We Have a EPIC harvest! Loads of peppers, chillis, eggplant, beetroots, brussel sprouts, cauliflower and cabbages. The veg is still very much coming in and we are starting to prepare the beds for winter. We will take you on a tour of our allotment from our no-dig beds, to our food forest. No stone is left unturned and we will show you all the progress we have made along the way.

Good morning 🌹 Your work is amazing.
That butternut squash is enormous!!!
Some lovely beetroot there too. Great work clearing that bed and covering with cardboard.
My artichokes are dying back now. I’m so sad the dwarf ones don’t flower.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what you do with the marshmallow plant, in terms of how it’d harvested.
Great harvesting of the cauliflower Jasmine. Very beautiful
Was that Jasmine’s school choir singing a harvest song? So cute!
Jasmine is such a character 🥰
Oh wow.. jasmine’s mini tour at the end. She was born to be on camera 🤣😍😍
“Don’t often have hairless rats do we” 🤣
Are you still harvesting this year?
my favourite type of vlog – allotment ❤ harvest ❤ clear out ❤and prep for the next growing season ❤❤❤ Jasmine has grown soooo much it is fantastic that you get to spend more time with her
Lots of good ideas of how to use your produce. Well done 👏
I love the corking appearance on peppers 🫑 ❤ will definitely stick to indoor pepper planting next year.
“Hello 📞 “ with a banana pepper 😂😂😂 you crack me up 😂😂
Great beets!!!! ❤
A big hairy rat 😂😂😂😂
Halfway through and very jealous of that cauli. I did purple ones for the first time this year but only one has fruited and it was TEENY TINY!!!
Oh you've reminded me … What ever happened to my Chinese cabbages??!! No idea where they went… (Well prob into some slug bellies)
Well done Nik and Jasmine – loads of harvest, prepping & plans for next year… And a rat to end!! 😂
You have done so well especially considering the random weather patterns and having a baby too. Jasmine is a fine helper and baby sitter, she will be asking for more pocket money soon.🙂
Awesome job. Our pepper plants regrow each year if trimmed back.
Andrew is so quiet 🤫 but I’m sure like all moms you’ll say he has his moments. The allotment has been very plentiful for you Nik but it’s all down to your constant hard work. Have an amazing week, Ali 🌞🥶🇨🇦
Lovely harvest Nik, a lot of prep for the new season gone in, looking forward to seeing the results, Steve
Great tour Nik. That reminds me i need to try our pickled nasturtiums. Yes not going to complain about it being so cloudy for the past 10 days..
Looking forward to seeing the marshmallow video, if you are going to do one of course?
We have beaten last years harvest of 40kgs of tomatoes but we did plant more this year. However, with the crappy weather and getting blight/ attacked by snails we lost a lot too. The last of our green tomatoes have ripened so going to update my spreadsheet to get a finally tally. We are leaving on the tomatoes out front for the snails to finish off.
Love that pink cauliflower! I want to grow everything but just don't have the space in the garden. We got the cabbages and broccoli in. Just starting to harvest some of the Chinese cabbage in the soon to be garlic rows. I'm loving growing things in the new sandpit bed.
Will you be doing a branston pickle video too? None of ours germinated in the end, so would watch in envy and plan better for next year.
Oh cool new plot for Jasmine. Will be interesting to see what she picks for her gardening space.
Our sprout bed has been pants this year, mainly due to the lack of sun but rats making tunnels earlier in the year so we have stumpy ones about 1-2ft tall. I saw the rat again about 2.30pm, merrily skipping across our patio. It's not a big fully grown one and not a baby, body about 15 -20cm long. Not sure what to do.
Ahh bless loved the Jasmine section of the tour! Is that her singing in the background in the music, throughout the video? We did good on the bird poo offering/ thornless raspberries this year. Moved the pot nearer to the house to prune and re pot into a bigger glazed terracotta pot. It's just had it's second year in a 20 cm pot, growing on one side of the pot. I had figured out what type it is now so can prune repot it ok.
Hope you are having a good week back at school. Did you get to see any fireworks? They were Marley the ghost from Scrooge. x
P.s. Just found out our kid has been stream sniping whilst playing bedrock and got banned for 3 days from a SMP on Monday. I knew my instincts were right to check. Tbh, i think they just wanted to be on a yt video as they record themselves playing on the pc with the tablet recording for VO. Will be having a chat tomorrow after school and choir club. Is 2 days ban from devices too harsh do you think for their first time doing something they shouldn't on the internet? I am proper fuming rn but need to approach it calmly and find out what happened. They literally pinky promised me tonight as i was talking to them about internet safety and how to behave online. It was my fault though as they were using my old office pc to play minecraft but it has no restrictions on the yt in the browser. I enabled it so they could listen to/ practise music/ karaoke for choir, so fuming with myself too. It's trying to find that balance between trust and helicopter parenting. Going to ask the school for the slides they used for internet safety week. We do teach them about internet safety but want to know more about the week they spent teaching them and what topics were covered so we know what gaps to fill. Don't be too harsh on me either pls as still learning myself. I got my nokia mobile when i was 17 and could pay for it myself. x
