Hey Sandi 👋 thank you so much for your kind words, this was a really lovely comment to wake up to. I have certainly made myself very busy 🙈 I really enjoy gardening and filming so much, time passes by so quickly I don't even notice sometimes! I am so pleased you enjoy watching them all the way over in America! I hope to get a bit better with my frequency of videos when my college course finishes, take good care 🤗

Hey Eva 😆 😆 what to do mean...I have so many there is like 3.5 thousand of you!!! 🤣 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the vlog 🤗💖

@@thetinygarden_ you deserve more.

@@evepilcher2366 you are so kind thank you!! 🥰

Hey Erratic Perfectionist 👋 it feels good after putting in the hard work clean up the space 🙌 I've heard brambles are like weeds they lean over and root everywhere!! Hopefully you get on top of it and don't feel defeated! Bit by bit and your garden will be transformed! P.s I hope the curtains are coming along nicely 🥰

@@thetinygarden_ yep, brambles spread roots underground as well as rooting from the tip if it touches the ground. The fruit was delicious, especially the silvanberry, but my plan is to prioritise plants that aren't going to try to take over the entire garden. Thank you 😊 I've taken a break after finishing the first set of curtains, but I've been mentally preparing to get back into it the next rainy weekend. Just watching you tackle the allotment preparation inspired me to get out into my own garden once the weather was cool and dry enough to make it possible to spend a decent amount of time doing things outdoors! I'm envious of how much you have growing at the moment! I'm sure it'll be such a productive year for you!

Doing good Carl, thank you! So pleased you still enjoy the videos! Always appreciate yours and Tracey's support means so much!! 🤗🤗

I love a garden centre, always buy way more than I plan! 🤣 It was slow for the potatoes hopefully now I can harvest them end of June 🤞🤞

Hey Joyce 👋 I was debating between two other runner bean packets, and then I found this one and it was the one I had on my list! Oh I am so excited for these sweet dumplings now! Lots of really good feedback on them! So many snails my pallet collars are full of them 🧐🤨 I cant believe they munched 4 packets of coriander, I am not surprised you weren't happy 🫣 thankfully there is time to sow more, keep at it and stay possitive 💖🤗

Thank you!! I have added an additional light 🤞🤞

Proven winners are big in Canada too! I fell in love with their brand through watching many hours of flower gardeners in America! It's really taking shape Ali, starting to feel at home at the plot! Sunnier days are coming Ali 🤞☀️I hope you had a lovely time camping 🏕 😊 x

Hey Maiju 👋 wasn't the weather lovely at the weekend 🤩 the small elho 11cm were €1.69, the bigger 15cm ones were €2.50 and the big 40cm planters were €25 each 🙂 I love leeks so much I can't wait now , I am sowing them a little later than I'd like but judging from your garden they should hold well in the ground over winter 🤞🤞💚💚

@thetinygarden_ That leek variety had no problem 💚, I'd be the same as you with the rust (if not even more 😉) and they are perfect. I was hoping that once I'll grow the leeks, we might eat more of them, but we don't.....eagerly awaiting for 1st potato harvest 😋

Thank you Laitae 💖 ah its nice to treat yourself to a few little statement items and I promised myself I would try better with the flowers 🥰 x

Hey Lorna 👋 container spuds 🙌 you know the harvest is going to be so much easier than the in ground ones 🙈 so many seedlings, they bring me so. I really hope the feed, soil and bigger pots will save them 🙏

They are showstoppers! 😍

Hey Kerrie 👋 haha I was like kid at Christmas at the allotment this weekend 🤭 it has to be the weather, thankfully the sun has been shining since Sunday and I hope its here to stay! Haha maybe leave your debit card at home or else you'll run away with yourself when you go shopping 🛍 🤣xx

Hey Carol 👋 isn't that the magic of gardening, I had a similar experience to your with your peoney with a salvia and then out of no where the following year it came back so strong!! Oh the home made pasta sauce for the freezer is such a good idea!! I hope you get lots of toms! I do the exact same thing, I could sit there for hours just looking at all the plants and then straight out the window at my broad bean flowers! It's a wonder why I have such bad luck with house plants 🙈😅 have a lovely rest of your week and see you very soon 🥰xx

Hey Rebecca 👋 getting there bit by bit, the grass and weeds along the beds are getting abit out of control 🙈 I need to look at that! I hope the beans perk up, my first proper teepee 🤩 roll on summer!! 🤗

That's loads of spuds Steve 🙌 containers are so handy aren't they and very satisfying to flip out for a harvest! I hope you have a great week gardening and take it easy filling those containers! 🪣 💪

Hey Elizabeth 👋 I've only just started using it, I bought 8 bags about three weeks ago to top my raised beds at the plot, I really like the look of it so far! 😁

That it such a good idea Linda!!

