Have you ever considered adding food prep and cooking videos using the produce you’ve grown? You always make things sound so appetising, it’d be great to see the finished product.
Hi, lovely to hear from you! We do make cooking videos on our channel, do look at our playlists. There will be more through the year - thanks for watching and supporting our channel!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 excellent, I’ll go back through and look, I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now and really enjoy them, so informative and enjoyable, thanks
Very nice progress. You are ahead of me with your peas and potatoes for sure. Not so much with your garlic. I actually have a some rust on the soft neck I grew under my mini poly tunnel with my carrots. The hard neck outside looks fine so far. Soft neck just doesn't want to grow well for me here. Most of my crop is hard neck so now worries. I'm planning on picking some turnips and fermenting them this week. I was going to put some peppers and eggplant in also but it looks like we may have some more cool damp weather next weekend so I'll have to keep an eye on the weather and make a decision on that during the week. Probably better to wait. Enjoy your day off!
It's not so bad Frank! Good job you have the hard neck. Enjoy those turnips they are so sweet at this time of year. Some years the weather just doesn't play ball we had that during April - I would wait better safe than sorry. We shall enjoy the extra day thank you for watching us my friend!
Hi Barry and Mrs W. I love lists too. Ir gives me something to aim for and inspires me to 'get out there'. Also very satisfying crossing the jobs off as I achieve them 🙂My dahlias and salvias are having their first night out tonight. They have been going out in the day for the past 2 weeks, and brought in at dusk. Yesterday I planted out lettuce, beetroot, and radish. Waiting for germination of my 2nd sowing of carrots. First sowing only sweet candle germinated, the sugar snax and Norfolk sadly didn't. Sorted the asparagus bed at the allotment today. Lots and lots of bindweed. Not sure how to deal with that, apart from digging it out as I see it, Can't cardboard/compost it as the asparagus was already planted when I took on the allotment last September. If I dig it out it would be like waiting for new crowns to establish- so a few years for a harvest. What would you do? I have lots of strawberries growing on my Sweet Colossal, but they are a few weeks off being ready yet. I potted on my melons, peppers and peanuts today. Tomorrow I need to do the Aubergines. I also need to plant the last of my Anya potatoes. I was lucky that my hubster cleaned my greenhouse earlier in the year, ready for the growing season. It's a job I hate so I am very grateful. I can plant out my melons, courgettes, tomatoes an d aubergines in the greenhouse when I can get my geraniums, fuchsias and summer cut flowers out- hopefully in a couple of weeks. Thank you for a great video. Happy gardening 🙂
I appreciate your kind words and glad you enjoyed the video. Sorry to hear the carrots didn't germinate as expected. I would start a new asparagus bed off and the terminate the old one once the new is established and then deal with the bindweed. Hubster sounds a great man helping you out just as my Mrs W guides me - thanks for watching have a great gardening week!
As always a first class video thank you. This week I uncovered my outside onions, a few loses but I’ve got plenty, I made a scare crow for the plot and harvested more rhubarb lettuce and radish.i planted 9 different tomatoes in the poly and I noticed a flower on my cucumber I’m going sow a melon or two this week and keep up the weeding on the plot. No spuds yet in Sheffield for me, but 2 weeks and maybe I will look at the first earlies. It’s been warm and I’m concerned maybe we still run the risk of frost don’t want to lose everything so keeping it under cover a little bit longer
Thank you for your kind words! Enjoy that lovely rhubarb we are and enjoy those first earlies when they come. There could still be frost but diminishing by the day. Just have covers ready just in case!
Well one for sharing that strawberry. It was your only option I think. As I watch your recent videos I realise thst you are a few weeks ahead of me. Still I have more crops growing this year than ever before and the promise of greater harvests. Much of this success is down to following your channel. Thank you.
