Thank you Flora. Will they grow well from 30L containers, rather than in the ground, and also do they grow up galvanised mesh very well? We have a large porch and would like to grow them up mesh between each of the posts. They will get plenty of sun and i'm hoping they will act as a good wind breaker before winter. Appreciate your advice and also anything else you recommend we could grow in same location/setup. Thanks again! 😃

My wildflower garden has had 33 plant species flower so far this year and will exceed 50 before the end of the year. The target is a hundred self sustaining species in less than 80 square yards. You have to proactively put the stuff in and do some species management though during set up. It is a woodland and margin garden. Remember the aim is flowering NOT PRETTY FLOWERING, moss, docks, nettles and grass (seven species of grass last year) etc count. I started with raked bare earth and 5 species in the garden 2 summers ago. The flashy brigade eg tulips and forget-me-nots help with the mow-the-weed-patch tidy minds. The plants are just the indicator species you want a lot more than just them. One of the plants to add several specimens of this season is ragwort because I'm after the cinnabar moth also as an addition; who knows that may attract a cuckoo. However I’d settle for a song thrush nesting in the sycamore leaf-bowl that I am protecting. One song thrush in five years! When I was a boy they were so common in gardens.

Lovely video- chard lover here, I have a t -shirt worn at market that has a farmer gal triumphantly wielding a bunch of greens that is captioned-"Take Chard!!" I have not tried chard with sweet potatoes but do cook it quite alot like you, though sautéing onions and peppers with the stems, steaming the leaves- here in Maine, we love vinegar and chard seldom goes naked without it. Take care, thank you.

@floragarveygardening1864
@floragarveygardening1864 4 ай бұрын
Hi! It depends whether you are growing them inside a greenhouse or outside, and on the weather we have this summer! It’s so tricky with aubergines and peppers - you really need to start them off early, but then it is too cold and there isn’t enough light. I often end up buying plants as professional nurseries have the means to get them going strongly before we gardeners can. I would keep 3 or 4 and give them as much nutrition (compost, seaweed), heat, and light as you can manage, and you might be lucky 🤞. Good luck!

Excellent video. Know I have a simple starter recipe for chard, so thanks. I've never eaten chard but will be sowing two troughs later today (one of each). Does it freeze well? I have limited space and find growing a glut which I freeze helps me to free up growing areas so I can follow on with the next thing. Do you grow the sweet potatoes yourself and if so is it out doors?
@floragarveygardening1864
@floragarveygardening1864 4 ай бұрын
Go for it! Chard freezes reasonably well if cooked first, stalks and leaves separately. Sadly I didn’t grow the sweet potatoes - trying to wean myself off them and onto roasted carrot which grow better here, but I’m finding it quite hard! Good luck! Flo

Ooh marvellous!! I was just about to complain that we didn't see nearly enough of you last season, which I hope will be compensated for this year! That looks like a wonderful way to serve chard. It's autumn here in Tasmania, and I am blessed with abundant chard of glorious colours, much of which is gobbled up by 🐐 and guinea pigs. I need a new chard recipe. The only vegetable dish my vegephobe son would voluntarily eat is spanakopita, surprisingly. Another favourite of mine is spicy lentils and rice with chard. Do keep us up to date with your gardens and recipes please!

Thanks may give this a go next year. Cooking tips are really useful as I have never eaten this vegetable before. Will it grow well in half shade? Will it freeze for storage? Can you sow direct into containers (troughs) after frost and still get a decent crop? Do you need to feed throughout growing season? I'm best with crops that, after initial set up and watering apart, tolerate a bit of neglect.
@floragarveygardening1864
@floragarveygardening1864 11 ай бұрын
Yes go for it! Half shade: yes but it won’t be quite as vigorous. In a hot dry summer it would positively enjoy some shade. Freezing: I’ve never tried. I guess I would chop it up and possibly cook it before freezing? Sowing direct into troughs after the last frost should work nicely, as long as it gets plenty of water. Good luck!
