Lovely carrots, Tony. I've been growing carrots successfully in buckets and pots for two years now. To get them to be all of even size via spacing them evenly I use templates downloaded from AbarothsWorld, then printed out on paper and pierced with an ordinary pencil to create the sowing holes. I got the tip from Home Grown Veg. He updated the suggestion again six months ago. I'll post links in a separate post because RUclips has been in the habit of deleting my posts containing links.
The compost has been a mix of last year's tomato compost, some new general compost bulked up with some garden soil, abd carefully riddled to remove all stones, twigs and lumps. Next year, I'm planning to grow some in deeper tubs to see if I get some longer ones, even though what I have been getting have been fine.
Look a😢 them lovely carrots look amazing I did well this year (for me) I have always struggled with carrots
Nothing wrong with those carrots they’ll be delicious!!!!!!!👌
Good carrots out of container 👍
Hi Tony - I'm up in Stonehaven Scotland and get cracking carrots every year using just two beds i.e. onions in one, carrots in the other, then vice versa each year - soil must be open / friable - I fertilize over the winter with blood, fish n bone, and chicken pellets.
I start my onions off in modules then plant out, but sow my carrots direct - I try to get one seed every couple of inches or thereabouts, to save thinning them out, which I never do even if I sow too many seeds at a station. I have to cover them of course, against the dreaded carrot fly.
I have sown / grown the same variety for about 10 yrs now - "sweet candle" - a lovely looking and a fantastic tasting carrot - it never fails me. Good luck 👍
I am going to try my carrots like you have done, Tony. I can smell them and taste them.
Nothing like garden carrots.
Could the new water troughs be the culprit to your blighted tomato plants, Tony? It must have crossed your mind!!
Lovely time of year to plan for next year. 🌿🌿🥕🥕I have tried a lot more herbs this year. Pretty happy with it.
Love my parley.🌿🌿I will give sweet potato a go as well. Thanks for all your ideas and thoughts.
You can dry those stupidly hot chilis out, then when you have a bug/slug issue blend a couple up with some garlic and a few drops of soap. Strain it out after a couple of hours. Then spray your plants. It will keep the bad bugs away and most of the soft bodied creepiest too.
I picked all my green cherry Tomatoes and made green tomato Ketchup, soo good. I'd be very happy with those carrots.
Hi Tony, I like the idea of not putting seedlings out until they are much bigger. We all need to try to adapt our growing in the challenging seasons ahead. Lovely harvest of carrots 🥕 great video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Make green tomato chutney with all your unripened tomatoes x
I just cooked them and mixed them with all my ripe ones but then I had SO MANY... there is never too many
Hey Tony, we went down to 4° C as well last night! Crazy! Your carrots look great and enjoy that you got some! 🥕🥕🥕
Get your cabbages picked Tony chop them up blanch them and freezer
Hi Tony plant some runner beans called ENORMA they are good & produce very long nice tasting beans
Hi Tony if you sieve the soil to remove the stones before using it to grow carrots. It will help the carrots grow, as carrots don't grow well if there are stones in the soil. And I guess it is the same idea for growing parsnips.
Just sow 4 cabbage a month then you don't get a glut,, same with cauliflower and even the chard and kale
I started my carrots in the greenhouse in pots this year and planted them outside in may had some good results
The carrots looks great and I bet they will taste amazing too. I grow my carrots in the same buckets that you're using but I find they grow best for me, when I use the sylva grow compost, I'm sure it's because of the fine texture it has.
My 4 year old grandson Noah has been eating my carrots straight out of the ground after a quick rinse under the tap - he loves them raw - they're not very big 🥕🥕🥕 he also scoffed all my strawberries 🙄🍓🍓🍓
Tony watch Steve’s seaside garden vlog this week about Strulch …what it is and how it benefits and how many seasons use he gets out of one bag.
We had a bit of a frost to wake up to. The weather channel didn’t warn us‼️‼️🇨🇦
Scarlet runners and bush beans are my gotta haves and of course garlic and tomatoes for pasta sauce to can‼️
My outdoor toms look the same as yours, Tony. Plenty of fruit, but not many ripe, though I have been taking the partially-ripened ones inside to ripen. However our married daughter is now taking a lot of them to make chutney. I've been promised some jars! :) Those grown under glass have done well, but are almost finished now..
It's been a funny year. My leeks and beetroot have been great this year, but despite having achieved an excellent crop of large onions last year, my onions have been a total failure this year. My rresults from peas have been very poor as well.
Potatoes in the ground have been good . I tried one in a tub as well, which I've never done before. It was good but the ones in the ground did better. I will try again next year with bigger tubs though.
