It's good to hear that you have had some luck with winter cauliflowers in the greenhouse. I hope the onions work well for you! Happy gardening, and thanks for watching.

Pretty much what I do 😊 the are happy unheated once they have germinated. Good luck, let me know how you get on.

@ebenezercottagegarden thanks 👍

Hi George, I don't think you will be disappointed. I occasionally use F1. Though I must say that for the reasons you state, open pollenated seeds are much more appealing to me. If you haven't found them already, Real Seeds have some instructions on how to save seeds on their website. Failing that there is obviously lots of information on KZbin. Thanks for watching.

@ebenezercottagegarden i have already sent for the book real seeds sell for saving seeds .

@GeorgeGauge-r2h that's the way! Enjoy the process

@Sezicoolcat2 thanks for watching. It sounds like you made a good choice there. So much food can be grown even in one raised bed. Tha ka for the positive comment, and please do stop by again. New video at the weekend

Thanks for watching 😊 maybe you are eating them at the best time, nothing wrong with baby veg! Happy gardening.

@gardeningwithkay thanks Kay, I'm looking forward to your next update 😀

@ I need to complete so many videos but I’m just too busy working.. literally have no time yet, especially when it gets dark so quick. I’m looking forward to when the daylight is longer

@gardeningwithkay I'm sure you will be back with a bang! I had some time off over November/ December, things were too busy.

@gardeningwithkay thanks Kay!

@howarddavies3744 Hi Howard, thanks for the advice, I will look into EPDM. Where is EA did you live?

@@ebenezercottagegarden a place called Waterbeach up until two years ago.

@grumpy_poo they are great, aren't they. I need to get an order in. I have confidence that when I am buying through them that the seed quality will be high.

@joyscott374 thanks Joy, I agree that being outdoors makes a big difference. Thanks for watching

I struggled with it for a few years, too. I always have some sets as backup, too. Happy gardening 😀

@@Allotment-of-the-Dead organised is the plan (hopefully). I have the notepad and pen next to me now. I have a few ideas so far. Thanks for watching. You're not far off 1000 subs now 😀

@@ebenezercottagegarden You're poretty close too. Only thing I really organise is the chillies, everything else is a chaotic mess usually. lol.

@Allotment-of-the-Dead oh well, if it works, it works! 1000 will be a nice milestone to hit.

@adamosman2142 Thanks, Adam. Which varieties are you growing?

@jeribrockington800 Thanks for subscribing, I will go and watch some of your videos 😀

@positronixartandlife4545 Thanks! That's really useful feedback. The reason I went for Kyoto Market was because I had seen other videos showing how spring onions grown in Japan have a more substantial stem. I will take you advice on board. I'm glad a fellow Real Seeds enthusiast stumbled across my video. Any varieties you have particularly enjoyed from them?

@@ebenezercottagegarden see now that's some fun and useful detail 🙂 I also noticed that they're bunching which means there's the potential to dig them up, split them apart, and replant them to get even more from a sowing Sadly I've not been able to grow too much in my circumstances but the Wautoma cucumbers I tried grew well, as did the Charmette petit pois (sadly looking on their site, the peas are out of stock); for this year I've grabbed the Jacobs Cattle Red & Gold drying beans (even if they're not to my tastes they are gorgeous looking beans and I plan on growing and seed saving anyway), Paul & Becky's Asturian Tree Cabbage (as a cut and come again cabbage), their breadseed poppies, and Diamond aubergine I also have some cima di rapa/broccoli raab (being half Italian, I'm presuming I don't need to tell you what that is 🤭) from seeds of italy as they offer the 40, 60, 90, and 120 day varities. I'd definitely recommend checking them out if you've not done so as they offer a _lot_ of options, including a bunch from the Alpine region which means they shouldn't struggle to grow in our colder UK climate

@positronixartandlife4545 yes I love cime di rapa. I have some of the 120 day variety growing in my greenhouse. You can see me watering them in the opening mintage for this video. I'm probably going to do a cooking video with them in the next couple of weeks. I'm waiting for the buds to appear.

@@doom7998 they are so good, I need to do an order for this year. Do you have any suggestions?

Vespa field beans - small broad beans very prolific

@henrybartram6040 thanks, happy growing.

Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you found my channel. Good luck with your onions, I would love to hear how you get on. Do you post gardening videos, too?

