Autumn Improvements at the allotment | Malvern 2024 | Pumpkin Picking 

Haha, loved that train and the pumpkin patch, great fun.

Lovely pumpkins, Danny, and having a family trip out on the pumpkin patchnplus having beautiful weather for it is wonderful to see 😊💚🌿

Great job! It is so hilarious to see how excited you are about getting your new polytunnel. You have just a big grin from ear to ear! 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Danny, what a lovely week you've had. Lots of socialising and gardening. A perfect combination. You've got loads done on the plot and it will soon be polytunnel time. Have an awesome week ahead xx

Nice looking place! I have a secluded 130 feet by 130 feet Louisiana lot surrounded by trees with a 30 ft camper to live in and I`ve been cramming everything I can into the space including over a dozen fruit trees and little garden patches everywhere. In winter the soil mounds under the fig trees are used for leafy greens and in spring I plant vining Red Ripper cow peas around the trees and keep them trained to stay on the ground. The wild bunnies love the leaves but their pruning doesn`t harm them but it keeps them away from my main vegetable garden and I get a pea harvest late into fall. Plus they add nitrogen and drink up excess water from rains to improve the sweetness of the ripe figs. I mow over them after the first frost and mulch the trees with the leaves and vines.

Lovely to see you having some great days out with friends and family Danny. Your new tunnel is going to look brilliant. Fantastic pumpkin harvest from your patch. Will be good to see the difference between the shallot's you grow inside and out.

It's all coming along so well, Danny and a fantastic pumpkin harvest ☺️👍

Nice to see everyone at Malvern show... Steve Colwell

The fall clean up of all the beds is so satisfying. That pumpkin patch looked like a good one. We've got a big one near me, and I've never been. That might be something I'll need to do this year. It looks like the Malvern show was a success, except for the ripped jeans incident, lol. Thanks for sharing, Danny.

Malvern looks amazing! Love your ideas with the ribbon too so you can visualise everything. Have a great weekend 🫶

Another great video Danny , thank you for your time and thank you Tony for the free membership kind regards Val

We have squash vine borers in Louisiana and only certain things like Butternut Squash do well here. I used to collect uncarved Halloween pumpkins people throw away and roast them with brown sugar and cinnamon. I have no oven now and will have to find a good way to use rice cookers to prepare my Butternut Squash harvest.

If I didnt feel autumnal before I do now! Great harvest of pumpkins Danny, loved the Malvern footage too 😊

best bit about Savoy is the leaves holdmore Gravy than normal cabbage 🤣

I think another Polytunnel is probably the best option for the empty space where the old tunnel was😁.

You should have got into the barrel Danny as it would have been a barrel of laughs for us 😆.

Malvern looked lovely. So many familiar faces. Not long now until the polytunnel arrives. You might have convinced me to try some cabbage over winter

Great video Danny (as ever). I bet Leo loved the pumpkin patch! Haydn

Those poles are brilliant, Danny. Great idea.

Fab video and lots getting done, can't wait for the tunnel tour 😁

Hi Danny xx love the adventures you have xxx and all the preparing for spring xx🌈🌈🌈🌈🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧

Such a busy a wonderful video, Danny! You have done loads of work here. I just love the metal rods you got to make higher cage for the sprouts! I could really do with some of those. If they have them at Malvern in the Spring, you’ll have to point me in the right direction! So great to meet you and enjoy my first autumn show! I am going with smaller pumpkin varieties next year too, so if you have any faves, let me know 😊🎃 Love a pumpkin farm trip. We are off to our local one later in the month and we have been going since my youngest was still in bump 🤰🏼 lovely to see the beautiful drive through the Welsh countryside too 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Thanks for another great video. Have a wonderful week ahead and I look forward to catching up on the live later in the week after I’ve finished work - I’ll get my boys listening in too 😊🪴💚

Oh now snap with the pumpkins - what are the pretty shaped ones you pop in the barrow first? Good to see the rods you bought from Malvern in action. Re: trousers - would you like me to send you a patch to stop the draught? 😅

The greenhouse-I would probably move it. Those trees look like they will get bigger and if they break, then quite a mess. Even if using it for a shade greenhouse, then just use shade cloth. I find my attached leanto greenhouse very handy on the south side of garden shed. Yes, Malvern looked like fun minus the rain 😏 and I take it this pants thing 🤭 or similar has happened before? 😄 It’s close to frost maybe tonight, but the high temps will remain after Monday. It’s been a long season so far with no frost and no rain again. Busy keeping things watered before ground freezes.

Yes, you never have enough beans. I harvested a lot this year but I'm planning to grow more next year 🌝

Exciting times with the new tunnel arriving 👏. Looks like you had a great time at Malvern, hope to catch you next time. Funny incident with your jeans…. Must have been one hell of a fart!! 🤣🤣🤣

Malvern looked a good laugh and now I now what the flasher comments were about 😂🤣😂

One year I intend to do a few RHS Shows, living in New Zealand Spring shows are better for me.

