I've spent the last week putting our plot to bed, just in time it turns out. All we have still in the ground is celeriac, garlic, Yakon and some sprouting. But then we are in Scotland. Always amazing to see just how much you produce.
I feel so happy watching you picking a bit of this and a bit of that to create a delicious tonics and salads. How satisfying and joyful. My current patch is tiny, though I’m growing as much as I can fit in! We’ve bought a bigger block in the country in south west Western Australia which I’m excited to be planning a permaculture garden.😄
We've got a Jackary 1000w and a 500w. Very similar to yours. So useful at the allotment. Just bear in mind we only get 800-1000 full charges per unit before the battery degrades. Solar panels essential.
Good to know, not sure on how many chareges with the Bluetti .. I will check - our original unit now only gets occational use in the campervan (as we don't get away that often)! but is still going strong - they are very handy units indeed 💚 Thanks for watching & you comments Pauline ✌️🌿
The frosts appear to have finished off my outdoor achocha, cape gooseberries, and nasturtium, and the loose leaf chicory isn't looking too healthy out there. The marigolds are on their way out and the yacon leaves have all wilted as well, so i may start succession harvesting the tubers soon, although i didn't earth them up early enough! Got all the potatoes in successfully before the cold hit so that's one bonus for once. My tromboncinos are still slowly curing on the windowsill, but suffice to say, being outdoors they grew nowhere near the size of yours. One amazing result for me this week (an Indiana Jones moment!) - i located my grandad's circa 40 year old long lost award winning tomato seeds at the back of a cupboard, so the big question now is whether they will germinate next spring. The pressure's on!
Hey Tony, its a bit of a tough time isn't is seeing the garden transition into winter. Our undercover Cape Gooseberries have been finished off even too!! Our Nasturtiums & Mashua leaves have been finished and the Yacon has now definitly been stopped in its triffid like tracks!! 😆 I think I did save our loose leaf chicory as I has thermacrop over it, but even out Chard which is normally hardy right through has a lot of damage, I think from where the snow sat on it thicker than just frost would. We need to get the leaves chopped and dropped and then get the mulch covering on our Yacon now before the next big frost also, so we can harvest tubers as needed. Wow - what a find with the tomato seeds 🙌 I hope you have success with those and will look forward to hearing in time 🙏 Thanks as always for your comments and for watching ✌️🌿
My advice would be to think outside of the box ... there is lots of unloved land not being used and unmaintained gardens that older people can no longer manage... 😌
Hi Dan and Laurie. Thankyou for another great video. Our plot is looking abit sad now, but its time to replenish the beds and get all excited for next seasons crops. After seeing your trombone courgettes, i decided to have a go. We had lots of the young courgettes in the warmer days and got two big squashes too! What a wonderful plant! Im so excited to grow lots more plants next year. My question though is, when using the squash, obviously its a huge thing,so you wont need it all in one go, how do you preserve it once it is cut? Did i see that you dip it in ash? (i have a woodburner, will that work?). does it then need to go in the fridge/cold area and how long will it last? Thankyou so much in advance. Keep warm . Have a great weekend.x
Hi Christina, Glad you tried the trombones 💚 When I have a big one to use up, I'll usually do BIG pot of soup that would use a good chunk, then I just put a bag (or ash sometimes) on the end and leave it on the bench, where i'll keep for a good few days and when small enough, in the fridge which will add another few days. I just keep adding it to cooking daily, in chunks or roasting, untill it all used - we do eat A LOT of veg here!! 🤣 ✌️🌿
No - we don't heat the tunnels, just add frost cloths on the coldest nights to the salads - brassica's di AMAZING last year with no protection at all too 👍
A fire cider a day keeps the chemtrails at bay! Another wonderful video guys - your content and enthusiasm is much appreciated 🌻😍 ... off to check out the music channel 👍
@@paulineprice9534 If unbleshished and the end doesn't go soft, we've had them go right through winter and into spring -- we had one right into summer this year from last years crops. It very much depends on the storage conditions though - as with most things 💚
We're currently trialing those high pitch sound devices in the polytunnel and monitoring with a camera. Last year we tried many different home made baits, but they get smart to it fast and stop taken it, unless they are desperate it seems, so mostly we monitor it and do what we can, we also spotted composted in are food scraps in the main composter and now do them seperately in a tumbler, which I share more on in this vid here ruclips.net/video/H2PRwxW_AOI/видео.html Just trying to work around them , whilst not encouraging them sometimes feels like the only thing we can do! Thanks for watching 💚 ✌️🌿

You are so blessed to have so much fresh vegetables for winter. I hope you will show us how to make smoked paprika.
Beautiful video, thankyou
🙏 Appreciate you watching ✌️🌿

What a lovely life. Would love to live like you
Keep working towards it - Its hard work, but it IS possible 💚 appreciate you watching 🙏✌️🌿
Sadly can’t afford anything in the UK
My advice would be to think outside of the box ... there is lots of unloved land not being used and unmaintained gardens that older people can no longer manage... 😌
I'm in the process of making biochar (new to me!) Anyone else use this?
Using woodburner ash and pond water for nutrients.
Something we are yet to experiment with - we will get to it though sometime 💚✌️
💚💚💚
They were pretty intense 'con' trails indeed. Totes normal.

Do you heat your polytunnel in winter? Here in Worcestershire, it's just too cold to grow much. We don't heat (too expensive).
No - we don't heat the tunnels, just add frost cloths on the coldest nights to the salads - brassica's di AMAZING last year with no protection at all too 👍

Loved it 😆💚 enjoy the music too - let us know your thoughts? Appreciate you watching & commenting 🙏✌️🌿
I've bought trombone courgette seeds from Real Seeds too ready for next year - can't wait !
Awesome 💚
@@freedomforestlife how long do they keep when cut? Do I need to preserve or freeze?

I notice you mentioned about rats previously. I am intrigued as to what do you do about them if anything?
