Growing Citrus Fruit and getting started with Autumn planting

In today's video we get started with our autumn planting
September means we are in the first month of autumn, but if you sowed seeds in August following our August tips for the month there is plenty to plant out.

We also need your help growing citrus fruit. Have you grown this before? We would love to hear your tips!

Gardening in September is one of the best months being a transitional time. With summer veg still harvesting and the promise of the autumn veg to come.

Welcome to the No Dig Norfolk Gardener and our no dig/no till garden where we grow vegetables. We garden in zone 9a. Although we grow our veg from our back garden it is very much set up like allotment gardening UK - allotment life. Our passion is vegetable gardening, bigger harvests and no dig gardening. You will see how growing your own food is so easy.

Hi there is a channel I watch called "home gardens" in which Dan (I think his name is haha) does grow citrus trees in his poly tunnel. He grows peaches, lemons etc he knows a fair bit about managing and caring for them. Hope this helps as I do look forward to your videos and find them very informative and educational as well as entertaining 😀

I was weeding a pot yesterday that I'd planted seed potatoes in. No plant visible so emptied the pot and found 2 kg salasized potatoes, delicious in today's stew. My San Marzano are ripening beautifully and from the 3 varieties of tomatoes I grew this year I've already had over 15.5kg. Very pleased

Thanks Barrie we didn’t have blight but we did have slugs 😩but managed half a sack so that’s better than nothing. We have some buckets of Christmas ones the first 3 have been dug out by the badger but the rest are looking fantastic and getting flowers. We havnt grown spuds in buckets b4 and we hadn’t grown main crop spuds b4 either. They did grow really big ones so we now know we can even if they did get slugged. We will grow again next year but more we want to increase. Thanks for sharing it all with us👍🙋🏻‍♀️

Hi Barrie I’ve got most of my autumn planting done now 😊 I find red pakchoi bolts quicker than the green here in Hertfordshire 🤷‍♀️ happy gardening

Good luck with your citrus! Gets way too cold here for me to try them unless I brought them in the house during winter.

I did get a decent sweet potato harvest yesterday but many were small. I could have let them go a little longer I guess but I'm concerned about the curing process and didn't want it to get too cold.

I'm still struggling with getting my spinach going this fall. I planted around 15 tiny plants this morning now that it's cooled off here. Not sure they'll survive since they are so small but wanted to get them in since it's supposed to rain. I believe the germination problem I'm having with my direct sow seeds is the unfinished compost that I put on top of the bed I'm trying to start them in. This week I plan on putting down some soil and potting mix on top and sowing into that. Wish me luck. I'm running out of time to get them established before the really cold stuff comes in.

i did plan to plant more of my autumn veg today but it rained so i've spent the day making warm and spicy courgettes. I just adore your polytunnel. So wish I had space. I have loads of space on the new allotment but unfortunately the council has banned them from the plots. Be sure to keep your citrus fruits frost free over winter and ensure on mild days they get plenty of ventilation. Hppy gardening! :-)

My blackberries come from a tow path a hundred metres from home, but it is a real fight to pick them without getting shredded with the thorns. What variety is yours? I might have to get one.

I agree with you about the red Pak Choi. much less likey to bolt, but you always have rogue plants that don't behave. Our lemon tree/plant has 3 lemons on it - Just pure luck really. I don't how to proceed over winter with it.

We have just planted out in frames Leaf beet, Orange beetroot, Mixed leaves, Rocket and Pak Choi.