@@Growingmyownfood haha, they were lovely. I just hope the don't venture in and eat my crops!

@@theukyankee 👌 which varieties will you go for?

@@ebenezercottagegarden Cayenne, Apache, Twilight, Aja Mango and Red Habanero. I've done Cayenne and the Aja before and had good results, and the others are new to me. We like our hot chilis in our house!

They all sound great! Happy gardening

@myrustygarden Happy New Year, let's hope it's a good one 👍

Hi, I'm in England. I'm half italian and half English 😀 how about you?

Я з України 🇺🇦​@@ebenezercottagegarden

Thanks, Ali, same to you. I look forward to watching your garden grow in 2025.

Thanks, I've just subscribed to you. I will watch some of your videos soon 🪴 🌱 🌿

Дякую 🤝🏻 ​@@ebenezercottagegarden

@@thomasgenti8627 fingers crossed, thanks for the tip! Have a good weekend 😀

I completely agree. So many people on social media are just going for it and hoping for the best. They can be really dangerous 😳 ☠️

​@@ebenezercottagegarden True but (at least in europe where I'm from) you have to be either completrly blind or without taste buds to be poisoned by a Porcini lookalike. The only non-edible species that could somewhat be mistaken for it (bitter bolete) is extremely bitter and you'd have to eat a lot of it to actually be poisoned. I collected a lot the last few weeks - I live in the black forest in germany. We dry them and use them in sauces with pasta or in risotto. Very tasty! The statement is absolutely true for any kind of gilled mushroom though. Especially young white ones which could be confused for destroying angels or death caps. Btw we can also find wild morelles here, which are even more expesive when bought :D

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀

@@gardeningwithkay still loads of time for garlic 😀

@@ebenezercottagegarden I actually planted it today.. I must have planted 160 cloves of garlic today and 60 elephant garlic😅😅😅I’m knackered.. crouching and squatting.. my legs are broken😆

That's impressive! ​@gardeningwithkay

@@zhannahoncharenko that's amazing to hear! Is it possible to see the community garden on youtube/instagram?

Hi Ali, they usually ripen up around May in the greenhouse. Also, I plant them out just in front of where the tomatoes go. They don't seem to mind being near each other for a month or so. The other option is to grow them in pots. 😊 the shreader used to be my grandads you can see "Made in West Germany" written on it. I think its finest days are in the past, but it still works enough to justify me keeping it. I have also done a similar technique to you with the lawnmower. My lawnmower broke a week or so ago. Luckily, I got the "final cut" in.

@@ebenezercottagegarden the old tools worked the best for sure Lawrence and German built were amazing tools. Yikes well at least you got the final lawn cutting in 👍👍

​@myrustygarden you're not wrong Ali, generally I always prefer and old tool to a new one. I have an indestructible shovel that cost me £2.50

@@ebenezercottagegarden yes some of the best tools I have are either Gerald’s or I bought off marketplace for less than $10

I'm all up for saving money and getting better tools at the same time 😀

@gardeningwithkay it's been a strange year, hasn't it. Some things haven't done so well. I have found that "All Year Round" Cauliflower has usually done well.

It tasted great! Thanks for watching

Thanks Ali, it's all good fun!

@@toomuchfandangothanks so much, that's lovely to hear. It's also just the inspiration I need to get out and film a video this weekend. Thanks for subscribing 😀

Thanks Kay, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@wisgems5942 I'm glad you enjoyed it Tooms

@@myrustygarden thanks Ali, I'm glad you enjoyed the video 📹

It's really worth doing if you can :)

Thanks, Ali. Blickling Hall is an amazing place to visit. It was the home of Anne Boleyn. I'm lucky that I can walk there from my house. Happy gardening 😀

@@ebenezercottagegarden awesome 😎

@jk925 thanks, hope you enjoyed the video

Thanks Kay!

I will do that!

@mop3625 I think I was enjoying my creative freedom a little too much... 😄

Thanks, Ali! I had to do it. Happy growing 😊

I would say that most of mine from seed were not quite ready. I had to rip off the plaster and pull them up because I had more and more dying off. Oh well! I know not to plant alliums in that bed next year.

@@ebenezercottagegarden as it’s been so wet I was worried about white rot too

It's been brutal!

Thank you 😀

They taste so good! Variety is Norfolk f1
