My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence. For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I'm not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!
Just because all my resources are 'free of charge', to everyone, doesn't mean they aren't good quality. My objective is to make sure that there's no need to be rich to get access to great gardening information. I do however have a lot of costs to cover and my time is valuable to me, so please consider supporting me at www.buymeacoff...
Thanks for all your growing advice so useful ❤
Thank you Steve, as always so helpful.
Oh excellent Steve. I was going to ask you when you would do a sowing guide but didnt want to sound pushy ( when I actually am 😂).
Opps ..should watch first 😅
Great video Steve many thanks 🙏
Any plans to sow field beans for this winter? Not that you need any more crops!
As i grow virtually everything outdoors I find the field beans an invaluable addition for my winter salads and i wouldn't be without them. Thanks again to you for bringing them to my attention a few years ago.
Definitely, I will be sowing them in October and November : all the best - Steve
Thanks Steve, you've inspired me to try more stuff over winter under cover.
By the way to you have a source for the corinthian hanging baskets please? I've got a few I bought years ago but I don't seem to be able to find anyone selling them anymore.
Unfortunately I can’t find a source either
@@SteveRichards drat, I wonder why they have stopped producing them, I find they are by far the best.
@GeorgesBits yeah, good size and look nice too
Have you managed to find anything close in size, preferably with a reservoir?
@GeorgesBits I’ve not
Your greenhouse is full still, its lovely to see. Ive managed to get some seedling going got mostly brassics, some lettuce. Ive trief celery, they are growing but not sure if thete survive, ive a question for u, wat do u do with the compost thst your peppers are in?
I will most likely plant potatoes in it next year
@@SteveRichards thinking I my use mine for a mulch or maybe add it to my potato mix now lol
So Steve, when you say you will experiment with late crops in the greenhouse (you.included beetroot) does that mean sowing seeds or planting what you already have?
They’ve just germinated, I will most likely only get leaves
@@SteveRichards I mught experiment with you...put some in deep beds in the greenhouse, sone outside near the brassicas which will get a cover and the rest in the compost bads for lesves.
Hi Steve I follow a number of your growing guides . I’m based in Kent just south of London . For spring crops how much early than you should I sow? And in the autumn how much later? Or is much the same?
It depends so much on where you are growing in spring and whether you are using grow lights. I’m growing with lights in early spring and growing on in a heated greenhouse, so for first earlies it’s probably the same, for mid spring probably a week earlier
Something I get frustrated with is the writing on labels wearing off. I have tried several pens. I had different colours or Sharpies and only thevdark blue one stayed on plastic labels a long time. I recently bought a permanent blacķ Staedtler. We will see how long that lasts.
Hi the only thing I've found stayed on any length of time, was pencil. I do all capital letters and go over them a couple of times. Otherwise I think the snails come along and erase them lol 😂
@@sheilaclerkin2238 yes. I tried pencil by its so feint.
because I log all of my sowings and they each have a unique number, all I have to be able to read is that number, which makes it easier
Hi quite tricky tbh.
I tend to use these coloured plastic plant labels which i started using this season, Which i really liked. or lolly sticks. Almost most labels will wear off/smear being in contact with moisture and soil.
If you are doing beds, It may be easier to label and document digitally what it is, have a print out.
Good luck going forward.
All the seedlings that you’re showing in this video Steve, were they sown in August?
Yes, for more information though, subscribe to my free newsletter, that gives you all the details : All the best - Steve
Thanks so much this is so helpful
Love it thank you 🙏🏼 ❤
Are you using your grow lights for anything at the moment Steve?
Thanks for all the content.. all great stuff.
I am, but only because it’s too hot in the greenhouse to germinate lettuce so it’s more convenient for me to use grow lights until I’m ready to prick out
@@SteveRichardsjust to show how awful our light levels and general.temperatures have been Steve, we have had a constant growth of self sown claytonia all through Summer.
when mine self seeds it's always very weak in summer
Did I miss the window for sowing Toughball again?
sort of, if you were to grow them under cover then they would be ok, but they will likely be too small to get through a typical winter if sown now
@@SteveRichards I never get big onions anyway.
@@SteveRichards sets again it is. I like the French pink ones.
can you grow those over winter?
@@SteveRichards no, I doubt it. I put them in trays about Feb
