I’m in storm prep today. Securing my late tomatoes before hurricane tomorrow. It will be tropical when it gets here to Maine. We’re going to be getting 40-70mph winds and gusts. My tomatoes are mostly laden with unripe fruit. They are heavy and green.. I’ve only had a handful of cherries ripen so far. I’ll be securing everyth8 g as best I can and hopefully they make it unharmed!
Best of luck over there Ruth, a little of time spent to protect your toms will pay you back. Fingers crossed that the hurricane doesn't head to close to your neck of the woods!
Thanks for the shout out Ivan, much appreciated. Great info in this video so I have plenty of ideas to run with now and put my greenhouse into use over winter.. finally :) 👍
There's a real turn in the weather now. I have some winter squash that I hope will have time to ripen and my tatties are starting to get a bit scabby but other than that I'm prepping for winter now too so this is very helpful Ivan.
Hello Ivan, another very informative video thank you. You inspire many people to try different things and the way in which you adapt your growing to the weather and seasons is very interesting. I too enjoy experimenting. Thank you once again, Paul
My next experiment is to see if I can grow tomatoes over winter in my little pop up greenhouse with led lights. My tomato harvest has been good and all from a few slices of shop bought tomatoes. Thankyou Ivan, another great video as always. Now, over to see what’s cooking 😉
Hi Ivan, I don't have a greenhouse so I was wondering if I can over winter my strawberries in the shed next to the window? Thanks for keeping us going with your advice. Cheers Andrew
Carful I grew my electra onions in my polytonal and when the temperature was changing in spring they bolted. I’m going to try to grow some in the allotment for next year
Love the video. What can we be growing if we don’t have big greenhouses like you have. Mine is small. I still want to have produce over winter. I have some lettuce and spring onions going. They need to grow outside. Thanks.
Some good info & advice Ivan thank you, I've got my cauliflowers in containers they're looking good up to yet, I'm going to do some sprouts especially now I can get smaller ones, again I'll do them in containers, I love all green veg, how long does it take for sprouts to grow & harvest, thanks again Ivan..
Thanks for the good videos Ivan. A Question….I have a number of tomato plants in 3” pots, about a foot tall. I was not well enough to plant them out at the right time…but I have seen some people saying you can overwinter them, probably in the house. What’s your take on this ? (SwLondon)
Hi Kathy Not something i would do as the plants will get out of control real quick they dont over winter really i treat them as an annual as they rely on warmth and lots of light which we dont get in winter so they would end up being very poor plants Thank you
