An Epic week of gardening!
Ойын-сауық
In todays episode, I tackle so many jobs.. I also show you how to recover a green blowaway polytunnel with a new first tunnels thermal cover. Onto your existing frame..by strengthening the frame & fitting the cover tight. It should last you years and years!
In today's episode, I also show you how to support the asparagus ferns. How to Waterproof a whiskey barrel, turning it into a fully functional water feature, watering can trough, water catchment container & an overall piece of beauty in the garden. I show you around the Fig and Olive plot. Giving you a plot tour in may. The potatoes and runnerbeans are shooting out of the soil now. In the no dig beds, the charlotte potatoes have surfaced. We also had issues with no water. So I had to run hosepipes from one side of the site to the other to fill up some barrels. Otherwise, disaster would occur when no plants can be watered.
I also tell you all about the spring gardening show at malvern. Where I caught up with all my fellow youtubers and some lovely viewers!
90% of my dibbers were given out, too. I hope you all use them well.

I return back to the plot after recovering the polytunnel to a pile of jobs, including how to deadhead tulips and why. I also discussed my tin bath purchase at malvern from the lovely katie!

I then returned home to fill up the vegtrug that were given to the channel by quickcrop.

Thank you again, Quickcrop, for the trug!
I shall feature the trug in future videos, planting up through the seasons.. This is the perfect growing space if you have a disability, small children or pets you want kept out of it. Also perfect if you have issues bending down. Here's to an abundant growing season.

You have such a great community of gardeners. Here, not a one nearby so thanks for sharing. Yesterday it was so hot here in Wisconsin, US-94F, 34.44C the plants were transpiring and we haven’t had decent rain. Our normal highs should be 70s. We are still in drought and they say we improved but I don’t see it. Just like last year it started with rain then severe drought hit. Monday and Tuesday are alert days for severe storms and I think i need to wait to get the rest of tomatoes in, but they really can’t wait. Trying to keep everything watered yesterday I almost lost them. I planted out the earliest I’ve ever planted this year. The extra warm winter allowed several plants to survive that wouldn’t normally. I had first ever successfully grown bak choi by using low tunnel with frost cloth and plastic at times to start. I have broccoli forming already 👏🏼 Moles-strange enough we have not had moles for years since we used Milky Spore. Last year I had them and first siting ever in my life of voles-very bad I found out and hope we got rid of them. The mole returned this year 😡 so we must still have grubs. Thanks for all the hard work you and others do to put out videos.

@@TheGrowUpChannel Milky Spore is a bacteria that kills for sure Japanese beetles and then the bacteria grows from the host. It comes in powder or granular and the effect lasts for 10-15 years. I think they say to apply the initial application spring, summer and fall, but I know I didn’t apply 3 times-maybe once. It has probably been at least 10 years and we haven’t had moles there since. It is not cheap, but it works for years. I just applied it to spots in the garden and will need to hit a few more. We had a terrible time before as it wasn’t just moles rutting up the lawn, but skunks and possibly possums and raccoons. It used to be a mess and only islands of grass.

I bought two vegtrugs from quickcrop ireland in 2022. While the concept is good, mine are both stacked in a corner, unused. The first problem that I found was the huge amount of compost needed to fill them because of the shape. The other problem that I had was slugs. The buggers managed to climb up and took residence under the lining. Sadly, they didn't work for me.

I looked at the price for the trug, is a decent price. Unfortunately I am way out of their delivery zone, literally the other side of the world. I like that design. Spring/early summer always brings out new challenges, new things to play around with. I put in leeks this year, slightly crowded in a large pot, but I like my leeks, so they need to perform. (Right, not likely 🙄) The prices for virtually ANY garden supplies, plants, tools is much lower than I can get. Seeds and scavenging for me.
