I'm sowing all of my flowers. Zinnia, gomprena, amaranth, drumsticks, portulaca, cranberry hibiscus, rose mallow, datura, sunflowers, sunflowers, sunflowers, ... ok too many to list hahah.
I have grown Calendula all of my gardening life. I save my own seeds and I haven't bought any for soon-to-be 20 years. I use Calendula with olive oil to make a remedy to use on cuts and scrapes, sunburn, insect bites, and dry skin in general. It will also add color and mild pepper flavor to salads, rice dishes, and meatloaves. One of my absolute faves :D
James Prigioni has a cool trick for growing carrots. Put planks of wood over the carrot rows and it keeps them more moist - so their germination time ( usually three weeks or so) is more than halved.
Not sure if your going to read this Niall, as this video is quite old, but the bean with the funny name is a Dutch name: "stok-kievits-boon" translates to Pole-lapwing-bean. I am guessing because the colouring reminds people a bit of lapwing birds?
Greetings from Langley BC🇨🇦. Great video and what caught my eye was your title. “What to sow in April”. So helpful. I look forward to future videos to help me through this gardening season. Happy Gardening. 🍀😊
I heard you mention "F1" several times, and I'm unfamiliar with this term. I'm from the U.S.A and haven't seen it on any of my seed packets. Please let me in on what that means! Also, I love your monthly videos and have already started my calendula, peas, collard greens, merlot lettuce, statice, and ranunculus. I'm looking forward to planting so much more this spring! Happy gardening!
I’m so happy I found your channel Niall, however now that I’ve binge watched all your videos now I have to wait for Sunday releases! I love your passion for what you’re talking about each video
Great selection. I would love to have space to grow as much. This year the theme of my garden is “veggies I can’t buy in the store” so purple carrots, purple beans and purple radish 🤗
I'm totally in agreement with that plan, and have done exactly the same in the past! So many veggies are overpriced in the supermarket, or are hard to find. Love the sound of what you're growing... purple radishes! Yum!
Really enjoyed this one Niall, interested to see what you think of the pink fir apple! A few people swear by those and I forgot I was meant to try growing it this year! Condolences for your chair :( Great advice on the 'must plants'!
so i was readinthing something the other day and it said that beans have so much pesticide and feratliser contamination that you have to eat them organically so i cant wait to have them home grown
Wow, it doesn't seem very long since I commented I was your 1000th sub. Fantastic to see your channel grow quickly. All of the Nasturtium is edible including the seeds which are sometimes called "Poor mans capers". I appreciate the 1440p quality! Great video.
It's crazy isn't it?! It's starting to take off, which I'm really chuffed about! I didn't know that about the Nasturtium seeds - how cool! That's a new one on me! I think you're the first person to comment on the 4k quality - thank you, because I intentionally film it at 4k so it's great that you noticed!
Great video Niall, so much sowing,well done. Found out this week how gorgeous purple sprouting brocoli is to eat raw, shared some with other gardeners and we all agreed, and the leaves are edible too cooking like cabbage, heard that last one from Terry King. Can't wait to seed those veg beds in full glory. Again well done, you really are keeping busy. Rainbow chard one of my faves to grow and brussels sprouts. Cucumbers are a must, we love them, especially with red onion,tomato olive oil salt and pepper.Interesting courgettes, ive only got from other gardeners, its something i don't use. Great video and so much great info.
Hi Lorraine! Oh raw purple sprouting broccoli sounds interesting... I suppose because it's small and tender it'd be lovely. I'm imagining it shaved with a vegetable peeler and added into a salad... yum! I love that you and I agree on veggie choices! And I'm obviously loving that you're enjoying the videos too! ❤️
@@niallgardens make sure to eat the little stems too, they are the icing on the cake, as the saying goes. Your videos are very informative,and very good, also that similar produce i keep a eye on whats going on. My brother sent me Cucamelon seeds,a challenge, we have sent each other ones to grow as a challenge. These are a first for me, never heard of them.
Enjoyed the video and yes I will be growing many of the same veggies when zone 4 allows. I have also enjoyed getting caught up viewing some of your older ones. Do you agree it would be safe to plant onion sets out as long as the ground is warm and dry? Onion set's do well here because of the short season.
Looks like your borlotti beans have a Dutch name. Stokkievitsboon means pole (stok) lapwing (kievit) bean (boon). The lapwing (peewit) part refers to the speckled look, which is similar to lapwing eggs. Pronounciation, something like: stock-keeveets-bone. How were the beans? Thanks for the videos!
The beans were delicious and I got loads of them so I'll be sowing more this year! What a lovely name now that you've explained its meaning - thank you!
Hey everyone! Hope you like this week's video! Tell me... what are you sowing this month, and why?
Sowing sunflowers, lettuce, cucumbers. Hoping by the time they are ready to set out, the weather should be warmer
I'm sowing all of my flowers. Zinnia, gomprena, amaranth, drumsticks, portulaca, cranberry hibiscus, rose mallow, datura, sunflowers, sunflowers, sunflowers, ... ok too many to list hahah.
I did most of my sowing already but still planning on sowing warm loving plants (nasturtiums, zinnias)

