This week we had a frost warning so I harvested all my outdoor tomatoes I now have 11 jars of green tomato chutney. I weeded my brassicas tunnels and harvested a red cabbage which was yummy. I was able to make veggie wraps with onions, carrot, parsnips, turnip and red peppers etc. I have taken some foliage from the pumpkin patch to open up the fruits to the sun. We had American visitors this week and I made a pumpkin pie using frozen pulp from last year’s harvest She was delighted Another good week thank you for all your guidance and support. Pete
Wow, Pete! It sounds like you've had an incredibly productive week! Your green tomato chutney and veggie wraps sound delicious. Great job on managing your garden so well!
Wow we are really on the same page. I had a lot of sunflowers and cosmos this year in my garden also and have been putting in spring onions myself. I have mine covered this year because of the very bad allium leaf miner problem I had last year. I can't match with the brassicas in my climate but hope to harvest some in the coming weeks. Grand kids are very cute and seem to be enjoying the fruits of your labor. They look like future gardeners to me.
It's awesome to hear we're both growing sunflowers and cosmos Frank! Those allium leaf miners can be quite the nuisance, but it sounds like you're managing well. We just love to see them eating great food and enjoying it. Fingers crossed for your brassicas this season!
Well, I imagine you've got lots of Melon seeds saved for next year because you won't get away with not growing an annual crop for Charlies birthday! Sounds like you may have to grow watermelon too! Sugar baby or one of the smaller varieties should ripen in your climate ok. Your garden looks very healthy despite the cool temperatures. Happy gardening everyone. 🌱🍃
Wow another amazing video, Im trying to get all my beds ready and topped up for winter crops. Busy potting on all my many crops lol. Happy birthday to the little man, also that melon looked amazing well done
I totally understand! Having more undercover space can really make a difference in your gardening efforts. Hopefully, you can find a solution that works for you!
Thank you for your kind words Ken! It’s so rewarding to see the kids enjoying their fruits and veggies. There is still time to sow spring cabbage if you can do it this week. Keep up the great work in your plot!
Another wonderful video guys. I’ve had my best butternut squash season as well, last few years I had no harvest but this season 6 fruits from 2 plants 😊😊😊🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
I just have to say a massive thank you to your wife. I have just made the tomato tart tattan for my vegan daughter and grandson. To say it was a successful is an understatement. Thank you.
Hi Mrs W and Barry. Great video. I have just topped up 2 raised bead that I was growing beetroots and parsley in. Now replaces with more beets, endive and lettuce. I am finding it hard to keep up with the harvest of tomatoes and beans- french & runner. I seem to be constantly picking and prepping them for preserving. I still have about 25 beetroots to harvest- it's just finding the time. I think my courgettes have now come to an end- very slow now. I have a lot of avoy cabbage now ready and replacement plants to put out. My sunflowers are going over now- lots of seeds for the wildlife- they will enjoy them. All my autumn sowings for over winter are doing well. They will be ready to prick out in a week, I think. My dahlias are still flowering well, but the sweet peas have now finished. my 2nd sowing of mange tout are producing well- I grew oregon first harvest and a purple one now. Waiting for a seed delivery to sow some more crops fr winter- giant winter spinach, chard and spring onions. My red cabbage is now hearted up and I will start to harvest them slowly- great they stand well, isn't it! I have just 3 melons on my plants, (Emir). Sadly no sugar baby7 watermelons :-( - maybe next year! Happy gardening 🙂
Wow, it sounds like you've got a thriving garden over there! It's amazing how much you've accomplished. We were so happy and so was Charlie that we got a melon harvest. Time is the one thing we can't preserve, like you say finding enough to keep up is a challenge. Keep up the great work with all those vegetables Be!
Thank you so much for your kind words Darren! I appreciate your interest in storage tips-keeping onions fresh is all about the right environment! We keep ours in our pantry which is cool and dark with good airflow. A shed or garage works really well, we just live in an old house with a pantry. Do avoid storing them in plastic bags, a net or slatted crate helps to create the air flow!
I'm really sorry to hear that! Frost is really unusual at this time of year, you have been so unlucky. We only went down to 4 degrees last week so avoided the frost!
Hi Barry and Mrs w still got my sweetcorn in not be long now get them before the rat's do been picking more Tom's and garkins got some nice savoy cabbages got one it's like a football and nice celery the Allotment shop as onions Sets in and garlic bulbs got spring cabbages in out side .hope your grand son had nice birthday well Mrs w and Barry bye for now stay safe 👍
Thanks for the update! It sounds like you’ve got a fantastic harvest coming in. Charlie had the best birthday with us all and ate all that lovely melon. Enjoy all those fresh veggies my friend!
Lovely gardening enjoy the Harvest ❤🎉
Thank you! Gardening truly brings so much joy, especially when it's time to enjoy the fruits of our labour!
Loved seeing the grandchildren enjoying the harvest .😍 Everything's slowed down here in the midlands .
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Harvest time really is a wonderful time to share with family!

@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 i hope so, wish I had more under cover space

@@nodignorfolkgardener4575 yes hopefully always thinking of new idea
Great to see the children tucking into fruit and veg. Were' keeping up with you with the planting out but no spring cabbage. I missed it somehow.

Loved the video. Would like to know how you store the onions to keep them at their best. Thanks

Frosted our Derbyshire garden for several nights, courgettes, squash, beans and tomatoes gone.
