Hey everyone, and welcome back to Gardening 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,560 with Ben for another brand new episode for twenty twenty five. 13 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,960 While I do enjoy doing this episode because I learned 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,600 something at the same time as you. And in today's episode, 15 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,640 we're going to be talking about all the things that 16 00:01:03,679 --> 00:01:09,200 you can plant in January. Fingers crossed, you've got chance 17 00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:11,439 to be able to plant them. If it's bad weather, 18 00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:15,359 we'll have to wait until later. But most of these 19 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,000 things we can get started in January. Now I talk 20 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,799 about all the vegetables that we can plant this month. 21 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,920 All the fruit plants that we can plant this month, 22 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:28,560 and all the flowers that you can plant this month. 23 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:32,040 So if you've not got a pen and paper, feel 24 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:34,760 free to make some notes. Go and grab a notepad, 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,319 make some notes, and why not try growing some of 26 00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:42,879 these things yourself, as most of these things I will 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,599 be growing as well down at the allotment. Now, the 28 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,640 first thing we talk about is the vegetables. What vegetables 29 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:55,120 can we plant this month? Obviously it all depends on weather, 30 00:01:55,959 --> 00:01:58,719 on the weather, whether you can actually get down to 31 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,959 the allotment or in the garden to be able to 32 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,760 fulfill these jobs. And if I've seen the forecast right, 33 00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:06,439 we are going to get some snow this weekend, so 34 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,719 possibly not. So. The first thing on the list is 35 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,199 broad beans. Now, broad beans can be sewn from the winter, 36 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:19,439 and these will be ready to harvest before the black 37 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,840 fly period, so you won't get uncovered in black fly 38 00:02:23,039 --> 00:02:24,639 like you do in the summer. If you're growing through 39 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,199 the summer period, they will be ready to harvest before 40 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,759 they appear. Now, the variety that you would need to 41 00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:34,199 plant our Aquadulc Claudia. These are a winter hardy variety 42 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,479 that can withstand the cold weather. You can have a 43 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,159 plant them straight in the ground or start sewing them 44 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:47,680 in pots for transplanting later. Onions sets and seeds. Onions 45 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,919 can be sewn from seed in January for late summer harvest. 46 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,000 This method allows for a wider variety of onions compared 47 00:02:55,039 --> 00:03:00,599 to sets. Variety like Bedfordshire Champion are ideal for over wintering. 48 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,560 Start your seeds indoors in trays or modules and transplant 49 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,000 into the garden when the weather improves. Now, obviously, if 50 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,520 you're growing them indoors, make sure they get enough light 51 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,039 or they'll grow legate and you'll just have to chuck 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,680 my away and start them again. So make sure they 53 00:03:16,719 --> 00:03:19,159 get plenty of light so that they grow nice and strong. 54 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,560 Next up is shalots. Like onions, shalots can be started 55 00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:28,080 from seed in January. They produce smaller bulbs with a 56 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,919 sweeter flavor, perfect for roasting or adding to your stewe 57 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:36,120 so in seed trays indoors, ensuring that they have plenty 58 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:39,280 of light and warmth to germinate. That's the thing with 59 00:03:39,439 --> 00:03:41,879 like obviously starting all the seeds at this time of year, 60 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,039 they need the warmth, So if you've not got a 61 00:03:44,039 --> 00:03:47,719 heat of greenhouse. Your window sill inside will be pretty 62 00:03:47,719 --> 00:03:51,159 full from everything. I've only got a small winter sell, 63 00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:53,599 so I can't start many things off. I have to 64 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,199 wait until March to start a lot of my seeds off, 65 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,960 but we have got a few seeds growing at home already. 