Hi, can I ask when do you plant them. Do you start them inside or straight outside. Thank you so much.

I waited two months for a plot but that is because I wanted one that was being given up as it had infrastructure on it and well manured soil by the current owner. I have a 9 perch plot now which I took over almost two weeks ago..I am up every day ATM. I pay £42.50 for the year

Thanks for the very useful and interesting video! This might be a silly question but why do you have the sticks with bottle on in your beds? I've seen a lof of people in my allotments doing the same thing and always wondered why 😊

We have just got an allotment we have 8 rod ours is run by the council we only waited for 2 weeks it cost £80 this includes a shed they only allow local people to have one we have a few in our town. We have a manager who we contact if we have issues. I put myself on the waiting list and a lady from the council contacted me and told me the managers number. We have water in site and we can hire certain machinery

How far is your new abode to your allotment?

Thankyou for the video, I totally agree about leaving crops in the ground until we need them, feed the soil as well as us😊

Thank you, your video really helped make it clear. As you say there are so many conflicting opinions on social media and that’s not at all helpful.

Did they survive ok? Is there anything specific needed for the ‘Basket of Chillies’ variety? And can you save yellow unripe chillies? X

How can I contact with you?

Enjoy your video's harvest something every week of every year. Even if it's only silverbeet/spinach/chard or carrots.

Hun somethings happened to the aspect ration of your video. Still lovely video.

Like you we still have lots of food growing, not so much ready to eat now though😢, we have nearly run out of carrots😮. It looks like you have plenty to do down there!!!😊

why the oil if you're not baking/frying them?

Thanks for the tip about keeping the brassicas covered up. I've been wondering about uncovering mine - but I know there are lots of pigeons around (it's a woodland area) so now I'll definitely keep them covered ;-). Always enjoy your vlogs - thank you.

kale, chard anything like that get demolished by slugs what would you suggest I am not a fan of adding chemicals in pellets to food I am eating.

Try Cape gooseberry jam. X

Thank you for being so informative over growing veges I enjoy your videos. All those squash! What do you do with them after Halloween?

Ma,am are you looking for a professional TH-cam thumbnail designer?

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you its a lovely video 😊

Will you be keeping Ur allotment when you move ,or are you leaving the area ?

It may be getting dryer in the east but here in Devon it’s totally the opposite. I know as I grew up and lived in east England But have lived in Devon for 20 years now and the rain fall has increased immensely 😇👍

Thank you 😇👍

You have a lovely attitude to presenting the information about growing food!!!

1 question I've got some rose seeds WHEN can I sow them no one on the web can tell me

Blueberries minimal prune until you think you don't want them to be too tall. Just ensure you can pick all the blueberries easily!

Nice tour of the plot, same as you I love to grow and eat what I grow and share with others when I have spare😊

Top tour

lovely to see " not an expert " for a change, you have quite a variety of fruit and veg going at the same time, we are english but with an allotment in holland, also a fairly similar selection of eatables except no apple/pear trees, well anyway enjoy your garden, cheers .

Very well put together. I learned alot in a short time. Thx

2:00 funny to see that old fool doing the backbreaking work of digging over the soil... i'd love to show him the ridiculously abundant harvest i had this year NO DIG with only a fraction of the time and energy spent

Wow, your squashes & pumpkins!

Great carrots!

Thanks for the video! I’ve moved into a new home with summer raspberries. I cut back all the obviously dead canes and left the rest and pruned them a bit over the summer to stop them going out of control. It’s now October and there are half a dozen or so canes which are all quite brown but they are sprouting new green offshoots. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

Thank you its a lovely video

Love the rustic shed and your knowledge

Try wikihow - how to prune blueberries. Might find it useful. Thanks for the tour round the allotment. Very productive. Runner beans, I keep feeding with nitrogen rich fertiliser (chicken droppings), keeping them from going woody.

my blueberrys i just take any dead of them thats it

Great veg!

Just watched your dehydration video, as I also own one of these Andrew James dehydrators. As I'm writing this, it's fully loaded with several kgs. of apples from my back garden that I'm' trying to preserve, so as not to go to waste. I usually preserve apples via chopping them, heating with a little sugar to kill any bacteria, then putting into sterilised & sealed glass storage jars. But I've had a bumper harvest this year in Colchester & I've run out of jars, so trying dehydration & going to try freezing another load tomorrow. Trying to live 'the Good Life', the self-sufficient life & the prepping life, all in moderation.

I still have some in the ground potatoes

That is a LOT of beans seeds for next year! Good luck 👍🏻

It's amazing what you can grow in winter

Wow it's amazing you still have so much crop. When is your last crop

👍👍👍

I'm growing from seed this year onions I mean

just got an allotment and wondering if theres anything i can plant at this time of year. thanks

This year was a terrible year, it rained from September until May en then June was cold and July wet. Only august en September was ok. You can understand that de squashes, the corn, the tomatoes and so on was not as it used to be. The only thing was doing great were the sugarsnaps, the chard, all kinds of brassicas and the berries. I hope next year will be better!

Thank you for the follow up on information on the squash.😊
