Longing for it to warm up a bit so I can be outside pottering about in the garden. Thank you for sharing, bfn.🐞🌻🌱

the turkish orange eggplant is quite bitter, just an fyi!

Sterling effort...

Nicely planted I like your technique:)

Enjoyed this video and shared it with another channel who I think could use the info. We buy compost by the cubic yard - $40. It needs to be aged for about 3 months or more because it is not quite ready when delivered. I suspect that yours is the same.

Now on ep. 6. I enjoyed your show and tell. It is great that you have access to the rabbit poop. When im at home I’m in Ottawa, Canadá (transplanted Brit decades ago) and so there is no easily available manures. Interesting idea to store the paper outside in the rain. I did that last year nd as you say the tape came off very easily. Will continue going through your videos and I will go back and check that I have liked the ones that I have looked at (keep forgetting to that). Thank you for sharing your journey.

Congratulations on two years. It has been so inspiring and motivating to watch your channel! ❤❤❤

Wonderful idea to have a yearly get together, especially in the winter months for a boost (may need to encourage my family to do this next year). Love the plans so far and the layout looks really good, so many different growing spaces.

As a veganic gardener, I completely understand why you did this and the mixed feelings of remorse and excitement that you may be feeling. I try to have no-dig garden beds too due to wanting to protect the worms but we are blessed with sandy soil. Sometimes there are conscious decisions that we need to make to have productive gardens. We are on the survival food chain too but are cursed with consciences. 😘

Some great tips and ideas there Kerry , here's to a successful year on the plot . Consider leaving space for a second pitstop area ,sometimes it's nice to sit and view your handiwork from a different angle . Congrats on 4k subs.

What you will find is that there will be a bloom of weed seeds that will germinate when it warms up. You'll want to keep ontop of that in the first year and then it will be better in following years once that seed burden is reduced. Don't allow any weed to flower and go to seed as that will just perpetuate the problem. One flower can dump hundreds of seeds on the plot.

What a great place to be plot planning! 😄 If you need extra shading I drape debris netting over the outside of my greenhouse 😊

Hot tub? I’m not jealous, I’m not jealous. I’m honestly not! Gah I’m so jealous! 😂. I’m not normally a fan of rotavators either but oooh it looked lovely when you’d done. I’d say minimal disturbance describes my gardening style too, when I do dig I spend more time apologising to the chopped up worms than actually working! 😂. Congrats on 4k, well deserved!❤

Has your No Dig club badge been rescinded 😂😂. But needs must as you say 👍👍. Looking forward to this new plot. Have a fab week planning, Ali 🌞🥶🥶🇨🇦

Sorry I can’t help chuckle at your rotivating waddle 😂 Gosh you’re making me want to be sitting in a hot tub right now. Hope you had a lovely break and congrats on 4,000 subscribers 🥰🥰

Great way to start the year and plan out the new plot. When planning my plot I included a space for wildlife in the design, we aren’t allowed ponds but I’ve built a bug hotel, bird feeder, bird bath, and a few nest boxes. Will also plant out lots of flowers for pollinators in the wildlife area and scattered throughout the plot amongst the veggies.

Loved the vlog. Congratulations on all your new subscribers. You deserve it. ❤

Please don't shred leaves with a lawn mower. Leaves are the winter home of so many insects. Ladybirds, butterfly eggs, spiders, woodlice ( excellent for breaking down woody materials) worms and so many more. Shredding will kill them and their numbers are decreasing alarmingly so we need to preserve them .

I totally agree. After Allotments the Greed and must have starts....

Looks like the perfect place to be in January. Impressed by your plan, very organized. But don't forget us that find chaos entertaining. 😉 I had this idea when I get a garden, that I wanted flower beds in different colours - all purple/blue in one, yellow/orange in one, the white bed, red bed and so on, and started making lists. I'm pretty sure I'll end up putting random things in where there is a spot. And allow wild flowers to do as they please. I heard someone say you should watch a garden a full year before making decisions. Guess it makes sense for big structures, I might watch it an hour. An allotment plot is totally something else, sounds like you have solid plans. ☺

You know you're addicted to sowing seeds when you think "Oh no, I need more room ... I know, I'll empty the hot tub of water, fill it with topsoil and sow them in there!" I did once plant up an old metal bathtub with dahlias. It worked well for a few years until the bottom fell out. Which reminds me of the joke my dad used to tell me - If you unscrew your belly button, your bottom will fall off!

cheers from your hot tub time machine lol your new plot is gonna be fab how lucky it was all dug over its nothing like the ones I saw a few years ago where it looked like the lotties time forgot and nature had reclaimed them lol it would have taken all year to clear them and probs no planting

You seriously need a wood chipper😀

Sounds like you had a great time. Love the hot tub edition where you talk about your plans for the year. I don't see any harm in rotovating the new plot the first year, especially if you have clay. Will give it a bit of a chance to get some more organic matter in it. I don't think it is always a hard and fast rule and at the end of the day, it is your plot to do as you like. Congrats on 4k! Take care!

