My parents both asked me why I don’t have a gym membership (I eat whatever I want and don’t put on weight.) I told them I don’t need to go to the gym; I have an allotment! I call it ‘Bikram gardening,’ because it gets very hot an humid!
It never fails to amaze me how I also keep turning up bits of glass in my small garden, despite having cleared and cultivated it for quite a few years now.
Hi Tanya! I'm writing you from Northern Italy and my name is Silvia. I follow yor channel for several months and I love them so much because I've got a garden too and I'm very appationate for it. Thanks a lot for all your precious advises!!! ^_^ Take care! Silvia
Oh man. So true about gardens being behind due to the weather. I said the same thing this morning. Everything seems to be growing much slower than they normally would this time of year.
I'm so glad I found this channel, this is my first video and I'm impressed with your knowledge and skill. I imagine the former owners were delighted to pass their beloved home on to you, clearly it is in good hands. If you could contact them, they might like to have the medal to pass on to family members. Regarding the shed repairs, I was always taught the roof saves the building, maybe start there.
So nice to see the May Garden update, everything looks so lovely. Welcome to your two new family members, they are gorgeous! I have been inspired to film my May garden update today as it’s a beautiful day here in California and I love to share my garden on my channel 😀 I am also enjoying your book, I am so glad that I got it, it’s so beautiful and packed full of fabulous information, thank you for sharing ~ Shary ~👩🏼🌾
It never fails to stun me the rubbish some people leave on their land be it their own or if leased. Hope you found time to enjoy some quiet time in your beautiful environment
You might look closely at that great garden fork to see if it's hand forged. That style of handle attachment would be easier to hammer out than a full surround casing. Cool beans that you're salvaging the cute garden shed. It has a lot of personality. Congrats on the new house and Garden. Looking forward to seeing you develop the garden and making it yours.
Some lucky finds in the new garden, The greenhouse looks as good as new! The shed will be amazing when repaired. It is worth it. My shed was a semi derelict when I moved in, I repaired it, cleaned & painted it. Repairing it has saved me a fortune. I grow my catnip in hanging baskets :) Your videos are so inspiring, I am now thinking of applying for an allotment, as the growing capacity in my little garden is limited. Soooooo looking forward to the next video :)
Those poppies are beautiful! The greenhouse looks lovely all cleaned up. I am so happy you are saving the shed. I think that the same blue as that poppy would be a lovely colour. Amazing to find some treasures inside.
Ah I'm about half way through reading A Woman's Garden and today's vid just popped up. I particularly like how you have weaved the narrative of the book through other folks gardens, that's really good. So much info in there, I'm enjoying it immensely - I've had a wonderful 50th receiving all plant, garden and food growing related gifts. Amazing x

