Thank you Cheryl ❤️ I'm really pleased with how the flowers on plot 2 turned out. Looking forward to the challenge of moving the flower bed for next year. My flower bed may be a potato bed next year! Thanks Doug for not mentioning it would be better suited in the middle of the plot. He was adamant that was for his potatoes this year 🙄😂😂😂 x
Hi Linda, lovely job barking your paths, it looks lovely. Lots of planting and tyding done too. Thankfully it wasn't blight, your tomatoes are lovely. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
@@christinebrooks6364 Thank you Christine ❤ Phew that was close wasn't it. It looked as if it might have been blight and last year was an absolutely disaster with our tomatoes. We went on holiday and when we came back the whole of the tomatoes in the polytunnel were destroyed with blight. Before we went away they looked so healthy. Mind you last year we kept the polytunnel door closed only opening it when we were about. This year we are keeping front and back doors open. I was so happy to read all the wonderful messages saying that it wasn't blight. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed this year 🤞 It's so nice harvesting ripe tomatoes and seeing the others still looking healthy. I can't tell you how great I feel about that. Only another gardener would understand that 😂
@@Feelgoodgardens that is definitely a good idea leaving doors open. I have a polytunnel and have half of one door with mesh which let's air in and my other door glides,so, I can leave slightly open as.we have foxes so, dont want them getting in. 🙂
Hi Linda. This year's carrots have been my first success. I sowed the seeds in egg boxes, after cutting holes in the bottom. I saw the idea on Naturally JB and thought I'd have a go. They turned out really well and I got big carrots. Another excellent video, thank you. 🌺
@@rebabs Hi Barbara 👋 and thank you ❤️ That's fab news about your carrots. Doug mentioned about sowing the seeds in egg boxes too so I might try that next time, thanks. Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️
@@vicdishiker Awww thank you so much Vicki ❤️ I'm really pleased with the statice flowers this year. I grew the purple variety years ago and just happened to notice a packet of mixed seeds in the shop. I'll certainly be growing them again 👍😊 Happy gardening week 🌻🌹❤️
Lovely update, thankyou for my saved flower seeds, one day I'll have lovely flowers on my plot just like yours x p.s you can never have to many sprouts 😂
It looks beautiful on Cheryl’s plot my teddy bear sunflowers still haven’t bloomed it they should soon. I put in lots of bush beans too and I’m hoping to get some for late fall. It was nice to see all the updates Linda have an amazing week, Ali ☔️🌞🇨🇦
Thanks Ali ❤ I'm always admiring Cheryl's plot, I forget to look at the mountains these days as I'm too busy looking at Cheryl and Dale's plot when we're having a cuppa 😊 Fingers crossed that we'll both have a nice crop of dwarf/Bush beans in the autumn/fall. Have a fabulous time in the garden this week Ali 🌻🌹🌼🥂🌽💐🏴
@@cherylprice1790 Awww I love frogs especially little ones ❤ Was he about 2 inches long? The one in our pond is that big but I know they are only about half an inch or so when they first become frogs 🐸 😍 You need a pond on your plot now Cheryl 👍😊 xx
Love the idea of the herb bed to match your strawberry bed it looks lovely, Don't think your sweetcorn matters being mixed it only matters if you're saving seed as they'll cross pollinate, I always do 2 varieties makes no odds to the corn , Those tomatoes in the tunnel are looking great Linda need to try those Barry's crazy cherry next year they look amazing 😊 👍
@@elizabethjames1053 Hi Elizabeth 👋 Lovely feedback thank you. ❤️ I can't wait to try Barry's Crazy Cherry when they ripen. That branch is really heavy with tomatoes It would be great if they ripen soon. Looking forward to trying the coloured sweetcorn. Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️
You are doing a great job in your garden. New friend here. Showing you support. The path ways look terrible. I love collecting flowers to. Enjoy your time in the garden 😊
@@reneesellers9708 Hi Renee and thank you ❤️ Do you not like bark/wood chip pathways? I love them as they keep your shoes clean especially after it's been raining. We are lucky to have it delivered free here. 👍😀 I love growing flowers they give so much pleasure don't they. 😍 Happy gardening 🌻🌹
I planted two varieties of corn together too. We shall have to compare notes on whether they’re edible or not 😅😅 You are so busy on the plots but all the effort you are putting in is being rewarded. both plots look fabulous. A real credit to all the work you’re both putting in ❤
Thanks Clare ❤️ Yes we can compare notes on the sweetcorn, that's if I can get to it before the rats 👍😂 Just come back off holiday so fingers crossed the plots are ok. I've heard it's rained a lot so hopefully the outside crops will be ok. Your sunflowers look fabulous and you're the only one so far to measure. I'm looking forward to receiving some photos. Any chance of a photo of you by your sunflower and I'll put it in my video and mention your channel? Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️ x
We are all planting brassicas here in New Zealand is for late spring and summer, first lot re out, 2 and 3 are growing on in the tunnel housr last lot have been sown.
