    it's surprising how many people love fuchsias. they've been a passion of mine for a while now. as for tomatoes......i agree the weather is a big factor in this years growth rate, but i'm also blaming compost mixes in this. for too long we've relied on the peat. now it's disappearing we are adding more coco coir and additives like perlite.i now recognise the importance of grit or sharp sand in the mix. the original john innes mix was 7 parts loam, 3 parts peat ans 2 parts sharp sand by volume. perlite was an extra added by nurserymen in the old days. for some strange reason gardeners have forgotten the need for drainage and started using more perlite etc. i feel my theory is worth testing next year.......................brian

    Well Brian those cuttings are doing amazing, makes you wonder why we bother growing more than one seed when we can take strong cuttings. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s lovely to hear the kids in the background. I’m not sure what the he’ll is going on with compost and soil bought in, everyone’s having issues. When people say it’s a bad year and things aren’t going well they should see how you are doing and growing and not falling back on wo is me. 👍👍 your a star and a legend Brian keep up the great work and inspiration, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦 Just look at those stellar cauliflower 👍👍

    i'm too old in the tooth to worry about anything now. over the years i've witnessed too many trials and tribulations. compost is behind most gardeners problems. since the lack of peat gardeners have converted to coconut coir. there's still a vital element missing. grit or coarse sand in the mix. i'm going back to basics......................brian

    Looking champion marra you and the veg lol quick daft question Brain, In my fron garden a have a massive fuchsia (like privet size) Do you know if you can successfully graft different types to the main stem (double flower, trailing types) sure a remember seeing something years ago about making standards.they were about 5 to 6 ft tall ones the fella made

  • @briansgardenandpolytunnel8172
    @briansgardenandpolytunnel817212 күн бұрын

    i can't see why they can't be grafted, but standards are mainly created from certain named varieties of fuchsia. generally an upright plant with lush growth. i found it makes a stronger standard by using 3 or 4 shoots growing together inter-twining them. i would still use a cane to promote a straight centre stem. i bought my new stock of plants late in the season. best to start early with cuttings for this purpose...................brian
