- čas přidán 4. 07. 2024
- We have had more frosts than usual, and this is a chance to see the effects. Together with a few signs of spring.
I take you on the same path as two months ago, when we last visited my garden with its 1/3 acre / 1300m2 of no dig beds and paths. • Winter Tour of Ground ...
At least and thanks to no dig, there are a few weeds. All beds are ready for new sowings and plantings. We applied mulches last autumn and early winter, enough for the whole year.

01:01 Woodchip is of such variable quality, I advise on options you may find
01:39 There are no pH worries, if the woodchip is coniferous
01:55 Sieving 4 year old woodchip, nice results from 12mm / half inch holes
03:00 Broad beans wiped out by December -9C frost, had been sown October
03:28 Broad beans which survived frost from December sowing, then transplanted January with fleece on top and no hoops! Is good in cold.
04:24 Rye for grain, was transplanted before winter, is being grazed!
05:05 Mustard for green manure / cover crop, killed by frost is good, no need to dig it in!
05:42 Classic no dig with few weeds
05:49 Lilia spring onions are not winter hardy!
06:08 New no dig - 5cm woody compost and black plastic on top, for May planting of squash, trialling less compost
07:12 Broccoli Claret F1 50% killed by frost
07:58 No dig bed prep, a light raking, no more
08:52 Shop bought garlic planted October, not looking good compared to homesaved
09:24 New no dig on weedy pasture, with cardboard then 10cm compost, a little woodchip on card & path around, soil was frozen when we covered it, and that is fine
10:15 18 month old bed, clean edge and Winter Giant spinach, Wintergreen cabbage
11:07 In the shed, big beetroot and carrots good to eat; also for planting to grow seeds
11:58 Worm casts / compost in sacks, for potting and containers
12:32 Brussels sprouts' leaves eaten by pigeons but still cropping nicely
13:03 Swede / rutabaga massacred by frost
13:30 Spinach decimated by CMV cucumber mosaic virus, spring onions just ok!
14:20 Once a year no dig mulching 2-3cm new compost on beds
14:28 Same depth of woodchip on paths, makes nice soil for feeding plants in the beds
15:09 Spring cabbages mostly killed by the sever frost, are Durham Early
15:19 Garlic planted among mustard which is now dead, garlic may suffer rust
16:07 Winter compost heap has 45-50C warmth thanks to mowing old meadow stems

It takes a real humble person to give a tour of a "catalogue of disasters." Charles you are my mentor and a true inspiration to all gardeners. Kudos sir!
Agreed.
Go Gracefully. Charles said many more frost and unusual. I told him he is getting all my frosty weather from East Coast USA.
It helps to inspire others as nothing is ever perfect and this has been a tricky winter with plant losses.
Zone 6 Kentucky last year and it was a disaster. Many neighbors said the same thing. Fruit trees were very disappointing too.
Praying for a better year this year.
"a catalogue of disaster" - winter tour! I love this video and how a master gardener humbly admits to his lessons :)
I just love how you waste nothing.... you even stuff a tiny Brussel Sprout in your pocket for later. You are a true gardener. 😇
🏆 good luck
haha thanks!
So helpful to see your garden when it's not at it's peak. It does really give us newbies some hope, haha. I also really appreciate your laid back attitude towards growing vegetables. I often get myself too worked up worrying about not having an exact plan or getting behind on things. Watching your videos helps me recalibrate and relax a little!
So nice to see this Jason!
@@CharlesDowding1nodig btw regarding the spinach. Idk if you already tried it, but the New Zealander Spinach is a phenomenal plant. It produces a huge amount of tasty leaves. I really can recommend it.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one to have lost things like Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Cauliflowers & Celeriac due to the hard frosts - if the Great "CD" loses crops then there's still hope for the likes of me 😉
I love the way that you give confidence to growers to 'give things a try'! It is such a supportive statement. Additionally by underlining how little effort 'no dig' is, you highlight that 'giving things a try' is really not the big investment in time and energy that so many gardening 'experts' make it out to be. My thanks.
Nice to hear 💚
Indeed!
