Madness started with a tomato! Me too... Jasmine come home from preschool with this tiny tomato 🍅 she endeded up killing it coz she kept hugging it lol😅
Hi Clare I don’t often comment on posts but I just wanted to say please don’t stress about uploading your content. I know how frustrating a slow internet speed can be!!!and it’s no fun. Being a farmers wife and owner of a newish second hand greenhouse I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos, they are a joy and inspiration. Your garden pets and stock and farm look amazing. I really enjoyed the girls going out to pasture. You are working so hard you mustn’t put too much pressure on yourself to hit those deadlines. It’ll be right 😄. Oh and by the way my hubbys legs never see the light of day until it’s scorching ☀️
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I felt quite emotional reading this and felt an immediate connection, especially with being understood for our live style. We tread a privileged path but not without lots of sacrifices.. socially and bandwidth wise. 😂🙌🏼 I think I’ve seen Duncan in trousers twice in the last year. He’s moaned enough about being cold, especially in the farmhouse, but won’t layer up 😂🙈 What have you got growing in your greenhouse this summer? Congratulations on acquiring a new-to-you one. I love ours. Duncan loves them even more so, seeing as they’re free on marketplace 🙌🏼 Deadlines are very much on the back burner now. What will be will be.. hopefully showing the internet less fear will mean it won’t be so testy with me. Seemed to work with the forecast for silaging 😅😅
@@TheFarmyardGardenHi Clare. I’ve had small plastic greenhouses in the past, the last one blew away! We’re on a hill. My current one was second hand, and 20 ft long, that we had to dismantle and reassemble in true farmer style with all hands on deck and cattle trailers for transport 😀. It’s my second growing year and I’m learning. I currently have tomatoes cucumbers and peppers growing. I have a couple of beds made with sleepers with beans etc but I have to say everything seems to be desperate for a little warmth. As you say this life we lead teaches us patience if nothing else 😂. Good look with the sileage we’re a bit off up here. Barbara
Thank you.. we certainly all do eat and thankfully I’m not a slurpy chewer 😂 I felt really uplifted during filming too, so I’m glad that came across when viewing. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️❤️
What a difference 12 months makes. Polytunnel is looking fab! I don't think you should stress at a video deadline. Less worrying & more enjoying. Genius tip from ali that!!! 😊🌱 happy growing clare.
Less worrying and more enjoying sounds a great mantra to go by! 🙌🏼 It’s crazy to think how things change in 12 months. I just wanted a couple of beds on the lawn… 😅😅 Ali’s tip is proper genius isn’t it? She’s so wise. Thanks for watching.. happy gardening 😊
Hi Clare, your tomato beds look lovely with the marigolds. Everything is bursting into life. Please give us more clips of Miss P and your gorgeous animals, a lovely addition to the videos. Don’t fret about the schedule, the upload speeds, any of that. Just enjoy making the videos that we enjoy. I was feeling a bit stressed about getting a video out at the same time every week because work and life was a bit hectic. Almost stopped bothering. Then had a word with myself. My little videos are just a video diary really. For me to look back and see how it’s gone and share with my kids who are away. Took the stress right out of it. If others are happy to follow along and cheer me on then I love that too and am grateful for the lovely little community we are all building. Be kind to yourself Clare 😊
Summed it up perfectly there, Clare. I don’t get good views on videos, but the community here is worth so much more than the views. Channel growth is lovely to see too, but it’s not the most important aspect .. can take the shine off a bit. It’s been such a frustrating time, as it’s the internet is so unreliable here. Pretty stress free upload yesterday though. Was the speediest it’s ever been. You have such a lovely way on camera. I am loving the marigolds and so grateful they’re holding their own against the pests 🙏🏻
Thank you Kerry. It’s been a fabulous week and those harvests have certainly stoked the fire of desire for growing more crops. I cannot wait to see the strawflowers bloom. Utterly ridiculously excited about them. Ones I planted out earlier (to see if that helped with the fact the greenhouse ones were stalling at the time) have hardly moved. So weird!
Great video 😊 thanks for your plot tour. It looks fantastic 👍 Thank you for sharing your trip to North Yorkshire, so , so beautiful ❤ You have a lovely family. Looking forward to your next video 😊
Great video Clare, lovely to see your polytunnel, the plants are doing really well. Your broad beans look great too, glad you like them and the cape gooseberries. Take care
Morning! Thank you so much for making these videos, we too are first year allotment gardeners. My excitement grows as the season progresses and we have decided to invest in a poly tunnel for winter.
Hello, lovely to hear from you. it’s a crazy journey isn’t it, this vegetable growing malarkey. Serious advice - buy the biggest you can afford. You won’t regret it! I wish my polytunnel was bigger now. I love it, you won’t regret adding one. 😍😍 Let’s hope we all have a lovely first full season growing 🙏🏻
New subscriber here. I’m so glad you didn’t give up, as I’m really enjoying catching up on previous videos and looking forward to the next. Your garden and allotment are an inspiration.
