Really nice sunny day today but we have got 50 m hour winds again and I think everybody is insan boat all over the country they’ve been going for the last 3 days and they’re not going to stop till the end of week so it’s basically battery everything all over again it
Is a little bit warmer though we’re getting into double figures now which is really good after those minus 4 to minus 6 days that we had so we’ve got things uncovered once again I still got my fleece here I’m just going to leave it there for a moment I’m just making
Sure that things like these carrots have got enough water they’re in a green now so they’re still going to dry out but nothing seems to be suffering that’s the main thing especially these something that we need to keep his eye on for definite that’s those broad beans that
We’ve had and you can see quite a bit big in now really healthy looking plants which is brilliant the only problem is the roots they grow really fast on broad beans so we’re now in
A position where we need to move them on I’m not going to do that today what I’m going to do is wait until end at week when all this is calmed down a bit and then I’m going to start
Potting in a few bits on mobs so midweek I shall nip out get a couple of bags of compost for that job cuz I don’t think the ones that would’ve got outside quite ready yet but really healthy looking plants it must have blown all the Slugs away because there’s no damage to them
Either and we’ve got a little bit more advancement on those sweet peas they’re starting to Leaf up a bit more now as you can see they’re just ticking along nice and steady and that’s all we expect at this time of year we don’t even want
Huge spurts of growth so plants get too big because we can’t put them outside yet we’re still in for some more quite cold weather I don’t know when it’s coming on this occasion but I do know that it’s not until yeah April May that things
Start to get a bit better so I’m still expecting quite a few more Frost here maybe even snow but for the moment it’s the wind that’s been a complete pain we went out a few days ago and we tided all Garden up we cleared everything away that had
Been blown all over the place from that previous storm that we had we repaired a few things I put the greenhouse door back on that got blown off and it all now seems like it were a little bit
Or a waste of time cuz we’ve got another week of this and it’s going to be consistent there 50 mph winds so I’m pretty sure that there’s going to be quite a bit of that work that’s going to get undone and we’ve already sustained a little bit more damage as well compost under
There I keep forgetting about these cabbages we got them tuck behind those carrots when it was really cold putting lots of fleece on I mean they’re still all right again they’re not growing very big and I think it’s just come to point with these as well where they could do
It moving on into something a little bigger so we’ll keep them where we can see them that’ll just remind me to get that job done probably sometime at end of this week uh and I’m also
Going to be doing a few more Peppers as well but for moment I’m just going to have a quick look right garden and see just how much damage it’s been done you’re probably going to get a bit of
Wind noise but there’s not much I can do about that I’ve actually not even been up here for a couple of days at least that bunk is still intact although it has knocked a couple of panels out
Back of that fence what an awkward place for it to do that as well soz I can hardly get to it I’m not going to move compost bins just to put two boards up I’ll nail them and then wedge them halfway
Down glad I didn’t bother fixing that fence either cuz it would have got all smashed up again but at least there’s no more tree branches so that’s one thing as you can see that Greenhouse doors come back off it’s a bit of a waste of time once again
That glass is not smashed we’ll get get this done hopefully next week when it Cals down a [Music] bit and we got some I don’t know what that [Music] is well it’s come from somewhere big piece of Steel it’s a strange
One unless it’s come off side it shed or something not sure about that greenhous is all right that can’t go [Music] nowhere it’s a mystery I don’t know where that’s come from unless it was on roof it shed and it’s been blowing off and I just
Never knew we were there you can see there’s a loose panel on that fence and all the drop Dr down and another one missing there actually still got the panel so I can just take that back in pointless doing it today like but we still got
It things look all right here as well at the moment we have talk a better at beating now on this end it’s not that complete panel out and I don’t think that’s going to get fixed at least not today anyway but yeah it’s definitely been doing some gusting to have
Knock that full panel out so once again a job for another day I’m glad we haven’t putting out in this container garden at minute it want have lasted two minutes this week I’m thinking about it I’m also glad that I weren’t in Garden when that blew from wherever it came
From so back in greenhous it has actually knocked that glass out of that corner again and all I’m surprised it’s not ripped that window off I should have closed that that’s something I need to get done I’ll do that now if wind gets old of that it’s liable to rip it straight
Off so if you haven’t done that yourself close your Greenhouse windows at least until this Stone passes that Garlic’s looking all right carrots are still all right so at least in a we’ve got a little bit of protection so as you just saw we’ve sustained more damage it’s mainly
Fencing panels that’s getting wrecked there’s just no point in trying to fix them especially when this is going on for next 4 days or so I’m just going to leave it be we’ll get it all fixed
At week and maybe we’ll get a bit of sunshine to help us along but apart from things in here and what’s happening out there I’ll just do a quick update on those Peppers that we’ve been growing indoors I know people keep asking me about them and they want to know how they getting
On and they’re not doing too bad that’s those ones that wen’t potted on yet getting some good size on them they’ve all got the true leaves the they got some nice color to them that’s brilliant
These are going to get potted on at weekend as well they’re not root band but they are getting a bit size to them so I think I’m just going to move them on to something a little bit bigger
