Look back over some typical tasks which can be done on the allotment kitchen garden during July.
My passion is gardening whether it’s vegetables, fruit, herbs or flowers. Videos follow my journey in-and-out of the garden. Check out my blog http://www.diaryofaukgardener.com

Sean where did you get your haven't bucket from .love it .😀great video keep them coming.
rain?!
great to see again
I know this is last year’s video, but every time I hear the phrase “shark fin melon” I suffer from an involuntary startled reflex. That vine….was frightening! Anyway, we miss you Sean, but hope you’re having s nice break. ::::waving from New York:::::
Hi sean beautiful video , last nite was a beautiful full moon which I can see right now out of the window , its called the strawberry moon , the begging to start harvesting berries , hope you enjoying this beautiful summer we haven. ; )
Hope your summer is going well. I am middle of building a new garden too. I used straw and 5yr old manuer over grass area that was sprayed last year (😭) to get some real life back into the dirt under, but its pretty hot for a new bed, so I have to say the garden itself is not so great, but the new fruit bushes, are doing very well, and the Herb Perrenial Garden is doing well. Will grow better each year. Looking forward to seeing your garden at the new railway. Changes are hard but almost always best for us.
So good to see your video. Your garden looks beautiful. What a wealth of veggies. Rusty looks happy.
Is it possible to "steer" or train your shark-fin melons? I saw the man on the Castle Hill Garden do that with some other kinds of melons or squash.
Have so enjoyed this update of your beautiful, abundant harvest, delightful rose at 4:18, sweet, dear Rusty, stately, stalwart lilies, promising blackberries, and all the rest, with a chuckle at the sight of the "tail" just before you announced its owner. Thank you for a lovely interlude accompanied by song birds. A very welcome respite. Happy Summer!
Is this last years garden? I am sure after last year you said you wouldn't grow Shark Fin melons again. Plust the plot looks like last years not this years down sized.
Rusty the constant in every video.
Blessing in sharing Sean
Hello,
Do you cover your peas? Mine all seem to have pea moth larva in them!
Sean, will we be getting a July update from the railway allotment? I am so missing the raw footage videos that you used to make in the beginning. It was relaxing and inspiring to get me moving in my own garden. Starting a day watching you work in your new allotment motivated me to get out into mine. I'm hoping we can see some of those once again.
It's terribly hot here in Nebraska. The temperature today will be over 100F (38C) degrees with 85 percent humidity. We are right on track with the average rainfall at 15 inches so far for the year. I haven't had to water much in the garden and the 400 gallon rain water tank has remained full this year. My garden is much smaller this year because of many distractions and needs of family, friends, and neighbors. I still have a few things but not as much as last year.
You made me giggle with the comments about the Shark Fin melon in this video. It was almost admiration with how robust it was but by the end of the summer you were so disgusted with the bully melon that you swore never to grow it again. And you said it really didn't taste that good either.
Have a great July 2018 day. Coming soon to your area.
Nebraska Dave
NOT Shark melon are you crazy🗣
Enjoyed … like the good old days
HI, Sean, we are missing your videos, and enjoy this from last year… But hope for new, even in case you will just weeding-weeding-weeding:))) I have same situation with my plot, were I just starting veg and herbs, and some greens, and to look on your methods of wedding will be very helpful, because when I see your work I'm starting to believe I also can do my)))
Shark melon can be very good tool for weeding for the railway garden, in case to grow it on first year… I'd be happy to try in my plot….But my attempts to find seeds were unsuccessful in our country… Could it be because of sanctions?))))
Those look like jalapeno peppers
How is Rusty doing? I always worry a little bit about him.
Hi, found your channel and immediately subbed! How do you protect your peas in allotment? Mine is all eaten by pigeon?
plot is looking great! another great video 🙂
I think your capsicum is called red horn..and if it is, they are a lovely sweet variety
I so enjoy all your posts. The music this time was just wonderful, too. Diane in North Carolina
My cucumbers are huge. I like growing tomatoes they're also healthy for the prostate. I bought two small goji's this year and they have grown fantastic. Hopefully they will fruit next year. Spring onions are great in pickles, and great in kimchi. A lot is bolting this year, chard, lettuces and spinach. Celery is great to grow and so is beetroot. Celery from last year is now seeding, it's a great bi-annual. I don't have enough room for potatoes. I tried sweet potato last year but it didn't do anything. A great allotment Sean.
Hi Sean you were asking of a new way to keep runner beans, I ferment them in salt with carrots and cauliflower with salt 4 days on the window sill then close the top of the jar and place in the fridge.