Thank you so much Jane, lovely comments, and welcome to the little community building in this comment section. Always lovely when new viewers take the time to leave a comment. Means so much to me❤️❤️
B-road beans are also pickable when the size of your little finger…delish when made into a “stew” with garlic, onions and tomatoes…using them whole….see Ottolenghi…
Thank you. I know Laura eats them whole like that too. I need to pick some tiny ones next. It’s just so exciting. I’ll think I’ll grow more when I sow next year’s crop. They’re an early surprise hit ❤️
4.9 degrees in the poly omg!!! 😭 Sorry to hear you have been feeling stressed with the internet 😔 no matter what date or time your upload we will tune in to catch up on you garden progress ❤ Tomatoes look so strong, I am patiently awaiting the taste test 🤞🙈 I really hope there is one that you end up liking!! It's silage season here too, I am often stuck behind a tractor on the way to my parents 🚜 😅
Hey Laura 👋🏼 4.9° is just mad isn’t it? I nearly fell over when I saw it. Combine that with then going to 38° in the day, it’s a wonder plants are confused. I have been treated to an iPad this week, to help with the whole editing malarkey. Let’s see if it makes a difference when I film next. I really, really hope I like one! I’m still excited to grow them, even if I don’t. The fruit are like pretty flowers for me, so I’m truly super excited for them. If I enjoy some varieties too, massive bonus. Those pesky farmers .. I got stuck behind one the other day. He was wearing shorts….. 😛😛
Oooo!!! I LOVE THIS TIP! Thank you. I’ll be checking this out when I head back out soon. I love this community of clever souls to help me with growing tips. Just brilliant 🙌🏼😍
Excellent video Clare, i am playing catch up with everyones videos at the moment. Throoughly enjoyed this one, what an absolutely massive difference in a year ( with the help of Sir Duncan of the shorts onbviously 😉.The poly tunnel and greenhouse has made things so much easier and better for you. Loving the marigolds with the outside tomatoes. You should be so proud of what you have achieved and how far you have came in such a short time. Awesome
Thanks Jimmy. It’s been a whirlwind 12 months. It’s hard to believe the plot itself wasn’t even started until the August bank holiday weekend. Madness. I am so emotionally invested in the little strip of paradise.. like I’m sure we all are for our growing spaces. It’s the hobby my younger self never knew I needed. Thanks from watching. RUclips catch up is a thing. I’ve been doing the same over the last two days ☺️☺️ x
I'd find it a bit strange if people were hesitant to taste what they've grown, so keep on snacking! I like to see people's faces when they taste something. Also very chilly here, got a wool cardigan on. We even had a brief hail storm the other day. Penetrated the leaves on my outside cucumbers and patty pan. They look strong and healthy otherwise, so I hope they push through this next week of still cold weather. And again, your growing area looks amazing and it's nice to see the animals. 16 years is very good for a dog.
Hello again.. we really struggling with the weather aren’t we? It’s freezing here today. It’s quite windy, which is more worrisome when the trees are laden with leaves. I figured I’d offset having to potentially admit I still don’t like tomatoes, as the season progresses, by showing you I do eat things I’m growing too! 😅😂 I had broad beans once, as a child, from a tin. Hated them and convinced myself I didn’t like them so never tried them since. Broad beans on toast was a revelation 😱 Thanks for watching. Here’s to better weather coming our way. Hope your cucumbers and Patty pans will be ok 🙏🏻
It’s been such a whirlwind. We broke ground on the new plot in September last year. Unreal to think this concept of this plot is only 9 months old too. Amazing what we can do isn’t it? Loving it all. Same with your new home vegetable garden too. It’s like it’s always been there. ❤️
Your allotment is looking amazing Clare especially your polytunnel. I'm just about to use our halos around our tomatoes. Doug ordered them but I'd never heard of them so we'll see how they go. Must be so lovely living in the countryside. Have a great weekend ❤
Hey Linda.. thanks to Ali we all have a genius way of using the halls now. She’s so clever! There’s a few cons to living in the countryside, phone signal coverage and internet connection being the worse but I can’t imagine not living here now. I’m a townie by birth. It was very alien to me 23 years ago when I met Duncan… but somehow instantly felt like I’d finally found “home”. Felt like I was meant to be here. Have a fabulous weekend xx
What a 12 months we’ve both had too, Christine. It’s flashed by in a whirlwind. Some months I’ve felt I’ve made no progress at all, but anniversaries like this are pretty good reminders. This plot itself is only 9 months old. Madness
Ooh, tomatoes looking great! I’ve allowed my indeterminate tomatos to fork and grow some side shoots this year. I’m growing them in a pretty low greenhouse, so I can’t have them grow too tall. It’s fun to experiment and find growing patterns that suit my gardening options 🤩
This is what I LOVE about gardening.. so many ways and ideas and there’s no black and white way to label which is right/wrong. As you say, it’s what suits our own individual growing spaces. Having shorter, bushier plants makes total sense for you. I’m sure it’ll be a complete success for you. So excited for tomato harvests. 🥰🥰
Its June and you can still plant, plants in the garden, that's equivalent to December for my garden and the last date for planting plants for my garden is mid November and have to water day and night for 10 to 15 days.
