Any asmr people will have loved that video with the crinkling!! The raspberry ripple tulips look gorgeous and the white alliums. It’s such a nice thing as we get into winter to do spring bulbs and be looking forward to them right as all the Christmas choccy is running out and winter cosyness starts losing its novelty ! 😂👍
Thank you so much Eli for the happy birthday wishes, that was very kind of you and greatly appreciated. Thanks for making me feel younger. I thoroughly enjoy your utube channel and have learnt a great deal from it. So much so, I am getting a Rhino greenhouse in the spring to replace my current one. Thanks again to both you and Kate.
Thank you Eli for really cheering me up this morning! I've definitely been feeling that 'low light, SAD' feeling, which results in zero motivation. Your upbeat, positive video (despite the rotten weather!) has really encouraged me to get out and plant the tulip bulbs I received in the post days ago! I know I'll feel better after a bit of fresh air and leaf raking, and you've given me the encouragement I needed 😊👍
Maybe this will help too.... just looking at my plan for videos and it's only a few weeks till I start sowing peppers and aubergines and tomatoes 😀😀😀😀😀
The Kitchen Garden with Eli and Kate Yes! It's not long at all - and much of the joy of gardening is in the planning! (shuffles off in pyjamas to find Mr Fothergills catalogue 😂)
I always just think those videos are a bit dull because I dk all of that jn the videos each week, so I feel like I'm just repeating myself. Was a there a favourite garden tour videos??? One that you think, yes that one is the kind of garden tour video I'd like regularily
@@eliandkate You’ve got me very interested in the hot bin compost for a bit of control and savings on how I dress beds/fill pots. I’m also interested in how you create your own hanging baskets since I buy mine every year at $20 a pop for 7. I’ve checked every bag soil I usually buy and they all have peat in them (trying to end nuts in the house - found yellow sticky traps for house plants online).
Peas seem to need constant warmth, the ones in the raised bed have stored heat. A dibber is great for planting small bulbs and water proof gloves your hands don’t get cold.
Hiya Eli and Kate, I've also got some radar onions planted. I've put mine in pots and it's a first for me too. My garlic is coming on a treat and my spring onions that I started off indoors are all planted outside now. I'm about 200 miles south of yous in the north east and we've not had a frost yet but I'm sure it's on the way. Your bulb selection looks great, I'm excited for yous.
Yeah it's really chilly tonight so we might see a frost in the morning, will have to see. I suppose I can't really complain though, we know its coming.
Hello hope your both doing well, I can relate to weather we are having torrential downpours and super high gusts of wind up to 90 kilometres per hour. I’ve done loads of tulips and dads this year but my favourite are hyacinths love the smell. Can’t wait to see the colours of spring ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe ladies
I planted a bulb lasagna in three huge pots on my front steps. There are tulips, daffs, crocus, and iris in them. I'm growing onions from seed this year and will be planting my seeds indoors soon. Fingers crossed! I love your garden 💕 and it was nice to see Kate!
Hi I just found your channel, love it. I like your cheery mellow voice and vibe. Love your garden and plants along your fence, very inspiring! I just liked and subscribed to you. Introvert mom of 4 sons (2 autistic) loving the TH-cam community learning from others (using dog therapy music for pups/humans) God Bless!
Great video. Love to see whats going on in your garden. Also doing little experiment in my green house using propagators and storage box growing spinach and chard.
I would like to see a garden tour to see how you have laid out your space and how you manage to grow veg without too much shade. By the way, home grown onions are in another league for taste!
@@eliandkate I think you could put in beetroot and turnips, or brassicas for winter… spinach and salad leaves… you could start them off in your greenhouse so they can go straight in after harvesting the onions and garlic?
The weather is the same here. I'm so fed up with the rain. My neighbour gave me snowdrops bulbs but I've been too sick with a viral infection and costrochondritis to plant them 😪. Plus been battling fungus gnats cos of a house plant delivery that I got few weeks ago🤬.
Hydrogen peroxide work like a miracle on fungus gnats. 4% hydrogen peroxide solution diluted 1 part in 4 parts water and give all the plants a really good drench. Kills all the larva and you can use sticky traps for the adult flies.
Well done you getting that lot planted! I couldn't get in the garden this weekend either, so, I cleaned my carpets with my new Vax instead....hoping to get some bulbs in this week and I need to lift my Dahlias as its been so wet, I don't want them to rot.
@@eliandkate omg i have a shark hoover which is awesome and having a dog its really helped....as you know I'm up in the Highlands and there seems to be only 2 rug doctors to hire up here so its never available so I bit the bullet and bought one. I was absolutely horrified Eli. I mean, it was BLACK!!! They've come up like new and fair delighted.Did every carpet in the house....
@@eliandkate i have gone for the 100 watt triple layer! Just debating if i should go back on and get a light kit 😅. Thanks again for the code and also your time and effort producing awsome videos.... 😁
So almost the dame as I got. What are you planning to use it for? I got the lights cause I'm thinking they'll be good for things like peppers that need a lot of support.
@@eliandkate i will be mainly using mine to over winter some tender tropicals and also ill be able to start of tropical bulbs and seeds alot earlier than usual and hopefully give my plants a good head start going into spring.
Hi, would love one of your updates. My garden is small and space a real premium so I plant most of my bulbs in bulb baskets then I don't have to wait for the leaves to die down fully. I lift them after flowering and plant them in large pots to finish. It's a bit of a pain because I have to dry them off cure them and store them but it gives me summer planting space. Like you my pea shoots have not come up but my winter gems and winter leaves have. My rocket has sprouted but is not growing at all, I think it's the lack of light rather than warmth.
you know lifting bulbs is not something I've every done, I think somehow they are the one thing I am ok with being messy :D The reduction in light over the colder months is something a lot of people over look, everyone things it's all about heat. but once seeds germinate, light is crucial which is why we see such a slow down
Okay, I’m persuaded! Today, I’m going to Lowe’s and buy some bulbs. I don’t know what kind yet, but I’ll look at the photos on the packages and decide then and there. Yesterday was quite summery here, although we have had some nice rain in the past few weeks. My garden is now completely bare, and will remain so, except for some carrots and peas, which I’ll plant soon. I’m not doing much this November/December because my daughter just got her first house. She wants to personalize the place from top to bottom.😳 So, I’ll be putting in new floors and painting for days and days.
Hi nice update today, just wondered if you thought of using a usb fan in your greenhouse to help with the strength of your seedlings? Looking forward to next weeks already 😊
Hey Anita, I know a lot of folk do use fans. To be honest I don't, it's just another expense that I don't really think is worth it for what I'm doing. If I was growing for commercial purposes or I was relying on what I grow for food I would probably go down the more serious route, but for me, I grow for fun so I don't want it to become a big deal like that :D If you get what I mean.
I now can’t wait for March, I have ordered my summer bulbs. I’ve taken the plunge and bought a ginger meant to be better than cannas. I’ve also got some lilies and gladiolus to fill gaps in my border. Try a pineapple lily
@@eliandkate you have to try new things in the garden each year. This year I grew starfish irises(ones just about to flower) can’t wait, habenaria radiata egret orchid, got a few leaves but no flowers.
The packaging for the bulbs are great, the pictures on the pack would be a godsend when your planting them and pairing them up. I’m shocked with variation in quality with bulb size, I preorder mine from farmer Gracy (always a discount) all of them were nice big bulbs, ordered some more for my new border from crocus the tulips were not great, bought some from the garden centre and wasn’t impressed. I’m prepared for winter, I’ve got the insulation up, the tender plants are under cover. Crocus in the lawn looks beautiful, but you need hundreds, I planted 750 in my lawn, took me a whole afternoon. Any tips to keep the humidity down in winter?
I know what you mean. After last year, being so crazy impressed, I don't think I'd shop anywhere else for bulbs now. Kate line to keep the lawns nest so bulbs wouldn't work there for us... but I love them in the borders, pots and rockery
hi Eli and Kate i'm doing the same onion set's this yea i found that the snowball is germinating real slow & the radar set's are growing a lot faster . all the best ivan
@@eliandkate I’ll have to check I started some in pots in the poly tunnel and some direct in a bed as well so started at different times hoping to separate harvesting time I don’t know if that well work but I’m giving it a go to find out.
Just checked it was around a mouth ago in started them in the poly tunnel them one’s are doing well but the direct planted ones was around 2 weeks ago now
I planted two tubs of bulbs, tulips, daffodils and some crocuses at the top, BUT the wind was horrendous and they were both blown over by a piece of a fence, I picked them up and just shoved the earth back in and re-potted ones off the ground, don't know what will happen now? some may come some may not!
Sorry we cannot buy from the UK anymore; there high shipping costs + VAT + VAT on the shipping costs. Customs duty is imposed on all imports now. Brexit has hit British exports. And exports from the UK to Ireland are down 50%
You don't have to apologise to me Richard, I"m not selling anything, it's just a code a company have offered if anyone wants it 😀 We're really feeling Brexit on this side too. The price of everything has gone through the roof and customs duty is hitting loads of things. Struggling to get seeds from EU suppliers too. Boo hiss Although did you notice Quickcrop have 10% off everything (and in Ireland)

