I'm glad you enjoyed the video Gardener Scott. It's one of those things, we all have to recognise the gaps in our knowledge but the beauty of building these online gardening communities is that there are lots of others out there who have knowledge where we have gaps, so we can share and create things together. It was a lot of fun to do and I met some great TH-cam friends through organising it ☺️
😀 Glad you enjoyed it. There are loads of fantastic channels out there but we don't always come across them naturally. So always good to highlight some 😀
Much appreciated! It was so much fun to get to do something with all you guys. I'm so jealous of your allotment and I learned all about corn. I had no idea about the pollination and the tassels :D
Briliant video loved it it’s uplifting to know there are some things you can still grow at the end of the summer especially this year as I v.had a very bad year my cabbage has just grown lots of leaves no heads the Colliflower has yet to produce a head the potatoes where the worst I grown in years the peas are still climbing and they v got flowers on so fingers crossed for them everything’s gone in so late this year it’s been one to forget but I am still going try growing thru the winter months just to get something out of this year carry on with the briliant videos its keeping me on track thank you so much
I am in updated zone 8a and our growing season is about 240 days long for summer in the USA, south. It's a tradeoff because we also have a humid climate. There's always tradeoffs every climate
Bouncing up and down with excitement..... I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME!!!! I'm going to try keeping some wee things going in there... thinking the best idea will be the things we wil be using, so going to try some individual lettuces and things like that. Not sure if I'm going to heat the whole thing or just a sections -still working out the kinks 😀😀😀😀
hmmmm I don't know... I really didn't like having it up, but I may use it and create a wee protected area.... I kept it just in case :D Will see what comes out of the proper planning and thinking.
I love your enthusiasm, and I too have a garden I grow on. Recently stumbled onto Steves site. So glad to see you guys working together to help us all. 👍
Welcome aboard! Are you like me and super envious of folk with allotments, until you realise it's more convenient to escape the rain when you are meters away ? 😀
@@eliandkate I honestly thought I had subscribed a few months ago, but anyway glad to be here 😊. superbly envious but like you say, close to the kettle and loo ha ha. Best friend has now got an allotment so I may sneak a few plants her way and let her do the work he he. Loving the videos x