Loved your video and I am looking forward to more ventures you have upcoming 🥰🙌hard work pays off in the end and oh the garden you will have 🙌🧚🪴🌱 it will be wonderful thank you for sharing with us 🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺💞🦋🦎
Lovely vlog to inspire me to get into the garden today. Thank you. Here in New Zealand just harvesting the last of my glass house tomatoes and capsicums. Frost cloth over my still ripening passion fruit . Ordered Himalayan Blue Poppy seeds, love blue flowers.
I am running about two weeks behind also due to the weather. (Indiana, USA). I have always deep planted my potatoes in buckets without hilling them up and they have always grown for me.
Lovely kitties! Have you ever watched Dan on his allotment diary channel? He's done potatoes in containers. I asked him once about the claims of growing large amount of potatoes in a 55 gallon plastic drum. He mentioned not to go higher than 3 feet as the plant will basically be just vines and leafs. He was correct. I've seen that rain gutter method, just haven't done it. I wonder if someone forgot that war medal was in the shed....maybe a previous family might like it.... Good luck with this season!
Your allotment garden is really coming along this spring. On the sugar Ann snap pea...I tried a couple rows of this variety this year as a test. I was intrigued with the 24inch height. I've always grown Super Sugar Snap peas which grow to 4-5ft and are very productive. I was quite busy this early spring and wanted to get peas into the spring poly tunnel so I picked up several 6 packs at the local garden store in mid-March. I also direct seed planted Avalanche snow pea and Iona petit pois, including bunching broccoli in the 16ft bed. Everything is flourishing and doing well. I've been harvesting the peas and am quite disapointed in the Sugar Ann. It seems the peas are as diminutive as the plant itself. I find they have a heavy string along their back and to get the real sweet flavor you need to let them on the vine until they look to burst. My bed is mushroom compost/perlite/worm castings/ProMix soilless (for the peat water retention and mycorrhizae). I did use legume innoculant as well. I'm glad I tried these as a test and not a main crop. This fall I'll be back to the Super Sugar Snap. Hope your experience is better than mine.
well due to that Aamzing vue of that Alotmentt i thought all these Blogs were somewhere in America i would of never said this was anything but BRITAIN WOW!
Hi Tanya. I loved your pea in the gutter idea. How brilliant. You're planting our demonstration was enviable, especially as when I tried this last year, they fell out into a heap. Most didn't survive. Help. I love the idea of starting off the growing in guttering. Less transfer shock for the small plants. But is there a way of getting them out without decimating the whole crop as I did last year? Help. Keep up the brilliant videos. I am learning such a lot from you, for which I'm most grateful. Thank you. Kind regards, Kim xx
If you dead head your poppy the whole plant will last a lot longer - if it sets seed then the mother plant will not last that long. I feel your pain over the broken glass - we too moved to a new home and discovered the over grown garden was full of broken glass and a buried glass house!
Good to see your settling in to your lovely new home . Good Luck!! By the way . Check out the old war medal. Some of them can be worth a small fortune , Who knows??? xx
Nice garden, very lush for May and a sweet little green house. Zone 4 here and most is just going in. Your plastic gutter is too flimsy and sticky, aluminum works much better.
New on this site. Really loved seeing your post today. Have liked and subscribed. I'm also about to order your book. I'm a bit late with my seed sowing this year but you have so inspired me to get out there and just get started!! Thank you 😊
Congratulations on finding your new, old place. You have saved some money in not buying a new shed. I suggest you plan to get a polytunnel. Growing in the ground but under shelter should allow you to grow better summer vegetables for less effort, extend your season of autumn, winter and spring veg, and protect wind susceptible plants. Your new/old greenhouse, can produce so many seedlings in modules, and contain those house plants while sorting the house, and beyond. I look at what I can't buy locally, but would love to have, ripe apricots, ripe melons, okra, fresh aubergine 😋. I bet your mind is racing well ahead of your bodies ability to sort. I hired a big chipper for a week to reduce hedges and shrubs, later a mini digger to remove stumps of dead or unwanted hedges, shrubs and trees. You may need to identify a suitable bonfire place too. Good luck and take care.
Can someone please explain what an allotment is and how it works? Is it like a community garden that is open for people to rent garden beds to grow their crops?
You have your allotment and your home garden what do you do with all the vegetables that you grow? I have a small garden and I grow enough vegetables to sustain me and my wife throughout the winter i also can and make my own pickles salsas tomato sauce and tomato juice. All of which I cook with. I am just wondering what you do.
That is unfortunate that the former owners left all of their garbage for you to have to clean up but it looks like you have done an incredible amount of work already though!!
It is standard, as a couple grow older, what they can do reduces, then one gets terminally sick. The other looks after them, worrying and hankering after the life they had. Time is spent travelling to hospitals, fetching medication, possibly visiting a nursing home. Tanya said the house hadn't been lived in for probably 6 years. A death and pronouncement that 'you can't manage on your own' may mean a sudden withdrawal from the home. He may have not been able to pass his driving test due to infirmity, so trips to the tip were out. At least the owner came back to say good bye, probably very dispiriting. It was a loved house, now Tanya and Josh can love it 'forever' too.
@@gwenscoble6229 Very true. I always think then family should help out but I guess that is not always a reality for everyone. Understandable then if the owners were older and unwell.
@@gwenscoble6229 I agree the former owners loved that place, but age and illness take their toll. I imagine they were delighted to know the new owners will be taking such good care of it.
I would love to find that 9 star broccoli. Next year, I hope to turn our raised bed garden into a perennial garden because we will have additional growing spaces for annual veg.
Jessie At Plot 37. Checkout her channel she acquired 9 Star Broccoli plants in her previous video so might be able to.point you in the right direction.
Where did you get the blue poppies from? I had seeds this year and no germination on them they didn't have many seeds either maybe 10 but I don't recall what I paid for them.
That Himalayan poppy is sooooo beautiful. SubhanAllah!!! God says in His last message I.e Quran, " And the earth! We have spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and have produced therein every kind of lovely growth (plants). An insight and a Reminder for every slave turning to Allah (i.e. the one who believes in Allah and performs deeds of His obedience, and always begs His pardon). And We send down blessed water (rain) from the sky, then We produce therewith gardens and grain (every kind of harvests) that are reaped. And tall date-palms, with ranged clusters; A provision for (Allah's) slaves. And We give life therewith to a dead land. Thus will be the resurrection (of the dead) (Quran 50:7-11)
Cleaning is definitely therapeutic!
Whenever I dig I find old bottles, colored glass, buckets of 200year old nails, horseshoes and pottery bits. Our house is 210+ years old. Fun.
Our house is 56 years old and I still find those kind things everywhere I dig plus an occasional tractor part or animal bone

