Allotment Jobs For September - Allotment Gardening For Beginners UK
Welcome to our allotment jobs for September video from our allotment gardening for beginners UK series of CZcams videos.

If you are new to vegetable gardening or are growing vegetables as a beginner then join us for hints and tips each month to get ideas on how you can grow your own food in a back garden or start a new allotment in the UK. We look into what to grow and and what seeds to sow each month so you don't have to.

😂 we would love a little bit wet here, it’s 30c again today but much cooler than yesterday which was 36c 🫠. I’m revamping my brassica cage this week and it’s a big job. Great update as always I find it very informative. Have a super weekend, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
Hi Ali don't forget the pipes to water through stops slugs as always happy gardening Richardx
You’re welcome have a great weekend too Suzy
Lovely helpful vid.
You’re welcome ☺️ 🌱
Thanks for this great video, as a newbee to gardening it’s a great help. One question, how come you have the sunshine?
You’re welcome and the sun 🌞 comes and goes ☀️ / very wet 🌧️ and overcast today
A fox has been eating my corn [on the allotment]. Noticed a trampled corn and nibbled at end, also saw the culprit last night. So I picked all the cobs even though they're not quite ripe. Will be eating them later. Thanks for posting. I've subscribed.
Enjoy 😉 your corn 🌽 it can be a real battle getting to it before nature does! Thank you 🙏 for subscribing 😊
Love your matter of fact approach - thank you for sharing !
You’re welcome ☺️ 🐓
Fully agree with every tip you gave esp about growing something which you will actually like and use! And yeah it is definitely overwhelming at first and the urge to just go and plant everything is so great...a little bit of planning beforehand helps hugely! Fantastic advice
Thank you 🙏 for watching and glad my advice helps 😊
Just came across this video while looking for some inspiration, have to say it was very informative. Its nice when people explain things whilst going along for all of us who are amateurs here! I live in the North West and have a decent sized garden which gets amazing sunshine during the summer. I always try growing during the summer but have never done anything during autumn and winter so really could do with some info as to what would grow best. Bear in mind we get a lot of rain here in manchester😂 . Any ideas would be great, oh and lastly im loving the sunshine youre getting in this video❤❤❤
Glad you’re enjoying the videos / it’s all about helping people as much as I can so we can all grow some tasty fruit and vegetables/ brassicas, onions and garlic are particularly hardy during the colder months. Leeks are good too but too late to plant now. It’s all trial and error and I’m always learning too. Despite this year seeming more challenging at first I think I’m actually doing better so you never know just keep going and enjoy the journey 🌱 😊
I just came across your video today. I love it. I am an absolute beginner, live on the North East coast with a North facing garden but I am determined to grow what I can in my own garden and around my home boundaries. You are an inspiration. Thank you for uploading. I have subscribed. I will enjoy looking back at your videos and get cracking on my own plot. I have some light, a raised bed to use and lots of clay soil to break up to use in the borders. Have a lovely weekend.
Awesome 🤩 my allotment is very clay based / I’ve added lots of organic matter consisting of horse manure and compost from my composting bays over a number of years / good luck 🤞 with your plot 🌱
Excellent work I did some chois this week too 👍, and will do a few other green leafy 🥬 vegetables. Have a great weekend Ali 🥵☀️🇨🇦
Thank you for watching and hope your plot is doing well / we had some rain 🌧️ so hopefully 🤞 that will help my seeds to germinate
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
You’re welcome ☺️ hope your plot 🌱 is doing well
Thank you 😇👍
You’re welcome / hope your plot 🌱 is doing well
Can I ask you for advice my cabbages are huge they aren't going into a ball but the leaves are massive and not neat balls like yours any ideas Cauliflowers are doing the same
Hopefully they are just a bit behind so keep watered and feed / when I plant 🌱 I always firm brassicas in with my boots so the soil around the plant is firm which helps them produce the heart whatever that might be / hope that makes sense but hopefully 🤞 yours just need more time
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife thank you 🤗
I’ve just gone back through your videos to find this recipe, which I love, so maybe you could repost for the people like me with a lot of courgettes this year that might me new to your channel.
Will do / it is amazing 🤩/ thank you 🙏 for watching
I can hear chickens here. Do you still have chickens?
I’m in between chickens 🐓 at the moment as sadly Mr Fox 🦊 got them / we plan to get more but as we are moving soon we are waiting until then / I do really miss them they are so therapeutic
Thank you!,
You're welcome! 😊
Another great video and very informative. Thank you x
Thank you 🙏 for watching and glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Top harvest
Thank you 🙏 hope your harvests are good 🌱
Love the mini corn, mine has done really well this year and is still going. If you do let them run over and develop kernels you can dry these and use them for popcorn which is great and fresh.
Thank you for watching and for the tip 🌽
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you 🙏 for watching 🌱
Your plot and garden look great. My courgettes are growing like crazy too. We always grow the mini corn as the first two years we grew the large ones and they got eaten by deer, luckily nothing has got these small ones each year.
Thank you 🙏 We’ve found the same with mini corn 🌽 tempted to stick with it plus it’s tasty 😋
do you have video for winter setup? and especially what to when water frozen with cold.
It’s not much different except defrosting the water 💦 as our drinker is galvanised metal we can just pour boiling water over it / the alternative if it’s plastic is bring indoors at night
Hi. I see your rhubarb is still flourishing like mine. Have you stopped picking it or do you keep on picking while it is still growing?
I keep picking until it starts to flop over ready for autumn 🍂
My French beans have been growing like crazy this year And my runner beans are only just starting do something.
My runners are behind and just started to crop too just as my French beans are slowing down which is good timing / doesn’t always work out that way
I wish my corn was as happy as that, mine are stunted and pale, I think I will try feeding them with blood fish and bonemeal and see if that helps but I think it’s getting a bit late now for anything
Definitely worth giving them a feed
NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO YOUR CHANNEL
Awesome 🤩 welcome
My new top tips are to follow your tips next year and try and yield same fruit size and plant health - many thanks for info
Thank you for watching and hope my tips help 🍆
Gorgeous dress! ❤

