Great of your neighbour to lend you a pick axe! They are so useful when digging out well established weeds! It always amazes me how much bigger a plot looks when it is cleared! Good idea using the tarpaulin to kill some of the weeds. It does work! What a friendly little dog. So nice that you have lovely plot neighbours, great if they take some of your unwanted items, very helpful! You did a fantastic job and your potatoes are going to thrive! 😘💕🌸

That would be the biggest job out of the way. 7hrs is a long time digging but well worth the results. My potatoes have sprouted out of the pot and some others in a bed I had last year.bonus.! It's exciting when they appear out of the ground 😅❤🇦🇺❤️🤗

Wow what dedication 💪💪, I would be hiding in the house with a quilt. But then you will see amazing results for all your hard work. Have a super week Laura and happy gardening 👩‍🌾, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦

You are a working machine! That was a hard job but will be so productive in the long run. Your videos are so well done. Great music too.

How exciting you’ve planted your first crop! 🎉 The allotment dog is so cute! He looks like a Charlie

Well lass you're not frightened of hard work, well done. I was in the garden four hours yesterday just getting things ready & tidying up, it was a choice between seed sowing or going outside, I'm pleased I decided to go outside yesterday as we've got rain today lol. Aww the dog is cute 🥰 Take care Laura, see you soon xx

It’s great to see all that plastic leaving the ground, as well as all the weeds. Well done!

Hey Laura, you have been a busy bee havent you, its good to see the plastic leaving the plot. I loved the St Paddys day hat. You are definitely not scared of hard work. the plot seems to look better with each video. No potatoes planted for me yet, Well done Laura 👍

I always dig out difficult perennial weeds before converting new ground to no dig. At least docks and nettles are easier to eradicate, apart from the stinging part. Wet ground is much harder work. Take it easy 7 hours is a lot of digging, you are a hard worker!

Hi Laura 👩‍🌾 Happy St Patricks Day ☘ to you for Sunday just gone. As for the plot you are doing a great job digging it over ready for the Potatoes 🥔 to be planted, when you do your main crop of Potatoes 🥔 put down some Blood🩸Fishand Bone🦴before the seed Potato 🥔 that will help them to grow giving them vital nutrients in the process, don't worry about your 2nd early ones you can sprinkle some on the top and the rain🌧 will wash it in. The reason i mentioned it is that there wouldn't have been much if any some nutrients left in the ground, whether something was grown there or not by the last people who had the plot. Take Care. Barry (the Wirral, Eng)

Fierce work getting the ground ready, that wasn’t easy! Love seeing your progress on the plot

What a job you did it is not only the weed but the roots are terrible 🙈. But you did it again!

I planted my British Queens in march as well and just dug up my first few plants today Fr 26 jul 2024 and and had a great harvest am in Ireland as well hope yours does as good

Hey Laura lovely to see someone not afraid to get really stuck in and don't mind getting muddy...that's my girl,great job 👍Somthing a bit different 🧐 false lashes just a good Mascara! If Mascara l need to know which one you use 😆 always on the look out for a good one as l spend 12/£14 and they are rubbish. Loving your videos 🤗 hugs for your fur baby 🌱🌱🌱

🐝Thanks for the great video🌻 You done allot of work!! Every time it looks a bit more like a plot.

Hey Laura. Good job! Lots done 👍🏽 Loved the St Paddy's day hat💚🤣 Best of luck with the tatties. I've not put mine in yet but hoping to at the weekend! Have a good one, Rach 🌱👩🏼‍🌾

The big piece of plastic or tarpaulin would be useful to cover mulched but unused raised beds over winter to supress weeds and retain nutrients until you are ready to plant the following year. Guess you could cut it and cover 2 or 3 beds with that size.

You have done an amazing job and you do it all with a smile .Love your attitude .

7hrs of digging 😮 yo will ache, good job.👌🙏💪🥔👍

those nettle roots, wow! Youve put some graft in there, your spuds will taste all the better for it!

Wow! 7 hours digging! I feel your pain. I’ve spent the last two days digging up raspberries and currants - 10 hours later me and my doggy are whacked! Great achievement though! Btw, who is singing that song ‘golden’ on your video - it’s lovely. Keep up the good work lovely lady! Xxx

Those nettles were a tough work, Laura 🫣 and a lot of them too.... At least you had a great tarpaulin find, and it looked huge in its size 😀 could be useful in the future. At least the potatoes are in the ground 😊. Are you fertilizing the are with anything? I didnt see you adding anything 😊 A good rest for yourself now, well deserved 🤗💚🌿

Hi Laura, sorry I missed commenting on your video last week. I thought it was awesome and very informative 😊 I've been busy on my own garden with sowing, clearing downed tree limbs from our ice storm a couple months ago. We just bought a wood chipper to take care of the smaller branches. Yey free wood chips I will use on making paths around my beds. Today's video was fun and I felt exhausted for you, 7 hours? I bet you were sore but I understand that when you get a project goal, there's no stopping until it's done. Bravo for getting those spuds in the ground. I am still waiting for a bit warmer weather to plant . We are getting snow Friday 🙄 that doggie was so cute and it seems he was being very protective over you 😊. It's great to see the progress of your plot, its starting to look more like a wonderful home for yummy veggies . Have a great week Laura and looking forward to your next video 🙂👍

You’ve done amazing! Don’t totally exhaust yourself though!

