For my FAQ document and video: https://steves.seasidelife.com/2020/01/20/allotmentfaq/
My books and videos are all grounded in what I actually do, I make sure you can see the evidence. For example if I suggest sowing carrots in November, take a look at my monthly tours to see them growing and my harvest videos for May to see the actual results. I’m not just about regurgitaing information from the backs of seed packets!
Just because all my resources are ‘free of charge’, to everyone, doesn’t mean they aren’t good quality. My objective is to make sure that there’s no need to be rich to get access to great gardening information. I do however have a lot of costs to cover and my time is valuable to me, so please consider supporting me at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/steverichards

👍👍👍
Such useful information thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video Steve. I love growing greens in winter, I have a few module trays that are under grow lights in the morning and evening and then out on the patio table during the day. Its my way to catch up on late sowings but ultimately it just lifts my spirit to see them grow. The grenoble red lettuce is my favourite lettuce, thanks to you .
Frost on the cars first thing this morning. Beautiful day. Allotment beckons. Thanks!
I started broad beans in pots in two successions and they are coming on strong. I usually sow and plant them early spring so am a bit nervous to plant them out. We havd some enthusiastic gardening mice who move them about in spring if they are tiny and till have the seed.
My brassica for spring got too damaged by cabbage whites (got to get a good butterfly netted space for them for next year). I resorted to buying purple sprouting plug plants and due to the postal strikes they arrived yellow. I think they will be replaced though. We got tons of little florets from 4 plants in spring and part of summer, they just keep giving.
Great video all my brassicas are outside for spring, but I've got more Hiden in my greenhouse. I've grown all my winter onions by seeds by couldn't help but some bulbs haha need to get them planted. Had nothing but rain ☔ laterly
Hi, thanks for the info. Do you still use hot beds these days? I can't recall you mentioning them recently (but might have missed you saying). If not, any particular reason? Maybe having your Polytunnel means you don't need them any more. Just wondering. Cheers.
Talking about over winter, I have just read that a gardener called Mr. Muir wrote in the Field November 1887 that he liked to take autumn cuttings from his favourite Tomato plants, and over winter the rooted cuttings with his geraniums, frost free, but fairly dry. He said they produced fruit much earlier than the plants grown from seeds.