Looks like sprouting broccoli.

Another great video Danny full of useful information - I think the mystery plant might be a sprouting broccoli - I grow them for the leaves - yummy when sautéed in butter - Keep us posted if you find out exactly which plant it is. 🌱🌸

Just love pumpkin season

Learn the lesson Danny - take spare trousers😊Lovely pumpkin harvest.

Hi Danny I had a squash vine it give me one squash and it looks like a pumpkin very round but it was so pretty and sweet, and also a watermelon vine also one but taste good so I’m thankful have another watermelon vine it have on two so hopefully those stay on one is much bigger than the other, great pumpkin harvest from your plot and can’t wait to see your project going up ❤❤❤

Nice one buddy. The jacket comes off - I hope you changed your trousers! Savoy is my favourite too. Gotta say, there were a few weird channels from Wales at Malvern! My wallet is still moaning, Danny, and it will only be happy when it seeks revenge in Spring LOL

Fab video as always Danny ❤ Enjoyed your Malvern update, what a fab day we had didn't we, especially meeting up with the other gardening RU-vidrs. You splitting your trousers and I missed it! 😂 Can't believe you showed a close up on your Live show when you were trying to hide it all day 🤭😂 Wow so many pumpkins you grew and harvested. Thanks for the pumpkins for my soup. Your sprouts look fabulous, you'll certainly have some for Xmas if not before. Thanks for picking up some cauliflower and broccoli 🥦 plants for us at the garden centre. Those metal steaks worked really well to put bird netting over your sprouts and mystery brassicas. I wonder what they are 🤔😂 Remember we're going to have a blackberry bush clearing party 🎉🥳😂 Pumpkin 🎃 picking with Leo and family, it looked fun. So nice to see Leo back in your video, hes a little star ❤ x

Loved seeing all the Malvern footage ❤ a great day. Great upload Danny

The cable ties might fix your trousers Danny😉.

Danny do you guys have PVC pipe over there? If you do look up how to use it in the garden to make row covers. It very cheap and last forever and there are SO MANY ways to use it. Garden is looking good.

id move your green house to the other plot then you can put all the plants that your going to plant on that side in it

What a great video. Wow, I’m tired just watching! I do like those stakes, although not enough to regret buying any… YET 😂 The Malvern footage was brilliant. Thank you for the mentions. I see we both have the same idea about planting some crops inside and outside to compare their success, only it’s brassicas for me not shallots. ☺️ So many plans and so much cleared. I can see how much the greenhouse conundrum is playing on your mind. It’s so difficult to decide. What I will say though, is if you do use the greenhouse as well you’ll find it a pain to have to move seedlings between the two plots. It drove me made shifting stuff out to the polytunnel to grow on. Not a big walk, but inconvenient. Keeping them closer to each other makes sense. Your greenhouse will be warmer overnight in the depth of winter too, significantly, so using it for more tender seedlings makes far more sense. I wouldn’t be without both. Pumpkin picking was a fab afternoon out. Lovely to Leo and family again. What a beautiful place

Great seeing a tidy up going on, ‘tis the season for it. Tree cabbage?? In the bed with the sprouts?? Sick of the white fly in my large brassicas cage…… maybe time for it to go? Great Malvern footage 😂 Praying for good weather for poly tunnel day!! Keep smiling Allie & Tricia xx

Wow what a good little harvest of squash Danny. Can’t wait to see the poly. Loved you Malvern pics. I watched Kerry’s and Annie’s pics too there was quite a lot of you now seems to draw more and more of you. There are one or two I don’t recognise so I prob don’t follow and not found their channels yet. I would have loved to come too. I havnt been able to garden this last season as I am not at home my daughter had a stroke at 39 and is paralysed down left side so I am looking after her 24/7 can’t Lea ve her as I have my 7 year old grandaughter. It happened in may. My husband stanley planted out what plants I grew that didn’t die but loads got eaten. But we had a poly of toms and raspberries apple blackberries pears badgers ate sweetcorn. Oh we had beetroot. No brassicas or parsnips or carrots😣but I will try to grow plants again in January as don’t know how long recovery will be. Prob 1-2 years. 🙏🏻anyway thanks again Danny for your videos👍

U were so lucky finding them spare plug plants like couliflowers in the garden centre, they isn't many left. Taking about garden centre there is a lovely pumpkin patch by Abergavenny garden centre this year 😊

Danny can’t see the space between but I’d move the greenhouse pre installation of poly tunnel if you will need to move it. Glass and polytunnel risk on moving oops. Plus the poly will shade the sun from the glasshouse due to the height. It’s a cute glasshouse and knowing you you will grow more and need it. Love the film of Malvern and seeing everyone lovely to see was it Tony’s wife, lovely face I take it she is Welsh as she looks to be. Did anyone win a prize Danny re hoops I use that metal bar that goes rusty they come in different lengths I poke in ground then my poly pipe over top means I can have any height I want and lasts years. I even used for the top section of old cheap Poly shed so have roof type shape on legs great for taller brassicas.