There’s a little part of me envious for your need to water so frequently due to the heat and dryness you have that time of year. Almost the summer solstice here and we’ve not had a run of dry weather above two days all year. Such a cold, wet year for us. I love how different our gardening calendars are. Fascinates me
Clare, you have done so well in just 12 months! Well done! 😊 You should be really proud of yourself. Who cares what time your video appears, just as long as you enjoy what you do. Your video is normally my Saturday morning veg fix, but your right, it'll appear when it does. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you Linda. Such lovely comments. I love this little community we have and look forward to my little fix of the Saturday chat with you all here too. I’d miss that side if I did quit. It’s hard to believe but the plot itself is even younger. 9 months since we started to build the polytunnel 😱 See you next week.. hopefully Saturday. 😂🙏🏻🥰
Yeah this weather! I'm in N Germany, having a BBQ tomorrow, wanted to show off my veg garden ... Forecast is 15C, no sun, really windy. Plan B. Lots of cleaning the "conservatory" at the back of the house (gets about 3 hours of sun just before sunset, someone didn't think that through...) Physalis... if I ever waited for mine to drop to the ground I'd never get any!! They stay on the plant forever. Maybe it depends on the exact type. Like my tomatoes and peppers and aubergines, the Physalis won't like the next week of colder weather... But at least the brassicas might not bolt right away! I know about the stress! My broadband isn't great, it's not so bad as yours though! Is mobile better? You could try a MiFi box... They are just (finally) laying in the fiberoptic cable here (3 years late). They even did our road first! (outside the village, 3 farms). Let's see how long it takes to get the connection to the actual house... Your tomatoes look good - mine are a bit smaller, all crammed in my old greenhouse tent, ok so far, because they aren't so big. No clue on your double stems! My outdoor ones are doing well, and standing up to the wind, I'm delighted. When did you start your marigolds? I forgot and they are only just seedlings now! My alyssum is also still small. I need more spring flowers next year! I have those wee hoops - they are pretty good!
Oh Kirsty, the internet struggle is so real. It gets worse with every new invention that relies more and more on an internet connect.. be it streaming tv services, shopping or even the pesky lighting and security cameras. We are on mobile broadband now but it’s such an unstable service here. Apparently we are too close to the transmitter, which is on a neighbouring farm. The cheek of it 😂 We have what’s supposed to be super fast broadband on a landline too but we are so far from the exchange that the signal strength doesn’t carry to us. They have no plans to make changes for the properties on our lane. 1 mile away they’re getting 900mg ultra fast. 😤🤪 The main issue we’ve discovered is unlimited mobile broadband isn’t really unlimited. They slap a bandwidth restriction on you, especially on the upload side, as a fair use policy. This is why my upload is so variable. Sometimes the service provider allows it to go fine. However, other times they make it so difficult I think they hope I’ll give in. Hope you have a lovely BBQ tomorrow, in spite of the forecast trying to scupper the plans. So disappointing. We often think it’s just us here, in the UK, but the weather seems quite common in other countries too as you’ve proven. Totally sympathise 🤗
Very pleased I watched this morning on your tomato observations! I too have found some funky tomato plants… I originally thought I’d missed a sucker on the plant and made a right mess snapping it off, not realising the girth on it! I then saw some mega blooms on a few different varieties. Found another plant putting out a meristem and will leave it be for now… Not come across this before, so intrigued to find out more🤔
I’m glad I’m not alone! I wonder if the huge fluctuations in temperatures between day and night are causing them to do some funky things? Some of mine are putting up whole new second stems at ground level too 🙈
@@TheFarmyardGarden I quickly looked it up and seen some say it’s natural, to others saying viral.🫣. I did see it mentioned temp fluctuations can cause leaf curl. I’ve grown bog standard toms for some years now without issue, this year I went all out on 15 of the en vogue varieties and really excited 😂. I guess we will have to wait and see. Who knew! Please update in a future vlog if you find out anything more about it🙂
@@TheFarmyardGarden I was hoping it is funky heirlooms too😂. Will be watching out for lower stems too, not sure my single paracord will be enough🤪. Have a fab weekend Claire Kaz🤭
😂😂 Wade is so chill. Is it June with a winter coat Clare 🥶, yesterday and today it has been 30c 🥵🥵. We are in a similar situation here our broadband sucks so I have to load while visiting daughters. Glad the tip about the halos worked 👍. I must say broadband or no you garden is amazing all the issues with drainage and cold etc have not held you back. Having a Sir Duncan of the Shorts to help certainly is a bonus 😎. It will be a mega bloom yes huge cat face tomato 🍅 in the making. Have a fab and warm 🤞🤞 week ahead, Ali 🥵🇨🇦 Ps I have to water everything 😱😱
Thank you Susie. I think I’ve been more overwhelmed than I realised lately.. mostly due to stressing over RUclips stats and the weather for the farming jobs too. Feels like a cloud has lifted this week and I’m so sure harvesting some crops massively contributed to that.. and the glorious sight of the polytunnel beds. As you say, it’s good to be reminded why we do this. Thanks so much for being part of the journey with me 😍😍
I’m in west of Scotland and the weather has been wet and windy and really cold at night again just recently so I’m doing the old plant Hokey Cokey dance constantly, out then in. Desperate to get peppers out into my polycrub but it’s still too chilly although the tomatoes are bearing up well. Like you we are rural with rubbish broadband and little hope of cable ever coming out our way any time soon. We took advantage of a satellite offer and it has revolutionised our internet speed so you might want to look at that. Loving your vegetable and flower garden set up. It’s all looking great and you’re right, it’s therapy and good for the soul. I think I may have gone a bit mad this year with the dahlias though😂
You are in the most idyllic location! I love travelling up to Scotland with my dog, in our camper. Not been this year because of the garden. 🤪 I have my fleeces at the ready to pop over plants if the forecast becomes too cold again. We actually have a super fast broadband subscription with BT. Unfortunately we are so far from the exchange, which they are fully well aware about. They have no plans to install another exchange for the houses on our lane. However, sometimes it’s not too bad on the mobile broadband router but it’s so unstable. One minute we can have 0.13mb and the next 20mb upload speed. Frustrating! Starlink over offers us 5-20mb upload speed. It’s the inconsistency which drives us all day.
