Welcome to Seagull Gardening.
Join me on this exciting journey to reach self-sufficiency. I will be hopefully sharing some tips on the things I have learned over the years growing fruit and vegetables.
Along the way you will see some of my animal friends who are vital for this planet and our growing,
Whether you have a small, medium, or large size garden I encourage you to enjoy yourself and grow some fruit and vegetables which will benefit you and your family, your health, and wellbeing. We will also see the wonderful creation God has put before us.
So, let's enjoy the adventure together.

Cute ❤
Fantastic plaaahhhhhhhnt
i suppose i prefer the blue as it’s what i’ve been used to seeing over the years; you just get used to seeing a certain colour.
@@hx.b6963 I think the white ones are very rare?
big purple alliums
i don’t know where your location is, but we are in east anglia, UK & sometimes i see blue dragonflies & when they are in motion, their bodies shine a shimmering blue, so lovely.
@@hx.b6963 That's lovely, not seen blue ones yet. My videos are from the South West and South East ofEngland
How to care and feed it
@@loiniemosho1557 hi, I use a indoor bio feed. It likes fairly shady conditions.
Hi , And what is your pH of the Earth? I also grow in a pot in Russia😊
@@user-vj4rm9zv7y Hi , I have not measured it in this Pot. I try to aim between 6 - 6.5
@@user-vj4rm9zv7y what is your pH plz
@@seagullgardening I also do not measure PH. I just add pine bark and sour peat a little. Well, I see that the plant does not like something, so I am trying to understand Perhaps the problem is in the acidity. Sorry for the mistakes, my English is not very good😔
@@user-vj4rm9zv7y your typing is great. Adding pine will make the plant more acidic. I think it likes fairly neutral pH. This link will help you. www.rhs.org.uk/plants/18573/ugni-molinae/details
Beautiful🎉
Cool 👌
Super invasive but very tasty
How many plants is it?
@@Zzzbnmp Hi, Just one rose. If you Google Lady Bnaks Rose there is a hundred year old plus one in the USA it's massive
Where exactly is this tree located?
@@matthias999 Hi, this was in Essex. Do you know ?
@@seagullgardeningUnfortunately, not. I am trying to locate it in Google Maps.
Hi Seagull! I'm looking to grow fuchsias for fruit, in England. Which varieties would you recommend, please? Also, where do you buy them from? I'm struggling to find procumbens etc. I think coccinea is the standard hedging fuchsia, though? So it should be easy, but I can't get any fruit off it. They drop before they're ripe. I'd value your thoughts. Thanks!
@@sarahvegangarden4822 Hi Thanks for your message. The varieties I grow are Fuchsia riccartonii, fully hardy. I tired Fuchsia procumbens and Fuchsia Bolivians however they have been hard to adapt to UK weather. I have read all fuchsia are edible and I do enjoy eating some of the berries that develop. I typed those varieties online and they were sent through the post as plug plants :). Always be careful you are not allergic thou. It's a super plant. I hope that helps?
@@seagullgardening Many thanks! I've ordered boliviana and procumbens from Lockyer Fuchsias, so we'll see how they do. I'm very confused by fuchsias - is riccartonii the standard hedging one with single petal red outside and purple inside? Coccinea, riccartonii and magellanica all look the same, as far as I can tell! Also, Roualeyn Fuchsia Nursery suggested hardy 'Display' has large berries so I might try them too and see if the flavour's nice. I love berries so I fancy being experimental with my fuchsias! Thanks again for replying! All the best wirh your channel! 👍😊
@@sarahvegangarden4822 your welcome, thank you for all your information. I will post a new short video today to show you the one I am growing. This is Fuchsia magellanica riccartonii :) Let me know what you think.
You have to be careful with shopping for these greenhouses... One i had for years and years (even sitting out in zone 5 winter weather) was fantastic until a large tree branch fell on it. The second (replacement) was really bad.. The connectors were isht plastic and couldn't hold the weight of anything so it near-immediately started warping, then eventually collapsing. Plus, the cover only lasted one season... the clear plastic flaked off everwhere into my yard like glitter until it was just that green grid full of holes and no protection from the elements. I don't know if companies even tell you what plastic they use or to know what recommend to look for, but will definitely look into it before ever buying again! My first one actually had an extra shelf space up on the top level. I would lift the greenhouse onto cinder blocks and then use 8 half sheet pans (from a bakery, closed down) to sit on the shelves and extend out a little more than the existing shelves. Miss that one : )
@@xmobile. Hi Thanks for the info that's very helpful. I have had about 3 seasons our of this one and it's pretty much time for an upgrade :)
Blue because of the claret stem reminds me of my football team avfc
Hi
@@user-cc1qd3to5f Hi Buddy
This plant just started growing in my garden last summer and I was confused about it, thought it was a weed and didn't like how spiney and prickly it was. I was just about to have the landscaper remove it but i noticed berries this week and we ate them. Different from raspberry but still tasty so it's staying.
@@galicea02 that's great, what taste did you experience. Mine tasted a little milder than raspberries with a hint of watermelon.
are you growing it in a pot? these grow all over the east coast usa. picked some fruit days ago
@@raregrowsNJ I have started it in a large container. I have read they can spread quickly
@@seagullgardening they do, they are actually invasive here for that reason, the fruit is good! small but tasty
@@raregrowsNJ thanks, I will keep that in mind:)
What a nice little gift for you! Is that off a corkscrew Hazel? So would that mean that this seedling will be one as well?
