June plot tour of both allotment plots 

Please... Don't change the way you do your videos. Love your method and style. It feels like I'm on your plot walking around with you, like I'm visiting. And I can think alongside you. Thank you 😊

Having the new plot next door is a no brainer and it makes perfect sense. Well done Danny keep grafting.

I love that you've taken on this new plot. Honestly, there's nothing I love more than to see some weed infested piece of land flourish and transform and become gorgeous with flowers, fruit and veggies. Here in Canada we have a rather short growing season (my rather small garden was a disaster this year), so I'll live vicariously through you and your adventures.

I come to you for not the plot tour, love looking in background to see what's changed

How do you not have 100,000 subscribers? You are so enjoyable and likable.

Haha you anticipated we’d agree you went into the old shed. Everything is growing beautifully isn’t it. Fig and olive is flourishing and the new Danny’s garden is coming on in leaps and bounds. Meanwhile here in Oz I’ve got the fire roaring 😊

Hi Danny, I do think this season has been difficult for all us growers. I have put in Basil plants amongst my tomatoes in the polytunnel, all munched, yet the bed next door, to it are flourishing 🙄 my outdoor sunflowers have been munched another sowing half munched & the others are not looking good. Sweetpeas, all munched, second sowing one has survived, just crazy! Never had such an issue. Your new plot is looking organised. Potatoes are looking very good, my shed was the same when I took on my plot, massive job as it was covered with Ivy, what a nightmare but, we got it done & now have a new shed. Lots of jobs to do on your new plot. I don't think you need to do a monthly plot tour, just carry on with what you do, it's perfect. Plot tour can be done as and when you feel it's necessary 😊 Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

I love your new plot and the shed looks like it was once something to be proud of. A lot of effort went into it and it would be nice to use some of it.

Love the idea of a potting shed! I think they are so great! So glad you kept the greenhouse. Looking forward to see your fruit area! A lot to do but it is a fantastic new plot! You were so right to get it! 😘🌸💕

The filing cabinet would be perfect for growing carrots on top of the IBC tank and give it a lick of paint and put some roofing fabric inside it and job done.

Oh wow the flowers are all looking amazing. Ours seems so behind but hopefully they will catch up soon as it warms up and stops raining 🌧️. Yes thank goodness for spares 😂. Great update Benny have a marvellous week, Jackie 🌧️🌧️🇨🇦

You are amazing Danny and I adore your channel!! I loved the tour of the new plot and to hear your ideas on what’s going to happen! Can’t wait to watch the new plot transform. Ignore the silly folks!

Encore une belle vidéo 😊 A bientôt

FYI - The direction things rotate is a result of the Coriolis force/effect. However, it only works on very large objects like hurricanes and cyclones. Despite what many repeat, it does not work on beans or toilet water. That's a myth. BTW - I agree that you've made the best decision regarding your plots. And, yes, you did explain it properly on your previous video. Looking forward to seeing your progress. All the best.

The new plot will be looking awesome in no time matey. Shed down new shed and leept the windows and the arch. Great video.

Cheers Danny. Definitely good to have the occasional plot tour, good to get an overview of how things are going but you do you 😆🙂🌱

Allotment looking good

You can put oregano in green lentil spaghetti 🍝 bolognaise. Thanks for another interesting video Danny. 🪴 🌱 🌿 🌾 🌽 😊

I love how you have taken on the new plot. It makes sense what and why you are doing it. Don’t doubt yourself, you are making the best decisions. Watching from North Carolina!😊

Dany,as much as you had your rib issue,with a little help of friends,havent you dont a super job. Place is looking superb.i think its a way better plan having the plot across from you,makes perfect sense. The chickens will enjoy you being closer ,all the time you are up at the plot. Youve done a great idea. That water feature worked out a trat,love it. Danny put some cut onions in the tunnel,slugs dint lie them. Thanks for a great tour.

Of course we all thought you should go in the shed! As if you needed to ask 😂 You have so much to do for that area but it sounds like a project you’re going to enjoy getting your teeth in to. Everyone loves a project! Great to see so much in the ground already on the new plot. It’s going to look so good. I think the move was definitely a no brainer. 100% the right thing to do. Thanks for the mention. Hope the hollyhocks do well for you. Planted mine out this last week. I enjoyed the plot tour and plans for the plots. It’s nice to see where everything is and how things are doing. 😊

Love both of your plots. Looks amazing ❤

Loved the plot tour, I’m amazed how much you’ve got done on the new plot already, it looks like you’ve had it for ages. Glad you’re taking that shed down, I think it’s only being held up by the brambles and bindweed 😂 Look forward to see what you replace it with.

