Supporting you makes me happy, here's my comment and I hope it benefits you well. Another winter suggestion: can you explain the best way to watch your videos? You noted something about retention on your videos. How do I avoid lessening the value of my watch time? I prefer to open various RUclips videos at once and have a line up to watch one after the other, but I feel like opening it another window might hurt your record or opening it and pausing it at any point. I'd love some education on how to support you best.
Kathy, I wish everyone wanted to learn this ! So thank you! So, to help a channel you love. Each video. Watch from start to finish. If you choose not to skip adverts even better. But i understand. Never fast forward parts as that massively destroys a channel..people dont realise. Rewinding and watching parts helps! This tells youtube you didnt like the video. Commenting straight away after the video and liking it. Sharing the video also helps a channel. All these things help so much! For example, because I've asked viewers to like and comment this week It's told youtube people have watched and commented. This then makes youtube push your video to new people. Which can then hopefully gain you more subscribers. Which then tells youtube again you are being liked.. it snowballs to being shown to more people and more people. It really does help so much.
@@TheGrowUpChannel That's good information. I have several RUclipsrs that I so appreciate and enjoy absorbing their knowledge and the thought of weakening their investment...well that sucks! I will do my best to watch you in a manner that helps you grow (up, hahaha). 😁
Enjoyed a lot thank you for the escapism my beautiful Mummy stage four terminal cancer and my dad’s dementia has accelerated. It’s such a tough time and my Allotment and start of my RUclips channel has had to take back seat but after the visits to my dad in a care home now and caring for my mum in her own home and trying to juggle my business as well viewing your videos helps me relax, even my Hubby who’s not a Gardener at all is able to sit with me and chill so thank you Danny so much
your life right now is incredibly stressful. It is good to have an escape, and Danny is a good one! Take time with your husband to do something fun. It might sound impossibly but even going for coffee, just the two of you will be a needed break. Take care of yourselves, caretaker burnout is all to real. lifting up your family.... ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🕯🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
It is a while since I saw one of your videos Danny! The rain might be falling, but look at all you have accomplished, Maybe a nice hot bowl of soup would lift you up. thank you!
Im in Somerset. We've had a bit more sun but very little rain since July. So the worst combination really. Dull days with cracked soil. Loved this video, the first I've seen. Good luck with the rest of the season. Mike
❤❤❤❤❤ from germany. My favourite bush bean is 'Amethys' it's very delicious with olive oil and another favourite of mine is 'Borlotti' it's a runner beans. Seeing you harvesting the Fig made me want to have them in my garden also❤❤❤❤ Thank you for being in the garden on the rainy day for us😊
I pinched a cutting from my brother’s fig tree in Corfu. Had it for years and this is the first year I’ve had fruit. Albeit just 2 figs! So if I get more fruit next year, I will make jam. Maybe a chutney could be good too, as we love cheese 😅
Hey, 2 figs is a good start! Each year, the harvest will increase ! It sometimes comes down to pruning too Good luck with your Fig tree, thats great news. Danny 🌱
@@TheGrowUpChannel thank you 🤩 I’ve never pruned it before and just been kept in one pot. So I’ll research when to prune and if it needs a bit of a bigger pot now.
Thank you, I have just taken a plot in Llanishen and found your video on whatvwinter veg to grow now. Inspired to plant instead of waiting till spring..
Only just come across your videos and I really enjoy them , you convey an enthusiasm that inspires me to get out in the garden. Subscribed now so looking forward to seeing more content 👍🏻
That's soo kind! Thank you! I'm curious what you like about them so much? As I don't want to remove things people are enjoying. I have no plans to discontinue.. I just find time is so precious at the moment... but I enjoy making them ❤️
Two varieties I grow in red flowered R. beans are Polestar and Firestorm. Both brilliant croppers and very tasty being string less if picked before reaching 8 inches. Happy gardening 🙂
I love the way you keep hiding behind your beans 😂 Fabulous video as always Danny, you're such an inspiration. Your personality shines through, you're such a natural and also a pretty good gardener too! Looking forward to seeing you soon for a cuppa or two☕ ❤
Hi Danny. I really look forward to your videos. You show us the successes and failures alike. You have a great personality and wear your heart on your sleeve, which I love. Your allotments are beautiful. This year, I've tried growing carrots in egg boxes. It's the only year I've had any success, so I'll be doing it that way from now on.
Why thank you so much! I try and keep it as realistic as possible. The wins and loses! So glad you enjoy the channel and my personality. Oh carrots in egg boxes sounds interesting!
