The Garden in August

- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2020
- The garden in August brings with it bountiful harvests and unexpected challenges. In today's video, I share what's been happening in both the allotment and home garden and we pick homegrown squash, cabbages, carrots, and beans. I also share a couple minor disasters in the allotment garden and what I've done to try to fix them.
🌿 Question for you: Are you feeling gardening fatigue or still going strong? Late summer can bring both excitement and burn-out and it's okay to feel both!

Such lovely gardens! It’s comforting to know that even a professional gardener, like yourself, has set backs with unfortunate issues in the garden. I’m pretty new to gardening and didn’t get much of a harvest and had a lot of infestations and growth stunts in my plants, and have felt so sad, but I’m listening when you say to never give up. I often think about those in times past that relied solely on their home gardens for food to last through winter and I’m sure they grew weary when they didn’t produce a harvest or an unforeseen storm or event took place.
Thanks for reminding that I've wanted to grow mustard greens. I grew them decades ago, in Florida where they're a staple, for the young leaves. They are SO tasty in scrambled eggs. I hope I can find the seed here in Missouri where they're NOT so common.
what a fabulous haul from the garden...we have falcons here in NH...a mama and baby deer were in the back yard yesterday...my son had some great carrots in his raised beds...i roasted some beets from the garden...truly a delicious time of year...🥕
I wonder how ppl are going gardening for the first time expecting good harvests this year!! Glad I have been cultivating my garden from at least 4 years ago!! Had I started now I don't think I would have gotten very far!! :-)!!
What a beautiful productive plot full of life and great choice of produce .i would say most of them favourites
A couple of guy ropes either end of your bean structure could help. I’ve done this and had great success in high winds, much more so than just pegging down.
Your hard work paid off. I know this year not good for my tomatoes, alot of bugs leafminers,spidermites, ants,aphids this year . I hope next year will be better than this year.
Such a lovely note on the end 💚 thanks for the encouragement. This was my first year and with quite a lot of dissapointments, but I still love it. So happy that I love getting my hands dirty and pottering about, not just excited about harvesting 😊 a lot learned this year, but still so much to learn obviously. Thanks for your inspiring content! 🌿 have a great week 🌼
Your backyard spaces has really turned out beautifully. Full of life. 🌱
Love the video and plan to buy your book soon! Can't wait for August weather and harvests. Sounds like a baby buzzard in the video - they're incredibly loud!
It was a baby buzzard and yes, so loud 😆💚
Great video Tanya. We are just entering spring here so lots of inspiration to what I have to look forward to. Cheers -Aussie Keith
Hi Tanya..lovely green is sure very very lovely!!.
Thank you, gracia's.
Love your home and allotment. 💓
To your last Comment, that is why I think Gardeners and Farmers should be given a lot more Respect than they get. The Japanese do a Blessing to the Gardener before Eating by saying "Ita Dakemasu!".
I agree people should respect farmers because without them we would struggle to get food for foods that we can't grow ourselves and not everyone has the space, knowledge, skills and time to grow their own. Without gardener's we wouldn't have beautiful gardens that we can visit such as the RHS gardens, National Trust and National Trust of Scotland gardens and botanical gardens and various parks throughout the UK and many of them are tourist attractions. Horticulture as a business/trade brings in over £7 billion to the UK economy.
Speaking of Birds of Prey - Two Wild Ravens have moved into the Trees surrounding our Community Garden.
Everything looks so beautiful and bountiful! Hope all goes well in the storm!! ❤️🌻❤️
Love your last comment; mix emotions as we are entering autumn. Thank you for reviewing the Generous Garderner rose. I am going to grow one in my garden. It is nice to have yours as a reference. Thanks again for sharing.
I'm do pleased with my Generous Gardener roses! Highly recommended 👌
all looking lovely nice to see you on gardeners world a few weeks ago
Thanks 🙂 It's the reason I've been quiet these past couple of weeks -- I was inundated with orders!
Not surprised you got blight as I had to cut my haulms off a week ago, and on a clear day we can see the IOM. My bean tee-pee blew over 3 times last year, ripping out the beans' roots. When I got climbing rope tying it to my scaffold brassica cage, it remained put but all the leaves got blown off! I have grown dwarf beans outside and climbing beans in the green house this year. The dwarf varieties are a bit limited. I got my first ripe plum from my new plum tree this year and no branches got snapped off. How do I feel, good in parts!
