Tayberries are amazing fruits bit more softer to harvest but picked carefully are worth the effort

I'll have to try runners. I'm experimenting by breaking the rules and growing French beans in Scotland! it's somewhat successful but I get the feeling runner beans will be much more at home here :)

Peach looks fantastic, sadly even in a polytunnel I guess its been a bit cold this year for a load of the semi tropical fruits a vegetables. BTW did you see any flower buds on your pineapple guava plants this summer or are they still too small ?

You're doing pretty good! I'm just now getting tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers on my plants. Beautiful grapes you have. Have a fantastic week 😊

Lots looking good in there Dan. I've got 4 bitter gourds - one in the polytunnel, one by a window indoors and two outside. Despite having lots of success growing them outside in the past, this year they are (unsurprisingly considering the weather) looking a bit haggard. Have struggled with the aubergines this year, but finally getting some fruit. Blueberries doing well. Raspberries suffering. Lots either wilting or the leaves are browning and collapsing.

I just did that in a wooden pot a month ago..! I can see positive results..! Thank you so much for all your information😊

Been rather a disaster in my tunnel this year, and outside. Slugs and snails combined with very poor growth. Lots of peppers doing nothing, some still only five or six inches high, despite being planted in a heated propagator in late January. Utterly rubbish. And don’t get me started on the squashes. Big healthy plants, planted outside mid May, destroyed by slugs. I like the peach tree idea - I might go with a fig too, as love figs. I presume they’re in the ground and not in pots?

i planted spring onion and onion near my tomatoes and the aphids havenot touched the tomatoes, they have all gone for the spring onion and onions.

Howdy, Dan! Lovely peaches!😋 Nice look about your polly tunnel.😃

Failure, and success is my answer to your question. I believe it is possible to experience both failure, and success, and this is what I see on your video. If everything you try to grow becomes unhealthy, or dies then I believe this would be a complete failure. Regarding the melon plant, I think you should not expect something to happen on it is own. If pollination is not done then I do not think you will get any melons. I know 2, or 3 different options exist, for pollinating flowers that produces food. I think it is possible depending on what you choose to grow then you could get a little bit of food such as in the melon family, or nothing at all, and if something does grow then there is a possibility that it can become unhealthy.

Nice crop of peaches Dan, I'd call that a success! I hope your nectarine tree recovers 🤞. I have a 'Lord Napier' nectarine tree growing in a pot in my greenhouse, with 2 fruits holding on, hopefully they will ripen 🤞

Peaches look scrummy. I am slowly getting there with my garden . Tried out sweetcorn this year & the earwigs enjoyed them mostly & tried peas , which now I know the Cabbage White Butterfly lays eggs , although the caterpillars are quite cute , ended up in my compost heap 😊 . Hoping to get a Greenhouse next year , as wanted my shed first , which I have now got ☺️. Happy growing Dan 😀

I’d say it was a success Dan!, those peaches, wow, anymore and you’d be getting a visit from Mr Delmonte 😂. Good job Dan 😊

I'm also growing sugar baby watermelons, In an old commercial greenhouse with a lot of glass missing. The vines took ages to start growing properly, and the flowers were just falling off constantly. I think I have 2 fruit set between 5 plants, It's the first time I've grown them and im assuming it just isnt warm enough this year for them

Looks like a nice crop considering the crappy summer

All things being equal I'd say you're doing as well as can be. Seems everyone's tomatoes are late. Outside my blueberry bushes appeared to die/entered autumnal sleep just as they were forming berries. Thus no crop this year & oddly fresh green shoots/leaves this week.The EMF environment is also a bit concerning apart from the obscured sun.

In Va USA, have peach trees on property am not in bragging . They seem to be everywhere and one was so full of fruit it cracked the top main limb. Am thankful they are here some are very tall so your videos will and are helpful to keep these trees going Thank you

Looking good Dan!

Thank you for sharing. What do you do with all those peaches?🍑 Dehydrate maybe ?I have a peach tree outside but nothing on it so just thinking I could fashion a cover from my old polytunnel.

My grape varieties are ‘Bianca’ (white) and ‘Dornfelder’ (red). Do you think they’re good varieties to grow?

wow your peach tree is loaded ...my peach has about 50 peach this year 🍑

Very interesting Dan, I have 6 varieties of tomatoes on the go in my polytunnel and I only picked my first red ones this week, plently of large green ones which hopefully will be ready in the next week or so. Very poor results with my melons this year, only 5 melons growing from 6 plants when I would expect at least 3 per plant. Growing Blacktail mountain for the first time this year after seeing your results last year, only one melon fruiting currently about 150mm in diameter. relativrely poor crop from raspberries this year altough strawberries have done well. Overall I think the poorer results this year have been down to poor light levels and relatively cool conditions.