Hi, yes it's off a Contorted Hazel, I think it may revert back to a standard Hazel. Any idea?
What!?! Why does that not hurt you? Raspberry thorns r the worst!
I find the smaller the cane the less spikey they are :)
Cool plant
Edible and stunning flower :)
Is this Korg?
Oxalis. Don’t eat raw

Brilliant and highly detailed video, Thank you! As a wood carver I'm always on the lookout for Alder and Lime. This video really has helped 😁
That's great :)
Kipper?!?
Its super easy to contro, if yiu know what ur doing
Im in awe at the size of this Lad, absolute unit!
Are those bamboo canes that were used to train the branches? I'm looking into doing the same to my potted golden delicious apple tree, but couldn't find any other video that doesn't have the tree tied to a fence or a wall!
Hi, it's a great question. You can use Bamboo canes for sure, it's always best to train the tree from a young age. Using a whip or maiden tree is best as you can control the lateral branches as it grows.
@@seagullgardening what's the distance between each level? I bought my baby apple tree from a supermarket and based on it's growth I would say it's one year old. All of its branches are very bendy still but I don't know what would be the optimal space between branches.
@@DiaryofaGreekMum this should help :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gZh4k5WxYtC4fZM.htmlsi=lSverozXG2JbsxXz
Ur a beast for handling it like lake like goshhhh dang
I want to buy one
mine is in a similar container, it's growing tall unlike yours, how do I trim it
They are beautiful 🌸 no wonder that the bees love them 🌸🐝🐝🐝👍
Possible to ship 1 to India ? Thanks
I can help send seeds :)
@@seagullgardening that will be great. Will seeds propagate properly ?
We have an infestation of these in Reno Nevada more this year than ever
What type of tree or shrub were they on please?
I’ve seen wasps come and eat those caterpillars
That's interesting, do the small bird family like the tits eat them?
@@seagullgardening I really haven’t heard of a tit bird but I’m sure they would eat them but the bird probably don’t want to get tangled in all that web
@@shaunmaloney2940 Sorry I meant, Bluetit, Great Tit.
Looking great mate :)
Thank you :)
Im not sure why my butternut squashes didnt grow. Jordan
Hi, what environment did you germinate them in please?
I am proud to say that 1.5 year ago I planted 5 conkers in pots in my garden, and they are now little trees growing very well. My idea is to donate them when they are bigger to local parks
That's such a lovely idea :) and well done for nursing those young plants
Love them! Beautiful tulips. Wonder if they are perennial in zone 4
I hope so, they are beautiful :)
Great variety of herbs 🌿 👍
Thanks, I heard that if you grow herbs fron the lamiaceae family they heal bees. Apparently a study was carried out that bees don't so much go for the nectar or pollen from the lamiaceae family of plants but to heal themselves :)
I am growing these for the first time on my allotment, and have just planted out 7 plants. Your video is really helpful in explaining how to harvest and dry the beans. 😊
I'm so pleased, you will love this Bean. Make sure you let the pods dry out before harvesting. Also, drying the beans is super important :)
Unintentional ASMR
Lol
Pretty and architectural until it starts to produce sea monster sized powerful runners that spread at a huge rate. It will make 30 ft + canes when mature. Always restrain it within a strong and deep impermeable barrier or it will go everywhere. The knob head next to me planted it next to our boundary and it is trying to take over our garden too. Easily broke its way through a large and dense hedge, I have to apply weedkiller every year after the hedge has dropped its leaves to try and fight it back.
Very good point, I keep mine contained
Wow, those figs are beautiful. Wish I have the room to grow one. My local Lowe’s has a dwarf variety that supposedly doesn’t get taller or wider than two feet, so maybe I could try growing that.
They really respond well in containers :)
@@seagullgardeningwhich size container or bag in your experience has given more yield that’s worth it? What varieties of sycamore (the fog mentioned in the Bible in saqueo’s story and that grows figs from the trunk) have you heard or tried that taste great?
@@xaviercruz4763 Hi, I found this for at a garden centre. I believe it was in a 50ltr container. I would gradually increase the size to 50Ltr. What part have you eaten from the Acer psuedoplatanus?
is that Fignomenal?
Those are new spores of an incredibly lethal zombie virus don’t breathe them in 😂
:o .... lol an early help for pollinators :)
Hi. What fertilizer do you use for your chilean guava? Can I use ericaceous liquid fertilizer?
Hi, I use a balanced compost of a ph level between 6.5 - 7 so standard if that makes sense. I have not used Ericacaeous. :)
@@seagullgardening Just compost, nothing else?
@@onebicycle3772 I do apologise I misread your original question, I thought you meant what compost. Feed wise I use organic seaweed feed in spring and then every month, not Ericacaeous feed, also top dress in Spring and Autumn with fresh compost and use wood chips as a mulch. This plant does not like cold wind so if position in a warm sheltered area it will be very happy.
@@seagullgardening Thanks. What about the soil ph?
@@onebicycle3772 any time, 6.5 -7
