- firstly a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who commented on my last vlog, was feeling a bit low with the thought of giving up the plots, even though I know it is the right thing to do. Your comments were so lovely, supportive and heartwarming. I appreciate each and everyone of you, I really do. Thanks again you lovely bunch....
Soooo with the above in mind, it helped push me out of the door, go rummaging in the garage for some old wellies (2 sizes too big!) and get cracking on the home plots. Well at least get started, so thank you for that too.
It was great to have Rosie's company as well.
Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching....

Your tree could be a damson plum or maybe a crab apple both can be preserved. Good luck clearing the jungle, you work so hard at your looking after your family, cooking, working at your job, it’ll be so much easier not having to travel 🎉. Another bonus is that Rosie will love spending more time with you.
Lovely to see you and Rosie together in your own garden❤
That bush is a bullace or wild plum. Really yummy small blush/golden fruit. We have 2 trees in my garden. They seem to be common in Sussex and are wild.
I'm so pleased they're damson (i googled bullace or other name damson) they go nearly up to the house, when do they ripen? Imagine its September - tis a guess lol. Cannot wait to make damson jam yum yum
You've done it before Kerry you can do it again. Looking forward to your kitchen garden journey. Rosie will be there to keep you company. Good luck with it. Will be great to see the changing seasons.
You'll soon have it in shape Kerry and you haven't got travelling time to the plots who ever gets your plots are lucky you have done alot of hard work for them. Lovely to see Rosie is it a plum tree 🌹🐈Xxxx
Thanks Rosa💕💕It was lovely to have Rosie freely wandering about, I would have to tether her if at the plots. That strange tree/bush has been identified by Angela in the comments, it's a white bullace, very similar to a plum so you're close to the mark Rosa😀👍💕
Love the Merlin app! We have loads of Red Kites where we are. From what people have told me I think your crow would have been attacking the Red Kite, not the other way around, believe it or not! 😮 Red Kites are scavengers and only eat dead, young or injured - very lazy!! 😂😂😂
Yes crows attack Red Kites
Amazing view I wish I had that Instread of overgrown horse chestnut trees that are hanging at least 10 foot or more over my back garden no and they are on someone else’s property not mine
That fruit bush looks like wild plum. When you want to ID something, take a photo with your phone and use Google Lens. My phone has Lens in the camera editing app. Very useful it is too. Good luck with the new plot, Kerry!
She said she tried Google lens and it suggested tomato. 😅 They don't always get it right.
@@trold1969 That's weird. I find Lens on my mobile phone quite helpful 🤔
@@beecee4435 Me too, but it depends, it's easier when there is a flower and not just foliage and some unripe fruit. I wouldn't use it to check if a mushroom was edible. ;)
@@trold1969 Haha me neither 🤣
Small birds chirp the noisiest it's great to hear them over the larger ones ..... it's Rosie ❤❤❤❤❤
Funny, the next video suggested by RUclips is "Why not rewild your garden?" Lol, no, I love watching weeding on timelapse, it's very satisfying. Lovely to see Rosie as well. I've got the Merlin app after you suggested it in a previous video - it's so fun, especially when I walk the dog by the river, so many different birds there.
You’re really doing a great job clearing the home plot Kerry, I guess that’s one benefit of the rain it makes pulling weeds out easier. Looking forward to watching progress of the home garden too, Love all your vlogs ❤
Picture this app is usually not bad at identifying plants as long as they're not young 😊
Garden plot 001 is coming up and and working at speed seems to make things easy, go for it Kerry.
Thank you David👋😀💕
Hi Kerry love love seeing the garden plot transforming I think fruit is maybe a damson xx
Can’t wait to see the transformation of your home plot…plus what a bonus to have Rosie in the video xx
Today's weather is horrendous it's gales wet cold I give up I'm back in jumpers have been all week or so it's unbelievable what we are having....my cats are fed up too.....my finger joints are hurting as no summer warmth ...😢😢😢 I now realise why people emigrate....
Rosie is lovely! We're downloading the merlin app for our allotment - thanks for the tip :)
My favourite app by far! and thank you re Rosie, she's a beaut. Got us wrapped round her big paws lol.
I can't believe how freezing it is. I know I'm in Scotland but even so .
