Here's a guy who knows his stuff. I enjoy watching your videos Ivan, and listening and learning. Thank you!

Awesome, thank you Carrie much appreciated

[@katielee9354]

Just wanted you to know this has worked perfectly. Thank you, such a good idea. We love our salad leaves from our shaded patio area but last year l had them all in indiv containers which was a pain when harvesting. l decided to try your idea this year.. We had already bought large plastic planters on sale from wilko and l planted them up with chives in centre then mint, oregano and parsley in a cross pattern and the 4 left over spaces l put red apache lettuce , spinach, red leaf mustard & red leaf pak choi. The containers look so pretty and so practical, l just go out with a colander and pick a few leaves off each salad leaves and the plants carry on growing & still look ornamental. Perfect.

I planted up my herbs last weekend. I like to have them at home as it means i use them a lot more. i will dry a TON for winter too. I like making my own mix of herbs! what ever grows the best in the year.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Sounds great!

Thanks Ivan, for this great instructional vlog, I grow lots of herbs in containers and basil throughout the year on my window ledge. Take care and all the best. Stevie

Now you've got me wondering where I put my mint pots...... can't remember what I did with them last fall. The snow just finally melted and I guess I'll go look for them today :) After I plant out the peas... The weather is supposed to be 20 degrees (F) colder than normal this week, maybe I'll wait on the peas after all. 🥶

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

May be a good idea to wait they wont grow much anyway so why risk it Thank you Paula

Thank you

Ivan, I have just the right trough for your herb garden idea. Two spinach seedlings I found with the beets are going to be happy in it. I have rosemary, lavender, oregano, thyme and mint rooted cuttings that will be happy growing together instead of being in pots. I watched just in time as I was going to give them away. Oh, my!

[@josiebridges3583]

I will have to root some more to give away. Oh, will borage be too big? I have volunteers in a pot.

Good video Ivan my big polytunnel got ripped apart with the wind I built it on my own 26x15 so I sent for a new cover today I will just use the smaller tunnel 20x10 the wind hasn’t ceased here in drumbo I live on top of a hill but the view is beautiful anyway sorry to be a bore love your videos 🤝

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Not boring at all Kenneth Good to hear from you Thank you

[@captaintreepig993]

I have herbs in containers that survived winter, namely sage, thyme, rosemary and parsley. I'm going to try growing them in the poundshop stackable tubs. As well as strawberries.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Sounds good to me Thank you

[@juha7830]

Thank you Ivan. We have heavy clay soil with bad drainage and harash winter up here in the north so most of my herbs wont survive the winter. Perhaps I should plant them in containers. Salvia, rosemary, thyme are struggling but chives make it.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Sounds good to me Juha Thank you

[@martynrsmith8475]

Ivan Do you keep that bubble wrap on through the season.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

No not normally but with the weather being as it is im not sure this year Thank you Martyn

[@martynrsmith8475]

Ivan Won't that mint fully take over that container.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

You are right it will try but i will harvest and remove portions of the mint as it grows Thank you Martyn