Oh ya I saw that video, but couldn't remeber who it was.
Oh, I'm gonna have to go over and check that video out - it sounds like a really interesting way of starting carrots! Thanks!
I've seen that too! Currently trialling it with carrots, dill and parsley - doing some with the plank and some without to compare the results!
Stuff gardens world , niall gardens all the way, collapsing chairs , neglected seedlings, clashing colours , misprounciations and all. :-) love it!
Your message has made me smile so so much! Thank you ❤️
Courgettes make a fabulous soup for the winter months that freeze's well
They really do!
Another great video, great to see marigold and nasturtium in your mix they're wonderful as companion planting.
Thanks very much Doug, delighted that you're enjoying the videos!

Thank you Niall. So helpful and inspiring. Greetings from Wiltshire. Right… I’m off to the potting shed.

Thanks Ami! Yeah crystal lemon ones are gorgeous!

Thanks so much JB! Yeah it's a new one on me, so it's going to be interesting to try it. I've got high hopes for seriously tasty potatoes! 😂
Fantastic video! I look forward to seeing all of your vegetables in the new garden space.
Ah thanks Carole! ❤️
so i was readinthing something the other day and it said that beans have so much pesticide and feratliser contamination that you have to eat them organically so i cant wait to have them home grown
Great information love your videos.
Glad you like them! Thanks for the lovely comment!

I watched a video on making the nasturtium capers. Nope hahahah sorry, not like regular capers are breaking the bank hahaha.
It's crazy isn't it?! It's starting to take off, which I'm really chuffed about! I didn't know that about the Nasturtium seeds - how cool! That's a new one on me! I think you're the first person to comment on the 4k quality - thank you, because I intentionally film it at 4k so it's great that you noticed!
Just started following, I love your attitude and gardening style! Looking forward to future videos!
Awesome! Thank you!
Another great video! You can indeed eat nasturtium leaves. You can even eat the seed pods as a substitute for capers :)
Good to know! That's a new one on me! How cool!
@@niallgardens its a very acquired taste, youll find out 😂

will u be showing how to store the beans when time comes ...thanks

Wonderful! You'll have to keep in touch and let me know how you get on with them!

Do you agree it would be safe to plant onion sets out as long as the ground is warm and dry? Onion set's do well here because of the short season.
So nice of you and delighted you're enjoying the videos! Yeah I'd agree - onion sets will be absolutely fine 👍
Make me wanna have a garden soon.
Go for it!
Looks like your borlotti beans have a Dutch name. Stokkievitsboon means pole (stok) lapwing (kievit) bean (boon). The lapwing (peewit) part refers to the speckled look, which is similar to lapwing eggs. Pronounciation, something like: stock-keeveets-bone.
How were the beans?
Thanks for the videos!
The beans were delicious and I got loads of them so I'll be sowing more this year! What a lovely name now that you've explained its meaning - thank you!
Na! Not gardeners world they call purple flowers blue😂 as an artist this annoys me love you videos ♥️🏴
Did you hear that parsnips are bad for the skin in the sun? FYI
