Samurailord's Video Updates

[Samurailord]

Another update.

The flooding in the polytunnel has almost dried up, the potatoes have had their first earthing up and I get one of my beds ready for square foot gardening.

The brassicas get moved to their final positions but more of my strawberries have died back.

Hope you enjoy watching

This week's update.

A near disaster in my polytunnel which I try to fix with some more raised beds and I finally get the chance to sow some seeds straight into the ground in my square foot gardening bed.

All looking good Andy, enjoy your holiday.

I always look forward to your videos Andy, great to see the progress. All looking good, hope the donated strawberries 'take' OK. I hadn't considered hanging baskets on my allotment before, am now inspired to follow your example (loving the pink flowers on the strawberries)

Have a good holiday!

Always happy tweety bl**dy birds B.B. - and thanks for correcting my technical error

The spuds are being saved for a Christmas Day harvest, but there has been no movement on a swarm for our hive as yet - I found one, but by the time I got back to collect it had gone

Looks great Andy, amazing how much it's all grown since last video. Enjoyed the tour round the site - the idea of a communal orchard is really nice, I wish our site had space for that.

Once you dig up your potatoes will be interested to see if you can find out why the couple of them lagged behind the rest from the start, I wonder if you'll find any bugs eating the roots.

Looks like you're growing a really good range of herbs in the poly - will you be making a permanent bed for them? I'm thinking of making a rockery-style herb bed next year, will be interested to hear your view on which ones are easiest to grow (only herb I've grown so far is chives).

Maybe - I just think there may be some local cold spot or something similar, but who knows?

The herbs are going to be put in and amongst the fruit bushes - I already have some with the strawberries and I have cleared out the weeds from amongst the raspberries and red currants so I can plant the remainder of the herbs in there.
