Just harvested my garlic. Its perfect,no rust and really good size.Grew potatoes in 30l containers last year which were slightly buried in ground. When they were harvested I put the spent compost back in hole and put in garlic cloves in September.Spot on.
Your videos are so great and so inspiring! Love watching what your garden is doing while I'm gardening the same month across the world. So fun and such a beautiful allotment!🌷🌻🌱
Omg 😍 you are truly beautiful I could listen to you for ever ❤️ love your channel very informative and really easy too watch keep the videos coming xxxx
Your plot is wonderful : I really love the rustic feel with the natural bean & squash structures. The lupins are beautiful. What a fantastic space for a bbq !!! Take care. Jan x
Your garden looks amazing! The lapel mic you use is such a great addition to your videos because your voice is soothing and you narrate very well. Keep up the great work sharing your journey 🙂
I love it gardening is good for mind ,body soul! I have starting & learning gardening now too! Thanks for the garden tour! I have enjoyed watching your videos!
I just adore your tours and how you approach gardening in your allotment. It’s awesome that you include wildlife. I particularly enjoy the dahlia bed area with the stonework and frothy looking flowers. Gorgeous!
It surprises me how much I enjoy your garden podcasts. You are so knowledgeable about growing methods! You must have almost a photographic memory to know so much at such a young age. I am really impressed 😊. Thanks for sharing.
Roses - My desert island luxury! Can't walk past them at the moment without drinking in that wonderful scent. Just planted one on my plot called Sheila's Perfume which I first came across on a rainy day in Ireland last year. It's an absolute knockout! Love the natural way your plot's developing. Thanks for sharing
A beautiful garden with on of the best tour hostess'. My first rhubarb harvest will be tomorrow. Your Squash mountain!!! I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing!!!
I think getting micro lilies and clearing the birdbath as well as filling it with water would add to the harmony of your house. Helping the animals will lead to good fortune.
Your natural trellising is incredible! I made my first "squash mountain" this year out of bamboo, but yours is so much nicer. They are going to be magazine worthy when they fill out!
Wonderful garden, full of hope and expectation. I have 2 varieties of garlic,20 each, planted last Fall in zone 4. This is my first time growing garlic. From what I’ve been told by neighbors, I have about 4 - 6 weeks left until they’ll be ready. No signs of rust.
Plot is looking amazing. You've got the same lupins as me. I think we are in for another hot summer this year. Started to make a cold frame through the lockdown. Courgette plants are massive in my green house, amongst toms, melons and cucumbers. Really busy time in the garden this time of year.
It's so interesting that you all have had a 2 month dry/hot spell all the way over there (and up there) from me. Down here in Southern Ohio (Zone 6), we had a very, very wet spring and are just now drying out from all the rain of last month. We had a late hard freeze here too (early May). It's very hot now though (90's already).
My mouth started watering when you turned that strawberry around. My brain could tell it would have been a bit sour. And I haven't seen a bullfinch for many years in this country..
That's interesting! I'm currently living in Utah, USA and we also experienced a warm dry spring, no rain and strong winds in may, followed by nearly freezing temperatures in early June and then back to scorching hot temperatures. BTW, I had not idea Lara Croft had a garden!
Dont worry about the rust, I always get some on my garlic that I always plant from saved cloves, it doesn.t affect the bulb, but it can transfer to onions.
Looking good. At our allotment we grow Galena outdoors, with 2 or 3 stems to each plant. It's a great tasting tomato but grows a bit on the sparse side. Having the extra growth increases the crop nicely and causes no problems for the plants.
Really enjoying your updates. My first reaction to seeing your allotment was downhearted exasperation,my plants are nowhere near as advanced as yours. Then I realised, you're several weeks ahead of us here in Denmark. Your allotment is a great inspiration to me. Looking forward to seeing June's update 😊
My uncle ripped all of his netting out after finding a dead blackbird. Even if they don't get under it they can still get their feet trapped in it. Not good. Just ordered some enviro mesh off Amazon too avoid this. Apart from that, everything is blooming! Love the bullfinches. Very rare! Enjoy your channel very much 💚
Plot is looking fantastic. Also trying to grow Lord Leicester again after an unsuccessful year last year when they wilted just before flowering. Love the optimism about a hot summer. Expect normal service (grey and rainy) to resume in July and August
I used to have a problem with garlic rust every year until I started peeling my saved cloves, soaking in hot water (as hot as the tap goes) for about 10 minutes, then soaking in a mixture of diluted neem oil, baking soda and seaweed emulsion for several hours before planting. I have no idea why it works since they say garlic rust is airborne, but it works 100%!
I love your garden gate😁 WHAT is that tiny flower plant when you walked right into your garden? I LOVE that! Please let me know 🌸 You’ll be amazed how much you can divide your Hostas, we have SO MUCH from a small lil starting a few years ago. Yours is beautiful! Your garden is absolutely beautiful, I love the wild growing in areas, just beautiful.🌺
