My garden is mostly north facing. So everything on the north end gets a few hours of sun over lunch time, East facing fence gets the early morning ànd West facing the late afternoon. Still learning where to put what for best positions. Got kohlrabi growing both east and west facing in two opposite beds atm. Peas are getting the best of both I hope. It's like playing chess with the sun and shade.
Yes thats a pain but we have to make the best of it
Thanks lvan always great advice
Thank you too Tim
That’s good to know , I have raised beds that have varying degrees of sun through the day and by careful positioning I manage to grow quite a variety of vegetables, so anyone who’s just starting out growing vegetables will benefit from your advice and encouragement.❤️
Thank you Lynda
Everything is looking so good, you are going to get a good harvest Ivan .l really like your wood planters but iv got no room on my patio so Im buying another set of plastic stackable containers. They are working really well for me on my patio, & they only cost me £13. They hold 18 plants & there's time for me to do last sowing of mixed lettuce, corn salad, spring onions, beetroot, baby carrots & radish. We have been harvesting lettucesIfrom my other one for weeks and it's already paid for its self. iI does dry out quickly though, so have to water every day in this weather, but it's easy as its right by our back door. Home grown salads save such a lot of money, and bonus that they are all organic.
Great Job
Thank you Katie
That’s very helpful- i have this year realised how little sun my garden gets I swear that there is a black cloud permanently over it! My cauliflower doesn’t look good and my lettuce has succumbed to slugs- but yes my potatoes onions and peas are thriving- I will follow your advice on cauliflower because i just love this vegetable and am thrilled when it “blooms “. I container garden at the front because I have a rubbish tiny garden and am following you because well I’m not very good at it and will take any advice I can get which i very much appreciate.
Thank you Barbara and best of luck
Thanks Ivan, for this great update with some very relevant info'. I believe that we are going to get some rain and cooler temps up here in the north west in the morning but I don't know how you are going to be tomorrow. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Yes we have wind on the way back soon too
Thank you Stevie
Do you drill holes in the wash basins Ivan? I tried yesterday and the drill would not go through but spun around on the plastic 😂
I just used a wood bit in the drill it goes through easy
Thank you Susie
Do you use seawed fertilizer? If so, how often do you use it? Thanks
Hi yes i use it every 14 days
Thank you
Ivan, that was so very helpful; thank you.🌱👌❤
Thank you Jen
Thanks Ivan, as always we can rely on you for sound advice. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you too Sheila
I agree, lettuce will be fine in shade or semi-shaded areas without turning bitter. Strawberries seem to do ok in shaded areas too. Less fruit but they're fully formed and sweet. Cilantro is definitely better in semi-shaded areas, it bolts fast if the plants get a day or two of full, hot sun.
Flowers can be used to shade other plants that get sun or wind burned.
Every garden is different, but the plants can show us where they thrive or don't.
Good stuff Thank you
@@ninemoonplanet Is 'cilantro' what we call coriander? If so, I used to grow it, and flat-leaved parsley, when I lived in the Middle East. Even high temperatures didn't bother it too much as long as it had shade, but you are absolutely right that full hot sun will bring an end to its cropping very quickly indeed.
Thank you Ivan for this wonderful advice. 🙏
Thank you Irene
I find that broad beans are very successful in the fully-shaded area of my raised bed. It gets _no_ direct sun at all, but is nevertheless quite 'light'. Rhubarb is also very happy there. The rest of the raised bed is what I'd called semi, or lightly, shaded, and peas are flourishing, as are spuds.
Great stuff Thank you
Thanks for your guidance.
Thank you too
Good sense as always Ivan. And a useful reminder for me to sow some more lettuce, for when my current abundance suddenly all runs to seed! Isn't successional sowing hard in our British climate though? I tried one early sowing (failed germination), tried a second (failed again), tried a third then a fourth some weeks later - lo & behold they've all caught up and come together! 😖😂
Great stuff Thank you Anthony
Our heat dome has arrived...102F today. Each day going hotter. Shade for us is the only way to get any garden to survive. I'm heading out to cover my herb garden.
Wow brill
Thank you Connie
Thank you Ivan for the suggestions, like everyone I have a shady area that doesn’t get sun until late afternoon as the sun comes over and then sets at the front of the house. I will try these in bowls as you suggest, minimal compost and a good return as a harvest 👌💕
Thank you
Your pots & planters look so well Ivan. I think my new spuds are getting ready to harvest now, my lates how often should I be watering Ivan, thanks for sharing your lovely plants ..
Just water if leaves start to droop Thank you
@@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk Cheers Ivan ..
