I'm too decrepit to garden much these days. However, I can still remember how exciting it was pulling up root crops! Thanks for sharing your excitement with us. It's such a buzz isn't it!
i'm turning my garden into an allotment. your knowledge is great because you are humble enough to share the down side with the upside. and i will also have flowers in my veggie patches. lucky to have been able to garden in lockdown. now have other projects on the go. look forward to your other videos. thank you so much.
It fills my heart with joy every time I see my gate sign. It was a commission, I had it hand painted by a very talented lady who lives in Oklahoma. She has her own Instagram and website if anybody wants to check out her beautiful garden and artwork! omasgardens.com
What a lovely harvest and tour, Katrina. I like your relaxed gardening style plus all the hints and cooking tips you give. Always a joy to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing. Take care. Jan x
November has definitely been mild. I still have tomatoes ripening on the vines on my balcony in London. Thank you for the tour! Beautiful garden and your struggle with that parsnip was quite funny 🙂
“Secret Gardenesque” indeed, it is just Beautiful!! Enjoy your harvest, stew, soup or roasted veggies yum. Thank you for sharing your garden, much appreciated!😉💗
I enjoy your videos tremendously. We have had a few snowfalls here in Minnesota so gardening ended in early October for us. Your videos allow me the joy of gardening vicariously into our winter. Thank you so much! Stay safe and well.
Thank you for the nice video. I enjoy your garden I think as much as you must. Especially at this time of year I get all the visual delights of being in the garden but from the warmth of my house. It was 28 degreesF this morning here.
I just adore your videos It's such a nice retreat for me everytine, looking around your plot. Just lovely! Thank you. 💕☕🌱 I'm in the USA, just lost my flowers to a frost yesterday. What I nice surprise to still see so many blooms! 🌸
Thanks for joining me on the allotment tour. We had a hard frost that night and I’ve since lost the dahlias and the nasturtiums but the winter hellebores are just beginning to bloom! 👏🏻
@@homegrowngarden Aww, Well, atleast they know it's time to go to sleep finally. 💤 How splendid the timing to capture them just prior! Look forward to next time. 💕
I find your allotment video diaries so relaxing and layed back. So exciting to see your autumn 🍂 harvest. I love your wild garden with all its bird feeders. I recently acquired an allotment. And like yourself to hear the sound of birds is just beautiful! Also I have a brook running at the end of my allotment. I just know I am going to have some exciting times... Thankyou 👏🕊🧚♀️🦋
Hello from Ontario Canada Thankyou for the tour always look forward to watching them. Wow the peppers were such a lovely arrangement of colour! Blessings to you and yours 🐝
that parsnip looked like a mandrake haha! nice harvest :). you should try making borsch with some of those beet root (if you havent before)! its one of my favorite winter foods
Hello from London.This is the first video of yours I have seen.But I will definitely be watching more.I never knew that gooseberries had such nice flowers.
I have a love/hate relationship with the ivy in my garden. It does look whimsical, especially in winter. Can't wait to see what your allotment looks like with a view of the city, should be so exciting!
Have actually left beet roots in as an experiment......in a raised bed.....covered with hay and card board...not for the beets but for the earliest greens possible.....and honestly I was suprised....it worked...i uncovered them the first of April ...snow and freezing after that date is minimal....i had fresh beet greens by the 20th !!!! 😊 I love seeing how I can lengthen the season....at the end and the beginning🤗
Still have 6 lettuces that are now about 16” tall, and my last 2 tomatoes are now finally ripe. But my new brocolli and Savoy cabbage and kale are Doing really well. We had snow 2 nights in a row!! I’m in Edinburgh
Well what a great tour Kat, you really have done well with your parsnip and to tease with slow cooked stews and leek and potato soup mmm yummy I must try to make my own ! ..thanks for the tour my friend hope your safe and well with this covid about ,look forward to your nxt upload 😀
I’ve just taken on an allotment! So nervous but your videos make me so excited for our journey. Would love a video about your journey from where you started through to now.
Congratulations! Oh that’s just so exciting 👏🏻 This time of the year is a great time to take one on because you can see the plot looking stripped back and see how much space you really have. It’s a good time to get any brambles out, improve your soil with a mulch of organic matter (compost, rotted horse/cow manure) and plan for next year. I have plans to create a video of my journey from the beginning to now. I only started this channel in the last few years (I’ve had mine for 6). It’s tough in the beginning but it’s so worth it. Stick at it, join the allotment community on Instagram if you haven’t already. Photograph your progress and don’t try to achieve too much at once. Little and often and you’ll soon be there! 🙌🏻 Best of luck to you and your new allotment 💚