You are one hard worker.😊

Hi laura Incredible hard work. We had 5 hours on saturday i slept well saturday night put it that way 😂 All of our plot was like that bed absolutely back breaking lol even the new beds we just keep forking raking forking raking and after a few times it looks incredible. Keep at it as its worth it. Awhhhh love the furry visitor ❤ he was having a right nosey lol 😂 I need to get my potatos sorted. 🥔 carl was saying to me if you spray the pot leaves with seaweed it helps stop scab 🤷‍♀️ Great that you met your neighbours and hes going to try ans fix the generator. Great progress 👏

Good job on your potatoes in the garden. Thanks for sharing

That is heavy looking soil Laura. It will be so much easier when you have raised bed organised. We hardly ever dig in the veg plot now and there are few weeds in the beds (mostly self seeded veg, herbs and wild flowers and we can work round them) but it has been years of adding bought and home made compost.

Hey 😊 sorry only just got round to sitting with my cuppa to watch. Hectic week!!! Mud bath 😂😂 looks fun and you’re doing a grand job. You were made to allotment 🤗 Allie & Tricia xx Ps will be back to comment more 😂

Khu vườn rất gọn gang ngăn lắp sạch đẹp 👍.

That’s very handy that the neighbour wants your rubbish!😂😊

I am growing potatoes in pots this year . Swift early and Pink Fur Apple seeded potatoes main.

Wow Laura.. that was hard work but what a great job you did. I use the term Claggy got wer, sticky soil too. I did plant a few first earlies in buckets on St Patrick’s Day but not sure whether to put any in the ground or not. The plot is turning around so fast. You’ve come a long way in 10 plot days. You should give yourself a gentle pat on your sore back. Lovely that your plot neighbours are so nice and the little doggie, Patch, is cute

I have a three legged cat that regularly visits I’ve named it tripod

Hey laura , Nice to see u ,and looking so happy in ur new allotment Planting your first lot of spuds Your doing amazing i just love watching u get stuck in , Makes me wanna go get stuck in ,but fibro and arthritis says nope Im really trying to get through the pain ,without success , Its wednesday 20th ,and really over cast an gloomy ,so indoors ,feet up an chill Take care lovely What a beautiful fur baby

The weather was great in Ireland today i spent the day at my allotment you are right Dublin queens or as some call them British queens are my favourite

Saya suka menanam

Your plot is coming along really nicely. It’s good to see that you are making friends with your neighbors.

Excellent video! You captured some great angles. What a huge job to work that wet soil..... I can't wait to grow potatoes (my first time). I have so many coming that I think I'll try some in the ground too..🥰

A potatoe Workout 👍

Oh GOSH! You've planted your SECOND EARLY SPUDS! I'm worried now because I've only just planted my FIRST EARLY SPUDS. I have a planter for my second early spuds - I guess I better motor on and get them planted 😬.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your video with us 👍. New subscriber to your channel 👍.

Great you got your spuds down before the deluge! How is the roof of the shed holding up in this weather?

Well done x

There would be a general strike if you asked someone to use a pick nowadays. Long handled spades and forks are much easier on the back but have become expensive nowadays. Car boot sales are a great way of getting gardening tools very cheaply.

Well done on your hard work. I feel your pain on heavy digging task. I had to go through the same when I got my plot. I still keep fighting with penerial weeds like hog weed. You are doing absolutely amazing. One question about 3 legend Does he belongs to someone 🤔

Yay! How exciting it is to have something in the ground! 🥔I am so impressed that you managed to get those nettles out so quickly - and I'm not surprised you were aching after all that digging! 🤣 I'm currently battling with my own patch of nettles so I know exactly how you feel! 😵‍💫Hope you have a lovely week 💖

1st crop in the new plot, exciting times.....

All your hard work will make those potatoes extra delicious, I’m sure!🤗 What a lovely little visitor too! My visitor left a pile cat puke in front of the gate this morning, which was lovely … makes a change from ‘gifts’ from its other end😒😆 We won’t talk about what the fox has been up to!😅 Excited to see what you get up to next!🤓

I think the no dig tarp or cardboard method requires more time than youre willing to give it right now.

Hard work but always worth it ❤well done 🫶🏾👌🏾

Looks like you had a great long weekend 😊lots of jobs done, keep up the good work Laura 😊

Yay! Someone wants the rubbish!

Wow, that was a lot of hard work!

Just subscribed, very easy and pleasant to watch, you’re doing a great job. My allotment was full of carpet when I first got it, under several inches of soil. X

Gosh, what a lot of mess left behind for you Laura. When we had an allootment many years ago youd have something like a months notice to give and in that time youd have to clean up the whole plot before leaving. Perhaps that is something to discuss in the nect site meeting?

Could u spell out name of the blight resistant potatoes? Not sure i heard it right. Also, could u share how u save seed potatoes over winter? Thanks so very much

Your doing a brilliant job so.much progress Laura if you dont me asking what part of the country you in I. Sure on one vid you live in Ireland but I may be wrong. All the best love your content all the best😊

Hi Laura, sorry to trouble you, Could you please tell me where you got that Benefits Bad Gal Bang Mascara from exactly. Was it from this country. So many different sights lm confused😮 just got to get this Mascara ❤ loving you videos by the way 🌱🌱🌱

I wish I had felt well enough tonstart my first potatoes. They are chitting nicely. I then put them in pots for a while and before they get pot bound they go into buckets of well rotted maure and hone made compost then go in rows on a spare bit of my neighbours garden. I try to do 4 or 5 successions that way. Just one seed potatoe per bucket has been working out well. Once it gets to December they can be moved into the polytunnel where the tomato tubs are being removed in stages.

What is nettle. Im in East Texas . Is it a briar type plant?