This man is such a kind and caring person, thank you Charles for sharing. Ps my better half brought me your recent book , I’m part way through and it’s brilliant. 🎉
How nice thanks 💚
I have had a bad summer in Central Australia, more rain than usual meant an explosion of every pest and I was so unprepared for them as I had never faced them in such numbers. But as you say, I learned a lot from it. I learn more from my failures than my successes. Thanks for another great video.
Sorry to hear that, hope you all have enough to eat. I feel sure it's engineered weather, happening a lot to you :( and I hope autumn goes better
Thank you so much for showing some discouraging beds. It really does give us hope when we are miles behind you on this no dig gardening. We need not give up because there are less than stellar attempts.
`Yes keep going! 🌱
13:11
high pitch voice: "THAT'S A SWEEED!!" 🤣😂😅
😂
Charles, you should get your local farmer with his tractor mower and cut the rest of that field off and build a mound in the field and then when it regrows think of all that extra compost you can make.
😀
Those disasters are so refreshing to see in times where people only share successes, that puts enormous pressure on those on the other side that are not familiar with reality. 2023 is the first season for me and the other day I realized how instead of joy that is was supposed to be i felt nothing more than anxiety from overwhelming expectations starting from setting beds, getting compost, planning plans, reading books about the topic in time, growing healthy things, keeping them alive when you are away, and even eating them all before it goes to waste. Unrealistic, I know and I now started working on my expectations :)) Thank you for sharing these fails!
Thank you for sharing that. I also start every spring with low expectations!
And don't believe everything you hear / read, some failures is normal.
70 year old gardener here and still learning. Plus we learn from our mistakes.
In started 2022 and had the same pressure! This year, I’m keeping expectations low and surprise myself with the results ❤ Still feeling some pressure though - my perfectionist brain just can’t help itself. But I have to say: it’s much better than at this time last year. Good luck for your gardening 😊👍
It’s because it’s been more humid Charles, tonnes of rainfall before the frosts causing expansion in the cells and extreme frost damage.
My Welsh Onions are still producing nicely even through the cold snaps, I live in a rural area just outside Glasgow
Always a pleasure to learn and be entertained with your updates. We have had to start again from scratch with some parts of our grounds, as our last polytunnel took flight in high winds in early winter down here in Cornwall.
So we have replaced, and made larger our polytunnel, with more emphasis with no dig on our outside space ( all through your simple no fuss advise)
This year will be the start of being able to sow, grow and harvest a year through plan to keep the natural soil growing cycle to produce amazing Vegetables.
Thanks again for your insightful updates.
Wonderful, grow well!
Got 3000 seed out to the greenhouse today and needed this after a hard but joyous day :) cheers! Hi from Sweden Charles
Wonderful job Damien
It's not just a colder winter, it's been a wet and damp one and that's what fungus and molds love, i've lost a lot of plants this winter....
Here David, that's actually not the case. The first half of December was bone dry and since mid January it's been dry, with only 16 mm rain in the that whole 7.5 week time. Compared to 190 mm between mid-December and mid-January.
WE’RE REALLY INTO CLASSIC NO DIG !!!!!!!! WAY MORE THAN POP-ROCK NO DIG OR JAZZ FUSION NO DIG !!!!!!!!!
🎶 yay!
Nice to see a bit of humility
I had a rough Winter with my garden, too. In Texas we had a Hard freeze that wiped out my beets and onions in December. And then we had an ice storm that lasted several days which wiped out the rest of my plants that I had put out for re planting In Early February. I set up my seed trays this weekend so hopefully I'll have something for the Spring. Today it hit 80ﾟF So hopefully the worst weather is behind us.
Sounds vv difficult! These fluctuations are hard for plants and I hope you are right!
Looks like we have more cold on the way here, after all
Thank you so much from Arizona, USA.
I am willing to bet that they have a very similar chipper. One keeps his blades sharp and the other doesn’t bother too much. Hence the difference!
That is so interesting. The guy making big chips has many employees, the small chip guy is a one man band!
