Join me in this week's garden adventure as I update you on the sunflowers, legumes like runner beans, and pumpkins in my allotment garden. After attending the annual allotment BBQ, I shared some seedlings with fellow plot holders, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie.
The following day, I delved back into the garden, planting more beans and introducing king tut peas, rumored to have been discovered in King Tut's tomb by Howard Carter and brought back to life in England. A fascinating piece of garden lore!
In a stroke of luck, a friend gifted me some celery plants perfect for the shady area of my plot, adding a new dimension to my gardening endeavors.

You must just love the poly tunnel, right now. It looks absolutely amazing. I am proper jealous of that space. A green house is on my 'one day, maybe' list.

It's such a lovely space. I need a good sort out before the tomatoes go in. I only wish you could get a greenhouse 🙏❤️🌱

[@jeanholdstock3695]

Hi Danny, congratulations on your 6K subscribers (never have I been so proud to be referred to as an 'old codger' 🤣) Your plot is looking great, and your polytunnel is needing elasticated sides. I try to save as many of my own seeds as possible, it really makes a difference to the gardening budget. Have a great week ahead xx

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Thank you Jean! Haha you're a nice old codger though 😂😂😂😂🌱 the tunnel is bursting! Haha yes I'm actively trying to save seed and a lot of the flowers are saved seed this year 😊🌱🌷

[@dustyflats3832]

I always wondered why some sow seeds indoors that I have always sowed direct. I’ll try a few and see why I guess. Those tulips are still a brite spot! 🤩 Baby’s breath if kept too wet can dampen off and that’s probably why some have trouble. I’ll trade you some sheep sorrel for some nettles-well…second thought you can keep the nettles as I have plenty.😊 Yes to saving seeds. I’m hoping to remember to bag some blooms this year. Things are out of hand and it’s amazing how many blame this inflation on our president when the world is experiencing it. Today and for the year the big purchase was additional parts for irrigation. We are still in drought in Wisconsin, US. Apparently La Niña is returning this summer and should bring the rain back. Isn’t it sooo exciting to find happy surprises like your cucumbers?👏🏼👏🏼. I’m still dancing over all the returns after our warm winter 💃👏🏼💃👏🏼🎉 . 😂😂ran out of space awhile ago and because it’s unusually warm I’m cautiously planting out and shifting the stock with frost cloths nearby. I tell them sink or swim as they could get killed easily hanging out in the greenhouse. I need a rebuild and a level floor for racks as it makes it difficult to water. Some plants I’m seeing in other videos are way too wet and starving for either light, heat or both. Oh Wow, I think the yellow tulips are planning a party as I had yellow tulips I know I didn’t plant especially in the odd places they showed up.😅 Trying sweet peas for first time and I direct sowed in pots with obelisks and I think they may need more height-we will see if I have to get creative later. I have so much to do, but had to take a break after gathering supplies. Potting to do, thinning to do, planting, weeding and irrigation. Rain on Tuesday we hope. It’s been a great spring and we haven’t had that in a LONG TIME. It’s shaping up to be a great growing season.

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Oh how exciting! Yes seed prices are crazy now. Save as much as you can.. yes we usually start some off indoors due to all the cold and rain we have in early spring. If we direct sow.. slugs may take them. Good luck with the sweetpea! Mine usually climb to around 180cm! Good luck with your growing. Danny 🌱

[@bewoodford2807]

I've been growing for over 50 years and I still can't bring myself to cull my seedlings/ It would make me feel like a murderer, lol. I tend to pot all my seedlings on, and then give them away to neighbours and family and charity plant sales. I don't have bird feeders on my plot at teh moment but I do have 3 bird feeders at home garden.My beans are just germinating today, 6th, sown on the 1st. Home saved Firestorm seed. I've bought lots of new propagating stuff this year- all set now fors the next few years or hopefully longer as I invested in long life seed modules and gravel trays. Great video Danny. Thank you. Happy gardening 🙂

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Oh I'm the same! I feel so bad as I feel they've worked hard to germinate and then we just cull them. I do try and save as many as I can haha! Yes I've done the same. I'd rather buy once and it last me a lifetime. Thank you so much. Danny 🌱

[@ibrstellar1080]

That's a load of seedlings there Danny and so many Sun flowers😁.

