  1. I put my broad beans last October with the snow we had its bent them over and the plants at bottom just at soil. Are all black do i dig them up or leave. Them they are only six inc high. Thanks

  2. Some great content and helpful tips and in particular on sowing compost and I will definitely be following your tip when sowing some of my Real Seed Co tomato seeds shortly [another great tip of yours]. I have already recommended a friend gets B&Q’s Verve Multi Compost at £6 for 125L – superb value.

    This is my first season having a crack at gardening at the age of 50, following redundancy and a detour to hospital for open heart surgery last year, and I am ready to make plenty of mistakes but at the same time I look forward to counting some successes too! I have found embarking on this journey has been hugely therapeutic and of course there’s the added exercise battling at exorcising my modest intended 6×4 bean bed of wretched bindweed and stones…..need to erect a raised bed for the next project!

    A good matter of fact/wry presentation style tinged with an inimitable underlying dry humour. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video and I shall look forward to more gems to help inspire my future endeavours.

    Thanks again and onwards and upwards – well at least growing stuff anyway!

    Cheers

  3. Love your videos and looking forward to receiving your newsletters. I’m new to the allotment world but like the previous comment I am finding it extremely beneficial following being made redundant last year. Thank you for the tips they are helping me no end.

  4. Handy tips on YouTube and this has brought me to you. Am a South African living in the Netherlands and really need Northern Hemisphere tips on gardening. Thank you

    1. When you go on the website a form ought to pop up for you to submit your email address, you do have to confirm your subscription. If you have any problem please let me know.

  5. Appreciate if you could add me to your newsletter subscriber list. The videos are really helpful – we suffered a lot on tomato blight last year. I work as a volunteer on a charitable organic farm which have learning difficulty adults who visit together with older people. I would like to grow 5 varieties of tomatoes both plum and some larger ones this year -about 250 plants so all who visit us can have a free goody bag. We have a couple of poly tunnels but I would like to also grow the majority of plants outside.

    1. Hi Kirti
      Apologies, your post seemed to have slipped the net. Have sorted out what varieties of tomatoes you are growing or do you still need some advice?
      Although you say that you would like to grow the majority outside my experience with tomatoes would suggest although this is viable your crop will not be anywhere near the size of those from the polytunnel. I think your volunteering project is super and I am delighted to offer any help I can to help your project – just ask.

      Welcome to Learn How to Garden, my own allotment and garden is based on a mixture of raised beds and no dig beds so most of the techniques that I film and talk about would work perfectly for you.

  15. Hi, would like to subscribe, thanks. …also can I grow butternut squash using climbing frames , like runner beans ? To save ground space ? Many thanks, regards. .

    1. Hi Silvano

      Welcome to Learn How to Garden, you have been added to my subscribers list.

      You can use frames for growing squash and I grow a few varieties using this method but you have to be aware that your frame will have to be stronger and also for butternut squash you will have to support the fruits otherwise they will snap off. I will be filming this year how to grow squash on a frame!

      Kind regards
