Leaton - Our road to self sufficiency
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2022
Growing fruit and vegetables has long been a passion and hobby of mine. I have been growing food in back gardens for 17 years in various conditions. I grow most every day vegetables grown in the UK and some that are not native such as chillis, peppers and ginger. Most years I manage to get a good harvest of potatoes, parsnips, carrots, brassicas, tomatoes, salad crops, garlic and many more crops too. Since moving to our current location we have a large garden, some of which we are turning into a 250m square vegetable plot. The aim is to become as self-sufficient as possible. This channel is about that self-sufficiency journey, so please watch the videos and follow along as we work towards the self-sufficiency goal. The channel includes many tips and advice for new vegetable growers and details of projects such as raised beds, making compost, water collection, sowing seeds, planting out and much more. If you want to grow food this channel may be what you’re looking for. Thanks Jase

Brassicas are a family of plants that include cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and many more. They are hardy plants and can be planted out at this time of the year if temperatures and conditions permit. They suffer from slug damage and cabbage white butterfly to name but two pests that attack them so netting and precautions are advised. In this video I plant out calabrese, cabbage, cauliflower, k...

for some reason i didnt get a notification about your videos
When the weather is like that it's so peaceful and calming I paddled in Scotland for about 12 years lochs but did a lot of white water not been in a kayak since moving to Jersey 24 years ago, that's what I yearn for
Hi David. It wasnt all calm. We got stormed into camp the one day 20 + mph winds and very heavy water to get out 3 foot waves etc. Unfortunatley the go pro frooze so no footage of last day. Full version on my channel Wild Jase.
The Creator is so giving. Plant one get several back, how can that be bad? Thanks
Lovely garden!
Deep south usa and drought two years in a row! Sweet potatoes were so tiny without daily irrigation. Enjoy seeing how you grow so much.
Thank you.
Great to see you back Jason, life gets in the way sometimes mate but the garden will be there ready to go when you have time to get going again pal.
Thanks Mate.
good to see you back Jase, pots are easier all round for spuds and carrots, I got a bunch of insect net bags that fit over the tubs for carrots, I only harvest as we need them, stack them up in the GH end of season, harvest any left end of Feb and resow, I sowed carrots in them after spuds came out, got way too many now still got 12 tubs full of carrots
I normally do ok in the ground with spuds but not this year. Carrots are in a raised bed so its basically a tub anyway.
Jase, glad to see you back making video's. I was hoping after I saw you back on Audrey's live chat Wednesday.
Hi Robin. Thank you.
Bloddy hell mate good to see you back
Hi Alan. Thank you
What a lovely surprise on a Saturday evening.. thank you... we have missed you and your garden
Thank you Laura
So glad to see you back Jase 👍👍, Ali
Hi Ali
Hi Ali. I thought id let the weather do its thing and rescue what was left. lol
@@leatonvegabsolutely pouring rain here 66mm in the last few hours
We need the goverments to stop making rain clouds!!!!
@@leatonveg Very true the gov are playing games with the weather very true fact.
Got mine off of temu dirt cheap. Came in a 5pack. They work amazing and been using for 3years now
I’m wanting to grow some main crop potatoes and will be using shop brought compost how many times do you have to fertilise please
Hi. I only add fertiliser at the beginning
Thank you- this was so helpful and to the point.
Thank you for a very interesting presentation, much the same results as my findings this year. My feelings are that shop bought compost lacks a lot of nutrients that home made or the way shop compost was a few years ago. The other thing I have noticed is the lack of moisture retention and how much the same brand compost varies in colour and composition. I suppose it depends on what they compost during the year. I.E. Christmas trees early in the year followed by garden waste, lawn clippings with lawn treatment and fir tree branches, in fact any old rubbish that we gardeners would not put on the compost heap. That's my rant so now off to buy some more shop bought compost. 😊 Great garden a lot of hard work, well done.😊
Thank you so much for the experiment. My lean-too is north facing and I have not been successful in propagating. I will give this a try.
Just cleared my overgrown garden . I have 21 foot by 13 foot. Looking for inspiration to see what I can do with the space. Am hoping for a greenhouse. Not sure if able to. But I am a new follower to your channel and am hoping for some ideas.
Hope the building work next door isn't getting to you to stop you videoing? Difficult situation you have there, but did like your videos.
Jase hope you’re all doing well, it’s been a while since you gave us an update. Have a great weekend, Ali ☔️🇨🇦
Good experiment with meaningful resultss
I have a small garden, so wonder what you can recommend to grow during the winter months 😊
No videos for a while
It is my first time on your channel and I have just subscribed. Very nice potato harvest. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work. All the best on this journey.