@@TheGrowUpChannel Thanks Danny I'm making lots of courgette & potato soup which i love, your beans are better than mine so its swings & roundabouts with the crops this year xx
Your plots are amazing, I have a backyard Mini farm in AUSTRALIA which is fairly small but we get over quarter tonne of edible veggies each year, love it. Keep up the great work.
Hi Danny. Time for me to call in a favour. Remember when I did a successful rain dance for you? Well now I need some of your delightful, refreshing rain. If you are able to arrange that I would be so very grateful to you 😉🤣 Thanks for another superbly entertaining and enjoyable video. I hope your beans tasted all the better for you harvesting them during the rainfest xx
No one can accuse you of being a fair-weather gardenerDanny! Good grief! You put me to shame hehe. I have to say the plots look so lush in the wet, but picking anything is the rain is a mission. I have a runner beans variety suggestion for you. I changed my red flowered runner beans to Scarlet Empire rather than the classic Scarlet Emperor. They stay tender even when a little bit too big. And don’t go as leathery . Nice tasting bean. I have struggled with my runners this year mainly because the snails have preferred them to the climbing French. I have them in the same bed, the runners are near my neighbours rather overgrown raspberry bed next door and it is full of snails so the runners are getting hit. Still getting some but I have many more French beans at the moment. Hope you get some sunny days to spend with Leo this week.
Olà Danny, I love to watch your videos about your plots. I am living in Portugal so there are a lot of differences between your gardening and mine, but that is just what makes it so nice. Learning and getting inspired, I love it.
Hello Portugal! That's so nice of you to say! I think sometimes people.gte wrapped up on their own area of growing and not learn other climates which.. as we've seen is changing for us all. Our climate isn't the same as 30 years ago. Winters are milder and pests are overwintering.. not to mention the rain and hotter summers are back. Thank you for watching! Danny 🌱
Ahhh, that glamorous garden life! 😜 Even in the rain your plot looks great. Thanks for taking one for the team and getting soaked for us! I've not had good luck with runner beans, but maybe I'll try some next year. I just sowed my 3rd succession of bush beans. Hope you enjoyed your visit with Leo!
Thank you lea! Yes it was.. glamorous for sure haha! I have poor years with beans & excellent years.. I'm glad this year was great. Bush beans, I'm hit & miss with. We had a great weekend together. He's getting so tall now! Danny 🌱
I absolutely love your videos. Your gardens look beautiful and you’re enjoying your gorgeous produce. All your hard work gives you great rewards. I particularly like meeting your friends and seeing what a lovely network of friends you have.
try Sunset its an Apricot flowered runner. Used to be rare and only available from HSL but its made it back into commercial production Worth growing on a teepee of its own just for the flowers let alone the stringless beans, and Meraviglia Di Venezia Climbing French bean Lovely golden yellow flat pods up to 10" long ... big fat beans in and no strings.
I am in the SE in Kent and would love to swap some of our sun for some of your beautiful rain. Plants love rainwater much more than tap. Your plots look good as usual. I already subscribe to the excellent youtubers you mention. I am happy you will continue the 'lives' this winter. Take care.
Hi Danny. As I sit here at 23:40 hrs in my comfortable armchair, having come from the allotment at 10pm, I agree with you about the heat, the wet and the muck. My local LIDL has got used to me turning up in my muck and know where I've just come from laugh. I do watch your videos and have watched your lives. I'm here in the background with a like and occasionally a comment. Don't get up on any ladders as I think you've been in the wars enough this year. I've had my first figs this year. I can get used to it and perhaps, with a glass of vodka. Anyhoo, great update Danny. Elaine 🌱 🌱
Haha thanks Elaine..my local shops are used to me turning up covered in dirt too 😂 I've stopped apologising now.. they're used to it. Haha. Thank you for watching and commenting. Haha I'm avoiding ladders... for now.. Danny 🌱
Wonderful! Keep your face known at a few sites. Pop there on weekends in the morning if they have a committee and make friends. You'll have a better success rate of getting a plot. Trust me haha
Cliff and Diane at Castle Hill Gardens. You won't find a more experienced grower than Cliff on the whole of youtube. Ex nursery owner and his content is so informative and interesting. I learn something every week and I've been growing my own for 18 years! 👍
My runner bean archway in the garden looks lovely! Although I cannot seem to grow a brassica, every year I try and fail. Thank you for all the inspiration 😊
Oh that's some good news!!! My advice would be.. grow them in module trays (if you aren't until they are established and strong plants) and also lime the plant hole (use gloves) before planting and firm them down with your feet. Brassicas hate soft fluffy soil. They will rock and get stressed. Which then makes them go to flower. Also a good veggie mesh to net them from day one. I never risk them. Keeps out all the pests. Hope this helps. I think I'll record a video all about brassicas next year 😊 Danny 🌱
@@TheGrowUpChannel I'm planning on putting some veg into a county show in September, not sure I'll have much to show at this rate! Thank you for the advice 👍
New to veggie growing, stumbled on your videos and RUclips has blessed me! Thanks so much, your way of explaining things in a realistic and relaxed manner is amazing! 😊
So glad to hear the lives will be back 😁. I absolutely hate the winter months so it does me the world of good having the lives to cheer me up each week. Keep doing what you're doing Danny, you're inspiring so many people.