@@TheFarmyardGarden oh I don’t feel so bad now about the dahlias. What are we like?😂 Your marigolds in the polytunnel were so pretty I was inspired to plant a few in with my tomatoes myself. Makes it so cheerful when you go in.
In my editing software, you can increase or decrease the sound volume of each segment. I don't have a mic yet, so I often have to do that or just do a voiceover on the segment. I just play around and see if it helps. I'm still learning how to tweak things with every video. I didn't want to plonk out the $$$ for a mic until I decided if I wanted to continue.....obviously I've been sticking with it, so I should just do it LOL. So glad you didn't quit because of the internet...I look forward to watching your video's whenever it comes out. What a lovely broad bean harvest!
I can do the same in my editing software. I did raise the volume of that snippet as much as I dared, as the background noise was loud too. 😅😅 Mics are great but they do have their flaws.. generally operator errors 😂 Thanks for the support Robin. It’s such a drag with our internet connection. In an era where everything is moving to a reliability on the internet, we feel we’re being third world (so dramatic) 😅😂 Broad beans are yummy! 🤗🤗
@@TheFarmyardGarden Not dramatic at all, it takes a lot of time to film, edit etc. Then if the upload takes eons it can be disappointing. Ahhhh background noise, that's its own comedy show some days....I should have saved some snippets for a blooper reel. My first experience was when I was trying to do a 1 minute video for Will The Flying Gardener on his Kalette grow along....we were in Sedona Arizona with an amazing backdrop everywhere. It took us over 2 hours and several location moves to get a 1 minute summary recorded. We learned a lot that day amid the frustration.
@RobinGardens I think collab videos are always harder, as we are more concerned with getting it right for the person asking for the footage. I did the Christmas collab with Will and it took me over an hour to get “hello…” sounding ok 😂😂
Hi Clare, Never stress about schedule times it all catches up in the end' Your poly tunnel looks great, love watching swallows feeding like that. Nice harvest of broad beans.
Thank Ady. I’ve been so stressed over the internet that it really truly impacted my mindset during filming. Feels good to have had an epiphany about it all and realise that channel growth is secondary to enjoying the community we have here already. You’re all amazing. I really need to watch more videos myself too.. it’s on my never ending todo list 🤗
Strawflowers look great 🙂 cant wait for mine to flower either. Tunnel us look fab 👍 so pretty with all the marigolds. Good luck with the watermelon 🍉🍉. Ever thought about getting starlink internet? Might be a good option for you, plus its just cool 😆. Thanks 🙂🌱
We did look into starlink, but they only say 5-20mg tops upload and a lower download rate than we already have.. all for £190 a month with the unlimited package 😂 When the internet works, it’s better than that, it’s just unstable for some reason. I am so excited for the strawflowers. Ridiculously so ❤️❤️
First here! This is my first year growing Strawflowers. I was able to get four to germinate. They are getting buds on them now . Excited to see them. Your garden and polytunnel look so great!
Morning Rebecca. You’re an early bird too! I’m so excited for the strawflowers, does it show? I think I planted 14 plants. Mine all germinated but they just didn’t grow passed the cotyledon stage for weeks. I’d have been devastated if they didn’t amount to anything. Here’s to us enjoying their blooms soon 🙏🏻🥰
Internet issues - I feel your pain. I have no Wi-Fi however I use my hotspot on my phone to do uploading. I’ve unlimited data and by using your personal hotspot you can upload to You Tube quickly. I hope this helps. (On my iPhone I go to settings, bypass connection to Wi-Fi and switch on Personal Hotspot and the added capabilities button)
Hi Catherine. Thanks for watching. We have mobile broadband here anyway, but it’s such an unstable connection for us. I have used my phone for an upload before but my sim is now restricted under a “fair use policy” clause, which is why my uploads take progressively longer. 🥺🥺🥺
Where abouts in the UK are you? I planted WAY too many strawflowers and have had to give some away to people. I can give you some if you’re fairly local
ive had that double leader on all of my large tomatoe plants i look them off so i only have one , those suckers come in quick dont they but im on top of them now i even topped alot of them as they are at the roof of my green house but the ones in my poly are all same as yours so be cool to see how they progress and im in awe of your marigolds what a display , dont forget to dead head them
It’s going to take me all weekend to deadhead those marigolds alone. I think between those and the tomatoes, I might as well move in to the polytunnel myself 😂😂😂 I’ve taken off so many suckers. All of the heirloom tomatoes seem to have such long branches and really big individual leaves. I don’t remember them being so big last year. Sounds like your tomatoes are doing amazingly too. Given how cold it’s been, it’s a wonder any of us having them doing as well as they are. Thanks for being part of the community ❤️

The most shocking bit of you moaning about your internet is how much star-link costs I'm shocked! I try to keep a day for upload just in case but 2/3 days is a joke. You can't really make videos so much in advance or you'll be out of touch lol I should know! lol 😂

It’s cold but has been a bit drier of late, so needed to do lots of watering here too. It’s the overnight temperature that’s the worse thing… just too cold for many outdoor crops to truly flourish. It’s infuriating to think how much better the internet service is less than a mile down our lane. Halo tip is excellent! Just pure genius. You’re so wise.

