[@colb1416]

Looking good Ivan. 👍 I've got everything in containers as I'm still waiting for an allotment. I shall definitely be carrying on with it even when I do get my allotment. My onions are doing way better than I thought. Thanks mate 👍

It is strange how a day of overcast and a bit of Yorkshire drizzle boosts your plants. Mine are looking better today having a break from the sun.

[@joolsmartin1996]

Yup i seen same in cheshire

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

True

Love this channel. I think the courgettes have not been pollinated. Maybe try and hand pollinate the fruit baring flowers using the male flowers with a cotton bud or small brush and see if that makes a difference. Great video again.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thanks for the tips Adam much appreciated

[@StevesRepairs]

Thanks Ivan, for this brilliant update on the container garden, everything is looking marvellous. Take care and all the best. Stevie

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thanks, you too!

It has really been fun following you from the start of your plantings to the ending of many of them. Can't wait to see the rest of the harvest and then what you start for fall. We don't start planting for fall until the heat breaks here in Texas. Many of our brassicas will grow over the winter as well as our lettuces with covering when it freezes. We also grow our garlic and onions over winter.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Connie been great having you on board i will soon be planning my Autumn Garden too

[@sheilathomas8528]

Thanks Ivan, for another great tour around the container garden. Sorry don't know anything about growing courgettes, I only know what I've learnt from you. Thanks for sharing.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hi Sheila just found out they are not pollinated so i will have to do it by hand lots of great people on this channel including you Thank you

[@chicosmummy]

Love this set up. I aspire to have a container garden like yours. I think my problem is knowing when to plant things so this year I've kept dates of everything so I can adjust next year.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

You can do it!

[@charlotteinnocent8752]

I had a pumpkin plant that did what your courgette plant is doing. I did eventually get a few pumpkins on it that stayed and got big.. I really wasn't sure what caused it either. Just utterly baby the courgettes you see.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Charlotte

Thank you Victoria

Hi Ivan. Thank you for showing the onions. Mine are same as yours. One or two are huge some are smaller. Some have bent over, but I'm going to leave them a while. I was watching a cooking channel of yours regarding sandwich spread. Gosh that took me back in time. Bit mad your cucumbers have actually got cucumber on Mine seem to be way behind. But I have to plant everything in straw bales as I have no soil. Most things are doing brilliant in them. Also I was watching another guy who hand pollinated his squash if he has problems. Maybe you could try that. Many thanks again for the onion show. Maria

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Maria i will try that

Thank you Cate

[@shelliejax6527]

Wish I could do more container gardening but I cant get rid of the vine weevil no matter what I try. They're relentless every year. The only success I have is in my large raised beds and with things planted directly in the ground. Theres more roots than they can munch through then! Your container garden looks great 😊

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Shellie

[@sylviamcgeary3587]

I'm growing in containers as disabled. First time im trying to grow own veg Problem is bugs in my cauliflower leaves. Have used various things to get rid of the yellow clumps of eggs i think are butterfly eggs. Water leaves with soapy water. Fungus spray. Don't think I'm going to get anything as haven't even started to grow the heads. Cabbage doing OK. Just Any advice from any one. Please Sweetcorn 3ft tall nothing else showing. Lol

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

The only way to stop it is net the cabbages and cauliflowers to keep butterflies off or it will be a never ending battle Thank you Sylvia

[@victoriawillis3580]

Do you juice or eat the strawberry or raspberry leaves? They are superfoods

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

We dont but thank you for the tip Victoria

[@harrymonk6]

The courgettes do that because the female flowers haven't been pollinated by male flowers . If the insects aren't moving pollen you may have to do it yourself with a small paint brush

[@donnabailey5325]

Looking Lush Ivan 🫛🥒🥔🍓🍅🍈🥕

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Donna

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Good call Thank you Harry

[@LauraRidgway-h2q]

I've set up a bee hotel and it's helping the pollination of my veggies. I would set one up in you container garden. Easy and cheap to make.

[@bluewolf4915]

Agree

[@Aicdownload2006]

I have been watching your helpful videos for a while now Ivan as a first time gardener myself your tips have been very helpful its been great to see your container garden doing well me and my other half are growing produce in containers and thanks to your idvice we are having a decent season so far. I also watch your cooking channel from time to time and enjoyed your video on pickling onions im growing a some silver skin onions in a pot for preserving another great video keep up the grest work.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

So nice of you Thank you for being part of both Channels much appreciated

[@victoriadunnett4745]

Our courgette plants are enormous!! But not getting any flowers ☹️

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hi Victoria they may come a little later Thank you

[@victoriadunnett4745]

Thank you! Been quite disappointed,nothing got any fruit/veg yet,but plants certainly growing incredibly fast!! Love watching your videos for inspiration

[@VictoriaLoves]

Hand pollinate the courgette that should fix it 😊

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Brill Thank you

[@jessrossie95]

It is usually lack of polination that makes the courgettes fall off. Its so annoying when it happens 🙄

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Jessica

[@MrLaking123]

the courgettes are aborting fruit because there isn't enough soil in the pot to support all of them just leave one or two on and they won't drop

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you