Oh Ken, it was hard to do that and the greenhouse needed watering so badly! You are so very kind with your comments and we appreciate them so very much. I hope you have great harvests and we can share our experiences - looking forward to Malvern!!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 We're at Malvern this Friday.Very excited about the show which is so much better than Chelsea and Hampton. Looking forward to seeing you at the Autumn show. Your alium leaf miner info is top drawer, I'll lift my protection this week from the onions and garlic. The harvest for these looks very promising
That's great to hear Ken! Let us know how Malvern went when you get back and if you can take some pics and email them to us that would be amazing. Looking forward to seeing you at the Autumn show too!
Hi Barry and Mrs w back off holiday on Friday watching your video your early spuds looking so good. My early are coming through your raddish so big your onions looking good my cabbages are in the beds and white turnips are though bye for now Barry and Mrs w
We hope you had a great holiday! Potatoes were amazing and glad yours are on there way. All this rain and now such warm weather is making everything grow - have a great gardening week!
The compost U added looked really good compost. Plot looking great, still haven't done much, still in agony. Been just looking after my plants best I can. Need to start planting
Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm grateful for your support. The weather was so good and we were able to get so much done, we had a great weekend and I hope you did too!
We always grow rocket as can’t beat the flavour last week of may of first week in June. We tried Casablanca as monty always grows them but they nothing on rocket and we have also grown swift they are quite nice too. We always grow Charlotte as they are co lovely later on with salads as the rest of the crops start to produce. Main crop we have Picasso such a good all rounder and they grow so big just right for baked spuds. That’s us anyway
Your garden sounds amazing! Keep growing those delicious veggies and enjoy your harvests! We are enjoying our Rocket, but equally Casablanca are great - can't beat Charlotte for a second early salad potato - at the end of the day it's all about our personal preference - great to hear from you Mandy hope you weekend has been as amazing as ours!
That's an interesting point! I'll look into it and see if there's any truth to it. But sulphur doesn't sound a great thing to put on plants and I think it was banned some years ago in the UK!
Nice workout there Barry. Glad I haven’t got a polytunnel now 😂 good job though, looks brand new. My garlic is also looking fantastic outside in their buckets. Last year I had a little rust but nothing yet 🤞 that crop of potatoes was amazing. I’m definitely doing them next year. Every thing looking good here in sunny, yes sunny Pembrokeshire. Hwyl Herms
I’m in se Northumberland so I’m having to alter my time to you cos you are in glorious sunshine I’m not 🤦♀️. I do get a tremendous amount of ‘‘tis from yous. So thanks 🤩
Thank you for making the effort to watch despite the zone difference! Your support means a lot. Northumberland is such a great place in the country and as you say just making the adjustment to the right time means you can do as us just a bit later - thanks for watching!
Hi Jackie, they will go for them when young for sure and if they can get to them at any stage they will eat them. The good thing about the tunnel is that they have no where to land once a certain size!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 I see, I didn’t know whether to take my cover off. I plan to grow them with pea sticks. Still a bit difficult for them I suppose.

Great vid I watched it all 🎉
Thank you so much for watching the entire video! You are a really subscriber and we really appreciate your comment!
Thanks
No, thank YOU!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching
I heard somewhere that sulphur may help rust. Don’t know if that true
That's an interesting point! I'll look into it and see if there's any truth to it. But sulphur doesn't sound a great thing to put on plants and I think it was banned some years ago in the UK!
Lovely video. Life and growing is so much better with the recent weather.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

thx for the videos, ive been fighting for my sprouting brocoli and koolrabi, sadly the pigeons won this one.
Thank you for watching! Sorry to hear about the pigeons, but don't give up on your garden! We won the battle against the pigeons!
Hi don’t the pigeons go for more established pea plants?
Hi Jackie, they will go for them when young for sure and if they can get to them at any stage they will eat them. The good thing about the tunnel is that they have no where to land once a certain size!
@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 I see, I didn’t know whether to take my cover off. I plan to grow them with pea sticks. Still a bit difficult for them I suppose.
Keep the leeks indoors away from them or they'll b nxt.
Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to keep those leeks safe!