Great video Clare, lovely to see your polytunnel, the plants are doing really well. Your broad beans look great too, glad you like them and the cape gooseberries. Take care
It was a lovely surprise to like the broad beans. Cape gooseberries are yummy! Delicious.
Hope you’ve had a drier Sunday than we’ve had here. 🤗
That polytunnel is looking fabulous! Absolutely fabulous!
I’m so happy with it. Worth messing about to make it pretty 😛😂🥰
@@TheFarmyardGarden defo!!!!
I love the smell of them too but I know a lot of people hate that smell
Everything looks wonderful Clare and really must look up those straw plants cause they sound truly weird and wonderful. Fab video
I am hoping they prove to be as magical as I have imagined them to be. Thanks for watching.. hope you’re having a good weekend yourself x
Morning! Thank you so much for making these videos, we too are first year allotment gardeners. My excitement grows as the season progresses and we have decided to invest in a poly tunnel for winter.
Hello, lovely to hear from you. it’s a crazy journey isn’t it, this vegetable growing malarkey.
Serious advice - buy the biggest you can afford. You won’t regret it! I wish my polytunnel was bigger now. I love it, you won’t regret adding one. 😍😍
Let’s hope we all have a lovely first full season growing 🙏🏻
New subscriber here. I’m so glad you didn’t give up, as I’m really enjoying catching up on previous videos and looking forward to the next. Your garden and allotment are an inspiration.
Thank you so much Jane, lovely comments, and welcome to the little community building in this comment section. Always lovely when new viewers take the time to leave a comment. Means so much to me❤️❤️
B-road beans are also pickable when the size of your little finger…delish when made into a “stew” with garlic, onions and tomatoes…using them whole….see Ottolenghi…
Thank you. I know Laura eats them whole like that too. I need to pick some tiny ones next. It’s just so exciting. I’ll think I’ll grow more when I sow next year’s crop. They’re an early surprise hit ❤️
4.9 degrees in the poly omg!!! 😭
Sorry to hear you have been feeling stressed with the internet 😔 no matter what date or time your upload we will tune in to catch up on you garden progress ❤
Tomatoes look so strong, I am patiently awaiting the taste test 🤞🙈 I really hope there is one that you end up liking!!
It's silage season here too, I am often stuck behind a tractor on the way to my parents 🚜 😅
Hey Laura 👋🏼
4.9° is just mad isn’t it? I nearly fell over when I saw it. Combine that with then going to 38° in the day, it’s a wonder plants are confused.
I have been treated to an iPad this week, to help with the whole editing malarkey. Let’s see if it makes a difference when I film next.
I really, really hope I like one! I’m still excited to grow them, even if I don’t. The fruit are like pretty flowers for me, so I’m truly super excited for them. If I enjoy some varieties too, massive bonus.
Those pesky farmers .. I got stuck behind one the other day. He was wearing shorts….. 😛😛
A hint…B-road beans are usually ready to pick when the pods start to face the ground…Jinxy
Oooo!!! I LOVE THIS TIP! Thank you. I’ll be checking this out when I head back out soon. I love this community of clever souls to help me with growing tips. Just brilliant 🙌🏼😍
Excellent video Clare, i am playing catch up with everyones videos at the moment. Throoughly enjoyed this one, what an absolutely massive difference in a year ( with the help of Sir Duncan of the shorts onbviously 😉.The poly tunnel and greenhouse has made things so much easier and better for you. Loving the marigolds with the outside tomatoes. You should be so proud of what you have achieved and how far you have came in such a short time. Awesome
Thanks Jimmy. It’s been a whirlwind 12 months. It’s hard to believe the plot itself wasn’t even started until the August bank holiday weekend. Madness. I am so emotionally invested in the little strip of paradise.. like I’m sure we all are for our growing spaces. It’s the hobby my younger self never knew I needed.
Thanks from watching. RUclips catch up is a thing. I’ve been doing the same over the last two days ☺️☺️ x
I'd find it a bit strange if people were hesitant to taste what they've grown, so keep on snacking! I like to see people's faces when they taste something.
Also very chilly here, got a wool cardigan on. We even had a brief hail storm the other day. Penetrated the leaves on my outside cucumbers and patty pan. They look strong and healthy otherwise, so I hope they push through this next week of still cold weather.
And again, your growing area looks amazing and it's nice to see the animals. 16 years is very good for a dog.
Hello again.. we really struggling with the weather aren’t we? It’s freezing here today. It’s quite windy, which is more worrisome when the trees are laden with leaves.
I figured I’d offset having to potentially admit I still don’t like tomatoes, as the season progresses, by showing you I do eat things I’m growing too! 😅😂
I had broad beans once, as a child, from a tin. Hated them and convinced myself I didn’t like them so never tried them since. Broad beans on toast was a revelation 😱
Thanks for watching. Here’s to better weather coming our way. Hope your cucumbers and Patty pans will be ok 🙏🏻
It’s impressive what you have achieved in 12 months Clare! Everything is looking so lush 😊🌱 broadbeans amazing 😊
It’s been such a whirlwind. We broke ground on the new plot in September last year. Unreal to think this concept of this plot is only 9 months old too.
Amazing what we can do isn’t it? Loving it all. Same with your new home vegetable garden too. It’s like it’s always been there. ❤️
Your allotment is looking amazing Clare especially your polytunnel. I'm just about to use our halos around our tomatoes. Doug ordered them but I'd never heard of them so we'll see how they go.
