have to. I need you to take care of yourself so I can see more gardening videos. 🙂
Thank you for your concern 😊
where I buy the seeds
I’ve put a list of seed suppliers in the information section, click on more. Let me know what you buy.
Where can we get the seeds . We would like to try them, for a change. Thank you.
I put a list of seed suppliers in the information just under the title of the video… click on more.
Love your garden ma'am❤
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
Thank you
😂 I know what you mean about red tomatoes
Great video compost looks great. Amazing onions be interested to know what you think of the taste.
when do you kno2 if a potatos ready to harvist
Depends if they are 1st , 2nd earlier or main crop potatoes. I mainly grow second earlies so I normally wait until the green growth starts to collapse and go yellow. Most potatoes will give you a rough number of growing weeks, lift one plant and have a look.
Thankyou :) inspired me to plant some more veg for the winter
So nice of you
Lovely update ☺️ We’ve all been busy so don’t worry 😊
Hello, I just did some lettuce 2 days ago in a little trays with 5 types, and 3 were already up this morning and I pricked out a load of Tom Thumbs, which are small butterheads I think, and a few of the other varieties. I'm with you on recycling trays and the ones like you used with the hinged lids are excellent for those little seeds. It's been a cold soggy spring, so we are definitely due some good weather. X
Wonderful! Nice to have a selection.
This is great! Lettuces/ salad leaves are so expensive to buy in the shops and growing gives us a fantastic range of different varieties.
Absolutely! And you can keep them going with succession sowing
Hello. I have sown so many varieties of tomatoes this year. I can't resist it because I watch people talk about their varieties and I get inspired. I have been tempted because Thompson and Morgan have been regularly doing price cuts, so I got some good varieties quite cheaply, such as Sungold F1, which was less than £1 for a packet. There were some other varieties too. I also had seeds from other years. Last year a friend grew Alicante, and when everybody got blight down the allotments, her Alicante were fine, so I saved seeds and they have germinated better than newly bought Alicante seeds from a selection pack. The others are Red Cherry, Red Robin, San Marzano, Sun Cherry F1, Vintage Wine, Brandywine Yellow, Tumbling Tom, Super Marmande, Ruby Falls, Celebrity, Lemoncito F1, Buffalo Beefsteak, Sweet Success F1, Divinity, Sweet Baby, and a few others I can't remember. I had requests from people, and I always give plants to my mother-in-law and others. I sowed some peppers, chilli and sweet ones, and some Aubergine, of which some varieties have failed completely. This year has been different because I have a larger greenhouse than one I had years ago. I don't know how I am managing but the greenhouse glass will be bulging, what with all the other plants I sowed, and I have only just started on some other types of vegetables, plus flowers. Thanks for the video.
Now you have to find somewhere to plant them!
Hi. I haven't grown sweet potatoes yet, but every year I think about it. I like the conservatory set up, all by the window with light and warmth. A great nursery for the plants. I keep thinking the sun is coming out, but then the clouds come and the rain starts. Come on better weather, we've all had enough of winter. X
Yes, I’ve had enough of the rain now.
I’ve been learning a lot watching all your videos can’t wait to start growing my vegetables
All your little seedlings look so good! I love growing peas those grow great (usually) for me.
Hello. glad your holiday was good. Your plants are doing well. I'm looking forward to seeing how all your stuff grows. Considering we are having a mostly cloudy, cold, wet March so far, I think we will all be glad when the Spring really starts to warm up. I almost got lulled into a false sense of security when the sun was out for hours and I put a few things in the greenhouse, only to go running back up the garden yesterday almost kicking myself for getting confident. I should have known better, but that's the problem with us gardeners and we can't help ourselves sometimes. I've had some success and failures so far, with peppers looking promising, and my tomatoes are looking purple, so I have sown back-ups. Have a good week, and thanks for the video. X
I had hoped the weather would have improved on my return. Now comes the mammoth task of potting them up in the hope it starts to get warmer and stops raining.
Everything looks great, very healthy seedlings 🌱 good job 👍🏽
Hi. I have watched your videos from the beginning now, so I have caught up and will be watching your videos as you bring them out hopefully. I just finished repairing my greenhouse, bar 1 piece of glass and the staging on one side still to put together. I have been gardening and growing veg a long time now, but I really enjoy watching people do their allotments. I gave up mine years ago for health reasons. Anyway, I have a friend with an allotment so I go there on average a few hours every Wednesday during the Spring, Summer, and a little into the Autumn to take young plants and help out where I physically am able to. Thanks for your videos, and I wish you all the best as chair of the committee at your allotment. Also, I want to say how fantastic it is you are growing food to help those less fortunate. You and your team will no doubt help a lot of families. X
Thank you for joining me and pleased to hear you enjoyed them. I hope you keep watching, I’m pleased you’re still growing food it’s a wonderful, satisfying thing to do. I’m always trying to encourage people to grow something they can eat and gain another skill.
Hi. Last year (2023) I did 3 sisters extended family. Corn, Beans, Butternuts, Tomatoes, Lettuce, and Pak Choi. Totally impractical but it was because I can't throw plants away haha. RE potatoes, I feel it's always worth it for variety and that moment when you harvest. Only a few times among many have I had failures, and I bet there is seldom a time when such potatoes don't taste amazing. Thanks for the video. X
I remember reading that the three sisters was done as it was because they left the beans to produce the bean rather than the pod. Thanks for the video. X
Hi. This Taro is also called an Eddoe. Tesco sell them these days. They are delicious in stews made with tomatoes and other vegetables. I never tried sprouting one yet, but you've inspired me to try. Thanks for the video. X
Hi. I love Jerusalem artichokes. You should have said, happy growing and happy blowing! Thanks for the video. X
Hi. Your compost setup is good. I had a huge one on each plot when I had allotments. I grew a 12 stone pumpkin one year on one of them. Thanks for the video. X
