    Traditionally, home vegetable gardens are cleaned up and closed up the first week of September in my .region of southern Ontario, Canada. (Growing time May 24-Sept 5)
    Temperatures now in the autumn vary from 5C-11C at night 10 -19C daytime and first frost is around October 1-10 and hard frost a few weeks later.
    Right now we are experiencing steady 13 C day/night and flooding continuous rains.
    For a few years, I have been experimenting with plants and various techniques (vertical growing, successive sowing, low tunnels, intensive planting, soil improvement, etc) to extend the season and increase productivity.
    Shortly I will be putting in some homemade low tunnels.
    I have also planted new seed in the last month for potential cool weather crops (lettuce, spinach, swiss chard , kale, Chinese cabbage, radish, etc) and it is freaking out the other community gardeners (see above).
    Both of my gardens are absolutely spilling over with fall produce and it is baffling those who currently have bare soil and think all should have been cleared out weeks ago.
    I have been gifting various people in the village with overflowing baskets of produce all summer and continue now- including a "one year welcome to the community anniversary" pile of vegetables for a vegan.
    I am barely keeping up with harvesting produce and eating, sharing and preserving the crops.

    Here on the south coast my garden problems are the opposite to yours. Too hot for many seeds to germinate. Cucumbers and runner beans cooked in the hat. French beans fared better. Nothing underground eg carrots and beetroot. Celery and celeriac a write-off. BUT amzing crop of tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and chillies and my lemon tree (6 years old and destined for the compost) went mad, produced a mass of flowers and 15 lemons -which are ripening. It's been like living in the Med!

      Hi Roger, your spring onions will be fine and should grow well, Leeks, White Onions and Parsnips should really have been planted months ago now.

Thanks for the encouragement. May I ask how deep your green seed trays are? I’m trying to find something similar in Canada and having little luck! I’m thinking of putting drainage holes in plastic letter tray bins that are 7 cm deep. I don’t know if they are food grade or not. Stuff is so flimsy now! BC Canada

    Hi Steve, first time for watching you.
    I love gardening and have lots of seeds to sow but don't have a poly tunnel or a greenhouse. I have some lettuce that I will try outdoors, it's a winter hardy one, maybe even try some carrots. One question, I have one pepper plant first time I've grown them, currently outdoors in a pot. I think I need to bring it indoors and cut back for spring, can it survive in an unheated greenhouse over winter?

    Hi Steve. Our weather in Oxfordshire has been very hot for weeks with little rain so plenty of watering (with a can). About 2 weeks ago sowed various lettuces, chard, spinach and parsley plus spring onions. As it was so hot I brought seed trays in to house where hopefully it was a little cooler. Most things germinated other than the spinach. However, I moved outside to cold frame and now everything is coming up and doing well. No sign of parsley yet but that tends to be a little slow. Also sowed a couple of buckets with Charlotte potatoes for Christmas all being well. How did your potatoe experiment turnout with the stacking buckets?

    Hi Steve, i am a new follower and love the ideas and advise you have for growing under under cover. I wanted to ask your thoughts on using layers of grass clippings on raised bed in the polytunnels to help keep in moisture and add fibre to the soil? Would it attract slugs? Cheers.

    • @GreenSideUp
      @GreenSideUp  2 года назад +2

      Welcome here, using grass as mulch is only something I have ever done on a very small scale before, the tops of a few pots or a small area of bed, so I have no real experience to answer with. I have always used grass clipping in my compost heap instead where (to me) they are more important to help a heap heat up quite quickly. GRass would work very well as a mulch I think but as for it attracting slugs, I am not so sure. Slugs are in all soil, yes the do like to congregate in dark damp areas, which could be hundreds of areas along with your grass mulch. Best thing to do would be to try an area of your tunnel if you are unsure of doing all of it. I have at least one Toad in all of my tunnels because at this time of the year if I find one out on the plot during the Autumn tidy up, I put it in the tunnel and they live there year round quite happily, one has a particulr marking on its head and has been there three years!!...Steve...🙂
