I'll say what I always tell the content makers I follow on YT, and that's you should do what you want with your channel. It's your time and effort put into creating stuff for us to enjoy, but you should also enjoy making it, or what's the point really? If you decide you want to mix up your schedule, and types of videos you create, go for it. I know I'll be here for whatever you end up choosing.
I agree with others encouraging you to create the content you want to create and what feels most relevant for what’s going on in your garden as opposed to being constrained by a strict topic regimen.
I always use pots for growing tomatoes and they grow really well. I have many different varieties and keep some indoors in the glasshouse and some are kept outdoors, so both ways are very successful.
Coucou
Excellente vidéo 😊

I feel so much better after watching this, I was feeling so behind and guilty about all my plants that I’ve not got round to putting in the ground yet!! Glad to see it’s not just me
So heartening to hear that so many are struggling this year. I thought it was me and somehow I had lost my touch. So disheartening. Germination has been so poor and really, really struggling with peat free compost. I am on my third sowing of sweetcorn. Really reluctant to put anything on the allotment as it is so wet, cold and choked with weeds which seem to spring up overnight! They say it is going to be warmer and drier next week. So fearful for my lovingly raised plants!
I feel exactly the same!!
I’ve struggled with germination and then weak seedlings this year 😔 then with those that have germinated and become seedlings many went straight to flower 😫 the ones that did well just got eaten by slugs 😆
I'm a beginner and I don't understand the peat free business, I've seen some videos where people use peat to help the plants but feel like they need to apologise or have done a dirty thing. Is it part of the climate change agenda?
Apart from a few nice days it’s been the worst spring for many years, cool , wet and windy, most people are way behind.
Hopefully a better summer.
It’s all coming along. The thing with gardening is that it teaches us that we all get there in the end. Sometimes we are ahead, sometimes we feel behind. Some things work, some don’t flourish. But there is always a harvest in the end, as long as we keep going.
By the way, I love your jumper. How cute is that bird?!
I've grown Black Beauty Tomatoes the last few years and they are beautiful and really delicious 😊 x
My plot is so new and still being built out and needing beds, I’m so glad to see someone else’s polytunnel still growing things that are desperate to be planted 😅.
As a side note, I’m very much an advocate for, it’s your channel to do as you want/need 🫶🏼 x
I'm in the same situation! Plants more than ready to go out but my garden is not sorted just yet 🥴
I love the variety of plants you have in your greenhouse. They are all looking really great. I often plant too many seeds and end up with a greenhouse full of seedlings with no space to plant them. 😄 This season I am determined to plant out all of my seedlings. I am nearly there, just beetroot left I think. 😊 Also, I know what you mean about putting pressure on yourself when it comes to creating content. I am slowly learning to go with the flow too, as a new content creator, and just creating videos that are fun and will hopefully help others in the garden. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks, Kelly 😊🌱🌻
Slugs have been horrific this year!
Hi,yes,it's been the same in France and Germany!!!!very wet and cold.....and I think slugs and snails can fly at night....most green babies get gobbled up in the mini green house.life is such a tragedy at times...let's hope for the sun to shine soon😅❤
I think they can fly, swim, dig holes and moonwalk too. Absolute disaster year!
💚💚💚I live in the south and all my plantings have already been done. Hurray. Now I’ll start with perennial flowers.💚💚💚
It is an odd year here in the Northwest of the US. End of May and we still have frost warnings! Garden is planted, so lots of covering plants and uncovering plants. Love your poly tunnel, messy or not! A place of productivity and life. 🙂
I'm in SE Wisconsin, USA and we also have had such a rainy spring. Loads and loads of rain! It has been warmer than usual for the last couple months though, which is nice.
My shallots have been attacked by by an army of slugs and snails. I went out a few nights and picked off dozens of them. The onions and garlic on either side were totally untouched. Now the shallots have all bolted which is another first for me and the onions are ok so far .
Always a treat to see what happening in your plot. I haven’t planted anything other than annals. Our weather seem go from rain, hot, cold,to rain again. We are excepting a beautiful rest of the week, so planting for us is on a small scale. Wishing you much success with your garden. Thanks for sharing with us. 👍❤️🙂
The season is a little bit behind. It was very hot in early spring. The plants were growing and then came frost so now they have to start all over again. Whatever video you put out whenever they come they will be appreciated 💕
Kevin from Michigan here, I too am having difficulty with my corn seedlings🌱, some i planted in trays and some I planted in the ground, the ones in the trays are 2 weeks old and nothing comes up ,and the ones I planted in the ground the (toads ) 🐸are eating the tops off ,so I had a bunch of Styrofoam cups I cut the bottoms off to make a little teepee to keep the toads away so will see how that works out 🙏🙏zucchini and summer squash are doing well and cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are doing fabulous, good luck with ten thousand tomatoes you are going to have pretty soon 😁😁😁snap peas and carrots and lettuce 👌👍and how are the fish doing ?still alive ? Anyway best wishes Katrina 👋👋
Hi Katrina, that's a very busy poly tunnel you have there! it's just coming into winter here in Australia, not a lot happening in the vegie garden, love your enthusiasm!