66 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,840 Next up is garlic. Garlic clothes can be planted outdoors 67 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,680 in January in well draining soil. Hardnet varieties like carcasson 68 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,080 white thrive when exposed to the cold weather. Plant individual 69 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,920 clothes with a pointed end facing upwards, spacing them about 70 00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:21,319 ten to fifteen centimeter the part so that you can 71 00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,079 weed in between them and keep them weed free to 72 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,079 help grow bigger bulbs. Next up is peas. Early varieties 73 00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,759 like Metia can be cold tolerant and can be sown 74 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120 in January for an early crop. These dwarf peas are 75 00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:41,040 perfect for small spaces or container gardening. Now I won't 76 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:43,800 be starting any peas off this early. I usually start 77 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,920 mine offer around March April time, but obviously, like it says, 78 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,959 early varieties like Metia can be cold tolerant and can 79 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,519 withstand the cold weather, so in deep pots or guttering indoors, 80 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,279 and then transplant outdoors when the weather warms up. Leaks 81 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,800 are long seasoned crops, sowing in January and shows strong, 82 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,920 healthy plants ready for harvest in late summer to autumn. 83 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,480 Varieties like musclebird are hardy and reliable. Start seeds indoors 84 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,839 or in a heated greenhouse to protect them from the frost. 85 00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:21,199 So if she wanted some nice big leaks to having 86 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,199 your stew or in soup, feel free to start your 87 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,720 seeds off now. Spinach winter varieties. Winter spinach for writers 88 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,959 like Giant Winter are hardy and can grow well in 89 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,000 colder conditions. Sewing now provides a crop of tender leaves 90 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,120 by early springtime. Sewing trays indoors or underclatures outdoors for 91 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,800 the protection from frost. Next up is lettuce winter varieties. 92 00:05:48,199 --> 00:05:51,720 Hardy winter lettuces like winter Gem or Arctic King can 93 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:55,759 be sown in January for early spring harvests. These varieties 94 00:05:55,959 --> 00:06:00,000 thrive in cooler temperatures. Start seeds in modules in doors 95 00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:06,399 or in a cold frame. Cabbage spring varieties. Spring cabbages 96 00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:10,839 such as Durham early and are ideal for sewing January 97 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:15,720 to harvest later in the year. They produce tender flavorful leaves, 98 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,560 so indoors, you know, in the greenhouse, then transplant seedlings 99 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:26,199 when they are large enough. Kale Kale varieties like neither 100 00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:31,480 the Toscana or dwarf green curled are incredibly hardy and 101 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:35,480 can be started indoors in January for transplanting later sowing 102 00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:39,639 seed trails or modules, and keep them in bright, cool place. 103 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:41,920 That's the thing. Like, like I said, a lot of 104 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,120 these are obviously needing the warmth and window sills to 105 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,399 be planted on. That's why I start a lot of 106 00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:51,240 my stuff off in March, because I ain't got much 107 00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:53,800 room to grow stuff on the window stuff. And a 108 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,399 lot of stuff does actually catch up when you start 109 00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:59,079 stuff off at the end of March beginning of April. 110 00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:04,040 In a greenhouse. Celery Celery is a slow growing crop 111 00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:07,600 that benefits from an early start. Varieties like golden self 112 00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:11,720 blanching are well suited for January sowing sow seeds in 113 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,920 trace indoors, covering lightly with compost, and keep in a warm, 114 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,439 bright place to germinate. Now, these are the things that 115 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:27,079 I have started. Chilies and sweet peppers, although not frost harded. 116 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,959 Chilies and sweet peppers need a long growing season, making 117 00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:35,079 January the perfect time to start them indoors. Varieties like 118 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,079 Jalpino or bell Boy are popular choices. So seeds in 119 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,959 small pots indoors with a heated propagator or warm window 120 00:07:42,959 --> 00:07:47,199 sill tomatoes now. I don't start my tomatoes off till 121 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,079 March time. Obviously you can get more of a crop 122 00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:53,120 from a Michy startup now, but I don't start mine 123 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,639 off till March time. They soon catch up for an 124 00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:59,680 early tomato crop. Sow seeds indoors in January. Early varieties 125 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,240 like Godner's Dight or Ali can to perform well in 126 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:08,879 greenhouse or undercover. Use a heated propagator to ensure good 127 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,319 germination and transplant seedlings into larger pots as they grow. 128 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,160 Radishes Radishes like French Breakfast are quick growing and can 129 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,759 be sewn indoors or undercovered in January for a rapid crop. 130 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,079 Sow Seeds in modules are directly in a call fin 131 00:08:27,519 --> 00:08:31,800 keeping the soil moist for best results. So that is 132 00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:35,080 all the vegetables that you can actually plant this month. 