Good tip about removing the flowers from the potatoes,I got that tip from Tony O’Neil @ simplify gardening a few years back,it really does help to get bigger tubers,and of coarse keep them well watered too,I think I will be planting garlic in my greenhouse next year as rust is a problem outside in the ground,great video as always,looking forward to Thursday 👍

Another brilliant video, thank you for all the advice. What variety of leeks are you planting after harvesting your potatoes & when did you sow them? All the best, Clare

Barry, I had always thought that blossom end rot is due to a lack of calcium, not iron ? Great video. I try to remember to sow my salad leaves once every month, to keep things ticking over. I have just sown radish. spring onions, american land cress and lettuce. The beauty of rowing our owbn veg is that we can harvest them in a state we love to eat them. I always pick my broad beans small as I prfer them small and sweet and not the larger white beans as they are when left to grow big. Same as turnips and beetroot. Love the small baby ones. Picked my first crop of mage tout today- not many reached the kitchen- oops! I have spring cabbage coming out of my ears and only just finished picking my last harvest of purple sprouting. My garlic is getting rust so won't be long till I harvest that. I freeze mine rather than storing dried, that way the cloves stay plump and tasty. I have raspberry suckers growing in my flower border, which is a fair way from the raspberries! Really annoying. A great year for blackberries, the canes are smothered in blossom.I love them. This week I have planted out my celery and celeriac. My runner beans are half way up their canes and I have peppers and melons growing in the greenhouse- 5 baby cucumbers and 3 melons. Picking strawberries daily. Another sowing of carrots made and still only a few germinated. Don't know if it's the seed or me. I am so disappointed. I will buy some new seed, although what I've sown was new seed this season. Last try! Thank you for a great vdeo. Enjoy your bbq. Happy gardening to you both 🙂

Can I ask, I've grown Charlotte potatoes, the leaves are starting to go yellow, does that mean there nearly ready I can't remember when I planted them the label disappeared. Garden looking great everything growing nicely. Just need more sun now

Your garden looks great! Hope you enjoyed your vacation. I'm picking strawberries but have a nasty infestation of pill bugs this year and they love to eat strawberries. I just treated with some pest bait so hopefully that will help. I have to net my blueberries now as they are beginning to turn.

Tidy job there Mr and Mrs W. Hope you had a cracking BBQ 👍

You’re going to confuse me with what day of the week it is! lol Great video with lots of tips. I’m looking to sow a second batch of leeks, am I too late or is there a variety that I can sow in June?

Another great video Barry and Mrs W ,keep it up

I harvested the first of my early spuds today Pentland Javelin they look good, were in a jute bags. I put carrot seed in the same compost. Loads of weeding to do and something has eaten my peas. We had a few mange tout and Broad beans but they are a little while away from their tastiest. I harvested lettuces, spring onion radish and chard this week Have you ever sown / planted sweet potatoes? I’m thinking of putting some slips in a raised bed!

The only tip I have to add is to keep sowing leaf salad veg through the summer even if you have to pick them small.Thanks for another excellent video.

Home from my holiday and I’ve bought the same boxes but only 50g worms available so I got them. I drilled for ventilation and used a damp j cloth instead of the hessian sacking and some corrugated cardboard instead of the egg box. ( all onion and citrus is going in my beast) I fed them with carrot tops and other kitchen waste. it’s in my garage which is under the town house I live in and when I opened it yesterday a few wrigglers had moved from the compost onto the cardboard so they seem to be happy enough Thanks Mrs W for the project

No videos this week, hope you're all well.

Khu vườn của bạn nhỏ xinh ,cây trồng phát triển rất tốt dưới bàn tay chăm sóc tốt của bạn ,cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video hay 👍 .

Hi Mr /Mrs W.......Very informative video.Im still learning gardening and am growing Brussel Sprouts for the first time.Their growing really well with the leafs getting larger and spreading out into plants surrounding them. Is it OK to cut some of the leafs off and are they OK to eat ?

