They look amazing I bet they grow great Fiona great video as always have an amazing weekend yous two 😊👍🌸
Thank you Carl, I hope you’re right!😅. Have a great weekend too!😊
That’s a job well done. Fingers crossed they do well. You have certainly given them every chance. Look forward to seeing their progress. Happy gardening. Mags 🌻
So far so good, the rabbits haven’t been interested in them yet. Just hoping for a bit of rain now to settle them in. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
Hi Fiona the way your thick the hole put paper than wood chip i am sure it will grow better this year ❤
I’ve done the best I can with them so it’s fingers crossed now and hope for the best.😊
Good teamwork guys, shame about the rabbits eating the tree bark. Hopefully the others survive. Lots of lovely squash.🤠👍🏻💗🙏🤞🏼
It’s a surprise to me that the rabbits would do that. Seems like something deer do (no deer round here though). Never mind , at least we saved two of them and I’ll look out for bargain replacements at some point. Have a great weekend Nick.😊
@@fionagrows1848 could it be squirrels? I know they do it. 👍🏻🤠
@@nickthegardener.1120We actually don’t have squirrels round here. Literally one or two. But I’ve never seen any by the allotment.
@@fionagrows1848 must be the rabbits then, can Kenny shoot one with the crossbow 🤣rabbit stew!👍🏻🤠
@@nickthegardener.1120 He’s had the catapult up there but couldn’t spot one!😂
Absolute brilliant idea, our ground where we planted all those ghords last year wasnt well prepped or even looked after to be fair and look how many we got.
Iv also found (touch wood) last year they didnt get touched by rabbits.
I have meshd mine off this year because i really want the crops but eventually that will come off. Also i planted some without mesh and theyv not been touched so thays a good sign.
Plants look healthy enough so im confident for you. 😊
Yes, I remember your amazing load of squash. That’s encouraging. So far so good the rabbits haven’t touched them . I don’t think they must like them. They’ve been too busy nibbling all my French beans!😡. Good luck with yours!
@Fiona Grows thanks x I'm on putting my Brussels in at the moment .. well about to having a break 🙃
I think they will do great esp looking at ours last year and they were just left to do their thing watering once a week or when needed
Looks like the odds might be stacked against those squash what with the hard ground and the rabbits, it will be interesting to see how it works out 🤞🐰
So far the rabbits haven’t been interested in them , so far so good. The blighters are only interested in nibbling all my French beans. I thought our plot was rabbit proofed but caught one red handed hopping around inside the plot. Had to do some major reinforcement with wire in the noonday sun yesterday 😩🌞🥵
Hello Fiona that's a treak round to your secret garden then getting them over , but I think you going be surprised with the results as you given good mulch and they going to appreciate that.
I hope you’re right! Have a great week B &V 😊
The secret garden is coming on nicely. Shame about the rabbits getting at the fruit trees. Rabbits are one pest we don't have at the allotment so far. One squash of each plant would be a good harvest. Are they winter ones so that they keep all winter. We still have a couple of squashes in the summerhouse that have survived all winter and still look okay to use. The nettles on the walk to the secret garden look a bit deadly.
All the squash are winter squash so I’m hoping for a good haul to see us through the winter. That’s pretty amazing that you still have squash from last year. I couldn’t get mine to last much past February. We’ve rabbit proofed the allotment so they can’t get in, but either we’ve done a bad job of it or we’ve trapped one on the inside.😩. I spotted it hopping around over the beds this morning!
I think that, because that is Virgin sale, you will get a great harvest from that. I look forward to seeing that
Ooooo, I hope you’re right! Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching 😊
Ok Fiona I have to ask why don’t you put a gate in by the shed 😂. You had me in stitches doing the up down pass 👍. We have the same issue with rabbits and deer eating the bottoms of our trees so I had to move a few into my fenced area 🤦🏼♀️. Will they not eat the squash too? Hopefully you have some fantastic squash harvests. Have a great week, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦
It would be great to have a gate wouldn’t it! We’ve thought about it but the allotments and the fencing belong to the council so I’m sure they would not be happy if they ever discovered we had cut a hole in their fence😂. So far so good with the squash…..the rabbits don’t seem interested. They’re too busy finding ways into my allotment to eat my French beans 😡. Happy gardening!
@@fionagrows1848 suggest as a fire hazard due to global warming 😁 an extra exit would be beneficial 🤭🤭, so glad about that squash not so good about beans perhaps scatter some cyan pepper around the bottom leaves 🤷♀️
@@myrustygarden I’m hoping all the extra wire we have put up will stop them. But if they are still getting in then I’ll definitely be giving that a try. Good suggestion, thanks 😊
Actually the soil looks much better than what we have here. We have pure sand. That soil looks black and I'm sure with the chicken manure and the woodchips the squash will grow if the rabbits 🐰 don't eat it 🤔 There is so much growing there now compared to winter when they destroyed your fruit trees.
The soil is ok really, just a lot of weed competition. I think squash are heavy feeders so we’ll have to see how they do. So far so good the rabbits haven’t been interested but I have seen one in my allotment and he’s been eating my French beans!😡. Happy gardening!😊
Hope the squash do well and the rabbits don't get them. If it's any consolation I have a good recipie for rabbit stew should you need it.
Ha ha, thanks Jason! So far so good, the rabbits don’t seem interested. I’ll get back to you for that recipe if Kenny can improve his shot!😉