I have an Allotment in Stoke On Trent and them few frosty nights killed nearly everyones beans in the whole alootment, like 50 plots, was crazy! I stuck some runner seeds in just after and they are doing well.
Love your allotment! great video. I'm in south Notts and it's great too what others in the area have growing given the ever changing weather - my honesty plants have flopped too, and our fig needs staking as it's had so much growth it's become a bit wobbly :-) Foxgloves, watermelons and blue hosta's are also going nuts which is lovely. Thanks for sharing, you're a fab host - have subscribed! (P.s If you want a fast climber for the heras fence, Kiwis work really well in this zone and have the most amazing leaves).
Very beautiful plot Lots going on there I am a home gardener nearby you (Staffordshire) and like to grow flowers, veggies and fruit. I agree weather has been really hot and dry this spring with late last frost and lots of hurricanes and hailstorms this year.
Hi I came to you via Bryher Farm and Nials Garden Loved your Greenhose, replacing the Polytunnel A lady after my own heat ! What I actually came on to say was that I have a fig variety where I live in Bulgaria. Summeres up to 40C Winterers down to minus 20C. Absolutely wonderful tasty, figs! It gets self seeded! Grows on south exposures for fruit to ripen, obviously. But seems hardy, seems to cope with my soggy garden, although then does not produce fruit. But wonderfully structurally! If I can figure out how to do it, maybe as a Christmas decour item...lol.and I can source some cuttings... Would you like to give it a try? and give some to the lovely Bryher Farm Lady and Nials? Oh and the girlie Dantie Deasigns I think? LOL. I am crazy and not living under any bridges, thanks Bryher Farm. Just a woman who believes in bio diversity!. Bit worried about on take a plant and send it ...we all KNOW about Japanese Knotweed ,RHODODODO DO DENRHRONS> ( I come originally from Devon) Vine wevils etc. I am trying to be a bit responosible. Send some cuttiings, not SOIL, The offer is open. Love your channel.
300 sq. meters? Whoa, Nellie! I've been looking for an allotment in my new town, and the one's I've found are less than 6 sq. meters each. Thanks for the brilliant tour.
It was so lovely going on a tour of your garden with you! I am so inspired! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Your lupines are absolutely magnificent!!!! Now I want to try to grow some! I just found your channel today, and I am headed to find the video about how you do your tomato plants. I need some help, figuring out what to do with mine!
I’m amazed your last frost date is 24 April. I’m in the south and the old boys on the allotments don’t plant cucurbits and beans out until 21 May. Even then we had a really cold wind and frost that took the leaves off my first earlies. My neighbour lost all his beans. Being an old hand he’d kept half back in his greenhouse though.
I had no idea what an allotment was, but I'm sooo into it! Gonna check it out if we have any sort of this here in São Paulo, Brazil. You got a new subscriber! Great vid!
I love your channel just based on this one video! Your style is nicely relaxed and brimming with enthusiasm. I have given up with planted hosta this year and my potted one is superb and, like yours, slug bite free! Oh, those carrots! I hope mine turn out as well. Nasturtiums too are coming on but here in Scotland I think we are a month behind your balmy climes. My spuds are about your stage though. My courgettes outside are not doing too well so far using my no-dig/cardboard method so yesterday I popped a translucent pot over each one which I'll remove every couple of days to check. My onions (sets) in the same plot (videoed it) are thriving so fast! But the squirrel has taken an interest so I've had to put a fabric tunnel over again until they establish. Tomatoes (Tigrellas) plus seedlings still of Marmande and Plum (and something else I can't recall) are great and now flowering in the greenhouse. Haven't grown a sarracenia for years but my Drosera is amazing and flowering just now. You really have to keep on top of the watering with rainwater with those. I mean't to put in garlic: am I took late now? Hoping for beetroot coming through anytime now. But neither my seeds of violas or peppers have done anything at all! Nothing. I have subscribed so I can benefit from your ideas and admire your garden. Thank you. Oh, I will just mention my 3m diameter 'wildflower meadow' I also planted in my lawn (by no-dig method again) this year. Something for the bees, butterflies and hoverflies and something for the neighbours to wonder about: one friend who saw it protected by netting suspended on a circle of canes asked me if I was growing a trampoline! Lol!
Lovely video - I'm excited to see how all your squash turn out. I've just been planting out my tomatoes into their final homes - because I just moved and deliveries of compost and planters have been disrupted, some of the plants have become pretty stressed because they were in tiny pots for too long, but the ones that were planted out in time are loving the hot weather!
Lara Croft: Bloom Raider 🌱
This comment deserves so much more love! How appropriate!
Didn't think of that but yes. That is a very good analogy!
Flora croft: Bloom raider
stevenevents That’s quite smart! 😁
Oh wow that very appropriate 👏
This is a garden of eden with Katrina. Amazing break from the craziness in Cali.
Love how you always smile while talking.
nice garden.