Loved watching this I think I have missed a couple something I never have before. But my daughter she is only 39 has had a stroke and is paralysed down one side so I am at her house looking after my grandaughter and the pets. My daughter lives in Peterborough and I live in kettering so I can’t just nip to plot for an hour or so and so it’s not going to be that great this year. My hubby is carrying on as best he can but he works comes over here and others stuff so it’s hard. I grew lots of flowers for plot so I have brought the seedlings here to plant up here. We have a few things in the ground but I can’t weed or care for them very well I just hope they don’t get munched most of our peas did😫anyway I will keep watching you and that will encourage me as I going to be here for some months. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Great Vid ... enjoyed

What’s the white frame for? Love your dress Mrs W bet you made it you are so talented. X

I've got six of my tomatoes out already and my sun gold in particular is huge already and has three flower sets going 😅. South Wales has been particularly lucky, in my little spot anyway!

Nice Video

Wow you have a lot of stuff in that bed. It should fill out nicely and give you an abundant harvest and beautiful flowers. My hügelkultur beds have always done well for me. My garden is fully planted now and the over-wintered pepper is a jalapeno now that I have peppers on it and can tell what it is. It is way ahead of my other peppers so I'm very happy I did that and will probably do it again this year.

Just about to do the same plant outs as you this weekend. Great video as always.

Not sure about blight susceptible tomatoes on direct flight path to tunnel. Look forward to new bed, plenty going on.

You two are a match made in heaven! Happy gardening

Thanks for the mention Pete

Last year when I watched another you tuber they had a poor crop when they planted sunflowers into there veg bed, be interesting to see if U have same issue or not. The slugs keeps eating my carrots 😮

Fab video , I checked on my Courgette plant today , that’s under my little greenhouse & I have got quite a number of flowers on there , well chuffed so far & my Brussels & Peas are coming along lovely too 😁

Cucumber, tomatoes, peppers and chillies out in the greenhouse and spare tomatoes in pots outside the greenhouse, fingers crossed for a good year. Jo Devon 🙂

Thank you for anothr fab video. I've not planted out any tender veg yet as I don't have the space until after the weekend. Happy gardening :-)

I thought the slugs liked my plants until I started to grow cucumber and squash. Let's just say I'm doing a second batch and this time I have resorted to the slug pellets or nothing will be left. Not sure about you, but the slugs have been rampant this year....

Great video as always. Thank you for taking the time. Taken the first of three caulies growing in the greenhouse over winter - so pleased never grown such lovely ones! I have three melons growing .. 2 Emir and 2 Melba ... all with flowers hoping they will be pollinated else might have to do my self. excited as this is my challenge for this year, sadly no room for a water melon though your plots and produce all look so great !!!

Great video, i missed the sweetcorn growing, didnt have seeds. Will try them next year. Thanks for all yhe advice and havinh fun

2nd year growing melons 1st year growing watermelon have sugar baby here as well hope you have great success

can i grow melons in pots thanks

hi guys following the melon info in nz thank you for the video

CORN - You CAN grow 2 verities of corn together as long as they have 2 different maturity dates. Example. You can grow 60 day corn with 90 day corn planted at the same time. Another way of doing it is plant 30 days apart from each other the following: Example. 90 Day Silver Queen planted June 1 with Golden 90 day planted August 1.-Ray Delbury Sussex County NJ USA-- By the way. Your concern for cross pollination is ONLY a concern if you want to save kernels for seed.

Nice video and a handy way to make a wormery

Can you plant tomatoes, melons, cucumber 's, squash outside, or have they got to be in a greenhouse house please. It my first year of growing, and It feels so overwhelming. Allso can I plant peppers outside or in a greenhouse ❤

What lenght would u recommend to cut MDPE piping for wooden pallet collars. Total noob still a caveman lol 😰

You are giving out great info here, week after week. Thankyou. And I agree, 'What a Jungle!' Our Broad Beans and Peas are about a week behind yours. I didn’t expect to be growing the melons vertically so I’m moving things around the greenhouse to copy you. My 2 Emir plants are looking good so far. I’m not growing corn this year, it was very disappointing last year. Our fennel, Little Gem Lettuce and Greyhound cabbage will be planted out tomorrow morning.

