in todays episode I make progress on the new allotment plot. After all the digging, I can officially say it's a no dig plot haha! there's been some tasks ticked off. The crops are growing so fast, I am hopeful for an abundance of harvests.
A makeover in the greenhouse also occurred this week.

When you pick lettuce put it in cold water quickly. We call it soaking the heat off. Let it sit in it for 10 minutes or so then rinse, spin, and put it in a bag with some paper towel or a small kitchen towel, into the fridge. That 10 minutes soak makes it super crunchy and the towel makes it keep for a month or even more

Hi Danny. There’s no stopping you. The new plot looks like you have had it for years rather than weeks. Lovely harvest. It’s great when they start picking up. I harvested my garlic and elephant garlic and was fairly happy with them. Also some shallots and chard. Scrum. Have a great week. Mags. 🌻😊

Danny, the different size garlics DO MAKE SENCE. When selecting the garlic cloves to plant choose the largest cloves out of the bulb. (use the small ones for cooking). The larger cloves make the larger bulb. Next year do it again and eventually your garlic bulb will be very large. Ray Delbury Sussex County NJ USA

Hey Ray. Yeah I know but I think I did plant the smaller cloves to use as green garlic but didn't get round to using them. They'll be used just the same I'm sure haha. I still have a huge bed of garlic on my old plot, it can stay there until i need to harvest it. Danny 🌱

Wow! Becoming a glazier! Good job on the greenhouse. If you want crisp lettuce, just pop it into a sink of icy water for 20-30 minutes and it should crisp right up. It also helps to harvest it first thing in the morning. I read a study from the U of Oregon today that used a soil drench of 1 part water/2 parts strongly brewed coffee and 100% of the slugs left the zone. They also tested a foliar spray of 9 parts water/1 part brewed coffee with success. I have not tried either method but they might be worth an experiment.

I'd cut all those brambles out and start again. It will give you more room to sort that old shed out. I would utilise your greenhouse while you still can.

Even though my garden is in my back yard some times I just don't want to stop and prep the lettuce I just harvested. Put a few inches of water in the bottom of a deep bucket and put the lettuce in the water in the shade. Then when I go inside, it's still firm and crispy to prep for the fridge. Wow you new plot is looking good. I'd live with the brambles for the season and reap the harvest. If they taste nice, then trim them back when they go dormant. I personally love blackberries and would probably figure out how to keep them. Instant fruit harvest. BTW I love BB, lemon and ginger jam.

I used to keep a stash of paper bags on the plot for harvesting - I quickly realised that plastic bags are more helpful to stop everything dehydrating after picking. I keep all the bags my supermarket items were wrapped in - bread/ cabbage etc - give them a quick wash and they’re good to be used again and again - keep a stash up the plot for harvesting your salads/ rhubarb/ greens etc. Also chuck the salad leaves in some cold water both when you get home but also to perk it back up again just before you eat it. ❤

How 😎 Cool is that-you have an ice cream truck come around!!🎉 The consensus is out-Cut the messy brambles down. Dig out all the crap and replant more gold berries if that’s what you love. We just had our first taste of honeyberries and we will be planting more!!🎉 Delish! Don’t know if you have them where you are, but highly suggest to get some if you do. I’m with Tony on take a cooler to take lettuce home. We had loads of rain a couple weeks ago and cool weather also. The peppers and a few others were taking on a lime green color. I gave them all a bit of a nitrogen boost and now we will head into at least 3 super hot days of 90+F and humidity. Rain early morning and appears most of the week. So we’ve been racing to get the heavy jobs off our list. Things like mulch and covering pathways to protect from heat. And getting the rest of plants and seeds in. Kudos to you on greenhouse job!

Chop that messy bushy block on its head it will just get bigger. Surely you’re not eating all those potatoes in one meal Danny. Get a net wash bag affray washing the lettuce in cold water put it in the bag zip up and hold it like a windmill swing it high in air to get water out. I got that from you tuber channel andy160676. Brilliant dries better than those lettuce machines. then if storing put it in like typer wear container on top of paper towel keeps much better in fridge. Very cold and wet still very frustrating garden wise.

Thank you for the tips! I'll give them a go! The tank will eventually either be attached to the new shed and covered with a cladding or put further back behind the greenhouse. Danny 🌱

Could you leave some brambles. Invaluable for bumble, honey bees etc and home to hedgehogs.

Sadly the allotment rules don't allow them to grow like that. We are surrounded by 6foot deep hedgerows of brambles etc.. so the bees always benefit from our site thankfully!

Put your salad in a bag with a little cold water and pop it in the fridge for a bit, when you get home, and Bob's your uncle. Id wait for the blackberry harvest and freeze those for eating later before you cut back that area. Its not long for the blackberry harvest now. And then you have that time to get another poject done, too. P.s. im living the galvanized bowl. ❤

Thank you Catherine! Yeah you're right about the blackberries. I'm holding out... but also I need to get the shed sorted. It's a toughy! We shall see. Thank you I'm really pleased with the new planter. Danny 🌱

Hello Danny, to keep produce fresh, how about to compliment your 12v system, a 12V fridge from Halfords or other suppliers, I’ve got one and it’s a hot and cold box, it’s very good, Andy

Hey Andy! I actually have a Halfords one myself! Great aren't they! But I tend to use it when camping too. May consider one for the plot too. Danny 🌱

Danny when you freeze the mangetout do you blanch them or just freeze please thanks
@TheGrowUpChannel
@TheGrowUpChannel 17 күн бұрын
That's a great question! I have done both! But I've found blanching them and then straight into icy water.. then onto a baking tray to freeze.. then popped into a sandwich bag works for me. But sometimes I just rinse and pop in the freezer, as they won't be in there long haha! But if I want them for winter I definitely blanche. Danny 🌱

Danny, did you have any problems being accepted for rehousing hedgehogs? Because our local Hedgehog rescue centre doesn't live rehousing hedgehogs on allotments where weed killers may be used.

Hello 👋🏻 enjoying a watch on a slow Sunday morning. Quite jel of all of your metal veg beds - your onion and lettuce bed is looking marvellous, as are your plots in general! Looking forward to catching up ok more of your videos ☺️ Ps you’ve made me think about my nan’s Welsh cakes 🤤 & made me feel better about my garlic harvest 🧄

Hello! Lovely to see you here. The metal raised beds are an investment & and weren't bought altogether, haha! Oh, a nans welshcakes can't even be compared. Right?! Garlic harvests are always hit & miss. It's 8 or 9 months in the ground with many variables to tackle the crop... but we plod on haha. Happy Sunday! Danny 🌱🌼