Katrina, wow, absolutely gorge! The garden has exploded, always such a pleasure to peek through your door xx
You are a garden artist--so well designed to be aesthetically pleasing.
Wow what an incredible allotment you have. It’s magical ☺️

Lovely garden tour! I get excited too when I see the first ripe starwberry!
Thankyou for protecting the birdies from the netting❤. Had the same situation....i found it when it was gone, was heartbreaking.
Nice...refreshing! Hope my two daughters turn out like you. Keep up the good work!
A blooming fantastic plot and some great ideas. My idea of paradise.
A beautiful garden with on of the best tour hostess'.
My first rhubarb harvest will be tomorrow.
Your Squash mountain!!! I was thinking of doing exactly the same thing!!!
WOW, what a pretty girl!..the garden is just as pretty and I love that big ole pony tail.
i looked at all the flowers in your garden .but I couldn't find the most beautiful like you
Wow, you have a lot growing, this is keeping you busy for sure. Thanks for sharing your pride and joy. 👍❤️😊
'Frothy Colour' Lovely :)
Theres a multi-legged creature on the lupins. 15.03. Lovely garden. The sights and smells through seasons must be awsome.
Plot is looking amazing!! I love following along :)
Enjoy your garden tours 👍 especially on a snowy jan day. So much inspiration.. swooning over your lupines 💕
I think getting micro lilies and clearing the birdbath as well as filling it with water would add to the harmony of your house. Helping the animals will lead to good fortune.
It is a beautiful garden!
peace
I really like how your garden has combined the bountiful with the beautiful
Greetings from Philadelphia. Had TWO late frosts this year,Uhgg. Envy those strawberry patches.Really nice video,thanks
Impressed with the intro, hardly any cuts. Oh yeah, the allotment is looking good too 👍🏼
👍good job and presented wonderfully
Lovely update, lots going on. wow that's a lot of strawberry plants. I just had my first one this evening, so yummy.
You have done a lot of work and your allotment is looking great.
sweet and kind of you to add the christmas decor to protect the vulnerable wildlife.
Your natural trellising is incredible! I made my first "squash mountain" this year out of bamboo, but yours is so much nicer. They are going to be magazine worthy when they fill out!
Beautiful garden.
Living in Nottingham too, I reckon your channel is arguably the most relevant for me and my garden! I love your videos 😀
It’s magical 🌸💕🌸

Looking great well done.

Good idea to have the cages for the strawberry plants, nice 👍
Thanks so much very
In UK very nice weather bank holiday week
God bless you all
Amazing plot, hope your local group gives you an award
A lovely oasis to escape to. Great videos too, thank you.

That's interesting! I'm currently living in Utah, USA and we also experienced a warm dry spring, no rain and strong winds in may, followed by nearly freezing temperatures in early June and then back to scorching hot temperatures. BTW, I had not idea Lara Croft had a garden!
That is Bharat village hairstyle. Those three strings patterns has great meaning in vedas. God bless you.
What a happy healthy garden!

Lol, the figs tend to loose there leaves in the winter and bloom again in the spring. Lots love lady bug.
Very enjoyable 😊

I love watching your videos 💜 it’s so inspiring, so refreshing. I hope i can start a garden as well. Sending love all the way from Philippines 🇵🇭.
New to your channel and love your allotment garden. I will look at your other videos later to see more of your garden virtually
always looks Amazing!
The Garden is beautiful
I use scaffold netting on most of my garden. Nothing has ever got caught in it in 5 years of use. Easy to support and move around.
Allotment is looking beautiful
Plot is looking fantastic. Also trying to grow Lord Leicester again after an unsuccessful year last year when they wilted just before flowering. Love the optimism about a hot summer. Expect normal service (grey and rainy) to resume in July and August

Brilliant video thanks
I love your gardning nice
Wonderful video.
Loving the vids; I’ve recently dug out a wildlife pond in my garden and I can’t wait to buy some water lilies to add to it.
Highly recommend pinching cosmos x
I love your garden gate😁
WHAT is that tiny flower plant when you walked right into your garden? I LOVE that! Please let me know 🌸
You’ll be amazed how much you can divide your Hostas, we have SO MUCH from a small lil starting a few years ago.
Yours is beautiful!
Your garden is absolutely beautiful, I love the wild growing in areas, just beautiful.🌺
Do you mean the daisy flower under the rose? That’s Erigeron karavanskianus. If it’s not that you’ll have to give me a time stamp to go by 😄
homegrown.garden Yes, I’m sorry, it was right under your beautiful pink roses!
Thank you! 🌸🌺🌸
Your garden is awesome thanks for the lovely tour ❤️

Too early for garlic actually, put it in in the fall as your summer veg harvests comes to an end. It will be ready to pick next spring
