Allotment Grow How
Великобритания
Добавлен 13 окт 2013
Hello and welcome to Allotment Grow How... For the last 10 years I've been organic gardening on my vegetable plot here in the UK.
My aim is to become as self-sufficient as I can by growing as much organic produce as I can, to help supplement my income. I chart the yearly progress on the vegetable plot and strive to show you the successes and the failures throughout my growing season.
I've tried to be as realistic as I can with my goals and I understand that self-sufficient living takes time and effort.
I'd love it if you would follow me on my journey to self-sufficiency, happiness and wellbeing.
Thank you for subscribing, it really helps and I hope to see you on the next video :-)

Do you have to have something for them to climb or are they ok growing on the ground?
They are totally fine just scrambling about on the ground, no real need for a frame for them to climb
Hi Adam, A very enjoyable video. Your Dad is a great all round gardener. I say this every year, to have a successful crop of different fruits all growing in the same greenhouse is quite an achievement. They all need separate atmospheric conditions and your Dad has overcome this hurdle with seemingly ease! I think the leaf curl on the tomatoes may be due to the compost being too dry at some stage. Probably the cucumber plant lacked enough humidity. The vegetable plots looking good as well. Considering the summer we have had, not much to grumble about!
Hi Robert, he is a great all round gardener and certainly manages to get a lot of fruit and veg from that greenhouse. The summer has been a bit of a let down this year hasn't it and judging by todays temperature autumn is upon us and then it's the slow decent into winter. Role on spring 2025
Thanks for the look around the greenhouse, you've done well to get a watermelon
Thanks for watching and commenting
Greenhouse looks great 👍
Thanks 👍
Just a suggestion... Build a trellis out of 6x6 inch stiff cattle fence. Grow your watermelons over that for a higher yield. Lettice grows well under it.
Aah, there you are Randy. I hope things are well for you my friend. How has the season been for you so far, Thanks for the melon tip, I think the main problem we have is that it's too cool over here - we don't get the heat to really cut loose on the melons.
@@AllotmentGrowHow disastrous here. Over two months with Temps over 90F +. That was coupled with 3 inches of rain during that time. I gave up @ 1/2 way through it all. 68F is all you need for Mellons..
Thank you.
You're welcome!
That’s a nice plot!
Brilliant!😊
Can you send me pdf
Really nice choice of background music 🌱
Thanks
Love that
Superb yield! I don't know why last 2 years mine have failed. Neighbours have too. My soil PH is on the alkaline side & I make my own compost. Ended up growing my back up plants from greenhouse in pots on shelves in the garden including one in old kettle as you do. After growing from seed I am still traumatised by slugs & snails - day after day, week after week & month after month & armies of them- that constant rain nearly drove insane. Finally, I might get some courgettes at the 11th hour but they'll not be bigguns. Saw your Giant Punpkin video, again mine failed this year but 2020 I got one going ok 🤷♀️
I've still got more of the buggers growing, they are non stop this year. I've been trouble by the slugs this year too and will show that in a future video. Fingers crossed you do still get some courgettes, there's always next year when it comes to growing another pumpkin. Fingers crossed
Plant is in greenhouse as live in uk around 6ft tall but yellow flowers just fall off with no fruit forming can anyone help please
Hi, I too have tried loofah for the first time this year in a small greenhouse in Yorkshire. I think possibly they're a bit like cucumbers and melons and assisting pollination with a small brush to the flowers may help. The flowers aren't very long lasting. They have male and female flowers- the female ones have a swelling like a tiny fruit at the base so you need to get some pollen from the male to the female. From what I can gather they need lots of heat and ideally a nice long hot Summer. It's getting late in our season. I have 2 plants with 3 decent sized loofahs but they seem a bit stuck now- green but not showing any signs of ripening further. Early on the small plants were decimated by the local molluscs and I put my 2 survivors in a raised bed
@@susanstebbing4847 thank you for this. Unfortunately the 2 flowers I have managed to pollinate have now been eaten by something so fingers crossed for next year. Good luck with yours
Wow lovely flowers!🌹
Thanks 👍👍
Hi Adam, Thank you for showing your Dad's garden. Good to see a traditional English garden. It makes a change from letting the lawn go to seed and garden rubbish left in heaps to attract hedgehogs. I haven't seen a hedgehog for years due to the badgers having eaten them all! Interesting to see internodal cuttings, something I've only associated with propagating clematis. I hope, at sometime, we get to see your Dad's greenhouse which is always worth a visit.
