Hi Jim I'm in the same boat as you mate, I've got to much going on in my greenhouses , unlike you i have no space outside at the minuet, But hopefully the garlic will be coming up really soon and that will free up some space lol

Thanks for the lavender tip Jim. Your plot is looking amazing so much going on. How many hours a week do you put in down there?

Great update Jim. How have you got so many runners? I have had pathetic success with germination of mine, I think we have had 6 out of 50 germinated. I have used 25 seeds saved from last years harvest and 25 brand new seeds. I don't know whats going on.

Hi Jim, I grow my basil in the greenhouse borders amongst the tomatoes, it works really well.
All the best.

And there was me panicking about getting the remaining few trays of plants out of the greenhouse! 😄😄😄😄😄
I think you need some Wolves soil to kick start them peas into action. My grapevine is really slow in growing, I've had a little dig outside the greenhouse and the vine roots are showing from inside the greenhouse, so no problem there. Is that roundup that you have used in the bindweed?
Had a disaster this year with swedes in modules (Tweed F1). 2 sowing and 2 failures, so gone direct into ground as last resort. Last year the modules were a winner???
All the best mate........Nigel

Jim, yet another question :) What ARE you going to do with that huge amount of Rhubarb ???. Hat's off to you, it's grown beyond all proportions, never seen anything quite like it :o

Hi Jim, as always I really enjoyed watching this latest upload. One question I do have please, what product did you use on the Bindweed?, it looks like it work really well. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the tour,your garden looking good,you certainly put a lot of work in,regards Ray.

Thanks for sharing. Great video and lots of useful information.

Thanks Jim, good reminder for protecting the timber in our allotments, till next time.

Happy growing
Terry

Thanks Jim for that comprehensive tour of your allotment. Again very informative ! Take care, till next time.

Great video as always. You've certainly got your hands full keeping your allotment fruitful and weed free.
My tomatoes all in big pots and I'm just waiting for warm weather so they can go out. It's still only about 7* here overnight
But it's the wind that's cold. Everything that is out is showing signs of windburn.
My veggie garden is so slow to grow..plants look like they're sitting there doing nothing much. Except weeds of course which
never seem to have a problem with cold wet windy days! They love all sorts of weather. I've got horsetail/mares tail sprouting
here and there. That's difficult to get up. Going to try the 'gel' treatment after I've made a nick in the skin as they're covered in a waxy stuff which makes them immune to weed killer as it can't penetrate...or so I've read. Keep up the good work and I love your music. Reminds me a little of
Pink Floyd early stuff.
