Volume is very low, hard to hear❤👩‍🌾

I also wanted to thank Stephanie for stepping in to assist you whilst your usual camera man cannot get to you :) where there's a will there's always a way! Thank you Stephanie :)

I always chuckle when you say the plants "enjoy growing with their mates" 😄

You've got a convert here Charles. I had a veggie patch, 4x8 yards on soil. I had a serious heart issue a year ago so cant dig. Following your instructions all was covered in cardboard then 5" of year old horse manure. Found some 3 year old seeds in the cupboard, added some more form the internet, and now I have 10 different types of veggies growing in modules. I've also filled 4 compost bins, ordered a thermometer. I'll let you know how it goes 😊 Thank you for sharing your hard-earned wisdom so freely.

Keep em coming Charles . O know lots of people really appreciate a view into your world esp at the moment :)

Really great information , right now we are stuck inside our houses in my country .. but your garden fills my heart with joy 😁

Another wonderful video. 💗 I love all your content so much! You’re so calming and inspiring, thank you so much for working hard to film these videos even in sub-optimal conditions. Stay safe!

I love your videos. Move over Alan Titchmarsh and Monty Don - Charles Dowding is the man!

I don't even really like radishes but they look so pretty when you pull them out of the ground, it makes me want to plant them. I should learn to like them, lol.

So many great points in this short video...multisowing, timings, selective harvesting, weeding etc etc! Thanks Charles, stay safe and happy growing. Cheers

Lovely. I have carrots and spring onions coming on from over the winter, although I am envious of your gorgeous full sun garden. Still, even with a few hours of sun a day, I was able to harvest cabbage and herbs, enough for dinner, two days ago. The cabbage didn't heart up but I still had enough gorgeous green leaves and didn't need to go to the grocery store. Hurray for homegrown. 'They grow with their mates...' Haha! Love that!

Really enjoyed this thank you.... I haven't grown for about 8 years. This year I'm having another go in my back garden. Thank you again

Thank you for always sharing your brilliant ideas with us!

I am a small farmer myself and I love watching your video sir.

First year I’m doing this with my beets and onions. Very excited to see how it goes down! Lol! Last year I planted peppers and eggplants in twos. Worked out just great. They don’t mind growing together. In fact, it helped the peppers to be shaded and not get scorched by our hot summer sun.

Thank you Charles and Stephanie for the videos you are creating during this time, cheers from New Zealand

I have been learning so much from your videos. You explain in a great way, and my english has improve by listening to you. I would love to see you cooking with your own vegetables. God bless you! From Sweden.

I love the way you teach us about gardening.

I love your videos and your approach to gardening. I am finally back in the garden after years of 'not having enough time', to be fair to myself I have been studying for the last six. However learning so much and loving being out every morning, seeing what has changed over night. I have been multisowing modules and am doing a mixture of no dig and container gardening. My kids have been getting involved too. Excited to see how our garden grows. I have ordered your growing diary too. Thank you for keeping on sharing at this time of lockdown. Warm. Wishes, from Kent.

Yo Chuck! Please adjust the volume. The last few 2020 spring videos have been hard to hear. Otherwise looks good! Thanks for all you do and for sharing 💚

I’m multi sowing leeks and beets this year for the first time! Thanks for the idea! Both will be planted into my garden this coming weekend.

Thanks Charles, I've never really used the multisow method... I just uually plant one seed par module, but your demo and info in this video is definitely something for me to consider this season. Cheers Adam

I have started using your method this year - so much easier! Thank you

Some more helpful tips, thanks Charles 👍

Am trying to be a good farmer like my Grandpa, guess I see his vision and attitude in you ♥️🙏😊 thank you so much for all the knowledge sharing🏵️🌺🌼

I never pull any of my spring onions out of the ground. I just cut them at ground level and they grow back, been doing that for years, I can’t remember the last time I sowed any White Lisbon spring onions. You can treat them as perennial plants.

