@@ccamen Rats nest? Judge much? It always looked clean and cared for to me. Because it's long and curly it's unacceptable? Let's see some pictures of you so everyone can point out your fashion faults. People like you and your judgemental disposition give this world unnecessary negativity. 🙂✌❤
@@tardismole What cultures that then? Is he a practicing Rastafarian?.. its ironic that you call somebody racist for an obviously innocent off the cuff comment like that because that in itself is such a 'karen' thing to do.. why don't you call the hurt feelings police and get him banned off twitter?.. have a day off saddo
It’s pretty heartwarming to see your quiet pride in the progress of the garden. It looks fab, just in the process of bursting into productivity. Well done to you both and fingers crossed for a fruitful harvest.
Hi waw what a different man now looking very young now it better and your garden is nice and growing as well keep going what a joy to see what you plant have good day en enjoy it
Dude! You can, t be scruffy during a pod cast!...just kidding!lol! Beautiful garden! So green!!Thank you for the update! Great job on your garden!😀👍 Ausum job on the green house! You worked so hard to plan, cut and assemble it! Beautiful!!And here it is!
My brothers garden is doing better after heat over 100 fir 2 weeks. Tomatoes are turning red. We have 800 out. 200 in greenhouse. Lots of beets,onions,garlic, rhubarb,okra,turnips, squash,zucchini’s. Your wood working skills are amazing. For a moment I thought I had wrong channel. Like your hair cut. My brother hasn’t cut his hair or beard since he was 15. Have a great summer. Loving your house. You got skills in every area.
I randomly decided to get rid of my hair and went straight to a short back and sides, it felt amazing to feel cool air on my head. That was 25 years ago and I've never let it grow back. Love your videos, very inspiring, you are a very resourceful man.
I’ve been following you from Vietnam for a year now and honestly man you truly are a talented individual... very unique in your approach to things seriously when this covid situation is sorted and international travel is free again I will fly to England to meet you and see in person your farm if that’s okay with you... any all the best man keep up the hard and genius work you are doing... you are my hero truly you are bloke...
You can create little slug traps by cutting the bottom off a pop can and pour a little beer in them. The slugs love the stale beer and die when they fall into the can. Leaving your plants safe and sound.
Garden looks much neater than last year, easier to maintain without grass strips between beds, good decision. Your greenhouse is perfection. As always you amaze me, you seem to be able to turn your hand to anything. Your videos are wonderful to watch.
Lovely veg garden. Very productive 👌 An idea for the aubergine is make individual green houses for them out of 5lt water bottles, with the bottoms cut off. ✂️Hair cut is lovely too.
Chris I have to say, if you've got a small greenhouse, pots are actually an excellent way to grow tomatoes and chillis. I got loads and loads of lovely produce this year in a small space. They've given me loads of joy!
I so agree. Raised beds are good for less bending but reality is No Dig with lots of mulch is SO much easier. What do you use to deter slugs. Soapy water works here in Aus pretty well. We lost a 1/2 a small field of corn to Rats one year. VERY sad because the kids were eating it raw as it was so sweet & tender. Carrots actually hate me & my son runs me away from them. Lots of peas Yum. Our kids fresh vegetable intake increased by about 300% when they ate them straight from the garden. Well the taste is so different. Zucchini was always our best & you’ll be Amazed at what you can use them in. We plant less now. Enjoy every day
I had exactly your hairstyle, natural dreads, from teenage to mid twenties. As others said, it felt so good to let it go and have that fresh air. Your new haircut looks awesome and I think suits you more. Thanks for the continued brilliant content.
you could put a camera mounted in the corner of your greenhouse and take a few photos a day, then you'd have an amazing timelapse of it filling up over the next few months. i'd love to see that
Hi Kris well done for all of your hard work. I have an idea for you, what about extending power to your greenhouse ? Then you can regulate temperature, extending light hours, automate watering your plants by installing a drip irrigation system from the spring and even having automatic vents and fans plus a warm bench for starting your seedling early in the growing season.
Slugs are so destructive. Likely from the compost. Try putting out a top slice of a melon and water in it so they will drown. Get a chicken or try eggshell type border the slugs can’t climb over...a magical garden thank you for the tour.
You are very right to say food that you grow with your own hands are by far the very best. I have a different experience of growing and noticed I get the beast yelled growing in 1tone builders bags. I can creat the perfect terrie for the crop. I have the bags on 2 pallets which makes it easy to move things around if needed, also the bottom pallet gets lines of wood glue that gets covered in salt this keeps the beasts down and works a treat. A liquid dandelion fertiliser is also amazing forgetting things to root and grow well. You and Dot keep up the good work and eat well 👍🏿
Well I'm going to focus on how nice the greenhouse looks since everyone already covered the haircut. That spring was a sure sign your efforts are being smiled on 👍
for slugs I use a beer can with a oz or two of beer still in it. You can use an beer bottle also. slugs are drawn to it and they go in and don't come out. I was scratching my head every time you said swede. I had to google what you meant Here in the states we call it Rutabaga. I love it
Spring was the same up in Scotland Kris, weather was dry followed by cold and wet and it rained for a whole month. Looking at pictures most of my outdoor stuff seems to be about 1 month behind normal, just starting to get going now. Everything looking good down at yours though, hope the summer holds for long enough to make up for the bad spring.
