Tomato picking day. Hey up everybody.
0:03
It's gardening with Ben. As you can see
0:06
with absolute like tons of tomatoes
0:09
ready for picking. I've got to say this
0:12
year has probably been my best year for
0:14
growing tomatoes. Yes, I cheated and I
0:17
bought the plants myself. I didn't grow
0:18
them from seed, but we bought the
0:21
million sweet million tomatoes which is
0:23
the little cherry ones and some beef
0:25
steak tomatoes. We not had loads of beef
0:28
steak tomatoes, but we've had loads of
0:31
these sweet million. Now, they
0:33
definitely get the name right on this
0:34
one because we have had absolutely tons
0:37
of them and they still just keep on
0:39
giving all the time. The more you pick
0:41
them, the more they seem to grow and
0:43
yeah, fingers crossed they'll keep
0:45
fruiting up till October. Well,
0:48
hopefully that's the plan anyway, as
0:50
long as we keep them alive. But we've
0:52
got this water irrigation system set up
0:54
onto them. So, it waters them twice a
0:56
day for 15 minutes, which is pretty
1:00
good. It waters them in the morning and
1:02
at night. This irrigation system, what
1:04
I've put in, has been an absolute
1:06
lifesaver. It's done fantastic. And all
1:10
you need to do as well is just keep the
1:11
water topped up with water. And I put
1:14
some tomato feed in it every week so
1:17
that it feeds them as well when it's
1:19
watering them. So yeah, I've been
1:22
absolutely impressed with the water
1:24
irrigation system. It's making me want
1:26
to set up my whole a lotment with
1:30
but it's been an absolute godsend. So,
1:32
let's get these tomatoes picked and
1:34
let's get them harvested and let's see
1:36
how many we actually get from the plant.
1:41
So, that's them all harvested. There's
1:44
still a lot left on there, but they're
1:45
still orange at the moment. They're not
1:46
brilliantly red yet, so we'll leave them
1:48
to ripen a bit more. So, let's see how
1:50
many we've actually harvested.
1:54
Look at all these. Absolutely delicious.
1:56
These are going to last me a few days.
1:59
Can't beat it. Nice and tasty. And yeah,
2:02
hopefully a nice treat. We'll just eat
2:11
So, thanks for watching today's video.