Must be so lovely living in the countryside. Have a great weekend ❤
Hey Linda.. thanks to Ali we all have a genius way of using the halls now. She’s so clever!
There’s a few cons to living in the countryside, phone signal coverage and internet connection being the worse but I can’t imagine not living here now.
I’m a townie by birth. It was very alien to me 23 years ago when I met Duncan… but somehow instantly felt like I’d finally found “home”. Felt like I was meant to be here.
Have a fabulous weekend xx
Great video, love seeing the farm pets 💕 polytunnel looks amazing. We share a 12 month anniversary. 😊
What a 12 months we’ve both had too, Christine. It’s flashed by in a whirlwind. Some months I’ve felt I’ve made no progress at all, but anniversaries like this are pretty good reminders. This plot itself is only 9 months old. Madness
Ooh, tomatoes looking great! I’ve allowed my indeterminate tomatos to fork and grow some side shoots this year. I’m growing them in a pretty low greenhouse, so I can’t have them grow too tall. It’s fun to experiment and find growing patterns that suit my gardening options 🤩
This is what I LOVE about gardening.. so many ways and ideas and there’s no black and white way to label which is right/wrong. As you say, it’s what suits our own individual growing spaces. Having shorter, bushier plants makes total sense for you. I’m sure it’ll be a complete success for you.
So excited for tomato harvests. 🥰🥰
Its June and you can still plant, plants in the garden, that's equivalent to December for my garden and the last date for planting plants for my garden is mid November and have to water day and night for 10 to 15 days.
There’s a little part of me envious for your need to water so frequently due to the heat and dryness you have that time of year.
Almost the summer solstice here and we’ve not had a run of dry weather above two days all year. Such a cold, wet year for us.
I love how different our gardening calendars are. Fascinates me
Clare, you have done so well in just 12 months! Well done! 😊 You should be really proud of yourself. Who cares what time your video appears, just as long as you enjoy what you do. Your video is normally my Saturday morning veg fix, but your right, it'll appear when it does. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you Linda. Such lovely comments. I love this little community we have and look forward to my little fix of the Saturday chat with you all here too. I’d miss that side if I did quit.
It’s hard to believe but the plot itself is even younger. 9 months since we started to build the polytunnel 😱
See you next week.. hopefully Saturday. 😂🙏🏻🥰
Another good video
Thank you. ☺️
Yeah this weather! I'm in N Germany, having a BBQ tomorrow, wanted to show off my veg garden ... Forecast is 15C, no sun, really windy. Plan B. Lots of cleaning the "conservatory" at the back of the house (gets about 3 hours of sun just before sunset, someone didn't think that through...)
Physalis... if I ever waited for mine to drop to the ground I'd never get any!! They stay on the plant forever. Maybe it depends on the exact type.
Like my tomatoes and peppers and aubergines, the Physalis won't like the next week of colder weather... But at least the brassicas might not bolt right away!
I know about the stress! My broadband isn't great, it's not so bad as yours though! Is mobile better? You could try a MiFi box... They are just (finally) laying in the fiberoptic cable here (3 years late). They even did our road first! (outside the village, 3 farms). Let's see how long it takes to get the connection to the actual house...
Your tomatoes look good - mine are a bit smaller, all crammed in my old greenhouse tent, ok so far, because they aren't so big. No clue on your double stems! My outdoor ones are doing well, and standing up to the wind, I'm delighted.
When did you start your marigolds? I forgot and they are only just seedlings now! My alyssum is also still small. I need more spring flowers next year!
I have those wee hoops - they are pretty good!
Oh Kirsty, the internet struggle is so real. It gets worse with every new invention that relies more and more on an internet connect.. be it streaming tv services, shopping or even the pesky lighting and security cameras.
We are on mobile broadband now but it’s such an unstable service here. Apparently we are too close to the transmitter, which is on a neighbouring farm. The cheek of it 😂
We have what’s supposed to be super fast broadband on a landline too but we are so far from the exchange that the signal strength doesn’t carry to us. They have no plans to make changes for the properties on our lane. 1 mile away they’re getting 900mg ultra fast. 😤🤪
The main issue we’ve discovered is unlimited mobile broadband isn’t really unlimited. They slap a bandwidth restriction on you, especially on the upload side, as a fair use policy. This is why my upload is so variable. Sometimes the service provider allows it to go fine. However, other times they make it so difficult I think they hope I’ll give in.
Hope you have a lovely BBQ tomorrow, in spite of the forecast trying to scupper the plans. So disappointing. We often think it’s just us here, in the UK, but the weather seems quite common in other countries too as you’ve proven. Totally sympathise 🤗
Very pleased I watched this morning on your tomato observations! I too have found some funky tomato plants… I originally thought I’d missed a sucker on the plant and made a right mess snapping it off, not realising the girth on it! I then saw some mega blooms on a few different varieties. Found another plant putting out a meristem and will leave it be for now… Not come across this before, so intrigued to find out more🤔
I’m glad I’m not alone! I wonder if the huge fluctuations in temperatures between day and night are causing them to do some funky things?
Some of mine are putting up whole new second stems at ground level too 🙈
@@TheFarmyardGarden I quickly looked it up and seen some say it’s natural, to others saying viral.🫣. I did see it mentioned temp fluctuations can cause leaf curl. I’ve grown bog standard toms for some years now without issue, this year I went all out on 15 of the en vogue varieties and really excited 😂. I guess we will have to wait and see. Who knew! Please update in a future vlog if you find out anything more about it🙂
@@kazjohns great research there! I think it’s probably an heirloom thing and the funkiness makes it all a bit more exciting too ❤️
@@TheFarmyardGarden I was hoping it is funky heirlooms too😂. Will be watching out for lower stems too, not sure my single paracord will be enough🤪.
