Hey everyone, and welcome back to Gardening with Ben. 10 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,039 Well, when you know that the episode gets published at eight o'clock in the 11 00:00:54,039 --> 00:00:59,000 morning, you know it's been prerecorded. As we are back at work now, 12 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,040 So I recall did some episodes so that you keep getting your podcast fixed, 13 00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:07,280 so that you can keep listening, and hopefully it keeps getting the podcast 14 00:01:07,359 --> 00:01:14,680 out there. Well, hopefully I am still alive fingers crossed. Did you 15 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,280 all see my Instagram post or Facebook post last night? Well, I cooked 16 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,359 my beat route, I tried it. I spent about ten pounds on buying 17 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,760 all the ingredients of the bits of bobs to cook my beatroot. But it 18 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,760 tasted absolutely fantastic. And I've got all the bits and bobs now so I 19 00:01:32,799 --> 00:01:38,519 wouldn't have to pay that again. And basically I looked for a recipe online 20 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:44,000 of how to cook my beat rooted at air fryer, as I love my 21 00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:49,239 air fire and I love learning new things to cook. And basically all I 22 00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:53,280 did was I washed it and scrubbed it, peeled it, which I've never 23 00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:57,040 peeled beatrout before first time. And yes, I've managed to get all the 24 00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:04,719 red out of my fingers, but yeah, we've done that. And then 25 00:02:05,079 --> 00:02:08,080 what we did we sliced it into chips. Now, I've got one of 26 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,840 these chopper machines where you put it in the top, slammed the top down 27 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,240 and it chops it into pieces. And that was fantastic the first time I've 28 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,439 ever used it. I bought it earlier in the year so that I could 29 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,680 use it for like cooking my corse yets and my squashes and stuff like that, 30 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,400 and I thought, oh, give it a try, see see what 31 00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:31,560 it's like. And wow, it really did chop it well. I was 32 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,039 quite impressed. With that, So I'm going to try it on like my 33 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,639 potatoes possibly next and stuff like that to make chippies from them. So I'm 34 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,039 looking forward to trying that. So stay tuned for me trying them out and 35 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:46,960 see if I did to buy any more ingredients to put in the cupboard for 36 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:53,240 them. But yeah, all I did was I obviously chopped them into chips 37 00:02:53,520 --> 00:03:00,439 shapes. I put them in the air fright that'd been spread with some olive 38 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:07,080 oil, and also I used some rock salt grounded into it and mixed it 39 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,639 all together and put them in the air five for about fifteen minutes on roast 40 00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:15,479 at two hundred and ten degrees. Now, the recipe said four hundred degrees, 41 00:03:15,479 --> 00:03:20,199 but my air fight didn't even go up to four hundred degrees, so 42 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,159 I put it at two hundred and ten and we roasted them and left them 43 00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:30,080 for about fifteen minutes. We tossed them around after about halfway through so that 44 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,319 they were even all over, and then after they couched for about fifteen minutes, 45 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,919 I to come all out, and I'd got some paprika, some coryander, 46 00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:51,479 and some let me just check out with me, some cumin and some 47 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,680 cinnamon and also some black pepper. So I just mixed them all in with 48 00:03:55,759 --> 00:04:01,039 some spices, as that gives it an extra and an extra taste. And 49 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,759 to be honest, when I took out of the airfi and tried them to 50 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:10,199 say they coated in the spices, they weren't that spicy. All. The 51 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,120 tasted absolutely delicious. Now they're saying not to put the spices on from the 52 00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:17,639 start, just to do it for the last three or four minutes, as 53 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:24,920 obviously it might burn the spice and then it'd lose its flavor and its taste. 54 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,680 But wow, they were absolutely delicious. So I now know how to 55 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,920 cook beetroot. This is the first time I've ever cooked beetroot in the twenty 56 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,680 years that I've had my allotment. I usually give my beetroot to my mum 57 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,959 and she'll like boil it or do it like that, and then I'll just 58 00:04:43,079 --> 00:04:47,360 eat it raw after it's been boiled. But yeah, I absolutely loved it. 59 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,680 And I'm not looking forward tomorrow because everything might be red when it comes 60 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,879 out. I've done that once before. I ate that much beetroot. It 61 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,360 went red and I'll google him for that. I've got issues and it were 62 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,480 all down to the beat Root, so never google what you think you've got. 63 00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:14,000 I learned that lesson from that. So yeah, I'm absolutely delighted with 64 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,480 that. So what have we got to talk about at the podcast today. 