  • Lots of success this year , so far, at the allotment. But there are a couple of worrying things going on.

    Hi Fiona
    First and foremost a very big congratulations on reaching 1K subscribers, you deserve it.
    Great tour of the garden and like you say most things are looking 100% good.
    I suffer very bad Rust on my leeks and garlic, what you can do is remove the worst outer leaves on both but you must burn them after you remove them.
    Now I only grow my garlic at home and I don't seem to get rust there and I grow Below Zero leeks as they supposed to be rust resistant.
    The man you need to talk to about your potatoes is Steve from Digwell Greenfingers
    Congrats again.
    👍👍👍👍👍

      Thanks Rob😊🎉. I’ve got leeks to go in soon and I was thinking about putting them in that same border. I didn’t realise leeks get rust too. I guess I’ll put them elsewhere just in case. . I’ve just pulled the garlic today. Half of it is rubbish and the other half not too bad at all so I’m relieved I’ve managed to get a crop out of it. Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine!

    Hi Fiona, congratulations on reaching 1k subscribers. Your plot is looking really good, especially the peas and beans. You'll need that ladder you use to get over the fence to the secret garden to harvest the peas and beans at the top of the plants

    • @fionagrows1848
      @fionagrows1848  Před rokem +1

      Thank you 😊🎉. I am quite proud of my peas and beans this year! But you can’t count your chickens before they hatch so I’d better wait and see if I get as good a crop as I hope for. One of the pea varieties apparently grows 10 feet tall….I really might need the ladder😩😂

    Congratulations on the 1K.
    It all looks very good (except a few potatoes), you are going to have a bumper harvest of broad beans and onions.
    Fingers crossed for the potatoes.

    • @fionagrows1848
      @fionagrows1848  Před rokem +1

      Thanks😊🎉. Someone has said my potatoes look like they’ve got bacterial wilt😩. Not sure what that is or what it means for the potatoes (I’ll be asking Google!) but I can’t complain when mostly everything else is doing well. 😊.

    Congratulations 🎉 getting to 1k subs is a great achievement and well deserved. Your plot looks amazing. I can’t grow onions for toffee. Mine are rubbish. Don’t know what could be affecting your potatoes. I hope it stops and the rest of your crop is ok. Have a great weekend. Mags

    • @fionagrows1848
      @fionagrows1848  Před rokem

      Thanks Mags.😊🎉. The peas and the onions are definitely giving me joy this year. I’ve always been rubbish at onions and I’ve done nothing differently this year🤷‍♀️. Maybe this will be your year for onions too! Have a great weekend!

    Nice going Fiona, congratulations. Crops look amazing, lots of potato problems this year. Not sure what it is. 1 of my sspc potatoes look like that but it’s in the same pot and it’s cut from 1 potato and the rest look great!🤔👍🏻🙏🤠

    • @fionagrows1848
      @fionagrows1848  Před rokem

      I’ve just pulled some of the germador garlic and it’s rubbish. Tiny bulbs and all split. I’m hoping the remaining ones in the ground are better as they appear to be a different variety (can’t remember what I planted now🤦‍♀️). It’s weird with the potatoes….just random stalks yellowing and wilting..fingers crossed and hope for the best! Hope your plot is coming on lovely 😊

      @fionagrows1848  Před rokem

      Thanks😊🎉. Bacterial wilt……😩. Sounds about right. Oh well, we’ll just have to see how they go. The peas are really starting to come into flower now so I’m getting excited to try the first mangetout! It won’t be long before we start getting a few harvests 😊. Have a great weekend.

      Thanks Tracey! It’s been so dry, hasn’t it! I gave everything a good watering yesterday but it seems like we’re in for at least a week of hot, dry weather. What we really need is sunny days and rainy nights😂

      @Fiona Grows I know that would be fantastic, the local farmer is selling us 1000 ltr 🤣 £5 ... it will save us borrowing barrels to the plot for sure. So il be able to water everything today. I'm super happy with my currents and yours is amazing too deffo good year for berries 👏👏

    Allium leaf minor has reached Yorkshire , & it’s moving north. Last year it reached Nottinghamshire. Watch out for next year. I’ll be netting next year, this year my onion crop was ruined by the little critters
