Those grow lights are fabulous aren't they. We don't have any so a good excuse not to start sowing just yet 😂 I'm amazed at how you treated all the plants so precious, well done 👍👏👏👏 Good luck with the competition. Have a great week both ❤ xx
Thanks lovely Linda 🫶 yeah once you start 😂😂 I need the distraction!! I need kind and gentle vibes around my plants 🌱and they in return keep me calm ❤ Allie & Tricia xx 🥰
Your Ailsa Craigs will catch up Allie, you have space now, give it another few weeks and you wont have any space with the onions lol. Steve is taking names and payments for The SSPC2025 if yous are doing it this year ( yous will be 😉). You will probably find it easier to put the stake into the pot first then add the clip around the onions. If they are 30 cm stakes you might consider buying some 60 cm stakes for when they grow and yes you will want quite a few more clips. Great video Allie, hope you are doing ok 👍 x
Thanks Nick, still watching your video. Love your drone and thinking DJI or your one 🤔 My strawberry bed looks just like yours !! I do want to tidy it soon.
@TheRightPearPlot check out the DJI neo it's cheaper and better than mine. They just brought out a new drone last week called the flip but it's expensive and not as good as the mini 4. Check out some reviews 👍🙏👌❤️😁
Hi Allie, the chillis look good size already, that's a full on growing station with the second shelf but it's something that you can use every year now.
Hi Allie, my seeds have germinated for the challenge, I'm not using heat or light, I sowed mine 28/12/24 and they are looking ok, yours are looking great and hope you are keeping well, take care Steve
@@SteveC-074 hey Steve, so glad I’ve had the onions 🧅 to pamper, they keep me going so I’m grateful to have them to pamper to. I’m doing okay thank you for asking. Slowly getting there x
You definitely have my support 100% Allie on everything, my fingers and anything else is crossed for you. TC. Say hi to Tricia for me. Barry (Wirral) xx
Onions looking good and thank you for the link ❤not sure if I will or won’t use them as I’m still trying to decide what I am going to do with them whilst I’m away 😅
Hi Allie I think you are going to be a dark horse in the challenge with your supper soil mix. What you should do to make life easier is put the cane in the pot first then put the clip on. When are you going to start to giving them a feed. Good luck. 👍👍👍👍👍🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅
Hey you are so kind Robert, I can only try my best. Jimmy said the same about the sticks, but I tried that and I felt like I was going to damage the onions 🧅 🤣 felt I had sausage fingers and feared for my beloved onions 🧅 I’ve not been as ruthless as most, yet 😆 but I know space Will be an issue in a wee while x. 🫶🙏🏼🥰
Hey Allie hope you are well. Those onions look great! Ours (last years boxing day Potty mouth challenge) ones have come up and starting to have a daunting realisation of having to pot them up soon! lol I currently have those one large trays from B&Q with potatoes chitting in cups. I also have a large tray with 72 sugarsnap and winter peas I am just sowing in the utility area. I was saying to hubby I need to buy or build some sort of shelving unit I can have in the utility area that I can take down and is narrow enough to get pass/ open the downstairs loo door. I am really jealous of your workshop. Ours isn't as big and has 3 shelves in a L shape and a fridge freezer. I really want to clear it out a bit more so there is more space for canning stuff and veg. There is a lot of tools though so might be hard. Do you get much damp in there? We need to do some work around the window as there are gaps and have a proper air vent. Can get quite hot in there during the summer so usually cover the window to keep the sun out. Anyway, keep up the good work! x
Ooh no damp in there at all, Tricia is a damp expert and does what she needs to to eliminate that risk. We are so fortunate to have lots of storage areas, yes Tricia has many a tool too and we have to juggle at this time of year to make enough seedling space. Last couple of years we've even brought in a shelving unit into the dinning area. This is usually for the tomatoes and peppers, so I think with the onion and pepper challenge we will have to do this again. I am going to pot on 4 chillies today for the chilli challenge, they are outgrowing their little tray. Potatoes are going a bit wild, some already have longer chits than I would like....may have to find room in the other porch to have them laid out in some daylight. have a beautiful Sunday x A x
@@myrustygarden thanks Ali, dead would be good in some instances! But so glad your onions 🧅 are still with us. I’ve now got chillies 🌶️ to baby as well. Good to be busy and distracted xx love you 🥰 Allie Tricia and Leo xxx 😘
Looking good Allie 👍 I'm going to have to make more space for chillies now. Its a fiddly job with the onions I think. Wait until they get a bit bigger 😁🧅 I've got yellow sticky things on order for fungus gnats so fingers crossed, I haven't got any. I've stuck up a moth trap which I had hanging around. Keep up the good work. Elaine 👍🧅🌶

Hi Allie,

@@peggyhelblingsgardenwhatyo7920 thanks Peggy, calm and gentle is where I want to be right now. Worms and plants are my go to xx
Allie you look busy busy with the onions, I am finding they take up more time than expected, but it’s good fun 🌱😂👍
@@GanggangPeanut I am great with the distraction they are providing for me right now. I can protect them 🫶🥰
Look really good Allie fingers crossed for you in the competition 😊

@@RobinGardens thanks Robin, The onions are saving me right now x
Ah they look so good Allie 😊. I need to order some of the clips for when they get bigger (hopefully lol ) x
@@debz_vegplot thanks Debz x yeah thinking I need more too!! They look massive in box but once twisted they come good 👍🏼
Hi Allie, the chillis look good size already, that's a full on growing station with the second shelf but it's something that you can use every year now.
I usually set this up inside in February 🤣 started early this year!!

I think we're having similar results with the ailsa craig and bedford champ. Oh well...
@@dogontheplot their loss 🤣🤣 missing out aren’t they

I hear you 🤣 oh and then there will be the tomatoes 🍅 🤣🤣🤣
I am going to put some vermiculite in the pots to see if that helps with the gnats too 🙏🏼🫶
@TheRightPearPlot I saw someone on insta with tomato plants up. It's too early I think.
That’s some balancing act you have going on there Allie. 🧅👍
It’s sturdy enough to which I’m glad about Pete!!
