Speedy Replanting and Inter-sowing: Secrets to a Bountiful Early Summer Garden
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июн 2018
- Summer arrives and the garden is full, with harvests happening and more to follow (this is zone 8a oceanic temperate). I show sowing and replanting to keep the harvests coming into winter, give tips on weeding to save time in the long run, and show you the summer compost heaps.
My garden is no dig and you see how few weeds are growing: we spend most of our time planting and picking, about two hours/week on weeding.
In the final scene I harvest beetroot, cabbage, asparagus, peas, pea shoots and courgettes, see thumbnail.

I really do enjoy your videos. I learn so much and I love how you teach. So calm and peaceful. Thank you
I appreciate you
Thanks Brigid
goodness gracious, it's 4 am and i don't even have a bloody garden, but here we are, huh
I am impressed!
homesteader fifty w/ ricky & martha considering the worlwide economic crisis, in a year i would probably have to rely on a garden to feed myself indeed :D
@@SeptimusAugustusI You'd better get crackn'
Me too!
Oh that is funny !!!
I decided to try grow a few bits and pieces this year with my grandson. I have very little or next to no knowledge whatsoever on gardening but within watching 2 episodes on you’re Chanel I have learnt more than I have trolling my way through dozens of other videos !! You sir are an absolute world of information that the far less knowledgeable can understand !! Absolutely brilliant programmes. 👍🏼
Thanks so much for letting me know.
I just explain as best I can, and it's a long time since I was a beginner, so it's lovely to hear that the videos help so much.
I just wish I was there💚💚 🤩🤩
My favorite gardening channel by far! 👌
Thanks Alvina
I agree. Informative, inspiring, and you have to enjoy the way Charles speaks about plants.
Yes!! Without a doubt!
My favorite as well!
I just said basically the same thing😊🍃🌾🌱 I love watching him so much!! He's so inspiring!
I am a civil engineer, but I really love organic agriculture . I enjoyed your videos, especially this one . These videos motivated me to quit my job this month and I going to start my passion! Your videos are very helpful to me. Thanks so much, Mr. Dowding!
Võ Trường Good luck.
Võ Trường gosh big commitment and I wish you well, must say that it’s difficult to earn a living selling veg Oslo keep some other income
Thanks! I know that, so I will go to Hi-tech organic agriculture
There are several families in my area that make a good living gardening but it is hard, hot work.
Its been year ago. I love gardening too but not brave enough to quit my job. I depress to know how thing going with your plan now?
Knowing when to plant is the hardest part of growing. Your channel has helped solve the mystery. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks Becca and yes, timing can make all the difference
This is true for me also
Yes; I'm starting to get it also. Here, it gets hot very fast, and I have had huge problems trying to get food before the thing runs to flower. For example, it's the beginning of March here, and my Mizuna, winter radish, rocket, fennel and more are flowering. The answer (for me) appears to be to plant most biennials after midsummer and to just not try to grow them as a spring crop. Problem there of course is that the summer is insanely hot here, which is why I generally waited for early winter to sow cool weather crops. So I have some tinkering about to do, but trying to get these things into the ground so that they do their storing up for the next flowering season thing done before midwinter seems to be the way to go here. E.g., got some nice turnips harvested in mid-Jan.
On the plus side, my chillis are overwintering outside (and producing fruit now) and my kale is a perennial crop.
So - key point is that you need to note when your veg typically start bolting, and aim to have your plants ready to harvest before that time. Once you know this, you can start to plan your replanting schemes.
What you're creating there is just amazing, and the joy you have doing it just shines on your face. Thank you for another great video! It's almost like having an experienced teacher helping me along as I bumble my way through my second year of gardening, and you've helped me both avoid many mistakes, or confirmed some instincts I had were right.
Great and thanks Alexander
@@CharlesDowding1nodig you do an amazing job there is alot to pick up from you to learn more about Gardening from 🇨🇦 #YSW good Saturday afternoon to you Domenico Monteleone bye 👋 from #YSW
I've watched several of these videos and admired that wooden tool for making holes. So much that I paused this video midway and googled what it is called, searching for where to buy or how to make one but never finding one that length. So I concluded that I could probably make one from a replacement or broken shovel handle. I spent about 15 minutes on this tangent only to come back and unpause the video to hear "I use this dibber, a long handled dibber like this, just a spade handle rounded off at the end..."
Well done Randi, nice to work things out!
