July the busiest month, keep up with growth!

I've been in hospital for some time so my garden has been quite neglected. A new Charles Dowding video is just what I need to get me back in the garden :) 🙏

Please keep showing us the fails along with the successes, almost every failure with the tomatos, cucumbers etc you've had are exactly the same issues I've had, I think it's best we share the fails so we don't beat ourselves up not knowing the other factors/variables effecting everyone too

I love that the tomatoes got a "Sorry guys"😁 I thought I was the only one who apologized to my neglected plants!

Actually really appreciate you show the bad ones too, my tomatoes and cucumbers are also far behind and that made me feel less bad about it

It all looks great as always. I'm putting in about 4.5 or more hours a day on the allotment. A guy who hardly turns up, family work, says "I wish mine looked like yours". I think people underestimate the effort needed, radically underestimate, even with no dig. It's a lifestyle choice at the end of the day I think. I use it for fitness, growing my own etc.

Oooh.... it's a brave gardener who leaves their garden mid summer!!! I can hear those slugs yelling 'bon voyage' and gathering their picnic rugs... 😅

I’ve been gardening for over 50 years (north America) and was a bit discouraged with weather etc. This was a great pep talk! 🙏

Looks like you're having a hard time this year just like the rest of us. Thanks Charles for being an inspiration. X

Thank you Charles for still generously sharing your experience and knowledge. I appreciate you are a very busy man with your finger in many pies and you surely must have an ever expanding business, but you still put out these great vids, packed with down to earth tips. Thank you and please keep doing it Best regards Pat

I have an allotment in the Welsh valleys but no greenhouse although I have a small plastic one next to my bungalow. This week is the first consistent warm one we have had and although I have managed eventually to get my seeds to germinate once i get them in the ground they go nowhere. Hopefully now the weather has warmed up they will get growing but I have been growing for over 50yrs and this is the oddest growing year I can remember.

I’ve never heard anyone call powdery mildew “bright & cheerful” 😂😂

Thank you for such an encouraging video Charles. I was recently registered disabled and gardening, especially your videos, has truly helped me come to terms with my diagnosis. No dig gardening is something that can be forgiving when you dont always have it in you. It really helped me to learn to pace myself and not do so much that i suffered a horrible flare up. I really believe that if more people in my position took up gardening they might benefit from it.

Listening to you as I head to Murrayfest to hear you speak!

Keep praying for what you need. We've been fortunate. Zone 6b. We had two tornado watches plus a fast moving storm went through our state. We and garden Tomatoes and 11 different kinds of veggie and herbs. are all good. .... Planted from seeds under lights and cared for mostly by my hubby. ... I thinned carrots yesterday. It took me three tries at planting them this spring. I also planted Sorrel for the first time after watching you and yours. Really good. Thank you Charles. Enjoy your visit to the states. Safe travels.

How wonderful your vegetable garden Charles ! I remember when I was a child and helping my paternal grandfather make garlic braids ( Ristra de ajos ) .

The carrot situation is ridiculous, I've sown 9,000 seed in batches of 3,000, starting at the end of march and I've got no carrots 😭 Nematodes deployed, night time murder sprees, upside down pots and beer traps for collecting them, the slugs just keep pouring into my garden! They have even started nibbling my ONIONS after they ate all my carrot seedlings, I've never seen anything like it.

great video. I've had this same problem with my garlic, where the outer skin splits. I've notices that birds digging for worms around my garlic can cause them damage. Your tip of peeling before drying was amazing. Much cleaner and quicker to get them kitchen ready

Hola Charles! Aqui.en Argentina comenzamos el invierno y, ayer coseché un ají. Mi huerta está en un espacio con reparo pero el clima está raro y un día está muy templado y al otro tenemos temperaturas bajo cero. Me encanta su forma de plantar y de no siempre seguir las reglas de lo que se supone se debería hacer. La experiencia vale mucho. Saludos desde🇦🇷

Finally a new video 🎉🎉. I've been rewatching the old videos all week 😂. Thank you sir 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
