Lovely video, Annie. Exciting to be refilling the beds. I have just done my onions and garlic and nearly time for the broad beans too 🎊 Have a wonderful week 😊🪴💚
Thank you, Sarah, What varieties are you growing this season?🧄🧅🫘 Hopefully, we will be allowed a few uninterrupted dry days ahead. Have a great week, Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
@@annieskitchengarden818 yes! We have been quite lucky with the weather here so far, despite one big downpour earlier in the week. The garlic I am growing this year are Garcua soft neck, Caulk White hard neck and I am also trying some elephant garlic for the first time! Lots to look forward to despite the cooler weather that’s coming 😊🪴💚
Hair cut looks fab Annie and that coat is beautiful. Great to be still able to harvest for your tea. The beans are gorgeous and it’s about taste not looks 😂. I haven’t done any garlic yet 🤦♀️. Hope the netting keeps the miners off 🤞🤞. Have a marvellous week, Ali ☔️☔️☔️☔️🇨🇦
Awww, thank you, Ali, Yes I agree with you.. taste is everything, but it was still a little disappointing as I had never grown the gigantes before, and I suppose technically, I still haven't!!! 😂 Happy gardening Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
I am totally with you on the netting, I hate it too. Allium leaf miner is rife here as well, so needs must. I had a great crop of onions and garlic and thought I would have enough to last until the next harvest, but we are ploughing through them and I will be lucky if they last until new year! So, like you I'm growing more this year, though I haven't planted mine yet. Have a good week. 😊
Netting of all kinds is the bane of my life! 😂It gets caught up on everything as you are trying to work with it. It never fits... either way too big or annoyingly too short, and then where do you store it??? 🤦♀️ Hopefully🤞 we will both be able to spread our onion harvest a little further next year? Have a great week. Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Fab update Annie ❤ Love your kitchen garden it looks so nice. I need to get our garlic in soon. Like you we've run out of allotment grown onions so need to plant heaps more. Gardening is a learning curve isn't it. Lots of love 😘❤ x
Awww, thank you, Linda! It's amazing just how many onions we use! I never seem to grow enough, but then space is an issue, too. But yes, you are right....it's a continual learning and adapting adventure!😉😊 Have a great week! Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Great explanation between garlic and onions Annie! Love that jacket too! Is it comfy/flexible? Glad to hear the summer house is ok. Watched and loved the live with Danny. Did you do something with your hair? Looks great! Just been treating our indoor plants with nematodes for fungus gnats and looking to do the same next year in the garden with the slugs, snails and other beasties. We put down, manure, home compost, home worm castings and general compost on cardboard on the beds. I am so lazy/ also don't want to bend down into beds, so are covering our tomato/ main bed frames in garden mesh. Everything we plant in this main bed is self fertile. I need to look into seeing if i can get hold of plastic hemmed zips, to see if i can create some entry points. Still all work in progress and an experiment. During the winter, we only will need minimal access, so bides us some time. Hope you are doing well? Take care! x
Thank you! 🙏 That is an old running jacket relegated to the garden as my knees no longer allow me to run! I'm so pleased you enjoyed Danny's 'Live', they are always good fun!!! I had fugus gnats indoors last autumn. They are such a pain. Never had them before, but I brought all my pelargoniums indoors to overwinter and must have introduced them to my houseplants... what pain they were, too!!!! Have a fabulous week Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Hi Lee, I won't be... some have already been eaten, but most are in the freezer. I would have considered growing them if I had an allotment or a bigger garden. But I prefer to stick to my staples as I'm restricted with my growing space. Would have been an interesting experiment, though! Hope you are all keeping well and have a wonderful Christmas, my friend 🧡 🐞🐝🌱🎄🎉2025
Morning Pauline, I have considered doing this, but they are in the freezer now. I'm not sure they will be viable anymore. The stiff netting is the ultra fine enviromesh ordered from amazon. (Argalan Enviromesh Ultrafine | Garden Insect Netting Mesh | 1.83m x 4.5m amzn.eu/d/8ZCUdX4) I have now picked up a different brand of netting from work, which I am hoping will be more pliable. Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Great video Annie, thank you. Happy growing 🙂
Thank you! You too! 🐞🐝🌱🎄🎉2025
Brill video and well done on getting your onions and Garlic in
Your kitchen garden is lovely ❤
Thank you so much, Julie!
I'm pleased they are in. I just need to get some more netting.
Have a great week,
Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
It's so amazing that to have them in! I feel so much better then they are in
I'm pleased they are in. Broad beans next!!

I agree netting is a pain to look at, but we get our crops instead of the pests.
It's definitely a necessity these days!

Hi Annie,
Will you be saving some of the cross pollinated gigante beans for next year?
Hi Lee,
I won't be... some have already been eaten, but most are in the freezer. I would have considered growing them if I had an allotment or a bigger garden. But I prefer to stick to my staples as I'm restricted with my growing space. Would have been an interesting experiment, though!
