watched your video the other day and forgot to reply. Elephant Garlic and Hard Neck Garlic have scapes. Soft Neck Garlic does not. You harvest the soft neck earlier than the others but it stores better than the others. Shame about your tomatoes just finished planting my San Marzane and Roma Tomatoes will be planting some outdoors soon

We are growing some of the same varieties. You’ll have to keep us updated on rebel starfighter prime. I’ve found it really spindly and pathetic! What will you use all the baths for? I don’t have an allotment, just a garden I’ve made into a teeny allotment x
@uncle8702 ай бұрын
Hi thanks for the comment the bath's were on the plot when I took the plot on about 20 year ago 2 of them a will try and use as worm bins the others a would quite happily get rid of 💚

i just got out of hospital yesterday, after a painful 12 days. the first thing i did this morning was take a look in the polytunnel. i shouldn't really be surprised but everything has really took off. i expect the same with your tomatos once you put them in deeper soil. those strawberry planters look the business, marra....................brian

quite a few different choices to be honest any 12 volt DC fan and a reasonable size solar panel should do it (only runs when needed in the sunshine)

i spent yet more time in hospital a couple of months ago, and lost most of my peppers. the tomatos eventually germinated so i'll be having a late crop this year. i can't rely on my family to help. i don't understant why more gardeners don't grow late potatoes in a tower of pots. they are indeterminate. because i can't get to the rest of my pots i'll probably stay at 2 high, but i think youre onto a winner with 4 pots high. just build up ther compost gradually as the plants grow. keep the videos coming, marra.....................brian

Hi Cher sorry a haven't been about much kinda mislaid my mojo for gardening and unlike you struggle with the editing,wasn't going to bother with chillies at all this year with wasting all of last year's but decided only 3 types was only going to be the two pineapple aji for a fermented sauce (nice idea for a video for you) and the type a like to eat pickled but the company a got the mammoth jalapeno from also sent me some free sugar Rush peach Stripey so have but one of the in also lol ;<}

@@uncle870 Yeah, missed your videos Barry, kept an eye out for ya. As I am the only one who eats chillis in my household I have only grown this one and just an ordinary chilli, with my new chopper I got I can now just chopped them up and freeze them and just use them in my own dishes. I will have a look at the fermented sauce( usually I never know how long they are meant to last before they go off) .You have so much potential in your allotment Barry, Perhaps you can divide it up into 10 sections and just work on one section sorting and organising each week/month . You will have it sorted by the end of the year,.🤗🤗💖💖🦘🦘👍👍😀😀Cheryl
