Hi Mark and buttercup never thought about them zip bags that's fantastic idea how long did have that compost in the bins will be starting my Tom's off next month always do and cucumber started some sprouts off on Saturday in propagator went to but them on window sil and dropped them on the floor had to start again never mind well mate bye for now stay safe.
Good afternoon Albert the compost has been in there for just over 12 months, My seed sowing is coming on a pace now, I think I'm up to 25 seed sowings And counting..
Them 2015 Britannia's was the last with a fixed mintage so i believe..The crowns were a Bargain you don't find them looking like that for the price i paid for them.....
Hi Mark, Always busy with the raised bed inspector by your side 😄That compost from the pile looks like good stuff. I tried the heat mats & one of those four pronged grow light for the first time this year in the greenhouse & up to now very fast results in germination on my tomato seeds, Just hope I can keep em going til they're big enough to pot on. I picked the mats/grow light up last year second hand off the ebay for a bargain. Thanks for the video mate.
What people seem to do is leave the lights and heat mats on after they've germinated, I used to turn the lights off and stick them in the green house in full sun with fleece covering them at night, But has you know i start mine off in zip lock bags in my little grow house inside one of the greenhouses...The only thing i worry about is the mice getting at them..😂😂Don't you just love Ebay I've got some great bargains off there over the years....
Hi Mark & lovely Buttercup ❤ good job on shifting all the compost from your bin. It looks good, healthy stuff, too. I like the water you water the seeds, then the compost on top too. Never thought of doing that 👍 I'm going to try your method. Your snowdrops will look gorgeous when they appear & the bees will love them. Lovely video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Good evening Christine we have finally got shut of all the compost in my next video we will get shut of the compost bin and much more...the brassicas i sowed last week will surprise you because they are starting to show..I added a clip of the snow drops to my next video ...Hope your well Regards Mark
Thanks again It was great to see how you get your seeds growing, I might try that this season. I have been just watering We have had very high temps 35-37 It is 27C at the moment with 37C later and I hope some rain with the change later Pam in Melbourne Australia.
Good evening Pam if your going to try the bags, I would keep them out of direct sunlight and add more water in the bottom of the bag other wise they will cook😂😂 The Temp here today was 17C and at the moment 13C You clearly don't need me to say keep warm😂😂But you can keep safe Regards Mark
Good afternoon Joy its a good way around filling you greenhouses up with lots of trays, The only problem is when you start to pot them on, But I do 12 for myself and give the rest away, If i was to pot them all up I would need 10 greenhouses to put them all in...😂😂
Good to catch up with you and Buttercup Mark!! Sorry its been sooo long!! I've been a bit sick!! But it seems I've got a few videos too catch up on!! LOL!!
Looking forward to seeing build the new compost bins. Too wet & cold to do owt here. Great coins again, do find some bargains. I’ve seen 1oz pure copper coins £10 each. What do you think ?
Good evening Sean we've cleared the space now for the compost bin and I have to say its been a nightmare doing at, The copper coins your talking about will never make you money I would buy a kilo of old copper penny's, They would cost you around the same money and you could get lucky and find a key date or a verity worth thousands...And copper is selling for around £6.50 a kilo so you wouldn't be losing any money because you can still sell the coins at 50p each....And you would get more than a hundred coins in a kilo... Stay safe Mate Regards Mark
You are like a well oiled machine, you are my diary,to start sowing,I generally follow you when seed sowing.
And so it begins 😊
Good evening David we are in full swing of the seed sowing, And them brassicas I sowed last week are already up....

Why don’t you just tip the wheel barrow in the bed and rake it,save a lot of hard work
Love the Britannias and crowns and some nice Olympics as well

I’ve tried the grow in the sealed bags last year after you showed it, and it works.xxx🐝🐝🐝

What a brilliant idea to use the zip lock bags as propagators.. definitely going to try it! Love your little helper too 😽!
It does cut down on space at the start of the growing season But you quickly get bogged down when you start potting them on...😂😂 With Regards Mark

@@AllotmentDiggers thanks Mark, I’ll save my money or buy silver & pre decimal
And this is why I don't like gardening hard work after a 40+ hour week 😂
I have to do something until the coin fairs are open😂😂
