Can’t believe just asked on it yesterday really nice and bright it’s so brilliant if you got plants in your Greenhouse that you’re trying to bring on a little bit because we have had quite a few weeks of low light levels so it’s going to help these onions put a bit size on
You can see that although they’re growing ain’t growing very fast and they’re spring onions and that beetroot is pretty much the same as it were when we looked at it a couple of weeks ago so we
Welcome any amount of sunshine that we can get at this time of year and apparently we’ve got five continuous days of sunshine on way next week but that comes with a price because it’s going to be nice and clear and sunny at day the temperatures are going to really drop at night
And the latest update is that between Monday and Friday they’re going to vary between minus two and minus four so although we appreciate that little bit of warmth that we’re getting in greenhouse and that extra brightness to bring us plants on we got to be very
Careful at night because Frost is going to wipe a lot of plants out if you don’t protect them so we’re back on fleece again today unfortunately which is why I said don’t put your fleece away just yet I’m not going to cover anything up now because we’re going to take advantage of that
Sunshine but it’s there when I need it later on and I’ll just cover everything up just to be safe I noticed that one of these strawberry plants started to get new growth on it already
We still got a little bit of old stuff on here which I just get rid of as I see it but if you look inside there we’ve got all brand new growth there and there’s a couple of little strawberries on there as well which is pretty amazing for this time of year so
Although P did say don’t rush into seed sewing don’t mean you can’t come out just do a little bit maintenance get lots of weeds in these little pots you don’t want it taking up rot space Little Flower on it as well down here so I’m just going around today since it’s not
Raining for a change and I’m just doing that job I’m just going around and I’m pulling up any weeds in these little strawberry plants that looks a lot better for the sake for a few seconds we’ve got a nice strong healthy plant aren’t we same thing with this one lots and lots old
Leaves that are not good anymore you’re better off cutting these off they can be quite tough to get off and you don’t want to be pulling your plants out now they’ve got established so all this can go this one’s also got a little flower on it so a dry day it’s
Not windy that’s all encouragement I need to come out and do a bit of something it’s just getting yourself prepared for spring rest of these are a bit tough so just going to cut those away with scissors and we’ve now got another nice plant fresh growth aren’t we
And get all these done in no time at all I never th those carrots are either I’ve just left them I could still thin a out if I wanted to if I just take one out
There’s nothing on it they’re just tops so we can still thin these out if we want to try and get some Bigg carrots out of it just find it makes it that much easier if you just push
Everything back and you can see a nice line to work to so as you can see lots of carrots in there they’re a bit too close together there’s a bunch all there so just taking some away you
Don’t have to pull them out if you don’t want to you can just cut tops off and just give yourself a bit of space like we’ve got a bit of a gap there now right there if you can see that I’ll
Take some of this away them two they’re way too close together you’re not going to get much or anything so even though you don’t really want to because they both look like really healthy plants it’s just a case of taking one away I’m going to take this one and I think there might
Be a bit of a carrot in there there you go we’ve got carrots on way and look how straight that is brilliant so it just shows you that we are definitely getting something from this 5ot
Container that we filled up with carrots but if we want something a bit bigger than that we’ve got to thin them out and again it’s one of them jobs to get done while you can’t do much or anything
Else two very close together there basically side by side so i’ just take away the smallest one there’s also one behind as well so we’ll get rid of that and then we can start and see that we’ve got a few weeds that one sting out as well so now that
Carrot has got plenty of space to grow on and so is the one next to it so that’s all we’re just going to keep doing just going along selecting the biggest one getting rid of another and that’s quite a bit of length to it already considering how deep that container
Is that one was doing quite well but we some bigger carrots than that so it’s just something you’ve got to do and it don’t hurt to do this and be weeding at the same time again they’re all bunched
Together so we’re just going to keep thinning and thinning and yeah we’re going to get a lot less carrots and it’s a shame to be pulling them up when they’re like that but I just want want something a bit thicker from here that’s a small one again but we’ve now got a
Really good Gap from there to there it’s a pity they weren’t a carrry in between because there’ be plenty of space but either way we’ve got a gap another Gap and so on and we just need to do that all way down that container and what else you’re going to do
On a Saturday morning except just get that job done but apart from that there is some carrots behind as well they are spaced a little bit better so of next few days we’ll work on that entire container and get it all completely thinned out I hav checked
This beetroot for a while we kept outside either let me just take one out see what we’re looking at well we’ve got the start the something they’re not very big but we multi soed loads into that container because we’re after Baby Beats more than anything and as Lamb’s lettuce is still trying
