I would say a "fruit box with large holes", or a "plastic crates" and not a "basket".

Chris keep in mind actually tomato's and cucumbers do well together in holland we call them wet fruits. What we call dry fruits, aubergine, paprika, pepers not go well together in the same space as tomatos and cucumbers. And as you see you pepers now start to grow well now your tomatos and cucumbers came to an end. When you make a seperation in the greengous, with a glass wall of some plastic, and dry fruits and wet fruits are not in clice contact you will see both types do much better and you can harvest dry fruits much earlier.

It is most probably as the bees land on the flowers of the wet fruits and than on the flowers of the dry fruits and back and forward mixing pollen around which the dry fruits not like. Seperating them, or preferably split them into two greenhouses, is stronly reducing the mixing of pollen. And especially cucumber pollen seem to do the harm as when the cucumbers come to an end the paprika will start growing. Regareds, Guus

With garlic, I grow the biggest bulbs, and the small ones I peel and puree with a little oil and sea salt. I freeze the puree in silicon bottomed ice cube trays, and then store the lot in a tub. It makes for easy use, and not having to deal with sprouting garlic/no garlic later in the year. I sell any excess (generally the best examples) at £10 a kg, a couple of months after harvest, when dry. I freeze sweetcorn dehusked, chillis as is, and tomatoes go for jarring as passatta. I'd love to process and freeze my spuds, but lack freezer space. All storage is solar powered.

You can remove the lower leaves on the aubergines to make harvesting easier, all the curling leaves too. Tomatoes need sun to ripen, even on the plants. Thin out a lot of those leaves and remove all of the lower leaves exposing at least the bottom third of the plant. Charles Dowding’s vids of his greenhouse this and last year are good examples. Um, garlic are heavy feeders so if you put compost on anywhere that bed could use at least 1/2”. A few questions… Will you be putting in any broad beans/broccoli/cabbages for overwintering? We’re in 8b and they all do fantastic over the winter. (Autumn planted Brussel sprouts do have to stay the entire summer before they produce but we love them.) Will you be overwintering the peppers? (They are perennials.) Do you feed the apple pulp to the chickens? A real treat for them!

Its a lot of work to can your harvest. I kid you not I can quite a bit. Each batch of tomatoes takes 90 mins in a water bath. Depending on your set up and how much you intend to can it can take the whole day to can 40 to 80 quarts then the next day you have to do it all over again except that its 10 quarts and then 10 the next day and so on. You will have very high yield days and the more you grow the more you have to do. I do not know that channel and I doubt I would ever watch it as most of them make it look easy and fast when its not even close to being that. I processed over 1200 lbs of tomatoes this year. Of which took me the better part of the summer along with a lot of other stuff.

This year I pulled well over 1200 lbs of tomatoes from my garden and another 500 to 750 lbs of cucumbers, squash, butternut, green peppers and yellow peppers. I also grew a bunch of herbs and just pulled the last of the herbs a couple of weeks ago and have have 16 large bunches hanging in one of my rooms from hooks from the ceiling. In the end I canned damn near all of the tomatoes with a loss of around 10% or less that were tossed due to grasshoppers or other bad looking stuff or just overall waste from either peeling them or turning them in to sauce. My yield was around 400 quarts of which weigh about 2lbs each. ( 800 lbs total give or take ) Lots of it was cooked down in to sauce, rotel ( its a mix of tomatoes, spices and green chilies for tacos ) Of the rest of the stuff we canned the yellow and green peppers or froze them for later use in other things we canned. We tried to give away as much squash as we could and ended up just tossing a bunch of it in one of our ditches for the animals. We did can all of the butternut squash as we use that a lot when we have them. Overall I am quite happy with this years yield. Though I am not happy about the back breaking work that goes in to picking them. This coming planting season I will be redoing the entire garden and adjusting the drip line system to be on more than a single zone. I will also be changing the fertilizer to a water base one. The high end weed barrier did its job so well that it can be used for years and years to come. Except for the fact that the 2 rows that I have right now will be moved so that the new garden design can be put in. We are going to build hoops for all of the vine plants and then box in for the random other stuff. Boxing in is just adding a frame so that what weed barrier is cut open does not spill out on to the rest of the garden area. Less work and more food. We did not have to do a darn thing this year on tending to the plants. The less we have to do the better. We are only after the food. Overall I am very impressed for this season. Next season will be geared towards more odds and ends stuff.

WOW, great harvest this year. I haven't seen your videos for awhile and I'm SO impressed with your gorgeous greenhouse! Now I have to go back and watch that build series. A greenhouse like that would cost $30k + here in the US...maybe as much as $50k, unless of course you built it yourself. Can't wait to watch that and find out where you got all your glass as well. Beautiful!

Great video Kris! Glad you could get the sheep swapped without much hassle, and well done on all the garden produce!