For us, I think it's been the widely fluctuating temperatures. We went from 60 F to -2 F in the space of about 24 hours in December, and it was murder on the plants. It's been a pretty mild winter and I think the plants get soft in the warmer times and are less able to stand the cold then.
Yes, that is crazy fluctuation!
Yes, just this past Friday it was 60 degrees F at 6am. By 6pm it was a mere 30 degree F and 20knt gusts
Listening to Charles talk about his weather conditions is always entertaining. I enjoy the videos and there are some great ideas, but I often wonder how he would handle a more severe continental climate like the one I "enjoy" in the central U.S.
My garden looks really sad too. But hopefully spring will start and make it better
Yay!
We have had temps down to single digits Farenheit and our kholrabi was left in the snow. We've harvested half since then and have half still growing!
Amazing!
Your frost losses are interesting. I lost 3 established shrubs including my 3ft rosemary after the 6" snowfall that soon dispersed. I'm inclined to think the sky geoengineering that can often be observed is a contributor. What ever it is they use to force ice nucleation must be landing on the leaves & soil & reacting in non-natural ways when the temperature drops below 0. My veg plot has cleared itself of all plants through something other than animal or bird pest as it is completely enclosed in netting. The garlic outside it is OK tho!
Yes all weird, I'm inclined to agree
I've ordered logs from the same company for a few years now. This year the bark burns extremely fast & hot with a lot of black smoke before they settle down. They are grown in Scandinavia. I was wondering the same sort of thing. It's like there is a 'coating' on the bark.
Thank you Charles, as always. Third time I’ve watched this one. So much useful information for a self taught novice like me, in my 3rd year as an allotmenteer. I’m enjoying reading your new book No Dig, so useful. Please don’t stop your free CZcams vids. I learn a lot from reading but nothing beats being shown visually how to do things and what they should look like. Always so comprehensive. Thank you Charles. Kind Regards Pat Joyce
Lovely comment, Pat! Thanks for your appreciation, it helps to keep me motivated!
The only time of the year my small plot looks anything like Charles'!
😂😂🌱
😆
My weekly treat! Never long enough.
I'm presently feasting on the last of my Tasmanian broad beans which regrew and gave another small harvest after I cut them off, and several varieties of no dig potatoes rummaged yesterday. I've lifted 3 x 20 litre buckets so far, only about 25 percent of my crop. The frequent frosts and predation of bad goats reduced uniformity and size somewhat, but plenty have thrived to feed me through the rest of the year.
I preserved many jars of broad beans in my pressure canner, and if anyone is interested, this process turns them from green to kidney bean red!
All sounds impressive Ruby, nice you are coping so well with the weather
Another brilliant video. So many great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! 😊
Here in BC, we had the same overwintering experience. For some reason, crops that are normally tough didn't do too well. I suspect lower than normal sugar levels.
Hey Charles, loving your CD 60s, thank you
Glad you like them Michelle!
Thank you Charles for showing all the mishaps you've had this winter,, it's good to see I'm not the only one having issues with the weather,,
I'm amazed with how you find the time to answer the couple of questions I asked last week with all the jobs you have to do each and every week, thanks again!
Just chucking ideas about Charles. I took off the poly and covered the frame of my poly tunnel doors with green windbreak mesh so the doors can be used normally for access but are are closed otherwise but well ventilated. Saves heaving frames around. I could half cover the doors with poly but haven’t found that necessary. Keeps out critters and larger insects and butterflies I am sure you have good reason to use the method that you showed. I wish I had the space to have a poly tunnel as large as yours-bliss!
Yes I am lucky and thanks for sharing that
Truly year round gardening! After having mulched with leaves in the fall six beds are covered here in Michigan USA. New to no till, no dig. Hoping to remove the mulched leaves and be able to rake bed even and take off. Of course weeding .... opening up the beds will be exciting. Thank you for the direction to a new method.
Sounds great Wayne
@@CharlesDowding1nodig Thank you Charles!
Thank you so much for sharing your failures as well as successes. It encourages me.
We chip wood on the farm with pto driven machine. It will take up to 8" material, but my point to make is that the coarseness of the chip is less about the size of the chipper unit, but more on how fast the material is run through the chipper and how sharp the blades are. The commercial tree people need to make the most of time, so they are likely to run the chipper @ a faster rate, which makes for larger coarser pieces.