To grow away in those pots got a couple of those just starting to Art up a little bit in the center there got some damage leaves on them but we can expect that this time of year I’ll just take those
Off but we’ve got a few bits and Bobs going on so I’m basically just going to let this container keep growing until everything dies back and then see what we get out of it there’s one down there that looks to be a bit bigger so they’re doing something
Anyway we didn’t get much from these though unfortunately those are those Florence long red onions and they didn’t cope very well I think I should have left these in Greenhouse they got plenty of roots on them but they’ve not amounted to anything and
They’re certainly not red so I think those being salad onions would have benefited by being left in that Greenhouse it’s too late for that now but we are growing some more of those quite soon I hav cleared these oop tunnels out yet they still got a
Couple of cabbages in but they’re no good now those they’ basically gone to seed so as it starts to get warmer we’ll get these oop tunnels cleared out ready for some fresh stuff going in but obviously I’m not going to be doing a lot outside at the moment and
These strawberries that are outside as well these are now starting to put on some fresh growth so it’s very slow but the hardiest things that we’ve got are trying maybe at some point I can get around to fix in that Greenhouse door and get in this Garden tied it
Up maybe we’ll get some compost this year as well don’t hurt to have a bit of a digging here now and again just to see what we’ve got we just keep putting cardboard on any grass cuttings and then
Just aerating it a little bit just give it a turn that’s just going to help it a long way but you can see that we’re starting to get some it just needs to break down a bit
More and then that one is the one that we filled so this is the oldest stuff hoping to get a bit of Summer after that in Spring so a little bit of Maintenance goes a long way rather than concentrating on sowing seeds now we know that we’ve got a full week and minus
Temperatures AR way it’s not worth your while at the moment you might as well just wait just a few weeks until it starts to get lighter and warmer for us normally we don’t get as less Frost until
Mid May and that’s quite a way off so the more we can do in here the better anything that’s outside that’s still alive as elit home so they’re going to be perfectly fine we haven’t got a lot outside
At the moment the strawberry plants we don’t even cover those up and the minus temperatures don’t seem to bother them so we’ll just concentrate on thinning that carrot container out so we can get some bigger carrots out on it in a few months time keeping his eye on that garlic and those
Broad beans and just enjoy the fact that although it is going to be quite cold this coming week we’re getting a nice amount of sunshine which is going to encourage these already established plants to grow that little bit quicker so if you’ve got any plants outside get your fleece
Out and make sure that they’re all covered up by Sunday night if you’re not already part of the channel and you want to see what we’re doing on that lead up to Spring please hit that subscribe button press that notifications Bell and I’ll see you next time take care

felt like spring didnt it for a few hours
i swapped all the stuff around to where the sun was today now i could see it haha
Ivan, plants are confused and trying very hard to please. I have 2 strawberries looking like yours, 6 month old beets and cilantro doing well. Did you say I can pot up the beets?
I have only 15 minutes at a time to garden, concerned that my spouse will need me so stated to garden on the front porch.
Can you tell I'm eager to garden again? Oh, scissors are a good idea, thank you.
Yes lovely bright day Ivan but so cold at night, thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure my fleece is on this weekend, not much to cover but better safe than sorry aye..
Your carrots are looking great. Mine are still very small and we are suppose to get down to 6F next week. They are outside. Do you think I should cover them?
I use the carrot thinings for cooking. The baby carrots are tender and sweet lightly boiled and the carrot tops can be added to soups, salads, pesto and also sauted. Very informative video's.
Great to turn your compost, Ivan.although it will decompose more quickly if you add the cardboard shredded or torn into small pieces, but I expect you already know that. Your carrots are doing well and how amazing that you have strawberries and flowers on your plants- fabulous! happy gardening 😃
Ivan we have an ice storm hit , it's dark cold and wet , i have a big pot of stew on so we would have something hot to eat when electric goes off ….. you all stay warm and you all have a good day !
Thanks Ivan for this great update, I wonder what type of strawberry they are as it's amazing that they're flowering and fruiting at this time of year. I bet some of those little carrots would be nice in a stir-fry or even a salad. Take care and all the best. Stevie
There's ALWAYS something to do in a gardeners day. This time of year the list is usually the less desirable and not so rewarding jobs. We have to look at them as an investment….. For our upcoming gardening season.👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks Ivan for another great video. I have some strawberry plants in my greenhouse and one plants has two strawberries on, one is nearly ripe, although I doubt it will taste very nice. I must get my fleece out, thanks for the reminder.
Hi Ivan, Dario here from Blades of Glory based in Worthing. How I get in touch with you?
Thank you for the advice on the lights bought them and they are up and running much appreciated.. Les
