Nice view of a church and graveyard
We have a lovely Chrurch and yard here, very well maintained and light and uplifting, some Churches can be quite dark and creepy...Steve...😃
Yes then steve 👍👍👍
Cheers Carl...Steve...😃
Last six months hospital total physical mental disaster. Just like missed planting for spring. Excuse my typing..want to tell you about emergency compost no nitro metal garbage can.. potato garlic heated on top then mounded in compost as I removed.. can't leave house or talk one letter at z time you have helped Mr so much rember every day miniature chicken feed technique starting in large zip bags all pots and flats beyond reach no one comes
Love you

Hope some gets my pots for me soon
Greetings Steve, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
I'm still picking Everglades Tomatoes 🍅 that I planted last June. And I planted one called Principle Borghese and they are in bloom. I'm going to be overwhelmed with Tomatoes 🍅
All of your plantings look promising 👍
I have never tried that one Peggy, I will put it on my hit list for next year I think...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp I'm guessing you could only buy it in the US.
Steve, you're so right about 'a few days early' before you know it it's like a month early!
It is very cyclical Kim!...Steve...😃
I struggled growing cucumber in my NW facing garden but they grow at the allotment. Experience tells me they need the sunniest position possible. My friend swears by Sokratese cucumber in the greenhouse and it's done well for me the last couple of years. Was pleased about that as have struggled growing cucumber in there. Beth Alpha didn't perform for me!
That is interesting Anna, I dont think I have come across that variety before...Steve...😃
I love this time of year living in the greenhouse seeding & potting on. I’ve gone a little crazy this year with salad seeds 🥬🥒🍅🥗 as last year supply was short in the shops. So I’m preparing for it again to give away to friends & family. Nothing beats home grown …
Great video Steve lots planted there 👍🏻
Thats a great idea with the salad leaves Jo...Steve...😃
Will save seeds of anything I have you want send...had to cancel June flight Cornwall every summer since pandemic
Love in Seattle same climate
Breed seeds now have Turkish tobacco black sea.
Variety of small melons heat mat start move greenhouse grow bags move out July August
Lol Steve, doing my best holding back the horses but it's a struggle! The weather around here won't settle for another month, so cukes and squash are getting started today. Everything else early is still in holding, in empty horse troughs outside. They can't take the wind here and will get beaten to death
Geeat windbreaks Paula!...Steve...😃
👍
Try Marketmore 76 cucumbers outside. They are not as pretty as the ones you just started, but taste good. La Diva should grow outside as well. On a previous allotment that waterlogged as soon as it went cloudy, I used to form mounds of compost to grow them on the top of. Raised beds shouldn't have that problem, I know, but might be worth experimenting with.
Happy sowing and growing
I did try the mound method before I went to raised beds and no dig...Steve...😃
Incredible F1 is a great Sweetcorn variety to grow here in Manchester UK. I grow it every year. I always get a FANTASTIC crop of Healthy Tasty Cobs.
Think I have grown it now for about 8-9 years, used to grow swift before that...Steve...😃
Hi Steve just watched the podcast on Monday with the gang great by the way !!! I hope you can help about growing Giant Winter Spinach just got some seeds any tips please. Many thanks ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I wont be sowing mine for a good couple of months yet Gloria, bu I will be sowing it!...Steve...😃
Wow looking like a garden centre there Steve 😂😂 but an inspiration to so many. Have a fantastic week thank you for sharing 🐝 safe
You should see the price list Ali 😁😁...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp 😂😂😂
Hi Steve, great video on sowing seeds and an update on your greenhouse too. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Many thanks Christine...Steve...😃
Nice vid Steve 👍
Some great veggies getting sown there.
Many thanks Mark...Steve...😃
Love the furrow idea definitely be trying that 👍
Great Janet, best of luck with it...Steve...😃
I’ve just sown some more seeds beans etc great that the season is really starting all the best cheers 🍻
All guns blazing now Jacko...Steve...😃
Nice update Steve, your right about sowing a little bit earlier, I went early last year and although I didn’t loose much I decided to leave it later this year and it doesn’t half feel later even tho it’s just the normal time!
Yes it can be a bit weird...Steve...😃
A great selection of vegetable seeds for sowing in May Steve and a awesome video. I will be sowing a few courgette seeds outside (all the varieties I have are indoor & outdoor varieties). My cucumber plant leaves and stem got eaten by some pest so I will be sowing cucumber seeds to replace the cucumber plant. I will be completing my seed potato planting ( it's only the main crop varieties that are to be planted) within the next 2 weeks.
It's a milestone moment to get all the potatoes planted David...Steve...😃
U got lots going on as always. Your seedling coming along nicely. I've tried hard this year to hold back, last year I struggled with cucumber to get any to grow. This year I left it about a month later and no issue some times we push the boundary to much
Pushing boundaries is what I am all about, Its my happy place...Steve...😃
try carmen cucumbers ....all female fruit flowers prolific fruit but quite expensive for just 5 seeds
What a great channel. Just good, sensible advice that all home gardeners can benefit from. I envy you your heated greenhouses though. I do have a non heated greenhouse and have just bought a small polytunnel for tomatoes. I have a couple of heated propogators too. I grow everything in pots, veg, herbs and flowers, so any tips on that would be great. Thank you.