Thank you for another great Video. Im working on my spring onions today actually 👍🏾

Wish I could copy your gardens and paste them into my yard! Perpendicular perfection.

ROCK ON GARDENING VENDING MACHINES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your channel! I live in zone 8b in Florida and your videos have been the most wonderful source of information on gardening I’ve ever found. It’s so easy and such great results! Thank you Charles!

Too bad the volume is so low it’s inaudible. Looks really interesting.

Thanks for the videos much appreciated in these difficult times.. I have now adopted this method of multi sowing..works very well.👌

Thank you for sharing your garden advice with us ! I learn so much from you!! I envy your climate . We live in the high desert in Oregon ,with temp. Extremes . I'm trying to figure out how to adapt what I learn from you ,to fit when I can sow and set out my seedlings ,etc.. Our last frost date is May 31 .

great ideas Charles.

Don't forget to mention that the bigger ones will tend to be toward the outside, making them easier to access and freeing up space each time for another one to take it's place.

Love these videos, I"m going to try multisowing for the first time this year!

“These dates worth making a note of”. Your followers need the diary App that goes “ping’” to remind them when things need sowing etc. Would be such a nice ping to receive whilst wrestling with other mighty problems in the world

Those radish look awesome, mine always grow at different rates. Always great to pop by and see what you are doing. Take care 😊

The volume is a little low

Oh golly Charles ~ just what I needed to know :) I planted out 24 broad bean plants yesterday and pricked out 30+ lettuce, which had all been started in my kitchen :) and today I wanted to find one of your videos on sowing beetroot ~ and voila ~ here it is right on queue :) how about that for synchronicity & telepathy! ;) thank you so much :) you're amazing! :)

Wow look at the size of those onions. Making notes of the times to sow and plant Charles is amazing as usual. Will be growing some vegetables for my self got some in the ground but they do not look anything like Charles garden. the cats are back they must have put out the word Caughey's toilet is open again lol

Thanks Charles! Another "Lovely Day" in the garden. Snow squalls here yesterday! Think Spring!

Love your phase “they like being with their mates”

I appreciate your videos sir.

I don’t care how poor the sound is. Keep posting! It’s a good time now to work out how to make your methods work for me. Strawberries sorted. Fruit frame has to go to get rid of the raised beds and let the birds deal with the pests until summer then nets. If I have a total blackbird invasion it’s down to you. Ha ha. Stay happy and thanks to Steph! I think that is called a soliloquy so requires nothing but an indulgent smile!!!

Excellent video

Fine info, as usual. Charles is my hero, though I must adapt for climate variables. A heroic figure to my mind.

I hear you perfect as well as the planes. Its sound like the battle of Britain fly past.

You sir are legendary.

Muito bom!!! Muito obrigado Charles por nos inspirar em um plantio tão lindo!!! Vida longa ao canal!! Parabéns!!!

Thanks Charles. I always wondered what to do when I bought seedlings and they had lots in each cell. They seemed so vulnerable if I thinned them out to one each planting, based on the recommended spacing. Now I have nice clumps of spring onions coming up together and looking perfectly happy to be growing that way. I just discovered that UMass at Amherst have a no-dig veggie garden (in fact several by now) on campus, right beside their cafe which now uses their no-miles no-dig food. There are three videos about this project and they seem to share the same spirit as you do Charles. I hope you don't mind me sharing a link to their work. I would love to see universities everywhere doing this:

Great work Charles, thank you for keeping the videos coming despite not uaving your camera man! Much appreciated ♥️♥️ please continue with these phone updates 🙌

Thanks Charles. 🌸👌🏼

Gracias por tus videos, saludos desde España ,Galicia

Nice vid Charles! As always, thanks for all education! Btw I have so many seeds planted this year :D I hope i'll handle them :D

I have my volume all the way up and cannot hear you. If you had a mic on it wasn't working I think you might have to do the video over again.

I have not officially caught up on each video that's come out and I can say that each time he pulls some food I want to eat it immediately. I don't know how he stops himself. They look so good!