You’re early! Fab vlog as usual. Malvern looked amazing, great fun to all meet up too. Can’t wait to see what you do with the new poly ❤

I can't wait to see the massive new tunnel and getting everything ready for next year now will pay off in the long run.

Hi Danny, Malvern looks lovely. All your ground is ready for your polytunnel! Well done! I have the same hoops and have used green coated 6ft metal poles to raise them up. Let's hope First Tunnels come back to you with a solution🤞 My polytunnel was built in Oct 3 years?ago and it was pouring down with rain. They turned up, 3 men and they sat off in my hubby's greenhouse, I gave them 3 chairs to sit on. Made them hot drinks whilst I sheltered in my shed. They were brilliant but very wet, bless them ❤ your polytunnel buikd will go ahead and I'm looking foward to seeing it built. lovely plot update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Thank you for the garlic and the lovely daffodil bulbs. They are going to look beautiful next year.

The casserole recipe: 2 onions🧅🧅, just not the Malvern size! Hey to all YT'ers at Malvern ☔. Next time, maybe bring an extra pair of 👖in the🎒. Thank you for sharing 🛣the road trip/🎃pumpkin picking. Happy autumn gardening 🍃🍂🍁🥦

Wow what a full and fun video. 😊 love the net cage you built. Far more practical than the short oval ring type that’s only good for short plants. You could design and patent it. Looks like a wonderful time at Malvern 😂 poor Danny split his pants. You had to make the day more exciting eh 😂. 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

u be so glad of your new polytunnel you are positively beaming x planted my garlic 4 weeks ago already 14" high lol but spring onions are skinny

Thanks for a great video Danny. Always love the music you choose. I loved the garden centre you visited. Much better than the one I go to. What is the garden centre called please? So pleasd you had a great time t Malvern. I am hoping to go there next year, now i know that dogs are allowed in on the Sunday I would love to visit it. Cheers. Happy gardening.

Hi Danny, every time I watch your channel I think I know where you are, the mountain behind you looks so familiar. Which Welsh valley are you in? I’m in Blaenau Gwent but can’t find an allotment anywhere near do have to make do with pots in the garden, which my hubby has banned me from buying any more 😢😢😢😢love your channel xx

Nice update Danny I think the plant was a sprouting broccoli should harvest it in spring

Feeling I like I missed out on Malvern!! ... goes to block the Spring show out of my diary now 🏃🏼‍♀

Nice to finally meet you

Was your wardrobe malfunction staged so you could enter the largest cucumber division ? Thanks for the tour Danny, very interesting. I never knew banana shallots could be grown from sets like regular ones , I thought they only grew from seed .

Lots going on in this video Danny. Glad you had a good time in Malvern. That baby pumpkin was very good 👍🏻 Lots of good work on the plot as well, especially getting the polytunnel area ready. Those hoop stakes are such a good idea, makes your very own brassica cage. Looks like you all had fun at the pumpkin farm. Hope the winds and storms coming don’t mess up the polytunnel build too much.

I have had the same trouble germinating cabbages, broccoli and sugar snap peas. I think it is just one of those years. Malvern looked fun! Shame about the trousers. That must of hurt. Those canes look nice. We got blight a couple of days ago so need to take down the tomatoes and hope they ripen indoors. So early for us. Looked like you guys had a good time at the pumpkin patch. You didn't fancy a ride in the water barrel? Hopefully the storm isn't too bad next week. I bet you are counting down the days until you get the poly up! Have a great week!

Danny, look at the NOAA map. You may have a tropical storm heading to Wales and the UK as well as Northern Europe. It is, currently, quite a powerful storm. If you have items vulnerable to wind or heavy rain, better to protect them than lose them. Weird weather continues. 😳🙄

Fab video as usual! I just signed my lot agreement today! Around 200square metres. Excited but overwhelmed - any advice on new starters would be super useful :). Almost tempted to start a channel to show from the very start, just too shy :D

Your mystery plant looks like one that Jesse from Plot 37 grew from seeds that she got on her holiday last year. Cavalinero, or something like that?

Could that green plant in with your sprouts be a spigarello ? Type of kale, looks like mine 🤷‍♀️. X

❤

Great pumpkin harvest! What are the green nobly ones called?

Hi Danny... I was just wondering where you got you weed membrane from that you have covered the ground where the new tunnel so going? Thanks

hi where do you get your weed matting thingmabob from? the stuff I get from b n m is useless and all tears apart after a couple of months,, plus super excited to see the huge polly and is that mystery plant a purple broc?

👍❤❤❤❤🎃🎃🎃🎃

Mystery plant is Spigariello?

🎃❤
