Love the lily. Every thing looks so nice and neat. My little garden looks scattered. I have problems with the neighboring cats, too, coming over to my yard to do their dirty deed. I have one neighbor that has roaming chickens, and they come over and scratch around in every one of my raked up piles of stuff and scatter it out again. Very frustrating. I always like seeing you in these videos.

Okay one more thing Love all your different trellisings. I am going to go through and watch a few more times to try out some of them.

Every thing is really going great guns isnt it. Finally got to watch. Love it. Like you i am trying to have my garden go right thru the winter this year. It is so exciting to see your celery doing so well. I am glad you tried again this year and it gives me hope for next year to try the celery again. I hink i have just nit watered it enough in the past.

Sean, Vivi , I'm so confused??? Sean was building his pond, then he said "Goodbye" Then Rick gave up his allotment? Now its Vivi's Channel? I love Vivi and Jeff and everyone, but Sean are you going to be gardening??? I thought we'd see more or you since you moved?

I am having the same trouble in Colorado, it was too wet to plant, not cold...but the yard and garden were completely flooded for 2 months this Spring. I managed to get seedlings, then couldn't plant them out. I ended up mostly direct sowing in mid JUNE. Sigh. Well things are coming along fine now but we've had no rain at all. Terrible year for the garden.

Excellent..:). You have many crops growing.:). I especially like your rose tree, which is giving shade to your celery..:) You have done a great job with your plot Vivi..:) Well done.. And remember Rome wasnt built in a day, and you can't do anything about mother nature..
Happy gardening..:) -
It's looking lovely Vivi

Hi Vivi,
love the latest tour of your allotment. I have Roma tomatoes both inside and outside grown, I stuck the spares outside and they haven't done so bad even though I am in the north east midlands. I saw what I think was signs of blight in my greenhouse after warm wet weather and I removed all affected bits and resorted to spraying (organic safe spray) early on in the season when we had a problem with the window in the greenhouse (stuck shut) and it got very steamy in there even with the door open for a few days until we could mend it. But the problem has not recurred and lots of new growth and fruits set in the end. I am also interested that you say you bottle your tomatoes to preserve them and I wonder if you know whether or not any signs of blight means they can't be bottled only cooked and used immediately or frozen as soup and sauces for pasta. Also, I would love to see you make a little film showing how you bottle yours as I am a beginner and this year was to be my first go at bottling my Roma tomatoes but now I am not even sure if they are ok to preserve in this way because of signs of possible blight in my greenhouse earlier on this season. . My outside ones are fine not a sign of blight on them and well away (30ft) from the greenhouse area so hopefully not going to succumb to it,but there's only a few of them as they don't do so well outside up here and it has been a lousy summer after a promising start sadly. I would really love to hear from you, thanks x -
Viv, What you need to do with your toms is to feed them and then feed them with "Epsom salts", I think You should have planted them deeper, but maybe that's for another year. I like your celery, I cant grow the stuff !
-
Vivi!!! Excellent Gardening. I'd really like to hear more about your storage techniques and perhaps your rotating planting schedule. I'm in Florida, US, so I have to shift any schedules you might have and adapt for near equator type weather but, you give me such wonderful information that I think next years crop will be stupendous. Thank you for all your hard work.