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

I am yet to work out where they are all going 😂😂

[@TuftyMcTavish]

💷 Ahhh, the old, “I’ve got everything I need” line, which I myself say endlessly too! 😆 I’ve been using Containerwise since 2020 - but curiously haven’t found myself using those deep 15’s that you showed us. I find that the shallower 15’s are marvellous for keeping things in for a while, so I’ve got about 10 in total. I haven’t tried the newer HR or CD models simply because I heavily invested in my Containerwise collection years before they came to market, so I’m trying to avoid buying more. Hence why I keep saying to myself that I’ve got what I need! 😁 But there’s often something new. This year I’m trying soaker hoses, after I got a Bosch water pump last year which turned out to be a revelation. Absolutely marvelling at your trays upon trays of healthy looking plants. I struggle with germination - old seed, dried out compost maybe - and then over water them so that they start… and then give up. I still haven’t quite got the knack there. This year I put my 🍅 seedlings into three different types of compost and the differences have been remarkable. One brand has done well while the rest are truly shocking - same seed, same age, same conditions, only different compost. So maybe that isn’t helping. 🌽 in one compost brand were way taller than the tray in another brand 🤷‍♂️ That has been tremendously frustrating.

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

I know what you mean. I'm not a fan of the CD trays. They are just too small for how I garden. But I will say the HR10 & 20 are perfect sizes. Yes compost is so hit & miss these days. I do buy good compost for my plants tbh.. so I never have many struggles.

i gave up with lemongrass seeds. Try fresh lemongrass from a supermarket. Two healthy stems for around £0.75. Pop them in water, they root in 10 days or so, then pot them on. Been overwintering mine and they are out on the plot now. See you Sunday!

Looking fab. 100 steps a head of my plot. Not sure its happening for me this year. Only chili & peppers potaotoes planted. So behind and mojo left the building. On a positive note 2 home born chicks this year so far.

Hey it's never a race. Just do what you can and if that's all you manage. Then that's all you manage. I've not got my fruitcage up, I've got masses of weeds and brambles on the grapevine plot, 2 sheds full of junk, fruit bushes in bags that should have been planted 2 months ago. We all have gardening demons. I promise! Keep doing what you do and if this year isn't a good year.. maybe next year will be better 😄 keep smiling and enjoy gardening. Danny 🌱

For the first time every culled my extra sprouting broccoli then the ones transplanted only 2 but they both died!!!, but it is late autumn here, in the southern hemisphere, was going to plant them in the tunnel house for the firsy time.

Oh I hate when that happens! That's pure bad luck! Thanks for watching Helen 😊🌱

Oh, an allotment barbecue! How lovely! I am gambling with some of my tomatoes this week... night temperatures are going to dip a bit. But I had to get them out of my house! My living room is a jungle. My task last week was to cull some of my plants... it needed to be done but it almost killed me. Congrats on 6K, Danny!

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

We have one every year. It's a nice get together. Oh I'm sure the tomatoes will be okay now. Oh tell me about it with the jungle! Thank you so much. Danny 🌱

My great niece has told me she would like some sweet peas, not the flowering variety but the eat straight from the pod. Please could you advise which variety I should use, thanks x

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Sugarsnap peas are a favourite of mine. You can harvest then as flat pods or they will bulk up to give the sweetest peas 🫛

[@vanessawilkinson9855]

Everything is looking amazing. I’ve just got my new tunnel up (10x15) so now learning how to use the space. I have a small wooden Victorian grow house at home & it’s full to the rafters so I’m guessing I can move a few things to the tunnel to germinate & grow on?🎉

Oh absolutely. In fact everything can now. Get that polytunnel filled haha!

[@nitelite78]

I'm not a huge fan of those really deep large 15 cell container wise cell trays. It's too hard to get the plants out once they are large and ready due to the weight of the compost in the cell you want to remove and the rest of the compost in the other cells. I find it quite cumbersome to remove plants. I am still using them for leeks and sweet peas although for sweet peas I find by the time the cells are filled with roots the peas tendrils are all tangled. I think the Garland deep root trainers are better because of the smaller size and ease of removing the plants. The 10, 20 and 40 cell container wise trays are fantastic though.

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Funny you say that. I'm always honest with my reviews and if my opinion changes, I'll say.. and I have to admit I did struggle to get some corn out yesterday of the deeper cell tray. Maybe if I hadn't have watered them beforehand. We shall see with the pumpkins soon 😊
