How I'm preparing the garden for winter...Resourceful way to fill NEW RAISED BEDS | What I'm growing
November is a great month to clear the garden from old vegetation, plant some winter hardy veggies or just for a general pottering in the garden when weather permits 😊💚🌿
This is another slightly longer episode as I had a couple of days to spend in the garden filling up the second of the new metal raised beds/planters, planting over-winter broad beans and onions, plus an update on the aftermath of Storm Ashley.
Still no garlic in the ground yet, but soon...very soon 😀

Autumnal Irish Vegetable Garden in October | Organic Gardening
มุมมอง 2.7K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
A busy day in the garden, and nothing makes me happier than to garden in semi-sunny weather. I'm playing a bit of catch-up, but mainly prepping the garden before our 1st winter storm ''Ashley'' arrives. I have added new planters and filling them will be an ongoing job throughout the winter, mainly due to their size. Cleared out the pumpkin beds and harvested potatoes, beetroot and the largest c...

    Enjoyed with envy as always. Although you’re tidying up you also have lots alive in contrast to our zone 4ish gardens. Our garden is well put to bed here in Edmonton, AB. Fall weather is definitely a little longer in the past couple of years so I may need to add a few more plants/shrubs that we can enjoy for longer than we had been used to. Enjoy your beautiful Autumn colours-perhaps the changes with your pergola allows more light & views as well.

    You have a lot going on for the winter. Many of us just take a break. Re trellis roof. I had same experience in that I planted a grape vine. It grew very well was productive and then attracted all kinds of critters - raccoons and possibly opossums one of which was killed by something else - just steps from my bedroom! So I pulled that all out. I currently have a climbing rose on one side which is going to be pruned. I also use morning glory on other trellis pillar which is away from the house. It being an annual, it is v decorative and productive but dies out in winter.

    Start your rotation with spuds as they clean the ground for the next crop. Over winter onions are fine, usual the Japanese, but like all onions if they get too much water they bolt. I used 6mm polycarb, on my greenhouse and worked very well and saw a very big reduction in gas use and much earlier cropping as could maintain the night temp, better for less so go speedy growth. Always keep them in the bottom of the fridge for next year then you don't have to buy as they keep years in the fridge. I have a good second crop of carrots from 6 year old seed as I sow what is needed , then put back in the fridge saves a lot on money bulk buying.

      @spudsandroses 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi Robert, How is all in Portugal? I'll see how I get on with the onions, not sure what's best for us in the way we eat. In the end it might just be easier to buy them from the shop. I have used potatoes in the ground before, just found the buckets much easier, especially when it comes to dealing with diseases. They are a great ground clearers alright 😊

      @@spudsandroses Yes spuds are good ground clearer's which is why I always put them in first when cutting new ground. Onions. I tried a few seed this time as my shop only had 1 bag of sets left. I sowed in field and very slow so took a few plants home and put in some barrels I bought for my hydranger cuttings and they produced almost t as much from 6 as from 3 rows in the field, so try it but cover in heavy rain otherwise they bolt..

      Hi Sarah 😍Def try Oca if you're up to tasting new flavours and textures. I wanted to get more into growing them because they don't suffer from blight and can be a potato replacement. Now they're definitely not a spud replacement, and their size is small, but could work as a perennial vegetable (when mulched heavily in winter) or just an all rounder veggie that doesn't seem to have any pests or troubles. The texture is different as well, something more similar to parsnip when cooked, but it can be eaten raw in salads and then it is crunchy 😊💚🌿

    Hi, Thank you so much for the video! It is really surprising that you can make such an engaging & interesting video at this time of the year. I enjoyed it so much. It was nice & long too. It is really interesting to hear your approach in different areas. Your strategy & decisions of the pergola seem absolutely perfect for our climate & I would do the same. The sheeting should do a great job to protect the wood. I cant wait to see how it will look. Is the sheeting the same as is on your glasshouse or is the sheeting on the glasshouse curved? Do you remember where you got your netting from? (Was it from Gardening Naturally) (I have fount it quite difficult to find netting - the usual garden centre netting does not seem to be very strong). I also have a very windy garden. I think it is probably much more exposed than yours. It makes gardening challenging. To think of different long term strategies on how to create nice spaces & protection for plants is a challenge. I am trying to find ways around it and trying to find areas where plants are happy to grow. You are doing such a great job. Thank you so much for sharing it. 😊 I am sorry the girls are creating probelms for you. They are so cute though 🐔 All the best. 💚💚💚 🌸