It's terrible here. Lots of snails and lots of rain. But I will continue and will not give up. greetings from the Netherlands.
Wow so many little seedling waiting for a home🌱🌱 looking amazing nice and green
I feel so fortunate to be on an allotment which is on sandy soil. It drains so easily! I have to work harder on my watering but I’ve been shocked at those allotment-lakes I’ve seen online!
I thought my sweet corn had not germinated, so bought some from a centre, guess what checked today, and my seed is showing. 😂
It's only my second season of growing and I think ignorance was on my side because I just planted stuff out at the usual months irrespective of the weather. I've struggled with slugs, but I've already had 4kg of salad, radish, early sprouting broccoli and spring onions. I've done a TON of resowing and replanting though because of the wet and the slugs. As I say I feel like either pure stubborness, luck, or just ignorance has been helpful to me here in my garden in Merseyside.
Nice to see an update Katrina, my dahlias are coming through, I left them all in but heavily mulched over them, my Cafe Au Lait is just popping up, it was a new tuber last year and wow what a flower head, I'm hoping its grown and this year I get more massive heads. Good luck with all of the tomatoes...Mine are still in 9cm pots! Going out this weekend... if it isn't wet again.🌧
The super hot chillies always take longer than their milder counterparts. I always try and get them as much light as possible. Find the bhut jolokia a bit poor on flavour when I've grown them. Tend to stick with the Trinidad moruga scorpion for the similar heat.
So pleased i have discovered you :)
Your a beautiful soul by the looks of it, great company for me thank you :)
I really enjoy your videos, real life gardening :D. My plot is coming along, I'm about an hour south of you and it's also been cold after all the wet, so the tender stuff hasn't moved at all. My onions are in but way behind. On the sweetcorn seeds, I've found they dont like it too wet or cold and turn to mush really easily, so indoors in early May tends to work best for me. I'm trying Black Beauty tomatoes too this year, they sound great! Happy gardening.
Hallo Katrina you the best te moostiun tunnel groeten te bloems thans te video good week 🌱👍⛅🌿🏵️💐🌰🍅🌶️🥔
It would be interesting to grow two of the same tomato variety, one in ground and one in a pot, for a side-by-side comparison.
Hello Katrina, nice video, you have uploaded of the gardening, well done.
For the first time I’ve brought tomato, pepper and chilli plants from a nursery because I have struggled so badly this year 😢 Since you mentioned it I now wonder if it is the compost, but some seedlings (mostly flower seedlings and one courgette…) have done fine 🤔
I’ve never struggled with slugs until this year either🙈 Your video has made me feel better though!
I’ve had terrible germination rates and then weak seedlings. Last year was my first ever gardening year and tomatoes, sunflowers and courgettes did so well, this year I’ve learned a lot more but they’ve done so badly. I’ve been re sowing and re sowing. I’d spent quite a lot on what I thought would be good compost this year too.
I’m going the gardeners world live show this year on the Saturday. Really looking forward to it as couldn’t go last year 😃
Hi, I grow my tomatoes in fabric pots, for vegetables etc, 10 gallon, outside they seem to grow really😀🌼
enjoyable vldeo katrina
Awh I love your jumper today! So cute 🐦
In answer to your first question: slugs are a major problem this year. Seriously damaged my emerging Dahlias whilst I was working away,however luckily I have just had a potting shed installed so rapidly moved them inside and they seem to have recovered.
Aside from that all is well.
I've invested in some snazzy Pelargoniums, but being plug plants I'm not convinced they'll amount to much this year.
Tomato wise I've cheated and bought 2 varieties from a nursery as the potting shed was delayed and I've been really busy with work. Interesting to see your growing Tigerella as it's one of my favorites. Looking forward to seeing your heritage varieties. I've a fondness for growing tomatoes.
Hello Home grown Garden I am Zulfiqar Ali Mughal a CZcamsr watching from Hyderabad City ( City of cool Breezes) Sindh Pakistan ❤
thankyou Katrina.......
So sorry ive watched your videos for a while now and not subscribed so doing it now Im a very new channel with small subbs I have been around allotments for 50 odd years very happy gardening Richardx
Looks like your going to be busy planting soon! That's also alot of tomatoes! My garden space is a lot smaller but I tend to go for 3 or 4 tomatoes and mine grew well this past southern hemisphere summer.
