I was getting worried watching you handle the possible blighty potatoes and then touching your tomatoes. Fingers crossed you get away with it sir.
Me too, I was yelling at the screen "Don't touch it!!" but he didn't hear me...😟
The last two seasons I have struggled with carrots, I have tried different seed producers and different methods. I have three successional rows with no more than 6 germinated in each row…! I ditched raised beds four years ago because they tend to harbour slugs and instead have adopted Charles Dowding no dig beds, which has helped both with slugs and weeds.
Try an ola pot for your tomato planters if you go away. Buy a cheap terracotta pot, plug the hole at the bottom (concrete or mastic works) fill with water and cover with a lid or stone. Water drains out as the plant needs it
Got to agree that touching those potatoes then going to the tomatoes is asking for trouble. I'd have moved them next to the compost box as soon as I'd seen it to keep the spores as far away as possible
It's brown spot..not as bad as full on blight but still annoying.. I got it last year on one of my potatoe varieties, so I removed the affected leaves. Then I sprayed the rest of the leaves with a bicarb water mix every so often and it helped. I managed to keep them going long enough to have a fairly good harvest still!!
Hi Tony, your potatoes look hungry, deficiency can often look like blight. Bearing in mind the trouble you have had with compost this year, it could be an answer. Best wishes Jenny
Great update Tony. Hope you're potatoes arnt too bad. Fingers crossed 🤞
I don't worry too much about early blight. I would give the plants a feed and wait till the tops die down in two or three weeks.
Great video, Tony,
About the potatoes, last year I had the same problem, but one another gardener suggested to try and feed them a bit more with tomato feed.
Worked brilliant.
I did water them first with half a watering can each,then after about half an hour later, I will water them again with half a watering can tomato feed(diluted as it says on the bottle).
Done that every week ones.
After the second week, they came back, and I had a great harvest.
Thanks for the video again
Well done
I've made my first lot of pesto with my basil. Very happy.
Hello , me again David . One thing we tend to forget whether we garden on a plot or a garden it is the evaporation , it can lead to a huge loss of water , whether it be in soil or man made boxes Seem's silly that these are made Black , the colour that deflect's heat is White & less water loss ? . It appears you are moving to a less intensive garden plot. Remember t is still all about the main ingredient water . Water, it is a complex substance , we take it for granted yet it is the one thing you need to grow anything .As for carrot's , it is all about the soil . It is all about fine fine soil . Hope this help's ?
Couldnt quite see. But considering its in a pot, it may be magnesium deficiency. Causes brown spots/patches on the leaves. Not all brown spots are blight. But it has been very wet of late.
Could it be magnesium deficiency not blight?
would look nice with a load of flowers growing in there fella and not been empty
Looks like blight to me buddy ive been hampered by it so much I space out my spuds all over the garden to try to save some .
Love that glasshouse you have. I might have to buy one.
Your theme music is so bloody maudlin mate haha, glad everything's growing
Hi Tony, planters are lovely. Tomatoes & chillies are looking very good & healthy too. Oh no! Blight! That's early! Dont know what hepoened to your carrot seeds! Nice video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Allotment is looking well, would you not consider doing carrots in a bucket in the poly? I'm doing baby carrots I sowed them into a window box, they came up and I've thinned them out, this year was my last attempt so keep them crossed.
I got slugs climbing up my house on roof. How can I stop it from happening. Anyone?
I use copper tape or wire
I don’t think they’re carrot seeds 😂
Looks amazing Tony.
Allotment looking great overall Tony keep up the good work!
If you're relying on kale as a staple crop and also seeking a lower workload, maybe consider getting some Taunton Deane kale cuttings. It's perennial and produces a really good volume of leaves almost all year round.
So jealous, you being able to grow brassicas in summer lol. If you don't get them when it's cool in Texas, you're done for.
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
Have you tried the carrot seeds on the tape? We have had decent result the last few years with them.
looks like blight, i'm sorry. seems early, usually it's july or so. for carrots, were they fresh seeds? also they prefer cold temps to germinate and need to be kept moist, I never had problems. my problem this year are slugs..they eat everything, even tomato plants! they've never done that before :-(
It's the lesser brown spot but still annoying.. I treat with a bicarb water mix and it helps!!
Carrots are like the Holy Grail for me too BUT decided one more try this year 🙏 Like yourself 😊😊😊😊
Have you tried the seeds in tape? Swear by them now
Early Blight, we had the same in May last year. Lost a couple but others got through. To be fair volunteer Potatoes are the biggest source of spreading this disease. Someone on your plots is the source of the disease and the weather spreads it like wildfire.
The slugs are decimating everything this year!!
Nearly 10 months of wet weather with no frosts, they've had lots of hanky panky! On I'm my 4th sowing of carrots peas brassica etc etc
We have a excess of snails this year, I haven't a runner bean left considering buying some in but realistically will they survive any better than the ones I grew?
Tony if ya ever down South Yorkshire way/sheffield give us a shout. Would love to show you my allotment and have a chat all things veg. Keep up the content fella 👍🏼
Give ya chetties another few days marra to see if it gets worse (hard to tell for me to be honest) if it is blight don't then go back in the tunnel and fondle ya toms Tony it's highly catchy 😜🤪💚

This has nothing to do with plants, but what dialect are you speaking? I'm intrigued by British English dialects and I think yours is something I haven't heard before.

Do the fence please it lets you down
Sorry but not going to happen. Got to take it easy - doctors orders. Literally
The bed you numbered 4 as the ones to still be planted has WEEDS popping up round the cardboard. Please compost them before they seeeeeeeeed!!
Tony, I don’t know how you’ve managed to have an empty greenhouse at this time of year! Are you not doing repeat sewings or is that too much whilst you’re making way for my weekends away?
