Hi Kirsty another great video, Your plot looks great, Loofahs in the greenhouse is a top plan , Happy Gardening
Very jealous of the 4 compost heaps. I have one large one in the back garden and may not be allowed any others …….. maybe we’ll get an allotment one day and then we can have 4 too!!!!
Cant wait to see how your allotment blossoms thanks again for these lovely videos 👍

Thank you so much for watching them 🌸🌿 cant wait to make my next videos 👩🏻🌾
We all missed you Kirsty and to see a video pop up that is over an hour long it's great news!
I really love your large 'bush' that is massive, my rosemary got knocked back by the freeze this year, it all looks great

Thank you haha made me giggle! Hope yours has survived! 🌿🌿
That was a peaceful and charming hour i passed in your company. Keep it up, maybe you could also plant meadow flowers next to your bug house for the insects.
spray all your greenhouse with Algol and leave it and next time it rains it will wash off. the glass you could use a couple of drops of eco washing liquid - that should be OK or soft soap.
New subscriber. Very happy to have found you and your channel. I love all your ideas and I love that you kinda just go with it and do whatever comes to mind. I’m a newer gardener myself. I’ve got the composting process down and also do the no dig method. I took over an over grown fenced in garden area last fall and I’ll be building beds in it soon. No idea about a fancy bed design. I may just drop beds here and there and go with it. Thanks for your content. Can’t wait for more updates!
Really enjoyed that video Kirsty. Helps so much to see the positive vibe this is giving you, and that transfers to others. Certainly lifted my stress. You could try a comfy patch in the perennial patch or even at the rear beside the green house, this can be cut up and soaked in water each year to create a liquid feed, especially good on vegetables. Please keep them coming 👍
You have really accomplished a lot. I’m a little sad that I’m so far away. I’m in Texas & it’s too muddy here to work outside for the next week or so. Wouldn’t it be nice to just pop over and work on your space? I could tackle that space where the old compost beds used to be. Ahhh, to dream. I can’t wait to see the update in March.
I've just subscribed really looking forward to catching up on the vids

Great video! Really inspired by your compost heap, I’m looking to do mine soon!
Good work, looks nice be proud. If you put some cardboard in the compost bin in the sides more moist it will save. Vinegar for the greenhouse is good. Maybe it’s more easy for you to take cuttings in September of your favourite dahlias , good luck and thanks for sharing, love that you takes it slowly 👩🌾

Thank you i will add the cardboard 😁 Yes i should take cuttings really! Will give it a try and make sure i mulch in the dahlias properly this season! 👩🏻🌾
For your perennial weeds you could submerge into water killing off all seeds and roots then add sludge to your compost and the water can be used as fertiliser. I’d also wash the glass with washing up liquid (you can get eco friendly) x

Hi Kirsty found your channel a few days ago and been enjoying your vids, I don't have an allotment myself but I'm lucky enough to have a garden that's 50 feet wide and 200 feet long, and like you I love growing tomato's and chillies and bell peppers, and anything else I can fit into my garden I'd have it all as veggie garden but my kids wouldn't be happy, anyway your no dig bed idea interests me as I do have lower back issues so anything that saves on me digging is a bonus in my eyes, also what size is the shed as I'm after a new one to make into a workshop.

Hello 👋🏻 Wow i would love a garden like that, thats the dream for me, an allotment but at home 🌱🌸 sounds like you grow lots of lovely things already! Yeah the no dig beds really help! My shed is 12x8 and is from power sheds x

@@mylittleallotment Hi Kirsty thanks for replying it's very much appreciated, and thanks for yelling me the size of the shed it's about the size I'm looking for as I need a decent size one to work on the parts from my vintage tractor I'm restoring.
Great tour Kirsty, I love the greenhouse, would you ever split the big bed in to two? looking forward to your growing season, new subscriber 👍
For your perennial bed, how about rhubarb and or some perennial brassicus plants ?
