This is my first foray into the RUclips universe of gardening and allotment videos. Welcome to my channel. (Apologies for the camera work, I'm new, hopefully I'll learn)
Hello Jason, nice to meet you. I don't have an allotment now but a big garden in Wales where we grow lots of fruit and veg outside and in greenhouses and two polytunnels. Looking forward to following your channel....best wishes for a successful future here.
New sub and you had me with the shot of all the lillies 🥰 my favourite well one 😂 of my favourite flowers. Looking forward to seeing more of your journey, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦
Nice Mullberry, trying to train one over my chicken pen so they drop for free food for them. I regularly get native poisonous plants here trying to invade, don't think I'd grow them on purpose lol. Bittersweet has invaded my hedges (Solanum dulcamara), Belladonna is a regular self seeder, Hemlock is a regular if I don't mow the verg at my gate along with giant foxgloves, and giant hogweed (you definately don't want that one!
Yep, there's definitely a few I don't want to contend with. I ended up with burns strimming parsnips one year, Hogweed gives a worse reaction, not on my wish list.
Hello Jason, a great tour of your plot and I’m really interested in following your channel and seeing what your growing 😊 good luck with your RUclips journey 😊🌱👍
Hi Jason. Newbies here to the RUclips community too, so welcome aboard! Looking forward to watching your videos. It's hard at first to film and might be weird, I'm still getting used to it as well 😂 your plot looks amazing 👏🏽 Rach & Eric
Thank you for sharing this. Your plot looks great. I appreciate all the hard work you have put in over the years. How many hours a week does it take to manage please? Best wishes from Plymouth Devon
Hi Nathan, a plot will take as many hours you can throw at it, the trick is to get it to a manageable level and hopefully you won't lose it to the weeds when you don't go down a couple of days. In the summer I go down almost daily because it's a nice place to be, you will always find something to do down there. 😁
Hi, both are in the same Genus, the chinese gooseberry you buy in the shops are a form of husk tomato, ground cherry, but just a different species. As an example I have 3 species of tomatillo growing in the pots, all with different tastes, all however coming from genus: Physalis. All of these are also incidently plants from the family Solanaceae, a family that also includes some of the deadly nightshade species.
Brilliant first vlog! I’ve just started a plot, so looking forward to loads of inspo! It’s a Mulberry, I think 😀👍 Have you tried growing the Walking Onions? I’m keen to give them a go but don’t know anyone that has!
Correct on the mulberry. We had a guy who used to give walking onions to people as a present when they first came on the plot. His were from a guy who gave him some over 20 years ago.
@Allotment-of-the-Dead I started 8 years ago and haven't regretted it, we learn more from the comments than anything else. ♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Probably not the way others would, I'm pretty unconventional.

Physalis are Chinese gooseberries and different to tomatillos

Mulberry tree 😊
Correct
Could keep the Jerusalem artichokes in the poison garden as a little joke - silent but deadly . . .
LOL, hadn't thought of it like that, but you have a point! :)
Well done mate think you did brilliant I am waiting to start my own video ☠️☠️🥦🥬🥒
Best of luck, been thinking about it for a while, sometimes you have to jump in with both feet and just make it happen.
