Thanks for putting this together Terry, it’s great hearing your thoughts on the 2019 season. I’ve currently got man flu (fortunately not as serious in women 😆) so I had an early night last night and missed this when you posted it. I hope storm Brendan didn’t cause any problems for you. Your broad beans are looking lovely 😊🌱
Nice little review Terry. I always learn a thing or two from your channel. Definitely trying the neem oil this year, in the hope I get a few leeks and onions that are allium leaf miner free! Take care Steve 🧑🌾
My highlight was definitely my parsnips, that usually fail. This time I chitted them and then used a long dibber to create a hole filled it with fresh sieved compost, put the chitted seeds one per station and every one grew to a great size and we still are eating one every Sunday (I learned that from YouTube). Also your tomato trick works an absolute treat and I have a huge supply of tomato plants ready for this year. Thanks for sharing your progress Terry. Oh am going to try the parsnip method with carrots this year!
Hello Terry, this was a good tag. Always makes me think. What would my answer be. So made a note. Sweet candle seems to be a good variety of carrots. In an all year round variety? Unfortunately is not available is the Netherlands. But quite some gardeners seem to grow them. Could you give us the name of the neem oil? Is it a 250ml bottle? I bought some a few month ago, works well. But always looking for cheaper alternative. Take care Joyce 👩🏻🌾💚🍀
Neem Oil is a wonderful product. I've only used it on whiteflies! They aren't really a plant problem, but the adults are a bloody pest. It does work to kill their larva and I swear by it. Since most of what I grow is house plants you can take whatever you want from that info. Your energy levels are much higher than mine. Thanks for sharing.
Those are wise words Mr. T., it's easy to become despondent when we focus too much on the failures. These review posts are great for getting a more realistic (and optimistic) point of view.
You have grown the most beautiful carrots shown on You Tube, Terry. I've got some Sweet Candle seeds for this year's season, but they aren't sown one by one in a tube, so they probably won't be like yours. Nice answers to the tag.
Thanks for sharing. As bit of a late comer to your channel I can’t wait to see it in full bloom! I also love how sustainable you are reusing stuff and look forward to stealing more ideas! 😉 Elizabeth.
Really nice carrots Terry. The neem oil works good as long as you are consistent with its use. Gary at the Rusted Garden talks a lot about it. BT is another alternative, and one I personally like. Take care.
Hi Terry Great answers there. I had a lot of failures this year, but what did well I had plenty of. I've learned a lot from your videos and your helpful comments on my videos. You're a wealth of knowledge. It's also fun to break some gardening rules and try new things. I'm looking forward to following along in your videos this year. I always find them really interesting. Take care Becky
I always learn from your Channel. This year I will be trying to grow carrots in my backyard. I have started my leafmold and I will be asking the local coffee shop for used Coffee grounds. All the best in 2020 Terry😁
Thank you for the video! Those really are amazing carrots. I haven't grown carrots in years because of the sowbugs that eat the seedlings down at night. Actually, the sowbugs and earwigs eat any seedling, so that is why I start everything inside and transplant out once the stems are no longer so tender. I've been thinking of trying to grow carrots in a tub, thinking that if I start with completely fresh soil every year, that the carrots could germinate and grow a bit, getting tougher before the sowbugs discover them. We will see if I get that accomplished.
Thanks terry have a good 2020, I am pleased you like the neem oil, have you watched any more of the rusted gardener channel? Do you grow spinach? I was wondering where your energy comes from lol
You've had a great year Terry and its so pleasing to see you using the cold pressed Neem. It goes quite a long way. Very best wishes for the coming season. Cheers — Elly
Hi Terry, it was very interesting listening to your thoughts on your progress through 2019. Your channel helped me through my first youtube growing season so many thanks to you for all your support. 🙂
my tare gun has been the best buy of 2019. tying in the likes of broad beans will be a five minute job for me, terry. i'm always on the lookout for tools to make life easier……………………..brian
Hi Terry, some very good answers and rightly so you can be very proud about your Malvern experience and results 🏆👍. I have a story to tell about the neem oil and my brassicas, they haven’t grown since I sprayed them, but I will let the viewers decide very soon? Would like to be rubbing shoulders with you on the night before Malvern in the autumn (more like asking for loads of advice 😂). Many thanks for sharing this, take good care kind regards
I learned a lot about growing Fig Trees, over 2019 I have collected cutting from about 10 verieties and I am looking forward to seeing which ones will produce fruit in my location – Snowdonia National Park in North Wales.

Enjoyed this Terry, was good to hear how your year went last year.

I've learnt alot thos year. My main one was how to look after tomatoes properly and I got a bumper crop.
My highlight was definitely my parsnips, that usually fail. This time I chitted them and then used a long dibber to create a hole filled it with fresh sieved compost, put the chitted seeds one per station and every one grew to a great size and we still are eating one every Sunday (I learned that from YouTube).

Your juice bottle canes are still in full production! 😉
Love and learn from your channel every time. So jealous of the free roadside compost. Broads beans are doing well. Thanks you for posting

I need to order me some of those sweet candles. Yours always come out looking awesome!

It is getting time for me to put in my garden and hopefully we will get more rain for me to save
Thanks terry have a good 2020, I am pleased you like the neem oil, have you watched any more of the rusted gardener channel? Do you grow spinach? I was wondering where your energy comes from lol
I want to make more cuttings than my growing space can handle! I can't wait to see your cuttings grow 👍
I've learned that I have lots to learn about gardening and I need to take advantage of space and time
You've had a great year Terry and its so pleasing to see you using the cold pressed Neem. It goes quite a long way. Very best wishes for the coming season. Cheers — Elly