You crack me up with the adventure into the shed! I love how you explore and add projects. Excited to see evolution

I've been away for a while, and my goodness, you have been busy ! Everything looks lovely. I was rather confused re. Plots. Can't believe you got another one.

First of all, I understood your plans perfectly, you explained it just right. Weird people didn't. Also, I was glad to see you go in the shed, that's the first thing I would have done. Hahah. Your plants are so healthy, everything is looking so good.

It's going to look great Danny, so much potential and so many decisions 😂 Your new beds look lovely, those swedes are so big compared to mine 😂 Take care

Hi Danny, Just catching up with you now! 🤦‍♀️Who wouldn't want two plots side by side...perfect for you. So looking forward to seeing the plots gradually blend into one. Have a fabulous weekend Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱

Hi Danny ☺. Nothing to do with gardening, but I do like the more natural distingu distinguished looking beard! Beats the Disney pirate one lol 😆. Sending love, light and new plot blessings ☘🌿🌱🍃 xx

New plot is looking fab, like a grand old adventure. Makes perfect sense having it nearby, and I never had any bother distinguishing between the two plots by name, and thought what you had been describing in the previous episode was perfectly clear. Totally agree with you about the spares. I’m learning that lesson too. I’ve had *dreadful* problems with compost this year, so I’ve been splitting my 🍅 between four brands, only to discover they only like one of them 😱 Once I get the rest out of all the crappy stuff they start to improve after a week or two though 😮‍💨 But I was running short there for a while, and have re-sown more bush cherry types as 3/4 of mine still look a bit rubbish and stunted. Knowing I was having compost troubles I sowed two trays of 🌽 (one compost brand did a fair bit better than the other here too), and when it came time to plant them out I ended up with four spare plants. Well, let’s just say I had to use three of them as emergency replacements when the originals failed to take to their new spot. I just planted the fourth out yesterday, thinking that it didn’t look like I needed it any longer. Spares. Yeah. But I can’t just chuck them away, I have to find them a spot. However, that tray of spare 🍅 I’ve got growing on, I have no idea where to put them! A problem for another day, and that day is not this day… 😊

Cracking on nicely Danny! I was waiting for the shed to collapse around you in an ode to Buster Keaton! 😂

I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to say that I enjoy what you are doing. Your plots are so lovely and I wish you all the best on the new plot.

Hi Danny, what a fantastic video, how, do you not just stare at that fantastic view of those mountains, stunning. 😊 Livingston Daisys, what a blast from the past, as a child they were my favourite 😍 ❤️

Great update once again Danny, I'm shattered just watching lol , seriously think you have some serious projects to work going forward and I am looking forward to seeing your progress 👍

Regarding beans and the way they turn around the pole - I believe it is to do with planetary magnetic pull

I absolutely love your style of filming and videos. But I won't lie, I allllways love an allotment tour. So don't change your videos but maybe once every few months you could add a tour style video or part of a video? I bet those videos would do well!

Plot tours...Yes please..

Hey Danny. Another great video. I love your enthusiasm for the new plot. Please don't overdo it though. You have a lot going on jn your life atm. Take care. Haydn

Brilliant progress Danny. The new plot is really taking shape. Wish I had done some swede but forgot and don’t really have space now. Ho hum. Take care. Mags

Exciting! Wow you have some energy! What about building a nice deck for your new shed you're building? The bifold doors can open on to it. You can sit out there with a cuppa or a glass of something cold and admire your hard work. Also another place for a few pots!! 😂❤

The plot looks mighty fine Danny and all those flowers will help attract polinators. My parsnips failed and I used 3 packets of seeds And only got 4 parsnips. The new plot could be called Danny's Digs 😁 or the Mountain view garden.

Google says catch mare's tail before it releases spores, remove top growth diligently but it will take years and otherwise it appears that herbicide is the method (which you may not want to do if you are only organic). Great progress on your new plot!

Was thinking you would be lost forever in that tiny shed!! It just holding on by tetanus rusty nails and bindweed 🤣 But like the idea of the opening doors and a sofa in the shed 🐝thanks for the great video🌻

Great video Danny. I'm all for the windows potting shed as you know 🎉 out could use the green metal bench supports for the new plot.

You do what's best for you.

Glad you went in the shed I was dying to see what was inside there 😂. The new potting shed is going to look fantastic. Your plots always look beautiful.