65 00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:24,800 Well, obviously, like I said, I'm back at work, but now 66 00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:33,000 I am busy trying to get things sorted and launched on my new website things. 67 00:05:33,079 --> 00:05:38,000 I've been working hard on that, and I've been working hard on the 68 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,279 podcasts back up and money. I've also been pushing out my Instagram as well 69 00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:46,600 as re something. I've been doing a lot more content for you or I'm 70 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:50,120 posting a daily tip on there now which is doing well which gets a lot 71 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,199 of views on it, and posting some stuff what I've got up to my 72 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,240 allotment, and last night I started posting daily question as well for everybody to 73 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,279 get involved in interact with.

So yeah, that is what we've been 78 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,120 up to So what tips are we talking about today? Well, I can't 79 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,519 believe that I just recorded a full rest of the episode. It weren't picking 80 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:41,800 up the volume. So we've got to talk about what are our favorite flowers, 81 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,800 fruits and vegetables in our allotment? So yeah, hopefully you can hear 82 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,959 me now. I just were ready to upload it and realized it had not 83 00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:56,360 picked up any volume. So fingers crossed, it is working and you can 84 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:02,560 hear me. So what is our favorite plant on the allotment? Well, 85 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,720 I posted this question on my Facebook and Instagram last night, so please don't 86 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,319 get involved and reply to it and let me know what your favorite plans is 87 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,399 in your garden and in your allotments. So please let me leave a comment 88 00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:21,040 and get involved. This is your chance to get involved in this podcast. 89 00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:29,519 So my favorite plan would have had to have been my Victoria plum tree. 90 00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:34,439 However, it has let me down over these past few years. It's done 91 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:40,759 absolutely atrocious. It's not fruited, that looks like it's dying off at the 92 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,879 moment, which I'm not happy about. It's not looking good and healthy at 93 00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:49,920 all. So that would have been my number one plan on the allotment. 94 00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:56,360 But now that is not doing well. It's resigned itself towards the bottom of 95 00:07:56,399 --> 00:08:01,839 the list. So my favorite plan would have to be my futures on my 96 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,560 allotment, as I've always wanted futures. Futures is something that I've wanted to 97 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,720 grow for years, and I finally got round to buying some plants, getting 98 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:18,120 them pottered and getting them in the garden to enjoy. And every week they're 99 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,879 getting bigger and bigger, the plants. They're really taking in the ground where 100 00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:26,399 I've planted them and watering them regularly. I'm feeding them once a week with 101 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,720 chicken manure chicken pellets, and they're doing really, really well. And obviously 102 00:08:31,799 --> 00:08:37,320 I went to Gardener's World and they had this massive display on the wall of 103 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:43,320 all different future plants and they were showing you what they looked like once had 104 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,759 grown well, grown bigger as well, and then you could like choose which 105 00:08:48,799 --> 00:08:52,480 one you wanted and they get a pot of it and you could buy it 106 00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:56,440 and take it home with you. And every nice one that I kept seeing, 107 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,159 I kept saying, is it a hardy one? Is it a do 108 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,559 want to say? Nope, not hardy, not hardy, And I'm like 109 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,720 no, all the best ones weren't hardy and they looked absolutely gorgeous, but 110 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:11,240 we managed to walk away with some and get them planted in my allotment. 111 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,799 We bought a load of bush variety ones, so they're growing well and hopefully 112 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,919 they'll bush out and fill some gaps in and make it look nice as well. 113 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,600 And then we've got the normal varieties as well, so that has to 114 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:31,159 be my best flower on my allotment that I am growing. And then secondly 115 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:37,480 comes in like my sunflowers. My sunflowers looking absolutely gorgeous, and I did 116 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:43,120 share a podcast on here giving tips and advice on how to grow sunflowers, 117 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,399 how to get them nice and big, and how to care for them and 118 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,360 look after them. And my some flowers are starting to grow really tall now 119 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:56,320 now that we're looking after them and feeding them again regularly and watering them really 120 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:01,200 well as well, so hopefully we'll get some massive sunflowers. And then obviously 121 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,679 I've got my sweet peas as well, which are absolutely gorgeous and vagrant. 