New subscriber here! I also have an allotment in Scotland so I'm really interested to see how yours grows so I can learn and compare!😀

We have to keep our growing spaces real and show it has it is or viewers will think it's all greawhen it isn't. Growing leeks for the first time in 7 years and sowing them very soon, but won't be planting until spring. I only buy 4 bags of compost a year now and I get less rubbish in my home made compost. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

widger and dibber the tools are

Forgive me if I'm a bit slow but what's the relationship between the pigeons going for your crops and the nematodes? Thank you so much for your information on video.😊

Never be ashamed of the veg plot - the gardening community lives in the real world and your channel is better than an artifical "You tube" reflection. Stay real and create on your own terms. Reminds me, I must get out before winter sets in and remove that rogue buttercup seedling - it's distracting from the nettle and dock background🙃

👍👍👍

Great to see you again. Like you, I am also waiting for my garlic from Grown Local. After potting on your onion seedlings, I eould give them a light haircut and leave them in the greenhouse for a week before planting them out. Take care.❤

You've got quite a lot going on there. I feel it's always a mucky time of year with so much to do - You'll get there eventually 😊 I bunged in some sets this year as I was so behind, and my leeks were rubbish. 🤣

I’m waiting on my garlic from Ian too. Can’t wait to get them in. I popped in my own saved garlic already. Those trays from Grown Local do look good. I’m not growing over wintered onions this year. I never seem to get good results. My bad I’m sure. Have a great week. Mags

Take care Mark ❤

Nice to see you in the greenhouse 🧅. I'd rather have new vlogs than replies to the comments. Life happens, take all the time you need. I have 🔔the notice bell on.🌱🍂🍃🍁

Nice one Mark

not to be negative but the postage did me with grown local. i sourced free postage elsewhere to be honest .

I was only wondering about you lastt night while watching pottymouth gardeners .if its any concellation, i just got turned on by my work 'mates' and got a final warning at work. sickened.can,t sleep or anything.great to see you back .

Lovely to see you again, it’s nice to see you potter in your glass house,. Yes we all have our responsibilities. Onion this early never worked for me. Don’t apologise for living your life ❤❤🪴💐☘️☘️

Hello Mark where can u get the little bottle top water sprout that you have in this video thanks. I hope your OK. Enjoy autumn.

I’m sorry if things are difficult at the moment. Great video anyway. Take care.

Hello Mark. Another great video and I'll give Grown Local (hope that's correct) a try cheers.

Hmmm...I'd worry about temperature fluctuations if bringing the onion seedlings indoors...they might bolt later. You take care Mark. Look forward to catch-ups whenever you have the time and inclination 😊 🌱

Always good to see your posts! My garden looks very neglected, once again I've left it a few weeks too late before clearing for winter!

I love your little watering bottle. So cute-what an easy way to do it.

The two camera angles was great! You are a step ahead of a lot of other vloggers!

I said ages ago to JB that I hadn't seen many slugs this year , oh boy , they all showed up late once I erected my polytunnel. 😠😂. Way better than a beer trap :- 1 teaspoon of yeast mixed in 1ltr warm water with 2 teaspoons of sugar, its unreal how quick it works. slugs never touch my red salad bowl lettuce. I also read snap dragons deter lugs.👍

Hi Mark, nice to see you back & yes, our lives do take priority at times & rightly so too. Your video are brilliant & if you don't have time to post them, that's ok 😊 love your videos. Give your onions a trim, it will strengthen them. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

It has been a challenge this year Mark for growing in the allotment, I would say everything was about 4/6 behind normal growing conditions, Ive had a poor carrot and parsnip germination this year, great growth on cauliflower but heads were tiny, apart from that reasonably happy, take care, Steve

Another great video Mark I had a bit of a bad season lost all my onions to onion rot cherry tomatoes were a disaster romo did OK and my big toms had a big tom that weighted 475 grams so was pleased with that I got my greenhouses Al tidy up and pots cleaned and washed I'm trying to over winter cabbage cully and broccoli and building 2 raised beds 1 brand new the other is a replacement as its about had its day ready for next year

Super good work Mark you the best te moostiun te kas verspennen te potjes Compost thé oktober thans te video Top weekend friend ✔️👍☕🍁⛅🎃🌱🧢🎽

I'd be wary of molycoddling the onion seedlings too much. If they put on a lot of growth before winter, there's a risk that come Spring they will think they are in their second season, and bolt. I think you will be better off planting them out small. But you could always split into two batches and compare results, scientific like.

Super Good work mark you the best te moostuin te kas the verspenen te potjes planting compost thans te video Top weekend fried 🍂🧢☕️🌤🌱🪴👌

Sorry you have burdens keeping you busy away from your garden. I've had a gardening season disrupted by such things too.

Quality content as always, I’ve had glass and would you believe part of a circuit board. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I love my grow light but wlyh they are not cheap

Mine did this so bad! I saved my own seed..... 😅 Ah down in London that's where we are lol

It's been a strange growing year so try again next year. I've never had much luck I'm buckets but I'm a newbie. Prefer to use my raised beds and more fun digging for the treasure

😊

Hi Mark, the weather has been awful this season. Everyone has had different issues along the way 🙄 great video, thanks for sharing and take care 😊

I would imagine a trial with both in the ground and in the bucket would be interesting. Weather conditions might have played a factor... if you have one in both you'd probably have a better indication which is more worthwhile? Always a joy to watch your videos either way.

My potatoes have had mixed results. They did well in poor, exposed, unmanured clay soil but in the well manured area they were all infected with wireworm 🤷🏻‍♂️

In the quantity / size of the potatoes this year. Don't you think you have to add the weather factor too? Do you have as much/ little harvest on the allotment as at home?

Hi Mark. Don’t give up on main crop in pots, you can get awesome crops. I had a rubbish year in the main due to blight but for several years I have grown Picasso main crop in pots and they do wonderfully. They give large very tasty potatoes. My sspc potatoes managed to avoid blight and I got a whopper of a harvest. Don’t know that variety yet but they are wonderful baked. I would put your harvests down to the funny old weather this year. Take care. Mags

Hi from NZ. I put half really bad soil, a quarter horse manure, a quarter straw and 4 Worms in my pot of one tuber. I won a competition with 25 good sized potatoes with that mix. The soil was spectacular after 5 months because of the worms.

Hi Mark. So many potatoes from half a spud! It was about a 250% return. That's not bad in my books 👍🥔 Elaine 🌱

Wow Mark I thought it was just me this year that had a poor result from buckets pots I did the Same variety and had the same result as you have had ....he ho always next year eh mate

Your cat looked confused, he was wondering who you were talking to. Good video.

Hi Mark, noticed the pots are only 3/4 full of compost? Maybe consider making sure the pots have more medium in them....

Potatoes in the ground pretty much look after themselves. Potatoes in buckets need care, especially in making sure they get the right amount of water, light and food. I put mine in a warm sunny spot where I see them every day and I get a very reasonable crop. They usually get fed at the same time as the tomatoes, just because that's easy.

Still more than what you started with!! 😊

Hiya Mark ,any news on the site yet ?

Aww mark, still better than nothing ey. I would highly recommend 'Cara' maincrop, I do those every year in large fabric bags. About 4-5 per bag is enough and you get nice sized ones from those, but definitely the ones in the most sunniest position do the best.
