  1. Wonderful video.  Thanks to Sean, Vivi and Geoff for including all of your followers in the Edible Garden Show.  It was quite an effort and that doesn't go unnoticed.  Cheers to another fab growing season.

  2. I'm so glad you all had a good time at the show and were able to meet so many viewers. Great video, as usual Sean, thanks for sharing. 

  3. Absolutely wonderful mate.  I was tired out and I only did 2 days.  You three must have been crawling home with exhaustion.  It was a great episode with many wonderful memories.  A pleasure to spend time with you all.  Thank you so much for the link and shoutout.  I really appreciate it.  All the best folks.

  4. Thank you everyone for sharing your time with us . Too far to come but felt like we were all invited and included. The channel is more than just gardening it's a growing commmunity. May you all recover and have a great new season. Bless.

  5. Congratulations Sean on winning 3rd place!  I love your videos, always inspires me to do more 🙂

  6. Have been enjoying your videos, referrals to other gardening sources and try to keep up with all you are doing,   Also, I am learning so much about how you do your youtube videos.  Amazing to think I am halfway across the world and can keep up with your progress.  Best regards,  Vivian in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

  7. Really enjoyed the EGS footage. You all looked as if you had a great if not a tiring time. Maybe see if I can make it next year. All the best. Chris.

  8. Great video sean bloody wish i went to the edible show now definately going next year i was put off by the lack of information of going by rail as the wife was working anyway hope you have all recharged your batteries as the season is fast approaching my friend all the best pal

  9. Now also in Netherlands; The Big Allotment Challange. The flower decoration here is expired. Also in the Netherlands is a popular program. The translation is: By Dutch Soil. Every Thursday night for the next few weeks.

  10. Great video, too far for me to come as I live in North Scotland and would have loved to meet you all but great to get to watch some of it on here 😊

  11. Boy! did you guys ever work hard.  It was nice to see so many different people this year, and I really like those chairs too. Not the look, but I could tell when Vivi sat down, how comfortable it was. I love a comfortable chair. Great Video! Thank you!

  12. I was knackered as well. I was walking round Sainsbury's talking to myself. And when I arrived on the Friday it was all done. We had loads of tea over the weekend. That cat scared me every time I saw him. Those chairs were very comfortable. A HUGE thank you to Woodblocx for my small bed. I'm looking forward to making it and showing it off. A fantastic weekend if a little knackering.

  13. Great to see all you allotmenteering presenters getting together and having a great time, always something of interest on all your channels so keep up the good work all of you.

  14. Hi, I'm a complete novice just getting into gardening. One of the things I was interested in planting was raspberries and blackberries. Have you any tips please? Like where I should plant them? What can I use for support? What do I do to them in the winter?
    Many thanks.

  15. I love you guys. Hi Vivi! I'm still working on trying to find someone around here who enjoys gardening. I've had my pot of tea ready, but no takers, yet. Keep up the good work and tell Geoff I hope his berries do nicely for him.

  16. Looks like it was fun – knackering but fun! Great to see so many familiar faces in one place. There must be a collective noun for a group of gardeners – a gaggle, a shovel, a compost – oh dear I'm off thinking now! Thanks for the trip x

  17. Sean, in this show you interviewed a gentleman who spoke of a website where you can find out how to make sausage and cheese. I couldn't catch where he said it was. Could you print it out for us? The accent was a little heavy! Thanks so much. (Judy)

  18. Sean can you tell me about broad beans the white flower when it dies back to produce the pod does it go p
    Black the plant is ok other ways