Its looks great...I still laugh with delight re your own Spring in the greenhouse 🥳💝. Its always swings n roundabouts re growing your own food but it is sooo worth it; your peas being a perfect example. I hope Dot is busy spinning something beautiful with your dreadlocks! 🤣 Have a fabulous week. x
It is looking food. I think it is going to be a strange garden year. We were about two weeks late planting ours and then had a freak snow storm the day after. Now we are heading into a week of extreme heat, mid 40's Celsius, one extreme to another. Thanks for sharing.
This reminds me of the Specsavers ad. Did the chap teaching you sheep sheering need glasses. Eitherway it looks much better than the sheep dog did lol. Yes the seasons are late this year, my cherry trees were very late, with one lone bloom telling the others to stay inside as it was *ucking freezing outside. Loving what you're doing there, and thank you for spoiling us with 2 vids in one week
The reflective surfaces of the green house are wonderful as well as the heat so do use the perimeter of the house as well plenty of light will bounce around and the heat from inside will leak through the glass ...and do not fear coopering yourself some pots and barrels and planting potatoes and the like if you fancy no till gardening wait til you have no dig potatoes you will love them...organic barrels are hard come by and again are good for many things beyond ales whiskeys and wines....good tidy income to e had for a good cooper in the winter ...
Hi Kris, I'm not sure if someone already suggested these to you as I'm still catching up, however, in case some ideas to control slugs and other pests in your garden. Use crushed egg shells to control the slugs and snails, also the shells will over time dissolve and enrich your soil with calcium and therefore your veg will absorb the calcium. Another pest control for a lot of other pests, sprinkle used coffee grinds on the soil, most insects do not like the taste and smell of the coffee and will keep off. Of cause with all natural products used in veg gardens etc. it won't get rid of all the pests, but it will control them so they are not so prolific. I've not tried it myself, though I have read that wood ash and soot are great fertiliser and also brilliant for keeping bugs off your plants. in pre-Victorian times ash and soot were used to keep roses healthy and looking their best.
Hi Kris, Dot, Snoop, hope you are all well. Garden looks amazing, lush and green and I'm sure I'd like to sit under the pea plant and feast on your petit pois. I tend to favour pots these days as disability won't let me get to ground level anymore, I grow salad greens in a trough and harvest what i need, lasts for ages. I have ballerina fruit trees in pots and they do well. The strawberries are for the birds. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. :)
Kris, you don't have a slug problem, but a duck deficiency. I'd suggest building a 1 to 1.5 meter wide duck run around the entirety of your garden, green house and all. The excess water from the spring could be used to fill a small pond for them. Duck eggs are delicious!
Like your new look man.. Mine was long for 20 years,, got in the way caring logs on my shoulders.. Bad slugs in my garden too!!! I spend an hour at first light with sharp kitchen sheers cutting them in half.. I shake off the babies into a can of diesel,, cut the lower leaves off,, leave them under the plants,, the next morning at daylight put them in the diesel can,, they'll be covered with baby slugs.... Put a little salt on the broccoli & cabbage they hate salt,, don't use salt on other plants,, like salting eggs & steak,, do it when plants are wet early morning.. Aloha Kris
Kris looks like you harvested your hair along with the garlic. Nothing goes to waste on the farm so can’t wait to see what Dot can weave out of those trimmings - maybe a pair of socks or nice oven mitt. Thought you were going for the home grown hair hammock but I guess it was just getting too hot out to wait that long.
Nothing wrong with growing your own in pots, it’s just as good as growing in a bed. It’s the size of the pots that count, and a tall terracotta pot is ideal for growing tomatoes .🍅😁👍🏻
Love the no dig method, so versatile! The garden looks fantastic and delicious. Must say love the haircut as well since we all know that this is what we were all looking at lol
Also like your place. Your doing a find job and if I was younger would try to do the same thing. Of course At 80 just not up to it Yes I will keep watching an dream along with you.
at first i thought you had green screened yourself in front of a still of the greenhouse 😂 that camera is super crisp when the lighting is spot on! snails ate all my runner beans but nothing else luckily! garden looking healthy mid summer, it was a cold damp start to the year so nice work bro!
Nice haircut! You should try to get couple of ducks. They eat the slugs. Plants usually go into seeds because of stress, can be lack of nutrients, lack of water, lack of sunshine or they might be planted to close to one another. Look into their needs for NPK and if you fulfill that, try to plant them further apart. If it is windy cold part of the garden, small shelter from the wind for them might also help.
Hi Kris, your garden is looking beautiful, in ground beds are great for you now but as we age raised beds are easier not that you need to worry about it for the next 30ish years. 💖