@@homegrowngarden Thanks for your encouraging words! We have inherited some weird things and some good things. We are going to take some time to properly map it out this week and then get on with your excellent advice. We want to make a brassica cage and a fruit cage, so hopefully we will have some dry days ahead.
I just love your videos. They give me such great tips and info on what to do and plants to try out, even though I live in a different area. Keep up the great work. I'm so jealous of your flowers this year. My flower garden didn't do nearly as well. We had way too much rain in spring and the beginning of summer, and it was too mild for much longer than we're used to in the southeast us. A lot of our zinnias and Dahlias rotted or caught fungi from all the rain. Our veg garden did very well though.
My plot neighbor had alium leaf miner in his onions. The stems all started curling in July. He applied a type of nematode and a few weeks later they were coming back to health, and he got a decent harvest. I do know that the nematodes are expensive though! Love your videos 👍
You think growing plants would be easy living in Hawaii. People think because we don't have a drastic change in seasons we can grow anything all year round. Hah! The plants can tell the difference in seasons. They die on me or just stay green taking up space. When the right season comes along, then they blossom. We had a hot summer this year, (drought restrictions), and a lot of my plants got sunburned. Ouch, I know how that feels. Your garden surprises me as to how many plants can withstand the cold. Our problem here is either too hot or too rainy, which is our winter. Love the tour of your garden.
I love your videos. And I love your Face , it’s look like a Disney Princess. 😍😁 And your Garden is wonderful, so cute with little Details. 🥰 Greeting from Germany 🌻
I took cuttings of my physalis and I am keeping in at home in the living room. It will be planted outside next spring, that will give it a head start. Cosmos are still going; I grow Double Dutch White , you would love them , so frilly! For the carrot fly , I grow pineapple sage which is lemon scented , it repels the fly. And you can make tea with the leaves , to de- stress . Have a nice week.
Looks like the makings of some delicious meals 😊 still have some beet root in my hoophouse......will have to pull them soon.... steady freezing temps will be here soon.
Always enjoy seeing your allotment. Looking forward to seeing what you have going on for Christmas. Could you propagate that berry over winter so you have more to plant come spring.?
Olá linda . 😊 adoro seus vídeos. São intrutivos. Úteis e MT divertidos. Aprendi muito com vc. Sou do BRASIL. Vc é linda. Suas plantas são lindas. Deus abençoe vc. 🌷🍃🌳🌹🌿🌼🍃😀
Parsnips what a dilemma to roast them mash them or just love them! I planted 3 packs but the slugs loved them even more, I am going to try and plant them in cardboard boxes next year to bring them on and put them onto the beds and let them grow through the boxes and see what happens! Got to be better than feeding the slugs, it's not quite transplanting so just have to see how it goes!
Have you ever tried growing kohlrabi? That might be one for you to try. Loved the video the root crops are like buried treasures. I love the way your plot changes throughout the seasons.
The gooseberry: the fruit doesn't even need to ripen completely for the seeds to be viable. You just squish the fruit to open it, stick it in the ground and before you know it they have taken over.
Lovely tour as always 🥰 your leeks look three times bigger than mine, and mine don't have rust or any pests 😂 Omg I looooove the idea of leaving the corn stalks in the ground for insects! Ooo what do you think of the Aji Fantasy? I'm planning on trying it for the first time next year!
Always look forward to your tours . Inspirational, calm and peaceful. Will be planting some up some spuds in containers next weekend - I hope they do as well as yours. It’s great to see your wintery, cold Nottnum weather when we’re cooking over here in our first heat wave of the Australian summer. Made me smile when you said they’ve turned your taps off - guessing to stop the pipes freezing. Parsnip crisps are my absolute favourites - have you tried them ?
Loved every second of the video xx very inspiring, also I’m so gutted I wanted to plant my allium globmaster and fritillaria imperials at the front, did all day digging and when i was about to plant, I noticed they couldn’t go there cos at 30cm deep it’s rock bed under that place where I wanted them 😔 so I need to rethink where else I can plant them at the front of my house
Thank you so much for watching! I’m so sorry to hear about tour bulb planting fiasco, that must be so frustrating. I hope it makes the bloom even more worth it in the end. What do you have planned now, containers?
@@homegrowngarden thanks for replying xx so I’ve got an idea 💡 I’ll put wooden or plastic edging small wall, front and back, like a raised bed, then add more compost on top and plant my bulbs, so they’ll get more depth, 🤞 hope it works xx your videos are so relaxing and inspiring xx I’ve only started gardening this summer, and I’m absolutely loving it
Thank you so much Lisa! 💚 I bought my seeds from an independent seller who has since ceased the business 😔 I plan on buying my seeds for next year from these guys - www.southdevonchillifarm.co.uk

