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.

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 😊

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… 😊

Hello Danny, We have a big problem with mares tale on our allotment site. I have found that if you dig the mares tail and get out as much of the root as possible and then when the spears of the remaining mares tail starts to break through I then spot spray it with a white vinegar, salt and washing liquid solution which kills it off within hours. You must spot spray it when it is no more that 3 to 4 cm as when the spears start to open this is when it releases its spores. The solution is 1ltr of white vinegar (20% acidity), 3 tbl spoons table salt and 3 tbl spoons of washing up liquid. I also spot spray all the weeds on my 2 plots and home gardens with great effect and have got rid of the the mares tail at the allotment and plague of sticky wicket and couch grass at my home gardens. 😊 Happy allotmenting.

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.

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.

Hello! You know what! That's made me realise I have perrennial kale's on my other plot I need to bring up! Thank you for that! You can't beat perrennial crops!

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-

Haha! I can't rule out snakes.. but I didn't even consider them when I walked in. The previous owner of the plot refused to go near it. It petrified him. So it just stood there. I have to bite the bullet and get a new shed there...

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!

Thank you! Yes it's an on going battle of jobs. Just like yours... buy we get there in the end. Glad the sandpit bed is being used now. Take care. Danny 🌱

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!

Honesty is best. Ahh, that's disappointing. I think it happens to us all, though. One year, I just couldn't get the sprouts to grow. They stayed at 1 foot tall all winter. We plod on, don't we. Check your beans and let me know!!! Haha

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.

Sprouts for winter would be quite unique set into a cylinder with netting until big season is done. They grow tall, so a cylinder should make picking easier.

The beds were created that size purely to fit the hoops.. they are 3ft wide when made and the wood I purchased was 13ft long. So they ended up 10ftx3ft . No other logic really hahaha! I've got some wood in some of the metal beds. Especially the really tall ones. They were a nightmare to fill. 😂

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

Hey Steven. I don't get mean comments..I've seen other youtubers get them and I'm like " why did they deserve that"..some viewers can be just plain nasty. I'd not tolerate it. They'd be blocked. For all we do to film & edit the videos.. cut us some slack 😂. I'm always positive and I don't post videos for people to judge or knock me down. It's not for me. Some comments I got last week were daft. They hadn't even watched the video 🤦‍♂️😂😂

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.

Sometimes keeping the "map" of your plots in my head is tough. Well, maybe it's just that my head is so full of my own to-do lists, ideas, my garden layouts, and just plain gobblygook stuff! hahaha

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😑

Ain't that the truth haha! Never think you'll beat marestail.. it'll always beat you 🤣 that's a great tip for the tin roof! Thank you!

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.

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 👏

If it's not due to the waves metal.. I do not know why.. but they don't seem to like climbing the bendy metal. To be continued....

Thank you! I get asked this often and the honest truth Is. I get damage like everyone but not as often. I bark the paths, I've found they hate them when bone dry, I nematode the plot every spring and I also have hedgehogs, I introduced to the plot. They keep the small slugs at bay. Has worked for me.