Thank you for commenting Dave, and that's really helpful to know. It would never have occurred to me!
I have noticed over the years, that extra mineral support.. be it seaweed or azomite... really helps plants survive the extra hard cold spells.
It's a good point, but I feel increasingly now that we have new issues to cope with such as whatever falls out of the trails, which are suddenly so common in the skies
I always enjoy your garden tours, some how the fails still feel like a success, a learned success. This yr I'm doing my veg garden in blocks, trapped off the entire area. Also doing an area with potatoes in straw, I've forgotten her name, the gardener I believe was in Vermont. I watch a girl in Italy who had a pretty nice harvest, she mentioned her too.
Good luck! Here that can result in slugs. Glad you see the successes!
My direct sown broadbeans have suffered as well. Combo of much rain, with frost in between. My onions are fine: planted Stuttgarter Giants as set in early november for use as springonions/early onions.
Garlic looks great. Oddly though my supermarket bought hardnecks, generally look better than my seedstore bought softnecks.
Still have stored pumpkins
500 onion sprouts waiting to go in in 2-3 weeks.
All my 'new' (pre-winter) no dig beds look great, there is only one that has dandelions coming through, the rest virtually weed free
You are on it Ed!
@@CharlesDowding1nodig mainly thanks to you
We remember the rye!
🍞!
Wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼
Great tour. Thank you.
gosh, i wish i could get beet roots that big!
‼️ this year!
Thank you!
I don't feel so bad about losing my broad beans to the frost now I've seen even yours succumbed 😁
Loved this tour, little bit of everything 👍👍 thanks for showing us round!
Hi Charles, I finally got my first thousand subscribers so I can only imagine ever getting to 600 K👍
I hope you get to that goal soon🎉
We are expecting 80's to 90° this week and lots of 🌞
Happy Gardening, My Friend 💚🥦💚
Thanks Peggy! Sounds good temp and congratulations 💚
Thank you Charles. This was so useful and inspiring!
It's a good time to do some fencing, too. I put the first posts in the ground. Dear deer, no munching on cale here!
Although they are playing and they eat all they want outside the fence.
I had a couple of swede do that each year - they rot which smells awful! I've also had mice chew tunnels through them or hollow them out completely!
Harvested a huge swede last week and noticed a few baby slugs had very recently created a hidey-hole. When I was preparing, the few small areas around the slugs’ homes were definitely beginning to deteriorate. I cut them out and had plenty to utilise. However I reckon the whole root might not have held up in a week or two’s time. Not checked the other swedes yet as the remaining aren’t very big and probably won’t be harvested for food anyway. Perhaps slugs hatch during milder winter days….. My unharvested beetroots disintegrated weeks ago. 😂Combination of too lazy to harvest, the frost, and most definitely chomping critters I conceded defeat to years ago 😩 !We have lots of odd looking little amber or black coloured mice/voles. Some with short stubby tails, some long tails. Field mice? We’ve even spotted a multicoloured! Too tiny for rats. Not moles either cos we have them too. Creating sink holes under transplants! 🤦🏼♀️ Can’t ID them.
I always get so much from you, Charles, and what struck me among many other things this time was your never-ending curiosity. That and your enthusiasm are infectious and inspiring. I truly appreciate your knowledge and skills, along with experience and a willingness to keep experimenting and learning. We're right there with you. Here's to seeing the back of winter soon...there and here in the northeastern U.S..
That is so nice Karen! Appreciate knowing this 💚
I hope you are not suffering the cold which is plaguing W US.
@@CharlesDowding1nodig Thanks, Charles. Others certainly have it worse and increasing daylight helps. As does seeing your garden spaces. Gives me hope...as gardening always does.
Wonderful video as always. Loved the planning bit. 😊
Thank you so much. I learn something with every video.
Nice to hear
Your small garden is so encouraging
17:06 osmosis, the wood chips will pull the water from other things and make them dryer.
