On the 20th of January,I planted three bits of ginger. For the first time I now have three ginger plants. I’m so excited as I failed two years in a row. Love your content. Lupins remind me of childhood and how the drop of rain gathers in the middle.
Another kale if you can find the seeds are Ethiopian Kale. It has tasty small,sweet tender leaves that are smooth and rounded. Grows to 2 ft. Very winter hardy! Good for people who do not like kale. More like a spinach.
Hi Niall just caught up,great tips on the tomatos, i like the golden sunrise,very sweet and tasty can't beat home grown. Was my 70 birthday last Wednesday,house full of beautiful flowers,and I had a little bucket with compost and cornflower seeds to set in it, so theyll be lovely. I had a red and a white Camelia bought for me so need to find a bit of space for them, great vlog as always thanks for your knowledge, take care bye for now,happy gardening 😊🌸💮🪷🌷🌺🪻🌻,x
Greetings, Niall, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA We are expecting some rain 🌧 today, but it was 67°F at 5a.m and mid-70's is the expected high. It's March, Spring is just around the corner. Take care of yourselves ☘️💚☘️ ❤Peggy❤
Morning Peggy! We've got quite a nice day here. Would you believe, when I filmed this it was lovely then within a day it was SNOWING!! And now it's back to being lovely weather! Hope you're keeping well ❤️
Niall - Your video is the perfect companion to my morning coffee. I cleaned up the yard yesterday. Planted a white on white rose of sharon. A peaceful day to all Niall Gardners!!! ❤
I love kalettes- I grow them every year0 so tender and tasty. Love the tops too and any flower shoots they sometimes grow. I have 60 luping seedling pricked out at the moment- festival and the governor, noble maiden and chatelaine pink. Greta for cutting as well as nitrogen fixing. I grow cornflowers every year with papaver rhoeas, ( the field poppy). They look so pretty together and so colourful. Together with Ammi Majus they look like a wild flower meadow :-) I grow san Marzano, gardeners delight, honeycomb and garden pearl every year. Happy gardening Niall 😃
naill youre on the ball this morning with answering comments. I have 25 tomato varieties this year. Oops. Honey dew are lovely and sweet and dont split.
I'll be honest. I've watched exactly one of your videos. This one actually. I subscribed because an over-the-top, campy gardener with an Irish accent cracked me up.
Love all these. Last year my bachelor buttons around my spiral grew to be over 5 feet tall. I got back from my yearly Ireland trip and they were a forest out there. I let them go to seed and enjoyed watching the birds feasting.
Hi Niall, I did plant few Kellet plants last year and took exactly 1 year to my plants to provide me with something for me to have a taste of it. Way too long 😂😂!!! Maybe was my fault but I don't know what I did wrong. I will probably will try again this year, just to confirm my suspicions 😅.
Hi Niall, it’s wonderful to watch your videos. I am from county Waterford. I have started with lupin, cosmos and more flower seeds this time😇. I was wondering about the garden arch behind , can you please share your recommendation.
TIL: Lupines fix nitrogen! Great to lean! I just started my sweet peas indoors. I'm hoping that I'll get some early growth to harden off for some blooms before mid-summer this year 😅 I'm also going to try tomatoes for the first time and I'm researching ways to insulate a few plants. Unfortunately the landlord won't agree to me putting in a greenhouse here (and I'll wait until I have my own space anyways!)... Cheers from Galway!
Thank you for this great video I love Lupin,I've tried them for the last two years,tried both from seeds and bought plants from garden center....but no successf.but I won't be defeated, your given me the motivation to try them again!!😂🎉
Hi Niall. So glad you mentioned sungold tomatoes! That is exactly what I’ve sown as my first attempt this year and I’ve four really healthy looking plants on the windowsill. I’m N Ireland so like yourself I’m waiting before transferring to the greenhouse. Have a great day.
The only Brassica I haven't been cursed with so far is the Italian Kale (Nero di Toscana). Everything else grows to 10cm and then goes straight to seed. 😅 We have had really hot summer days in May and June the last couple of years, when the plants were only outside for a few weeks. I am definitely going to try the kalettes, thank you for the tip!
Yes, tree kale is so cool! I haven't had much luck yet looking for seeds or small plants - I think they're very uncommon where I am from. I hope I can get my hands on the purple variety, it's so pretty!
Hi Niall ❤ video I'm going to do lupins, I have started teazle and miss wilmotts ghost indoors at the moment as apart from raised beds my soil is poor 👍
All great veggies and plants but the Lupine do stand out with me. I volunteer at a 275-Year-old doctors house in Rhode Island (old by USA standards) and faithfully drifts of the plants bloom there every year in May, a rich sky blue with s royal purple underlay.. I can't help but wonder if they may be decedents of the doctor's medicinal plants when he practiced there in the 1700s.
We had no luck with Lupins at all. They are one of my favourite plants and we therefore planted loads, protected them from slugs and all. But instead of multiplying, they completely disappeared. Not sure why, but this was quite frustrating
Hey Niall, love the video, where can you get the BABBINGTON leeks in ireland... cant find them via seedsireland... any suggestions appreciated... cheers.
Write a comment and let's some more ideas going! What are you growing and sowing right now? 😃

