July Walking Garden Tour! (Finally some warmth again!)
In this garden tour i give you a walk around the whole vegetable garden in the month of July. It has been a strange year for us gardeners with all this cloud and rain it has been a very unpredictable. We are now finally getting some warm weather and hopefully that persists so that the tomatoes ripen on the vines. I hope that if you have stuck with it this year you reap the rewards from your garden and have a great harvest! :)

To think that the most small seeds could grow into something so substantial is just amazing! If you liked this video maybe you would like to see whats growing in the garden?

We Got Bees! Moving The Bees From Nucleus to Hive
zhlédnutí 110Před 2 měsíci
We have wanted to keep bees now for over a year and we finally did it and what an interesting and daunting experience it has been so far. I took the frames that are full of bees and put them in the hive, we had to wait a few days to do this as the weather ideally have to be warm to transfer bees. If you have any advice with beekeeping please feel free to let us know in the comments thanks! #bee...
A Full Tour Of The Vegetable Garden in April!
zhlédnutí 77Před 3 měsíci
April is a time that can be deceiving as you can till get frosts but you really want to get those warm crops in the ground! Well the best advice i can give you is to keep them inside or undercover where you know they will be safe until all frosts have passed. Most places after mid May should be pretty frost free here in England. If you like this video take a look at this one were i make Bio cha...

Showing You Around The Garden In March! (New Big Patch)
zhlédnutí 69Před 4 měsíci
Growing for fun, for self sufficiency or to save money? This channel will cover it all! In this video i show you all around the garden and the growing areas. The aim is to give you ideas or inspire new gardeners to get out there and get there hands in the soil, so they can grow nutrient rich food. Hey this is my first video thanks for taking a look at it! If you like the video and would like to...
I would love your enormous garden even with the trees, I have a tiny garden veg patch but grow quite a bit. I think everyone's tomatoes are late in ripening this year. Your cat is a joy to watch. I have only just found your channel and have subscribed.
Ahh thanks so much for the lovely comment! Yes a bit of a bad year for tomatoes 🍅 would love a homegrown tomato I can’t wait to eat one haha! The cat in the video he turned up one day after being abandoned at our house! So we caught him and took him indoors and domesticated him. It was hard work but it is very rewarding 😀
Great video ! All looking good. I’ve just got my second allotment and I’m planning to get a similar polytunnel to yours. Is it 3m x 4m from outsunny?
It’s 3m x 6m I do believe we ordered it of eBay! So I’m not sure what make it was but the Polly tunnel with the individual vents in it rather than 2 big vents that go all the way along is a lot better! If you look in the video again you might be able to see what one I’m talking about. I wish you all the best with your growing! 😀🌱
Growing garlic for the 1st time. I pulled one out today. How long do you hang it for?
You can hang it for a month or 2 then plat them or just leave them hanging there and use when needed. Garlic is an excellent storing vegetable and will store for many months in the right conditions. Happy growing!
Hey any particular reason to store the garlic upside down?
Draw the moisture out of the necks of the garlic. You can also lay it in its side on a rack to do the same thing. Then after the necks of the garlic has dried you can then plat them and hang them in the house ready to use for months to come! 😀 don’t forget to save some tho to plant out next year! Happy growing
@@SelfSufficientCJ thank you that'll help a lot with storage
I wish I had a garden. I would love to grow my own fruit and veg. Until then, I will have to imagine my garden through your videos.
Ahhh hopefully one day you will be able to grow an abundance of vegetables! Don’t forget there is a lot of things that will grow in a container on a windowsill or a balcony. Replace them house plants with veg! Thanks for watching and I’m glad that you can enjoy the videos 🙂🌱
Its enough for one week for one person i belive. Nice harvest from small basket.. ao basically ot would be possible to grow potatoes all year around anywhere
main crops store better than first and second early's, so yes if you grew enough of them to see you through until you get to harvest your first and second early's yes sure is possible here with a bit of planning :) Happy gardening
What else do you grow?? Make more videos please 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sure will have to get on with some more videos! Just a very busy time at the moment. feel free to check out some of my garden tours i have uploaded. You will see everything that im growing there :)
Those will be good with some butter and a pinch of salt.
Ohh 100% I love eating them with a nice bit of butter as well! Thanks for watching :)
Would love more videos like this please
I agree 😊
will sure have to get on to some more videos soon! Especially when i start harvesting more things in the garden. Thanks for watching :)
You got a better harvest than I managed. Bloody ants got into mine and dug all through my potatoes 😂
There were actually ants in this bucket that i harvested in the video. I did say about it on camera but i could not fit all what i said in 60 seconds. Hopefully you will have some more luck next year. Saying that you still have time to plant first earlys if you do it before the end of this month, you should then be harvesting them in September. :) Happy growing
I never knew you tryed to be selfsufficent and grew chili peppers good job and good luck with harvisting seson
Thank you!
too* much lettuce. great video!
Thank you i have changed it now :)
Deer ensure , oh and woodpigeons , blackbirds , voles , hares ,badgers etc ensure i am lucky to get anything at all but as we are in an island of dreadful monoculture i say let them have it , i got a shop i can use ..creating the monoculture ..oh whatever . I've stopped using plastic(well not replacing what i have )as when they breakdown , esp fleece , i find the bits annoying . It does restrict me to a smaller glass house and i try and create S facing shelter beds to compensate . Lovely place you have . Good growing !! A great change for me was instead of using a 500w background heater to winter things over was to swap to a 400w led lamp, better heat application as its more like sunlight ,,and fresh herbs all winter and easy early starting tomatoes etc , in long freezes i have to put them all in house as cant afford 24hr heating . I like moles but often a row failure has a mole hole right underneath ! Watching a brand new mole hill form is quite magical .
Thanks for the comment! Yes gardening can be challenging with all the things nature throw at us but it sure is good fun. Happy gardening :)
Nice vid Cj
Thank you!!
I wish my allotment was this neat and tidy!!
Thank you for the kind comment! Happy gardening this year :)
