Yet again clear, concise along with utter professionalism and articulation. Why a television company hasn't commissioned you I've no idea. 🤬
Very kind of you to say, thank you.
Agree!
It's probably the specs... 👍
@@ginojaco How old are you ? Because that’s the kind of remark I’d expect from a child or someone of impaired thought.
Totally agree ! Please, can't we get him on the telly to cheer everyone up!!!! Btw I also wear specs! I love my specs it means I can see to cross the road & stuff like that 😂
My new year wish will be a green house ☺️🍀
I also wish for you to get a greenhouse! I can’t live without ours anymore!
Mine too! Let’s see if we ´ll have one in 2024!
@@11ozzielover so sweet of you 😍thank you so much🙏🏻 now I am hopefull ☺️🍀

My wish for next year is a nice large poly tunnel. ❤
Hi Ben, I know you’ve done many strawberry videos but could you do one about “what to do before winter” , “what to do with the offshoots over winter” zone 6b , thanks for inspiring me to garden ❤ I was severely depressed before watching your videos . They have sparked an interest for me to gardening. Over the summer I built a greenhouse, built five huge raised beds, started a chicken coop and now working on a walk way. Thanks Ben 😊
Yes I would love to see that too !! 👍
Great suggestions! Zone 6A here
Thank you for sharing your story. I too healed myself in the garden many years ago, and the garden and chickens continue to engage, nourish and save me time and time again. 🙂
Check out my latest video - which has suggestions on using strawberry runners. I'm so pleased the videos have brightened your day! :-)
Thank you for the video 😊 I was so excited to watch it. Now hopefully I will get my strawberries in order before winter. Thanks Ben
I love your upbeat and enthusiastic attitude! Thanks for the tips. I've just finished planting cilantro, parsley, green onions, and Swiss Chard as part of my fall garden.
I told him he's the happiest guy online. his positivity is good for my soul
Thanks so much guys - you're too kind! So pleased you're making some good sowings for your fall garden @SistaChic. :-)
I was planning on popping in some Chard this week too 💚
Let several of these winter greens go to seed in the spring and allow them to spread around your garden. They will become prolific weeds with the advantages that they exclude other weeds and can simply be pulled and eaten.
Two red mustard plants (over two meters high at harvest) gave me enough seed for kitchen for most of a year and I cook with them twice a week.
That’s a really great tip. Thanks so much for sharing that. :-)
A weed that we can eat finally!!!!!
Ben, you bring so much joy to gardening. Your energy level is incredible and very contagious!!! Learned quite a bit form your videos. Many good comments and shared growing information; they have been quite helpful. I live in Zone 9 with mild climate. Your suggestions are so valuable to us, gardeners, Thank you so much for all your valuable videos, suggestions and comments. Enjoy watching your Healthy Garden!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comments. Very happy gardening to you - and here's to a superb 2024 growing season I hope! :-)
I grow mizuna in Japan and it is very hardy. I have had it snowed on before with no problem. If you cut it at the base for the leaves it grows back quickly for more harvesting later.
Ive grown Mizuna in the middle of summer in the punishing CA heat. It grows like a champ and tastes great while other lettuces just bolt and are so bitter they’re inedible. A wonderful plant. 🎉 especially with a sesame ginger dressing. 😅
Love that you have those huge spiderwebs on the wall behind you. I hope the webs are active and the owners are doing their job. 2:14.
They certainly are!
Hello! I just started my gardening journey a week ago, and I am obsessed! The extremely cheap pots and seeds due to what time it is in the year is a brilliant bonus and headstart for me. I'll be sure to sow some of these next month!
Good luck. It’s a fun journey.
You’ll love it! Best journey ever.
I went on a scavenge for pallets to build a compost zone today and when I found some (B&M store Suffolk, England) they had loads of ruptured bags of compost they were not going to sell… they let me have them (50L bags) for £1 each … only had a tiny hole
In each bag and there was minimal dirt left in the car boot.
Win win!
Welcome to the fold. Wishing you much success. Happy gardening!
What an awesome result @Spindlegrind!
You are the best of you tube!
I started some January King cabbages last year and set them out in a raised bed at the appropriate time. They were coming along nicely, and I expected to harvest them in late winter or early spring. But here in Tennessee (USA) we were hit with extraordinarily COLD weather right at Christmas -- down to zero fahrenheit, and wind chill about 10 degrees colder. My wonderful little cabbages did not survive, but after watching your video, I believe I'm going to try them again this year. Thank you for all the encouragement about late gardens!
I hope you manage to enjoy a crop of cabbages this time round. :-)
Great channel I've just got myself an allotment so watching some of your videos to get some tips. 😊
I just came in from my “September” sowing to cook dinner and saw this video 😆
I’m banking of a little more sun and have done some late fast growing carrots, spring onions, cauliflower, radish, kale and peas (for pea shoots mostly…. But you never know! With UK weather!)
