Steve you might be the best gardener on the internet

[@SteveRichards]

That’s nice of you to say but im sure they’re plenty of much more talented gardeners out there. I’m just trying to feed my family in a few hours a week, which hopefully makes me an efficient gardener, who doesn’t like to do anything fancy : all the best - Steve

[@AliW-xu4lv]

I wholeheartedly agree! I wish I could post photos of my results from following steves advice, to help to encourage others to do the same and to furthur prove that his methods really work. I'd never have acheived anywhere close if I'd not found his channel. Thanks Steve!

You should get a free Notion account, with that you are one click away from sharing a page of photos

@@SteveRichards I'll look into that, Steve, thanks! All the best - Alison

[@TheEnglishladyskitchengarden]

If ever I feel a little fed up battling all the slugs and bugs I only need to watch one of your videos. It encourages me not to give up.

You've certainly got green fingers brilliant allotment tour ❤

[@rik80280]

Wow, that is an amazing amount of peppers! I'm so impressed you can get them to ripen up that well in your climate.

[@SteveRichards]

I’ve become pretty good at growing peppers over the years

Looks amazing, as always!

[@myrustygarden]

Excellent harvests Steve you have had another fabulous season. Have a superb weekend, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦

[@SteveRichards]

I can’t complain, always a few failures, but more successes

[@Worldslayer85]

Love your work m8! From Nz

[@AlexGal936]

I've never grown sweet peppers before but I'm feeling inspired. Where'd do you get the plastic for your covered frames please

Plot looking amazing,really lush green. Sprouts are doing well. Slugs have been such an issue this year. The tomatoes outside U would be best to cut all that green growth off. Let the light get to the tomatoes. I grow all my tomatoes outside and I cut back the he green growth earlier and hashly. Hope that helps ( not that U need it ) 😂

[@SteveRichards]

I normally do that Mark but I’ve just run out of time, I did do it in the tunnel

[@markshaw5835]

@@SteveRichards it takes a long time sorting it all out doesn't it

[@SteveRichards]

I’ve had so little gardening time this year, some things have to be left to fend for themselves. I’m hoping to be back on top of things next year

[@markshaw5835]

@@SteveRichards agreed Ive felt the same this year as well been so busy

[@SteveRichards]

Thanks for the nudge Mark, I got it done this morning before doing the harvest!

[@kaarrff]

Always inspiring, thanks Steve. What do you keep in the metal filing cabinet at the polytunnel door?

[@SteveRichards]

Nets and fleece mainly, but also some fertilisers

[@z.mushtaq457]

Is there still any time to plant some lettice and spinach if done in a cold frame or under a cloche?

[@SteveRichards]

To plant yes, I plant my winter lettuces in early October, you just have time to sow now, but don’t leave it much longer, otherwise you won’t be harvesting much until spring. A cold frame is better than a cloche

[@mahlapropyzm9180]

You freeze peppers? Does that work or do they go mushy?

[@SteveRichards]

No, they are soft, but no worse than when cooked from fresh

[@megaman2016]

Like if your summer hasn't started yet 😢

[@SteveRichards]

That’s the thing with gardening year round, you have to keep on planting
