We have to keep our growing spaces real and show it has it is or viewers will think it's all greawhen it isn't. Growing leeks for the first time in 7 years and sowing them very soon, but won't be planting until spring. I only buy 4 bags of compost a year now and I get less rubbish in my home made compost. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
I’m waiting on my garlic from Ian too. Can’t wait to get them in. I popped in my own saved garlic already. Those trays from Grown Local do look good. I’m not growing over wintered onions this year. I never seem to get good results. My bad I’m sure. Have a great week. Mags
Great to see you again. Like you, I am also waiting for my garlic from Grown Local. After potting on your onion seedlings, I eould give them a light haircut and leave them in the greenhouse for a week before planting them out. Take care.❤
Nice to see you in the greenhouse 🧅. I'd rather have new vlogs than replies to the comments. Life happens, take all the time you need. I have 🔔the notice bell on.🌱🍂🍃🍁
You've got quite a lot going on there. I feel it's always a mucky time of year with so much to do - You'll get there eventually 😊 I bunged in some sets this year as I was so behind, and my leeks were rubbish. 🤣
Hi Mark, nice to see you back & yes, our lives do take priority at times & rightly so too. Your video are brilliant & if you don't have time to post them, that's ok 😊 love your videos. Give your onions a trim, it will strengthen them. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
@majordog2399 it certainly does so they can put energy into the bulb to form instead of the leaves. I trim again. I'm spring when i plant them too. I have had a really good crop this season, too, growing from seed. Never going back to sets 🙂
Hmmm...I'd worry about temperature fluctuations if bringing the onion seedlings indoors...they might bolt later. You take care Mark. Look forward to catch-ups whenever you have the time and inclination 😊 🌱
Lovely to see you again, it’s nice to see you potter in your glass house,. Yes we all have our responsibilities. Onion this early never worked for me. Don’t apologise for living your life ❤❤🪴💐☘️☘️
Another great video Mark I had a bit of a bad season lost all my onions to onion rot cherry tomatoes were a disaster romo did OK and my big toms had a big tom that weighted 475 grams so was pleased with that I got my greenhouses Al tidy up and pots cleaned and washed I'm trying to over winter cabbage cully and broccoli and building 2 raised beds 1 brand new the other is a replacement as its about had its day ready for next year
Thanks Kenny. Its been a funny old year this year that's for sure. Sounds like you've got a lot on the go for over winter I'm a big fan of getting things like raised beds sorted at this time of year ready for the next season. Here's hoping 2025 is a lot more straight forward 👍🌱👍
I'd be wary of molycoddling the onion seedlings too much. If they put on a lot of growth before winter, there's a risk that come Spring they will think they are in their second season, and bolt. I think you will be better off planting them out small. But you could always split into two batches and compare results, scientific like.
Great minds think a like Martin! That was my main worry about the onion seedlings. Bringing them into the warm and then putting them back out in the cold again. Might just keep them in the unheated greenhouse for another couple of weeks and then put them out 👍🌱👍
I said ages ago to JB that I hadn't seen many slugs this year , oh boy , they all showed up late once I erected my polytunnel. 😠😂. Way better than a beer trap :- 1 teaspoon of yeast mixed in 1ltr warm water with 2 teaspoons of sugar, its unreal how quick it works. slugs never touch my red salad bowl lettuce. I also read snap dragons deter lugs.👍
Never be ashamed of the veg plot - the gardening community lives in the real world and your channel is better than an artifical "You tube" reflection. Stay real and create on your own terms. Reminds me, I must get out before winter sets in and remove that rogue buttercup seedling - it's distracting from the nettle and dock background🙃

The two camera angles was great! You are a step ahead of a lot of other vloggers!
Nice one Mark

I always trim my onion seedling but a lot of people think it's wrong. I think it makes them stronger too.
@majordog2399 it certainly does so they can put energy into the bulb to form instead of the leaves. I trim again. I'm spring when i plant them too. I have had a really good crop this season, too, growing from seed. Never going back to sets 🙂
New subscriber here! I also have an allotment in Scotland so I'm really interested to see how yours grows so I can learn and compare!😀
I love your little watering bottle. So cute-what an easy way to do it.
Thanks Kate 😊
A couple of quid off eBay for the bottle toppers and a old Irn Bru bottle just the job for the wee seedlings 👍🌱👍

Hello Mark. Another great video and I'll give Grown Local (hope that's correct) a try cheers.
Always good to see your posts! My garden looks very neglected, once again I've left it a few weeks too late before clearing for winter!
I’m sorry if things are difficult at the moment. Great video anyway. Take care.
Quality content as always, I’ve had glass and would you believe part of a circuit board. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers John 👍🌱👍

Sorry you have burdens keeping you busy away from your garden. I've had a gardening season disrupted by such things too.
Thanks 🤗
Its been a funny old year! Here's to looking forward to 2025 and all that is has to offer 👍🌱👍
