I enjoy your channel because you always include you doing some physical stuff outside or in the tunnels. I like to watch people doing stuff rather then sitting and talking.🎉🇨🇦
My Ishikura onions have survived this awful winter and are starting to grow again. I believe they are perennial and just keep growing... I'll let them keep growing and see what happens.
Hi Steve, interesting to hear that you break the lettuce dormancy with heat. I do it the other way, I sow the seed then put the container in the fridge overnight. I bring them out the next day and they germinate very quickly and well. I guess it doesn't matter which way the temperature changes, as long as it does! Live and learn.
Thanks Steve. Reassuring to know you struggle with some varieties of spring onions too. I used to do fine with White Lisbon and other varieties but the last 10 years I have sown them and a red variety and haven't harvested a single spring onion. I'll give your variety a go this year. Happy growing
Nice to see you again as others have said I love the fact you are actively sowing and working whilst you chat its v inspiring and informative!! Wish I had my old allotment 😞 but with lots of advice am busy sowing veg for my mixed flower/veg garden 😄
I’ve sown ishikura this year for the first time. Did you know it is a Japanese perennial onion? I am going to use them as perennials with my walking and Welsh onions
Hi Steve! I enjoy your videos a lot! Please tell us the name of the mild peppers that you are planting. I have acid reflux, but everyone is talking about sowing pepper seeds, so I’d like to grow some.
Hi Steve I'm on holiday in Lanzarote nice wee place with a garden I was talking to the gardener all the beds have a 3 inch mulch of volcanic rock dust he says it collects and slowly releases the evening dew and is totally sterile so no weeds i always use it on my beds at home am I wasting my time as it's sterile
Do you use seed compost or your home made? I’m just learning and my compost is not really working yet but I want to get my seeds off to the best start. Learning lots from your videos thank you for all your work.
Hey Steve another great video. This year I’ve grown those ishikura so will see what they are like. I have also grown 3 custard apple can’t wait for the plants to get bigger. Take care Mandy in Devon 👍
When are you voting to start your toms!? I’m thinking to grow mine at in a couple of weeks, I have started my aubergine. Chillis and peppers. But toms grow so fast and I just don’t want to have the room for them lol 😊
Great as always, Steve! Interesting how we all have different varieties that do and don't work for us. Up until last season, I'd always grown White Lisbon very successfully, just bung them in any old way and up they pop. I changed for a couple of different varieties last year and didn't manage to harvest a single one.
Strange your comment but it’s true. I reckon it’s to do with micro climate in our areas as I have no success in red onion sets of any variety so this year I’ve sown seeds Mandy
@@UpthePottingShed wow see that’s weird and I’m sure it’s micro climate in our gardens. We a have a small piece of land and a cabin and this year I’ve grown stuff by the wood burner it’s awsome Mandy
@@truthforall1303 I'm sure you're right about the micro climate. I have an interesting location, I'm on the banks of a tidal salt marsh. Why that would impact stuff I grow in pots, I'm not sure but I imagine even my local atmosphere, in terms of what floats in the air, the insects and such must relate to the wider environment they're part of. So the pot is a tiny climate but sits in the climate that is my garden within the larger climate of a salt marsh and so on.
@@UpthePottingShed wow that’s interesting and all that salt in the air must have an impact. I have a section of the veg plot that we call the Sahara and not much grows there well yet a few inches along and everything grows it’s so weird. Well good luck with your gardening and we might have another chat sometime Cheers Mandy
You said at 7:27 that the spring onions are the only things you multi sow and that you used to multi sow more things. But I don’t think you mentioned why you don’t do it any more. Do you get better results with single sowing?
Hi there just yawning n stretching, coming out of hibernation. Getting the itch for sowing seeds. Glad to see you here 😊
Wake me up when there's eleven hours of daylight to play with!

Thanks Steve as always great vlog 👍
Hi Steve, great video on what to sow in february. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Brilliant as always Steve.
That reminds me I must get my spring onions on the go!
My Ishikura onions have survived this awful winter and are starting to grow again. I believe they are perennial and just keep growing... I'll let them keep growing and see what happens.
Good show Steve👍
Thanks Steve I needed that! I haven't sown a single thing yet, you're getting me going. Honest as the day is long...and the days are getting longer!👍🏼

Good video Steve, I think you spooked the cat at 5:05.
Great video mate. Where you buy that seed spreader from ? Little green thing 👍

Hi Steve. Interesting video as always. I may have missed it but what were the different lettuce you were sowing? Thanks. Trevor.
Hi Steve, interesting as always, do you use any heat on your spring onions when sowing this early?
When are you voting to start your toms!? I’m thinking to grow mine at in a couple of weeks, I have started my aubergine. Chillis and peppers. But toms grow so fast and I just don’t want to have the room for them lol 😊

@@truthforall1303 It is baffling. Of all the strange things that will not grow for me at my current house, it's the super easy to grow radish.

Which seed compost do you recommend for sowing in cell trays?
You said at 7:27 that the spring onions are the only things you multi sow and that you used to multi sow more things. But I don’t think you mentioned why you don’t do it any more. Do you get better results with single sowing?
Hi Steve can I ask you what seed sowing compost you are using, the price of compost is going ridiculous.
RIP