They need quite a long growing season and would prefer a greenhouse environment. I recommend sowing them early because they take a long time (in my experience) to germinate and grow! Best of luck. It’s so worth it 🤞🏻😋
Heya, thanks for watching. I follow no-dig gardening principles (popularised by Charles Dowding) so I try to minimise disturbance as much as possible to maintain soil health, structure, prevent weeds and most importantly to keep all the microbial activity and soil life happy. A healthy, happy soil is everything! As you can see in the video it’s quite tricky with large root veg such as parsnips but rather than digging over the soil, I slid the spade down the sides of the parsnip to loosen the soil as much as possible without turning it over and creating lots of disturbance.
Hello nice lady, you look lovely with this lovely smile of yours and you look lovely even without this lovely smile of yours. See you look lovely anyway, greetings.
I disagree with not pulling the leeks fully, cutting them off at soil level is wasting so much of the leek it’s pointless growing them. Charles Dowding gives some good advice, but I wouldn’t waste good food to follow his advice.
Each to their own! I don’t find that I lose any of the leeks doing it this way. In fact I still have some of the roots in the base of the leeks I harvested. We all do things in our own ways, I’m only showing how I do it ☺️

You have created two beautiful places, this garden and this channel! What a lovely thing to do! Keep up the good work! 🤗🦎🌻🍀🦉😊🦋🍁🌳🦕💐🤗
Chop and drop has been one of my best discoveries in the last few years. So much less work. I love seeing the color in flowers so late I the season.

Great Sunday morning entertainment,enjoy cooking lots of comfort food 🍀👍
Great November tour ... I always love it when you open the gate to your garden with the lovely painted sign ❤️

Care for the birds and they’ll take care of the pests!
That's a tip. But I had a big bird Hadada Ibis as a pest in my farm. It chewed my young bean plants. I shared a video on the same just a few days ago

I did try it one year but I was too late sowing it so it didn’t grow! Maybe next time. Thanks for watching 💗
How can we send you gifts? I think some people would like to send you some garden tools to use in your mini garden, like Fiskars brand or Orbit timer.
Nice garden tour video
Thank you 🙏
pulled all my leeks out a couple of weeks ago for exactly the same reasons as you!
Oh no 😞 I hope you managed to salvage something!
@@homegrowngarden some, but not as much as i would have liked.
Great tour and produce, Thank You. What the secret for growing beetroot in pots?🌾
Sow direct, not too deep, thin the seedlings so they have enough space abs keep the pot well watered!
The gooseberry: the fruit doesn't even need to ripen completely for the seeds to be viable. You just squish the fruit to open it, stick it in the ground and before you know it they have taken over.
Harvested my kiwifruit today got about 2pound pickle time first time it's fruited

It’s great to see your wintery, cold Nottnum weather when we’re cooking over here in our first heat wave of the Australian summer. Made me smile when you said they’ve turned your taps off - guessing to stop the pipes freezing.
Parsnip crisps are my absolute favourites - have you tried them ?
Thanks for joining me Michael! Best of luck with your container grown spuds 🥔
I love parsnip crisps! Maybe I should try making those too 😃
Katrina you should leave your carrots in the ground and cover them.They will get sweeter.

Thank you so much Lisa! 💚 I bought my seeds from an independent seller who has since ceased the business 😔 I plan on buying my seeds for next year from these guys - www.southdevonchillifarm.co.uk
Fatali.net is one of the best chili sellers if you're after specialist stuff! Can be quite pricy though. I like paying the extra top be sure the seeds are isolated because it's very easy for them to be cross pollinated and you end up growing a mystery pepper for months!

Wow I had no idea you could grow physalis in the UK, I might have to give that a try next year
They need quite a long growing season and would prefer a greenhouse environment. I recommend sowing them early because they take a long time (in my experience) to germinate and grow! Best of luck. It’s so worth it 🤞🏻😋
They even grow in Norway, I kept my plant partly outdoors and partly in a greenhouse. The fruit taste so good. 😀
What do you do to maintain your area
Lovely and refreshing garden tour! BTW, Why were you worried about disturbing the soil while pulling the parsnip?
Heya, thanks for watching. I follow no-dig gardening principles (popularised by Charles Dowding) so I try to minimise disturbance as much as possible to maintain soil health, structure, prevent weeds and most importantly to keep all the microbial activity and soil life happy. A healthy, happy soil is everything!

Hi Catrina where do get all your chilli seeds from have never heard of some of them
They were from an independent who has since ceased trading 😔 Im looking at buying next years from South Devon Chilli Farm.
What temperature zone do you live?
Mr Parnsip made me laugh.... so immature :')
I thought the same! Then remembered I have a family audience 🙊
You didn’t like vegetables until you grew them...interesting. I’m off to plant lavender seeds in my indoor seed starting station.
I hated them as a child. I grew to like more veg as I got older but I didn’t truly love them or eat such a wide range until I grew my own ☺️
@@homegrowngarden Probably because when you grow your own you have control if you grow your vegetables organically and can pick the varieties.
Did you take any photos to put in your cabin?
Of my flowers? Yes I have many photos to remind me of the more colourful months 😁
Have you tried Nasturtium blossom tea👉🏼Yum🇨🇦
I haven’t tried them in a tea!
🙂👍
Maybe it will just come here..... we supposed to u t just a couple inches tomorrow😟