Glad to hear that leek germination is patchy but that they come through eventually as my multisown leeks are looking very sparse indeed ......I won’t give up yet.

Why couldn't you have been my grandpa!? I had a lousy grandpa. Can I adopt you?

Thank you soooooo much. God bless you all

Great video as always , the subtitles made me smile "no dick gardening ", 😂

Hi Charles, thanks so much for all the information you share! I just started out a small vegetable garden and read in one of your books about wood chips (want to use some for a few walking paths), which could be a nice hiding place for slugs. I see a lot of them in this video, so maybe I shouldn't worry about that too much? :)

I love harvesting baby veggies this way too

I'm doing this this year... Fingers crossed. I'm a city mouse 😢 Hopefully it will work for container gardening too...

lve multi sowed a lot more things this year a good way i must admit

Following here from Brazil

Thank you I just separated my leeks but they aren't doing very well. I'm gonna try that now.

Thanks for sharing your videos I learn so much! Sound was off

I LOVE your videos, I can watch them all day long. I've probably watched your propagation videos 10+ times. But sadly these last two lack the usual pristine quality that you've got us used to over the years, both on video and audio quality. I hope you can soon get back to the usual video recording equipment. Greetings from locked down Italy!

I noticed your clothing and I thought, how can it be warmer in England than in Los Angeles??? 😂 anyway, I previously asked if you could multisow swede and then I later had a good laugh when I saw another video and your swede are the size of enormous grapefruit! 😲No wonder you don’t recommend multi-sowing Swede. In the United States, they sell them the size of apples or large beets. Thanks for giving us a new video in this crazy time. Cheers!

Charles, do you grow strawberries? If so, id love to see how you handle those! Thanks for your videos; they have helped me so much!

Excellent, was concerned about my clustered tomato seedlings (I just buried the seed masses in mulch). Ones I then transplanted didn't prosper. I guess I should train the vines to separate poles? great stuff!

I like to do radishes with my beets. by the time we pull the radishes, the beets need the room! Grow on!

Wish my knees were as good as yours.

I love the pure content in your videos but the last ones has very low volume.

Thanks Charles; thanks Stephanie. What's a little volume issue compared to everything that's going on right now? Thanks for your knowledge and contribution. Loving your book and diary by the way.

Dear Charles, good morning. Watching your channel again....but I cannot hear your voice in this video....I love veg...🌱

I overwintered some white Lisbon and also some boltardy beetroot, they survived and did surprisingly well over winter -this year I intend to plant a LOT more to overwinter

Hi Charles, I love your videos and I’ve been watching you for years. You have been the inspiration behind a lot of my gardens. When it comes to bunch planting radishes, do you find all varieties do this well or are there certain types of radish that do better? I find my French breakfast faddish don’t this very well. Thanks Charles, your garden is absolutely gorgeous as always 🙏🏻🙌🏻

MULTI-SEWING IS LIKE SETTING UP A VEGETABLE VENDING MACHINE IN YOUR GARDEN FOR THE SEASON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good to see new video unable to hearing a word

Charles you make it all look so easy, got inspired and with great enthusiasm started multlisowing beats,peas, radishes and onions...but instead of being able to harvest like you...my beats and peas were enjoyed by mice/birds I guess and no sign of onions yet after a few weeks and only few radishes have shown up...yes, I don't have a very good compost layer like yours but the soil is virgin and nutrient rich...seed is not a problem as bought from reputed company and they are in date...not sure what's happening...help please...

Cabin Talk 💛

Great advise Charles. What lens are normally suing to film your videos? I love the idea, I'll have to try it for my fall radishes.

All of this looks super interesting! Wish I could hear you!!

