My first year on learning how to garden was happy with potato's, beetroot ,chard ,spring onions, ball carrots, marrowfat peas ,runner beans ,broad beans and sprouts and corn are lokking good too but tomatoes tomatoes are still all green (moneymaker and roma )some in the ground and pots dotted around my garden started most seeds January/February ,onion seeds came to nothing think they got slugged 😅 only have a small grow tent and trusty kitchen windowsill but here ive enjoyed every minute of it 😊might start looking to investing in a greenhouse or small polly tunnel for next year 🤞
All the tomatoes that are starting to show color you can pick. Lay them out stem side down and they will ripen at home. Still are vine ripened but they will be safer at home.
Just new to gardening. You’re chopping everything down and laying it on the beds. Do you leave the stuff to rot down and fertilise the beds. Really enjoy watching your videos. Thank You.
I feel like overall it wasn't a bad year for me, the exception is the tomatoes, they have just not had enough sun. Amazing brassicas, beans, onions, beetroot, spring onions and courgettes. In my polytunnel the cucumbers and chillies have been good, peppers and tomatoes just okay. I have been weeding, digging and mulching with homemade compost, ready for my onion seedlings, garlic and broad beans.
Woke up this morning, thinking about you, Tony. I redesigned (in my head) your allotment with a sitting bench, a table and chairs, and a comfy place for the pets to lie. Reducing the amount of actual labor while increasing open areas to rest the eye. Then I open youtube and you're there! Happy Sunday
No dig doesn't mean never-dig, imo. My soil is clay, suffers from compaction and gets a hard cap on it after winter, so I always have to break up the surface layer at least. Plus, when planting out, especially heavy feeders like toms or squash, to just have to dig a hole!
Hi Tony, love the way your camera moves around your plot. Lots of tidy up jobs done 😊 my hubby and I got a lot of tidy up jobs?done yesterday. As the?rain is?back with vengeance🌧🌧 great video. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Thanks for the beautiful ambient sounds of birds. To think you went all the way back for us, to sort out your sound. Who was in control of the drone footage, Tony, when it rose high in the air while you worked? That was interesting as well. I think I might try some sweetcorn next year. 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽 Thanks again.
Hey Tony good to see you physically active in the alotment again. I know what you mean about no dig. When I saw you talking about the pea bed failure and digging it over, I thought I haven’t seen you add any manure or compost to the beds in a while. I wonder if you should perhaps do this, this year. I know you put material on last year to suppress weeds but remember them ole beds have had a lot of rain in the last year so nutrients may be depleted. Anyway up to you Tony, just a thought. 😊❤
No dig required application of 2/3 inches of compost each year. Even for small beds for a whole allotment this is a huge amount of compost. If your making this (which is best) then it's a lot of work and if you buying it it is quite expensive. People under estimate this. The more compost the better and you should not have any problems.
Can i recommend an end of season review Tony. Id love to understand what worked for you and what didnt in terms of plant variety and products.
Please 😊
Sad to see things coming to a end at this time of year but there is always next year to look forward to
Great update Tony. I do love a good tidy day 😊

Dedication to the cause Tony!
Sweetcorn relish would be lovely
Hello Tony what type of sweetcorn did you plant and when did you first plant it

How'd you get the phone cords to stick into the rock wall?
I bought a Hori Hori last month. Worth every penny.
Brilliantly entertaining.

I cringed when you stuffed the row cover in, instead of folding up😅

Maybe the water bottle came from one of your volunteers 5hat helped you way back ?

What planters have you got the tomatoes in the poly tunnel in please?
I think they’re in quad grows
