  1. All looking good, Adam. I know what you mean about "season getting away", but I'm just pleased that I have virtually used up most of the ground on the two plots. It is a little colder today, cant believe its June already. I picked my first ripe strawberries today, so I was a very happy bunny. All the best, Adam, speak shortly:)

  2. Nice vid ! What b. bean are they ? they look well . Modular Growing is the way to go for Spring onion lettuce etc. Only direct sowings i do now are a few radish. How far is your plot from home ? As you seem to trek through forests on mountains- you are the dedicated gardener . Maybe make a episode on your journey? Any way like your uploads look forward to the next!

  3. Really great update. i didn't know there was a red little gem! Have to try that. Do you leave the stones in your soil on purpose or just haven't taken them out? The carrots get perverted with the rocks. 🙂

  4. You really need to get a greenhouse set up somewhere bud.  We've been eating home grown soft greens since April.  It makes starting off seeds that much easier also.  If it makes you feel any better…I'm about three weeks behind on seeding's to replace what we've been munching on.  Keep on growing bud…  Thanx for the vid.

  5. love the music selection during the lettuce planting segment. What artist is that? Btw, I only just noticed that you have green eyes. That's not a pick-up line…just an observation.
    I planted broad beans for the first time here in U.S. zone 7b. They were hit with blight. Do yours get blight?

  6. Hi Adam! The allotment is looking great! As everyone else said, that pea trellis is so cool. I'd totally try to get one or make one if I had the room myself. You've also got me interested in parsnips, but it's probably to late for the now and I'm not sure I have the room. #gardenproblems

  7. your soil preparation is fantastic !! loving that expanding peas frame !! great plot update all looking lush and green !! your loopin are looking amazing !! thanks for sharing !! all the best and happy gardening !!!

  8. Thank you for the update. Your experience with seed tapes is interesting because I am using them for the first time this year. I am mainly using them for salad crops which I grow in troughs and they have been very successful. I have recently sown some carrot and parsnips in a big plastic box along with some spring onions to frighten off the fly. The parsnips are in tape and do seem to be coming through.

  9. I think I might have to do some cheating too. Everything is dying as just haven't had time to plant anything out! The season is getting away from me too. I didn't know little gem also came in red! That willow support is great. I really want one of those bad boys. Where did you find that? Definitely growing some lupins next year, you have inspired me. Glad to see everything growing so well, your video's are so lovely to watch. Jazz.

  10. There is a lot I didn't get to sow this year because my ground wasn't ready and I decided to concentrate on that. So yeah, I do feel the same but it has also been a year of delays with rotten weather so I am not sure anyone else is further along. I definitely think your idea of plug plants is a good one. May consider that myself for a few things. Great video mate. All the best.
