Thank you Loganberry ☺️ I loved the shed too! 🤩

Hii!! Oklahoma wow I love it when people share where they are from! Thank you so much! It has been a whirlwind and I am really enjoying it!! I hope you have a lovely day ☺️

Hey Jake! So many options for the space, flowers are a must!! Haha thank you for the heads up on the gennie, there are a good few cables in the shed, including a locker full that I might want to avoid as well😅 The sink was kind of quirky, I'll have to cut it all back and see how to hook it up for sure! I will approach the shed with caution 🙅‍♀️ no need to apologise at all, that chats are great! 🤗🌼🍀

It's so exciting Katy, so much has changed since I took it on! Looking back, I am so glad I took the leap and put my name down for one!

Hey Malcolm 👋 that was the plan for sure, the shed was giving me the heeby jeebys 😬 my plot neighbours have assured me they dealt with the problem before I arrived 🤞

No worries Shawn, I have learnt a lot from your channel and you have shared some really sound advice that has helped me! Definitely hardwork ahead 😅💪

Thank you 🤗 🌱

Thank you!! 🤗

Thank you so much!! I can't wait for summer too!! 🥰

Hey DN! Glad you like it! That's it in a nutshell, it will be great to just be out and about connecting to nature and any food would be an added bonus! 🤗🌻

Thank you George! That's so nice of you to acknowledge!! Videos have been a little sporadic recently as I try to close out the last of my studies but I'll be back at it weekly in no time!

That is a great idea, I don't own a wheel barrow yet but when I do it could go there! I was toying with the idea of a greenhouse today! 😆

Hey Pat 👋 I felt the same way, I got weird feeling about that sunken poly tunnel! I think so too, I have a bit of scrap wood I am going to mend it tomorrow!! 🐀🙅‍♀️

Certainly a lot of cleaning to be done, it's the first thing on my agenda. Looking forward to the bank holiday now to get ahead!! I was delighted to see the sun it has been foggy for literally weeks! Hope you have a relaxing weekend Maiju 🥰🌸🌞

Thank you Shell! 🤗

Thank you so much for the allotment starting out guide! Wow! I feel so blessed to have you here to share this knowledge and give me the confidence to tackle my new plot 🙈 I met one of the allotment holders, and he was so helpful at sharing some history on the plot before I arrived. He even offered me a fig tree, which was so kind! I definitely have rules on my list of things to discover. Things seem pretty easy going, which is nice! Disinfecting the shed is in my to-do list this weekend! I have some spare wood here I could nail in over the hole. I do want hens, you reckon 3 to 5 would fit in that cage, awesome! There are a couple of roosters on the site, I definitely heard those noisy boys the last day I was down there! That is such a thoughtful thing to say about the channel name, I feel so sentimental about the channel name, and I will still have my tiny garden no matter what. Nothing beats opening the door and grabbing something fresh to make a meal in a little as 5 steps! Honestly, thank you so much 💖

Well Cindy 🥰 (did you know that is such an Irish way to greet someone!) The sun was just gorgeous, a little shade on the plot but I'll put that down to the sun being low in the winter! Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday and keeping well! 🌺🌼

Hey Barry 👋 so much to do, and so much more to learn! The grass feels really thick and tough, the ground it was very uneven so I might need to do some levelling as to not break an ankle when I am walking around! That is such a lovely offer! I am sure there are a few people I can rope in to help me! Thank you so much for your best wishes and here is to a exciting season ahead to both of us! 🙌🤗

Oh I didn't know that Linda, I must have a look at mine in the garden there once it stops raining, I spent ages staging and stacking them the other week they were tricky to line up! Oh the water could be turned off, of course!! 🤣 The freezing temps could damage the pipes, why didn't I think of that! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey Douglas, thank you 🙂I definitely don't plan on rushing it. I've got to get something done with the grass its very tough and coarse!

We can keep chickens and have fires 🔥 I cant wait!! Thanks for joining the journey 🙌

Thank you Sabrina 💖 you have to go with your gut don't you! I really can't wait to get stuck in, I just need to clean the shed first!

