Ep 4 🌱 Summer Sowing: How to Plant Seeds in June and July for a Bountiful Harvest!"

[@juliehartley3652]

Great that you got some seeds planted. It'll be interesting to see what grows. 👍

[@growwithwill7841]

Thank you, it feels late in the year to be starting from seed but will be nice to have my first harvest. 🙂🌱

@@growwithwill7841 There are lots of gardening channels on KZbin that all are advocating planting things in July and soon all their 'What To Plant In August' videos will be out. Charles Dowding is a good channel to follow and also GrowVeg - they have lots of useful information. I follow lots of gardening channels as you can probably guess. They all have good tips for growing. 😊

Beds are looking good, progressing nicely. I'm not a very good gardener at all and have failures all the time due to lack of knowledge but one thing I learned is just to grow what I will eat. Last year I had a great crop of kale.......I hate kale!!! 😁

[@growwithwill7841]

That’s a great idea, I plan on doing the same. Hopefully I can find veg I like for each time of year. 🌱🙂

Hi will jyst come across your channel and its interested of how you already managed to clear space and put 8n a raised bed and i have a tip for you if you want free labels recycle a milk gallon thats finished and cut in to lables also if you have nettles on your plot chop into a bucket add water and let the nettles rot and breakdown and creat a free fertiliser then when your watering your crops dilute that fertiliser with water dont make the mistake of using the nettle fertiliser like that as it will burn your roots of the crops your growing Happy Gardening

[@growwithwill7841]

Thank you for the top tips. I am going to give both of these a try 🙂🌱

@@growwithwill7841 also another tip for next year if your growing sweetcorn do the three sisters method like corn ,squash /pumpkin and climbing beans and if you want to grow cabbage, cauliflower make sure you cover them with a hoop tunnel to prevent white cabbage butterflies and use something to deter slugs and snails so they don't eat your crops

If you soak your leeks and spring onions in a bucket of water before you plant them you can swish all the soil off much easier to seperate that way , leeks usually have a flat leaf spring onion round 👍 my down fall forgeting to label or "i'll remember what they are do i NO not a clue "😂

[@growwithwill7841]

That’s such a great idea, thank you for sharing and yes I need to remember to label my seeds moving forward 😂🌱

[@gardentothekitchenwithtracy]

New subscriber, just watched your videos what a good allotment with a lot of hidden gems, fruit and potatoes, look forward to watching what you do with it, your doing so well. Good luck, Tracy 😊

[@growwithwill7841]

Thank you for the sub and kind words. I have been lucky with the existing crops 🙂🌱

[@annpryce6476]

Did you label your rows? So easy to forget what is planted where lol. Good luck with your allotment.

[@growwithwill7841]

Thank you, no I wish I had 😞 still learning.

[@helenstewart2085]

​@@growwithwill7841Don't label my beds but the rows are always the same 2 carrots, 2 beetroot 1 parsnip, repeat a month later but 2 beetroot and 2 carrots no more parsnips, for 3 months of spring, then late July sow last 2 beetroot and carrots. Then in September sow some small carrots in 2 large pots 40 cm by 40 cm deep, for Spring eating.

[@growwithwill7841]

Thank you, agree I think I got a bit excited to finally be sowing 🙂🌱
