My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence. For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I'm not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!
Just because all my resources are 'free of charge', to everyone, doesn't mean they aren't good quality. My objective is to make sure that there's no need to be rich to get access to great gardening information. I do however have a lot of costs to cover and my time is valuable to me, so please consider supporting me at www.buymeacoffee.com/steveric...
Your harvests always amaze me, Steve. We have enjoyed good sized cauliflower and broccoli, some carrots, lovely Charlotte potatoes and plenty of kale this week, as well as the usual lettuce and salad onions. However, everything is producing much later than yours, even though sowed similar times. Our garden has quite a bit of shade so may well be the reason. That and seedlings didn't do well in the compost I used this year. Courgettes only just appearing, cucumber plants tiny and strawberries yet to ripen, but overall pleased with progress. I get so inspired by what you are doing and it prompts me to get on with sowing successions or plan every time I see one of your videos. When plants are busy producing harvests it's easy to relax and let it happen. You help me to remember to be one or even 2 steps ahead! Thanks Steve!😁Hope all the building work is going well. Best wishes, Justine
Hi Justine, I bet you're pleased with that harvest! Few people on my allotment site have that range of produce. The inside of the house will probably be finished this week, but the outside will be weeks yet. I'm not sure about why your harvests are later, but my use of grow lights, a heated greenhouse and planting out under plastic, all make a difference, that gives me 4-8 weeks of extra harvest in spring, which pays for everything : All the best - Steve
Yes, very pleased with my latest harvest, thanks, but I haven't kept up with the successions so much for the past month or so, which means my lettuces are going to seed and it probably won't be long until the next succession I did will be following them, so I had better get some growing to catch up! I've just been reading more detail about your building work in your newsletter. Sounds a good plan to get it all done now. Thanks for reminder about the BT spray being a dry weather spray. Obvious, when I think about it, but may not have thought to check weather. BT spray at the ready. Daily inspections. Hope your cold goes away soon. Justine
Wow that is certainly something to aim for !
GORGEOUS
Wow! That’s an amazing harvest!
I love the cute calendar!
Thanks, we started putting that on the table because people didn't believe the harvest dates : All the best - Steve
@@SteveRichards good idea!
Awesome harvest, descriptions and salad display.
Thanks Susie, although it’s not intended to be a ‘display’, we just lay it out like that because it makes packing up weekly food boxes for the kids easier : all the best - Steve
Impressive as always Steve - I am starting to harvest now on my plot 87b - Hope to see you on the plot soon.😊
Great news Jane! I've actually been on my plot most days this week as I've been full of cold and not fit for anything else, might even go today too : All the best - Steve
Great harvest, Steve. Maybe my march sown calabreses are ok. I thought they were heading up too early, but i see youre are harvested. I just didnt think the plants were big enough yet compared to the overwintered ones in the polytunnel, which were massive.
The guy at the garden centre gave me a jazzy seed potato to try. He was saying he grew them last year and they gave loads of potatoes. He neglected to say they were small though. Im now glad i didnt sacrifice planting a charlotte to plant the jazzy.
My red profusion are still not ripe. Plenty of ripe tumblers though. All the best - Alison.
Ah yes, over wintered plants are huge, because of the low light levels, but summer flowering brassicas can be 1/3 of the size and still give a good harvest
@@SteveRichards ah OK, thats good to know. I was gutted when I saw the heads coming, but looks like it'll be ok. It's the first year ive got my timings nearly right (planted over wintered 2 weeks later and march sown a week later than you) so nothing previous to compare to.
Thanks! All the best - Alison.
My Charlotte potatoes are the best I've ever had really nice size and plenty of them hope U have the same sucess
Here's hoping, but mine are growing in shade so I'm not that hopeful : All the best - Steve
@@SteveRichards to be fair mine where mostly shaded. So should be ok.
Hello RUSSIA
Harvest good 👍👍👍👍👍