Helpful thanks
Well done**
One of the best YT-channels, and you should have millions of subscribers imo 💚
Thankyou!
Food for thought, thank you Mr Dowding 😁🌱☀️
This man is a great asset
Watching a few other allotments on you tube the devastation has been heartbreaking in the UK, i didn’t expect to see home acre to be the same. I am sure this has been as beneficial to others as videos on how to grow and prepare soil. Thank you for sharing the affect the unusual weather has had on even a very experienced grower.
Sorry to hear that! It's about more than the weather unfortunately. Hope all is well in your world
Advice about Hostas....don't buy the kind people exchange amongst eachother, get new and unique ones.
Thanks for sharing this great tour Charles especially the things that didn't go to plan. I've been subscribed for years and work from your books and am still learning every time I watch and listen to you on one of your videos. ❤
Awesome and nice to hear
Hi Charles, thank you for this no dig tour. Your honesty over the failures as well as the successes is very much appreciated, and you’re so right it’s all a learning process. On this beautiful sunny day, I followed your advice on saving space and compost to sow my first seeds. I did sow some tomotoes today which have gone on a heatmat indoors but will save the others to follow your advice. Also, just to say that both myself and my partner love your ‘No Dig’ book, its our ‘go to’ now. Thanks! Caroline
How nice thanks Caroline
Simply the best
😀
Thank you for the honesty of the tour. I need to cardboard and compost pretty quickly.
Glad it was helpful, go go!!
Wild rocket looks lovely 👍🏼
It’s because it’s not just the temp but the length of time at the colder temp. You can have a cold night drop down but the plants can withstand a couple of hours at that cold. It’s when it starts to get into longer lengths of time below freezing that the plants can’t really handle it.
I live in E TN and we got down to -11F with windchill (-11/12C) and that happened for a couple of days straight. It was -11F during the day. I almost lost all my plants. Even the dinosaur kale died. My strawberries, oregano, wild bergamot, thyme, garlic, and mint survived.
I think everything else I had died that I was hoping to overwinter. I lost all the onion, some garlic, chives, parsley, kale, cilantro, poppies, rosemary, lavender, sage.
It was just way too cold for way too long. I’m just glad some plants survived. I moved the container strawberries right next to the house to keep warm using the radiant heat and that seemed to help a lot. Wish I had done that with more of my plants.
I'm very sorry to read this, that you had such deep cold NTN. I'm praying that these episodes do not become more frequent!
really enjoyed that charles
Take the good with the bad. We done
I loved this video!
😎 thanks Sue
Very nice indeed Charles! Even the failures are success. My dad always said nothing ventured nothing gained. I have celery and onion seeds started now. I love growing plants. You have converted me to no dig also :). I have 3 gardens and two of them are now no dig. You da man!
That is so nice, thanks
Love this. I've been gardening for 20 years and something new fails every year. So many variables but it's all part of the fun. 😀
Cup half full!!! x
I like to say always overflowing 😁
ชอบมากๆๆๆๆค่ะ
Hi there, most of my cauliflower, Aalsmeer and 'All the year round' Cauli sown late summer has also really suffered from the cold and I've lost most of them. The Leamington cauli, however, sown in June, is looking really good, not lost a single one. Not cropped yet but looking promising, was very good last year too.
A nice tip, thanks David
Charles my theory on why we have had so much frost damage is that we had that unseasonal and brutally long cold spell in December and the plants hadn't a chance to build up a tolerance to colder nights. I'm only 6 miles from you but higher up and we literally went went from temperatures of around 18c to -10 or so over the course of a week.
Good point Andrew. We were 5-8C by day for the week before the first -6 frosts.There is more to it I feel
Your actions speak volumes in the garden walk abouts!! These visits to the garden are the best!! Thank you!!
Thanks Nancy 💚
I've started some of my seeds today. So looking forward to the newgrowing year.
❤ Everything is always wonderful! My deepest Thank You, Charles and his Team Working Together. All your work that we can see, all your courses, all your videos, explanations, tables, calendars, books are marvellous! One of the greatest pleasures I've felt and still have the opportunity to feel in my life. Feel completely grateful to Charles and his Team for this unique experience.