Hope they all grow well for you!
It was kind of you to mention the US (Winter) equivalent to your zone. For those of us with hot summers and sometimes brutally cold winters the mild UK climate can be perplexing.
I live in zone 8 USA. We're in the dog days of summer here (high 90s, 100s). But still planning my fall garden. Swiss card, kale, beets, carrots, spinach, kohlrabi, bokcoy, and collards.
I've been gathering up old windows around the farm. I plan to put Together a few cold frames to keep some greens going as long as possible. Love this fresh greens and all the store bought ones don't taste as good nor last as long. But future plans are to build me a small green house with these old windows.
My garden has been awesome this year. A lot is due to your awesome advice I have followed. And my wonderful home grown fertilizer from my horses and donkey lol. My cows have been on vacation all summer visiting t
My friends bull so , the Lord willing, in Jan ill have calves and in April...a MULE, hopefully a gaited mule. This old lady's little farm is growing.
Y'all have a blessed Sunday
Sounds like an awesome little farm!
The idea of the basket-planting is terrific. I have loads of them, so that is what I shall do. Yours is (for me) the best garden channel. Your plants look normal, the occasional brown leaves, you also have slugs and all the banes of a gardeners life. You do not pretend your garden is all perfect. This year started rainy, here in North Germany, but now I have a really good harvest - if a little late. I found the fine netting invaluable for all sorts of critters and my carrots do not have any chewed paths by the carrot fly. Of course, for plants that need insects for fertilizing, I removed the net when they started flowering.
@Braisin-Raisin
An economical way to obtain fine netting for garden use is to get sheers (curtains) at the thrift store. They are economical, they are large enough to do the job, and you are keeping them out of the land fill. I also use get a sheet, to line pots, to tear up for use as ties in the garden. Trying to reduce use of plastic in my life!
@@dianeroome972 Thank you very much for the excellent hint!
Thanks for your kind comments. It was an exceptionally slug-prone start to the summer here!
I just want to say thank you (and not for the first time). Seeds ordered, this has been year 1 and you've seen me right. I have chillies, long red pepper, aubergine, pumpkins, tomatoes, and so much more in my little space and they're all doing so well! My favourite youtube channel by far... apart from the one I work for if the boss sees this haha.
This is a joy to hear! So pleased you’ve had so much growing so well!
This is my first time growing French breakfast. They’re already sprouting. My husband doesn’t care for radishes but I love them.
Miner's lettuce got it's name during the California Gold Rush. The part of California where the mining happened was so heavily forested that there wasn't enough sunlight on the forest floor to grow other types of lettuces.
What a great anecdote. Thanks for sharing this!
I tried growing mizuna a few years ago, My mizuna failed for some reason this year, but I will grow it again. It adds so much to a salad.
Howdy Ben! Your greenhouse looks like a sweet place to hang out in. Y'all's garden areas are looking so good!👍
Thanks for the great info!😃
Thanks so much! :-)
Good video, thanks. I very much appreciate you including your US hardiness zone; it helps a lot for translating your advice to my climate.
I normally get tired around this time of the year, but I will keep going, thank you!
Great to hear! 😀
I too love French Breakfast radish. 3 days ago I re-seeded a planter with radish, spinach and beetroot for a Fall ( Autumn) crop. Will try some of these greens too in a planter I plan on cleaning out next week. I also have one planter annually in use with cover crops because they dont die here in winter ( 9b Sacramento,Ca) ; I am able to wait until December to turn them in and by March plant in that planter, the planters rotate, so one I currently have cucumber and butternut squash in will become my next cover crop planter for 2024. I use a 7 planter rotation for cover crops.Thanks Ben, great videos.
Do try some of the greens - you won't regret it!
You brighten the dismalest of days Ben. As always, great info, thank you! 🤗Off to the garden centre for seeds tomorrow 💃
Thanks so much! Happy sowing!
Good morning Ben, love the Asian greens you planted, they do look a bit tender. I am considering sowing some of those seeds, and I must say their flavour is very good. Take care, kind regards.
Do sow some of them, they're fab!
So glad you mentioned about spring greens, I’ll be on that first thing tomorrow, I thought I’d had it til next year!
Great job! :-)
Thank you Ben again! We love your videos!You keep us motivated.
That’s awesome to hear!
Brilliant, thank you. I look forward to your videos dropping as they reignite my excitement about growing my own food. Off to sow some oriental leaves....
So pleased you're inspired to get sowing! :-)
Great video Ben. so many things can be sown even this late in the year
Cheers Tony! Hope you’re all well and good. 😀🎉🙌
Do you ever watch Steve Richards Sea Side kitchen garden as he has great videos on winter growing?
