- Hi folks! Trying to get back into the swing of things after taking a real break from the plot. Really enjoyable to be ripping out and clearing the beds.

I'm not very regular at posting and mostly just take pictures of insects and butterflies and nice things like that: / naturally_jb
I swore off putting cardboard with wood chips last year. Your conclusion is the very reason! So much work!
Good to see you back 😀
I've just had a week off and have been able to blitz the allotment and feel much better about it. Started digging and turning my compost heaps and mulching beds, as they get cleared. It's amazing what a few relaxed days and good weather can do. Jo Devon 🙂
Regardless of all the minor gardening setbacks that we all experience every year, you'll look back on this season and once again be very proud of everything you've achieved. A ton of hard work, but very rewarding.
Maybe next year scale back a bit on the number of plants under cover and give them (and you) a little more breathing space.
Back in action! Good to see ya
The sunny weather has made such a difference! I've made a great start cleaning / clearing the beds, seeing to the compost heap and thoroughly cleaning the greenhouse. Looking forward to the spring now - I don't intend to do much until then!
'You could feed an army with that' love it, more sarcasm please 😂
We had a strange year here for Zucchini (Courgettes) with very little production. My garden friends were complaining about it and I thought if we had a Potty-Mouth Garden Club "PNW-US version" I'd have a joke that Zucchini never makes you people happy! "Too many - how will we eat them all?!", "They grow too fast - yesterday it was the size of a pencil, today a Zeppelin!", "I'm not planting more than one ever again!"....and this year "Why didn't I get more Zucchini and why so small?!" 😂😂😂
Hi JB, a lot of mould on your pkants, I've never hears of it before. Peppers & chillies are looking good. Nice to see you back on your plot. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
JB I Wish you every success with the rest of your harvest 💕🤩
Aww glad you're back ❤
Good to see you back and smiling , house looks very good lots of hard work gone into it but certainly has paid off . I live in Cornwall, again it’s been a terrible growing year ,nice to have this mini heat wave but the evening have been extremely cold .
Good to you back! You look a lot happier in this video 😊 I'm new to gardening and having a channel, I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets carried away talking having long videos to edit😆 I'm intrigued as to what you do about your bindweed, I have loads in my garden and have pretty much given up trying to get rid of it!
Good to see you back JB. The nice weather certainly makes a difference to our mood. My plot has totally got away from me but hey ho. I've had successes and failures, its been a very strange year, but I'm taking away the good and looking forward to a better season next year. Your chillies are fab!!
I was sulking because my chili plants for 2 months were micro but when I replanted them in my own compost soil they grew like crazy in one month. Well, I said that I think the seeds were faulty. No. It was soil which I bought in the garden center. I am mad like hell that I waited 2 months for replanting in July. I have fruits but I don't know if they will mature before winter. Oh well, maybe I try to winter them for next year in my home greenhouse.
Its always ups and downs on the allotment but hopefully it's more ups
I always try to combat humidity It’s the biggest issue with most spaces I’ve ever had Im always surprised gardening channels never cover this issue 😂
I talk about the importance of ventilation all the time - very important. For most of summer I've had the greenhouses as wide open as possible, but there's not much I can do in the tunnel without cutting into it and getting crazy!
We’ve been having lovely days in West Yorkshire, although it is cold at night the days have been sunny. I only took on my neglected plot in May and I am harvesting every week, I’m living off courgettes 😬
Well.done
had the same this year small onions it's like that scary movie quote take my small hand take my small onions lmao
Awesome chillies
I'm with you on the low mood. Still seeding but not weeding😝 That aubergine is passed, not shiny anymore.
Too bad about the tomato plants 😥But 10 liter is a lot of "sauce"! Nice chili jungle 😍And those Lemon StarrBurst phenos! 🤩Cool with the California Wonder that grew around the stem. Looked kinda funky hehe. My parents had the same thing with their plum tree. I remember taking a picture earlier this year when it looked like there would be plenty of plums. I'm pretty sure they haven't actually had a single one though...
Made my day! x
It's so good to see someone so industrious, caring and committed. And you get a harvest as well!
I found several small snails inside of a couple of my peppers which started them rotting
I do wonder if some of the flesh damage has been from slugs and snails nibbling on it
In the car I've got the petrol, a sign of intent, for a second I thought you were going for the burn it all down approach.😀
Haahhahahaahhaa
For the weeds coming in from the neighboring plot can you use a torch? It can kill the vines and not poison everything? I use one for my garden perimeter
Good to see you back and feeling the Lottie vibe again JB. Remember there is always next year. I wonder if botritus is a result of old tomato plants ie we sowed them back in early January didn’t we? I’m sow😅big in end Feb next year.
Nitrites? I didn't sow mine until mid March! I always start mine a bit later as I dont have space indoors
Do pod grows create high humidity. High humidity is definitely not good for toms or most plants confined plastic Who knows but I’m so so pleased I haven’t got a polytunnel 🤩🤩😂
How do you treat the greenhouse and polytunnel after blight? Do you have to disinfect it in some way after harvesting and removing all the plants?
Good question - thankfully the spores can only survive on living tissue so you don't have to worry about composting it or going nuclear trying to clean.
@@JBNat thanks JB. Hope your next growing season is blight free
Ohh spidermites, horrid things, absolutely smothered my Physalis plants and auberinges (first year growing both of those) but even so, I still managed to get a harvest from them both. It's just the plants looked awful. On the Physalis (groundcherry/goldenberry/cape gooseberry) I'm talking like whole branches of leaves encased in the webbing - just insane. And, I had done 2 bombs at the start of the years too (A chemical and garlic one) and cleaned out the greenhouse, swept, dusted, hoovered etc.. but obviously made no difference.
Apparently spider mites are particularly overly fond of Physalis and aubergines. Probs was they were then spread onto all my young tomatoes and sweet peppers. I literally have no idea how it's going to be possible to grow anything decently in there if they keep coming back, so I might just have to whack everything outside as soon as weather warms up in spring and hope for the best next year.
Aubergines are at their best when picked when the skin is still smooth and has a shine, don't leave them too long or they go dull and then that means bitter.
Thank you for the harvesting tip! Really sorry to hear about the spider mites. They are an absolute menace. Makes sense that they were all over my ground cherry though.
❤
The last time I was up here repeated how many times 😂
I couldn't believe the difference!!
Lying on the polytunnel floor - buy cheap Yoga mats.
