- Week three down on the allotment and I'm starting to sow some seeds.
Beans, peas, Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard and spring onions
🌻The plot is around 14 x 8 meters
🌼I've been gardening for about 4 years from my small garden and looking forward to this much larger challenge

Great that you got some seeds planted. It'll be interesting to see what grows. 👍
Thank you, it feels late in the year to be starting from seed but will be nice to have my first harvest. 🙂🌱
@@growwithwill7841 There are lots of gardening channels on RUclips that all are advocating planting things in July and soon all their 'What To Plant In August' videos will be out. Charles Dowding is a good channel to follow and also GrowVeg - they have lots of useful information. I follow lots of gardening channels as you can probably guess. They all have good tips for growing. 😊
New subscriber, just watched your videos what a good allotment with a lot of hidden gems, fruit and potatoes, look forward to watching what you do with it, your doing so well. Good luck, Tracy 😊
Thank you for the sub and kind words. I have been lucky with the existing crops 🙂🌱
If you soak your leeks and spring onions in a bucket of water before you plant them you can swish all the soil off much easier to seperate that way , leeks usually have a flat leaf spring onion round 👍 my down fall forgeting to label or "i'll remember what they are do i NO not a clue "😂
That’s such a great idea, thank you for sharing and yes I need to remember to label my seeds moving forward 😂🌱
Hi will jyst come across your channel and its interested of how you already managed to clear space and put 8n a raised bed and i have a tip for you if you want free labels recycle a milk gallon thats finished and cut in to lables also if you have nettles on your plot chop into a bucket add water and let the nettles rot and breakdown and creat a free fertiliser then when your watering your crops dilute that fertiliser with water dont make the mistake of using the nettle fertiliser like that as it will burn your roots of the crops your growing
Happy Gardening
Thank you for the top tips. I am going to give both of these a try 🙂🌱
@@growwithwill7841 also another tip for next year if your growing sweetcorn do the three sisters method like corn ,squash /pumpkin and climbing beans and if you want to grow cabbage, cauliflower make sure you cover them with a hoop tunnel to prevent white cabbage butterflies and use something to deter slugs and snails so they don't eat your crops
Did you label your rows? So easy to forget what is planted where lol. Good luck with your allotment.
Thank you, no I wish I had 😞 still learning.
