Great video! I would say plant the brassica bed if you have the room for it.

Thank you ☺️ yea I think maybe I can squeeze a basic bed if I hold fire on the courgettes 🤔

Thanks for watching guys ❤

Oh come on why no half naked roofers 😂😂 oh right a gardening channel 🤦🏼‍♀️. Lovely to see sunshine for a change Arran. Wow what cute apple babies, my cucamelons look floppy too but hopefully they do well. If you have room tuck them away in a corner spot. Lots growing Arran and you have foot some amazing crops on the way. We did not get to see the lights 😢. Have an amazing weekend Arran, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

Cheers mate wasn’t sure where to put them so dotted them around I actually prefer having them draped over the edge of someone coming down than having them climb because they seem a little unruly so far haha

👍enjoyed it

Hi Arran, it's good to see the polytunnel filling up. I have been experimenting with taking side shoots from February sown tomato plants and so far had 100% success. This might be one way of getting reliable plants, but also because if you like to grow a lot of a particular type the seeds that are expensive (for an allotment situation maybe) this could be a way to save a bit on seeds. I like to grow Sungold F1 which are normally almost £5 (though last year I bought some on special offer at T&M for 99p) and you only get 8 seeds in a packet. I am going to try and overwinter a few of the different varieties I have grown this year, mainly for amusement and something to aim for towards next year, when I will put the plants into an area of warmth and light to stimulate them out of dormancy. I know some people do this with tiny tomatoes or the Red Robin type and grow them all year indoors with a decorative grow light heated propagator setup. I couldn't afford the expense of the purpose made grow lights, so I ordered some low-profile downlights with the right lighting qualities (just under £30 for 6), and I set them up on a length of white plastic and use them over one of those 7 cell tray window propagators you can get on Amazon, and it worked better than others I have seen, with some tomato seedlings that germinated and grew stocky and strong. There's always something interesting to try in this game. Thanks for the video. X

Thanks for watching jimmy really appreciate your ongoing support 😁 I did the cutting idea with one of the beef steak Tomato plants and I must admit it was a very strong plant once it got going. I may join you and try the over winter method definitely would save some time and money in the new year. Cheers bud 👍🏼 great suggestions as always.

I'd recommend some small cabbages" greyhound" or " primo" for coleslaw .You could start off calabrese in pots and plant up when the garlic come out .

Yea man that’s how most plants make vegetables and fruit they create flowers that insects pollinate which then grows the fruit that’s why beens are such a big deal to our food supply. And yea I have to leave the door open in the day or it gets over 40 😓

Hi arran love the videos if you take your side shoots off put them in a pot you will get free plants later in the summer

I will definitely sow them later than I did this year as it was hard work looking after them till now. Started these in February indoors with lights and a heat Mat the moved them to the greenhouse with a heater. These pros and cons although it is exciting to have so much on the go so early leave me more time to start other things now

Yeah that was me with Sidus Roadus. It must be an I risk thing. 😂