Have a fab weekend Claire
Kaz🤭
@kazjohns I’m just tying mine to it now. Not much option 😂😅🫣
Hope you have a fab weekend too ❤️
Check his internet speed 😂😂😂thank you that's where I've been doing things wrong. xx
The struggle is real! Follow me for important life tips 🤣🤣
😂😂 Wade is so chill. Is it June with a winter coat Clare 🥶, yesterday and today it has been 30c 🥵🥵. We are in a similar situation here our broadband sucks so I have to load while visiting daughters. Glad the tip about the halos worked 👍. I must say broadband or no you garden is amazing all the issues with drainage and cold etc have not held you back. Having a Sir Duncan of the Shorts to help certainly is a bonus 😎. It will be a mega bloom yes huge cat face tomato 🍅 in the making. Have a fab and warm 🤞🤞 week ahead, Ali 🥵🇨🇦
Ps I have to water everything 😱😱
Forgot to say.. 30°.. not jealous at all 😂😛🥺
Brilliant video Clare .Reminds us why were all here and the joy of growing your own 🎉
Thank you Susie.
I think I’ve been more overwhelmed than I realised lately.. mostly due to stressing over RUclips stats and the weather for the farming jobs too. Feels like a cloud has lifted this week and I’m so sure harvesting some crops massively contributed to that.. and the glorious sight of the polytunnel beds.
As you say, it’s good to be reminded why we do this. Thanks so much for being part of the journey with me 😍😍
I’m in west of Scotland and the weather has been wet and windy and really cold at night again just recently so I’m doing the old plant Hokey Cokey dance constantly, out then in. Desperate to get peppers out into my polycrub but it’s still too chilly although the tomatoes are bearing up well. Like you we are rural with rubbish broadband and little hope of cable ever coming out our way any time soon. We took advantage of a satellite offer and it has revolutionised our internet speed so you might want to look at that. Loving your vegetable and flower garden set up. It’s all looking great and you’re right, it’s therapy and good for the soul. I think I may have gone a bit mad this year with the dahlias though😂
You are in the most idyllic location! I love travelling up to Scotland with my dog, in our camper. Not been this year because of the garden. 🤪
I have my fleeces at the ready to pop over plants if the forecast becomes too cold again.
We actually have a super fast broadband subscription with BT. Unfortunately we are so far from the exchange, which they are fully well aware about. They have no plans to install another exchange for the houses on our lane.
However, sometimes it’s not too bad on the mobile broadband router but it’s so unstable. One minute we can have 0.13mb and the next 20mb upload speed. Frustrating! Starlink over offers us 5-20mb upload speed. It’s the inconsistency which drives us all day.
Forgot to add.. 31 dahlias here too 😂
@@TheFarmyardGarden
oh I don’t feel so bad now about the dahlias. What are we like?😂
Your marigolds in the polytunnel were so pretty I was inspired to plant a few in with my tomatoes myself. Makes it so cheerful when you go in.
In my editing software, you can increase or decrease the sound volume of each segment. I don't have a mic yet, so I often have to do that or just do a voiceover on the segment. I just play around and see if it helps. I'm still learning how to tweak things with every video. I didn't want to plonk out the $$$ for a mic until I decided if I wanted to continue.....obviously I've been sticking with it, so I should just do it LOL.
So glad you didn't quit because of the internet...I look forward to watching your video's whenever it comes out.
What a lovely broad bean harvest!
I can do the same in my editing software. I did raise the volume of that snippet as much as I dared, as the background noise was loud too. 😅😅
Mics are great but they do have their flaws.. generally operator errors 😂
Thanks for the support Robin. It’s such a drag with our internet connection. In an era where everything is moving to a reliability on the internet, we feel we’re being third world (so dramatic) 😅😂
Broad beans are yummy! 🤗🤗
@@TheFarmyardGarden Not dramatic at all, it takes a lot of time to film, edit etc. Then if the upload takes eons it can be disappointing.
Ahhhh background noise, that's its own comedy show some days....I should have saved some snippets for a blooper reel. My first experience was when I was trying to do a 1 minute video for Will The Flying Gardener on his Kalette grow along....we were in Sedona Arizona with an amazing backdrop everywhere. It took us over 2 hours and several location moves to get a 1 minute summary recorded. We learned a lot that day amid the frustration.
@RobinGardens I think collab videos are always harder, as we are more concerned with getting it right for the person asking for the footage. I did the Christmas collab with Will and it took me over an hour to get “hello…” sounding ok 😂😂
Hi Clare, Never stress about schedule times it all catches up in the end'
Your poly tunnel looks great, love watching swallows feeding like that.
Nice harvest of broad beans.
Thank Ady. I’ve been so stressed over the internet that it really truly impacted my mindset during filming.
Feels good to have had an epiphany about it all and realise that channel growth is secondary to enjoying the community we have here already. You’re all amazing.
I really need to watch more videos myself too.. it’s on my never ending todo list 🤗
@@TheFarmyardGarden You are very welcome to upload here if need.
Don't get caught up with numbers, you have grown fast and will continue to do so.
Strawflowers look great 🙂 cant wait for mine to flower either.
