Wow that is fabulous I love it! I’m looking to get a rambling rose for bees but I think this might be a little bit too big 😂

Great video, I am planting my first attempt at growing ginger your information is extremely helpful.

I have dimming hopes for decent onion harvest this year because we have had such cold weather they are not growing as well as usual, and I live in dread of bolting. However, your method of stringing them looks easier than mine so I will try that if the weather gods stop playing their latest game and let me have some onions to string at all. I always dry mine as you do, repurposing a series of pallets for the purpose, but once trimmed I plait them into their own string and suspend that from a dedicated pole in the store/pantry - after which I spend all winter trying to avoid walking into them. I take a string at a time and hang in the kitchen for use. As I said, this is a cold year [6 degrees in June!] in the far north and anticipating that [thank goodness I listened to the birds and ponies] I gave in as the year started and bought weed suppressing fabric to help retain soil warmth, which has saved the brassicas from total disaster. How I wish I'd done the same for the onion bed, even though I loathe the stuff. Mine are all still teeny tiny. All suggestions welcome!

Wall to wall information and straight to the point. Best advice ever.

You are doing a wonderful work I love it best wishes

"An area of low humidity" Me, in the southeastern US: 🤨

I've got the proper chicory on the grow in pots and its thriving. My problem is figuring out where to plant them, they are perennial correct? And I have horrid clay soil which will make it difficult to dig up the roots this Fall? I don't have enough raised beds built yet to put this in. 🤷‍♀

Excellent, wonderful, and essential conversation with the 'Teacher' about what truly matters and works for the production of real organic vegetables.

just used coffee powder around the platin surrounding😀after raining redo it.😉

As a chef we ever put onions in fridge raw because the gas that comes from the onions turns foods rancid...!!

Does the copper really not work if a full unbroken perimeter is established? They seem to recoil and avoid it

Good tutorial, easy to follow.

My beets patch looks healthy, but they seem to be developing oval, narrow rather than nice and round!

My favourite veg gardeners. 🎉 Thank you for sharing your knowledge and such a beautiful conversation.

My potaoes are getting blight. I have to dig them up before they affect the potatoes. The rain is depressing.

Starting my very first garden bed. This was helpful, thank you!

I love making teepees first year for growing runner beans & also one for tomatoes. I've used scourers around the base of the plants to protect from the incessant snails & slug attacks this year. I am going to try growing french dwarf beans up a trellis already attached to a wall. Thanks to this video I remembered I have this already set up!

Love seeing the two of you together. Great conversation.

Okay, after watching enough videos of tomato plants and growing a number of them (and peppers) I think I'm just going to duct tape suckers/side chutes coming out. Kidding. Not Kidding. "The truth is still out there, Scully" ...and I will find it.

Rosie slander will not be tolerated 😡

I loved your video! It was very helpful. Thank you💜

What can I do to fight Rollie pollies? They’re taking over my mom’s garden 😡

That was great and very instructive but I had to laugh when you sterilised everything so carefully and then bit the tape with your teeth! LOL!

Bright handled good scissors that are hard to loose are a tool gardeners need now and then/always.

Thank you for giving both measurements being in the US I do not transfer to metric easily. I’m 77, so thank you.

Padawan visits Jedi master. Awesome.

I always string my onions, they look good that way and store well.

Onion skins are great to add to stock to give it colour (they are a natural dye).

You both have such big and genuine hearts! (not the anatomical ones... 🙃) I mean the inspiration and willingness to share your passion with 0% of pretence. Thank you!

Lovely to listen as I potter 😁 I'm a long way from replacing the supermarket but it's a real joy to eat the few fresh bits that I get. So far the peas are a real favourite with the dog, he follows me around the garden waiting until I pick and shell them for him straight off the plant 🥰

FIRST 13 peas. Fave

I usually just loosely braid my onion s and hang them

A few years back I had some $$$ woes and I ate the leaves during the winter as I had Fava Beans growing indoors. I hoped it was ok. So glad to see you munching down on them. Thank you. P.S. $$$ conditions took a very big up turn so all is good.

The gastropods agree that they are delicious

The best berry ive found to grow is the Tayberry. More well behaved than either the blackberry or the raspberry and taste better too. Fruiting now in june and will be followed by the wineberry

For lettuce leaves, ive battled slugs for years and now grow lettuce in hanging baskets works really well and im not worried about either them getting eaten or finding yet another baby slug on my plate that didnt get taken off in the washing

Perfect cross pollination of gardening expertise .

your enthusiasm is contagious. TKS!

honestly i worry too much about fungal diseases like mildew to ever do this

You and Charles changed my life and my garden - i absolutely love no dig!! just tried it for the first time and it is really so much better, more efficient, less fighting with the soil and less expending energy digging through hard soil, plus im adding compost right as i plant so that saves me when id have to add compost later. i love it!!! im not disturbing the life or the roots (which i think of as nerves of the plant.) imagine!! thank you so much for having Charles on your channel. an honor to have both, thank you!!

I have a little hobby greenhouse 8' by 6' . It gets horribly hot in the afternoon sun, even with the vents open. Is the alternating night temp of about 70 and daytime soaring into high 90s ok for curing the onions? Should I put a little fan to move air through in the daytime, cover the greenhouse partway with shade cloth, or something? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I agree with the viewer who said you would be a great followup to Monty Don.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF NEMATODES? YOU DON'T NEED TO POISON YOU SOIL WITH CHEMICALS. YOUR LITTLE NEMATODES WILL SEEK AND DESTROY THOSE PESKY SLUGS. IT'S COMPLETELY NATURAL AND IT WORKS VERY WELL. THEY'RE ALSO VERY AFFORDABLE. GOOGLE NEMATODES FOR SLUG CONTROL. ALSO, I CAN SEE YOU ARE VERY FOND OF STRAW WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE IT CONDITIONS YOUR SOIL BUT I USE SHREDED PAPER (NEWSPAPERS, AMAZON PACKING PAPER, ANY NON GLOSSY PAPER) AS MULCH AND THE SLUGS LOVE IT. THEY WILL GO FIRST FOR PAPER ON THE GROUND BEFORE ATTACKING YOUR PLANTS. HONEST. WORKS LIKE MAGIC. OH, AND BECAUSE THEY'VE EATEN IT, THEY PROVIDE CALCIUM AND NITROGEN TO YOUR SOIL WHEN THEY POOP IT. FINALLY, MY FRIEND USES FIBROUS MULCH WHICH IS PAPER BASED BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS ADDED TO IT AND SHE SWEARS BY IT. SO, YOU HAVE MANY (NATURAL) OPTIONS BEFORE YOU USE BEER TRAPS OR CHEMICALS.

Harvested my first broad beans this morning! Planted them pre-Christmas, and the pods are looking good 🙂

Help, I tried starting my seeds in compost this year, and most are not doing well. Stunted, not growing. Is it the compost, or could I be over watering? I have been a market grower for 30 years and have started many, many trays of seedlings so this is frustrating!! Love your show. Have adopted many of your ideas since we left the farm and i greatly downsized.

🥰👍🏻💖

I don't know why, but onions and garlic are my most difficult crops to grow. I've tried winter onions from sets and onions from seed. But the sets bolted prematurely and the ones I've grown from seed are not even close to growing a bulb at this point in time. It's frustrating. 😔

I usually plait the onions with a baling twine (similar to stringing you showed). Growing up my dad would pop them into tights...they were everywhere in the garage😀

Thanks Ben for another great tutorial ❤❤ xx

My grandfather would braid the leaves together to keep his onions
