  1. Plot looking good. Peas have been attacked by pea and bean weevil which is very rarely fatal but does slow them up a bit. Manhatten lights lupin looks fantastic i grow it on my plot and its one of my favourites. Keep up the good work

  2. Loved this video, lots of little giggles. Your gooseberries are doing so well! I have 4 bushes and they are not doing great!
    The walk to the plot looks beautiful too, you are very lucky to have a plot in such a beautiful spot
    Sorry to see you have leaf miner too – mine were killed dead, so they are out. Apparently Autumn sets do better
    Has the bean beetle been at the peas? Mine are rubbish too 🙁

  3. Hi Adam. Well Jen loves the Lupins!! She is going to look for them at the local Garden Centres and markets. My peas are ok but, my sweet peas look a bit like your peas! Could it be their too closely planted I'm wondering, maybe I should have thinned them more! Did guess by the way the Globe Artichoke, only as I've just planted ours out. Looking forward to next weeks mate. Roger n Jenny.

  4. If that t gnat is the worst thing you have to chew on in this life time you're doing pretty well bud. Lupine….Outstanding. That fruit of yours is slamming also. Glad to see everything else is up and coming on. You keep making them…I'll keep watching them.

  5. Great update again mate. Loads of stuff I want to mention but I'll keep it brief. Sturon onions going to seed? Hopeful that they will recover? That's like placing hope that your teenage daughter will become un-pregnant. It ain't gonna happen, best you can do is nurture them and grow to love them, all 1 ounce of them. So much for YOUR onion challenge eh? (Smug grin from yours truly).
    Talk soon

  6. Your plot is looking good. Things are popping up everywhere. I thought the peas look fine. They probably just need a bit more time and then they will start jumping up the trellis. Also, peas don't need a lot of nitrogen fertilizer. Phosphorus and Potassium is okay though. Lupine looks amazing. You are the Lupine King! Imagine if you had 3 of them next to each other. Your fruit looks really good too. Thanks for the update.

  7. Hi Adam, thanks for another great video.  I always seem to learn something new when I watch.  Allium leaf miner, I have to look that one up.  One group of my onions seems to have them, thanks to you ID'ing yours.  I have never had that twisting before and I was wondering what was going on.  The allotment looks great.  Thanks for sharing.  Happy Gardening! Catherine

  8. Hi Adam, I new a man who swallowed a gnat well fancy that he swallowed a gnat! stop when you get to horse because he is dead of course. Missed the fancy camera shots but I can wait for the next video. Plot is coming on fine, no idea what is the matter with the peas. I bet they will pick up, looking forward to the nex video Take care Mike B

  9. good day Adam !! I didn't guess with the first one but I guessed horseradish or wasabi with the second thing !! that loopin is massive plant spreading all over !! the fruit bushes are loaded with fruit !! I've just planted 6 jumbo marigold plants in my new bed out the front of my bungalow !! thing are coming along nicely and happily growing up !! great news about your seeds and seedlings coming up just after a week !! thanks for sharing and happy gardening

  10. LOL Adam love the title of this one!! Always a thumbs up, wish I could do another for Gnat Videos. The lupine are specular, you're really becoming the flower guy :-D. Well it looks like you will have loads for red gooseberries. Funny looks like death row, really isn't. The allotment is looking pretty good, T

  11. Looking good Adam. My whole bean bed is looking a bit sickly. Going to
    try different feed and see if that helps. Hope your peas perk up. Lupins
    looking awesome. I keep meaning to get some but always forget. I also
    think I might have allium leaf miner? Mine are looking a bit like yours!
    Take care buddy.

  12. Hello Adam, if you don't mind me asking…. where did you get the seeds for your lupin "Manhattan lights?"… I've been looking, but no luck finding seeds… thank you for your time:-)
