Hi Tony, you are such a breath of fresh air, so funny when yoy said, I need the Scissors & can't be bothered to get them, poor leeks 😢 great update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Hi Tony and great video. We've noticed you've not been around as usual this week. Hope your sons graduation went well! Congrats 🎉 Just passing on well wishes and hope everything is ok 😊 Rach & Eric
Best Wishes for your journey to graduation. Yes, I cut the leek roots --- a trick I learned from "the Big GUY" GSUP --- also can cut the tops off too if too long he said . 👍
Tony if it had of been me i would have carried the Cauliflower along, planted it, then came back to the car with a wheel barrow and took everything along in one trip. I wash the roots of my leeks, but i have never heard of trimming the roots, definitely a new one on me, i also just make the hole, put the leeks in then water them ( leaving the hole unfilled, and i go down about 8", i tend to get more white without having to bank up, also with the hole left open they seem to grow a bit fatter than if the hole is closed ) I love your plot and really enjoy watching your videos, Been Stotting down here in Gateshead today.
So glad you're back- I have missed your morning ramblings the last couple of days! Always cheers me up watching your daily catch up. Greta seedlings! I somehow got mint in my flower borders at home and it;s a nightmare. I keep digging it up and them a bit more appears, lol! Happy gardening :-)
Very enjoyable update Tony. Your Pak Choi look great. Mine were decimated by slugs 😢 second batch on the way 🤞. I've also sown some more spinach and final beetroot for the season. I'm hoping for a warm and settled September and October, wouldn't that be good 🙂. Enjoy graduation, have a good time. Paul
🤧bless you! Loved the shot watching you carry the seedlings to the car and then travelling in the back. Great video, taking note of what you are planting out. Enjoy your son's graduation time. Thanks again. 🙂
Hey Tony, I watch all your videos, i'm from down under Australia, love your plot and long length videos, miss Steves green side up videos as well. cheers.
Another brilliant video with all the Tony favourites: swearing at the weather, mullering the names of the veg and fondling/stroking/tickling a vegetable. Hope we get an update on your son's graduation - congratulations!
Hi Tony. Leeks some trim the roots some trim the tops some do both some do non of the aforementioned. It does not seam to make any difference. I do nothing myself just the odd one's roots to help them into the hole when required saving time.
I saw someone on instagram cut the roots of their leeks and did it last year to great effect. I think its ok to do if you can be bothered, but there is nowt wrong with just planting as they are too. I never saw a reason why the roots get trimmed either so not really sure what the benefit is. I have my fingers crossed for your Pak Choi to be in once piece when you get back, they look so beautiful I would hate for the pigeons or ruin them.
Mostly it's a convenience for the gardener. Maybe it also reduces a certain amount of stress (if any?) to the leeks that might be caused by trying to untangle the roots, if the seeds had been thickly sown either in-ground or in a starter pot or starter cell. Leeks are amazingly forgiving and quite resilient. I've cut leek roots when transplanting, and I've just dunked the root mass to wash off the soil and then worked to untangle those roots. Both methods have worked just fine, but I'd say trimming the roots makes for less wear and tear on this gardener.
Missed you daily blog Tony. Fingers crossed them there beds don’t get hammered by the Pigs. Anyway what were you saying about the Christmas butter beans ?you lost your thread at the sight of that glorious oak Choi!! 😂
There is two schools of thought on cutting leek roots. Cut them and they go into the dibbled hole better. Don’t cut them, as it is the end of the roots that take up water and nutrients. I only trim extra long straggly roots. The other issue was her dibber. To tapered. It does not make an ideal hole deep enough to blanch a long part of the stem. The dibber you used is ideal.

Congratulations to your son, you must be so proud. Enjoy the graduation.🎉
I've always cut the roots and a bit off the top of my leeks . Works well for me.
My grandfather used to wash and trim their beards lol of the leeks before transplanting that was 53 yrs ago and at 62, 😊I do the same
Congrats again for your son and enjoy the graduation. The plots looking lovely.
Can't remember who told me but I was always told to top and tail my leeks before planting and watering in the hole
Hi tony we always cut the leek roots works well, my grandad showed me and his leeks where always large and lots of white on them

You KNOW. If you don't net them, they will be gone
Another great vid Tony
Where do you get your netting from and what size are they.
Looks like you were rushing about Tony The Allotment is looking good.
Hi tony you doing okay just wondering how you’re not done a video for a bit
Missed you daily blog Tony. Fingers crossed them there beds don’t get hammered by the Pigs. Anyway what were you saying about the Christmas butter beans ?you lost your thread at the sight of that glorious oak Choi!! 😂
Where can I purchase BT of that size you use, Tony, please? Google search is taking me nowhere 🤔
Is the potty mouth garden club now finished ?
Aren't pak choi in the brassica family? Pigeons.
Tony man your clean shorts are dirty already 🤣🤣🤣. Enjoy the 👨🎓. Peace 🧚🏻♀️
You need a little wagon!
👍
Is the Potty Mouth Garden Club going to resume?
