Looks great Alan! Impressed with the broccoli. Mine took about 60 days in the states. You must have some pretty good compost. Love the brassica cages. Wish we could get scaffolding netting here. I use Enviromesh, but boy, it is a sail in high wind. The scaffolding netting looks perfect for netting veg. Stay well!
Thanks for your comments mate 👍 I thought you may be able to get it on Amazon??? Good luck with trying to get it. Stay safe Alan
Cheers Alan, you planted them at exactly the right time before the hot weather came and they probably knew that and decided to flower early. I struggled for years and you get a perfect harvest in 5 weeks.......🤣 nature always finds away.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
LOL Thanks Terry, i was just wondering if i got lucky, but will be trying the same experiment next year.... plant them out 1st week of JUNE!!!

Hi Alan just seen your video and i enjoyed the content so much that i decided to Subscribe, i just have to go back and watch a few more videos now. I don't have a channel or allotment but i do have two 6x3 and 22" high raised beds in my garden on top of some flags. I also do alot of playlist of various Gardening videos, DIY and some Woodworking ones.
Looking forward to watching some older and newer videos 👍
Take Care and Stay Safe.

Hi Barry very sorry mate life has been hectic lately only catching up on comments now thanks for the comment mate hope you found some of the content useful when I get a breather I will pop over and check out the DIY mate. PS thanks for the sub Stay safe Alan
Brilliant job on the cage's , nice to see how to do a really good job when making them. Looking forward to seeing what else you get up to in your beautiful tidy garden. 🙂🥕🧅🥦. Take care Marion in Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you Marion for your comments much appreciated pleased you enjoyed the video stay safe Alan
Ooohhh gorgeous calabrese apparently they love the weather and nutrients and yes you’ll get side shoots 👍👍. Great job on the cages and will work a charm. I will have to brave the mosquitoes and get my winter brassica plants in beds very soon. Hopefully your keeping well and staying safe 👍
As always Ali thanks for your support and comments thats probably the key 🔑 plenty sunshine and nutrition we have not had much sunshine until lately if planted sooner they may not have been so good? But I was shocked how quickly they grew and produced. The cages will make life much easier now they are done it's just time consuming but hopefully a one time job for many years use. Stay safe and well Alan
Love this idea . Will use on my allotment, looks tidy ,neat ,no excess netting everywhere,mobile . Love it , love it ,love it . Off to buy wood now , thank you again .
Thanks Christine, pleased you found it useful, and thanks for the comment much appreciated Alan
Wow Alan your broccoli! looks amazing! Mine are crap! Been in longer than yours too, well done, it was my first attempt also. I won't give up 😁👍
Cheers Nick I may have just got very lucky I don't know? But I will try the same thing next year taking note when I planted them, we all get some bad crops mate it's normal if they all came out perfectly we would soon get bored lol keep on trying mate that's all we can do cheers
@@alansallotment hi Alan please do a video next year! I think my seed was old as I got given it from my partner's mum. Probably didn't help! What variety did you grow? I will get the same seed.👍😁
@@nickthegardener.1120 I will do mate 👍 I will plant some earlier and some at the same time as this year to see if it is the timing or variety, I will need to look back at the variety don't recal at this time 😀
@@alansallotment the variety that I tried to grow was ramoso.👍
@@nickthegardener.1120 ahh I don't like those mate and didn't have much luck with them either they are a cauliflower not broccoli?
Those cages are very smart, nice job. I do like the brassicas. Think I lucked out buying Cavolo Nero as the first attempt. Literally right by the front doorstep, I'm still grabbing a few leaves before cooking and they just keep growing.
I don't particularly like the cavolo Nero but they are good and give a very long harvest the same as the dwarf curling kale I just harvest the leaves also and they keep giving 😉
@@alansallotment oh I might have to check out dwarf kale. I've seen a normal curly kale at a market - it was huge
@@amyesworldcatherinesminime7945 yes my favourite I grow them from seed you may not be able to buy from stores as transplants
Good job Alan - I need to make some of these covers
Cheers Amir, that's a good idea mate they are worth the effort initially then will last a long time mate 👍
Hi Alan, great job building the frames, i want to do the same for my beds too. Calabrese looks really good. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Hi Christine, thanks for your comments, they are time consuming especially this time of year when everything is growing fast especially the weeds but worth it in the long run. Stay safe Alan
Congratulations over a thousands subs 🥰🥰
Thanks Ali 😊
Really good. I will be having a go at that as we have hoops and net which is a pain. Great video

Hi Alan, get job on the cages. I'm going to build some for our beds! Can I ask your bed sizes.
Thanks Jacqui , good luck with the builds let me know how you get on. Stay safe Alan
Hi Allan what variety of calabrese are they they're fantastic
Hi Chris I will need to check! I don't recall at the moment but not so sure it's anything to do with the variety? I'm going to try some same time plantings next year to see if it was the timing?
Hiy Allan I’m trayiling a couple that have flowered for tender stalk broccoli al let u know but they are quick
Hiya James I think I just got lucky to be honest with you but they they were fantastic and the have given more florets as well of a good size well pleased with them. Hope you mange to get some from yours mate 👍
