October in my Scottish Garden. What I’m harvesting and Planting this month. How I store my veg for winter and some winter prep.
Watch my Grow Light experiment video here: https://youtu.be/QSsLpThVWbA
2021 will be my 3rd year growing in the greenhouse and 4th year growing in raised beds. I’m still learning! I can’t wait to share my garden adventure with you and share recipes I make with the produce from the garden.
Welcome to MoggyBoxCraft – You’ll find me up-cycling, baking, cooking, DIYing, growing fruit/veg in the garden, furniture upcycling and decorating, and sometimes DIYing costumes. I’ll be uploading some other life/random videos so you’ll have to stay tuned…
Enjoy,
Deborah x

The green mesh is a genius idea!
Great garden and greenhouse video Deborah and the garden is doing well 👍I am giving the ground a rest from onions, shallots and garlic this year so I can focus on growing other things. Love 🥰the video and love 💕Deborah & Andy.
With that plastic mesh be careful…. I've got it and it's gone brittle and is breaking into little pieces over my bed and path!
Ooh I love jet washing ! Great job 👍 thanks for reminding me to get some garlic planted.
On a mission this week, to clear most of my beds & polytunnel. Cutting our grass has been a bloomin nightmare this year…..we have so many tiny frogs‼️🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🙈
Have a good week Deborah x
You always make me feel better. You have a great gift! Yes, I will grow some lettuces, onions, and radishes in my garage this winter. Later, I will start other seeds. I have an old industrial freezer rack with led lights. I wrap it up in bubble insulation to keep the heat in. My garage is usually colder than it is outside. When days are warm, I roll it over to the door for some heat and sunshine.
Videos are a great help.
Thank you
Most of the planning and sowing for winter has to be done by late summer, but you can also grow lots of things like pea shoots for salads or soups or just snacking as you go). For peas, I buy huge bags of Green Muttar peas, which you can a) cook and eat, b) sprout and c) sow to grow more peas and they're foolproof. I just fill a pot (say, 4-6" diameter) to about two inches below the rim with clean compost, lay a single layer of peas until you've filled the surface of the soil and top up with another half an inch of soil. Water. Give them some light on a window sill or under grow lights. When the peas sprout, they'll expand the soil, which is why you need a good head space in the pot or they'll spill over. You can snip the tops off in a few days and leave them to grow for about three harvests.
By all means compost those bolting carrots, but the carrot tops are a crop too. If you don't want to eat them, dehydrate them, with any other greens, veg (including those wee carrots) and crumble or powder them into homemade green/veg powder – useful for so many things, including home-made supplements for nutrition. You can buy your own empty capsules to make them. Just take them as often as possible with lots of water for free vitamin and mineral supplements and you don't need to worry about "additives", or just still the powder into soups and stews. I'm currently preparing nasturtium leaves like this (the flowers are even better, but I want the seeds this year …) for year round lutein supplements. In the US, lutein is prescribed for people suffering from eye conditions like, I believe, macular degeneration. I see you have nasturtiums growing in your garden. Mine were sown late into a new sleeper bed filled in lasagne layers with garden waste, topped with garden compost and have gone absolutely mad.
Really enjoyed your vlog. What variety of lettuce would you recommend to grow over winter
Loved this video. We are planning to move to scotland and just dreaming about our future garden. Thanks for sharing 💛
