I have now taken the plunge and started up a Patreon space here / greensideup This gives a little more Green Side Up content to those who wish to help,support or give back to me. It will be slightly different to the content here on my channel in that it will be an informal style with a warts and all approach, its me, but from a different angle.
If you are enjoying my content, you can help me by buying me a packet of seeds. ko-fi.com/greensideup

Watching your excellent March video again in 2024 Steve. Missing you and your great advice ❤❤xx
Best to plant at the perfect time and that way it doesn't check the plants, reduce stress and disease and pest issues. Great video mate
It won't be long before the sob story videos appear, Tony LOL
Great video and very valuable information,thankyou 🌱🌱🌱
Fantastic video Steve, as are all your videos, so helpful. Lovely of you to share your years of knowledge. You and Charles Dowding are my favourite by far.
Rose Crush is another from the "Crush" family. Supposed to have a good degree of blight resistance (at present) - pink in colour, a bit bigger than Crimson Crush at 200-250g (mid to large beefsteak fruit ie not too pretty LOL). Planting out to maturity is around 70 days undercover or 80 days outdoors.
I'm growing all the Crush this year, Crimson, Rose, Plum and Cherry. Not grown them before hopefully they are blight resistant.
Thank you for the cautionary wisdom. Isn't it funny that, despite being growers of plants and lovers of nature, we have a hard time being 'part' of nature and keep wanting our gardens to work on our own schedule. It's 0 degrees tonight and lows of just 1 degree at night throughout the next week or two. With heavy clay soil, it'll take a lot more than that to dry and warm things up. I'll be waiting, like you, until the end of the month before thinking about it. Thanks for the chat. xx
OH OH OH! I cant wait for my March SOWING. I think spring is so hard as you see all the bulbs coming up and you all want to sow sow sow. But the plants will not be ok, they will be STRESSED! and They will be better in just a few weeks. Its been a act of self control that I have not sown any toms year. I will wait till 8 weeks before my last frost. I grow them all for my mum too from seed and she been asking and asking since novemeber! LOL 😝 I cant wait!
Be patient and work with nature. If it's too cold for shorts, t-shirt and flip-flops,... hold back on that seed-sowing urge..
Hi Steve, im trying zebrune shallots from seed this season. Great video on sowing seeds in March with lots of advice too. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
I've had some great success with Zebrune in the past. I found that my Zebrune seeds struggled to germinate this year.
Thank you!
Great stuff Steve I'm chopping at the bit to get my tomatoes in, I know it's too cold, but I don't have any heat mat or lights just my bedroom window sill so they take a bit longer to germinate so maybe the second week of March
Thanks Steve. Great vid presentation. Really thorough and just enough detail to follow. 10° is what we want.

Great vlog Steve and as always really informative thanks 👍
Thanks listening from Michigan USA zone 5 b.
Great video and advice Steve, really useful, thanks for taking the time in uploading it. Have a good week and stay safe David 👍👍
Great advice again Steve, patience...
Thank you great information so helpful for a new allotment holder
Great video and advice and many of us will be getting itchy to sow those tomatoes and early crops in but with another cold spell this week it pays to show some patience.
Are you doing your flowers seeds this year
Thanks Steve great video. I'll certainly hold off sowing for a while as weather is looking pretty cold this week. The poly tunnel is looking ready to go.!
Great video Steve. I'm sowing celery indoors today. I've bizarrely got loads of onions coming up in some pots where I sowed some bags of really old packets of green leaf micro seeds (up in my cold potting shed). Great bonus as I've had really poor germination on th onion seeds I started off earlier.
I saved my own tomato seed last year and decided to germinate them early just in case the y didn't succeed and I'd have time to put in more seed later. I now have 9 plants potted up so I'm religiously putting them in the cold conservatory by day and bringing them in the house at nights :-D
I need to learn patience 😂 I think I may need to start again with my tomato’s after watching your video, it’s a learning curve but thank you for an informative video, as always
Congratulations Steve,you have more subscribers than The Young Pretender!🎉
I've been naughty I sowed my tomatoes seeds hahaha. I couldn't wait any longer lol. Although it is a test and I've done 2 seeds and 3 varieties. Great video
Hi Steve yes you are right. The only thing for me is I have to start some of my tropical seeds early to get a head start as the growing season wouldn’t be enough for harvest like my jicama I started in January and my custard apple February.