122 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,000 I picked a load of those today and gave them to my mum as well, 123 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:16,240 so the more you pick up the more they'll do well. So we've 124 00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:22,279 got some beautiful sweet peas as well. But what is what is my favorite 125 00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:26,720 fruit that I grow on my allotment? Now, obviously, like I said, 126 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,360 my Victoria plum tree would have been up there as my number one fruit 127 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,159 tree to grow on my allotment, and unfortunately it's not doing well. It's 128 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,600 looking worse for wear, and if it comes to it, if it doesn't 129 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:50,399 keep fruiting, it will come out. Now the top next fruit well would 130 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,480 have to be my rubbarb. My rub barb is absolutely delicious. Now I've 131 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,240 got sixteen crowns on my allotment, probably all figuring why's he got sixteen crowns 132 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:07,360 on his allotment? Well, that makes me have enough rhubarb to keep picking 133 00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:11,240 it every single week so that I could keep taking it to my parents' house 134 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,360 so that they can keep making me crub balls and have delicious pies as well 135 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:22,360 from my allotment. And obviously, now we're coming on to the time when 136 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:26,279 like blackberries are ready, loganberries are ready, with raspberries are ready, so 137 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,320 you can add them into the crumble as well and they'll be absolutely delicious. 138 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,759 And obviously with rhubarb as well, you can keep freezing it as well and 139 00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:39,200 use it as and when you need it. Now, these rhubarb crowns have 140 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:45,519 been in over twenty years. They are like original from my first things that 141 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,519 I ever planted on my allotment and they've lasted that many years. And I 142 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,039 keep thinking I need to buy some more crowns, but nope, they keep 143 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,879 growing back year after year and doing fantastic on the plot. I'm so pleased 144 00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:01,360 with how my rhubarb is doing on my plot. It looks absolutely fantastic. 145 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,679 And this year I put mulch all around it and it's kept the weeds down, 146 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,240 it's kept it looking good. And yeah, I'm really pleased with how 147 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,759 well my allotment is looking for my roubarb this year. And I didn't realize 148 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:20,480 how big the roots are on rubib until I actually read it. I can't 149 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:26,679 remember the figure, but yeah, they grow massive. They quite flims I 150 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,960 but they grow absolutely far down into the ground. Now. I originally started 151 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000 off with about eight rub barb crowns, but when I readed the area, 152 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,279 I think I did it up. About it must be coming on about ten 153 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:45,360 years now. I did it all up. I put black membrane down, 154 00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:50,480 I lined them all up and yeah, I reput them all back in. 155 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,000 I halved the ball and put them back in, and they're do it absolutely 156 00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:58,080 fantastic. So I'm not going to touch that area as long as I probably 157 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,799 well continue to be honest, because it grow really well every single year. 158 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,639 They're too fantastic and they come back year after year. All I'll do is 159 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,679 just keep putting some fresh mulch down around it as it rots down, and 160 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:16,480 hopefully we'll have rhubarb year after year to come. Now, after my rubarb, 161 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:24,320 my favorite fruit would have to be my cooking apples. Wow. Again, 162 00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:28,279 my cooking apple tree has been in my allotment since I took it on. 163 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,840 I purchased four fruit trees when I first took by a lot, but 164 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:37,519 on that was my cooking apple, it was my plum tree, and I 165 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,399 had a cherry tree and a peach tree as well. Now, my cherry 166 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,799 tree and my peach tree didn't do very well, so they came out, 167 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,840 and obviously if my plum tree doesn't keep doing well, that's coming out. 168 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:52,360 We have planned to two more Victoria plum trees, but they will take a 169 00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:58,679 few years to get going and get growing, so hopefully these will take well. 170 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,240 And if I do up taking a plum treat out, we have a 171 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:09,159 backup and we know that it will grow well down there, So yeah, 172 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,960 I'm looking forward to it. This year, we've got a lot of food 173 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:16,879 on our A lotment. Now, I always