Ahh shame about the sunflower 🌻 mine a few years back did the same blew over in the wind. For the first year you have done a bang up job, I’m glad you’re prepping for a new season ahead. Have a super week, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Was gutted it has survived worst winds not sure what has happened hopefully the other will still grow. Thank you hopefully next year will grow a lot more. Thanks
Ask your local tree surgeon for some wood chips. They're free! Tree surgeons usually have to pay to get rid of their wood chippings so they may be gratefully you want some. Keep going! I love watching your journey!
I will have a ask around thanks. I was getting some from a garden center but where they are keeping it is now covered in weeds 😭. Thank you for watching it means a lot
You should net your new cabbage mate, their are still plenty of butterflies about and they will eat them and lay eggs on them. The beds with black plastic on, take the plastic off once we get the colder weather, the frost etc will kill the weeds off, then put the plastic back over and that will keep the weeds right back. Slug collars or even bits of wide plastic pipe to act as a collar around your brassicas etc. I agree with @Plot_No13 ask a local tree surgeon for free woodchip as they have to pay to dump it, even your local council can arrange for woodchip to be dropped off. The new mic is working well . Waiting for the next video now mate.
Just ordered some netting for the cabbages now thanks. Al start pulling that plastic up when the weather drops need to do some work under it as well. Wondering if Gateshead council will be able to get me some wood chip then. Yea something is going to be needed for them slugs I seen loads when I was there. Thanks for the help hopefully get another video up next week
Just a tip, cut the top and bottom off vegetable tins and put them over your brassicas after you smear a line of vicks vaporub on the rim. NO insects will cross that barrier. From NZ. Pity about your sunflower too.
I just cut down a lot of blackberry bushes behind the fence of my property and the spicky stems are now the second line of defense in my beds against the slugs. You have to have a lot of that stuff and its a lot of work, but it really seems to be working. Happy gardening.
Great update loved it , your both doing ok aren't yous , you have your hands full though with those weeds lol easy for me to say from here , can I just ask you mention growing shallots presumably for over winter or not ? , anyway keep up the good work and hopefully you will fly past 1000 subscribers very soon 👍
We are getting there aren't we. Need to get some more wood chip down for them weeds . Yes we are growing shallots sure the ones I ordered were for over wintering. Thank you for watching

Thanks for that I would have never thought of that. If I was an insect I wouldn't want to go near vaporub either thanks you
Hi I water through pipes keeping the ground as dry as possible helps with slugs as always happy gardening Richardx
Thanks I have seen people done the but to make the roots grow deepers and stop water loss never thought it would stop the slugs thanks

Thanks there is some dotted about the whole site will see if I can get some. Thought the slugs would just go around. Thanks I will
Nice video 📸 fella

I HIGHLY recommend slug collars.
Think I might have to invest in them thanks
'Garlic bread?!' I don't know if you're too young to know that from a sketch show? 😂
THAT'S THE FUTURE THAT IS. Love Peter Kay.