Hi Cheryl 👋 I love your channel name! Thank you for subscribing 💖 love meeting new people! I really can't wait now to transform it, I'm going to trust the process and hope for some good weather 😆🤸‍♀️🌻

Yay! Team #2!! I've to give that shed a good clean and then I will be getting straight into it! 🙌🍀

Hey Nanou!! The windows were full of algea or some kind of green residue and there was already so much light coming in through them, imagine what it will be like when the windows are clean!! It was pretty warm in there too! Thank you so much for your lovely words and encouragement 💖🌿🌺🌻xx

@@thetinygarden_ Brilliant! You will make it into a wonderful shed! I just know you are going to love your allotment! Great site you are on too! Xxx

Isn't it a weird depth and it's right in The middle so not much room for other growing space, but then again I don't know how life changing a polytunnel is 🤭🤭 I wasn't able to show the plots in much detail because the weather was so bad! Roll of spring hey!! 💖 x

@@thetinygarden_ weather has been diabolical. It definitely wouldn’t have been a first choice and I really seen that topography of the plot. You’ve mad a fabulous choice and I’m dying to see it all come together. Exciting season for us all

Thank you Mags 🤗 I know wait lists are so long it's such a shame they aren't more accessible to people 😔 I really am looking forward to making some progress the next time I am down there 🔨🧹🪛 keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

​@@thetinygarden_thank you. Mean time I'll enjoy watching how you get on with yours 😊

Oh I am so pleased to hear I didn't disappoint with my choice, plot one was quite popular! I definately like to idea of having the space behind the shed to it to store all the bulk items. The sink is so quirky! I like the idea of having it as a potting station! I am so used to grabbing veg from the garden at home and bringing it in to wash I didnt think about the benefit of a sink at the plot at first glance! 😅 I am going to look at a safe mask for the droppings, once that is clear I will feel much more comfortable to place my bag and things down 😅😷🧹

This may not be a popular opinion, and sorry if I'm too straightforward, but as long as you are happy, you could never disappoint. The biggest part, and most importantly in my mind, with content like this, is the joy and happiness it brings you. Because that shows, and that is why it's such a treat to watch and come back to your videos.

I really like the sink idea, I jusy thought it was so unusual and something I'd never seen before! It's definitely a keeper! I have always wanted a wormery Rosemary! I've heard worm castings are brilliant 🙌🪱

Thank you Lynn! Delighted to have you here 🤗 fingers crossed for a productive season on the plot and the home garden! 🤞🍀

@@thetinygarden_ absolutely. We have a home garden for veg and fruit growing. The allotments are miles away. We are in Wales.

Thank you so much!! 💖 8 composter bins worth, you are probably not wrong 🤣! The seed exchange sounds so cool i did see a few groups online doing this. I've always wanted to save some of my own seed but with the home garden space was a premium and leaving soil fallow to drying seeds heads was something I had to compromise on, so maybe I can learn a bit about that in the seasons to come! I am so pleased you like the idea to centre the gate! You could be totally right on the plot size by the way, how accurate can a few paces be anyway!! 🤷‍♀️🥾

@@thetinygarden_ THANK YOU for the reply, Laura. No compromising now with a plot of your own! It's so fantastic. I'm just worried you will get so deep into this it will consume you like Organic farming has done to me. Keep in mind the larger the land, the bigger the obsessions get. lol Another Channel that I follow just got his plot in Bristol. He is over the moon with joy getting his own plot. [2] When I am drying larger seeds,, like squash, pumpkin, etc. I put on parchment paper for a few days, then I put them in glass jars with screw on Rings that have the screen lids. After a few months so they are totally dry, I put them in my own seed enveloped that I designed, printed, folded and glued into seed packages that I write their details on. These are the screw on rings with screen lids you can order for sprouting [I love sprouts for salads and sandwiches ] . By putting them in jars with screen lids, they won't mold while drying, and take up limited space. They need that air flow to dry.. [3] YES TO THE CENTER GATE,, with maybe a trellis type arch over the top with a cute sign attached. "Laura's Plotting" perhaps?? lol [4] Since Compost is "BLACK GOLD" for gardeners [and us organic farmers], the more the better. Those pallets would make great composting bins. I wouldn't use that big trash bin for composting since there is zero air flow or drainage. I'd just use it for putting in the shovels, rakes, any long handle tools, or wood pieces. But punch holes in the bottom so they aren't sitting in water after it rains. I have zero waste since I compost everything. Even envelopes, cardboard or any paper products. I shred as best as I can and compost it. Just make sure there is no plastics in anything like envelopes with plastic windows.. [5] Paces DO WORK if you know your footstep distance. Mine is too wonky to be relied on. My 12 inches paces, would be 9 or 14. lol . So I just keep a tape measure in my gardening tool belt with my pens, markers, secateurs, knife, and hori hori. lol [6] I simply can't wait to see the progress as it happens in your plot. My entire 🍀🍀 family is cheering you on for success. it's going to be Brilliant.