Best video ever! Thanks to you and the others. 😍Greetings from Norway where the winters are long and the growing season is short. I will try some of your advise on autum/winter growing. Who knows, maybe something will survive. 🤔
Very late to the party here but I just wanted to say thanks for including my question about the strawberries. They actually did end up flowering after all! Now I'm just waiting for the fruit to grow and ripen - making sure to keep them watered in this heatwave we're having. Cheers for the tip!
Oh that's awesome. Yeah we are having the same issues with keeping ours watered. Fine one minute, all wilted the next 😀 Lovely to put a face to the question
@@eliandkate subscribed to all the others now - other than neighbours giving me compliments , well more like 'whats that crazy englishman planting in his garden now?' which is fine i dont know any other gardeners locally as yet, so its nice to view videos from all you equally passionate people as myself and im learning loads. My gardens about 14 x 8 metres, so not so much room, but its crammed with planting, couple of ponds, garden house, small greenhouse and so far 4 raised beds - and a few small trees - one apple tree, and a massive 30 or so metre london plane in the bottom corner. Got this idea to use guttering to plant salad leaves and herbs, which I may place on the roof of the garden house, we shall see ;-))
@@eliandkate ok about the same then. Whats great about your channel is that your the only one without an allotment so its inspiring to see whats possible in a garden. Where there's a will there's a way id say.
New to channel and growing veg. Moved house and getting a greenhouse. Eli your channel is so useful and informative. Loved the video on potting mix and PNK one. This video is great so thanks to your fellow gardeners I have subscribed to each one. Keep up the good work all of you!
Awesome! Thank you! So glad it's useful and keep going with the veg growing. This year has been a rubbish year for growing, it won't always be like this :D
Great video Eli,good to see some of my go to TH-cam gardeners,great tips also.Your garden is looking fab,you must be getting more sun in East Lothian than me in Midlothian 😂 ah well out with the seed boxes again,cheers 👍
Hey James You know what, this year has actually been way sunnier and hotter than I remember a summer being. It was 27c the other day.... Where the hell did that come from??? Not sure if this is you doing a big catch up on my garden antics, but I just released a new video yesterday harvesting some of the goodies from the garden 🙂🙂🙂 Not as abundant as other years at this point but I think the cold wet spring affected things
@@eliandkate it’s been a strange year weather wise Eli,and you are correct I am just starting to catch up on all the videos from all the channels I’m subscribed to,it also inspires me to start re sowing late crops,once again loved the get together with Malcolm etc hope the style spreads,best wishes will be dropping in very soon to see what you have harvested so far.
Does preventing your strawberries from flowering during the first actually result in more harvest during years 2 and 3. I have also read that the growing from runners results in lower yields? Have you tried the hessian planters. I’ve used them this year and I’m impressed.
I've heard this advice about pinching flowers too but to be honest, I've never done it. I know the RHS recommends that for later producing varieties that you should pinch the spring flowers. But I've only ever grown summer fruits. As for runners, I grow from plants created from runners every year. While the runner is still attached to the mother plant, it will require the mother plants energy, so may mean the mother plant isn't capable of producing high yields at that point, but as soon as the little plantlet on the runner is able to be planted, you should cut the runners and free up the mother plant. I grow like this every year and have always had bumper crops. Not sure if it helps but I've got some videos of me doing things like that. My top tips (including runners) th-cam.com/video/AQi3FuR9VQo/w-d-xo.html propagating from runners th-cam.com/video/g0jNluOp1Ic/w-d-xo.html Mulching your strawberries th-cam.com/video/UZfqTS8UsmE/w-d-xo.html
@@eliandkate probably another myth. It said you can take runners from the mother plant but the quality and vigour of the fruit will not be as good as the mother plant so I always get rid and just use the runner to replace any I’ve lost or fill gaps in my planter. It always give me chance to try new varieties and check for vine weevil grubs.
I have to disagree about the summer In Scotland. In Moray we get roasting summer sunshine when it comes and we also get cloud free summers. Plus we get indian summers in September time.
David Tenet=equals the best Dr. Okay, with that settled😳, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. So many talking heads, are sometimes better than one. The bald, thin guy would be a great voice as an audio-book reader. Mysteries, I suppose. They were all very informative, though. Good stuff, Eli.
@@eliandkate, Eli, I had to look up Tom Baker. I didn’t start watching Dr. Who regularly until Tenent came along. For some reason, British tv series didn’t catch on here in the U.S. until fairly recently. However, I do remember a U.K. series called The Prisoner with Patrick McGoohan. It was a little before your time, and was a mind bender, to be sure. Loved it … back then.
Oh I remember the Prisoner, I've seen reruns 😀 Yeah there was some sort of joint thing when David Tennant became the Dr and things started getting shown more in the US. I'm a massive Dr Who fan - have been since I was a kid - although when I watch the old stuff now I cringe 😬 Hard to believe it was originally meant as an educational show to get kids interested in history 😂😂😂
Great video with great tips. Fantastic that you did this with a wonderful group of gardeners.

Great video everyone, really enjoyed it all. Malcom's cheesy leeks and Steve's "get out there and try it" were particular highlights!
Absolutely - the whole just stick it in the ground and see what happens is the best advice ever
Thanks so much Eli, what great company you all are.....Malc......Good times
Any time!
That was brilliant! Thanks Eli for organising and editing. Loved the content, and great to see favourites come together. Thanks all for your time 👍👍

Great video. Lovely to see Malc, Steve and Emma , will look up the other lady as I’ve not seen her before
Ha ha ha I wouldn't bother. I've heard she's rubbish 🤣🤣🤣
Great seeing all the different youtubers coming together to share their knowledge! 👍
For sure!
Just thought this made a Fantastic Refreshing change. Thanks to all of you. Please take care 🤞🙏👍
Awww thanks Kevin glad you enjoyed it
The most enjoyable and informative video I've seen for a long time. Thanks to everyone involved.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀😀😀
Malcolm's Cheesy Leaks are just the best!
Are you recommending from experience Garry?
Kate does a lovely squash baked and stuffed with cheesy leeks... Devine
Brilliant collab - I really enjoyed it. TY
So glad! 😀😬
Great video and lovely to see other people in the discussion.
Keep up the great work, very enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really great idea to get different people in. Haven’t heard of some so checking their channels. Thanks 😊
Oh I recommend you go check them out when you are finished watching. Some great channels :D
OMG! Not only are all my favorite people together in one video…you’re wearing a Doctor Who t-shirt! Best video ever!!!!!!
ha ha ha so the shirt got the thumbs up 😂😂😂😂
