How Temperature Impacts Warm-Weather Plants || What Is the Effect of Temperature on Vegetables 🌧️🌱

[@peterdisney4158]

I've definitely noticed that seedlings are very slow to germinate this year. Even after germination, they just seemed to sit in seed trays and not do anything. I'm definitely going to invest in heat mats this winter.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Nice idea with the heat mats! Your seedlings will thank you for the extra warmth. Keep us updated on how they do!

[@beachcomber78]

I always learn some gem from you videos, this time it was the relationship between cool weather and insect pollination timings which I hadn't thought of before.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you so much for your kind comment Brenda we appreciate it!

Guessing I’m a good bit further north than you but grief it’s been a bad year, there’s not enough light and everything is slow and another thing I haven’t seen any butterflies even cabbage whites.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

You could be but not knowing where you are in the world I couldn't say! We too have been short on sunlight, like you also we have seen no cabbage whited so it's not all bad 😊but seriously I know what you mean there has been a distinct lack of all pollinator's!

[@DB-pm2vy]

I’m in North Yorkshire and it’s been cold and wet until this week. I’ve rust on the garlic just like you. My Charlotte don’t have blight but a few brown rashes on leaves. I’m going to get them up before the next rain comes. Pink fit apple look ok too. Hardly any insects or pollinators or cabbage whites yet although I reckon it’s usually end of month. Peas don’t like the new sun and I’m now watering everything in pots , chillies, flowers tomatoes etc. But it’s worth the effort at last to see warm weather stuff grow. I think lack of insects because they’ve been poisoned out is a serious thing all gardeners need to be aware of and not spay everything that moves on our plants Regards and take care 😊

I must be the only person in the world who can't grow radish, tried 3 times last year and 3 times this year and still no luck, next year I'm going to try doing them in pots

[@gromlynne3550]

No, you're one of two.. I can't either. Leave them to flower as the flowers are tasty in salads and the seed pods are good too, plus the bees and helpful insects love the flowers. I take that as a win😆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Radish are one of the quickest and easiest crop to grow. It is a brassica and so is subject to all the problems that the rest of the family suffer from. Do you start them off in cells and transplant or sow direct? Is the problem that they are eaten after transplanting? Where do you grow them in a shady area or full sun?

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

The flowers like all brassicas are very lovely and are attractive to pollinators!

[@petewestlake8564]

Thanks for the advice. This week iIve planted out some brassicas into the spaces my lettuces had bolted in . They are in a covered hoop and I checked for slugs and snails! I ate some radish and lettuce and more spring onions. I found some fruits on my poly tomatoes which was exciting and I’ve got some dwarf French beans that popped through the soil I’m hoping they will be yummy. The B-road beans and kelveden wonder peas are still small but I’ve been harvesting about 10 pods of each a day. I made rhubarb squash for the first uptime which my wife enjoyed. I cut my daughter’s grass and fed my beast it reached 75 degrees. I also took a day off but following your advice on my allotment is my secret to the successes I get. Thank you.

That was a timely video Barry & Mrs W,just pruned my brassicas and cropped a perfect head of calabrese for tea tonight,broad beans and peas for tomorrow ,and of coarse new potatoes straight out the bucket,..it’s been a challenging year so far but I’m not complaining,yes things are slower outside for me but in the greenhouse everything is going good,melons are forming fruit and swelling steadily,tomatoes are setting fruit and cucumbers are starting to get a move on,so quite pleased considering.however my garlic has been consumed by rust,hardly any green visible except for the scapes 🤷🏻‍♂️ nevermind eh,it’s all a Learning curve and will no doubt lend to our experiences👍

On summer raspberry, I've had my best crop ever for the last 10 days (a desert bowl full every day) last yr I noticed what looked like a Mg deficiency at the end of flowering (yellowing between veins, with green veins) so I watered in some epsom salts, this yrs difference in fruits set is night and day to last yr, rather than one or two fruits per cluster there's 8-10 per cluster, after a bit of research there's a lot of science papers showing the effects of Mg on fruit set (all fruits) reporting large increases in yeilds, mite be worth considering if you see the signs towards the end of their season.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Thank you for sharing your experience and tips on improving fruit set. Your insight is valuable for all us raspberry growers!

Blight wiped out all my potatoes this year in Norwich

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I'm sorry to hear that! Blight is such a devastating decease!

[@KenHJones]

I think late harvests and restricted growth have been my main problems, apart from the slugs of course. Useful info. Thank you

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Ken, hope your break was good! From what I have seen from the many comments over the last few weeks you are not alone which is why we thought we would address the topic - I'm glad you found the info useful!

[@jaynekennedy8469]

I’m in Bristol and my water but is half empty. We’ve not had a lot of rain for the last few weeks.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Funny how on a small island we get such different weather! We have lots of water and you have very little. I think our summer has finally arrived!

[@franksinatra1070]

We have the opposite problem here where it's hot and dry. Each has its own set of challenges. Too bad you can't send some rain and cool weather over to us. All in all I can't really complain about anything in my garden except my asparagus which seems to look worse and worse every year. And being around 5 years old it should be thriving right now. I have a pest problem which I believe is asparagus beetle larve eating the ferns but I suspect I have a disease or fungus problem in my bed also. I may just pool the roots out and disgard at the end of the season and try again in the future in a different area of the garden. I hate to waste all that space if the asparagus is not going to perform well.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

Hi Frank, If we get some hot weather I'll make a video about that! We don't really have much to complain about but different parts of the Uk have had some cold and very wet conditions. Asparagus beetle is prominent here too and I would agree trying again in another part of the garden would be beneficial!

[@franksinatra1070]

@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 well at least your cool weather plants are benefiting from your cool rainy weather and you don't need to spend a lot of time watering things.

Thank you for another nice video. I get a lot of great tips from the two you. This year I am trying hardneck garlic for the first time. They are, more or less, all splitting and are not as big as I had hoped for. My softnecks seems to do a bit better. I thought I had to harvest hardnecks later than soft. Do you think its because of the weather cold/wet or am I doing something wrong? Thank you again.

[@nodignorfolkgardener4575]

I'm glad you enjoy the videos and find them helpful! Splitting garlic can be a common issue, and it might be due to a combination of factors like weather and harvesting time. Splitting garlic is usually because the harvest has been too late!

[@pernille7906]

Thank you. I think I am about 2 weeks behind you(I live in Denmark) but we had a very warm start of May and then it went very cold with lots of rain, so they probably got confused😅 It seems to only be the red skinned types. So they came out and perhaps they will be turned to garlicpowder or pickled. Have a good sunday. 😊

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always nice to hear from viewers around the world. It is interesting how weather can affect plant growth, isn't it!

Cut the shaws of the potatoes affected with blight if you want to save them.

Appreciate the advice on how to salvage blight-affected potatoes! We have cut the haulms down and got a cracking harvest!

Cloud seeding-look it up

Hello, I would not really want to get involved with tampering with the weather by putting chemicals into the clouds. Working with nature is more our point. But we appreciate your comment and understand this is a practice that is going on in some parts of the world!