Those oranges 😍😍😍 Such a lovely contrast to the purples and whites!
I hope so 🤞🤞🤞
I planted a ton of crocus this year but i totally forgot about onion until watching this. I'll have to start some going.
Oops..... do you do onion often? I'm going to be looking for lots of help this year 😀😀😀😀
Great video. Can hardly wait to see the tulips 🌷 when in bloom.
Imagine how impatient We are.... soooocant wait for spring
A garden update would be great 👍
😀😃😀
Enjoyed your video as always. Love both yours and Kate's humour. 😉
Ha ha ha.... Kate has the most amazingly quick brain... she is a one liner queen... I just wish I had the camera running and caught it more often.
Love your videos, thank you.

@@eliandkate I think so, and there is always room for a second crop afterwards….
Really? I'd say a second crop wouldn't come true for another season?? I'm thinking it'll be late summer for this one?
@@eliandkate I think you could put in beetroot and turnips, or brassicas for winter… spinach and salad leaves… you could start them off in your greenhouse so they can go straight in after harvesting the onions and garlic?

Lovely video. Onions and bulbs, You can’t beat them, do you grow fritillaries? Imperial fritillaries are my fav,
We couldn't get any unfortunately, we left it a bit late. Next year maybe

They're generally hardy beasties you'll prob be fine 🙂
I might have killed my peppers than, they just not put growth on and they are in the house and today has been the really first cold day. ah well.
Wrll it was an experiment so treat it as a learning opportunity... maybe next year 😀