Hey lovely thank you so much 🤗 sunshine was bliss 🤩 it will be great to see you back at it filming, missed your videos and antics! Take your time though to heal, little bit by little bit! Looking forward to seeing you soon and enjoy your long weekend 💖xx

Hey Margaret 👋 wow that's such good news! You might be some what of a sweet dumpling expert 😌 do they vine or grow more like a courgette and get bushy? 🤔 I am going to set away some more of the red spring onions in cells at home, aren't they just gorgeous 🤩

Hey Steve 👋 thank you! I will do a little online search for that feed! Fingers crossed the weather stays sunny 🌞

Oh thank you for letting me know Margaret 🤗 they are gorgeous, I am really excited for them!

Hey Pammie 👋 I've only ever propagated basil 🙈 my plan this year is to do some research on how to take cuttings of different plants to fill out the garden and plot next year! There is a buddleia in the field and red currant in the car park near my house, I've had my eye on them for a while! I hope the chillies and toms pull through 🤞xx

@@thetinygarden_ the principle is the same lovely, you can do it! Just look up when the best time to do it is🥰

Hey Kaz 👋 the pots are great, I really like them and they aren't overly expensive either! I hope the potting on and feeding fixes them 🌶🍅 enjoy your time gardening and hope you keeping well 🥰

@@thetinygarden_ Thanks Laura. Here’s to a brighter and warmer week for us all 🙏

I tried that method with the peanuts and it worked a treat, I didn't think about chitting other plans! That has given me some food for thought, did you even try chitting carrots? 🥕 So lovely to hear you love the videos 🤗🥰

Thank you Joe, I definitely treated myself 🤭 no signs of change just yet 🙈🌶🍅 I'll give it another few days and see!! 🤞

Hey Glenna 👋 I didn't even realise I was over watering 🙈 oh wow folding a leggy plant with a chopstick is a skill I need to learn, I've snapped so many stems this season trying to get them into a pot!

@@thetinygarden_ Check out "Jamies Country Living," how to replant leggy seedlings. And Garden Well, Eat Well, To FIX long stem seedlings. Good planting. g

Thank you!!

That's a bargain price! They are just gorgeous plants I can't wait to have flowers!! I am going to set away a few more of the blood ones inside, they look so cool, they best germinate quick!!! Ah I can't wait now Tracey, just spent the evening potting on the dahlias. I think I have 10 all together, i did the swede in the carboard tubes, but its very leggy wondering will I start again 🫣a bit more sun and we can get everything into the ground!! 🤗💖

@thetinygarden_ I think out of all the dhalia I set away I have like 4 because of snail / slug damage. Gutted but four is better than none. It's getting to the best time now weather will be changing. Can't wait to see the squash they look super cool and spooky for Halloween. Have a great week ahead and hope your seedlings are looking better since being potted on.

Thank you Anne! I've already sown most of them! I was so chuffed with the TeePees! Adds so much structure to the allotment! I feel like a real allotment gardener now!!

@@thetinygarden_ bet you do..

Hey Julie!! 👋 Oh now you are talking! I am so up for that with the squash, I sowed mine yesterday evening! 🙌 Hopefully both of our sweet peas take off, I know its not ideal but it is nice to know this is something you're experiencing similar with them 🙈 The potatoes gave me such a buzz when I was up there, genuinely thought they were gonners after all the rain! Its so lovely to see their foliage 🤩 Have a lovely evening Julie and have fun in the garden!! 🥰🤗 xx

@thetinygarden_ This weekend I will direct sow the squash seeds so we will be about a week or so apart 😃👍

@@julieg1270 so exciting I started mine indoors! It's on the propagator, no action yet though!!

