Our first crop - We are so proud !!!

Hi
I have just joined this site and wanted to share a great event !!

Me and my wife moved into a new house earlier this year and its the first time we have owned a garden

At the weekend we had our first success; A crop of potatoes!
So proud we videod it !


hopefully, we will be able to share more succeses with you soon

John & Samantha

 

John and Samantha,
a very warm welcome to Gardeners Corner.
Magnificent. Youv'e scored so many brownie points and I've given you ten out of ten for being able to show "garden work in progress" via a video link. Way beyond my ken!!
A couple of comments- not criticisms , I think that you John should be getting down and dirty and giving the filming job to your bloomin' missus. And please ask her to wear gloves for all jobs in the garden, apart from a) serving tea or Pimms
b) light deadheading of little flower heads.
Love to see more of the plot .Are they caulis in the growbags behind the potato action? All looks top notch stuff. Glad to have you in the GC forum,
Jenny namaste

 

Hi Jenny
Thanks for your messsage and comments! I will consider passing the camera to Samantha next time, but I think that she nmakes better subject matter

I do have more clips of our plot and will upload later, I even have some of Samantha (again) cooking some of our first crop in the kitchen

in answer to you question: its brocolli in the grow bags

once again thank you for your message

John

 

I must admit i do all the photography in my household. If my wiff takes a picture of me i have to stand behind the camera to make sure she gets me in the frame I also do all the gardening though cos she's no good at that either. Oh hell i do everything apart from ironing which she is actually veeeeery good at!

 

Hi Scorpio
Dont 'give in' on the ironing mate! Mind you my missus does do a bit of cooking as well. Did a good job with a couple of our potatoes. I videod that as well!

Hi John
Nice Video!! Its certainly brightened up my day. I'm sure I can see a couple of melons in amongst those potatoes !!

Nice to see that you have given you lovely wife the dirty jobs, She certainly seems to be a handful (or two!!)

By the way,just watched the video to the end and i think i saw your wife's asparagus tips!!! Lovely video

 

And I can tell you that you will still get the same thrill from a crop from the garden in 40 odd years time too. At least I still do.

 

Im not sure if we will still be capable in 40 years time!!!

 

Gardeners live long and prosper!

 

Well. Hopefully I live long enough to see the benefits of our hard work this year! I will be happy with that!!


However, I think that my wife, Sam, will out live me, she is the healthy (and hard working) one

Hi Everyone. Took this photo earlier today. obviously they are young birds. but what species??
Can anyone help please, as i quite often see them in the garden
Sam (John's wife!!)

 

Blue or Great tits.......I'm leaning towards Great tits because of the colour.
