[@homegardens7682]

Greetings all. Loads to come on this channel next year. Numerous videos linked in the description box. Here is a video which may make you chuckle. How to grow Pumpkins | Growing | Harvest | Curing | Storing kzbin.info/www/bejne/kITVhXR7g6hppsU

Welcome back Dan, Since Brexit it’s become more difficult to source a named variety of Persimmon Tree. Most are sold by their scientific name of Diospyros kaki or D.Virginiana. Only one company sells D.kaki Rojo Brillante. Maybe you could propagate your tree by Air Layering and offer up one of the propagated trees as a prize for UK viewers.

[@homegardens7682]

I have considered taking a cutting from a Persimmon. Could be fun.

[@katipohl2431]

Glad to hear that your health is recovering. Waiting for your new content in the coming years.

[@homegardens7682]

Loads to come Kati.

So glad you have made a full recovery. I am gardening in the West Coast of Canada Zone 8b, similar climate to England (lots of rain, mild temperatures). I have been watching you for at least 5 years. I love your what's growing in the garden videos, it feels like having a look around in a friends garden. I also enjoyed your walk in the woods... so different from our forests. My gardening interests are gardening in a small urban yard. Especially using plants that are edible or medicinal but that also benefit pollinators and birds. I plant a garden to nourish my body, soul and to help the wildlings who share my yard. We also had a difficult gardening year, cold and wet until July 1. We were calling June, Junarary it was soooo cold.

[@homegardens7682]

Strange weather it seems this year.

[@southernman3406]

Merry Christmas from America and happy gardening in 2025!

[@homegardens7682]

Same to you.

[@seamusm8258]

Cheers Seamus.

[@debbeetapner7613]

Excellent video Dan 😊 Great to see you made a great recovery from your hernia surgery. Thank you for another year of highly informative growing videos. A Merry and peaceful Christmas to you and yours Dan x and a blessed 2025 ❤

[@homegardens7682]

Same to you. More videos to come in the new year.

[@markvincent5241]

Excellent stuff as always Dan. Been watching you for many years. Learned alot from you and it's definitely been a great source of motivation for me with using my garden to the fullest. I'm from Nottinghamshire. Keep up the great work Dan and have a merry Christmas.

[@homegardens7682]

Same to you Mark.

[@AnonNomad]

Cheers Dan, inspired me to also go for a walk about in my local woods.

[@homegardens7682]

Cool. Go for it.

Happy belated holidays. I have been watching your videos for many years and have been gardening 65 of my 70 years. I spend summers in North Dakota with a short growing season so always interested in any tricks in extending the seasons, polytunnel would be the obvious solution but the extreme high winds make that impossible. Having sweet peppers turn red has been my latest goal. I'm going to try cold frames for the spring but then the frost can come in early September and by then the plants are too tall to fit. I had a thought to dig the frames deeper in the ground to give space for height and maybe absorb some thermal heat.

[@homegardens7682]

I have heard of the extreme weather in North Dakota. Would be good if you could get some peppers there.

[@ChristianB43]

Merry Christmas Dan

[@homegardens7682]

Same to you.

[@mariej2328]

How you use some of your own food in your cooking recipes would be interesting. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@homegardens7682]

An idea there. Same to you

Happy Yuletide from Staffordshire. Only been following your channel for about a year tho it's been fun. Gardening and growing my veg in the garden came to an abrupt halt just before the August bank holiday. Shooting pain down my leg out of nowhere. Took the docs over 8 weeks and an MRI later to diagnose a bulged disc in the lower back. Haven't been out in the garden since bar of refilling the bird feeders and picking off some dead leaves. However got into canning, which is fun, addictive but most of all rewarding. Hopefully will be back up to full strength by next spring and ready to clean up the bomb site of the veg plot.

[@homegardens7682]

Hopefully that disc will sort itself out. Back pain is horrible.

[@user-xb7sj2uk4u]

@homegardens7682 Didn't have any pain in the back but it cause a sciatica from hell down one leg.

[@jop8833]

Merry Christmas Dan I started an allotment in 2021 so have found your channel along the way. Thanks for the video and all the best for 2025. You’ve inspired me to think about getting a peach tree for a makeshift poly tunnel I have so I may go shopping at some point!

[@homegardens7682]

Go for it.

[@andrewramsey7405]

Advice on melons would be great. Mine failed last year in my greenhouse (Essex) caught blight, I think, so I had to throw them away. Some advice, please, when do I sow, indoors or outdoors, feeding, watering etc etc. Great video.

[@homegardens7682]

I think I have a few videos on melons on the channel.

[@markgibbons2108]

[@homegardens7682]

I think I have one on the channel somewhere.

[@summerisonthursday5239]

I am South of England. We had an abundance 😮of tasty cucumbers and tomatoes from August to November grown outside and under polythene from September. Polytunnel was mouldy and not a success. Grapes were not as good as last year either. Have a raspberry bush producing raspberries even now. Happy Xmas 😀

[@homegardens7682]

Raspberries can be very persistent it seem. Great crops.