I’m following you Charles and today I was picking from my multi sowed raddishes , my lettuces are coming on nicely too, and as for my beetroots in one raised bed without the horse man growing quite well although it did have a layer of Well rotted manure applied in the Autumn but in another bed I have the same multi grown beetroot planted through horse manure applied in October, looks like they are struggling a little and all the tiny leaves are a red/ purple colour! Any idea why this would be Charles ? Anyway the weather is now improving and things will soon be taking off! Keep safe Charles, see you in the next video! 👍

Glad to hear leeks are patchy!! I sowed bleu de solaise in trays but was wondering if this variety is suitable to push into winter? It's the only variety I could get my hands on right now

Love you Charles..can I come live with you....I'll help with the garden for free just kidding...not really....could we have Chickens?

Another question.. I am planing out our garden for this year. I'm going to do a plot about 20 ft x 40 ft ish.. with different size little planting areas in it. Walk ways about 1ft wide between each one.. Would 3 x 3 sections in it be to small? Some of them will be 3 ft x 5 ft and potatoes I think I will do 4ft by 4 ft sections.

Another great video. I'd love to see how you edge your beds to stop any invasive weeds/grass from growing into them. I've tried weed membranes, planks of wood, edging with a spade but nothing gives it the finish I'm looking for. What do you do Charles?

What do you think of starting seeds in peat pots that expand with initial watering ? Also , since I don't have a greenhouse ,and our nights are still so cold , how long do I leave my seedlings under grow lights in the house before gardening them off outdoors ?

Volume fine for me 👍🏼

Pro tip use captions

Hello Charles, I really like your videos and your instructions. I cultivate a lot in buckets in my little garden. Are there similar methods for this?

Charles - where do you get your watering cans ????? They look like they are the absolute best !

I love the idea of multi-sowing! Do the plants take a little longer to mature when multi-sown? I feel like your U.K. climate works really great for it - slow steady increase and decrease in temperatures, never super hot. I feel like here in Northern Illinois, U.S. our temperature changes are more drastic (early spring is a raging battle between winter and early summer temperatures, late spring lasts about 4 days, summer can get pretty hot 30C and higher, autumn can come crashing down suddenly going from 25C to 2C in a matter of a week, then going back up to 7C or 10C). I'd like to do an experiment this year and test multi-sown vs. single-sown. What would you recommend as the best test subject plants for such a test?

Thank you Charles! Easy to adjust the sound, don't worry. And much improved filming since last vid, go Steph! Too much movement makes it hard to watch, much better now.

Thanks for the videos. I'm just starting to harvest some of my senshyu onions as spring onions. Worked well the last two years but something ate a lot of them when I planted last autumn. Is that an aeroplane?

🤠Having finished my online courses (brilliant content and presentation) I am now planning for this year’s garden. I have Charles’ online planting calendar and understand that it is for your location at Somerset and we share the same plant hardiness zone (8a). However the similarities seem to differ from there. My latitude is 45 north, yours is 49 north My last frost (50% probability) 4/28 yours 3/21 (based on flawed research?) My first frost (50% probability) 10/18 yours 10/15 (?) I have much warmer weather after spring rains into mid-May many days mid-70s to mid-80s + F and 25+ days 95+ running into September. (Had 116’ day in July 2021!) I know Charles considers many other factors when creating his planting calendar. I’m wondering what adjustments to make for my location (maybe moving everything back a month in spring?-seems like a lot.) While having similar light early spring I will be getting LESS light later in the spring where you will have about 1 more hour by summer solstice. Spring light into mid-late May tends to be behind the clouds-I am about 70 miles East from the Pacific Ocean with a low mountain range between. Plenty of rain till about mid-May and starting about mid-June very little rain, but pretty much full sun until late September. The significant rains return in November. Semi oceanic/Mediterranean climate model. I will sew under cover and plan to use row covers for a period after planting out. A goal would be to succession plant for 2nd/3rd crops if possible. I know Charles is pretty busy. If he has an opportunity to share his thoughts about planting calendar adjustments I would sincerely appreciate it.

Have to try multisow like this. What would be a good vegetable to sow like this in the greenhouse this month?