      @spudsandroses 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Aww, thank you so, so much. You deserve a medal 🥇😍 Such a thoughtful and kind comment 😊💚🌿 The polycarb sheeting is flexible material. It comes rolled up and can be attached on a curved shape as the greenhouse roof and sides are, or on a flat surface. We have angled the new pergola roof and will be attaching the polycarb sheeting flat, just need to use good washers as the screws will otherwise go though the material easily. The netting for the hoops is from Gardening Naturally indeed, it is a butterfly netting, only to keep the birds, cats etc off the beds, I think it was 5m in length and is a good, strong netting. Love the hens shuffling in the garden...except when they start eating our crops or make too much of a mess with the woodchips 😀 Thank you again for your lovely, lovely comment 🥰 Have a great day! 😊💚🌿

    Oh my life, Maiju. That carrots! 😮❤😮 They’re simply enormous. Wow, wow, and even more wow. Never seen anything like them! 😂❤❤❤😮 What a bumper harvest. Those apples looked delicious too. Funny how the extra space on the field side looks so integral now. Just a few short month la is all it took to make that area blend in like it’s always been part of the kitchen garden. Hope you didn’t suffer too much from the storm. Enjoying this period of more settled and drier weather here.

      Haha, Clare 😂 I know, those carrots were humongous 😂I hadn't seen anything like them either....didn't even know they could grow THAT big! Loving the new addition on the field 😊💚🌿 You're so right, it does look integral to the kitchen garden and I'm delighted about it 😊💚🌿 New video coming today, so you can see what ''Ashley'' did 😉

    I was watching More Than Farmers on here the other day and they put their peas into old pillow cases and bashed them on the floor. Harvested the lot in seconds! Mind blown! 😮😅 Always lovely when the weather surprises you for a bonus day in the garden isn’t it ♥️💚🥰

    • @spudsandroses
      @spudsandroses 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi and thank you very much, we love their autumnal colour. It is a line of Rowan trees we have growing on the background, they have a conical shape and beautiful berries, but the birds eat the berries as fast as they appear, so they must be tasty 😊💚🌿

    Immense carrots there Maiju - maybe an opportunity for a batch of carrot & coriander soup for the freezer? Had one of those blue sky autumnal days here yesterday where it was a joy to clear the veg plot of courgette and French bean haulms, reveal the soil, feed the active compost bin and be surrounded by robins declaring their territory. Another lovingly-crafted video.

  • @madeleineforey9792

    Lovely video - just right for an autumn evening’s watching. Fantastic harvest - and those carrots are ridiculous! I’ve read that cross-pollinated squashes are only toxic if the cross is with ornamental squash, not with other edible squash. Do you know if that’s true? Also, what make are the metal raised beds? Hope the storm wan’t too bad!

    • @spudsandroses
      @spudsandroses 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Aww, thank you, very kind 😍💚🌿 In my understanding any of the cucurbit family fruit can end up toxic if grown under stress. It is the chemical cucurbitacin that is toxic and really commonly found in cucumbers. The main thing is not to be scared of it, just give a piece of the fruit a ''lick'' and if tasting bitter, not to eat it as it has high levels of cucurbitacins in it and those are harmful when digested. A lot of ornamental squash varieties are edible, but they can cross pollinate witing its species. i.e. Pepo varieties can pollinate with other Pepo varieties, Maxima can pollinate with other Maxima varieties and the plant grown from a seed of a cross pollinated has a higher chance to produce bitter fruit. But don't quote me on it 😂

    What a lovely long video. With what are you fertilising your carrot bed? It can't be just rain. You definitely win on size this season, hope they are tasty too! Congrats on new raised beds, and what a great idea to start in autumn and fill it with garden waste.

    • @spudsandroses
      @spudsandroses 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks a million 🥰 Early in the year I probably added some seaweed granules to the whole bed and a thin layer of compost, but after that, nothing else. I did sow sparsely, but also had very poor germination, hence no need to thin down and they probably had much more space to grow to get to the size they were 😀 Filling the base of the new planter with spent foliage is making the cleaning up so easy, I definitely don't mind this type of shortcut 😊💚🌿

    Those carrots are hilarious! What are you going to do with them all?😂 My entire carrot harvest is smaller than 1 of those!🤣 Glad you got out to do so many jobs. I had a similar day yesterday, it felt so good to be in the sunshine! 😊

    • @spudsandroses
      @spudsandroses 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It so wonderful to garden in a warming sunshine outside the summer season 😊 Most of them got cooked up the following day - 1/2 with the small squashes for soup and 1/2 with the rest of the veg as roasted veg 😀 They were really sweet and tasty. I was worried they'll have a watery taste because of the size, but absolutely not, they were really tasty 😊💚🌿

Pity I never weighed them, but at least it's all on the video, no photoshop 😂 Absolutely to take breaks, even a sweet tea break will help to get the blood sugar up 💚 Thanks a million, ladies for your kind words, have a great weekend!
