I can imagine you taking over that weedy unloved plot next to yours-don't know if it would be allowed but the transformation would be fun to watch!

[@karenwright2444]

Love the 'Come On Betsy' comment for your brassica ... my dad used to say that when the car wouldn't start on a cold 70's morning!

[@Crumbleofborg]

Yes, I quite enjoy hand weeding. I don't enjoy trying to stand up afterwards though.

[@neverwise]

Popping extras into an unused plot counts as guerilla gardening in my view! Well done!

[@Chris-rl9kt]

Your channel and content is so addictive, really informative and engaging thank you. You don't need the BBC , they want flowers and pointless lawns, not to mention the politics but your content is truthful and genuinely beneficial for our health so power to you my good man!

[@bhalliwell2191]

Weeds! Dod, man you're so happy you don't have my neighbors gardening before or behind or alongside of you! I've never known such folk for not getting after weeds until the seed heads have blown, especially the dandelions: it looks like a sea of sunny yellow over the back fence, but only for a while and then it's a grey-ish white and *then* the yellow's all in my kitchen garden and the turf lawn, too. I'm forever pulling or levering out dandelions, shot grass (will I ever be rid of shot grass!) and a few other pesky plants including something I'm hoping you don't have to deal with: pokeweed. Daren't mow it, it just keeps growing its root system even when the stems and leaves and panicles of flowers are less than 20cm tall; the only cure for this stuff is to dig it out by the roots, so you have my sympathy whatever weeds you're dealing with! About the carrots: that trick or hack, of using a plank over a newly sown row of carrot seeds is great because it keeps the moisture content of the soil steady enough that the seeds don't die on you which, I understand, they will if they go even slightly dry and if they're moist, then dry, then moist again, they won't germinate. Once the carrots have broken the surface, you can remove the plank. Also seems to me that I've seen a plank protecting some kind of seed in your allotment plot via your videos, so you must know this already. Still and all, I hadn't had any idea that carrot seeds were or are that sensitive....

Get a letter or 5 wrote to the council Tony😂 extra growing space is always a good thing 🌱

[@wildchook745]

LOL, blame poor, JB :) Can you get a frost net like Charles Dowding to chuck over your tomato bed? See if you can chuck some flower seeds along the path to your plot. It would look pretty in summer.

[@joanpulley9722]

Maybe put some fleece on your carrots ? Just to warm them up ? It works for me .

[@downthethirdlaneallotment]

[@brians1001]

Ha, I knew it was just a matter of time 'til you started sneaking some plants into the vacant lot. Especially those extra standbys everyone starts to cover any loses. What a shame to just throw them in the compost. I wouldn't be able to resist either.

I remember a while ago when I first started watching you mentioned something about that bit of land next to you but can’t remember what it was 😂 Would you be able to take it over? It would be so ideal 🤩

[@deborahthomas2753]

Just watched your video Tony and saw you plantef cabbage and tomatoes in the same bed! They apparently don't make good companions..the brassicas stops the tomatoes growing .Not sure how true it is though ???

you could always fleece the crimson crush tony

I am trying to avoid all mention of the C word and then you say it! 😂

[@margaretalice6343]

Weeding. On dry sunny days just hoe off annual weeds (still dig out horsetail and dandelions of course). Annuals will just shrivel

[@elainewilliams3025]

Hi Tony. I don't think you will have those plants you planted outside your plot for very long. Pigeons and of course slugs will swiftly find them. Why not put some fleece over your carrots? I think you will drown your tomatoes out with the other plants. Id put them in another bed. Keep pushing for that extra plot and grow some tall beans or peas, after all the trouble you went to build a bean / pea climber. All the best.

[@TonyCSmith]

A little treat for them and hope my nets protect my own
