Hello Cliff and Diane, helpful advice as always thank you. The grapes look to be doing well as are the blackberries. Wonderful harvest of plums and peppers. Take care and have a good week.
Hi Cliff and Dianne, I missed you. Wow what beautiful peppers and the grapes are looking great. Thankyou for today's video. Always looking forward to your very useful info and inspiration. God bless.
Naughty corner for Diane 😂😂 , my blueberry plant needs pruning look forward to you doing that not sure how to tackle it and will probably end up butchering it 🙄 , Lovely video both 👍
Haven't yet got my garlic in the ground, it's just been too wet, hopefully tomorrow 🤞. I have saved my own cloves, for the last 5 years and it always does well. Jo Devon 🙂
Glad your back Cliff, great to see another video from you both! Thanks for sharing. Quite the pepper harvest you had there. What will you make with those?
Dear Cliff and Diane and thanks for the video. Wow, that was early to plant garlic. I don't plant garlic until November or when frost is expected. I don't want them to come up until spring. I grow a hardneck variety from Ukraine. They get very big cloves. The advantage of hardnecks is that you can have a first harvest of scapes, which is a delicacy. Could the fact that you plant the garlic so early be the reason why your garlic are suffering from rust? Just a thought.... Lovely harvest of peppers👍 Have a nice week and take care both of you.
Hi Benni, I always plant the garlic end of September, harvest July. I think It could be our wetter winter/ Spring could be the cause of the rust on the garden. I could spray but prefer not to. Thanks for watching regards from us both
Thanks for showing the grapes, I hope to have some next year. I hot hammered by blight, managed to save a few tomatoes to can but very sad state in all. Do you grow any squashes other than pumpkin?
Hi hevchip sorry to hear about the blight hitting your crop, so devastating after all the hard work. I lost all my pumpkins they germinated well and got eaten by the slugs, I did plant squashes they went the same way regards Cliff.
Hello Cliff and Diane. Lovely to see what is going on in your garden. Garlic is so quick growing once it is planted. It's amazing how fast they come up. Your pepper harvest is great. Diane has her work cut out with all that produce laugh. Take care, the both of you, Elaine 🌱🍇🍇
Hi Cliff and Dianne, thank you for yet another great information packed video. I plan to plant my garlic in a week or two, when I've finished harvesting my cabbage, I planted some new autumn raspberries this year and I allowed them to fruit a couple of raspberries each. Wow! they were delicious and large. I am- looking forward to next year when the plants are mature and settled in. I think the variety is called Joan? Happy gardening 🙂
Lovely harvest Clifford and Diane, hope you're keeping well 😊. I'd like to ask your advice regarding the grapevines if I may, I'm building a wooden trellis frame, big like yours, and was wondering if linseed oil will affect the young grapevines I have to plant either end??? Thank you 😁🌱☀️
Hiya Cliff and Diane, must say how clean and unmarked your produce are and looking really tasty! Looking forward to your next video, keep warm and safe! 👍👍…Dave
Some lovely peppers there cliff wow. Planting my garlic next week. I always get rust on them does rust affect the plant cliff. Weather is unreal today here in whitby rain all day. Take care both of you.
Another very enjoyable video. I love your method of passing on your knowledge. I've learned loads from you, but in a casual, friendly manner. Thank you.
Hi Cliff and lovely Diane Fed up with the rain its been none stop down here, We have some garlic to put in when we finally get a break in weather, Our site has a petrol chipper that you can hire for hour Be good to chip all our bits and pieces save taking to dump, those peppers and brilliant do like how you get the yellow one my favourite.
Thanks Bill&Val, the weather has been awful this year, the ground cracked open in the heat. And the last few weeks Its been too wet to walk on. I bet you will enjoy the petrol chipper, they do make a good job of bits and pieces. Tonight has been forecast our first frost, fingers crossed the tomatoes will be ok regards from us both.
Germidour is nothing about the lowest rated Garlic there is, it's only popular because it's the only Garlic people know the name of. In Russia they have the best Garlic varieties and if you watch them on youtube they call almost everything Germidour. You are planting your Garlic far too early, it only needs 120 to 150 days from planting to maturity and if what your planting is really Germidour, a white softneck artichoke variety and what you were showing looked like a hardneck sort, they are typically spring planted. I am in Poland and can plant hardneck Garlic right up untill the Beginning of May and harvest 120 days later. Your Garlic will emerge in a couple of weeks and you will struggle with Pests and Rust for 5 months. There is no benefit whatsoever in early planting Garlic, the old folklore is plant on the shortest day or before first hard frosts, that held true in the past because the cold period usually started in October and lasted through untill March, Garlic only has one true dormancy period and that is 70 days after foliar die back. They can grow garlic perpetually on the equator. Garlic will not grow in temps lower than 5c even though your garlic will emerge and grow between now and march it will not reach maturity due to the shortday length and low temperatures and what growth you do gain between now and then a spring planted Garlic will catch up with in a week or two. I see you made a video 11 months ago Planting Garlic and Onions, where is the harvesting video? don't tell me it didn't come to much, maybe because you don't know what your doing.
Hi garlicandchilipers, Germidour is a family favourite will carry on growing. Yes we didn't harvest garlic this year as like the rest of the country, we were badly flooded in the winter/spring. The garlic was under water for several days as with the rest of the alliums. To make matters worse the residue from the floods had high levels of herbicide from surrounding fields. The garlic, alliums, were completely affected, the beans and peas that we planted after were also killed off, we are waiting for test results on the bottom of the garden. As regards planting I plant end of September harvest July, have done this for 30 years and will continue. Thanks for your comment regards Cliff.
