I recently watched your late March catch-up video on your allotment plot, and I must say, your dedication is truly commendable! Despite the wet weather and any lack of motivation, you're out there, preparing the beds and sowing seeds. Your plots are like works of art-each line and point representing resilience and creativity. Life may have thrown curveballs, but you're still tending to your garden, creating wonders even amidst challenges. Remember, you're not alone in this journey. Your fellow gardeners, started with limited knowledge but achieved impressive crops over time. Your allotment is more than just soil and plants; it's a sanctuary-a place where community, wildlife, and growth thrive. Keep going, Dave! You should be proud of your strength and determination. And as always, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Your videos inspire us all. Take care, and may your plots continue to flourish! Warm regards John L
Good to see you cracking on Dave. I was off work for a few days last week and was planning on getting the garden tidied up and a few things set away, but it's right what you're saying... it's just too cold and wet. All I've got done so far is some chillies and got my first batch of spuds chitting. Sure I was further on this time last year. Keep cracking on matey 😎
I planted out my onions and Charlotte potatoes this week Dave. Although it is very wet, it is not cold here in the South West. Fingers crossed for them. Keep the videos coming. All the best, Haydn
A very damp day for you. Our snow has melted now but it is still in the 40's. I am starting seeds indoors and will begin to plant outside after 21 May. I am in the Nebraska rural area. Have a good day Dave and we will look forward to the harvest. Jim
With a shed and a settee, why do you want to shack up in a tent grin. Rainy day, potting on day but I agree with you that you can't get much done ourside if its too soggy. Cheer up. There will be better days. Just keep storing water for the hotter part of the year (wishful thinking). Elaine 🌱🌱
It’s been the same east Scotland rain rain rain with the odd dry day here n there , but I have started my veg seeds off pick up soon I hope ☀️ all the best bud 🙏
To save some apples from the squirrels you can make protective bags for each fruit like they do in Japan. Get yourself some ladies’ tights or nylons. Knee highs that you can buy in larger quantity work best. Make sure they are the sheerest kind. Cut them up into about 7” or 8” lengths. If they are knee highs there’s no need to cut. Tie a knot on one end (if knee highs then no need to tie this knot), then slip the other end over a new formed apple (obviously after the fruit starts forming). Tie the open end around the stem of the apple gently so as not to crush it. You can save at least some apples this way.
Hi Dave, it’s good to see things growing, have you thought of making those raised beds and put your compost from bin and bags in, and then plant your onions and cover with netting to keep a bit warmer love watching your channel 🌻
You're right it's been so blooming wet. Cardiff (nearest city) has had almost twice its average March rainfall. My plot is way behind too. As for tenting on the plot then surely the shed would be more comfy? We're not allowed on our site after dark ho-hum 😑 Keep up with the videos Dave, we love you 😀Cheers!