Brilliant, just made one. I used worms from my own heap so lets see . XX

Fabulous video this week. Thank you. Dinner from the garden this evening. Garlic for the garlic butter prawns, new potatoes asparagus and purple sprouting, and like you, a few strawberries for dessert- nothing like the excitement of eating meals from your garden. My Emie melons have lots of flowers and are looking good. " sweet pepper plants have set some fruit. No flowers on the cucumbers or aubergines and sadly still not many carrots :-(. Broad beans are setting and first flower on my sugar pod snap peas. The garden is bursting with lettuce, lol- I think I wanted to try too many varieties and my initial promise of growing jut 3 varieties of tomato somewhat expanded to 8, ha ha.I am also growing Sugar Baby. I love the leaves on the watermelon, sugar baby, - so pretty. I grew my calendula and runner beans from home saved seed, also my sweet peas. We haven't had any rain in 2 weeks now, already a lot of watering. 39 in my greenhouse today. yes indeed the nights are staying warm now- it is really bringing on the plants. I am sure yje tomatoes have doubled in size this week.Last year I grew my courgettes with my sweetcorn- it worked beautifully! Happy gardening to both of you 🙂

Hi Barry and Mrs w nice to see you planting your melons I was going to ask you when was the the best time to put them in got my sweetcorn in other day when is the best time to put buttercup squash out put some more parsnips in and beetroot don't no if I told you I counted Tom's in polytunnel got 55 plants I no say no more well Barry and Mrs w. Bye for now stay safe green fingers.

Good luck with your corn and melons! I'm not growing melons or corn but I am expanding my garden this summer and so maybe I'll try a few melons next year. Haven't had much luck in the past but I'm always up for a challenge. I'm trying artichokes for the first time this year and actually have them outside my fence so hoping the critters don't bother. Have you ever tried them? I'm not sure if they will survive my winter.

I’m growing early bird sweetcorn in Sheffield I have 9 plants that have come though so it’s a block of 3x3 as soon as I get back home, I’m putting in another 12 seeds and hope they germinate quickly. The danger for me is squirrels which like to eat the cobs so I am using old socks and bottle tops to guard them!

I have finally made mine today, after all this time, so I’m finally up and running . Looking forward to watching you both later

Hi Barry Red Cherry tomatoes are they Determinate or Indeterminate.

Have a look on YT for talks with Troy Hinke, he's the vermicompost tea guy from Rodale, he composts everything before using it to feed the worms, 2/3 browns to 1/3 greens (for fungal dominant vermicompost to use in his commercial compost tea business) he feeds it to the worms in his basement after the thermophillic stage has cooled down, it takes all the guesswork out of managing the worm bins and you can compost anything without upsetting the worms, citrus peel/onions etc. I never had any luck with a commercial 'can-o-worms' system, it was either too hot or too cold wherever I put it, I think the system is just too small tbh, I use a darlek compost bin now which works much better, although there's no juice to collect. I don't use the vermicomost in my seed mix tho, I've tried it but it's just too rich, what did work was using cocoa coir as the seed medium with only 1/4" vermicompost on top. I tried different compost mixes this yr as I had some Johnson-Su compost finished, my best mix was 1/4 JS compost, 1/4 regular home made thermophillic, 1/2 cocoa coir, although all my mixes worked in that they grew fine seedlings, the mixes without coir (even some with sand mixed in) crusted over very easily to the point the crust kind shrunk while the bottom of the modules were still pretty wet. I woulda used leaf mold instead of coir if I had any, that's been marvelous in the past, but wet autumn/winter made leaf collection impossible last 2 yrs. Good luck with the wrigglers!

You really don’t want any liquid in the bottom as that means the worms are too wet. That’s letchade (can’t spell) and it’s anaerobic which is bad. I’ve been doing it over a year and a half and love it. But suggest watching and learning from a few guys on TH-cam, happy to share if you like ? But don’t wanna step on your toes. But as new bees it can go wrong with over feeding. So do not over feed less is getter then more.

You can give onions and citrus once you have a good ecosystem…

I’ve left my plot and poly in the capable hands of a friend while I take a break with my Mrs W. Watched your video in Turkey and I’m planning to get a wormery started when I get back. Thanks for the guide Mrs W - I see Amazon has sold out of worms! I’ve got compost from my ‘beast’ to use. Brian Sorry for your loss v Leeds it is painful sometimes being a footie fan. As soon as I get back I shall be sowing pumpkins and squashes. Best wishes to you both Pete