Hi Robert, Thanks for watching and commenting,... I haven't seen a hedgehog in years too except for squashed ones on the road. The internodal cuttings for the most part tend to work for me, as for the greenhouse tour... watch this space 🙂
That's a big one
Lovely harvest 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you 👍
Hi Adam, Good to see a success with the courgettes after all the other crop tribulations. When all the books say you need a rich well prepared soil to grow marrows, courgettes etc., you confound the "old boys" and do it your way! Your camera glanced by the onions which are looking quite good. As Fred Streeter used to say "the answer lies in the soil"!
Hi Robert, I think nature lives by its own rules. If those courgette plants just need the bare necessities to develop then that's what they're gonna do and no amount of ideas from any amount of books id going to stop them. Having said that, I do think richer soil would be a benefit when it comes to growing these plants. I guess they'll just do what they want to do. Thanks for watching and commenting as always
I've grown those Defender F1 and can confirm what Adam says, they just go! vigorous and prolific. Taste great as long as you don't let them get too big.
I've got another 7 courgettes that are ready to be picked already. They are nonstop
Love them in a 🍰
And a stir fry
Hi Adam, I have never grown courgettes but after watching your video, I will definitely have a go next year. Well done.🥒
Hi Dave, don't forget... they can get out of hand
Great harvest Adam, will follow your guidelines next year.👍
They just don't stop producing
I'll give you five tips
Make em racing tips and I'll get my money on an each way bet.
Where is this please
Local to me
Youre so sweet about the blackbird. Im still watching so not sure if it needed letting out yet 😅 Love your vids. What happened to those kiwi's you planted? You did it!!! Well done blackbird boy!
Blackbird boy takes a bow, receives the applause and then exits stage left. Bloody hell those kiwis are going back some... so being a very lazy gardener here's what happened. I only read up on how to look after them after I'd completed the videos. Which is arse about face really. Turns out you need a male and a female plant to get any fruit, and it takes about 4 years to figure out which type of plant you have. Then it takes another 3 years before you get any fruit. So a seven year wait. That wasn't happening, not on my watch, so I planted them in the local woods to give them a chance. They didn't make it. I think Monty Don's job is safe, don't you? Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting
@@AllotmentGrowHow Well that gave me a hoot for my Saturday!! Get right back on stage Blackbird Boy! Blimey 7 years. I wouldnt have the ptience for more than 1. Ive got a pomegranate (I just had to google that word) bush that is sitting quite happily in the corner of my plot since last year.....I wont hold my breath but you never know.
@@lovetaikolovelife9794 Pomegranate for the win!! 👍👍
You are so funny. Don't give up. 😂
That's up to the rabbits 🙂
A good detailed video on how to progress care of my squash thanks
Thanks for commenting and watching the video
Hi adam good to see you I think you will find it will be slugs that has been at you're dahlias they love them devoured mine in raised bed
If it's slugs then that's a win because I can sort them quite easily , but if it's that pesky wabbit.... !
Next time use a bigger pot and put three tiny seed potatoes in. You'll get a very worthwhile harvest!
Follow Jesus ✝️
Respect mother nature first.
Awesome
Wow! Just wow!!
❤nice pumpkins..thanks for the tips
No problem, thanks for watching and commenting
Hi, I've got one Uchi Kuri plant in green house and have two lateral runs each with 2 fruits on each. All doing well and my thoughts were to remove all the leaves so as two chanel all the feed into the fruit which appears to be doing okay. Why feed large leaves which you discard? Just my bit of logic.
I think cutting of diseased or yellowing leaves is considered good practice, but I think cutting off all the leaves might cause more harm than good, don't they need leaves for photosynthesis and the overall health of the plant and good fruit production. That's just my guess, but they're your plants - so it's up to you
Great spag squash, I'm growing them here in Sussex/South coast. I hope they do well in spite of a very unseasonal cold wind.