You do have 2 beautiful plots linda. A credit to you ans doug. Some of my sunflowers didn't come to anything and others did. Weird. Great update. Danny 🌱
Thanks Danny ❤️ The sunflowers you do have, look gorgeous 🌻🌻🌻 Did you wonder when the other bird was going to make an appearance? 😂 It's a wonder what you'll find during a tidy up in the shed 😂 Have a great week 🌻❤️
I love your flower garden, Linda- beautiful sunflowers and the statice is so pretty. I have 4 beds dedicated to flowers on my plot. They really cheer the place up, don't they! I dead-headed my calendula today- I am hoping for some more blooms- fingers crossed. A herb bed sounds fabulous. I am trying to build a herb bed in my garden. I am going to make a small bed with pots for some different types of mint. Love the idea of orange mint and pineapple mint. I have chocolate mint which smells divine. I also have lemon balm, lemon verbena, french tarragon, thyme , chives and sage. Also have some garlic chive seedlings I grew. I think they say not to grow different varieties of corn together to avoid cross pollination and the kernels not growing properly, but I'm not sure if that's so as different opinions from various people. I guess the only way to find out is to grow it and see. After all we could all be growing a different variety to our plot neighbours so cross pollination is hard to void I would think. Thank you for sharing your lovely plot. You work so hard. Happy gardening 🙂 P.S. make sure you keep your carrots moist so they grow consistently
@@bewoodford2807 Hi Be 👋 What fabulous feedback, really enjoyed reading what you've been up to. 4 flower beds sound really lovely. You have a fab variety of herbs and your mint collection sounds great especially the chocolate mint! We do have lemon verbena but it wasn't the lemon verbena that I was cutting back 😂 I was keeping the carrots moist in fact they looked so lush and green before they bolted that I wondered if I was over watering them. Looking forward to trying the colour sweetcorn. Thanks for your advice. Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️
Hello Linda,your tomatoes look fantastic,once they start turning red you'll have so many tomatoes you'll not knoe what to do with them all.lm sick of the sight of mine already 😊 lm starting to look like one lol.Ask Doug to tell me how to make stuffing,l would love to make some for Christmas.Your allotments looking fabulous ❤
Hi Joyce 👋 and thank you ❤️ I actually bought tomatoes 🍅 on Friday as we weren't picking enough ripe ones😊😂 For stuffing Doug says about 4 sprigs of sage, chopped up to make about a heaped tablespoon. Add to this one medium onion finely chopped, 4 slices of white bread grated, a knob of softened butter, one egg yolk, half to one teaspoon of salt. Mix together, (Doug uses his hands for this) This should be enough for 4 balls if you're doing it separately or more than enough to stuff a chicken. Hope that is easy enough for you to follow Joyce 🌻
Wish I could be of more help on the rust, but I never conquer it. I always battled it on hollyhocks and just gave up growing them. Limited success controlling with neem. I think I'd do a bit of research as I don't think you can eat beans infected by rust, which is a bummer. I did a little sunflower update on this week's video. I've got one that might be in the running🌻❤ My calendula are looking very tatty at the moment. I need to do a trim them too. My Atomic Fusion are still not ripe and I seem to be well ahead of you. They are beautiful and if they taste like Brad's Atomic Grape I will be so happy.🥰 Try the carrots a little different cycle like planting your seed late July for a fall harvest. They often bolt going from super chilly to hot. Also try an F1 like Bolero, as the heirlooms are more prone to bolting in my garden anyway. Fabulous update and the gardens are looking amazing. You have a way with flowers.
Awww that's fabulous feedback, thank you so much Robin ❤ I haven't had chance to watch your video yet Robin but I certainly will do 👍 Can't wait to see how your sunflower is growing. Can you send me a photo of you next to it with how tall it is as it would be great to mention you in my next video. I can also post it on my website. I've dedicated a page but no one has sent any pics yet. Send photo to Linda@feelgoodgarden.co.uk thanks 😘 I'm hoping the Atomic Fusion is as nice as Brad's Atomic. They were one of my favourites last year. Mine aren't ripe yet either, I don't think we've had enough sunshine yet. 🙄😂 Great advice for the carrots 🥕 thank you x
guess what i bloody did , i chopped my sunflower down my huge head because i wanted to save seed , well i think icut it too early , theres seeds but not quite mature enough i doubt , but the petals where yummy as chips with kale!! xx your plot is looking lovely cant wait for more winter sowing x
@@__Shellspace__Thanks Shell ❤️ Did you take a photo first? 🤔 Never mind at least you enjoyed the petals and hopefully have some sunflower 🌻 seeds too. Even if they're not ripe enough yet to save I'm sure the birds will still love them 👍😊 I've not tried sunflower petals, didn't realise you could eat them so thanks for that. 👍🌻 Have a great week ❤️
@@Feelgoodgardens i did indeed it was glorious , nieghbours were mortified i cut it down lol more then me haha i got hundreds of seeds from it so im drying them carefully and fingers crossed x
@@Feelgoodgardens mine where edible sunflowers , so just double check your variey before munching away , but they where so sweet the petals and crispy x
Sounds like we'll have an interesting crop Helen 😂 I understand now why they should be kept separate. I hadn't thought of that 🙈 I'll remember for next time though. 👍thank you 😊 ❤
I planted corn close to the next door farmer’s one year. I was so excited to eat it but when I did, it was so starchy, and it had just been picked. I never grew it again after that disappointment. Hopefully, yours will not be like mine.
Hi Karen 👋 Awww there's a shame, fingers crossed mine will be ok. I hadn't thought about the cross pollination issue when I planted them. I'll be more mindful next time 👍 Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️