Haha, well I was thinking if I had just watched the video a little longer I would have had the answer :)
Your gardens are a thing of beauty! You certainly get your exercise on a busy summer day! Thanks for having us along, I’ve learned a lot! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
I was recently a master gardener showplace. ( I was the best)! Lol. I gave your name out all day long. (Two day event) you are the best source for a home owner or small market farmer in my book! All the best from across the pond Charles. Spread the word subscribers!
What an incredibly pleasant way to spend 36 and a half minutes. Thank you.
Cheers Alf 😀
All your plants are bursting with health, great video, well shot, & edited
Grabbed some beer (it is expensive in this country) and watching some Charles Dowding videos. Life is good, and you have a dream-like beautiful garden.
Thanks. Beer + Video, good combo 😀
Your videos are so comprehensive and informative. I'm so happy I've found them. Thank you very much for making them!
May your garden grow well!
Боже, благодарю за этого человека,он делает на своем участке просто райский уголок! На это просто даже приятно смотреть:)) Благодарю Вас, ваши видео очень вдохновляют, и хоть у меня пока лишь свой маленький огородик на подоконнике в квартире, но однажды у меня появится свой полноценный сад и огород на своей земле! Жить на Природе - это поистине благо, но и труд (!), который очень хорошо вознаграждается, если делать все по правилам и с любовью! Привет из России! Больших успехов Вам! Благодарю за то, что делитесь своим опытом!
Огромное спасибо.
Желаю вам скорейшего урожая на вашей земле!
Truly excellent! Invaluable knowledge, clearly and methodically communicated, expertly and beautifully shot. Really helping this novice grower discover the benefits and joy of no dig. Thank you!
Thanks Chelin
A fresh tasty basket of vegs and salad yum 🤤
Yea, thanks
Your productions are getting slicker and slicker. Great stuff - must-see videos for all vegetable gardeners. Well done guys.
FlowerGrower Smith Edward will enjoy this comment. We have no budget and little time so yes, practice helped!
I love listening to you speak... especially when you say compost. 🥰
I have sown the Boltardy beetroot 4-6 seeds in each clump this year and they turned out very great - lovely taste, easy to grow.
Heidi thanks for your feedback, nice result!
My dad was very worried about a good result - he is used to growing beetorot in singles, spaced far apart. He was just amazed by the result
Incredible garden! Love your idea of having plants ready to go in empty spaces, and intersowing carrots between the lettuce. Your garden looks so clean, and productive. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thanks Miranda
You created the garden of eden basically ☺
My compliments to your work Charles
Thanks Lucian
This is the best gardening channel I have come across. It's really helping me . Thank you
My grandfather used to cut the largest part of the stems off the beetroot, but leave two inches on, as this prevents the beet from 'bleeding' when it is cooked. All comes off with a rub afterwards.
Zone 8!! I wish! Here in southern Quebec (zone 4) I start everything indoors, in February and March, when there's still 3 feet of snow on my garden, and the earth is still frozen solid until April and sometimes May! I still do manage to get two, sometimes three harvests of brassicas. I've sometimes planted onion seedlings in the top three inches of unfrozen earth. I'm so envious of you being able to garden 12 months a year!
Thanks for the info Elise, sounds a hectic summer for you and I am impressed by 2-3 brassica crops at least.
It would be very nice to live in his climate and have his expertise! I live in north central Alberta, zone 4ish and I'm always trying to push the season, this year because of covid19 ive had more time to get creative and plan on building some poly tunels over my raised beds, which have been defrosting this week at about 4 inches in some ares, I have started some potatoes, carrots, peas, brassica all in comfortable pots made with newspaper or egg cartons that I will plant without removing into my covered beds. We will see! My hope is by using paper I can grow things I would have direct sown if I lived in a warmer area and plant out without damaging roots. I've also selected fast growing varieties of cold hardy veg.
Brrrrr! Zone 4. But every zone has plusses and minuses. Zone 8 here, deep south Atlantic state. Many things we cannot grow in summer 80/90/100 degree temps for 3-5 months each year. Too hot for many berries, fruits, garlics, onions, even flowers like peonies suffer. No brassicas in hottest months. But we can grow SOMETHING usually for 10 months out of the year. Usually kales, etc., will overwinter if started earlier in fall.
What high quality videos! Excellent sound, camera angles, lighting, calm vibe and well editing. Such a pleasure to learn and watch! Thank you for all your hard work!