say that if you can get 174 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,840 your money's worth back in your allotment from your fruit, you can forget about 175 00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:26,039 vegetables. But if you get enough fruit plants on your allotment, you'll get 176 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:33,000 your money's worth back. Because cooking apples expensive roobarb you're paying like two pounds 177 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,720 for three sticks expensive, you can easily make your money back on your A 178 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,240 lotment. Now we're not allowed to sell stuff on our allotment as it's against 179 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,320 the rules, but if I make back what I've grown, I'm happy with 180 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,639 how well stuff's come out. So if my vegetables fail, at least I 181 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:54,799 know my fruit will have always grown and always done well. Now this year 182 00:14:54,799 --> 00:14:58,759 we're gonna have absolutely lots of blackberries. This year was the first year that 183 00:14:58,799 --> 00:15:05,120 we've had logan berries a lot. They've done fantastic and they're sending out loads 184 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,519 more whips on the allotment. So I'm in the middle of tying them all 185 00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:13,159 up and supporting them all ready for them to grow through on next year because 186 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,159 logan berry's grow through on the canes that grew with the previous year, so 187 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,759 we've got all them to sort out. We've got as grapevines, they're growing 188 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,919 well as well this year. I don't think we'll get any grapes this year. 189 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,440 We'll have to wait and see for that. So in a few years 190 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:33,960 time we'll be having grapes on our allotment as well. Everything's just doing really 191 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,000 well on the plot. It's really taken off and my phone was BlackBerry. 192 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,720 Wow. Now, I didn't realize how long these whips would grow on my 193 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,120 alpment. Literally, I've planted one planet and it's nearly traveled the full length 194 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,039 of my plot and wow, it's done absolutely amazing. So yeah, that 195 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:58,840 has been a bit of a roundup of what's been what's my favorite flower? 196 00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:03,840 We talked about that my future. What's my favorite fruit, which is my 197 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,960 rhubarb, And we're not talked about what my favorite vegetable is. Now my 198 00:16:08,039 --> 00:16:15,000 favorite vegetable has to be my sweet corn. That is absolutely out of this 199 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320 world. Now. I've been growing sweet corn for many years now, so 200 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,440 I've learned how to grow it. Well, obviously you grow it in your 201 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,480 square blocks. You don't grow it in rose because the need to pollinate with 202 00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:32,120 one another to produce the corn. Now, one year I got absolutely devastated 203 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,679 by I was about to pick them, and I thought, oh, pick 204 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:40,840 them all tomorrow. Literally, I came back the day after everyone had been 205 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,840 eaten by mice or rats or something like that, and I was absolutely devastated. 206 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:51,519 Then another year, I saw a squirrel running down the allotment site with 207 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:56,240 a corn in its mouth. Literally a full corner was running with it, 208 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,440 and I thought, we need to sort this, and I told my dad 209 00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:03,720 and my that came up with an idea where he gets the water bottles, 210 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:10,400 cuts the bottom of it and then shoves it over the top of the sweet 211 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:17,279 corn once it's pollinated and it's starting to grow. So he did that, 212 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,759 and he put one on every sweet corn cob because he saves them all from 213 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,480 all the water drinks throughout the year. Saved them all covered every cop every 214 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:33,720 cob was fine and nothing attacked them or ate them, and people on other 215 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:40,079 plots had theirs eating and the squirrel we're taking all theirs. But my dad's 216 00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:44,079 and mine were protected, so we're going to be doing that again this year, 217 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,160 cover all the cobs in water bottles, but make sure you do it 218 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:52,000 after they've been pollinated and the corn is growing on the plant, because if 219 00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:56,200 you do it before they're pollinated, then they won't grow colder and you'll have 220 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:03,039 a bad proce. So yeah, hopefully we're going to get some more fantastic 221 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,880 Sweek corn this year, but that's usually ready around September time. We're watering 222 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,119 the plants like mad every single time we're down there so that it gets the 223 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,640 plants growing big and tall, so that we'll get lots of corn growing on 224 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,720 the plants. So yeah, that has been my favorite things down at the 225 00:18:18,759 --> 00:18:22,880 Allotment. I hope you've enjoyed it. Do get involved.
