Hi Dan. First time to comment here but your videos basically got me into gardening (polytunnel and raised beds) 12 years ago now. Thanks for all your tips and tricks over the years! PS this has been the worst year of the 12 for ripening tomatoes because of the constant cloudy weather in the NW.
Yeah I know. But then you try to adapt and it'll go from the mildest Winter on record to coldest. Just don't seem to win with our random Island climate. Cheers 😊
Now see if I walked through there I’d have face planted a few spider webs by now 😂😂. But it’s like a secret garden in the field. Not a flock of seagulls then. Great update Dan, my garlic here looked great on top but not impressed it didn’t split and we have bloody snow ⛄️. Oh well what do gardeners say 😂😂 there’s always next year. Have a great weekend Dan, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
We got freezing weather for garlic, but it got really hot in the early summer and some of my garlic bulbs split before the normal time I would harvest. Your garlic is fantastic looking.
Eyup Dan. I remember when that was all fields. That's it - I am now officially an old git. You should have a go at nettle broth fella - my dad grew up on it. When his uncle Willy killed a pig they had nettle and ham broth and my dad got 't pig's bladder to use as a football. If he were lucky. I'll sithi after! Dave.
Would you like some Barry's crazy cherry tom's, I've got a couple going they look mental, covered in flowers, have a google at them and let me know! Elista are my favourite shallots thanks to you, wont bother trying anything else now!
So I take it roast pheasant is on the menu 😆 Everything coming along nicely. Here’s to a great harvest
That walk up to the allotment plot is like a paradise to me.
agree
It is really.
All wild stuff.
Love it.
Cheers Dan 😊

I think everyone has has some issues with the weather this season, just need to adapt our growing methods to suit.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

It's not a disaster by any means, just a few disappointing things.
Cheers Dan 😊
Cracking video as always Dan. Do you ever have any bother with leaf minor
That's a pest I've never had if you're referring to allium leaf miner.
Don't think it's made it's way this far north yet thankfully.
Cheers Dan 😊
had loads of blight all over my toms... really crap year but still fighting on.
Yeah I know there's always something to mess it all up.
Cheers Dan 😊

If it keeps growing for another month It may come good but not holding out much hope.
Cheers Dan 😊
