  1. Hey, I have finally signed up to the website, urgh the weather is cold this year so far in the UK. Even down south. I will try and sew this weekend, I am doubtful due to the cold

  2. Hi Ben! I recently found your channel and have been watching your videos to learn as much as I can, as this year I will be attempting to grow veggies and flowers in containers. As I don't have access to garden soil, could you recommend a good soil for containers? I will be growing tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, lettuces, herbs and some flowers. I live in the UK, but there are so many brands and different types of soil, composts, top soil that I don't really know what should go into these containers! Many thanks

  3. Love your videos and your enthusiasm is contagious! I will carry on with my seed sowings! I already have tomatoes up and onion bulbs in pots in the green house, I live in the SW of France, so a little ahead of gardeners in the UK.

  4. I love your videos. Have yet to watch one that wasn't useful and inspiring. Per seed sowing: If space isn't an issue, can the transfer to plug trays be skipped and the strongest seedling kept in the 2" or 4" pot until planting?

  5. When you gave your tip about creating a mini greenhouse with clear plastic and an elastic band, I wondered, "Would a shower cap (which is both those things in one) work?"

    Turns out the answer is "yes".

  6. Hi Ben, just wondering what you think of vermiculite? I used to use it a lot to cover my seedlings and coming back to vegetable growing now after a long while I’m not sure whether to use it again or not?

  7. I'm trying a bit of a hybrid this year – what I mean by that is starting off cold plants in my small plastic greenhouse, and warm season crops inside but I'm then trying to start off some tomatoes, peppers etc in the mini greenhouse – to see which turn out better, if I have any issues with frost etc

  8. Can we just appreciate the quality of these vidoes, with the variety of angles, some lush lighting and funny little cutaways… Just utterly entertaining and high quality. I'd say you should be on mainstream tv, but I think that'd only take away from how truly splendid these tutorials are. Im a budding gardener and learning how to do this with my young children, and each video I soak up so much wonderful info and tips. Thank you for the time and effort!