Thanks v much Janel
Thanks for taking the time to share your garden and all the great information
excellent gardening
Thank you so much Charles and Steph for taking the time to share your endless knowledge. Videos like these are a gift to us all and I'll be watching them for many years to come!
Great!
As usual with Charles' video, I'm straight out into the garden inspired :)
Nice to hear Ken
Thank you again Charles. I love watching your videos! Warm regards, Wendy (NZ)
Thanks so much Sir, we should be on the toes observing every plant. Thanks for the compost bin
All I can say Charles is “ Just Amazing “ a fantastic video of what can be achieved once one harvest is complete how immediately you have young plants to fill the vacant site! So organised ! Love your channel!👍
Thankyou David
Well done, great video, great people, great work, everything looks fantastic!! :-)Good job, wish you all the best.
Lovely comment thanks
Wish I had the discipline to get up this early. It’s the best part of the day 😃
Another great video! Thanks Charles.
Always looking so beautiful your garden. Down in the Gers, raining everyday, hail also, some ot the crop has been damaged but is recovering. Had to harvest potatoes as the plants were too damaged, what a pleasure to just pull them out of the ground. a good crop; we are now getting courgettes this week so not so bad. We'll send pictures
Gosh you are having the rain we missed, glad you have good results too
best gardening channel on tube so far,im a fan,thanks mr dowding.
Glad you like it Adem
A good wealth of information as always..Those cabbages are very lovely with the pretty little marigolds among them..Great video!🌱👍
Love my 🐛! If I could eat off my greens all year I would be the happiest person on earth
I have also heard of people using physical barriers. Eg sides to any planting beds. Lots of root pests fly extremely low to the floor. Air pressure prevents them pulling up and so using barriers around crops like carrots prevent the fly having easy access to your plants. Essentially the root fly hits the lower part of above ground leaf material .from here, they crawl down the leaf crowns burrowing in to the root of the crop. If we can reduce access, we might avoid the damage entirely and without extra cost and labour ;-)
So glad to see a nice long episode Charles!
I’m so jealous, Beautiful asparagus!
Always a big fan of the obvious effort and thought put into the cinematography in your videos, Charles! Another great video, packed full of info :) Thank you.
Cheers Matthew and it's another thumbs up for Edward
These videos are like medicine for the soul.
Wonderful video Mr. Dowding. Inspiration as i go out and tend my own garden.
Total garden envy!
Another 36 minutes of awesomeness! I’ve just taken on my very first allotment and your videos are my source of inspiration, particularly with regards to succession planting, which I find quite challenging. Thank you so much Charles!
It's just something about your videos that puts me at peace between your property, you're speaking and your passion for gardening just like me. Thank you so much for sharing! Again lol
Well that is very fine!
Thanks so much Charles. I learn new things every video 😊
Fantastic video, full of good information and a lovely setting
Cheers Fergus
I must say this is a fantastic video the way you do the leeks i have been doing it all wrong for the last 40odd years i used to just drop them in the holes and fill the holes with water, your way makes way more sense by pushing in the soil around them and watering the bed before and after sowing them
Thanks Robert. I would not say the other way is wrong, more that this is easier and quicker.
You are such an inspiration, Charles. Amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your love for gardening in this way, and just the beauty of your garden and your vegetables. It is a joy to watch :)
I am heartened to hear this Inger, thankyou
Your best video by far, great work Charles and Edward, excellent .
I have watched this video so many times! Especially at this time of year when my garden looks a bit messy and out of control the beauty of your garden is refreshing.
Thanks so much Kathleen
Thank you! Such a beautiful video and so much garden wisdom being shared.
Me too!!! None one comes close, not even Gardeners World! I am in the US. We are not the Gardner’s the British are, but I’m learning! Thanks a to Mr Dowding .
:)
Thanks Annette nice to hear you are becoming a good gardener!
Dear Charles, I have been following you since the beginning of your videos, what amazing achlevements! Forever gratefull, for every precious advice. ( this one is my favorite). Regards, Lucie
Nice to hear this Lucie, we hit a sweet spot that morning and Edward is gaining editing experience, really enjoys it
Acquired my Allotment March 2017 completely no dig well worth the investment thank you Charles.
Hello John, thanks and I am very happy to hear that
What a great video. A big thank you to you both.
So much information in just one video. Thank you, Charles. Really enjoy your channel content. :)
Great, I was aiming for that, pack it in!
Hi Charles and thanks for the quick response to my question.
