Julys Garden Tour: Waiting for Warmth & Sunshine!

Join me for a tour of my less-than-perfect garden in this unusually challenging growing season. Watch as I navigate through stunted vegetables, sluggish strawberries, and an army of slugs, all thanks to a misbehaving jet stream and a serious lack of sunshine. But it's not all doom and gloom! Discover the unexpected lessons learned, the triumphs in adversity, and why a sense of humor might be the most important tool in any gardener's shed. Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or a curious novice, this video offers a relatable look at gardening resilience with a distinctly British twist. Grab a cuppa and let's commiserate about the weather - it's practically a national pastime!

This is our first year in our garden, massive rush to get everything in during Feb/Mar. I made my wife some raised beds out of old water tanks we found in the loft and a donated IBC and that's helped mitigate a lot. Our garden was left for a long while, and we are focusing on more of a wildlife focused garden, literally put in the pond yesterday another water tank :D Benefits of having a more wild permaculture garden I think is it marginalises the massive sways in weather we now have. Looking like we're going to get a bout of sun this week though, hopefully it lasts long enough that will shift the evaporative water cycle we've endured this year.