Thank you so much Miguel 💚
I live not too far from you Charles with an allotment in Street & had the exact same issues with my brassicas - I think it’s because it was warm and wet then freezing then warm and wet then freezing; rather than one or the other which is more typical. I think they can cope with a steady amount of weather of either freezing or wet/warmer but this winter has been all over the place in very short time spans! Hoping spring is a bit more steady so my seedlings don’t suffer too much🤞
Cheers Sarah - yes the fluctuations :(
Yes Sarah I agree.Its the fluctuating temperatures. I'm nearby also, a little closer to Bridgwater.
Thank you Charles and Homeaches. Your videos are invaluable, brilliant and very appreciated.
Thank you kindly 💚💚
Thank You so much!!! I’m grateful for you and your channel.
You are so welcome
Love the no dig book thank you
Thankyou, I am happy to hear that
Think normally after a frost we have nice sunny morning with the temperatures above zero so the plants recover but we have had a week or more with extreme night time temperatures and zero degrees during the day so the plants can’t recover
Thank you Charles.
Yes sir, plans can't change unless you have one. :)
😂 cheers Jamie :)
Strange enough, it is encouraging that you also have failures and not everything goes to plan. Because we 'simple homegardeners' know now that failure is not necessarily our fault and can even happen to Sir Charles. It helps us to not give up and carry on experimenting. This is nature! Each year another crop thrives or fails and yet there is always something to harvest.
💚
Thanks Charles for showing the good and the bad, I nearly chopped my purple sprouting broccoli it had got quite tall and no sign of cropping but two weeks on the purple shoot are starting to form the florets, it’s your , let’s see what happens approach that I find so inspiring and it has worked on many things in the past
😂 that is so good ‼️ Enjoy
I love the tours of the garden, especially at this time of year when you're getting ready to ramp up the planting etc. Last year I barely got anything from the garden due to lots of rain waterlogging my planting area, and my lack of planning for replacement plantings set me back totally.
This year I want to get back into the swing, I have my garlic from last year to plant on (about my only successful harvest from last year 😂) and potatoes to go in the ground in a couple of weeks or so.
Here's to a better year!
I echo that and wish you well
Thank you Charles for the update tour video, really reassures everyone when watching, that someone like your yourself also having failure's and not just seeing perfect veg. Love also what i would call the imperfect "PERFECT" compost. Have a great week!!!
I appreciate that Neil
The size of a man's chipper can be quite person, Our Charles...
O I so enjoy walking with you through your garden.
Always enthusiastic.
Thank you Charles.
Respect from Africa 🇿🇦
Congrats on reaching 600k!
Thanks so much Mike 😀
Fabulous as always, and an encouragement to us all Charles. Colder longer than normal here, but Spring is still on the way. Blessings from Oregon .
🌱 thanks
Hi neighbor. (Mid-Willamette Valley) I just discovered Mr. Dowding and really enjoy his style.
Thanks, I needed to see that it's not just my garden that has struggled with the cold this year and a few weird issues cropping up, and looking generally sad. Yes fingers crossed for some better weather, thanks again
Excellent tour Charles. I can't believe the size of those beets, mine only got to the size of cricket balls :)
Mr Charles, have you considered having some of the odd dead plants tested for chemical poisoning or anything like that... Chemtrails or residues from plants/trees that have been poisoned...?
Hope these problems are temporary ... I’ve had similar problems with plants I’ve never had problems with before... 😐
Thank You for sharing your wisdom with us 💝
Food for thought thanks
Such a beautiful garden and jammed packed with valuable information. Inspiring!
Love the video as always Charles. I lost all my broad beans too, but your admission of losing yours too, eased the pain.
Thanks. Later sowing seems best!
Thank you. I was in the garden today pruning and taking cuttings from my plum tree and grape vines. It's way too early to do much more than that here in Nova Scotia. We expect -17C Friday evening, but I feel it will be an early spring, which means early gardening. Cheers.
Wonderful optimism!
I have to start as well and didn’t do much yet. Thanks sir👍🏻
All the best and no rush!