Wow insane amounts of rain ☔️ we have had 2 days in all of July and maybe a few forecast for August. You’re getting loads of harvests and sowing done. I’m on the fence about what to do because I am making a bit of a change to make room for my vegepods. Have a marvellous and hopefully dry week ahead Benny, ❤ Jackie ☁️🇨🇦
Hi Danny, love the introduction, music is lovely, the rain has been never ending, you are not on your own with difficulty in growing regular plants too. The weather had been so unpredictable this year. Love your videos, always plenty of content and fun too. Keep going & you will fly through Uni. Enjoy your Sunday lunch celebrating your Mum & Dads Birthdays 🎉 Thanks for sharing and take care 😅
just clearing last of the onions, cutting back strawberry plants and some flowers. I was going to mulch and leave the beds but i'm going to try some winter veggies!
Encourage your figs to produce earlier crop by pinching out the tips of branches when the figs are pea sized,good pruning is also essential too many branches trying to produce fruit strain the tree we don't have a long enough warm weather to ripen all the figs,unripe figs should all be removed at the end of the season,in warm climate these figlets will mature in to the first fig harvest be it a small one,as most figs produce two harvests a year,but this is England,also as figs don't need pollinators to set fruit, in colder areas if your tree is small enough you can help ripen the fruit by covering the tree with fleece or thermowrap,that's worked for me and it kept the birds of too,hope that's helpful,🥰
Danny, what a dreadful day - others would probably say Nah, I'll wait until the sun comes out! But you work like a trojan on your plots and I admire your hard work! It will improve again I'm sure and let's face it, Welsh rain is legendary!😄😄
Haha thank you Sue. These comments really do help me plod through. Sometimes... just know.. I film just for you guys! Other times for me haha but this rainy one.. was 100% for the viewers haha as I was so wet 😂😂😂 I do enjoy it though. Come rain or shine ❤️ Danny 🌱
Runner beans…so many beans! And can’t wait for the sweetcorn! Parsnips look great, and at last for the 1st time in 6 yrs ….. carrots! Love all your content!

@@TheGrowUpChannel I'm planning on putting some veg into a county show in September, not sure I'll have much to show at this rate! Thank you for the advice 👍
Good luck with it! Danny 🌱

Wow insane amounts of rain ☔️ we have had 2 days in all of July and maybe a few forecast for August. You’re getting loads of harvests and sowing done. I’m on the fence about what to do because I am making a bit of a change to make room for my vegepods. Have a marvellous and hopefully dry week ahead Benny, ❤ Jackie ☁️🇨🇦
Ooh exciting! I used to want a veggiepod. Maybe one day! Happy Growing ali 😀

Hi. Loving your videos. Wish my figs were as good as yours. Maybe next year. Keep up the good work.
Encourage your figs to produce earlier crop by pinching out the tips of branches when the figs are pea sized,good pruning is also essential too many branches trying to produce fruit strain the tree we don't have a long enough warm weather to ripen all the figs,unripe figs should all be removed at the end of the season,in warm climate these figlets will mature in to the first fig harvest be it a small one,as most figs produce two harvests a year,but this is England,also as figs don't need pollinators to set fruit, in colder areas if your tree is small enough you can help ripen the fruit by covering the tree with fleece or thermowrap,that's worked for me and it kept the birds of too,hope that's helpful,🥰
Why thank you very much Anna!
❤ Thank you. Lovely garden 😊
So nice of you. Thank you very much..Danny 🌱
Danny, what a dreadful day - others would probably say Nah, I'll wait until the sun comes out! But you work like a trojan on your plots and I admire your hard work! It will improve again I'm sure and let's face it, Welsh rain is legendary!😄😄