Hey Corrine 👋 thank you!! Same here my poor toms were look so sad 😢! I tried a new compost this year and funnily the first things to germinate were weeds!! It's definitely going to take some adjusting to the new composts and amending them with extra nutrients! Hope you are still having fun gardening despite the tomato trouble 🤞🌞xx

Thank you Anne, so pleased you enjoyed it! End of May is fast approaching, won't be long now!

Hey Dora, the pink is gorgeous isn't it! I love turnips when they are really small! So glad you enjoyed it! xx

Hey Barry 👋 I did get a bot if the blood fish and bone on the leaves and I thought, uhoh! I just gave the potato leaves a little shimmy hopefully no damage was done!! We have had SO much rain since i was at the plot so hopefully it finds it way down! I appreciate all the tips, it is so helpful! I have both hands crossed for a heatwave!! ☀️😎 all the best and enjoy the long weekend!! 🤗x

Floated there way out 🤣 that funny Sandra, delighted to hear they are still intact and growing up in Dublin!!! It's so nice to hear I am not the only who uses every inch of space of their dining table for plants 🤣 copy away!! 🤭xx

Hey Louise, lovely to hear from you 🥰 oh I am so glad you like the teepees as well! How the potatoes didn't rot I don't know, the ground was like a swamp for almost 4 weeks! Happy Gardening, I hope the sun is shining where you are!! 🌞xx

Hey Renee 👋 I know, I only went for plant food, compost and pots! Thrilled this everything though! Thank you for watching, take care 🥰

Hey Rosemary 👋 I had a look at a p.o box and they are 400 euro upfront cost for a year.. not sure how much I would use it.. did you want to send me something? 🙈 Home grown melons wow, I hope you get lots of fruit! One for the list once I get a greenhouse sorted 🍈🍉❤️

@@thetinygarden_ hello ! I like to send you a letter but if I cost too much then that's ok ,over here in the states we can get one for a short time for less money depending on its size , yes the melons are doing fine I cant wait to get the first one ,I will keep you posted, take care sending hugs ❤

Hey Rosemary I did some research! I think I have found a solution for the PO box 😀 I am going to try to sign up today and I will be back with the details as soon as everything is confirmed! 🤞

@@thetinygarden_ that's terrific! But if it's too much money, we will find another way, thanks for answering 🌻

Hey Rosemary 👋 i have rented a private locker, here is the postal address, I am really looking forward to receiving a letter from you ☺️ Laura - The Tiny Garden OOH32991382 OOHPod Locker, Cessna Avenue, Airport Business Park, Waterford, X91 NF7P, Ireland

Hey B Halliwell 👋 I have fallen in love with the azaleas it's the first time I have ever seen one! I just googled the blueberries you picked up, they look SO good! I did see 'Chlorsis' as I was doing a garden google to figure out what might be wrong! I used the same compost on nearly all my seedlings and they all pretty much look pale! Testing the soil would be really interesting since I bought the few shrubs and the blueberry I have become more interested in acid/alkaline soil. All the soil in the home garden was bought in over 2 years ago as general multipurpose compost and an annual mulch of farmyard manure. I don't have any idea what the ph is, this homemade test sounds like a bit of fun! Haha 😆 note taken I won't apply vinegar directly! Greatly appreciate your tips! Hope the weather is shinning in Ohio 🤞have a lovely weekend in the garden 💖🥰

@@thetinygarden_ Never??? You've truly never seen an azalea before now? They're related to rhododendrons which seem to be very popular in the British Isles and Ireland, or have I missed the mark in thinking rhododendrons are commonly used in Irish landscaping? (Or, just on larger Irish estates, perhaps?) When I was a kid, azaleas seemed to have been *de rigeur* for suburban home landscaping.. I can't recall any neighbor's home from my childhood that didn't have one or the other in the front garden (foundation plantings, mainly), and/or Japanese yew. I somehow got the idea (as a cranky old adult) that they must be very, very common in your part of the world, the azaleas and the rhododendrons, both. We shall see how these blueberries are, once the young bushes bear fruit. That's assuming, of course, that we can keep the deer, the opossums, the raccoons, and the birds away from the berries, and the deer away from the bushes, themselves, in addition to keeping them away from the berries. Garden lore or wisdom says to plant two different varieties of blueberry bush of the same type (both highbush, or both lowbush, or both rabbiteye, for example) that bloom at the same time. Pale seedlings, pale plants...it could be as you've mentioned, that they need more overall light, or more, and more direct, sunlight. Old-time farmers used to judge their soil's pH by tasting a handful of the ground in the field/s, and as farming was their livelihood, I have to suppose they knew exactly what they were tasting. In addition to not attempting to acidify soil by applying vinegar (of any type), in this day and age you'd probably do well to eschew putting soil in your mouth. Soil does become more acid as it acquires more and more organic matter. Thanks for the good weather wishes 🥰💖; it's partly cloudy today and we've a forecast for rain by nightfall, then steady rain until Wednesday next when we'll see some sun and then more showers, but this is actually quite usual for this time of year. And we do need the precipitation as it has been drier than usual. Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio. 😊 💚💚💚💚💚😊

