Main objective is for it to be easy, I don’t have much time to garden, so I like to spend a few hours in winter to make it easy for the rest of the year : all the best - Steve
Sweet dumpling are my favourite squash. Just 6 from 4 plants this year- very disappointing. I am looking forward to eating them. Harvested beetroot, red cabbage, cavolo nero, courgettes, purple french beans, red sprouts, runner bens, apples, pears and lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cucumber today. Happy gardening 🙂
Thw weather has changed, getting very chilly in the morning. Think I'm in a good place with my seedling and crops so should be good for spring and winter fingers crossed
no, I’ve found a much better way, see the hotbed section of this chapter of my ebook steverichards.notion.site/Making-raised-beds-coldframes-and-tunnels-aa81d71a481e424b81293309723e3c0b?pvs=4

You'd make an excellent presenter for Gardener's World Steve.
Thanks for the offer, but I’m happily retired. I’ve had my experience of TV and I definitely don’t have the time or patience for it!
Thank you Steve, your videos are always so helpful.
I always enjoy your videos
Awesome Video m8, from down under!
Thank you for sharing all your tips you still have a lovely supply of fruits and veg ❤
Greetings from Ireland to Steve and family. Thanks for the tips and response to my recent request for advice. Best wishes LBH
Nice and tidy, top plot

We like them, but they don't keep as well for us as Crown Prince, but lovely immature too
@@SteveRichards i have just used my lsst one from lat year's harvest- I must have been luvky withy them!
Wow, we always use ours before the end of the year. You must have had a huge crop last year to keep eating them for so long!
@@SteveRichards we only eat them every 2-3 weeks, but it was agood crop last year too 🙂

What have you got for harvest in spring and winter Mark?
@@SteveRichards lettuce, spinach hoping for some cabbage and calabreese, got spring onions kalettes. Got lots of potatoes. Doing well
When do you cut the tops off the carrots Steve? Hoping to minimise slug damage this year and as you say its getting wetter and wetter
Ideally when carrot fly have gone, usually end of October, early November
Do you still use hotbeds Steve? If not would love to know why
no, I’ve found a much better way, see the hotbed section of this chapter of my ebook steverichards.notion.site/Making-raised-beds-coldframes-and-tunnels-aa81d71a481e424b81293309723e3c0b?pvs=4
