Подробнее о видео

Hi Everyone! I'm filming this weeks allotment VLOG from a grey plot waiting for the rains to start. You might have seen and heard, or even experienced, early onset late blight this year already! Tomato and potato blight is a serious situation and it's just heartbreaking that i's appears to have arrived very early this year in the UK. In this VLOG I cover how to identify, prevent and mitigate late blight. I also treat you to a tour of my tomato greenhouse to check on how things are progressing. It's a long one!

About: I'm originally from Sweden but have lived in the United Kingdom since 2005. I have been using my allotment and became an allotmenteer since 2018 and love to share everything i have learned about growing my own produce and seasonal food and general organic gardening with you, my green fingered friends! My Oxfordshire, UK, village allotment is managed using the Charles Dowding no dig or no till method of cultivation and is a beautiful vegetable patch☝️ I am a scientist IRL but have no formal horticultural education, just a bunch of enthusiasm 😁 Let me know if you have any questions and video suggestions, and i will try my best to help you out 👍