Yeah Dan it’s not been a great year for tomato’s. I was feeding mine the wrong fertiliser as well so that probably didn’t help

I was inspired by your trees in the polytunnel and did the same this year.. my peach tree has about 12 peaches on but nothing on my nectarine.. the trees are about 6ft now but still thin as only young trees.. I’d be interested to know how often you water them of at all? Also a video on how you maintain the size of them would be great as they are now just touching the roof with some spindly branches.. I’m much looking forward to eating a home grown peach 😊 My melons and watermelons are much behind this year in the greenhouse.. weather has just been miserable for the most part here in the midlands. Have a good weekend mate ✌️

Hi Dan I am new to gardening and am thinking of getting a poly tunnel, can you recommend a brand as i have heard that some aren’t worth bothering with also is a 10ft one too ambitious for a beginner? Thanks. Love your videos 👍

How does the green cover work?

Your poly-tunnel looks fine. Perhaps a bit full but those peaches are great. Cool weather is limiting your crops this year; that’s a shame. I have some crops that usually are harvested in October. This year, the harvest has been random, just whenever it feels like it.

My garden not doing the best this year either, something's eating all my berries and cherries and tomatoes not growing, but there you go, will try more cold hardy varieties next time.

Weather has been terrible this year.

Hey Dan! Did you totally pump up your biceps prior to filming this? 💪🏻 #Jacked 😁. BJJ Sam

Greetings all. I hope you find this video informative. I have linked many videos in the description box talking about many of the crops discussed in this video in greater detail. Hopefully they will be helpful to you and others. Here is a video which may interest you. How I grow STRONG NOT LEGGY tomato plants kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etBmbLOgmr_Sj30.html

i got Kishmich seedless. very nice grape

Thank you for the tips! I have some sprouts that I planted inside, but they are all falling over! I will follow your lead tonight and compact and add more soil for support.

Thanks 👍

Hi Dan, in a similar position to you (peach tree in the Polly tunnel) which is doing okay but recently got some blue berries and due to trees only getting 6 and a half hours sun.. just wondering how much sun your Polly tunnel gets a day? Cheers mate

Another awesome video! Always grateful that you don't over complicate things so other folks will have the confidence to give gardening a go 😊

Love your stuff m8

Hi Dan. Really enjoy your videos. I’m growing courgettes this year - if I allow them to grow to a marrow, can I keep the seeds to grow courgettes again next year?

We could all do with a bit compassion. Good luck with that man. 😂

The leaves are so delicious stir fried with garlic, salt and chillies

Right on! I planted some last week.

I have just planted some sprouted supermarket potatoes where I pulled up this year’s crop. I did this last year with great results so hope for the same this year😊

Spuds. Spuds and more Spuds beyond fruit they are probably the easiest crop to grow if grown in tubs, in my experience. I don’t think frost will be an issue with our now warmer climate I mean we hardly had a winter last year, and where I live in Woodford I only remember having frost on 1 or 2 days last winter and that wasn’t till after December. Keep the spuds coming Dan so versatile and filling 🌻✊🏽🌎

Howdy, Dan! 👋 Yay, for more potatoes!😋 I reuse my planting medium...have done so for years. I've never had any issues from doing so. I grow in containers. In the spring I compost in place before planting my starts...feeds the plants when their roots hit the composting material and makes for some really rich soil when I go to secession plant.👩🏾‍🌾

Something will grow for sure. About 30+ years ago in my dole days in Ireland, we were completely skint when a lone potato provided a feast. We'd chucked in out into the unkempt garden as it was old and forgotten all about it. Until hungry eyes spotted the results weeks later. All the tubers fed three hungry doleheadsa fantastic feed of home made chips. A good day, and my first harvest ;)

Hiya, Dan! Greetings from the US. 🥰🌱❤️ I laughed so hard when you mentioned your “manicured” garden. 🤣🤣🤣 I admit that I’d make more videos if I didn’t constantly feel like my garden is in perpetual disarray! I actually had a video last year where someone commented I needed to clean up my yard, and I think that may have gotten to me. 😂 Anyway, thanks for the timely video, as I’ve got a few potatoes sprouted that I need to do something with. 🥰💕

Tried this the last few years and got a few good little yields. Nothing much else seems to be growing much so why not get some more tatties.

nature grows the same thing in the same soil every year, crop rotation is unnatural

Plant some variety condom potatoes!

I’ve done this for three years and so far it’s worked well, so I can hang onto my main crop until later.
