You Sir should have a honorary Doctorate. So much actionable intelligence. Not just book knowledge. I hope to one day be as gifted. What a blessing

[PurringMyrrh]

"Territorially inquisitive" is such a great phrase for a crazy sprawling or climbing plant. 😄❤

[darrendoss]

[jennyjohnson]

It really is the most beautiful time of year in the veg garden. Morning mists, everything dripping with dew makes all the veg take on different hues. What a wonderful garden tour. Never the end, just the beginning of another season. Thankyou Charles for all your thoughts and positivity.

[Louise]

Thank you for taking the time to add the time stamps/chapters and details about the plants. I really appreciate it, it must take some time to do 🙂

[DownGrand]

The Codling moth larva wriggled out of it's exit hole as you cut into the apple!

[ibrstellar]

Those sun flowers still looking great and the Dhalias.

Charles, you can try what i did in my Greenhouses to grow strawberries up out of the reach of animals and crawling bugs. I hung cheap lightweight aluminum gutters on the walls of the GH and filled them with compost and a single irrigation tube lengthwise that distributes compost tea and/or Aquaculture tank effluent to feed everything that grows in the GH.

[heidireisenegger]

😍👏👏👏 Hallo Charles, das ist eine wunderschöne Gartentour. Ich würde gerne mithelfen. Liebe Grüße 🤗💜🙏🍀👋🇨🇱

[Berkeloid]

How interesting, right at 11:36 when you cut into the apple, you can see the larva make an escape out through the hole it bored into and fall onto the ground

[GarrettXHolder]

Wow to have a pasture that easy to kill must be nice. Some super strain of Bermuda grass lives in my yard.

NEVER IN OUR EXISTENCE WOULD WE THINK THAT A HEAD OF LETTUCE COULD POSSIBLY HARBOR A "RAINBOW SPECTRUM" OF COLOR PEOPLE WOULD THINK WE WERE INSANE IF WE SAID THAT BUT THIS VIDEO JUST PROVES THAT IT'S TRUE LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY

[andrewphillips]

Brilliant 'slow tv'. I put it on when working sometimes, then experience an overwhelming need to go to my allotment and try something new that I've absorbed from the gentle Wisdom Of Dowding.

[PR-kpql]

This man does for growing veg what Prof Brian Cox does for particle physics and astronomy; speaks in a way that you can understand and is passionate about what he knows. I have picked up so many great tips watching his videos

[mamazeeto]