Tunnel us look fab 👍 so pretty with all the marigolds. Good luck with the watermelon 🍉🍉.
Ever thought about getting starlink internet? Might be a good option for you, plus its just cool 😆.
Thanks 🙂🌱
We did look into starlink, but they only say 5-20mg tops upload and a lower download rate than we already have.. all for £190 a month with the unlimited package 😂
When the internet works, it’s better than that, it’s just unstable for some reason.
I am so excited for the strawflowers. Ridiculously so ❤️❤️
First here! This is my first year growing Strawflowers. I was able to get four to germinate. They are getting buds on them now . Excited to see them. Your garden and polytunnel look so great!
Morning Rebecca. You’re an early bird too! I’m so excited for the strawflowers, does it show?
I think I planted 14 plants. Mine all germinated but they just didn’t grow passed the cotyledon stage for weeks. I’d have been devastated if they didn’t amount to anything.
Here’s to us enjoying their blooms soon 🙏🏻🥰
Internet issues - I feel your pain. I have no Wi-Fi however I use my hotspot on my phone to do uploading. I’ve unlimited data and by using your personal hotspot you can upload to You Tube quickly. I hope this helps. (On my iPhone I go to settings, bypass connection to Wi-Fi and switch on Personal Hotspot and the added capabilities button)
Hi Catherine.
Thanks for watching. We have mobile broadband here anyway, but it’s such an unstable connection for us. I have used my phone for an upload before but my sim is now restricted under a “fair use policy” clause, which is why my uploads take progressively longer. 🥺🥺🥺
Where abouts in the UK are you? I planted WAY too many strawflowers and have had to give some away to people. I can give you some if you’re fairly local
Oooo how marvellous to have that many. I’m in Staffordshire
I am defiantly going to sow more next year ❤️❤️
ive had that double leader on all of my large tomatoe plants i look them off so i only have one , those suckers come in quick dont they but im on top of them now i even topped alot of them as they are at the roof of my green house but the ones in my poly are all same as yours so be cool to see how they progress and im in awe of your marigolds what a display , dont forget to dead head them
It’s going to take me all weekend to deadhead those marigolds alone. I think between those and the tomatoes, I might as well move in to the polytunnel myself 😂😂😂
I’ve taken off so many suckers. All of the heirloom tomatoes seem to have such long branches and really big individual leaves. I don’t remember them being so big last year.
Sounds like your tomatoes are doing amazingly too. Given how cold it’s been, it’s a wonder any of us having them doing as well as they are.
Thanks for being part of the community ❤️
@@TheFarmyardGarden i used to be on the discord but hate having so many accounts so stick just just a few so i dont get overwhelmed we have been gardening about the same time i use to chat alot on there but it went a lil quiet x
@@__Shellspace__ I deleted my discord account the other day. I only used it for Eli & Kate’s channel, which I love, but I was spending too much time on it. 🙈
It looks amazing Clare. Good job 👏🏽💚
I'm going to give these straw flowers a go!
Also, I have one of those Carnivorous plants you have on that bed. But mine goes brown and dies 😢
Another mic fail! 😂 I cursed everyone haven't I 🫣
7:12 Ali's great isn't she! 👏🏽🌱
I love all your marigolds. I hate your internet speed. 😂 no pressure about getting your videos done at a set time. You do it when you can. 🥰
Outdoor tons are looking lovely still Clare. I have a rogue one from self seeded tigerella last year! Looking forward to him growing
Both luffas doing great too. Best of luck with them
Loved this video 😍
Hey Rach.
I think you’ve gotten calendular mixed up with the carnivorous plant you’re growing. ☺️
I’m so pleased with the polytunnel and I love the smell of the marigolds. They are such a lovely sight.
Mic fails all around .. and yeah.. Ali is lovely
Hope your tomatoes grow well. Have a fab week xx
@@TheFarmyardGarden haha that calendular is gonna get you 🤣💚
I've not had marigolds before and they do smell lovely 🙂
Thank you 🍅🍅 I'll be canning again in no time 🆘🤣
Hint to Duncan.... you need to get an Internet mast on your farm❤😂
Funny story.. the neighbouring farmer has one. We are apparently too close to it! 😂😂😂😂
What is the name of the silver-white enchanting plant at 3:10?
I think it’s known as Silver Dust, but it’s a Cineraria. Very common begging plant, used as an annual. ☺️
Are you trying for a thumbs down from me?😂😂😂😂😂 not once, not twice but three times!!!😂😂😂 regardless tho this was a very interesting video…. Can’t get over your straw flowers!
At least nothing I ate was slurpy juicy 😂😂😂
Cannot wait to see those strawflowers in bloom
@@TheFarmyardGarden I’m glad too! 🤣 they’re going to be epic🌸🌺🌼
The most shocking bit of you moaning about your internet is how much star-link costs I'm shocked! I try to keep a day for upload just in case but 2/3 days is a joke. You can't really make videos so much in advance or you'll be out of touch lol I should know! lol 😂
Yes! That’s the other problem, banking videos for in advance really doesn’t work so well at this point in the season.
I’ll just keep plodding on 🤪

It’s cold but has been a bit drier of late, so needed to do lots of watering here too. It’s the overnight temperature that’s the worse thing… just too cold for many outdoor crops to truly flourish.
It’s infuriating to think how much better the internet service is less than a mile down our lane.
Halo tip is excellent! Just pure genius. You’re so wise. Thank you .. it was always as helpful as Duncan can be ☺️🤗