It has been a wet one this year, fingers crossed your will do well for you
Your peony is planted too deep, this hinders flowering. Hope you have success with your kalettes, they are so delicious. Please grow more next year for me. Any spuds this year? Can you give me the low down on your Strimmer as I’m looking to buy one. The bit with the blackbird tickled me, who is that nutter in the cage clapping lol.
I bought it from a garden centre and planted it the same depth as it was in the pot. No spuds this year, just chewed lettuce and nibbled courgettes. It's a battery operated strimmer, roughly 30/40mins charge and does the job for me. Think it was £80
Hi Adam -would that be a "Victoria Secret" plant. 🤣🤣
It's the only place I buy my plants mate 😉
If that was rabbits eating in my garden I would see that as a blessing not a tragedy. Rabbit with onions in foil on the is kinda like planting two sisters crops lol. You benefit from both. Great video Adam. I have a huge section of my garden growing purple hull peas. Their doing great so far. Take care my friend.
Hey Larry, good to hear from you... yeah those bunnies do have another benefit 👍Glad to hear you've got your peas growing. the rabbit appreciated me growing them this year too 🤣🤣🤣
Show stoppers! 🌸🌸🌸
Hi Annie it's a big old unit
You live in area where it drops below freezing. Bring them inside. Wooddust, perlite or vermiculite stored them in that.
Hi Adam help from Northern Ireland have watched you for years, hubby thinks some of the damage is done by the small dear yous seem to have maybe not all rabbit damage, your plot is doing well considering the nibblers, thanks for saving the black bird. Its our weather here thats causing us major issues.
Hello lol maybe I was thinking help
Hi Michelle, tell hubby he could be onto something as I do think deer are sniffing around the plot as well as the rabbits. It'll be elephants soon knowing my luck
We seem to have millions of slugs & snails, have beer slug traps which work, slug pellets don't, hubby went out after your video and covered our red cabbage and celery. Keep going your doing good, it's our worst year ever as weather truly crap.
@@michellelarkin3115 The weather has been terrible so far, summer hasn't turned up and Mr Rain is having an extended party
With the peony you could try to dig away some of the soil around the stem. They don’t like to be buried to deep. So hopefully it will flower for you next year. I say dig the soil away because they don’t like to be moved apparently.
The peony is annoying really as it's loving life as a plant and is more than content to not push out a flower... not a single one. It'll get a stay of esecution for maybe another season but after that I may try something else. Thanks for the comments
Hi Adam, That blessed rabbit has certainly given you the run a round. It's a pity Tom Forest wasn't still about! Still, all that wire netting etc; should give the crops a chance to produce a good yield in the end. Broad beans are looking well and those mystery plants look like trailing marrows to me. No doubt I will be proved wrong!
Hi Robert, I'm sure Tom would have been able to sort that pesky rabbit for me. The broad beans were picked and tasted lovely, this time of the year is great out on the plot. All will be revealed when it comes to those mystery plants my friend.
Are the mystery plants... pumpkins?? 🎃🎃🎃 Rabbits are a problem for me here in the US too. I just am aggressive with the garlic powder and pepper flakes to try and keep them away. Issue is a hungry rabbit's gonna eat whatever, even if it's kind of stinky.
All will be revealed in a future video as to the mystery plants identity. I've considered garlic flakes and chilli pepper flakes before, just never actually tried them. I may have to next season. Thanks for commenting
Hi Adam, I think you know what I would do about the bunnies. Try growing your carrots in containers, it works a doddle for me. See you soon.
Thanks for posting this video. I had a couple super runty potatoes just about like your starter and was looking for this exact info as to whether its ok to try and plant. Much appreciated 👍
I'm glad you found it useful, it's definitely ok to plant the smaller potatoes and as you can see they can yield a decent return. Thanks for watching and commenting
Pretty tiny pots you got there.
Thanks
What'ya doing up there??? 😉😂 Just kidding.....😂😂😂
Great information, This really helped me.
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful
Awww....little Benjamin! 🐇 But I do feel your pain...My issue is with Mr Blackbird, he rather likes the fibrous texture of the compost and digs out everything exposing roots and scattering what he hasnt selected for his latest abode!!!! Onwards and upwards, my friend!! Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Hi Annie, I feel like Old Mr McGregor when it comes to the bunnies, I just wish they ate something else like the grass on my plot. That would save me from having to strim it all the time 😄😄😄😄😄😄