133 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,320 Like I said, a lot of them. I don't actually 134 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,720 start myself until March time. But if you want in 135 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,559 a headstart and you've got plenty of space or a 136 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,639 heat greenhouse, feel free to get started with growing some 137 00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:53,639 of those produce. Next up are your fruit. What fruit 138 00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:56,480 can be planted and grown at this time of year? 139 00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:01,039 First up, strawberries, sweet and versatiles. Strawberries are perfect for 140 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,480 planting in January. Bare roots strawberry plants established quickly, leading 141 00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:09,120 to a strong harvest in summer. Plant bere roots strawberries 142 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:13,039 in a well drained soil or containers much with straw 143 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,080 or fleece to protect them from frost. Now, I planted 144 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,279 two hundred strawberries, but planting them around October time, so 145 00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,279 fingers crossed, they all taken and they'll all grow well. 146 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:27,039 Raspberries are low maintenance fruit, like fives in UK gardens. 147 00:09:27,399 --> 00:09:31,200 January is ideal time for planting bear root canes, especially 148 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,600 autumn fruiting varieties. Choose a sunny location with well drained soil, 149 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,879 space canes forty five to sixty centimeters apart, and provide 150 00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:44,080 with steaks or trellises. Now, if you are going to 151 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,279 be planted in raspberries, make sure you plant them somewhere 152 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,600 where you don't mind them getting invasive because roots grow 153 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:52,559 all over the place and they start popping up here 154 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,080 and there and everywhere. The worse than weeds can be raspberries. 155 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,759 So just make sure they're in a place that you 156 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:04,080 don't mind them growing really out of control. Blackberries, blackberries, 157 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,519 including famness rietis, are excellent for planting in January. They 158 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,279 grow bigger, slight, and provide abundant summer fruits. That is correct. 159 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,240 Now I have got a formless blackberries and wow, it 160 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,480 is absolutely amazing. Plant bear root blackberricanes in nutrient rich soil, 161 00:10:19,639 --> 00:10:26,200 ideally against a wall or Trelley's for support. Gooseberries goosebries 162 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,000 are hard it bushes that thrive in cooler climates, producing 163 00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,279 tart fruits perfect for desserts and preserves all your currents. 164 00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:37,399 You're read white and black again. Now is the ideal 165 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,039 time for planting your fruit bushers, and that goes the 166 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,080 same for blueberries and any fruit bushes. Because it's good weather, 167 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,120 it's wet, it's damp. They'll take root and they can 168 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:50,240 concentrate on growing the roots at this time of year, 169 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,279 and then they will concentrate on growing the fruit in 170 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,919 the summertime. Rubib while ever it's dormant at this time 171 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,159 of year, it's perfect time to get it planted. And remember, 172 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,159 do not pick it in its first year. Leave it 173 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,080 to settle. However much rhubarb grows and it, don't be 174 00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:10,919 tempted to pick it. It needs to concentrate on growing 175 00:11:10,919 --> 00:11:13,720 the crown in the base, So pick it the year 176 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:22,039 after All your fruit trees, apples, pears, plubs, cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines, quinters, figs, grapes, 177 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,200 mulberry's loganberry's keyway, all can be planted at this time 178 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,159 of year. Any fruit plant is the best time to 179 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,480 plant it at this time of year. If the grounds 180 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,440 rock hard, wait until it's a decent time when it's damp, 181 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,919 wet planting. As I say, now is the perfect time 182 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,000 to plant your fruit. Don't plant fruit in summer because 183 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,879 it needs to concentrate on growing the roots while the 184 00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:48,480 tree is dormant, and then it can concentrate on growing 185 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,879 the fruit in the summertime. Flowers, what flowers can be 186 00:11:52,919 --> 00:11:54,960 planted at this time of year. Now, these are the 187 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,600 ones that I'm going to be listening to because I'm 188 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,279 going to be trying so many flowers this year. And yes, 189 00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:02,879 I love my flowers. Now, sweet peas known for fragrant 190 00:12:02,879 --> 00:12:05,080 blooms and wide range of color. Sweet peas are a 191 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,399 classic choice for UK gardens sowing in January. It gives 192 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,360 them a head start for summer flowering. Sow seeds in 193 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,399 pots indoors or in a unheated greenhouse use deep pots 194 00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:18,799 to accommodate their long roots. Now I've got absolutely loads 195 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,879 of sweet peas growing, and I'm going to be ordering 196 00:12:20,879 --> 00:12:25,200 a load more delphiniums. These tall, striking flowers are ideal 197 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,960 for back borders, producing dramatic spikes of blue, purple, and 198 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,759 white blooms. Sow seeds indoors in seed trays provide a 199 00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:38,559 bright cool spot to encourage germination. Loopings are popular for 200 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,799 the tall, colorful flower spikes and their ability to attract pollinators. 