Fred, merry christmas, and you are never ever too old for a bigger poly tunnel. Santa might surprise you !!! Would love to try growing sprouts, but our temp is to warm . We had a 40c day last week and probably the same on boxing day, but a cool 35c for christmas day. Enjoy your videos, thank you. ❤❤❤

If you get a bunch of little tiny potatoes, they make a delicious side dish cooked in beef gravy. Also good in stews and soups. I'm quite thankful for every vegetable I have gotten this year. I replanted my pots with Blue Lake 274 Bush Beans, turnips and bunching onions. I highly recommend the Blue Lake 274 Bush Beans. They are very prolific. Subbed.

Hi. If you are saying that you got the same from 6 potatoes in one container. Then put 3 in each of 2 containers and you would get twice as much potatoes for 6.

Hi Fred. I bought soil from ASDA and it was so fibrous and an insult to the name soil. I honestly wonder how a company can buy crap in and not look at it first. It's their reputation as well. I put mine in the compost heap to mix under as I didn't have the heart to plant anything into it. Your onions are looking great. You can add sulphhate of ammonia to feed them. I use it on my kelsae.