Other things I plant in September; zone 7b. Arugula, Cress, Endive, Lettuce, Mache, Cilantro, Winter Giant Spinach, Daikon Radish, Collards, Kale, Bunching Onions, Swiss chard, Parsley, Mustard, Oats, Wheat, Rye, and I, ever optimistic, since I save my own seed, try peas as well (I might get lucky). And for really really late winter...Feb planting of bread seed Poppy (right before it all starts up again with the spring planting in March)
Great list of things to be planting there!
Thanks Ben! That gives me jobs for today. We're supposed to be getting a mini heat wave this week; makes a change from all the rain
Certainly does!
They bolt really quickly and the slugs love them. My advice is enjoy them while they last.
Always love your vlogs, and learn something new every episode
Thank you!
Great 👍 video!!! Looks like I’m going to look for Asian greens for my greenhouse this year!
Thankyou!!!!!!!!!
Marking the rake is such a good idea!!
Hi Ben, I love your videos and always anticipating the next one. I live in South Carolina and can grow spring, summer and fall. But in the last years it got really tricky to start fall crops in 95 degrees F/ 35 degrees C. I know you in England don’t have that problem but I can imagine that I’m not the only one who is dealing with it and would appreciate some thought in that direction. I’m looking up the germination temperature but I am so lost how often to water. It looks like I should water every day. Thanks for all you do, it’s much appreciated.
Dealing with the same thing. It was 105 degrees yesterday. Thankfully we have coolish snap this next week. Hopefully the seeds I sowed a few weeks ago will start sprouting with the cooler weather.
Same here in Georgia.
hello from Florida! the biggest difficulty i've had with heat is that if it lasts deep into the fall season it can encourage bolting - particularly on my greens. if its still warm around harvest time, really keep an eye on things and even harvest a bit early, if youre worried about bolting.
for my fall garden, i often start seeds indoors (like most people do for spring plantings) then transplant outside when the nighttime lows begin to dip down into the high 70s.
as for water, the amount really depends on the plant and on the amount of rainfall in your area. generally i like to run my irrigation early in the morning, just after sunrise, and if it doesn't rain during the day, I'll run it a little bit more in the evening. watering in the middle of the day is not super effective at keeping my plants going.
It's worth starting things off indoors to avoid the heat. I would water whenever the soil is dry - you can stick finger in about an inch deep to check for soil moisture. If it's dry, water.
Love your greenhouse and your enthusiasm!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow...your Dad must be an Angel for him to have such a beautiful Queen like you I really love to have you here on TH-cam and you are a type of woman GOD created after eve 😊I hope will can be friends even we don't know each other. I will love to get to know more about you dear, that's if you don't mind!!!!!
@@Keithanderson490 the bots are getting more creative
@@jackieo8693 I would love to get to know you better, why don’t you leave your number or probably your email and I will contact you immediately.
When you know what you're doing no need to buy from the stores lol. And with a green house. Beautiful garden vegetables looks delicious
Sowed all my winter/early spring salad leaves & spinach today, along with a last lot of radish, turnip & spring onions.
All in cell trays.
I'll split them 50/50 between the polytunnel & outdoor beds.
Interesting idea using the trays on staging - might try that but I've only a couple of trays.
I've some Greyhound cabbage seeds left & it's worth trying them, as I've plenty of fleece & netting to help protect them from birds & cold.
Thank you so much I really really appreciate your time and effort when going us all this valuable information. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Mags 😀
Just subscribed….. so grateful this came up on my TH-cam feed. Thank you
Thanks for subscribing - and a warm welcome to you!
Oh my word zone 8! I never would have guessed for the UK! Thanks for mentioning 😅 I'll have to adapt the advice as I'm in a Canadian zone 3 😬 but i did plant out some arugula and pac choi last week. Fingers crossed for at least some baby greens.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Ben, you're a legend 😁👍🏻
Thanks! 😀
Thank you.
How beautiful what he does 😍
Thank you so much. :-)
Im on the west Coast of the US, but also zone 8 so i love your videos!
Great stuff! :-)
I was so looking forward to some late plantings but an injury means I’ll be lucky to harvest what I have. O well. Such is life. Next year! For sure. And I will watch this again! Promise.🇨🇦❤️👍
Hope you get better soon. :-)
@@GrowVeg - awww, I wasn’t looking for sympathy, but I’ll take your kindness in. I’ve learned so much from you that I feel I’ve let you down. Silly, eh? Anyway, enjoy your lovely garden and all its bounty.
