Looks good to me Adam! Enjoy your vids . Best of luck ,- slugs Lets be honest -pellets are the only way or the snails slugs will stop you gardening by demoralizing you. Dont let it happen!
Hi Adam had a similar day myself plus I moved my tool box and uncovered an army of slugs and a battalion of snails plus a neat little mouse nest. Don't worry about the plague of Diamondback Moths Ive got them all. Moses is never around when you need him. Got to keep smiling Cheers Mike B
Your garden is so nice
Slugs and snails are a big problem in most gardens
Never give up, Laters
I've no gooseberries and few beets. It's been a Hitchcock. thing around here…"the birds". Is "chocolate spot" blight? Thanks for the vid. Great job. Randy
Awesome update i had some gooseberry but i think i picked them to early as very small
Hi Adam. Good luck with your Chinese cabbages. Keep them protected if you can as the slugs seem to think it's a free-for-all buffet. Liking the stealth planting idea 🙂 I hope you don't forget where you put them! Your beetroot is looking great. I'm happy to hear you are going to do smoothie vids again. Think you had better keep the potatoes away from your smoothie maker this year though haha. I'm liking the look of the shallots. Probably a good thing to grow as they can be quite pricey in the shops. Did you manage to talk to anyone about your neighbours plot? I hope your butternut squash perks up. My squash all look equally sad as we planted them out way way way too late. I don't think I will bother with squash next year except for courgettes. I have never tried red gooseberries. I'm not that keen on the green ones but I have heard that the red are a lot nicer and sweeter….probably heard it from you haha. Can you eat them ones raw? Do the authorities know you have pole dancers on your plot? I loved your reaction to the chocolate spot. Compared to my reaction when I got it, when I didn't know what it was! At least I will be more chilled about it next year. My sunflowers are about two foot tall and very spindly. Yours look great, the ones that you didn't murder of course 😉 I must say, that shot of the snail was awesome. It was perfectly framed as if you had directed him where to crawl. Stuff like that is great to watch. That's the thrill of video making. There's nothing wrong with that small iceberg, that's fine for a salad. Lucky guinea pig. Great update. Have a good rest of the week Adam. Jazz.
Hey Adam, glad you didn't "fully" give up on brassicas :-), I hope they make it. The plot is looking good. I've heard of the so call hiding plants, here it was and is a type of companion planting. They figure if you didn't plant all your "like" crops together and inter planted it with other non related types, you had a better chance of a harvest. A lot of the companion planting centers around scented herbs and flowers as the birds don't like the smell and avoid it. Hope it works, TFS, T.
You have worked hard on that plot, Adam, and it truly shows! I have some Chinese lettuce growing too. Your soil is in good nick, hope you get great crop of beans. Loved your filming technics as always. Speak soon:)))
You've improved that plot so much since you took it over. Top man, Adam. Now just sort out that soil. It's like the surface of Mars 😉 Great video as usual.
great plot tour a few Adam !! all looks rather healthy and strong !! it's the best I've never seen it full to the Brim all lush Green foliage !! you're sure to get a great harvest !!
I smiled when you said Smoothie vids are on the way. I will also be interested to see if hiding the cabbages works. Great vid mate. All the best.
Great way of hiding your veg as long as you know where they are, your plot is looking fab nice lot growing and the flowers look pretty
Hi Adam, I'm planning to grow Chinese cabbage as well heard there is not much chance to avoid slug damage so let's see how they will do. Onions are getting there by the way how you tell if they are ready is this when top just fall off
Hi Adam you seem to have it all under control. Looking forward to more smoothie video.
Best wishes
slugs and snails love Chinese cabbages, but don't give up on them. they might look moth eaten when they mature, but the time you strip them down to maybe half their size you still have an edible heart.