The weather has been quite odd. El Nino wasn't quite in full effect and was a bit broken this year making things cooler but much drier and with winter knocking on the door here, we don't normally get as many frosty mornings below -4C (24.5 degrees) but we've already had 4 days where it's been -6C (21 degrees) before "warming" up. So this years winter might be a bit more "brutal".
Would you be interested in doing an update on your ikea cabinet? Love your videos. They are very motivating.
It is somewhat reassuring that an expert is suffering their fair share of no-shows and underperforming plants!
So many of my tomatoes, chillies and beans have done absolutely nothing this year. Thankfully the pre-Xmas garlic and broad beans are doing well, along with the raspberry canes!
Glass Gem corn (75 plants this year) and monster pumpkin plants now in the ground.
Nice video
I love your allotment ❤
Its crazy this year for me in nottingham but I do whinge about the weather alot! Everything is so slow this year. Constant grey clouds no direct sunshine im growing alot of chillies and they need this! and they are in my house to at least get some warnth. My garlic has all gone thin and just hating thisnyear for some reason. Lettuces are lovely though. For some reason this year is the year of rhe radish for me. One self seeded and got into my home made compost. Every pot, plot and even in the greenhouse in between the tomatoes. But they taste great.
My Crimson Crush tomatoes are already 2ft high and thriving in the greenhouse, and the peppers, sown at the same time as the tomatoes, are about 3 inches high :( and struggling so far. New potatoes should be ready by the end of June. Runner beans are scrambling up their hazel poles whereas their climbing bean competitors don't know where the starting line is, and the apple trees look like they're going to have a spectacular year.
Your chilli plants look pretty good! Mine are really leafy but only two or three inches tall. Just slowly plodding along. I blame the cold
Lovely to see your polytunnel , l have much the same problems so l dont feel so bad. Onions are the bane of my life , find it hard to get them to grow , must try again now that the weather is getting better. .i have eggshells all over the place to deter the snails from eating my lettuce and hostas. Must try a garlic brew. Would like some tips on how to grow Onions successfully
Night scented stocks are lovely.... Well worth the effort Catrina😊
My seeds I’ve had to resow so cold this spring my veg are still in the greenhouse terrible weather rain rain 🌧️ lv Irene xx
Gracias 🙏🏻
my tomatoes are very slow i sow them in feb put them out in the tunnel three wks ago
I did not get a lot of sweetcorn from one pack of seeds only 4 plants come up I going to plats some sweetcorn in to the grand se if I do any butter
Hi, thanks for the new video. Now since you mentioned those onions, it looks like we all have that "one" crop. for instance I had a problem with carrots all the time. bad seed? not enough water? bad soil, too dense? I really don't know. but carrots don't seem to like me :D. Nice diverse selection of plants you got there as well. I really hope you don't get the same slug damage as we did. My Hokkaido squash bed was decimated by slugs.
I can grow yellow onions from seed just fine, but red onions just never seem to germinate, no matter the variety. I wonder why?
Agree!
Is it worth you getting some bags of farmyard manure for the polytunnel if the soil/earth isn't very good anymore. Just a thought 🤔 x
Have you tried cloth pots or substrate modifications like sand at the bottom(not that its good for young plants) Goodluck anyway. Thanks for sharing
Hello Katrina.... I now have my peonies in bloom...took a picture to send you but I find I can't on here don't know how else to show you. It's pale pink and has the most beautiful scent. Also, the first of my strawberry crop is colouring up. What do I need to watch for with my potato crop..? Gota coupleb of each type... Pentland javelin, Maris Pier, Charlotte, Desiree and King Edwards..
weather has been mince
Hallo katriena you te best te moostuin Tunnel groente Tour tuin thans te video Good week 👍🪴🌤🌱🌺💐🌿
Allotment Family Dairy is ook leuk Luc.. En Richard and Paul ook.,Allemaal over moestuin. 😊
I am really interesting on how the dahlias you left in the ground fared. You started to say something about lifting your dahlias in March, but didn't finish the sentence, was that lifting the them from the ground instead of leaving them in, because of all the rain?
I had to lift them because they were still all over the middle of the plot, taking up my main growing area. Now that the wedding flowers are finished I can focus this area more on veg and move the dahlia’s elsewhere.
For some reason youtube stopped showing me your new videos in recommendations despite being subbed for quite some time.
Red onions need a particular temperature to grow better.
Can you recommend a good variety of strawberry? 🍓
Have you found your zinnias to be very slow moving? Mine germinated but don’t seem to be doing much else!
I only sowed them about a week or two ago and they’re doing well! Need more sun to get them really going though
@@homegrowngarden crikey mine must be stunted then. They have just had seedlings leaves for a couple of weeks! Any ideas what I do?
22 minutes in a poly tunnel. How big is it
4x3m
You’ve so much work to do 😅
