Full Allotment Tour: Manchester: Vegetable Growing UK. Established Plot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- It's the end of July and Rachel gives a tour around the plots. We are finally getting some rain and the plot is into full production. Get a cuppa as this is a bit of a long video, but we give a full tour of most of our crops at this busy time in the season.
At Don't Crop Me Now we have 500sq.m of space comprising 1 full plot and 2 halves and follow a 'No Dig' method in raised beds. We grow a wide range of fruit, veg and flowers which supply our kitchen all year round. We are not fully self-sufficient, but we shop very rarely.

Happy digging 🌱
Thanks so much! 😊
Outstanding , well done
Just been watching your channel, wow you have amazing fruit & vegetables, you must put a lot of hard work into that, looking forward to seeing what you grow & sow this year 👍
Thank you and Welcome Linda!
I have just found your channel and really enjoyed your interesting and informative plot tour. I only have a small garden veg plot and am too old to manage an allotment so I have a little envy of your beautiful plots. You must work really hard to keep all those crops going so well especially as you both work as well.
Thank you Brenda and welcome
Yep carrots on the list to sow. Beets, lettuce, radish, onions 👍👍 and I may do some brassicas too. Everything looks good it’s nice to see mom at the plot. Yes your flowers all look fabulous 🌻🌻. Thank you for sharing glad your both better now. Have a great week 🐝 safe
Lovely to share your plot once more, everything looks wonderful but I am particularly impressed by the lushness of your beans after all the dry weather!
Thank you Kate. The no-dig beds really help retain moisture and the cover provided by the beans themselves also contributes.
Love seeing around your plots Rachel. I enjoy your videos about preserving your crop but would like to see how you store harvests over winter.
I am just filming a video now about canning a base curry sauce
Love your allotment plots x
Thank you Ann
Looking great
Your plots look amazing, so productive
Thank you Mothin! The rain has helped a lot!
Wow so much growing! Everyone looks very exciting!
Just found your channel, I think you have one of the most beautiful plots I have seen so far here on youtube! It is inspiring..thank you for sharing!
Awww thank you very kind words
I grow tomatillo’s. They are ripe when the cover turns papery and the whole thing falls from the plant. I add to my salsa. You do great videos. Educational without all the fluff of many other RUclipsrs. That is a complement. Thanks
Thank you Rebecca. We actually have quite a few fruits on our tomatillos now! Have you managed to overwinter the plants? I heard you can do that.
I love your social area.x
Yep! Always have lots of places to sit lol
Stunning garden!
Thank you Maria!
Fantastic sized onions .. definitely going to watch your onion video for tips. Also, how old are your blueberry bushes? Had mine for 2 years but nothing like as productive. Excellent vid .. thanks
Those are at least 6 years old maybe more. They can take a while to really get going.
Amazing looking plots, very neat and productive. Where did you get your polytunnel? I'm aiming to buy one for my plot this year. I love that greenhouse you have too with the fancy curved roof.
The poly is from First Tunnels 👍
Hi both, thanks for the tour. Everything is looking great despite the challenges of the year! Your bean wigwams look so practical. I’m going to try that next year, thanks.
Will you be using your windfall cooking apples for anything?
I love broad bean hummus, no one else does in my house though 😂 Tracy
I do make pectin with the apples and freeze, but our freezers are full 🤦♀️ and we have quite a bit already made. They do pretty well in the compost though!
Hi do you do any apple tree maintenance our tree on our allotment fruits really well but the apples always have holes and maggots in them
Hi Elizabeth sounds like you have codling moth. Has been bad this year. Best thing is pheromone traps - they work brilliantly!
Did you grow your shallots from seed or starts?
From seed 👍 called Zebrune
i beat you on height, lass. i'm now 4 foot nout. lol...................brian