Good morning friends 🌞 very nice sharing very nice information and very nice video 👍👍❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊😊 My dear friend 😊❤️😊
You’re welcome ☺️
are you from SE London/Kent border? The accent! Reminds me of home!!
Yes Kent
Interesting video, thank you. I notice some of your tomato plants, the leaves are curling up/inwards - some of mine are doing the same - is that something I need to fix/be worried about?
Usually just fluctuating temperatures and nothing to worry about 🍅
@@ThatsWhatWeCallTheGoodLife Thank you
29 like very nice sharing very nice video 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤ very nice information 👍😊 new friend 🎁👈
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you 😇
You're welcome 😊
That odd little pepper plant with the large pepper on it is just trying its best to focus on the fruit but if you over winter that plant on a window sill it'll be a great performer next summer.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you gorgeous the tips lovely garden
You are so welcome
I never get round to growing broccoli because I think it’s such a big plant, but actually in reality it’s not massive so I think next year broccoli is going to be on my growing plan in order to try and have some more brassica greens coming through the summer
Yes not much difference in size to a cabbage or cauliflower/ it’s purple sprouting broccoli that gets really tall but calabrese stays quite small
Do you have to cover compost piles?
At the allotment I don’t for my larger composting system but I do in the subpod / some people do cover composting piles / the one at the allotment I just keep digging from section to section
Thanks for the tips. It's always useful. The runner beans have benefitted from Olla pot watering...plenty on the internet...Also I save the strongest side shoots from the tomatoes, repot and they are growing. Second batch of toms? Mixing marigold flowers into the chicken food. The yokes are bright yellow! Started canning. Everything I dont eat 'today' gets canned. Plenty for the winter. Chooks are laying well. Taking loads of eggs to the local church kitchen. August is my favourite month. So productive.
Awesome 🤩 all sounds very productive and nice that others are benefiting from the glut too
Thanks for the tips. I have a tiny new apple tree which has all of 2 apples this year, bless it! I think they are ready to come off now. I've also tried broccoli this year which has grown well but I didn't eat all of it in time and some flowered. And I had a bumper crop of lettuce some of which bolted which is quite surprising to see for the first time! I need to keep on top of it more. Keep up the videos, it's really interesting to see how yours are getting on.
Thank you 🙏 we all have some plants 🌱 that don’t go quite to plan / just keep growing and learning 😊
Brilliant
Thank you 🙏 for watching 🌱
I can't ever get over you wearing a dresss do you not have issues with deer flys.. I'm so bad with them it swells like mad
We don’t get deer flies but we do have other bugs but I’m fine / I occasionally get bitten but think I must be used to it
New to growing my own, keep looking at chard. Could you tell me what it tastes like please.
Like spinach
Great video subd 🙌🏿👊🏿
Thank you 🙏 for watching
Thanks for the tips on what to grow for August, going to try carrots. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome 😉
I am considering of keeping chickens for eggs as well but I don't know what the Law say about that I don't want to buy them and after I'm having to send them away because of complaints from neighbours.
My neighbours were fine but you can always speak to them / in the uk 🇬🇧 we can keep chickens and can have so many but they now need to be registered / all depending where you live check / in the uk it’s the DEFRA website
My favourite tour so far. Lovely harvest. Your courgettes and squash are beautiful and your blackcurrants made my mouth water 😊
Glad you enjoyed the tour and yes blackcurrants are yummy 😋
We decided to get an allotment in Bath for the first time ever and happened to have this horrid weather. It is, however, doing extremely well and we harvested a lot so I can't wait to see how it does in a normal year! Thanks for the video very interesting
Glad it’s going well / every year is different and every year it’s worth it 🌱 it’s easy to get disheartened at times but if you hang in there it always pays off
Thankyou for the heads up about lunch box cucumber, i have put them on my shopping list for next year! Lovely to see your joy at pottering round the plot, you are like a kid in a sweetie shop😊😂
Thank you 🙏 yes I do love the allotment and I love vegetables 🥦 and fruit 🍎 in general whether it’s in the ground; cooking or even in a shop
Just had a nosy on your page just got my pullets last week talked to lots of farmers and vets family got permission in 2022 as always happy gardening Richardx
Awesome 🤩 good luck with them 🐓
What a great Presenter your are
Thank you 🙏 that’s very kind of you to say so : I do try to make it informative, fun 🤩 and interesting 🧐
Realy great video your plots are looking great have you noticed a lack of everything this year? Also great camera work good to see someone who knows what they're doing
Thank you 🙏 I have to give my husband credit for the camera 🎥 work / we use a go pro / my raspberries aren’t as good but I think that’s just mine and my tomatoes 🍅 are definitely a bit behind / I’m sure the tomatoes will catch up though / some things have actually done better / best strawberries I’ve ever had and my potatoes are much earlier which I think is down to the rain 🌧️/ the brocollis are also much better than last year as it was so dry / beetroot seems a bit behind but again I’m sure it will catch up