201 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,679 So seeds indoors in pots, soaking them in water overnight 202 00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:49,320 to speed up germination. Now I've got a lot of 203 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,519 loopings growing as well, so I'm looking forward to all 204 00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:55,120 them growing. Dahlias now I need to start trying some 205 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,519 daily as have never grown dahlias. Dahlias are a gardener's 206 00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:01,120 favorite for the ball shoy blue in a variety of 207 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:10,080 shapes and colors. January is perfect for starting tubers in doors. Hollyhocks. 208 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,080 Hollyhocks add cotton cottage garden charm with their tall spikes 209 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,080 of color saucer shaped flowers, so seating doors in seed 210 00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,039 trays using compost rich so I'll place them in a warm, 211 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,000 sunny spot. Equallegias have got plenty of those growing, and 212 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,440 now it is again the perfect time to grow them. 213 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:35,440 Fox gloves, pogonias, snap dragons, cosmos, petunias are all perfect 214 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,799 for starting now. Next up is geraniums now. I absolutely 215 00:13:40,879 --> 00:13:44,399 love geraniums, and I'm going to be growing a loadmark 216 00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:47,720 again this year, and obviously starting them off now means 217 00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:50,919 that they'll flower earlier, but obviously it needs somewhere warm 218 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,840 for them to germinate, so I probably won't be able 219 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:55,600 to start mine off till March because I've not got 220 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,960 room at home to start them off at home. So 221 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,919 geraniums are a staple of you gardens, producing colorful blooms, 222 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,720 perfect for pots and borders and hanging baskets. So and 223 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,000 as well with geraniums is that at the end of 224 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,600 the year, before the frost comes, dig them up, move 225 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,120 them to somewhere warm like a greenhouse or polytunnel, keep 226 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:18,799 on watered in pots and then you can replant them 227 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,279 again next year and they'll flower the year after. Marrigols, 228 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:29,159 colundular nasturtians, carnations are all perfect to be planted at 229 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,440 this time of year. Aliums now have got absolutely loads 230 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,799 of aliums in a planted a load to alium bulbs, 231 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,759 so I'm looking forward to them. And aliums will attract 232 00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:42,559 the bees. The bees absolutely love aliums, So if you 233 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,840 wanted to attract the bees to your garden, have a 234 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000 look around and see if you can still get some alliums. 235 00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:48,240 It might be a bit too late to be able 236 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,080 to purchase them, but you might be able to purchase 237 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,000 them online. To have a look around. And zinnias. Zinnias 238 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:58,159 are heat loving flower with bold, vibrant blooms that last 239 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,799 throughout the summer. So seats in doors, in trades with 240 00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:05,879 compost and keep in a warm, bright area. So that 241 00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:08,840 is all the flowers that can be planted at this 242 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,279 time of year. If you can hear banging, it's a 243 00:15:11,279 --> 00:15:16,200 firework in the background. But yeah, that is all the 244 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,240 flowers that you can plant this moth So there's plenty 245 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,840 to be sewing, and like I said, I won't be 246 00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:23,879 sawing many of them. I'll be holding off till March 247 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,120 April time till I can sew them in my greenhouse 248 00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:30,039 which is unheated, so I'll hopefully sometimes we get a 249 00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:33,519 little heat wave in March April time which tends to 250 00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:36,080 start the seeds off and then they seem to look 251 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,919 after themselves and then we plant them out when the 252 00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:44,960 frost has gone after maytime outside.