You cant beat taking on more work LOL i do it all the time, give up a nice plot an take on a shambles just for the challenge. All looking great Mate and the views and subs are amazing mate Alan

Brilliant Danny Keep Doing What you Are doing

Glad you survived the trip into the shed eek 😲You are braver than I would be. We have a metal shed and it is nicknamed the spider shed - too many false widows in there. I go in with gloves on or send hubby 🤭 Gosh I love how it both plots are coming along. If you don't get a chance to clear that bramble patch completely this season, think of all the lovely bramble jam and crumbles later in the summer. Free fruit cage haha! I think you show us around on every videos. I feel I know it so well from all your hard work you do taking us along.

Looking fab Danny. Loving the idea for the new shed. Just remember it all takes time. Just a small observation with your pond , the cables that go from your header tank really shout out in the black ness of the liner and water. How about putting a split black pipe over the top of them to disguise them more. Just a thought. Keep doing what you’re doing. Do love a plot tour But remember theres only a set numbers of hours in a day, week etc.

Loved the plot tour Danny, we love seeing your plans come to life. I’ve got to say I held my breath when you went into the old shed lol, in Queensland you could be surprised by red back spiders and brown snakes (deadly). Loving all the plans Danny, exciting times ahead ♥️

I always enjoy your plot tours danny, love to see how everything is coming on... plus I can gage weather my veg is doing well or not lol.... got all my tomato's planted over the last two weeks YAY. Both of the plots are looking great danny. I'm looking forward to your potting shed project as I also want to build one so I can free up some space in the greenhouse new year. I will have to do a video tour soon as my garden has changed so much since the beginning of the year I have been so busy on my tropical style kitchen garden. Dig.Plant.Repeat. Take care for now

Love the plot tour, we would enjoy a monthly tour! You've done loads to the new plot, well done 👏🏻 PS thanks for the shout out, you're courgette is bigger than ours 😅

Lovely Italian dish to try is courgettes and pancetta (fry with olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano) cook spaghetti place together finish with butter and Parmesan (a recipe from my Italian chef dad) simple but lovely

Your plot is looking beautiful and the thing about you, you sit back and plan out your plot which is great love it 💕🌷yes you could give a plot tour once a month 👍

You are making brilliant progress on the new plot and I fully understand why you have taken it on, it makes so much sense. As for the shed I was screaming at you, "Don't go in there the shed monster will get you" 😂😂👹. It does look like a brilliant project though, especially after seeing what Jane did to her she'd. I look forward to seeing how things progress on the new plot.

A monthly plot tour would be great and i can't wait to see the new plot taking shape xx

Is there anyway you could do a map of your new plots? 👣 loved watching this Danny, exciting times ahead, can't wait to see what you do with your new space ❤

Wow this is so exciting 🎉🙌🥰💕

I love your videos, they’re always interesting and I enjoy seeing what you’re doing.

I need to move to wales lol you have green fingers 😍slugs and snails eating everything despite everything I do and I’m doing everything !!! Mind you parsnips looking good !

All looking gd danny 👍☀️

Hey Danny, another great vlog. Re your new bed (to replace the raspberries) what about some perennial veg? Definitely a thing that's finding its time! Love a bit of permaculture!

As usual, you surprise all of us with how you soldier on and get things done. Thanks for giving us a peep into your adventurous, plant loving soul! I bet there are times when you get gardening ideas when you lay your head down to sleep, making it hard to get your zzzzz's. Take care Danny!

Danny the plot is looking amazing, beautiful mate, I'll have any spare brassica you have if it's not pidgeons eating them it's slugs grrrrrr

Heey Much love from the Nederlands xxx

That shed is scary! Do you have snakes and poison ivy in Wales? We have 3 kinds of poisonous snakes, and that shed looks like a perfect haven for them. EEK! Those brambles are going to be a big chore to clear out. Your plots are looking great.

Oh that shed - looking forward to seeing the transformation and what lies beneath the brambles!

That old shed 💚 We have a similar climate and a potting shed that opens up for winter work sounds lovely. 🌧️🌱

Really enjoyed the video 😊

YES!!! I was all bummed out because it started being a rainy dreary day and now I have your video to look forward to.

I took over a plot many years ago riddled with mare's tail. I weed wanded it religiously every week, whilst it was actively growing, as the flame can get through the silicone coating. During winter, when the beds were empty, I covered them with manure (apart from the root beds) and then covered them in black plastic, to exclude light and weaken the roots. The mare's tail gave up the ghost eventually and I haven't seen any for years.

