Plant Surprises, Planting Outside and More!

We start off at the Feel Good Garden flower bed. This time I've included most of the names of the flowers. To begin with there's Foxgloves, followed by a quick look at the flower bed then on to a purple Iris, a white Allium, Calendula, Perennial Geranium, Erisymum - Artists Monet Moment, Livingstone Daisy, Valerian and Chive flowers, Yellow Erisymum, Wellies with Petunias and Allysum, Erisymum - Red Jap, Marsh Marigold, some lettuce mix gone to seed, Cistus (Rock Rose) and another look at the cabbage white butterfly on the Valerian.
Doug is busy putting straw around the strawberries to keep them off the soil and hopefully deter the slugs a bit. There are also strawberries in hanging baskets .🍓
Danny@TheGrowUpChannel gave me some Livingstone Daisy plants a few weeks ago and they've started to flower so I plant them at the edge of one of the plant beds next to the Feel Good Garden allotment pathway. They need a good watering in too.
Doug and my grandson made a raised bed ready for some brassicas They filled it like a no dig method using cardboard and compost.
I plant Covina Broccoli and and an Organic Cauliflower. Both plants I'd grown from seed. It was then netted over to prevent insects laying their eggs and bird damage.
The big reveal ..... Have the carrots 🥕 grown as big as I was expecting them?
A little tour of the polytunnel reveals plants yet to plant out, there's more brassicas, peas beans and various flowers to name just a few. I was late sowing my second lot of tomatos 🍅 but my plot neighbours Cheryl, Jonny and Danny@TheGrowUpChannel kindly gave us some of theirs.
Nanou and Grinch @plotno.9 are doing a Peanut challenge and I've had many attempts at growing them and have finally had some success at last.
Have you ever planted out onions that have started to shoot rather than put them in the recycling bin? If not have a look and see how we have some shallot looking onions. Danny@TheGrowUpChannel, will you be replanting onions now that you've seen mine? 🤔 😂
After pulling up the remaining onions, I weed the bed and rake in 2 bags of compost. A quick watering and then it's time to plant out the beetroot plants. They're ones I grew from seed and although a bit on the small side, hopefully they'll be fine.
I mention the sunflower 🌻 challenge/grow along and show you how a few if my Sunflowers are coming along. They are only about 12 inches tall so far. How big are yours?
My Walking Onions are starting to produce new onions, it's the first time I've planted them so I'm really excited to see the start of them growing and producing new onions.
Thank you for watching, liking my video and subscribing. I really do appreciate it.
Love from Linda ❤

    Linda, you work so hard on your lovely plot. Love the variety of flowers you grow. I am growing lots of flowers on my plot- love them. Just created a wild flower patch today with cornflowers, scabious and field poppies.I have made a 12ft x 4ft cut flower bed- hope it works and i get lots of cut flowers. Harvested my Chinese broccoli today, first time I'v grown it, and cooked it for tea together with lovely new broad beans- delicious. I have put 12 sunflowers in, all grown from seed. I hope they do well on the plot as I usually grow them in my garden. Happy gardening 🙂

    Carrots when sown in Autumn in a very large pot, over winter in a warm spot, then once spring starrts, move pot outside, then if still growing , but getting hot move into a shady spot, mine goes by the back door to remind me to harvest them.

    😂 🤦‍♀️ the carrots are due to great soil conditions nothing you’ve done wrong. Most root veg radish carrots etc like poor soil or they grow all leaf 🍃. It is finally sunny here and I’m out surveying the damage from high wind and rain 😢 my poor peas were toppled. My spinach all going to seed, chard has leaf miner and I’m on,y growing flowers next year 🤣🤣🤣. Carrot flowers are lovely and you can save seed. Fab update as always Linda and a fun tour.

    Awww thank you so much for your lovely comments Joyce. ❤️ I tan easily and only from being at the allotments in the sun. The onions were planted and had a lot of green shoots on them. Only noticed how they split last few weeks as they were planted ages ago. Doug said they're shallots and I said but I planted onions. He said no Linda look how they've split they're shallots. So maybe I planted very large shallots. They did look like onions though so I'm going to try that experiment again 😂