Kerry you are doing a brilliant job even nicer to see you at home especially with Rosie running around lt will be lovely to watch the progress as the weeks go by ❤❤❤
Great vlog. I see a spark of happiness in your eyes and face. Remind yourself of all you accomplished on plot 25+1 in a year and a half. Happy that you are really thinking this through and bringing your plants with you to your home garden. I know it's sad but you learned alot, produced alot of food in that year and a half. You will be happy on days like this where you won't use gasoline to get to allotment for it to be raining or other people making it uncomfortable to film. Now, you can work on your garden when the mood moves you...stop and start..only walk to house for something you forgot to bring in your basket to the allotment....a quick trip to the bathroom...you can adjust your meal plan for what your cooking by looking out the kitchen window for what is available at your fingertips. Most importantly, you and your family (together) can gaze from the kitchen window, covered pathway or patio at all your hard work and accomplishments!! Rosie will be happy to be with you. Oh, one funny thing you mentioned about the aerial situation with the birds vs the planes flight pattern always aligned with your visits to the allotment. Looking forward to another slurp with you. So proud of you. 😊
Hi Kerry it could be a damson
Think you're right Kathleen😀👍💕
Hi Kerry according to a plant app I’ve got it says it is hollyleaf cherry xx
Ooo interesting thank you Rebecca😀👍💕I've just had a look online and the leaves are spiky (like holly) mine aren't, at the mo am thinking Damson. Love a mystery!
Nice to see you in your garden , will look forward to,seeing doing your gardening here. It will be so much better for yourself. I think I would be checking what you have been told with your septic tank issues. That’s so naughty, your old plots needed a lot of hard work , but look how lovely you got that. Kerry. It all takes time, but I know you will do it, and it will be just as nice , just don’t expect to much to soon. Hope you don’t come across any snakes out there or slow worms, if it was I would be running for my life and never return, hehe. They are not a plum are they , a yellow plum looks very much like that, but I cannot remember it’s description.
Hi Kerry, I think your herb might be Oregano.
Hi Kerry, I've been so excited to see you in your home plot. Lovely to see Rosie with you, she needs a yellow hi fi as a project manager😂 To be able to get a fresh coffee when you want & not having to time watch. You will make short work on that, have every faith in you. I agree the weather is mad🙄 we get everything in one day. The lighter nights are coming, let's pray with some better weather too. Happy gardening my lovely and looking forward to seeing you on the next one, byee 👋Jen 💕😘xx
can you bag up some of your compost from plots and put in your garden save you buying any take care
Hi there Dear Kerry , Look like Damson ?
They are! That's so brilliant, cannot wait to make damson jam 😋😋😋
Down lord the plant finder on your phone
See you soon xxx
Keep at it Kerry, remember Rome wasn’t built in a day, good luck with your home project xx
Thank you Jo👋😀💕 so true
No shed.... we need a shed to slurp coffee in 😮!!!
Or a bench😊
According to Google where I searched it may be a lemon tree😊
Ooo interesting! One to watch for sure
@@Kerry.Morton did the porridge method work?
Wish I had your energy , I'm gradually beating the growth at the end of my garden😊
Go for it Heather💪😀💕 the pesky weeds seem to grow so fast!
Wow Kerry...the Kitchen garden has gone really wild since first we saw it! Nature wll take over. I'm so impressed with your 'can do' approach. I think of how Plot 25 was just a year ago. You will soon get the Kitchen garden under control. I take a wander round my tiny container allotment every morning...you'll be able to do the same...its a peaceful 'me' time of day... Im usually still in my PJ's!!! Greenhouse maybe...one day?? Shed...(after your renovation of shed on Plot 26..you can make lovely out of grotty..).it could be your artist studio too!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂Big hugs xxx Damson for sure...makes yummyiest jam!!!!
Aww thank you Mel👋😀💕 true re nature! Was a shock when I first ventured down there after months of neglect, wowzers! But great to feel rejuvenated to crack on now the decision has been made💪😀am looking for a 2nd hand shed on fb marketplace 🤞🤞ooo a greenhouse, the stuff of dreams lol. You have such a lovely full to the brim garden Mel😍, I look forward to when I too can go down in my pj's with a cuppa (once this weather improves!🤞) love to you n Suz🥰🥰🥰 damson jam!!! Am so lucky xxx
@@Kerry.Morton even more amazing with RAF flypast..wow..double wow!! What a treat!! Two things...can you bring shed from Plot25 or not allowed??? You've spent so much time n money...secondly...if you can't bring the shed..why spend more on it? Let new allotment user finish it??? Just my two p'ennorth....much love back...I'm making Green Soop..a CC staple
Potatoes onions and all things green from garden..kale.. Chard...spinach...mustard greens
..Nasturtiums..some stock...in pressure cooker for 4 mins...whizzed n ...yum!! Xxxx
You’ll get there Kerry and with Rosie’s help 😂 it’s not going to take long and you’ve already got a lot of plants so it’s just transferring and deciding which plants grow where.