That apple tree is great
I do hope your bean structure survived the latest storms!
Great video and gardening update. Not been doing gardening since Monday 24th August due to it been raining since Tuesday and it's still raining today (Thursday 27th August), it's hopefully not going to be raining between tomorrow and Tuesday so I will be taking advantage of that and getting work done. I wasn't able to do a video yesterday on my channel due to the weather but plan to have one on my channel early next week.
Sorry about your bean trellis. Your videos are always so enjoyable and interesting and I just want to say thank you for making them. I look forward to each new one. The backyard garden is stunning and inspiring. I get hungry every time I see it. Stay safe and blessings.
We have Storm Francis here in North Wales. It has rained overnight and all day. I did manage a couple of hours weeding yesterday, so now up to date. Lots of things ready to harvest, but also some things not to happy, with the weather this year. As you say - there will be another chance next year and things may fair better :)
Absolutely! We've got no power over the weather but we do over our point of view ✌
Outrageously wonderful !
Hmmm, I could see this coming!! Climbing beans and cucurbits have prodigiously large leaves that capture wind up high and prove too much for most structures. Something more on the lines of an A-frame arangement is much stronger than that narrow-base, tall lightweight arch. Hence I guess the time-honoured wooden bean teepees. But still, you have had a wonderful harvest already. Your gardening skills are so envy-making!
lol.. ingardening you always need a third hand. If i could have craweled thru my computer I would have helped you with that bean trellises. Love your videos.
Love your channel, greetings from West Africa
Really good garden
More harvest to come .. ilove these garden it's complete
No garden is ever complete 🙂 it's one of the best things about gardening
I harvested my exhibition onions last week and I am going to plant 'Cavalo Nero' kale there, that I have been growing in modules in the greenhouse - I will need to put up a structure and net the kale from pigeons though. I have had bean wigwams get blown over in the past also under the weight of beans, rain and high winds - it is a common issue at this time of year. I have some leeks, parsnips and brussels sprouts on the plot for the winter also.
I don't know if anyone has commented yet (I just started watching the video)
My thoughts were Baling twine from the end tops left & right both ends & use stakes , as in a CAMPING TENT. CHEERS, from Down-Under.🆗🦘🦘💚🍉🍊🍓🍎🍌🌽🥕🥑🍒🍒
New subscriber! I'm eating up all your knowledge and I am in love with your style of gardening. Thank you for sharing so much with us, please keep the videos coming!
Welcome and thank you 😊
@@Lovelygreens hun...can u pls reply more to the comments..u have a following..tc.mwa🤗😊😍
I really miss the Isle of Man it is so beautiful as are your growing spaces!
Everything really beautiful my type of life...
I want to be good at the work like this!
your garden is lovely...I planted two and a half beds of lettuce on the last week of July this year, today I picked off 1 leaf from each lettuce to see how they are coming along and to make a salad but was disappointed upon finding that they were bitter and so I have to get rid of them...I gave away, eat and sell from my garden...and I was looking forward to selling my lettuce, only to find that I have to pull them up. I worked hard on them but they took long to mature I find...am from the Island of St. Kitts....
The Outer Cabbage Leaves can be made into Preserved Sour Kraut!
your apples look awesome!
Between the red love apples at the allotment and the discovery apples at home, we're set 🍎
I grow beans over rather flimsy arches and have learned to hammer in one of those plastic- covered metal stakes on each side of the arch and fix the arch to them.
Just to say I managed to get a frame from gardening naturally I am really. Pleased with it thanks for the discount code!
You're so welcome!
Your Picture of the Berries reminded me of the Plumes I picked from our Community Garden Plum Tree last Sunday and they Sold Out at the Community Garden Sales!
I'll bet they did! Everyone loves homegrown fruit 🍊🍉🍇🍎🍑
My vote for the bird of prey is a hawk. I’m lucky to have seen owls, eagles and hawks above my plot.
Loving how your climbing rose looks. Mine is still so tiny by comparison, only one rose this first year.
The hawks in NC are smart too. They are opportunistic and patient.
Nice👍
Hi 👋 👋
Enjoyed the video BA94 N Ireland
Hey!!
Are we going to have a video about what are we going to plant in September?