Looks like a lovely place to have a getaway Kerry. Excellent tips for setting up an allotment. Rotators are so unweildly aren't they, they kind of take you for a walk 😂 It will be interesting to see how many weed seeds come up after you've rotavated, the soil did look lovely afterwards. Great update 😊

Such a lovely annual get together! 😀 Congrats again on the 4K, you make it look so easy...while drinking bubbly! 😂😂 Central path idea is great and also seeing you use pictures on the plan rather than just text. So much easier to visualise it. 💚🌿

You should have no shame. I can't imagine how tiring it would have been to broadfork the whole plot. Also where are you going to sit to have tea?

Have no guilt in rototill of the garden to start. I used to rototill every year. Sometimes you just have to pick your battles and get going. Yes, there may be a few more weeds but a hula hoe/stir-up hoe will help with that. I agree minimal disturbance is the way to go because strict no dig just is not always possible. Congrats on the 4k! Love the idea of a lodge break with the girls. Looks like fun. I think it's so interesting how some love symmetry and others random. I'm a random gal. Here's to 2025. 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

Great vlog , im really looking forward to watching your new plot come to life , thank you for sharing

Cheers! I am going to have to rewatch this, as I was somewhat distracted by my mushroom burger...no really! I was sooo hungry! 🤣I totally want a hot tub cabin break, thats like my dream holiday...books, gardening, p&q, countryside and fizz! I love that you are going for symmetry ...another dream! 😊

❤🧑‍🌾👍

I have my garden and my allotment plot as no dig, but I have recently taken on an additional plot wich is really overgrown. I therefore plan to dig over and weed the plot and then start my no dig plot. I haven't got the time for landscape fabric/ cardboard to get rid of the weeds so this. sadly, is the quickest, but by no means, the easiest was to achieve a cleared site in readiness for planting. I'm hoping all the micro, mini beasties and the worms and ground beetles will forgive me. It's a beautiful plot , you have. Happy growing 🙂

We all looked so intune with each other with the sped up move about - and the rotavator bit was just as funny/scary as I remember 😂 Great little break and thankyou for all your help- warning you now tho that no matter how much you teach me I will be asking many more questions this year (most of them daft ones I’m sure!!!) 😂 Oh and I hadn’t thought about room next to the greenhouse for water butts- so a bit more shifting for me to do!

Bonne année🎉!

So went to the beginning and will start to watch from there. It’s 15 Jan 2025. Nice intro and overview. The previous plot holder seems to have done a very nice job of maintaining the plot. Pretty rare in my experience - you are (were) very lucky😊

Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻 Encore une belle vidéo bravo Une coupe de champagne, un spa,du soleil quoi de mieux pour se détendre. A bientôt

Not sure if you’re aware that the. Potty mouth garden are looking for a new female contributor to join. It’s the big leagues but you would be very good on it Kerry..

Very nice video. I will be looking back at your catalogue. I have watched a few (haphazard) in the past but I do find your videos kind of compelling. Lots of useful info even for a gardener of more than 40 years. Thank you for putting this material for all to see. Our season in Ottawa, Canada doesn’t start until April and right now I am in Spain literally sunning it up for a while :). Take care.

It's so exciting!!!

What a great way to start the year! Enjoy your new plot - it looks fabulous!

What a lovely way to plan your plot and the growing season ahead. Plot is looking great now after all the work. The soil looks fab. Enjoy the rest of your holiday ❤ xx

Congrats on the 4k🎉

I hope that you have a nice January break. The allotment plan looks great. You have to make the plot yours and put the path ways where you want them to be.

Wow! Kerry, your new plot is amazing, i don't blame you for rotavating, that would have been a big space to broadfork. Love your new designs, and your genuine excitement for the growing year is infectious. I'm off to do some planning. Thankyou.👍❤❤🐕

I would build a garden shed and have it dual up as a potting shed with a polycarbonate roofing for light, I want to build more compost bins but want to have a hot bed joing them and have a cold frame on top.

Goodluck for the new plot tfs sylvi

Hot tub garden planning 🤔sounds catchy 😁.

It's so exciting to plan a new plot 🌅🥂🛀🐕🌝👍
