Garden destruction and progress | Allotment | No Dig gardening

Ойын-сауық

In todays episode I show you how to plant potatoes in buckets. Using a no-dig method.
Gemma from @GemInTheGarden visited. I cooked Jamaican pork and Rice for us all. we also visited Linda from @Feelgoodgardens . Had a coffee and cake. Then we sank some homemade allotment wine.
The next day the plot was vandalised...plants had to be replaced at the local garden centre.
I also potted on the brassicas.. Black tuscan kale, swede and romanesco cauliflower... to name but a few.
I bought some petunias from the garden centre for ganging baskets and the plot planters.
I mulched the no dig metal raised beds with some well rotted bagged manure ensure they have a good feed and keeps the tubers covered.
I also show you my new gadget! A Bluetooth printer from PRT. it's marvellous for printing little labels for your plants.
here is the product & discount code!

I also show you the pumpkin and squash updates and also how the swift corn is.
I also discuss Malvern spring show and also how I'm featuring in the Kitchen Garden Magazine - May 2024. Grab yourself a copy!

    Oh Danny, I know so well the devastation that chooks can bring to the garden 🙄 I spend my life chicken proofing my beds as I want to have them free ranging while I’m out. I remember a couple of years ago, Edith jumped into my elephant garlic bed and scythed the tops off every one - 🥴🥺. I love love love Hostas. That’s another battle, keeping slugs off. All the best.

I was often crying laughing.😂😂 Such a shame about those chickens playing havoc at your plot. Plants are so expensive to buy to replace how far you grew them. The reason we grow them from seed but can be difficult to catch up growing from seed now. 😮 Never mind Danny.

    Oh Man! Chickens are like rototillers! I’d freak out if our hens got anywhere near the garden 😅. They can really tear it up!😂 Well, we are all getting a Super Early start here in Wisconsin, US. I’m sure we are not done with frost/freezes yet and I’m ready with frost clothes. With a bit of luck we hope we are permanently in growing season as our temps can turn in a second. I’m trying to grow Napa cabbage and pak Choi earlier than ever. We are Finally in a rain pattern and moved out of severe drought to abnormally dry🎉💃🎉👏🏼👏🏼. Trying sweet peas also this year as I keep seeing others growing them. They popped up the same time edible peas popped. The rain isn’t as heavy as was forecasted and we will take evert drop. Although it’s dampened my outside chores today, I’m thrilled it’s raining as I chased around yesterday to get beets, brassicas and onions in. After securing CHICKEN WIRE 😂 around the bottom of wire fencing to keep bunnies out I ran out of time to get carrots in. Last year the bunnies (5) ate all the lettuce and peas before I figured it out. If you think there is one rabbit there are several more. We purposely started potatoes later because the frost last may killed them back Bad. Plus I want late harvest. Thanks for reminding me about getting a label maker!! I found writing out the info for tags this year was a PITA.😊 When you said, “Where will they all go?” I laughed! Is your garden much larger in your head like mine is? Those yellow/orange tulips are such a ray of happiness! Just love spring bulbs and plan to put hoards more in this fall. The hyacinths smelled just lovely and the grape hyacinth look better with each day as they open. I so wish we had expanded and replaced the polycarbonate panels last year on GH as it’s so full I can only stand in one spot. I need a bio dome😂.

    Hi Danny, don't forget to save some seed from your red little gem lettuce! at that price you need to get enough for a few years to come lol. Chickens just have no manners do they? coming onto your plot uninvited and enjoying a meal at your expense, flocking rude or what? I'm glad you were able to chalk it up to experience and move on. Your plot is looking so full and lush. Have a great week ahead xx

    Hi Danny. Dobies sell the seed for red little gem lettuce. They are also known as Amaze. I grow them every year- fabulous lettuce. I have to sow my pumpkins this week. My sunflowers are doing fabulously. I am very pleased with them. I also have sown Grenadine red, Mint Crisp, Speckled oak, green butteroak, green Little gem and Grenoble red. I'm really pleased with my peanut plants. ( seed kindly sent by Nanou, plot 9). My greenhouse is full to bursting with tomato, aubergine, and sweet pepper plants, lots of flower seedlings and melon and cucumber. I plan to sow my squashes and courgettes and beans this week. So much o do, - I need more hours in the day, lol! 🤣I have 2 buckets each of Vivaldi, Anya and Charlotte potatoes. I also have them planted in the ground. Your tulips and Narcissi are looking fantastic. Sadly I have a thief- not many tulips- the culprit? Sammy Squirrel! I will have to mesh them nest year! I have a brother labelling machine- had it for years. I bought it originally for my crafting but now i use it for multi purposes- labelling storage items, Pots around the house, and of course, the garden. I make home made seed tape for my parsnips and carrots, so that I can sow them ready spaced- saves me seed and time. Beautiful fig tree,- I would love to try growing one. Bit unsure of the pruning? I can't go to \malve n as I have dogs, but I don't have anyone to look after them for the day. I used to go every year- really missing it. Happy gardening Danny 🙂

I'll send you one. They are easy to look after. That's a shame you can't make Malvern! Maybe autumn :)

My mum sadly passed away re\cently and it has been hard to find a sitter who will stay with them - they rather prefer to pop in for 10minutes to give them a comfort break.

I think us gardeners are always the same trying to get every inch possible for planting. Nice to see Gemma and I love that plant stand it would look lovely with all your cooking herbs on it. It would make a great herb station for cooking on the plot. Take care for now Danny

    As a chicken owner I would be appalled if one of my girls did this. Once they have a taste of the garden they will be back. Somehow, some way. I hope the owner steps up and replaces your plants. On a side note---potato leaves contain solanine which can be toxic in quantities. maybe that hen won't be back around.
