เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 18 ก.พ. 2018
I'm an allotment and home gardener in the North West of England. I enjoy growing seasonal fruit and vegetables. I particularly like the challenge of growing food of my Bangladeshi heritage. Check out my channel for ideas and inspiration on how to grow your own local and South Asian fruit and vegetables.
What are you planning to grow next year?
Don't tell me you haven't been thinking about what to grow next year. Is there something that you've been putting off for a while? Next year may just be the year for focus on grapes. A visit to the RHS gave me the inspiration to try this.

Growing chilli plants in the UK (2023) - February update
I thought about a pumpkin for Halloween 🎃
And then carve it into something really 👻
We just grow varieties such as Crown Prince for the eating.
tomatoes, cucumber, potatoes, chillies, all sorts of peas and beans, carrots, this year i grow some tomatillo that turn out really good so i am growing three different types next year. try tomatillo in your garden, Got most of the seeds on a black Friday sale
Now the tomatillo sounds really interesting - great job.
Hello!!!!!
Hello!!
very scrumptious looking food (i will steal it all in 6 seconds)
😄
Hello I have quite a lot of fuchsia plants do you know or any spray to keep the grass from growing so thick in the bottom , I know it does not seem to bother them it just does not look nice. I Northern Ireland there are miles of fuchsia hedgerows 8 to 10 ft high its so amazing.
Never had any problems of that nature. Is it not just easier to scrape it away with a trowel or pme similar garden tool. Best wishes
Hedges of fuchsia - now that's impressive.
Great job! 😍💪❤️
Thank you so much 😀
What hardiness zone are you? I planted malabar spinach and it did really well in our brutally hot summer. It is a little like Okra and can be kind of gross in the mouth with the slime
The hardiness zone is 8. I planted this in spring, and no, it cooks more like a leafy green such as mustard leaves.
I really love your videos
Thanks
Nice colour
I think so too!
Does anyone else think it tastes like cucumber raw?
Thank you for this video
You're welcome
Very informative
Thanks
Thank you for the informative video. How often do you re-pot your fuschias, please? They are beautiful
Ideally, every couple of years, just to refresh the compost.
Clear concise info thankyou so much for sharing.
Thank you for the kind words.
Fun fact this is lime, thats why it can burn, its really rich in nutrients though particularly if you burn hardwoods like oak.
Put that into the ground for a dirty garden. 😅 you have to separate the solids. Y straining and let the water evaporate to make pot-ash or potasium
Missing a step must strain in water and let the water evaporate
i have gall mite has any body got any ideas as i am at a blank ta
Good tips I use wood chip all the time but tend not to dig in if growing in the immediate area as increases nitrogen levels but on the top seems fine 👍
Seeing Ali’s Allotments pop up in my recommended videos after all these years is very refreshing! Good to know you’re keeping it going sir! All the best
Awesome, thank you!
This is what I have been searching for, for ages! Your instructions were well presented and the quality of filming was excellent. I’ve grown fuchsia’s for years, but never quite knew how to prune them. I garden in zone 9 in California. Again,thank you.
Glad it was helpful. Best wishes!
Hi Ali, My name is Alice from the blog team at Thompson & Morgan. We’re in the process of revamping our chillies and sweet peppers masterclass, and we’d love to highlight one of your fantastic TH-cam videos in our guide. I've just sent you a DM to chat more about this feature, so if you wouldn't mind checking your messages - that'll be great! All the best, Alice
@ardempsey3946, please email fruitandveguk@gmail.com thanks
😊
Beautiful! Nice idea with the rocks in place of using mulch.
Thank you very much!
Great video 👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it.
The sound of England.
Hands down my favourite beans pintos to our American cousins. Allegedly they don't have the traditional effect of other beans on the digestive system 🤣Love me some refried beans😋
Sounds great!
The beauty of early winter, thumbs up to you👍👍👍
Many thanks
I grew these this year purely for the coloured pods but next year I’ll be increasing the number of plants as I love a cassoulet
Good luck with that.
I love the idea of drying them, as opposed to freezing them, they keep forever, and you dont have to worry about losing them in you power was to go out for a few days. will have to try growing some myself now.
Totally agree!
My Mool's taste bitter.. I planted end of September, picked some which are 4-5inch...
Hope the rest are better.
Great stuff Ali, thank you. You reminded me that I have been lazy! I'm getting huge crops of Tumbling Tom tomatoes this year though.
Good stuff - you've done really well with your tomatoes 🍅. We have been trying to grow more veg for autumn and winter harvesting.
Masha Allah.
Thanks
Wow so beautiful planting 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
So nice of you
nope
Wow those peppers look great . I have always wondered if it’s possible to cross pollinate these with naga . Then could get massive naga
Try it, see if it works.
Cool
Thanks
Grew the asiabln goya type this year, but they all had stunted growing.
Good luck next time.
@@AlisAllotment found a slightly bigger one a few days ago, about 10cm long. There is a poly tunnel at another allotment site and the owners, sn asian family, are growing them full size.
They look delicious, thank you for making this video!!
My pleasure, thanks.
Sad to see ,this years weather has been real bad for all sadly
Hoping for an Indian summer!
All that effort. Bummer. Mind you, even in the wet weather I've had down in Derbyshire, I'm still having to water my Tumbling Toms every other blo*dy day. Mind you, they are in baskets and act like umbrellas. Hope you can salvage much of your crop though.
Yeah, got lots of green tomatoes. Put it in a box with some bananas. It sounds like you've done well with your tomatoes.
So far. Heck, they could all go pear-shaped if I don't get more sun. @@AlisAllotment
Is it?
Looking like it is (so far).
Very nice brother, Masha allah all your plants are doing well . And wow the apple tree.. make lovely chutney . Mine looks like having years of .
Jazakallah - all this recent rain has helped!
Masha Allah beautiful sharing.plants looks very healthy.
Thank you
I want to buy
Found online or in garden centres. Good luck.
We have some of these purple queen dwarf plants first time growing them and i am super impressed. Our plants are not even a foot high and they are covered in beans about 50 per plant. I cant believe how productive they are. I'm right in pressuming they are not come back again plants are they , they need to be succession planted and replanted each year?
Great news about your bountiful crop. We succession sow these annually.
Great!
Thanks!
I didn't grow any this year but you've a great crop there 👍🏻
So nice of you to say.
