Monday 1 July - an early morning visit to the plot to put our temporary combination padlock into place on the main gate as the usual one is playing up, and an opportunity to show you a rookie error!;
Saturday 6 July - we've had LOADS of rain, and even though I got to the plot in a lighter spell it's raining heavily again, so I'm in the poly and the greenhouse waffling about lettuce germination, lettuce types and general allotment stuff...;
Sunday 7 July - more rain this morning, though I'm back at the plot in the afternoon in a spell of sunnier weather, with a shower never too far away. I'm tearing up cardboard for our compost bins, and talk through the types of general household recycling cardboard that I use.

Paul's series 'A Week at the Plot' is his mini vlogs of what he's been up to at the plot each week; little and often, and all about gardening, what's growing, being sown, harvested, enjoyed and much more at our UK No Dig allotment in West London.

Thank you Paul for producing another full-week video while you are not fully recovered from a cold. Your lettuces and beetroot are doing very well. Despite wet and cold weather my broad beans and peas grow well. However, some have been eaten by rats in the allotment. What a challenging year!

Indeed it is such a challenging year in so many different ways. 😬🤞😬

So glad that your broad beans and peas are doing well... I do have winter peas to sow later in the year, though as last year's overwintering sowing did poorly I may wait until spring. 🤔👍🤞

Here in Cumbria we've given up wishing for sunshine we just hope for lighter rain at this point. It feels like it's been cold and wet here since last September

Hiya Paul, you do have some pretty views from different areas at your allotment. Currently in a mini heatwave here in Southern Ontario Canada We had a lot of rain in June. I’m making sure my drinking stations for the birds and other creatures are topped up. Take care see you later 🐝🇨🇦

Good to keep those drinking stations up and running for the wildlife. 👍😊👍

The weather is a pain for growing. Bone dry earth at my plot, but this week, torrential rain showers. On Sunday, I walked in sunshine to the plot. Upon arriving and unlocking the gate, it poured with rain, and I was soaked while tying in my runner beans. Half an hour later, dried out in the sunshine. South Wales.

Considering the horribly wet and cool growing season, your garden is looking pretty good. The lettuces look great.

It certainly has been a challenging year…never seen so many slugs and snails and the cold and the wet. I have joined the ‘cant grow radishes’ club too! My blackcurrants are doing well though. Thanks for making the video despite not feeling great.

I have no words for this weather Paul, it's so cold up here in southern Scotland we've put our heaters on! So glad I went to Corfu for a bit of sunshine. It's so depressing. Well....we can only do what we can do. Happy hopeful growing and let's hope August is warmer.

Happy growing to you also! Today, I pickled and bottled baby onions from my partial onion harvest. I mainly grow onions for the greens. Your Swiss Chard is gorgeous 😍.. the rabbits ate all mine, so I will be replanting seed for fall. Lots of poor generation, too, with my old and new seed this year. Bush beans came up, but trellis beans didn't. My summer squash look small too. Idk, but I am happy to be out in the garden and grateful for what I am harvesting... ❤

@paulsavident and In walking around the garden this morning I found something ate my green beans... my own fault for not fencing it in from critters better. Well, I love my garden but I love the critters too. 🫠

Hi Paul, thanks for a great video. Your lettuce, beets and chard all look amazing! I bought a compost turner after watching you use yours about a year ago and I love it!

Nice to see a bit of sun on the greenery. Have you ever put a figure on how much your homegrown veggies save on the household food bill?
@paulsavident
@paulsavident 17 дней назад
No, I haven't priced as it's not a primary driver for us. 👍 In organic lettuce alone it would be in the hundreds, though when you actor in the time at the plot... 👍😊👍

not much happening in my garden aside from a rogue rhubarb that isnt going red and a massive passionfruit vine that has taken over the back fence (as planned), It's winter and I can see new growth on it which is weird. I have to get back into planting. I think I'll start with chard because it grows all year around here.
@paulsavident
@paulsavident 17 дней назад
How odd re your rhubarb, though glad to hear the planned covering of the fence with a passion fruit is doing well. 👍👍👍

Thank you Paul. I had a lock that kept getting my key stuck. I saw a yt video that said to spray wd-40 in it. It comes with a nozzle. I am in US, not sure if you have such a product. I think it is silicon spray. It worked for me.

It’s a degreaser handy for all sorts of Rusty, squeaky, stuck bits and bobs. 🐝🇨🇦
@paulsavident
@paulsavident 17 дней назад
Good idea, though the metal is worn so WD40 which we do have in the UK would only ease things for a day or so. 👍😬👍
