I drill 3 or 4 large holes around my pots approx 1"dia with spade drill, then fit rubber bungs for normal drainage, heavy rain I remove the bungs they don't get water logged, weather changes to dry replace bungs for normal drainage, works for me. I also use a number of 7foot tomato houses, help them along with shelter have no problems with cold either zip em up at night. Haven't lost anything yet. Inexpensive too. Enjoy the channel hope weather improves for us all 👍

This year I've grown exclusively dwarf and semi-dwarf tomatoes, thank goodness, and think I'll try dwarf peppers next year; dwarf tomatoes eliminate so many problems (or at least make them manageable), whereas I'm struggling with my (lovely, healthy, vigorous) peppers ...

It is still a very good container garden.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Yes its either the weather or creatures Just carry on and make the best of the year Thank you Jen

@wideawake4413 7 дней назад

I've managed to save my plants with kitchen roll underneath the pot. It's been soaking all the excess water up. I've also been bringing them in at night. It's a pain I know, but it's been working a treat. I hope this helps you and anyone else struggling.

My beautiful tomatoes are suffering they seem to have slowed down I think tomorrow I'm going to try squeeze them into my mini greenhouse till the weather gets better 🫤 Hope your plants survive. Yes my washing bowl spring onions are doing great. 😊

I feel your pain, I’m taking your advise and going to re-plant some seeds again, 3rd time lucky😮 Fingers crossed for your plants that are in hospital. Cherry

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Thank you Cherry good luck to you too

@paulacollins8327 9 дней назад

We've also drilled some drainage holes in the sides of the pots towards the bottom Foliage can also create an umbrella effect so some pots need to be watered as they're surprisingly dry, even with all this rain

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Good idea Thank you Paula

@sharonscott8358 8 дней назад

For winter, we are bound to get more rain - seems to be the pattern these days, so it might be worth investing in some pot feet for the plants like your raspberries so they don't rot during what no doubt will be another wet winter.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Sounds like a plan Thank you Sharon

@lyndaturner6686 5 дней назад

It’s certainly been a dreadful Spring , June has been drier here in Cornwall , but last week we had 40 mph wind that flattened my potatoes, they seem to be perking up again now, in fact it’s been drier for a few days , I’ve lost some plug plants I’d bought through getting too wet , fingers crossed for July ❤️

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 2 дня назад

Shame about the loss but July is going to be great Thank you Lynda

@timredford6608 9 дней назад

Not a bad idea to drain of your pots on the holed hard board only thing is if you get a heavy rain fall and the hard board gets drenched it could cave in. Anyway it's all looking good Iven. All the very best Tim.😊

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 9 дней назад

Will keep my eye on it Thank you Tim

@carolphillips9441 9 дней назад

Sorry about your plant casualties Ivan, its so annoying when you go to all the trouble. I'm fed up of the bloody weather, my plants are slow growing because of it, hope we get some good weather soon aye.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Me too Thank you Carol

@StevesRepairs 9 дней назад

Thanks Ivan, it's been terrible this spring and the last two years for container plants but at the moment I've not got any of mine on the ground as some of them are in my little portable greenhouse and several are on two racks with mesh shelves which I bought from Amazon two years ago and they still look like new. The make is OYPLA, I can't remember how much they cost but I do know that they weren't expensive which was good as they are really good quality. Have a great and warmer week. Take care and all the best. Stevie

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Thanks for the info Stevie much appreciated

@nickiramsay2421 9 дней назад

That was exactly what my cucumbers looked like when they wilted last week. Looks like we might at least have a couple of warmer dry days at the beginning of this week. We can only hope things will start being more settled soon.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 6 дней назад

Best of luck and Thank you Nicki

@bulasty 9 дней назад

I can feel your pain. I grow most of my stuff in the ground so no problems with waterlogging but all the cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes are suffering. I am sure it is the temeratures we are getting here in Norfolk. It is getting below 10C every night! We'll get the summer sooner or later. Bring back global warming ;)!

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Yes true the rain and then cold spells are a cucumbers enemy Thank you

@Sine-gl9ly 9 дней назад

I have SUCH wet ground outside my flat that I've already got some rigid wire mesh panels, with bricks to support them, to stand my pots on next winter - so I got them out and put all my summer containers on them. Broad beans, carrots, peas, potatoes, sweet peas, dahlias ... the tomatoes are, fortunately, all dwarf or semi-dwarf so most of them only had a day or two outside before being brought back in. My squash plants are going to HAVE to go out soon due to my increasingly living in a jungle. My raised bed is draining well, despite its situation, and everything in it looks fairly happy, the rhubarb especially. The strawverries are literally sitting there, looking at me resentfully, hard and green, and wondering why it's called 'flaming June' ...

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Yes me too I feel for all gardeners this year but better days are coming Thank you

@Chumley555 8 дней назад

I've always wondered why you don't put crocks (broken earthenware shards) at the bottom of your pots! Usually gardeners always do this to prevent drainage holes becoming blocked. Maybe you don't have any because you always use plastic pots. 😞. And, for plants that need extra drainage, pots are put on feet.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Thank you for the feedback

@anthonystevens749 9 дней назад

You're right as always Ivan - what a p;33y orrible spring it's been! I really feel for fellow gardeners in such adverse conditions. I too have in previous years killed cukes with 'kindness' (overwatering), so now my pots include special measures, both in the greenhouse and outside: a generous layer of stones in the base of each pot, and a fair bit of potting grit mixed into the compost. The roots seem to need air and water in careful measure or they tell us all about it with yellow faces! 😭

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Better days are coming Anthony but until then lets hope everything makes it Thank you