Welcome to Green Side Up Jabba, there will certainly be plenty to keep you interested...Steve...😃
Waggling my fingers to sow seeds is impossible.
Rheumatoid arthritis has rendered my hands into deformed bird's claws, so I use various neck-sized pipettes.
Just a suggestion for any other gardeners struggling with sowing.
Thanks for uploading.
There is a method or a way that suits everyone, thankfully!...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp
As my wee, fat mum often said: _"Necessity was the mother of invention."_
Often unable to pick up seeds either, the pippete idea, thankfully, justj popped into my head, two years ago.
What I need is a minion but they're thin on the ground, so I'll make do for now.
😂😂😂
Thanks for replying.
Just home from the plot seed sowing and potting on enjoyed the video and realised i hadn't sown my dwarf French beans so will do that tomorrow after work everything on plot coming on great but i still fear a late May frost will never forget the beast from the east a couple of years ago i lost a months work off plants etc but that's gardening we can always re-sow but a big struggle to catch up. I grow 8 tomato plants in each off the 2 polytunnels total 16 [yes you are correct on the video i have 40 plants growing well lol ] but there will be plenty of people i can pass them on to. [Lawrence]
Need 16, grow 40...😁...Steve...😃
I got 2 root training trays of brassica from 1 small tray pricked out.
Well done DN...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp Sure saves lots of space to put 4 kinds in 1 start tray.
👍👍🌻🌻🌷🌷🌼🌼
My toms all failed this year and my peppers & aubergines are way too tiny. Off to the garden centre 😞
Hi Steve this is interesting. I'm having difficulty germinating Carouby de Maussane peas. I soaked them, I wonder if it was too much. Good to know I can continue to sow them now. Also growing Crimson Crush tomatoes for the first time, the are getting very leggy have potted on but some look a bit poorly don't know why.
I have in the past soaked peas before sowing and to a point it worked well for me, but I have gone back to my old way of sowing the seeds dry as I too suffered with germination problems and mould also. Crimson crush, are the plants wet or just moist?...Steve...😃
I think I may have been too generous with the watering as they look dry on top but they are actually quite wet underneath. I do tend to "puddle" plants in, I must think I'm still growing flowering perennials!
I thought I may be too late to sow sweetcorn but I'll have a go tomorrow. No idea where I will grow them on, I've run out of space already
There is always space for another tray of plants...Steve...😃
Yay! My new alottment is confusing me. I planted spuds and nasturtiums up there. Now weather forecast only said night temps were down to 3 Celsius in my city, yet the spud shoots and nasturtiums look as if they've been frosted! The ones in my own garden at a lower elevation with more shelter are fine. Does anybody else get this? So strange to experience frost damage when no frosts were forecast. Does clay soil create cold micro climates? So weird.
Could of been a frost pocket, that can occur and because it is not widespread it is rarely mentioned...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp Thanks for the response. Yes, it does seem localised and has me stumped. Not sure how to deal with the situation. It's a flattish plot S-N oriented, though fairly open on a sloping allotment site. I can't figure out what would create a frost pocket as the air/wind is free flowing straight across the site. Oh well. Will replant the extra Nasturtiums and see what happens. hopefully my spuds will have a second growth spurt too.
how many corns from one plant? reason i ask is it worth growing on a small plot ie my garden
When you did the test germination and nothing came up, what did you do with the tray of compost? Can you sow something else straight back into it, or do you have to throw it away?
I never throw compost away, it either gets recycled into pottting on bigger plants or onto my beds...Steve...😃
I thought it was getting to be to hot for brassica's now. Are those special varities?
Have you ever tried a gynoecious (mostly female flowers) cucumber variety? I did 2 types last year, with fabulous results. So I am repeating “calypso” it’s very disease resistant as well. It’s a pickle variety really, but tastes great as a fresh eater. You need to grow next to regular variety to make sure they are pollinated. I live in zone 5b Chicagoland so summers are warm and I find watering daily with regular light organic liquid fertilizer, has been my cucumber game changer.
Yes I water my indoor plants with weak feed, everytime I water, I keep a barrel of it mixed and ready indoors close to my plants...Steve...😃
Steve, I'm getting poor germination from my peat free seed compost. It dries into a hard crust on top but stays moist under the surface. Do you use any particular compost for seeds or do you mix with coir or still use peat? I can't see any perlite in your mix? Thanks Steve, any advice greatly appreciated.
Do u water from above or below?
@@markshaw5835 I water from above.
@@mark203 I had the same issue, I've been experimenting from water below and it has stopped the top part crusting over. But I'm still learning, it hard to know how much to water and not to over water
Hi Mark, watering repeatedly from above "settles" the very fine particles, then it dries out and forms a crust, water from the top when you have just sown them to help settle the compost around the seeds, then water from below after that, just place the whole tray into a bigger tray of water and allow it to soak up...Steve...😃
@@GreenSideUp Thanks Steve. That makes sense. I'll do that from now on. I've got some gravel trays that I will pop the modules in 👍🏻
Following avidly👍 p.s don’t knacker your knees on that concrete! Voice of experience speaking🙄
Thanks Norman, I'll have to find my kneeling pillow...Steve...😃
