    I've been growing veg for about 20 years but I've only started succession planting last year, as I always ended up with too many. The beauty of gardening is I'm always learning and improving, plus I rely on gardening to help my mental health. Love your videos, you have a lovely soothing, calming voice. Thank you.🙂👍

    Hi Liz, We got our Permaculture magazine delivered today, good for a wet day in Northamptonshire & what a nice surprise to see an article featuring yourself & Mr J. Your subscribers will go through the roof now. I subscribed to you, when you had under a 1,000 subscribers, so have been enjoying your journey for a while now. You are called Chicken Liz in our house, as I am rather a fan of TH-cam. It's a great learning engine. And well done to your friend Huw for getting on the front cover of the magazine. That boy is doing well. At my age everyone is getting younger, lol! Take care & well done. :)

Good for you, and *buon appetito!*

    Superb video Liz. So much information packed in a small amount of time. Great tips and so relaxing to watch. I have sowed some parsley and am the proud owner of one cucumber plant and 4 tomato plants and 4 lettuce plants . They are outside in tubs . In Cyprus we shouldn't get a frost but we have had driving rain and wind. There was a forcast of hail in upper regions a few days ago but I heard nothing more about it .Troodos is still quite cold but we are around 22 centigrade as I write at 6 PM. My petunias are looking great and I even managed to over winter one hanging basket of petunias even though it was neglected while I was 2 months in Wales. Cyprus has only had 20 deaths from covid 19 . This is less than they normally get from flu and pneumonia so although it is 20 too many I feel we are in a good position here for Spyros . I suppose only time will tell. It looks as if Rhondda Cynnon Taff and Newport has been hit very hard. I am glad we left when we did. Wishing you and Mr J good health and thanks so much for sharing xxxx Margaret

    • @LizZorab
      @LizZorab  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Margaret, I'm glad to read that you are both safe and well. I think the figures for Newport and RCT only look so bad as any patients are being sent to the Gwent hospital as that's the designated hospital for the region - and I guess it's a pretty densely populated area. We are both very well thanks, Mr J is tired as he is working extra hours to help out during this period. I'll be glad when he goes back to just 4 days a week and we get to spend more time together again.

Julienne some carrots, cucumber and mooli - mix with rice wine, rice vinegar, salt and a little sugar. Leave it in the liquid and it makes a really punchy refreshing pickle to be enjoyed.

Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge. All the best...

    • @kerryl4031
      @kerryl4031 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I lost count! All the squashes germinated! Uchiki Kuri was a very late starter. One pot I decided wasn't going to germinate so stopped watering. Saw 2 green leaves appear some 3 weeks later! It was watered immediately and is now on the dining room table with 2 more leaves in 2 days! Making up for lost time! The others have been potted up in the greenhouse and looking more happy - very tardy potting on, so the new leaves are much better shade of green! They are sitting where the peppers will be going - squashes going out after this cold snap to harden off. Must take photos! Haven't uploaded videos since last year! I have taken them though! Will pop the photo on FB later on! Just tried chitting soya beans - have just popped them in compost - an interesting exercise.

      I've never measured the temperature of the soil in May. in 2019 it was very cold for the whole month of May, while 2018 we were in a heatwave during May - this is why I stress that people need to adjust the sowing times according to their area!

    Thank you! I always have a hard time choosing what to saw because I dont have much space and or seeds. I dont like losing seedlings or complete plants because of the temperature changes.
    Do you have a gardening diary? How do you keep track of your crops?

      Hello, thanks for dropping by. Yes I keep a gardening journal which I note down sowing dates, any germination issues etc. I also make notes if we particularly like a specific variety and more importantly the things we don't like, so that I don't grow them again. The whole process is helped by having a visual record in the videos.

    Hiya love the video's. Was thinking of starting a small garden a meter wide and 4 meters long. I live in Scotland central belt what would you recommend to grow for my first time. It will be a raised bed

      shaunkissane with 4 square meters, and good succession and inter planting, you should be able to produce over 50kg of produce per year.

      My first year for melons was last year, I provided a string for it to climb up in the polytunnel. I think I was supposed to pinch the tip out when it got to 4 or 5 flowers, but I don't think it ever got that far!

      Beets refer to the root of the beetroot plant as opposed to just the leaves. Some varieties don't produce very large roots but do produce lots of lovely leaves.

    Hi Liz, I was fascinated to see you are growing runner beans as perennials. Do you think the yield is the same as growing then as an annual? Fancy doing a trial?

    • @LizZorab
      @LizZorab  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm pretty sure that the perennials have a higher yield per plant because each year they are coming back stronger and putting out more shoots. A new plant produces on one main stem while the perennials were putting up 3 -5 stems last year and who knows how many this year!
