Steve would be proud keepit up my mate, get some spicy chilies that Ann might not like lol xx
Look after yourself mate 👍
Hi Tony, I'm sure the "old boy" will be up there saying, "it's all looking really good" lovely plot tour, thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Haven't heard the word muckle in a long time Tony....sine I lived in Morpeth many moons ago...music to my ears😊
Tony, I have been thinking about Steve a lot since his passing; as I know you have from your vlogs. He really was an inspiration to me as well as a real help with my relatively new allotment. I note that the RHS have a web page for people who want to name a flower after someone and thought it would be nice if a Sweet Pea could be named after Steve. What do you think?
Parnip bed is going to do great things, trust in yourself Tony. They'll be good 'uns
You need to build yourself a permanent carrot box Tony. convert that cold frame and small bed outside your polytunnel . Also do you have a lettuce fetish........LOL
I'll be growing King Edward potatoes next year in Steve's Green Side Up memory.
everything looks so lovely, love the cabbages. very weed free, you have spent a lot of time ans it shows!
Garlic scapes are good eating if you pick them young, treat as for asparagus😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I think I grow garlic just for the scapes. So good stir fried or used anyway you’d use asparagus. Num num…🇨🇦🇨🇦👩🌾
Hehe, Melanie says that about your cleaning! 😂 They’re not scrapes Tony, they’re escapes. Because the flower is trying to escape the main plant xxx plot looks great and good idea with the compost courgettes. I plant my squash through a plastic sheet to keep the marestail back but it keeps the moisture and heat in too. If they don’t do too well you don’t have to move them far 😀🥴👍 I’m sure they’ll be epic! Great update! 🌺🌸🥕
I pulled enough rhubarb yesterday for a rhubarb and lemon crumble no sugar required wonderful harvest
Oh sounds delicious 😋
Looking good big lad 👍.
The consolation prize when your plants are attacked by pests is they release isocyanates which go on to help your immunity. Watching Steve’s videos from the beginning feels like a sort of pilgrimage to his thoughts.
We’re a little south of you, accent wise 😂 and my elephant garlic is a bit behind you. The red onions sets are starting to bolt here, every bloody year. Slugs are a nightmare on one bed in particular here. I don’t know what your weather has been like but it’s been like a yo-yo here Durham way. T-shirt then jumper 🤷♀️
Hi Tony your allotment looks fabulous? carrots 🥕 I can’t grow carrots 🥕 all these years I sow every year different places different carrots 🥕 nothing lv Irene 😘 xx
Great plot tour Tony. Just wondering about the brassicas in front of the tomatoes - they look lush and no damage from white butterfly etc?? Down here in NZ a plants are getting decimated with army worm- a sneaky small dark coloured caterpillar, munches plants down overnight. Husband has now made me some covered frames. We think it is all the warm and wet weather which is what they like. I was blaming slugs and snails and dealing to them! A good thing us gardeners are optimists!! Love your channel and the PM garden club. 🌻
Hi your garden is looking fantastic if you don't know I have just had my allotment for six weeks now got all turned over got polytunnel with stuff in and six raised beds with spouts cabbage and cauliflowers kale purple broccoli leeks turnips what I won't to know Tony can I buy onions seeds now for boxing day just been watching Steve
I had a girlfriend that used to always say "squeaky wheel gets the oil". I told her that if I'm going to have to oil this wheel all the time then I'll be finding a new wheel that doesn't squeak.
Hi tony absolutely love your channel thank you for inspiring me and my family love your channel to and they don’t like hardly any that I watch.Hope you your family and doggies are all well xxx 😘
Someone else commented the elephant garlic scapes are delicious. Here in California, people line up at the Farmer's Markets to buy the scapes. They are absolutely wonderful when cooked!
My Carrots also failed for some strange reason so I'm trying again...everything else is good though 😁
What about the guerilla garden, are the plants growing?
Hopefully they're okay, although the probability is plants which have been overwhelmed with weeds or slaughtered by slugs and snails.
Fabulous Tony, you’ve got a lot going on there 😊 Will try King Edwards next year.
Everything coming on, even though it’s a bit cold
I enjoy watching your vlogs. Greetz Conny The Netherlands.
Strawberrified (TM) copyrighted now. Great Tour Tony. Good job well grown.
Great allotment tour Tony
Tony, Baker creek lettuces- Forellenschluss and bronze beauty are two nice lettuces.
Looking great, I just did my first-ever allotment tour on my channel now that I have had my plot for a month now. I have been wondering what to place with my tomatoes to fill it up a bit so I might throw some lettuce in there like you have :)
Elephant garlic scapes are delicious 😋xx
Looks great, my first ever growing season and I liked to see yours and see if mine resemble them. I'm in 9B zone NI, I made the mistake of over sowing swede, I had tons but quickly realised that they didn't like being transplanted. Those that have made it are doing great, those I had far too many was given away to a local gardener after advertising them free on marketplace. The rest went into the compost bin. Thanks!
Hello Tony i have King rewards in and Aaron victory
Your garden looks great
👍
Do the broccoli not need to be covered from cabbage whites? I'm fairly new to growing brassicas but the few times I tried everything got attacked by cabbage whites and the caterpillars shredded them, and that was even with a net. I'm trying again this year on my new allotment with a different net set up hoping for a better result.
Are you still having the parsnip grow compitions between you all
Only because you asked, even if rhetorically: In English, "Row-MAYN," rhymes with "so SANE!" In Italian, "Romano," masculine and "Romana," feminine, accent on the second syllable in both cases. "Cos" is from the Greek.
Even if your garlic in the small bed doesn't head up into big, beautiful heads, you can use it as seed garlic for next season.
It's said---I don't know if it's true---that rhubarb ought not be harvested in June nor from then on through winter, because the plant needs all its remaining leaves to make energy which it stores for the following season, in this case 2024. Have you found this to be so?
Could your friend Audrey get you some Kyoto Red carrot seeds? They oughtn't be sown until just past the Summer Solstice because their photoperiodicity/photoperiodism actually wants the shortening of daylight hours and the increasing nighttime hours (otherwise, the carrots will bolt, sometimes in as little as a week after breaking the surface of the soil), so I'm thinking you'd still have time to sow them successfully even if you sowed a week or so after the Solstice.
Hi Tony, those lettuce that Audrey gave you, are they called Roma or Roman Cos??
I did not mean to hit the dislike button. Fractured finger on an iPhone. I hit the like button. 🙄
Wasnt 'the old boy' actually younger than you? I know it is meant as a mark of respect - and rightly so. I took side shoots of my toms and put them in the ground - as he would say they are at the sulking stage.
I think the great, late Steve was only 58.
I'm 54, so he didn't seem old to me.
Oh, what a loss😢
I really must plant the Chelsea Collection (sweat peas) in his memory.
Why don’t the pigeons bother with your calabrese in with the tomatoes