@twelvesmylimit 8 дней назад

@sarahfreeman3268 9 дней назад

Hi Ivan, I’ve also noticed on one of my autumn raspberry fruit cairn plants that the leaves are starting to turn yellow and after doing a bit of research I think it’s been caused by too much rain. I’ve checked the weather and it looks like it should be improving towards the beginning of next weekend fingers crossed because like yourself I’ve no green house and it’s heartbreaking after all the work and effort getting the fruit,vegetables and plants starting to grow only to be destroyed by the wet season we’ve been having 😞

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Yes Sarah it is on the way so fingers crossed the plants make it Thank you

@BBbBass2 9 дней назад

Same here in the flat part of Yorkshire. My solution is to make duckboards from old roofing slats which hold my pots and containers off the ground and it seems to work but even that can't cope with the volume of water.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Lets hope it ends soon Thank you

@Catherine-vf5lx 9 дней назад

Maybe try some wire type fencing lifted of the ground by resting on bricks with the pots sitting on the wire , this season has been very challenging for us yesterday afternoon we had 10 minutes of hailstones thrown down on us Wirral area the hailstones hadn’t even melted by early evening. It’s really getting on my wick now.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 6 дней назад

True a bad start but better days are on the way Thank you Catherine

@cindythoms7246 9 дней назад

It's been crazy weather here too. All my plants are in pots. I have pots I put up on bricks so they drain. The bugs however are worse than the weather.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

It is a constant battle but we will get there good luck this season Cindy

@Kirsty-D 8 дней назад

My cucumbers and peppers were struggling but I repotted them into fabric pots rather than plastic and they’re flourishing! I’m wondering now if it was the rain that was killing them and now that the water is easily coming away from the fabric pots they’re less water logged! Thanks for another great video!

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Good call Thank you Kirstie

@ivanbeacon5883 8 дней назад

There is polystyrene waste in loads of items. Polystyrene makes great lightweight crocks BUT also great feet to raise pots off the ground. Your bed base won't last long before it rots.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Thanks Ivan just a temp measure to see how they go

@PoppaWoody6969 9 дней назад

@perculiar_daughter 9 дней назад

I lost my potted cucumbers too Ivan, first year it's happened. I quickly got some seedlings back in and they have all germinated. Hopefully this time I will have better luck. I wonder if you could grow your cucumbers in those balcony pots and support them as they trail downwards by making some kind of trellis. Just a thought that came to me. Fingers crossed, you won't need to worry anyway come july, let's hope for more sun 😊 🌞

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

I think the roots would be too much for those pots but mini cucumbers may work Thank you

@margaretmcallister5422 9 дней назад

Considering that raspberries grow in the wilds and winds of Scotland and the high countryside, it shows how soggy and cold the year has been so far. Roll on....! Keep at it. Quack, Bounce.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 9 дней назад

Very true and will do Thank you Margaret

@sheilathomas8528 9 дней назад

So sorry you are having problems with the pots being water logged, fingers crossed being raised up will do the trick. Thanks for sharing.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

On we go though Thank you Sheila

@michellelewis9474 9 дней назад

Hi Ivan, 1 pot of my strawberries was swimming in water, the only remedy was to get rid of compost and repot them. I wish I had the room for a polytunnel so I could move all my pots indoors when we have these terrible spells of rain. I hope you're right with better weather coming, the plants are crying out for it as am I 😂 Love watching your vlogs, they encouraged me to plant more into containers.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 9 дней назад

Hi Michelle yes sometimes that is the only answer so will see how they do for a week but if we get another week of rain then it may be my way too Thank you for your support

@susiea1419 9 дней назад

I had a poly tunnel last year and everything got fungal infections from the plastic but others may do ok with them.

@chocomoose394 9 дней назад

I realised that some of my older plants in pots were no longer draining properly - holes blocked. As it's quite difficult for me to lift now & poke the underneath holes clear, I have started drilling 3 holes, front & both sides towards the base ( gravel layer ) that I can easily reach to poke clear if need be.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Good idea Thank you

@angelasmith8320 9 дней назад

Hi, I just thought it might be worth buying pot feet for your pots. It will definitely help with the drainage.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Good plan Thank you Susan

@nicobass1966 9 дней назад

Why don't you cover the top of the pots with some plastic, or above when you know you have heavy rain ?, this will stop the water issue and also give some more heat into the soil. Not sure this is the answer but it may help - thanks for the update

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Trouble round here is they say rain but there is none then they say sun and it rains lol Worth covering though Thank you Nico

@jackgreen1698 9 дней назад

A suggestion that might help at least to some extent is to use olant pot feet to lift your pots up a little and assist with drainage

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Worth a go Thank you Jack

@susiea1419 9 дней назад

Hi Ivan I was wondering whether to make chicken wire covers for each plant and co er with plastic. The wet is killing everything. Sigh 😂

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Worth a try Thank you Susie

@kooltube100 9 дней назад

what a shame but once again your full of great ideas. sadly i couldn't do what you said due to burying my cucumber inground, in a desprite attempt I dug mine up and put it in a pot with dry compost a few days ago. Don't think it worked, but maybe I killed it more due to pulling up the roots. We live and learn I guess :)

@kooltube100 9 дней назад

update: I went out to cut the wilting leaves of the cucumber like you showed, but I think it's doing better than I'm giving it credit for. when I cut he leaves off the sap was still flowing to those leaves, the parts I cut had sap bulbing on the ends. now this plant has been in a dry pot for a few days and the newer leaves seem decent so maybe theres still hope.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Fingers crossed for you

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Great news Thank you

@brianhill1294 8 дней назад

That peg board is no good for outdoor use, you need to raise the containers up off the ground by putting feet under them, that way any excess water in the containers can drain away more freely.

@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk 8 дней назад

Its just temp to see how the plants go Thank you Brian
