I’ve been looking again at self sufficiency. This year the plan is to grow as much as possible in summer and then prep, bag, and freeze it. A chest freezer is like having a root cellar in the old days but it also preserves basil, courgettes, and all the summer stuff. And summers more fun for gardening in 😂Thanks for the channel 🙂
Thank you for sharing Ivan I’m actually loving growing more things in pots as you said being able to move them to suit weather changes is an excellent benefit. Have a fantastic week 🐝 safe
Thanks Ivan for the great information, hints and tips that will be of great value to alot of people in these mad times. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thank you, Ivan. I will be pulling up dazzling blue kale damaged by the white butterflies to move somewhere else after cleaning them up. If they don't survive the move, your idea of sowing more will help.
New Subscriber! Thank you for the vlog, really made me think, I've already got my 3rd lot of peas underway, cauli's around an inch tall, sown more lettuce and carrots this week! Looking forward to watching you back vlogs Cheers 😀
Hi Ivan great tips! And holy shi# I have jus subbed to your cooking channel! I completely forgot to, you got some good food too! Cauliflower and chicken curry sounds great! Good job you mentioned it!👍
Very informative and encouraging!👍I love to freeze and dehydrate our summer and fall produce that is extra. It give us delish good for us food throughout the winter.🙂 I also make powders to save on space in my pantry: tomato skins for tomato pasta, pasta sauce, pumpkin, citrus, greens for green powder, and more!👩🏾🍳
Do you know it's first time I've watched you , how good you are at explaining 👍 I've just got a community raised bed , the lottery gave how villagers a grant so we bought a plot of land as made 44 raised beds , a large Polly tunnel room for fruit trees and bee haves 👍👊 so thought right get on you tube and start learning so your the one I've choose, I've plant carrots beetroot, Pok Chor , cabbage broccoli, white turnip, lettuce, this year is about learning what grows , I'm doing a journal so I remember things I've grown and how they did , is there any tips you can give me to fed the soul ? Great vlog I'll diffo fellow you thank 👍👊
Thanks Ivan, for the update will definitely sow more beetroot,peas and lettuce. Do you know of a cucumber, I can grow outside, the type that the kids have in their snack box. Thanks for sharing.
Just got an allotment, I'm just wondering if you have a pdf for your monthly sowing guide my partner will be following you videos after stripping and preparing the ground. Be handy if there was a pdf, he has alot of knowledge hasnt done anything in this large of a scale, so trying to reduce failure, so lots of research. If not he will follow your monthly sowing guide on here. I'd be happy to make a donation for this. Thank you and you got a subscriber.

Nothing wrong with growing carrots in containers, done it.

My lettuce 🥬 does not grow like lettuce you get in the store. It has a stem and then leaves. Do you know why this happens?
it may be leaf lettuce not heart lettuce thats a cut and come again type so harvest the outer leaves and let it grow on
for a hearting lettuce try iceberg or saladin
thank you