Ohh excellent!! I can't wait now. I am going to sow some this week!! 🤩

Hey Jean 👋 now you mention it, I did see a lot of people grow the turnip last year! They only had two varieties in the shop there want much to pick from! That's such good news on the Lady Di...I just need to figure out ideas to cook/eat them!

Hey! I was thinking salad but actually I realised I have some pumpkins/squash to plant and trail along the soil surface, I took the idea from the three sisters method, my first time trying it!

Hey Jim 👋 most of the beds in my home garden I made myself from pressure treated deck boards, I purchased the pallet collar beds from a garden centre in Dublin called Johnstown Garden Centre! There is a little playlist on the channel called the redesign where I show you how I built them 🙂

I got them from Sow Diverse! Their germination was great but they have looked a little sad since I planted them out at the allotment I think I might have been a few weeks early! I get most of my seeds from Seeds Ireland, Brown Envelope Seed Company, Sow Diverse or Irish seed savers, they are all Irish companies and organic which is nice too!

Hey Elaine 👋 I've never heard of beechdale, I've just googled them and seen they are in enniscorty, not fair at all for a little spin!! JC & Co pots are so nice 🤩

Hopefully the mice don't dig them up!!!! That great to know as our last frost is end of march/ first week in April! Fingers crossed, they are still there next week! Maybe I'll sow some indoors just in case 🤭

Hey Nitelite 👋 I have three honey bears poking out of the soil, I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞 the mistake was not feeding and potting on my tomatoes and chillies, I would have lost them all! Thankfully the new pots, soil and feed I bought is working a treat!

Hey Janet 👋 so busy I lost track of time on Sunday, didn't get in the door till 5.30!! I need all the luck, I've never grown at this scale before I hope my chilli's and peppers improve 🤭 So lovely to hear you got into the garden, I hope it gets sunnier and sunnier 🤞💖xx

@@thetinygarden_ aw you will be just fine Ur heart is in gardening ,so u will come through OK I didn't get a .lot done But 2 hours on just cutting branches up from when we cut the trees back, so been doing my bit trying cut and tidy Never ending but I feel better ,knowing I tried The sun been shining all day ,and got too hot so packed stuff away ,came in ,nice bath and relax

Hey Aine I got them from Arboretum I went to their Carlow store 🌸

@@thetinygarden_ thanks will definitely have to keep an eye out

Ohhhh Susie 🙈 your joking me, literally spent ages stringing that up 🤣 still learning 🤣

@@thetinygarden_ Yes I thought you might 🤦 Sorry 😊 Each one will climb a pole and then get jumbled at the top .lol They do freeze amazingly though. No blanching ,just chop and freeze on a tray then bag up .Still eating last year's and they still taste amazing 😍

@susiespearing6165 haha 🤣 I noticed they started to knot in their seed tray 🪢 no blanching, that is music to my ears! I can't wait, I hope they are still growing nicely since I planted them 🤞 still eating a harvest from last year is so cool Susie, did you have many plants?

@@thetinygarden_ I only ever plant 6 to 8 .Usually "Cobra" which are wonderful and sometimes 6 Violette podded .Made 10 large ziplock bags full which I've used in stews and casseroles all winter .

Hey Mairead 👋 it's called Aboretum there is one Dublin and Wicklow but I went to their Carlow Store 🙌 I love it in there, they have a good indoor plant section too 🤩

@@thetinygarden_ ah yes i know them well thank you
