Green Side Up

Green Side Up

This channel is about my adventure in gardening and my 2 allotment plots and 4 Polytunnels here in North West Cumbria on the edge of the Lake district National Park. I am a daily gardener who believes in trying things for myself rather than just reading about it. I grow vegetables for the table and some for fun., cut flowers are also a necessity and a dozen buckets a week in season are not uncommon. I grow as much as I possibly can from seed, there is nothing more satisfying. Always busy, with something new on the horizon or another test. Join me for the adventure!!

    This video is nearly two years old but JParkers’s attitude is still the same. They are okay for buying established plants but yes plant plugs are a waste of money.

    Sutton used to have a really good reputation but just got some geranium plug plants. So small could hardly work with them without damaging. Box said follow instructions inside, nothinbut adverts for other products. Thing the ones I have managed to pot will be read about 2026. Rubbish

    I have given up growing sweetcorn as there are now three badger sets on our allotment site and for the last two years everyone’s sweetcorn has been eaten by them.

    Well, I’m very late to hear of Steve’s passing and feeling stunned and heavy hearted. 😢 Such a sad loss. I’m appreciative of all that he shared and his willingness to help…I learned a lot and adored him.

    While I was saddened to learn of his passing, his family should be proud that Steve is still providing guidance for people. These polytunnel videos are some of the best instructional videos for the setup and maintenance available and I for one am glad Steve took the time to share what he knew with everyone.

    Just popped by to remind myself of Steve's advice, as I prepared some new pots and got the first of my potatoes in the ground - i.e. in buried pots. Steve lives on with every new or revisited view.

    Thanks for this! Here in Canada I am growing some Russet potatoes but mostly Kennebec. We don’t think of first early or second early or main crop here, we just kind of grow them! I saw someone say it works differently in the UK because of your cool moist summers. I’m growing in spanking brand new 35L containers with handles. You have me worried though as I have bought four seed taters per pot, Tony O’Neil made me do it😇! I’m hoping the extra 5L will help. I’m planning on watering mine with half strength Miracle grow weekly. My growing medium will be Pro Mix, a super duper peat based compost. I’m Planning to can the potatoes for home fries!

    I came here after watching your older videos and inspiring me to email my council and ask where I was on the allotment list! I then saw your last post was months ago and got confused and have just read the comments to see you have sadly passed away. So sad and what great advice and videos you put up which really have inspired me. You will live on through the rest of our allotments 🤍