@@lissyadams6497 Without my allotment, I would have gone stir-crazy, this past year! It has been my one port in the storm!
Very clever to grow peas in the gutters. I like the idea 👍👍
The greenhouse looked new when you had finished with it. You did a brilliant job!
It never fails to amaze me how I also keep turning up bits of glass in my small garden, despite having cleared and cultivated it for quite a few years now.
Me too
Same in my garden... and plastic pieces! 🙄
Ditto. It’s like beading a string with no knot at the end. 😔

WOW!!! Amazing clean up!!!!
Oh man. So true about gardens being behind due to the weather. I said the same thing this morning. Everything seems to be growing much slower than they normally would this time of year.
Same here in the Pacific Northwest, USA! 😭
I can see you still have lots to do, but in the end you'll be so happy at your new house. Keep up the energy, we all here for support. 💐
Oh I've always liked the blue poppy

Happy Gardening!!
Beautiful poppy
Great video! Have a beautiful day my friend!😊👍109
Everything is coming along! Glad you saved the shed! 🌸☀️
Great job Tanya. You have the glass house sparkling. Thanks
Congratulations again on your new chapter/ move ! Alot of work at first but will be worth it all
Your garden so beautiful
I am running about two weeks behind also due to the weather. (Indiana, USA). I have always deep planted my potatoes in buckets without hilling them up and they have always grown for me.
I love old tools we found many on our plot. Including a cow bell which I will paint and use when we are training the chickens once we get them.
Great job Tanya. You have the glass house sparkling.
You did a great job on that green house it looks fantastic!!
Shed is going to be charming
Cold late spring and now over 2 weeks without rain in Pa
It's been a very challenging start to the year for us all, but in different ways. Here we're about three weeks late in the garden
Awesome job working on your new home.
It’s back breaking work but you’re chipping away at it! Blessings !!!
Smart gutter plan I like it a lot

Looks good now 👌
Good to see your settling in to your lovely new home . Good Luck!! By the way . Check out the old war medal. Some of them can be worth a small fortune , Who knows??? xx
On my third copy of A Woman's Garden, keep giving them away!
When I plant potatoes in pots I plant them only 6 inches deep for best results no matter if indeterminate or determinate.
Jardin magnifique!

Love that idea of growing seedlings in a gutter
Would it be easier for you slide them out if you cut the gutter in half?
What happend to your solcellular fontaine. Does it still work?
Thank you for lobelia videos 👩🌾

Hot, dry, windy in central valley california. The sight of green leaves, moisture on the Himalayan poppies was a delight.
I still use my father’s garden fork from the 1950’s. Getting passed on to my daughter who just moved into her first house!

The late spring in the uk is not good at all, last year it was warm enough to wear shorts in late march, it's almost June and no good weather
You could always turn the shed into chicken coop. Fresh eggs are great.
