Summer Gardening Hacks: LATE SUMMER SEED SOWING

Рет қаралды 88,904

Bunny explains why Late Summer is a great time to sow many veg & herb seeds as well as flowers - hardy annuals, biennials and perennials.
By late summer many Spring-grown crops are bolting and going to seed, so it's a perfect time to replenish them while the weather's still warm enough to germinate a fresh crop. Late summer sowing lets you enjoy fresh produce from the garden until Christmas and beyond.
Bunny also makes Late Summer sowings of her favourite flowers - a great way to get well ahead for the following Spring and enjoy early flowering plants.
This is the second film in a series of three "Summer Gardening Hacks" videos, filmed for
The Telegraph Live.

In late summer I sow Sweet William seeds from spent pods I collected in July, and I sow them in big trays. I don't bother thinning them or pricking out, I leave them to it until they fill the tray densely, and the soil/compost base is full of root. Then I turn the whole thing out like a sheet of turf, and cut it into 30 squares with scissors and plant them They're as tough as old boots, and give such a beautiful display.

I must say, I am becoming a fan girl! I have watched almost everything. In the US (Texas) we seem to be all about grass and a border or two. Your lovely tours of gardens gives me so much to think about in dividing my yard into "rooms". Learned about you through the interview with Charles D.

Wonderful inspiration - thank you. I am in Burnaby, British Columbia Canada and our weather is very similar. I have sown loads of seeds for fall and winter but will endeavour to find some of the Italian vegetables that you mentioned. I like nothing better than harvesting our produce for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners - one year I had to dig through a bit of snow in order to pick the turnips. Most people here stop gardening at the end of summer but we keep it going all year. I was fortunate to get some 9 star Broccoli seeds from Cork, Ireland so am looking forward to cauliflower next February. Love your videos - so informative and inspiring!

It does depend on the time of sowing in the uk sowing in late summer slows bolting, perpetual spinach is really a chard, and sown in late summer you can usually get well over 12 months of cropping, keep cutting it though to keep the young leaves coming. 🐇

Hello! Did you say that your chard plants will last as cut and come again over a few years? I love chard and use it all the time. I usually pull the plants and re sow every year. Would they not go to seed the 2 N’d year? Thanks in advance.

Here in Texas, I barely survive August and September. Then last February we had an arctic blast that broke our electric grid. Our weather has certainly become interesting lately and not in a good way. We are currently hosting friends from New Orleans evacuated from Ida. When reporters say there's no electricity, they also mean there is no safe water or working sewage system. No electricity, no water pumps.

I get Manor Welding or Gedding Mill to make metal items - pots, pergolas, furniture etc to my designs. They are galvanised ( hot dipped galvanised) and acid etched so need no maintenance, are left out permanently and don’t rust.🐇

Hi Bunny, Have you tried sowing your peas and beans between sheets of kitchen roll soaked in a shallow dish on the windowsill (rather like cress)? I then transfer them once the germination has happened and the root has emerged. The mice don't seem to go for them quite as much once the germination has happened.

@clairelarson2068 2 жыл бұрын

This is off this topic, but your comments in previous videos about the "thousand trees" you first planted when you moved there have me intensely curious to know varieties and spacing, as I also struggle with wind and alkaline, sandy soil. I suspect some varieties will not grow here (4100 ft, zone 4), but suggestions would give me a start. It's a wedge-shape, about 2 acres, so it will take many trees to make a difference (but my pocketbook hopes not a thousand).

@bunnyguinness 2 жыл бұрын

I planted at close centres around 2m, the idea being that they force each other upwards as in standard forestry planting. All are bare root and small when purchased around 1’ -2’ high, with no stake just rabbit proof guards. All were native mainly acer campestre, fraxinus excelsior and prunus avium. As you are zone 4 you are much colder than uk, maybe Crataegus crus galli and Scots pine? If you keep a circle 1m diameter free of weeds and grass and just have mulch there for first 3 years they will grow around 70% faster as they have less competition for water. Add a thick mulch to help keep water in too. Good luck, get them in ASAP and you’ll quickly reap the rewards🐇

@@bunnyguinness Thank you! Especially about the spacing, as I'd not realized so close, but I do want that upward growth, so good to know.

could u use empty egg cartons?

@bunnyguinness 2 жыл бұрын

You can do but the advantage of the plug trays is the big holes in the base, it makes them really easy to push out. Also if you put the trays on capillary matting it means you don’t have to water them so often. 🐇
