    Thanks for your inspiring vlogs, I think they'll help many new gardeners as well as ol' hands. Hope you can put this towards adding space for a greenhouse at the van site. Facebook marketplace for a second hand greenhouse...?

    This is exactly what happened to me and my daughter. 10 years with a private landlord who decided to sell. I am disabled so the council did re house me and my daughter but i had to fight all the way for it. The system is so messed up. Good luck with your move. I think you made the right choice.

    G'day Ivan, at 75 I shall be watching you with a very keen eye and taking on your ideas. I too am moving on from a 4-bed home on 1/4 acre to a ground floor property with a hankie size patch of lawn. Container planting has been on my mind as I move my 'stuff' so it'll be really interesting to see how you go plus what does and doesn't work, as the saying goes 'when life gives you lemons make lemonade'. Good luck and stay positive Jenny

    Hi Ivan, we had to move from a lovely house with a large garden, used to grow all our own veg and kept pigs and chickens in south Lincolnshire on the marsh about a mile from the wash. All we could afford was a 1 bedroom first floor flat with only a communal garden. We put our names down for an allotment and after two years got one. It’s eight miles away but it’s still our space and we can grow again. I have a little grow house which I’ve been allowed to put in the garden so I can sow in the flat and bring on in the grow house. Hoping I will be allowed to put a few pots in the same area so really interested to see how your containers do.
    I wish you all the luck in the world, I know how much it hurts to leave a lovely garden but we bounced back and I’m sure you will too. Love and blessings.

  • @Bessie66
    @Bessie66 9 месяцев назад +19

    FFS totally empathic with you - we rent but luckily by a big private estate ( some tenants have been born and died in theses houses).
    They wanted to increase the rent by £70 last month (negotiated to £40 increase) for next 2 years but like you Ivan, went down the council route - no bloody chance!
    We too looked at the static caravan but bamboozled with permanent 12 month tenancy - such a mind field 😱
    Banks and mortgage lenders really ought to take into consideration how long someone has paid into renting somewhere without arrears as security that they are good security for the future.
    Feel so sorry for young people nowadays - you have either got to be very rich or very poor - nothing for the hard working middle people 😢

      The banks are owned by Blackrock/Vanguard,/Statestreet who fund all the NGO'S who control our Government and make policies,
      They plan to make it impossible to afford a house and they are buying up all the land and property to build their 15 minute Cities
      Or Ghettos, When Liebour get in who are also WEF controlled just like the current parasites in power there will be 15 million migrants imported into the country by 2030 to boost our economy and they'll tell us it will help the housing crisis.

      Been through the same ourselves with a good old section 21 a couple of years ago You've done the right thing taking control. We did and it's great no longer worrying about landlords! I also put my name down for an allotment. Waited a while, but now been allocated one, so I agree with others that you might want to get your name down. Wishing you the very best and good luck to anyone else who is having to rent privately.

    So sorry to hear that. We put ads in about 30 facebook groups and found a reasonably price house with a garden the size of several alotments with a private landlord. The house isn't perfect and needs a lot of work but we're grateful we have a place for now. Took us 6 months though so did the same as you, loads of container gardening. Good luck with your move ❤

    @FreeYourMindArt 9 месяцев назад +2

    So sorry to hear that you have to move out, it is a wonderful place to grow your own without an allotment. Make sure that you sell the greenhouses and get a few quid for them. A lot of landlords around here are selling up too and evicting tenants, Are you allowed to stay in the caravan all year through? A lot around here close for about 6 weeks. I wish you and the Mrs lots of luck and look forward to updates.

We lived in a static caravan for a year when between houses and I loved it. Less housework, warm and cosy and our outgoings fell dramatically. Your positivity will get you through this and I can't wait to see your videos about container gardening, please don't give up, you have a lot of followers out here. Good luck with the move and take care of yourselves.

    Oh I'm sorry hear about you having to move, I only had 6 weeks to move after only been there for 2 years. I cried all day on the day of move. Its been 5 years and I still feel it. But I kept busy and got to nesting again to make the new place home. Gardening is great for this. I really appreciate all you put up on youtube. When I had no garden, on the 1st floor, I was fortunate enough to have a small balcony. I filled it with lavender, strawberries, chives, nasturtiums and also had a blueberry bush. All containers. I love your positive attitude and taking control of the situation. Looking forward to see what you do in the new place.

    Are you allowed to have a wall greenhouse or two? I have 4 little lean to coldframes that I bought cheaply from Aldi. They have 4 shelves, made in wood and glazed with polycarbonate. Opening top window and 2 opening doors. They are great for protecting plants early on and then for growing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and melons in. Good luck with your new life adventure. I am sure it will b fantastic and great to have your own place with no worries of ever being evicted or terrible rent rises. Happy gardening 🙂

    You're very lucky that you're already very knowledgeable when it comes to gardening. You just need to transfer your knowledge to container gardening now. I'll be watching your new videos closely since the only gardening I do is in containers as well.
    Good luck with your new adventure. And may you have many many abundant harvests :-)

    Hi Ivan. You had said you were going to be moving but didnt realise you were being forced in to it by your landlord. I hope everything works out in your new home. Im sure it will, you have such a positive attitude. A little greenhouse or cold frame would be handy for you if room or maybe you will be able to get a nearby allotment. I have done a small donation which i hope will help a little. All the very best. Trevor.