What variety of cabbage was that you harvested please? My bean structure collapsed here in Cornwall, but was not as lucky in that several plants were uprooted and I couldn’t get to the for 48 hours so have stopped growing. 😩 I may try to find you arch structure next time. Great, informative video.
We've had some strong winds here in the UK, snapped a load of my moneymaker tomatoes!
Ugh. Hopefully you've been able to salvage some 🍅🍅🍅
@@Lovelygreens I had to get the twine out but i think they'll be alright. One of them has snapped almost completely and somehow the plant is still hanging on. 👍
I awoke to a tomato frame at 45° not what I needed, but none broke once fixed it.
What a relief 🙂
Love your videos! Do you use the nasturtium flowers? Any recipes you'd share? Cheers :) !
Both leaves and flowers are peppery and I have a great recipe for them in my upcoming book. Most folks use them in salads but you can use them as a 'green' in cooked savoury dishes too
I saw a Hawk dancing around my quail cages the other day. It was kinda funny because he was mad.
Very very beautiful you the champion girl😄😚😚🤗😍
Tanya, are you sure those green pumpkins which may be squashes or whatever, around 18:20, aren't marrows?? They look like them!
Yes I think a marrow good eyesight 👍👍👍
It's likely a pumpkin crossed with a courgette/zucchini. What I call a pumpkini! I picked the seeds up at last years seed swap from someone who saved them from their Tonda pumpkin
How can I get a signed copy of your book? Great item on Gardener's world. Thank you
Where did you get your greenhouse from?
Thanks for the video, Tanya. Were your potatoes ok? I was wondering, what do you use to feed your plants? I have a couple of tomato plants and, whilst they have grown handsomely, they haven't given me any fruit. They are flowering right at the top, but noting apart from that to write home about really! I think maybe I needed to pinch them at the top and stop the stalk off shooting. Could it just be down to this? Thanks.
I dug some of the potatoes when I took the foliage off and most were okay. We're still working our way through them now. Fingers crossed for the rest 🤞
Hi there my name is Kelly I just want to say hi and I had a great day at school I'll see you later😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thanks jjj
You could pound some rebar into the ground and then tie the arches to the rebar??
I could but wouldn't have a clue where to get rebar on our Island. I've shored the structure up with some metal hoops and am hoping for the best. Will check later.
Lovely Greens rebar is available from most diy/ garden centres or iron mongers. Haven’t visited your island for 50+ years so have no idea what you have there now.
Sorry got it wrong 🤣
Yaaaah! I am Viewer #1!
I also got to put the First Like on it! :)
Would you consider doing cooking videos?
how do you control slugs? I saw you had planters on cement. I can't do that, I need to place it high up on a table and I'm experimenting to deter slugs from climbing up the legs by surround the bottom of the legs with steel wool. Let's see how that goes. But I'm interested in how you control them? I'm new to your channel.
@@trevorwills3356 thanks for the confirmation of using pellets. I was hoping for the wool to work so I don't have to keep buying pellets especially after it rains.
I mainly try to discourage them by not giving them places to hide/live and when I find slugs they go into a plastic container I've filled with a little salt. I've tried many things over the years, including wool pellets, but most seem futile if you don't nip the cause of slugs in the bud.
Unfortunately, the raised beds seem to provide shelter for slugs so I'm going to have to think about solutions for that. Beer traps work great! As long as it's not raining
@@Lovelygreens Yeh, beer is another way to get rid of them, but I get nauseous just looking at them in any liquid. Ugh! Oh, and don't touch them or their slim. In Hawaii, we had cases of people getting sick, and lucky for them they just get sick. Rat Lungworm disease can cripple or kill. I'm surprise how many gardeners don't know about this. Stay safe.
I use crushed mussels or egg shells as top dressing. Slugs don't like to go over such rough terrain. XD. I honestly use slug bait at the height of slug season. We had so much rain in spring that they were everywhere but lately not much.
Note: Bind Weed is also known as Morning Glory which is a Very Annoying Invasive Weed.
Morning Glory is a tender climber with blue flowers. Same family but not the same plant.
Hi there want your help ☺ 😊 🙂
Woow...u look great..you l o st weight good onya 🤗🤗😊
Finally a hot girl doing gardening videos, tired of the rickety old men. 🔥