Thanks for uploading this video. How often do you water the tubs after the potatoes are planted and with how much water do you use? I haven’t had much success in the last two years with the first earlies and it might be the volume of water I used - or rather, didn’t.
Great to see and gives me some consolation as my potatoes in containers were small. My daughter named them spuddles!! Tasted lovely though
Great video. Always enjoy a comparison of fertilizers/soil. The best fertilizer (in my opinion) is worm castings. Plants love the castings and grow/produce like crazy. No wonder it’s called black gold. Maybe give it a try. Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
I’m confused. I keep reading to take the lid off so the seedlings get air as soon as they emerge from the soil. But you can’t remove the lid and also give it light with the Yaungel. I purchased one and unsure what to do when seedlings emerge.
Awesome 🥔period 😊thank you!
Nice, with 2 Seed Potatoes each🥔
😮
Hi it would be interesting to hear if you do a taste test re the various buckets, i'm trying similar method for the first time in 40 years gardening.
New subscriber from Montgomery county, Texas 🙏 Great content , we get very hot here , just went through a week with no power ,due to hurricane Beryl from the gulf of Mexico. I started planted our potatoes in grow bags about 4 yrs ago ,due to my bad back issues Its so much easier to harvest like you did , just dumping them out in a wheelbarrow. Im using 15 gallon grow bags ,and they are ready to be harvested ,but putting in the sunroom to let the dirt dry out for about aweek , or should I pull them now ? As I dont want rotten potatoes?. I also plant our sweet potatoes/ yams in grow bags also , as its harder to plant in ground and constantly covering with more dirt or hay/ straw . Yes here in hot texas , my tomatoes have taken a hit , but getting ready to pull my determinate tomatoes, as they are done , our indeterminate tomatoes, Got blown over during the storm , but I got out there with my 2 granddaughters ( they love learning & helping in our garden ) . I look forward to watching more of your content . Mrs josette Montgomery county, Texas 🙏
I may consider growing in pots next year if we have another wet winter and early spring like we did this year. I have an allotment and I was late getting the potatoes into the ground because of the weather, so haven't harvested them yet but must do in the next week or so. Just looking at the plants they don't look as good as last year and I am not expecting a particularly good harvest. In respect of 6x, I've used it in the past and it is good stuff. Also makes a great compost tea for giving plants a quick boost; the tea of which I offered to one of my fellow plot holders who's plants were looking a bit sickly.
Hi Sharon. It’s a strange year for veg. Most things are under performing. Good luck. 🤞
Are you using Vitax 6x or something else ?
Hiya ....this week some of my lettuces bolted which got me thinking about your potato compost experiment ...while you had slightly more spuds when you left the flowers on would it be quantity over quality after all potato flowering is the plant going to seed ...it would be interesting if there is a difference in taste as is often the case where other veggie plants have blown ...?
We keep all the tiny ones too. My wife will make brown gravy(beef flavored) and cook them in it. It makes a great side dish which she calls "New Potatoes". Oh and yes, it's been a difficult growing season this year and I averaged roughly what you had in mostly 10" pots. I have around 15 pounds of potatoes(so far, as I still have 12 more pots to go). At least we don't have the smoke from Canada covering the skies this year, which last year caused all my Red Sun shallots to bolt. I couldn't get a new set this year, but did get Dutch shallots and Yellow Potato onions. Happy gardening!
Thanks for watching. We have hardly had a summer so far. Rain again today
im sorry sir i might sound a bit rude here but if thats how you store your potatoes then what was the point of taking them out to begin with?
To weigh them as it was an experiment
@@leatonveg isee good work
Good honest review my friend hope i can call you that
Thank you 🙏
Chin it…..the storage very interesting…….what stops the stored potatoes from growing ?
They have a rest period so won’t grow until spring
Can you re-usE the same soil[ more or less] for next generation of potatoes, this year? Just done that😊 Plants are growing again Wales
Yes but maybe add some extra fertiliser
That great very exciting to see your experience thanks very much ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing! What was the NPK of the fertiliser?
Hi. Can’t remember off the top of my head but if you google 6X fertiliser it should throw it up
What was your base material that you added the fertilisers to?
Just compost
Had so many failures with germination this year also things bolting. But for the first time Kelvedon wonder peas have made up for it so far.
It’s certainly been a struggle this year so far
👍
Brilliant 👊
Thank you 🙏
Good show, cheers Jase. 6x is just chicken poo mate, find somone with chickens and offer to clean their coop out for nowt ;)
Hope to get our own chooks eventually. At £15 bag it’s cheap enough