Love it, Charles, picture perfect, a favourite garden of abundance with many seedlings ready
Thanks Rebecca
Great video! Especially struck by the gorgeous sound during the last sequence! The picking of the produce.
Ha nice thanks!
Grew Swedes for spring. Ended up with golf balls. Got about 10 lbs of greens though. I know they’re fall plants but gave it a try. Just sowed winter bunch. 🤞🤞🤞
Just in time for sunday brekkie, cheers charles
Best gardening show on RUclips!
Fantastic, love to hear the crispness. :)
Hello Mr. Dowding
Thank you much for sharing your amazing knowledge I thoroughly enjoy your gardening video's.
Best wishes from the US. GOD bless you and your family!
:)
Good quality compost
I’m pleased that in the beginning of this video you spoke of the insects and their reason for being in the garden. We’ve been taught to think of them as pests that damage crops therefore we need to get rid of them. Everything has a purpose in nature and we don’t know what they are sometimes. When we don’t know things we make assumptions and decide that they’re not worth living. It’s the same premise as when flies start hovering around something that’s decaying. They’re present before we notice them and it’s due to a deficiency or the demise of something. They aren’t there to just eat our crops. The different insects, when we take time to understand them, are there because they have sensed a deficiency that we aren’t yet aware of.
Nice comment
My cabbage moths sensed a deficiency of caterpillers on my plants and fixed that in a jiffy!
The only bit of Charles’ wisdom that hasn’t worked out for me has been transplanting beets. They get stunted for some reason and make a tiny carrot shaped root. They do grow well in clumps for me though, this year I have some patches of bed that are solid beets, big ones and no space between them at all. I’ll give it another try in the spring. Presprouting parsnips in a bag was my big breakthrough this year. Worked perfectly. Beets, too, but they aren’t so slow anyways.
I really love ur garden Sir Charles very clean and healthy greens
You are an inspiration sir. This is my favorite time of year in the garden though my collards are showing slug damage already.
Wonderful video! Thank you. Learning a lot from you.....you truly have a gift!
Nice of you to say, thanks
It very nice to know Charles Dowding 's Chanel by upgrading farmer with no dig. Tank U so much. I'm keeping follow all video. #MyGreatingFromIndonesia
Even though I am zone 3 in Canada, I have learned so much from you Charles. Love your music! 😊
Thanks Carole and the music is Edward's choice, he will be pleased to hear that
Thanks for another great video! I am now seeing what to start and plant next. We are going to build a green house and a grow tunnel eventually. We are starting a compost heap now. I have goats,chickens and a pig that will be adding manure to the compost pile too.
I can be in that garden the whole day without getting bored.
I love your videos. I have learned so much from them. I am envious of how weed free your garden is. I am working on it. Using manures and wood chips. I am hoping to get there soon.
You will and be thorough
Thank you. This video made my day. I'll be watching it many times over. Superb production quality and information. Your work is filled with joy. I'd recommend your books and advice to anyone.
Well thanks that is lovely to hear
Beautiful garden you have, forgot to mention that. I finally convinced mom to put woodchips in the garden, she didn't want to listen when we got them and was cool outside, now she did after the plants were diseased and stress. ...well at least we are building it for next year. Hopefully will get lots more to cover the entire back and front yard with woodchips. Very hopeful for next year garden.
Wow, those cabbage seedlings sure grew fast.
This channel just makes me so happy, your voice is so soothing and relaxing and the garden is obviously beautiful
Thanks Pauli, I am happy to hear that
And what a way to finish off the video with some crunchy fresh produce from the garden!!!! Awesome!!!
Cheers Ind
Another fantastic informative video, thank you Charles 😃
Your videos are wonderful and appreciated
How have I not seen your videos before... Australia has very different weather, but your enthusiast, don't fuss too much and give it a go attitude is so infectious how can I go wrong. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to buy all your books.
Great and I wish you successful cropping
this was so therapeudic! another great video!
You inspire me to grow and to find joy in the garden! Thanks for your thoughts on slugs (which are enjoying my kale and cilantro this season). I love your focus on cleaning up the plants instead of attacking the pests.
Cheers Ben!
Thank you for answering some of my problems about heat in compsot bins. You always provide great information for someone who is keen on environment friendly no dig methods in gardening. Top quality video.👍😊
Lovely comment thanks :)
Brilliant video. Thanks Charles
Great advice thank you.
Awesome update again Charles thanking you for making these videos
Thank you. I have learned so much from this channel; easy going and full of hints and tips!
