  • The lazy days of summer are here and with it come crops of berries, potatoes, greens, and more. Today we're going to dig up some of those potatoes, and will be having a look at both the home and allotment gardens to see how everything is growing. It's hard to believe that the beds exploding with green and food were just bare earth and compost a few months ago. If you thought May was lush, June will wow you with her bounty.

    We moved late in the year. This is my 45th house and it will be my last one! I love it here, a wee house within a stone's throw from the ocean. And...deer. And rabbits. And covid...so I have a garden on my back deck. Tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, tonnes of herbs. Peas, spinach, and a lowly cuke. Well...next year I'll have a fenced in plot perhaps. In the meantime it is lovely to wander around yours.

    I've also just started digging my new potatoes, Lady Christl. I realise this is all down to personal choice, but they're so much nicer than Homeguard. They have a lovely, old fashioned flavour. Beautiful with a splodge of butter and mint. In the space they were growing I'm planting yacons and pumpkins. No spare ground. Don't give the weeds a chance. Thanks for your films. Cracking!

    Your new potatoes are a good size - you have inspired me to dig up the first of my 'Nicola' second earlies, to see how big they are. A quick tip - I always put a small heap of yellow sulphur powder around the bottom of my cucumber plants (and melons) to keep the water off, so as to avoid stem rot where the plant goes into the soil/compost and also I sink a 3 inch pot next to cucumber plant ans water into that to keep the stem dry. A 'Lovely' video as always!

    Hi Tanya! Your gardens are looking beautiful! I really enjoyed getting a tour of both the allotment and the home garden. I'd definitely like to see a harvest video next time. I'm in Texas, in the Houston area, and for us things like green beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes are done for now - it's gotten too hot for them. Right now I have okra and sweet potatoes growing. Both of those thrive in our extreme heat. My eggplants and peppers are doing well and being harvested now, and I'm picking blackberries for my breakfast every morning, too. I'm also starting to be overloaded with basil ready for picking! Time to start making pesto. June has been a very dry month so I'm constantly watering - not fun. We're supposed to get some good rain this week though, so I'm grateful for that. :)

I make a list now the night before and I keep it in front of my face while I do gardening chores. I focus on one or two things I WANT done and then move on to things that must be done. This isn’t working either. Last night I ran out of energy and sunlight and I still hadn’t watered the garden.🤷🏽‍♀️ I had to water this morning before having my coffee.😴

    It's been a wet year here in Sequim, WA. Many of my baby apples, quince and currents are fruiting for the first time. The strawberries and raspberries are bursting with fruit, but most are still green. I've had a bumper crop of thistles - who knew the entire plant is edible‽

      No, Sequim gets about 14 inches of rain annually. It's in the Blue Hole (a dry spot created in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains)
      Thistle stalks taste like artichoke; they are the only part I have tried so far. :)

    Sometimes weeding feels nasty, one step shy of changing a baby's diaper. One the other hand, if other, it is something I do to care for my babies, even if my babies are plants in the garden. Taking care of what needs care is a joy, a quieter, less sexy joy, but a deeper joy than the fancier joys that get too much attention.

    very nice garden tour
    Lots growing there
    I did a tour of my vegetable garden in the beginning of June as almost everything was in place but just after a couple of weeks It's filled up so much already. Kids are enjoying loads of strawberries and I am munching on as much lettuce as I can.
    You have inspired me to grow more berries so I have got a blueberry, raspberry, blackberry and loganberry planted. I am growing loads of zinnias, marigolds and nasturtiums too in my vegetable garden.
    I think you can relocate that nasturtium plant to a suitable place where it can climb onto something.
    I also grew some grocery store bought garlic and the tag said it was Morado spanish garlic. I did a research online and it turned out hard neck garlic. It produced scapes last week which I have already harvested. It looks very much like yours with lots of small green young leaves coming out. So I was a bit worried whether the cloves had sprouted again but looking at yours I think it is doing alright. I will be harvesting it soon.

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  4 года назад

Winters coming.... doesn't go over well😁....yes if it's not I n the ground and growing well know.... it's almost to late....those peas look like monsters....I love the tall peas they look so "stately"....but they do look bad after a wind storm....and they take so much work....

