Picking Elderflower, Harvesting Container Potatoes & Edimental Borders | Dora's Allotment Vlog #10 🌸

Hello 👋🏻
Join me as I take a wander into our local woods to forage some elderflower to make cordial. I also harvest the first of this year's container potatoes, plus lots of greens, and show you around my edimental border at home.
I've also discovered a nifty trick to tie in my tomatoes which I share with you.
Big thanks for watching, liking, commenting and subscribing, see you soon! 💚

I hope you're feeling better now, Dora. Thank you for sharing how to harvest and identify elderflower. I'm a visual learner so I really appreciate it. Bruno is a darling isn't he 😍😍

Thank you Sammy 🥰 you’re so welcome, I’m pleased you found it useful! He really is a gem 🖤

Bless you Dora, that was a very relaxing video, hoping you're feeling better soon, there seems to be a lot of Covid around again at the moment. Elderflower cordial is a seasonal treat and so refreshing in this hot weather, good to add to Prosecco too, freshly harvested Charlotte potatoes too such a treat and always exciting to reveal your first crop ! The warm evening light on the stone walls of your house is beautiful !

I’m ever so pleased you found the video relaxing and thank you for the well wishes! You’re so right 🥂 I wonder if the house is as pleased for the glowing sun as we all are haha 🌞🌞

Hope you are feeling better today Dora and thanks for the lovely wood / garden tour with Bruno . Will be pinching the elastic band idea to support my tomatoes 🍅

🤞 & 🙏 that you don't take too long to recover
... and hope you are taking enough Vitamins D3, K & C to help keep your immune system in top form !
It was lovely to see the views of the countryside around where you live ... the UK has some really stunning views doesn't it 🥰
... and I'm looking forward to finding out if your "hiding" of those veg in amongst your flowers will help to hide them from all of the pesrs that are around.

[@doras.allotment]

Thank you so much David! The veggies are definitely helping, my taste has improved dramatically after a dinner of all of the greens I picked - incredible!
I'm pleased you enjoyed seeing some of the countryside and I'll keep you updated with the 'disguised' veg🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Looks like allium sphaerocephalon but not certain ,they flower late . Get well soon Dora .

[@doras.allotment]

Thank you George! I do have allium sphaerocephalon in another border and they look more like lollipops at the moment but these are tall mysterious spikes 😅 have a lovely weekend!