How right you are Steve I'm really trying to hold off i do all my sowing at the plot except for chillies peppers and aubergines they are on my window sills so i don't take my seed box to the plot with me. Today i was preparing beds at the plot i was down to my T-shirt and before i left i was back to wearing jumper and fleece again the weather just not right yet at least not here in Belfast
I had so may tomatoe plants in the house last year steve cos they couldn’t go out till nearly the end of may so I not doing that again. I even had baby cu’s on my plants b4 they went to poly. I have loads of peppers chillies and a few aubergines pricked out so I can’t have too many plants in house. I have my geraniums and seed potatoes my house is like a nursery🤣🤣
Hey Steve, Good video lots of useful information as always.. You are so right about the overall weather conditions and being in tune to what is nature doing now. Watching for birds and insects to appear, trees to bud, certain flowers to sprout and bloom and any other sign of spring.
I know that for Tomatoes and Peppers the important measurement is the night time soil temperatures. If you are early and it goes to low and cold your plants may be stunted temporarily or for the life of the plant. Any time I plant starts in the ground early on a risk I always have an extra back up to swap into it's place for that reason. Otherwise I give that one away. Good luck with your spring sowing Cya next time.
BTW what is the word you always say at the end of the video and what does it mean?
I was just looking through my seed boxes not half an hour ago 🤣
Great video I meant
sacrilege…no Crimson Crush ! 🎉🇨🇦
Thanks for this, really helpful. Do you sow into multi purpose or seed compost? Seem to be struggling with sowings so far this year. Wondering if it's the cold, unheated greenhouse or need to try seed compost? Not had a problem in the past.
Which compost are you using?
What mixture should I use for carrots in a bucket and if you have drainage holes in the bottom do you have to raise the bucket of the ground to stop the carrot fly please.
Maybe you could put the seed names in the info?
And include variations for indoor windowsill starting things off? Would that mean a better start for toms or still too stop start?
Thank you for the content though! :)
Also, maybe you should start a cooking channel?!?
Hi steve I kind of going off multisowing leeks what do you think?
NO CRIMSON CRUSH THIS YEAR?!?! I never thought I'd hear the day! 🤣🤣🤣 Haha. Good luck with branching out to the other varieties 👍🏼
None for me either. They are not a particularly good tasting tomato, or rather, there are tomatoes that taste better these days.
@@DigwellGreenfingers funnily enough I saw their seeds for sale for the first time in a discount supermarket today. I might try them just to be contrary as it seems they're out of fashion this year 🤣
@@reggie5 Hope Steve doesn't mind the chat LOL Some reports say that the blight has mutated enough to make some of the older blight-resistant varieties almost "normal" - hence the increase in the number of new "Crushes" and "Sarpos" etc
may be a silly question soil temp is it surface temp or 2 inch down for example......thanks in advance
Good question! I’ve got a compost probe, like you say how deep to put it.👍🏻
Sow you direct sow all of it?
Goos video, but as a foreigner i can't follow the names of a lot of seeds
Nooooooooooo STEVE! I have watched and followed you for almost 2 years now and because of your influencing, I have decided this year, for the first time, to grow Crimson Crush and lone behold...... . ..........................
........................
..........................
Your NOT doing them this year!! AAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH! Typical 🤯
Oh well, good luck with everything this year pal 👍👨🌾
Steve. I think you ought to reply to some of your suscribers.
Steve’s had alot going on recently …. be kind.
You don’t look well Steve