I have just completed my bike shed and planted a Alpine roof on top of it . Also I’ve relocated my pond due to an old Ash tree having Ash die back and now every time we get strong winds leaves and branches keep falling off it which is causing damage to where the pond was. Looking forward to the next video of (plot 25 +1 Home coming ❤)
Hi Kerry, Lovely vlog. Great to see you in your garden, can’t wait to see your garden grow with veggies and salad you’ll enjoy it much better no dashing to the allotment. Xx love from Linda C ❤❤😊😊
Also fruit as well 😊
Spanish Lime so Google lens says ?!?! What do u think ?! Cx
It looks like you are going to have a good fruit harvest there at least this year. If you are unable to dig up the boysenberry from the allotment you could take cuttings and grow from them and put them in your garden plot. I know how much you love the boysenberry. I bet that honeysuckle smells amazing in the evenings. Good luck with the clearing. Shame about the septic tank, surely you can get some legal recompense if the previous owner didn’t disclose the problem in the TA6 disclosure document? I am no expert but might be worth seeking some advice from those that are.
I've recommended the Merlin app to quite a few interested people all down to you Kerry !!! 😅 and you can impress people when you identify the bird singing as it's very educational the common chiff chaff is my favourite as I never knew I had him so he chiff chaffs all day...!!!! Hes v loud too but the wren is the noisiest! Yep heating has been on its a crime never ever have I had tomato this and have my bed heater on too crazy..
Such a good name: chiff chaff 😄👍 its definitely my fav app Carole
Hi Kerry, I think the bush is a bullace, similar to a plum. Take care.
Oh! Thank you Angela, I've just googled it and it really does look like a white bullace (green damson) that's so amazing, thank you v v much🎯💕
I think it’s a type of Prunus. Cherry plum
No difference really : allotment / kitchen garden - I expect bigger projects, better pond, imported hedgehogs, regular dog interruptions, bigger shed with coffee machine, impressive slurping, and better composting😂❤
I'm glad I was right about your fruit bush's, love a wee something for nothing 😊
Thanks so much Irene, me too!! 👋😀💕
Sounds like the field/drain/leach lines from your septic are clogged. If you have field lines in the UK. This is a series of perforated pipes that are set in trenches and buried with aggregates (½- to 2½-inch gravel or ½- to 4-inch rubber chips) and soil. These drain lines are at a minimum depth of 6 inches and are typically 18 to 36 inches wide. The individual drain lines will usually be 8½ to 10 feet apart. Or your septic box and drain field may be too small for your household (loads of clothes, showers/baths, dish washing, flushing toilets). It could even have been put in without allowing for a washing machine. I never wash more than one load of clothes a day to give the tank a chance to drain. Try to keep plants away from the septic system and be careful digging, weeding and planting (even raised beds of no till beds) in and near the field and tank. Lawn grass is all that is recommended to cover the septic and drain field. Love you.
Buzzard ? I have a few of them... sparrow hawk occasionally so not needed they kill ... but that's nature 😮😢
You seem lost without your shed. Any chance of getting a second hand one for your garden?
I'm definitely looking😀👍 there is a good space just outside of the home plot, think there was a shed there in the past. I love a shed lol
Could that fruit be Damsons. When I take my sons dog for a walk there’s a Damson tree that looks similar. Great to see your new garden project Kerry.
Someone else said Damson as well (or Bullace which is the same thing) I'm thinking you are right😀👍👍
This can be plot25+1 the home addition !
Sure it will look great once you have tamed everything
Thank you Shirley, yes!💪😀💕
Are they cherries? ps. My dog liked staring at your dog 😁😁
Haha that really made me chuckle Philip, your dog watching mine. Angela below says it could be a bullace, googled and it looks very like it (also known as a damson) the comment section comes up trumps once again😀👍
Can I ask how much it costs to have the tank emptied, please?
It costs us £130, do you have one? How much do you pay? Cheers!😀👍
coming on
Thank you Poppa😀👍💕
Wimbledon is 1st - 14th July…….please let us have some decent weather…….!