      When seeds became scarce here, I started seriously thinking about the possibility of saving seeds. I've let one of last year's beetroot bolt (the one in the garlic bed) and will try to collect seed from it. Kale, I'll try too and a couple of other things.

Been awesome, plus I am ready to harvest one bed of early Warba Potatoes, garlic scapes have been adorning our dinner plates for a couple weeks now.
    We are now jnto our Southern Ontario summer, lots of heat, lots of humidity and not much rain! So very heavy mulch on all the beds (grass clipings, hay, leaves, efc.,) and fairly regular deep watering!

      It's not too far but it's still a drive so less convenient than gardening at home. Fabulous sounding harvests and you're smart to use mulch. I wish more people would just try it since it saves so much water, keeps weeds down, fertilizes, stops erosion,...

    Hi!
    Thank you for this lovely video!
    I live in the northern part of The Netherlands on a lovely old farm, remote, and I have a kitchen garden of about 300m2. By accident, I was sharing it with a good friend, but she passed away 2 years ago.
    Now, I grow a LOT of food, just like you. Way more than we can eat, but I grow them for the local foodbank here.
    My question would be, what do you do with all the food that you can not eat?
    Also, what do your meals look like? I would be very interested in that! Sometimes the garden work takes up so much time that my lust to cook a meal is down, which is a shame!
    By the way, I also make my own soaps and creams etc., for years now. 😊
    Thank you!

      We have a few things in common it seems :) Food -- we eat whatever is growing and extras go in the freezer or sometimes to Josh's parents. Yes, cooking down can be such a shame and spinach is the worst one for that. But at the same time, it shows how many greens we're getting.

      Lovely Greens Sorry for my crappy English, thank you for your answer!
      What I meant was, how exactly do you eat all these lovely vegetables, how much time do you spend on cooking, things like that? 😄

    I just dug up early potatoes (grown in a container/grow bag) and I had only a small handful- so disappointing! Any tips for growing earlies would be most welcome; I'll try again next year.

      Are you sure they were a first early variety? Main crops potatoes will be tiny this time of the year.

    Hi Tanya. I have a question about roses for you. Springtime I bought 3 roses in tubes. Unfortunately I was not able to plant them out until a 3 weeks ago. I was watering them while in the tubes I did not realize when I went to plant them they were waterlogged and the few live branches have since died since I planted them out. My question is there is no signs of life are they dead? Or will the roots recover or are they recovering? I'm torn as to whether or not to wait until next year to see. Can you help answer thank you.

      @wingingitsemiretiredlife2981 4 года назад

      I know I should have planted them sooner. I'm really hoping fingers crossed that the roots are recovering!? Is this possible or did I kill them? There are no signs of life above ground.

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  4 года назад

      If you don’t see life from them now in the growing season they probably haven’t made it. Prune back anything that looks dead and see if it’s green inside? If so, there may be hope

      You can often tell by the potatoes it produces. Typically the potato will be one you've planted before, but if it's a new plot it may just be one of those mysteries :)

    YES! Harvest video - especially how you use the small daily pickings! I have few green beans but manage to pick enough for a tender green bean bowl to share with my grandson every 4 days. Some 'stinkin' critter ate my strawberry plants - almost twentys whole plant above the roots in one night - what horror would do that? It ate everything but the very top level of two hanging fabric bags that I never got around to hanging. They are now hung and hopefully the leaves will return. Put up some dill pickles and some bread/butter pickles and have eaten so many - now worms are eating the ripest ones. I've never had worms in the cukes before and not sure why they are there now. I can't even just cut off the eaten ends since they are tiny when they bore a hole and grown fat by eating the middle of the cukes - that way I don't notice the destruction while waiting for the full grown veg. Gardens sure do teach patience or at least try to. LOL Do you know reasons why I can't grow chamomile? Can't seem to germinate their seeds either. What is your trick? Maybe direct sow?

    • @Lovelygreens
      @Lovelygreens  4 года назад

      Yes, gardening is always a lesson in patience :) Once you get chamomile going it will freely self seed - you could scatter seed outdoors probably all summer long and it will grow. Try again?