Danny ,your video's are brilliant ,whatever you do

Hi Danny everything is looking good ,taking on a plot nearer makes sense to me. After taking on another plot recently I really didn’t think through how exhausting it is moving compost, tools etc if it’s not close to your old one. I’ll look forward to watching the changes , it’s always a joy watching what you are doing thank you Danny, Tracy 😊

I love a plot tour and a nosey around someone's garden as most of my inspiration comes from a look around. I love the new plot and that shed has some great features but it does not look safe at all. The new potting shed will look great with the bifold doors and if you are patient enough you will get the bits for free on marketplace. Fab video Danny and keep up the hard work

You could take bits if that old shed and make signs or something just to have a piece of the history of the plots. Otherwise, remove it, it's too far gone. I'm curious, why the narrow beds? They could be twice as wide and you get more area for plants. The raised metal beds I've seen people put chunks of wood and old soil in the bottom, which is one way of keeping soil moisture, plus the soils have more fungi for good plants health. Onward.

Occasional full tours are great. You made me nervous stepping in that shed!

All looking great Danny ❤ Love the ordinary and the extraordinary plants. Herb bed coming along nicely. King Tut peas, that's an interesting story. Greenhouse will be useful for you and extra garden centre growing space 👍😄 That's so brave going in the shed. I love it, it has character, be great if you can patch it up and save it. Thanks for the shout out, be great more viewers joining in with the sunflower 🌻 challenge. Yours coming along and going to look beautiful 😍

Looking good love the water feature cant wait to see progress video of your new plot

Great tour Danny! Isn't lovely to be eating sugar snap peas again! I have been thinning out the baby carrots to let the others grow but we got some that was 7inchs/18cm long already! Not bad for a plastic b&q cold frame that is only filled about 10 inches deep! Your F&O plot is looking great Danny. All in good time though, as they say. We have 3 yellow and 2 black beauty this year as that is all that survived to planting out. They are doing well. First time for yellow courgettes but i noticed they have slightly bigger leaves. So far so good and have both male and female flowers at the same time. They seem to be fairing better in the sandpit bed already doing better in than in the containers that i use to use. Last two years in containers didn't do so well, so very pleased to see an improvement! I'm sure that greenhouse will scrub up well. You should ask JB about where he got his glass from! :o) Certainly some treasures with the window frames, archway and maybe some beams? Maybe, you could also save some wood panels to make another plot sign? How about calling it the rustic garden, in honour of the metal composter, filing cabinet and shed? Also means that you are not tied down to what you do or grow in it? I would line that filing cabinet with some empty compost bags or something to stop the rust getting into the soil. Hope you got your tetanus up to date!? I like how it says A1 on the shed wall as you came out! lol Erm... haha We have meres/ horse tail on the veggie side of our garden. I think, it is just time. It has got less of an issue. If i can, i dig down about a foot until it meets the main vine to get it all. They are like little Grinch Christmas trees (Not from Plot 9!) lol Apparently you can make drinking tea from them? They are a mere for sure and just had our first one in the new sandpit bed after we lifted the weed membrane. Definitely less than when we moved here and the area was bare and just weed membrane and shingles. We had bindweed and ivy on the other side coming through the neighbours fence. We pretty much gotten rid of the ivy and again just have the odd little bindweed spears popping up now and then. They trail high in the soil, so are easier to dig out. It's so nice when you trail it back and find a big bindweed root though! Thanks for showing us the loos! lol (and no i am not taking the pee! lol). Cool you have communal wheelbarrows too. I bet that is handy for compost or wood chip deliveries. I bet it felt great for the help sorting the new plot out. Not just for the help but it must help you in terms of motivation in tackling a new plot that you aren't on your own as that can be quite daunting. Those red flowers on the water butt look really nice there. I wonder if you can get gutter baskets that can go around pipes or bend/ make a wire mesh to go around it. Even a hanging basket on the corner with some red fuchsias would bring some colour to the water feature? Great tip re the tulips. We really need to renew our bulbs and was hoping my sister, who lives in the Netherlands could send me a post card with some in spring ;) but they normally only come in stock in autumn. I usually just put our pots in the shade after they are done tbh. They done you well though and great use of a small bed in spring. I like plot tours. It think for the F&O it can be seasonally this year and maybe a monthly one on the new plot? You'll get to look back on the progress you have made on the new plot, plus the more established plot, which has fewer structural updates, so more focused on plant growth in the normal videos, if that makes sense? I think for you, it is more about how much time you have to take to do one, edit and publish. You do you. It's all good. Just make sure to pace yourself and enjoy what you are doing first, i.e. gardening, growing, and DIY. Then think about YT. I still get emails from FB, from when i used to use it. I like the memories part of it and seeing the pictures of the house and garden renovations. I do miss those updates. I still take pictures and videos for the grandparents and my sister but it isn't the same. Was hoping to jet hose the patio and front drive/ car this school holidays but got quite busy. Kinda proud of the summer haircuts. School photos next week! We also have rat tunnels i think in the sprout beds to deal with! Anyway, take care Danny and take it easy! Long season ahead and still healing! It's a journey not a race!