Cabbages have been good, but they have now burst in the recent rains. I don't normally water once the seedlings are established in order to encourage deep roots, but I wonder if a little water during dry spells might have helped to avoid bursting?
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
Tony wrap your green tomatoes in newspaper and keep them in a warm dry place 1 week and you have red tomatoes. Worked for me.
Tony your really hot peppers make a great repellent, send them Jessica, that’ll keep them badgers out
Lit6 my multi fuel burner nearly a fortnight ago Tony!
Hey Tony, you would pay a fortune for baby carrots in the supermarket, so not just a harvest, a harvest of expensive stuff 😍We had 4 degrees last night but we are on the way up here down under, great tip about the cardboard. Big licks to the dogs from Colin the dog.
Wait till June to put the tomatoes outside. Perfect timing!
Once they've started to change colour they will ripen fine indoors. You can pick a few of them Crimson Crush already, before the frost gets them.
Donate any excess veg to the food bank! I got worried about growing too much but feel much better now I can donate the rest to charities.
Tony, I agree this year has been mixed. My tomatoes have been really poor this year and other things have struggled with the weather, including me!
Looking to next year, I’m thinking of buying some of the heavy duty seedling trays and the tomatoes planters you’ve used this year. Please could you let me know the names / makes of both these items?
Tony I've had Botritus on my greenhouse tomatoes for four years on the run and I've puzzled as to what I did different from the previous year's came to the conclusion that this had only been happening since I was standing the pots in gravel trays of water, because of us not having a car anymore (hubby has dementia) we use taxis and have to restrict the amount of times we can get to the plot and it's difficult to keep the tomatoes watered. I have thought maybe the trays of water was making the greenhouse to humid even though I leave the door and louvre window open during the summer. This year I've bought some quadgrows from Ian and I have had no Botritus. This could be a fluke and I'll see what happens next year. I'm wondering if your problem could be caused by humidity in your polytunnel? Do you leave your doors open? I have a net panel over the door to prevent birds or cats getting in. This year with all the rain the atmosphere must be more humid and possibly your polytunnel was not getting enough ventilation. I know you've never had this problem before but we've never had such a wet Summer as this one and if a simple solution as ventilation can help it's worth trying.
It is disappointing to grow and plan on having tomatoes only to have no harvest. That is where I am too. only my cherry tomatoes gave me any and that was by accident I think. It was just a small pot and a small plant in with some parsley and pansies that I had set on the edge of a wild garden of tall grass and yarrow. in dappled shade if a birch. they were so sweet! my other tomatoes were a new variety that grew lots of vines and leaves but little fruit and it was slow to ripen and when it did had blossom end rot. probably my fault as it was so hot and I watered as best I could but it was hard this summer. Time I think to reevaluate.
I find this time of year a bit depressing. Pulling out all the finished plants. Tidy up and clean and batten down the hatches ready for Winter
I keep my beds full at all times, there’s plenty growing now.
@MarianWalsh-vz9fy also try to keep growing as much as possible I spend a lot of time tidying weeding mulching in winter
Carrots far better than my rubbish . Go for it
Carrot in a sand box, cored out holes
Getting nippy! Top video 📷📸
Yep thermals on in the garden today 😅
Those carrots look as though theyll be very tasty tony.
My tomatoes, in the greenhouse and outside have been a proper let down this year! Probably the worst ever. Runners were not as productive as i expected but the biggest disappointment was my spuds! My home guard first earlies were a complete waste of time and the main crop produced a very small crop and my brassicas made terrific compost.
Lets hope for better next time. My garlic is already in!
Your tomatoes in the polytunnel look like they have blight or a similar fungal issue. Best solution is to keep your polytunnel door open so that ventilation is increased even if it reduces the temperature a bit.
Could have had sprouts beans or peas instead of those outdoor Tom's Tony
🎉🎉🎉🎉carrots!!
Give the celeriac some blood fish n bone it might give them a boost it’s been a very wet year. Also I’d save a bit of those tall beds for a sowing of carrot next year. See if deeper beds help. I’m gonna do your less is more plan Tony 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@Homestead garden, what you heard haha
😊Could you donate the cabbages to a food bank Tony?
Wondering why you dont seem interested in growing summer and / or winter squash?
Did i get mixed up Tony but did you say a while back that you were going to try Senshu / Japanese onions from seed? If so how are they doing?
Tony I blame the supermarkets for selling us dud seeds. They finally cottoned on to us all having a great harvest they'll and then being out of pocket lol. So instead they raised the prices of fresh fruit and veg to regain years of lose profit from allotmenters!😂😂😂