That is awesome! It honestly makes me so happy when I hear that people enjoy watching. Thank you
thanks for the tips, I ordered some black ball corn flowers! love that colour
Fair play to you Niall.... I've been a sub since you were under 1k ....you mske great content..... you'll be 50k and higher very soon.
That's really kind of you, thank you. Fingers crossed I reach the 50k soon!

Never ever heard of them, and I am obsessed! 😮
@@RealBradMiller ? Obsessed with?
Babington leeks are on my list just got welsh onions. Lupins I suffer with from slug attacks.
Yeah Lupins are like the pizza of the slug world! Irresistible to them! 😂 You can tell what my fave food is!
naill youre on the ball this morning with answering comments. I have 25 tomato varieties this year. Oops. Honey dew are lovely and sweet and dont split.

Lovely to see you on Home Grown the other day
Searched for it and couldn't find it. Mind telling me if it is a podcast, or what? 🌱🥑🏵️🌻🍆😁🌞
It's a TV programme on Irish TV@@RealBradMiller

Another great video Niall! Thanks as always for the great gardening tips and beautiful videography
So nice of you, you're welcome!
Thanks for the information. Love lupins and cornflower. Can't go wrong with tomatoes. YUMMY.
Thanks Niall, for another really helpful video. Im going to try the Babington leeks this year. Lupins remind me of Ecuador.

Indoors I have artichokes, tomatoes, leeks, and greens started.

Sungold are great starter variety and should perform well. Just give them oodles and oodles of light
@@niallgardens Thanks Niall, they are all leaning towards the light as we speak. They have that lovely tomato smell already from the leaves.
Good morning Niall,hope all's well,I'll catch up with this later, just off to church bye for now take care, happy gardening 💓 xxx
Have a nice morning at church!
Great video Niall! I am growing snapdragons, foxgloves, geraniums, strawflower, marigolds and gomphrena. 😊
Sounds great! I've got some snapdragons, foxgloves, strawflowers and marigolds going too - so we've got quite few growing in common!
Wonderful selection 💕
Good Morning Niall 🙂 🌱
Good morning! 👋
Wow nice plant👍
Thank you so much! I'm growing San Marzano
Love these what to sow videos ❤
I have just sown my cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, pray for the tomatoes as I don’t have the best track record 😂
Your lupines are gorgeous. Unfortunately I can’t grow it - looks like the ph is off. I
The only Brassica I haven't been cursed with so far is the Italian Kale (Nero di Toscana).

I am definitely going to try the kalettes, thank you for the tip!
This is reassuring to know that I'm not the only one!!! 😂 Hopefully you have success with the Kalettes also!
Tree Kale is pretty bullet-proof and perennial as well.
Yes, tree kale is so cool! I haven't had much luck yet looking for seeds or small plants - I think they're very uncommon where I am from. I hope I can get my hands on the purple variety, it's so pretty!
Hi Niall: I stopped planting Lupine because they get such a bad case of white aphids. How do you prevent that on yours? Thanks, DA
Hi Niall ❤ video I'm going to do lupins, I have started teazle and miss wilmotts ghost indoors at the moment as apart from raised beds my soil is poor 👍
Sounds great! Lovely choices - I particularly love Miss Wilmott's Ghost!
All great veggies and plants but the Lupine do stand out with me. I volunteer at a 275-Year-old doctors house in Rhode Island (old by USA standards) and faithfully drifts of the plants bloom there every year in May, a rich sky blue with s royal purple underlay..

That's such a shame that they didn't work out for you. At what point did they disappear? Was it over the winter?
@@niallgardens Hi! Yes over the winter. A real shame
Any tips to protect lupins from slugs and snails
Make trends, please:) Den said 😊
Hey Niall, love the video, where can you get the BABBINGTON leeks in ireland... cant find them via seedsireland... any suggestions appreciated... cheers.