And then we did one as well which is this one we put it in quite a small container still but once again it’s a nice locking little plant that doing really well we can leave that in there for
Quite a while yet so it’s not a problem but I think what we’ll do when we get that compost at weekend we’ll get rest of these moved on as well just into those small containers we know
That’s another job done ready for spring when it should get warmer and then we should get a burst a growth on pretty much everything so those Peppers will soon start to put some size on and we’re going to have to sew some more seeds as well because weather’s been so rubbish I haven’t
Bothered sewing any more seeds for Peppers cuz I want more than what’s here these are the long sweet peppers that can grow to a foot in length quite thin but I still want some bell peppers so
We’ll get some of those seeds sorted out as well over next week or so as we start to hopefully approach a bit better weather but we don’t want to be doing too much cuz even indoors you’ve got
To fried them with light you’ve got fried them with heat and it’s not a case for it costing a fortune to do that especially if you use those LED lights that I use and just a cheap eat man
It’s the fact that you’ll very quickly run out of space so I just want to concentrate on me Peppers at the moment tomatoes and cucumbers when their time comes will grow really fast along with pretty much everything else so at the moment they’re not a concern we just want to get
These moved on and I did receive a couple of donations as well which I’m really grateful for and one came from Wayne DWI we also got a donation from an Trotter and another from Kevin jarm and you know that everything that you send to this channel gets put back into this Channel
And it is massively appreciated so thank you so much for your generosity for doing that there’s not much more I can do out here it’s not exactly fun standing out in your Greenhouse with this wind owling constantly you can’t do nothing out there it’s completely pointless so apart from checking
Out watering and updating you on these Peppers that’s pretty much all I’m going to be doing today apart from making a couple more quizzes indoors where it’s nice and warm and if you’re not doing no outside at the moment and you fancy doing a couple of quizzes pop over to his quiz
Channel I’ll leave a link in description I’ve got nearly a 100 quizzes on there now that I’ve made and and they cover all different topics and if you enjoy doing quizzes and it offers you that little bit of entertainment then why not click subscribe on his quiz Channel as well I’d really
Appreciate that to help us make that channel grow a bit quicker anyway having said that I’m going to pop back in I’m going to take these backing doors where I know the’re safe keep seeing little bits
Of grass or something growing in some of these best to take them out even a little piece of grass it’s taking up valuable root space at the this point so we’ll get these back IND doors get them back under them lights and encourage some growth and I’ll probably be back with
You in a day or so we’ll see what else we can do hopefully this is going to die down earlier than this forecast but don’t hold your breath so stay safe stay warm and I’ll see you soon take care

Hello ivan just wanted to ask when could i sow bell peppers x
My greehouse window blew off,I forgot to close it.,
Love your vids mate, Your enthusiasm is contagious. Your going have me growing leggy plants I don’t have much space in day light to grow anything lol but seeing how happy you are with yours.. I’m Guna go sow some seeds right now lol
Ohh dear, I'm glad you haven't had too much serious damage. Fingers crossed for you in the coming storm's. The seedlings and looking fantastic too… Which reminds me to get my peppers separated this week. Thanks for the update and take care Ivan
im always scared to transfer sweet peas and peas but as well as the ones ive got outside ive sown some more in moduals in the green house as i got a mammouth blue i dont want to get eaten till i get some baskets for them ,, do you prefer to grow sweet peas up ? or down?
Yes that wind is terrible, thank goodness no damage. Things are looking nice & healthy there Ivan, did you manage to thin rest of ya carrots. Thanks for the up dates…
Your peppers look nice and healthy.
I bought three small packs of seed spuds today. I'm supposing I have to keep them in a cupboard till its time to plant them.
We got up to 38F so far today. Hopefully we are over the freezing weather for awhile. Rainy, but warmer. Your peppers are looking great. I need to get some planted this week, I'm so ready for spring,,,but not summer,
Thanks for the update Ivan, so pleased you didn't get to much damage. Good luck to you and all the followers, with the coming storm. Looking forward to more seed growing. Thanks for sharing.
WoW! Your peppers are looking fantastic, Ivan. I only sowed mine a week ago so way behind yours. They are just starting to germinate.I've grown the long reed peppers and the snack size peppers this year. No bell peppers this time. Happy gardening.
the wind,s been awful my fence is wrecked and the ivy which was huge has come down ,my fault i should have kept it in check but i didnt have time, im just retired so the plan was to cut it right back to get more light where i want to grow veggies this year but i left it and now ive got one huge mess to try and sort out .
I was getting worried bout cha last few days…..super that you didn't have any more damage than you did. Project for another day is endless for a garden lover…even when we get one done I think I find another to add to the bottom of the list! Just grateful I have the energy/good health at 73 to see progress somewhere in spite of mother nature. Carry on……👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks Ivan for this update, at the moment I've not got much to get damaged but my ancient little greenhouse has been dancing about in the gales, I was going to erect the new one but thought I'd leave it for now, which was a good idea. I think that the next storm which will hit us tomorrow morning may be more rain than this one and not quite as much wind, (touch wood). Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thanks for your video.
Stay safe and stay warm 😊
I love your sweet peas and broad beans, looking amazing!
Peppers looking good! i'm really struggling with onion germination 😞
Good morning from sunny Florida