Excelente video 🙌🏻
Gran trabajo
Woow fantastic work 🤩
Thanks so much. :-)
When you push the soil down the plug trays, you always
Look
Like you’re playing the piano lol
I love your green house it looks so cosy 😊❤
Haha, I guess it does look a bit like that! 😀
Hi Ben - apologies for ambushing you at feastival at the weekend - best regards Stephen - good video as always
Ah Stephen! It was really great to meet you. Thanks so much for coming up and saying hello! 😀
Great stuff 👍💚 I actually sowed the same radishes and some mixed salad leaves end of last week. Already seeing germination. I think I’d like to do some mizuna too, (got some with a magazine) might do as you did and sow into trays so they can go where the tommies come out 💚
Great to have them germinating already. 😀
I just ordered mizuna and komatsuna thanks to your advice I have 3 greenhouses so I can experiment I never heard of them
So pleased to have inspired you!
Another amazing video thanks for sharing your experience with your garden 🪴
Thanks for the helpful tips! You make it look so easy! This is my second year having a little raised bed behind our library. So, I am building my gardening confidence! It's about 4 ft by 4ft, but I can get a good variety out of it. The tomatoes and basil like to take over though! 😄 So, my question is can I grow broccoli outside if I use the hoop cover? I live in Southern Indiana, USA and my zone is 6a. Winter is usually about ten degrees, but it was a very harsh winter last year with the wind chill as low as -30! Thanks for your help!
I think it may be just a touch too cold to be growing broccoli over the winter, certainly outside, but in a hoop house you may well get away with it - the sprouting broccoli anyhow.
Amo su trabajo
Hi, Ben! North Florida Zone 8 is in many ways like yours, and in many ways not so much. I've got all of my seeds for Fall, but the weather has been so hot here (Upper 90's and 101 yesterday and possibly again today) that I can't even sow indoors in my laundry room!! Hopefully, it will cool down enough to get my plants started. It's also been impossible for me to get outside to work the garden. It's just not healthy for a 70 year old lady. Nevertheless, I'll be out there as soon as the weather cools a little. My goal this year is to plant a year's worth of English peas and snow peas, broccoli and cauliflower. Anything else I plant that survives the winter will be considered a fresh-eating bonus!
Hope the weather cools down for you soon!
One of the problems of Brisbane Australia is that it is way too hot to garden except in the early mornings so things become a little neglected.
Sorry to hear this. Hopefully things are cooling off a bit for you now.
I only have a smallish balcony space, but do have a racked planter (metal framed with fabric planting troughs), and I just realised I could make a clear plastic hood to fit over it, so could try out some of these winter plantings.
The only difficulty is I fear I don't get quite enough sunlight for successful vegetable growing (it's east/south-east facing, and there's an overhang above it - meaning I also have to water, no matter how rainy it is). I do have land cress and radish seed, though, so may as well give it a go!
Thanks for the inspiration.
Do give it a go!
My first year and my garden is so pathetic but i'm trying my best, There is so much to learn.
I’m sure you’re doing better than you give yourself credit for!
Buenas técnica de selección de la tierra
Gracias. :-)
Q bellas plantas
Thank you! I will give the mustards a try. 💜
This garden is beautifull and wonderfull
Wow
Hermoso huerto
Everything looks spectacular
Muy buena información
Excelente video de cultivo
Thank you for mentioning the heartiness zone. If you could, I think it would be very useful if you were to also mention your fist frost date when discussing late-season crops. I’m in zone 9B, so my first frost may be as much as a whole month later than you.
Almanac website gives all American frost dates when you type in your zip code..
Good idea. Typically my first frost is early to mid November.
Credito al video muy buena informacion para nuestro cultivos 💚💚💚🌱

Maravilloso
Hello! Fantastic video as usual and echoing everyone else here i have no idea of why you haven't been picked up to replace all these gardening hosts that waffle on. Concise and hugely helpful as always!! May i ask, what soil/mix do you use when germinating/potting as i have very little success with what most of the internet tells me and seems impossible to keep the soil from drying out! Many thanks
Thank you for your kind words. I just use an all-purpose/multipurpose potting soil/mix, which I sieve to give a finer texture for smaller seeds.
Muy bonitas verduras
Lindo trabajos
Gracias! :-)
I only have 5 wks left till avg first frost date- still have veggies that are getting close to harvest- no time/space for fall garden.
Some things do better after a frost, many greens, for example and they can be harvested leaf by leaf so they're 'ready' as soon as the leaf is big enough to eat. You don't need fruit to ripen. YMMV but where I am US Z6 we get a frost mid-Oct and then it's warm enough for cool season greens through Thanksgiving at least. So I get them started now in trays, pot up to small pots and once the first frost knocks out the heat lovers I plunk these in their place.
Good👍
I was wondering what zone u lived in … so in Georgia I’m zone 8A… I’ve planted in pots sweet potatoes and they are going crazy and planting more today…. The slips are ready… cold here hits end of Dec… but freezing weather Jan/Feb…. So looking forward to those producing!! And of course lettuces in pots and broccoli n kale in raised bed…. Happy gardening 😊
Very exciting to be growing more sweet potatoes!
