  • Here's my database view for September, with all of the details airtable.com/a...
    You can find out more about my free newsletter here: steverichards....
    If you’d like to explore more then I have loads of great resources for you, including hundreds of extra videos, my comprehensive gardening ebook, my gardening app, data on everything I grow and when I grow it and so much more. Everything I do is free to use, but not to create!

    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...

    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.

    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?

    • @SteveRichards
      @SteveRichards  10 дней назад +1

      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 😂

      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.

    • @SteveRichards
      @SteveRichards  15 дней назад +1

      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

      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
