Nice update, enjoyed that. Makes me laugh when you start munching things as you walk around - hope you can control yourself when walking down the fruit and veg aisle in the supermarket! 😀 Dixie looks lovely, and all the other trees seem to be doing well, but you'd best get that second polytunnel before you run out of space.
Great video Dan, you covered a lot of interesting material there. We all share the same issues with regard to doing our best in order to succeed. The variety of pomegranate that I bought is 'Mollar de Elche' - I couldn't remember it yesterday. For exotics, I spotted that Miracle Gro now offer a citrus/ Med. compost. I spoke to their customer services and they also suggested that using their cactus compost would also be a good idea, especially given drainage issues, for exotics. These composts are not always held in garden centres and are generally sold in small sizes. We fall short on feeds as most are water based and the plants dislike too much water. This year, I may incorporate lots of pea roots in order to bulk up Nitrate. With regard to Scotland, depending on area, they can have summer daylight hours until really late - a substantial gain on our daylight hours. What they lose on one hand they gain on another. Another idea is to plant more delicate plants at the most northerly point of a garden in order that development is delayed. I only have a short distance between my two pear trees, but a visible difference in bud burst. If frost is a risk, this technique can buy people a couple of weeks, avoiding blossom damage. Thanks Dan, you have a great collection there, can't wait to see that Dixie Red in bloom!
Forgot to say I am growing grapes up north outside never had fruit from them most of them are from the way you showed how to take the cuttings but I eat the leaves off them . & my friend has amazing vine that his great Grandfather took back from Italy many years old but the same fruit very small but still pretty to look at . Any way ta for all Peter Scotland
Nice Banana plant all looking good your coffee plant are better than mine . Just a change of conversation what do you think of the Poly tunnel you have as Aldi is selling them cheap would like to buy a bigger one prices are high up here & over the top from yout
@@homegardens7682 just been to the Chelmsford pound stretcher and they have bear root peach trees in for 4.99 seems a bit cheep to me but they look in pretty good nick
@@homegardens7682 yes I may just get myself one next time I pop in if they have any left not sour how I will protect it in winter as it will be out site
@@homegardens7682 I lived in harlow for a year or two and when my tea plant was about 3 years old it stayed out year round :) I'm SUPER jealous of your citrus and banana tree!
aye up Dan, just wondered if you could give me your 2 favourite apple varieties to grow as im looking to purchase 2 my self. im in north'ish england, rotherham, south yorkshire and considering "spartan and discovery" but am open to any nice tasting apples
The banana wont grow edible fruit, we have these in the south of France and they are massive but no edible fruit they only grow these tiny bananas that you cant eat. But if you prove me wrong I will eat my words!
Hi Dan, just going through some of your older videos. I wondered if you can help me. I bought a lord napier nectarine after watching your videos, looks fairly mature its roughly 1 and a half metre’s. I put it in my greenhouse in a 30 litre pot. It came into leaf with no flowers. Do you think i’ve done something wrong?. Did I make the mistake of a too larger pot first. Can you advise me please. When I purchased it I did ask if the tree would flower and fruit this year specifically, otherwise I would not of purchased it. Hope you can reply, it would be a massive help. I know you are very busy always. Thanks.
Greetings. This can sometimes happen, I may establish this year then put some flowers out next year. A high potassium feed could help, maybe tomato feed.
@@homegardens7682 I thought it was my internet at home but it does the same at work ( using the same samsung tablet ) , I can literally watch about 30 seconds before it starts buffering then the video goes black, I hate technology sometimes ! and yet every other video I click on plays fine. I'm going to try watching it on the work computer 🤞🤞