Hey Danny, I can't understand why folks think they have a stake in everything anyone does. They can get mean and demanding and it makes no sense to me. Farmers make so many decisions mostly financial which impacts the viability of a farm. Folks with no stake will line up to express displeasure at will. I am a positive person and refuse to take part in negativity or drama. I will and do walk away. I do appreciate constructive criticism but so much is negative and hurtful meant to lift the speaker and to push the subject person down. Nice plot tour thank you for the video today take care be safe, Steven

I just gave all my extra flats to a community garden. Good point to hold some back, but I plant two large gardens and I couldn’t hold that many back as they needed to get planted or wasted as I have no more room, nor do I need more. Next year I will cut back a bit as last year was a test of tomatoes and this year peppers and more tomatoes. I need to gauge how much we need for preserving also. Interesting fact about climbing bean direction. I don’t recall growing turnips and I don’t see many that popped up. We had 5” of rain last week and it was dry yesterday so I was pumping out collection tanks and it rained today 😅. The peppers were already looking like green and some fish emulsion is in order, but now they are soaked again 🙄. At least we are out of the severe drought we’ve been in. And yes, the heat is on and it’s jungle time. Everything looks great at Fig & Olive Jr.😅. The shed is shot-maybe if that area has great views a sitting area of some kind. I use a paint on brush killer for bindweed, black walnut and buckthorn. I garden organically best I can and don’t want to spend time constantly taking out the same invasives-once and done.

Danny the plots look great. Everything is starting to grow at last. Yellow courgettes I definitely agree. You said don’t let me plant more courgettes. Don’t do it Danny 😂😂😂

Danny work your magic xx have fa food Sunday xx🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾

Danny, absolutely love all your videos. I'm quite a newbie and its always good to listen to your tips and what you are up to you. I'm thinking about investing in some of the corrugated raised beds that you use, what are te benefits and do they help with this years ongoing battle against slugs eating everything 😮 Thanks and keep up the good work 👏

How about, "Fig Plot" and "Olive Plot"? You could tell some people that black is black, but they still won't listen or believe you LOL Good tour - do more!

Love honest videos, gives us a much better understanding. Same problem here Danny win some lose some but bigger lose than win. First Autumn / winter trying to grow and in my new raised garden beds as had been over your way bar covid years since 2013 to miss winter. So a bit of a learning curve. I get great germination of seeds, but then they stop developing when planted out yes harden off. So today decided i may give winter a miss next year. I still have seedlings but i think too late now to plant out. (All cabbage caulis). So ive come back in and watching you with a cuppa. I didnt know the beans liked going the other way…..maybe thats why mine hate me! I filled my beds with vegie mix from supplier, hasnt sunk like my layering did years ago. Oh oh i see a TV coming next. Those beams looked ok you could use them. At least no red belly black hiding there!

Incredible plot and video! 😊 How do you manage slugs in your polytunnel? Do you do anything to control their numbers or do you live with the occasional damage?

Hi Danny! I was saying (out loud) “oh please don’t go in there”!!. I was seeing daddy long legs and snakes😬! I was so happy when you got the heck outta there😀! Peace-

Maybe you could draw a simple diagram on paper (and show it in a video) to explain where the two plots are located in relation to each other. Love your videos, but when you move around the spaces it gets confusing. Thanks!

I like plot tours but I find that on bigger plots I loose perspective. I know it would be mega hard work but I would love to see a type of Marauders map (Harry Potter fans will know) to show where you are in your plot during the tour.

best way to deal with Mares tail and bindweed .... Napalm or Agent Orange 🤣... If you do put a tin roof on your new shed then put it over a wooden roof ... My old shed I inherited was a wrinkly tin on and ith used to get condensation on the inside that always dripped down your neck😑

Прекрасный Божий день. Приветствую всех тружеников земли

Hi i wondered if on your new plot in front of the shed temporarily you could clear it and use it as a seating area. You have lots of allotment friends to share the space with, and is a nice place to view the fig and olive plot from. One other different question is do you top your cucumbers or just leave them, thanks.

Future career as a garden designer, Pet 🌱🌱🌱💚💚💚

Love the shed! 😂😂😂😂 need a hard hat 🥴

Yes

❤❤❤. 😊

What tubing do you use for your netted beds? They look much nice than the blue water pipes that most people use!

PASTURES NEW NEW PASTURES ? LOL OR THE WANDERA PLOT HEHE XX
