I’ve just done a big, bulk seed harvest of my Bok Choi and Chinese Cabbage. They both bolted back in December, so we’re full of seed heads, last month and they all started turning brown. I chopped them all off into a big plastic tote and have been agitating the contents of the bin with my hand, to burst open the seed pods. All of the seeds have fallen to the bottom of the tote and the empty pods will be going as browns into my compost bins. Or I can run them through my chipper and thrown the remains into you beds, as mulch. We will see how much I end up with!

You have elder that close to that raised bed, I didn't realize I could put them that close to other garden areas. I am looking at getting an elderberry patch planted in the next few weeks. I have 7 3ft elderberry I need to get in the ground, from what I'd seen in videos I figured I needed more space? I had thought of building similar trellis system with tposts for the elders and giving them extra room so I could clip/plant starts in between.
@Lovelygreens
Жыл бұрын
Sounds like a good system! The elder, and other hedgerow plants, we've planted along the fence are about a foot apart. They'll grow and knit together into a hedgerow rather than individual shrubs/trees. We'll keep the hedge clipped and pruned so that it doesn't get any taller than about seven feet and no wider than about four feet.

The reason I chose to subscribe is that the growing season, weather is very similar to the one here on the west coast of Canada. It's a bit strange because there are magnolias growing beside cedars and yew. Palm trees too. Temperate rainforest zone. Wet, sometimes windy, but it never gets hot enough to grow aubergine or peppers outside. Learned this year onions actually produce better from seed, so I have those already started, one a sweet variety, the other, storage. Last year it didn't get to 10°C until late June! Hopefully this year it will be warm by April. 🤞

Great video, thanks. I wondered how long you think the redcurrants will take to establish before you move. I took cuttings after harvesting the crop at the end of September, they all took, so I'm hoping I can pot up or pass to friends for planting soon so I have more space. Also I may try taking cuttings, side shoots, from my F1 mini striped aubergine this year, as like you I'm down to the last 2 seeds and would like to keep growing. No idea if it will work but hopefully I'll remember to try 😊🌱
@Lovelygreens
Жыл бұрын
I imagine it will take two years before the redcurrant cuttings produce anything you could call a harvest. Another one to two years after that to full maturity. It's a lesson in patience, but once they've matured, they'll produce masses of berries every year. Good luck with your aubergine cuttings!

We don't have squirrels here, but I know that they're the bane of many a gardener. One successful tip I saw recently is to lay pruned rose stems in a criss-cross pattern over the tops of the plantings. The thorny lattice worked a treat for keeping squirrels off this past winter.

Maybe you can give me an answer to a question I’ve had for a while (and no one seems able to give me a definitive answer); do you cut a golden raspberry back once they’ve fruited, like normal summer fruiting raspberries? My golden raspberry has spikes on it and I’ve heard that you leave those kind of raspberries I.e. don’t cut them back. Some clarification would be nice. 👍🏻 😊
@Lovelygreens
Жыл бұрын
I don't think you can rely on color or spikiness to tell you if the variety is summer-fruiting or autumn-fruiting. For example, I grow 'All Gold,' a yellow raspberry with spikey canes that is an autumn-fruiting raspberry variety. It's a common variety in Britain, and I prune all the canes down in the dormant season. However, there are yellow raspberries, like 'Golden Everest,' that are summer-fruiting varieties.

Coco coir uses billions of gallons of water to wash it before it can be used. The conditions the workers are subject to is horrendous! Plus if you live in Canada where we have responsible sustainable peat harvest and production , it makes no sense to use coco. Coco would have to be shipped clear across the world, again not very sustainable or eco friendly. I guess in countries that have a lot of coconut production it would be the better choice. Having said all that, organic has nothing to do with which you use.