Hey Elisabet, I did have my name down for a community space too and it worked the very same way you describe! I never thought I would have the option for a plot and I am so grateful!! I totally understand the shading out thing, I find that hard to juggle in the tiny home garden for my crops let alone the neighbours! 😅200 plots is sound like a mighty little community wishing you all the best for the season ahead! Thank you for taking the time to leave me a lovely comment!

Thank you Mairead!! I have a good bit of cleaning to do now but I will get cracking tomorrow with the broom and see what wood might be under all of that grass! 🥰🌸

Hey 👋I don't think they are canes (it could be nettles?) I have raspberries in containers at home I am not sure I would want them in ground as I heard their spread can be prolific and agree with you on the productivity side of things, I got a few punnets (they were gorgeous though!) Given the size of your plot and space being a premium, do you have one crop that you find most valuable/productive for you that you couldn't be without? I hope to meet some of my neighbours to learn more about how the space was used, I am intrigued with the generator and all the cables I have to say! 👀😁🍀

@@thetinygarden_ Yes, that was another reason why I wanted to remove the raspberries - the rhizomes branch out under the soil and start popping up everywhere. Just like mint does. My favourite thing I grew last year was French beans. This is my favourite veg to eat and the variety I grew called Cobra were prolific and really tasty - significantly better than supermarket bought french beans. I didn't really prepare a proper bed for them - I just cleared some space and added some compost to planting holes and grew them up a cane A frame. I was surprised at how well they did. I was picking beans for a good couple of months. My Crown Prince Squash did spectacularly well too. Had 4 huge squash from just two plants (one was almost 6kg). Much bigger than ones I had grown at home. Very good variety well known for its taste. If anything they did a bit too well - it's hard to get through a 6kg squash/pumpkin so this year I'm going to be trying Uchiki Kuri squash too as they should be more manageable in eating. I had a great crop of carrots too for the first time although I grew them in containers last year. I think they did well because I covered them up so root fly couldn't get at them. This year I am planning on building a dedicated deep bed for carrots - will be 3 decking boards high so just over 40cm high. Will need to find a lot of soil and compost to fill that! Honestly it's really only my first full year with the plot as we didn't get it until June last year so I'm really excited to be growing loads of things this year.

Hey Ursula! A new allotment how exciting!! With the chicken coup gone I imagine you will gain some extra space!! I am really looking forward to getting down there this weekend and getting things moving! I've a bit of clearing to do first I think! Looking forward to hearing about how you get with your allotment too! 🤗

It had good vibes didn't it! It felt roomy 🤗🙌 can't wait to get going now!

🙌🙌I thought the sink was so quirky! Something I've never seen before. Definitely a little cleaning to do in the shed 😷 I can't wait to get creative and see what goes where, I must remember I now have space so I don't need to squish it all in! I am like Cheshire the cat I am going around the place, such a big kid! 😁xx

Thank you Bird 🤗 I'd never seen a barrel like that before, it looked so cool! I did see a few IBC tanks on the site they looked super handy for water storage!

@@thetinygarden_ they are great for water storage, but if you live in a mossy/swampy area like me, its best to wrap them in thick dark plastic to keep the mold at bay.

Wow that's so cool! I definately have to keep it and try and plumb it up to the water! 🙌

You're welcome 🤗I am so glad you enjoyed it! So much to do, so much cleaning and that grass was tough to get through haha 😅

Hey Bay 🤣 thats funny! The thought may have gone through my mind once or twice whilst getting it to where it is now 🤣 but thrilled I stuck at it hopefully I get some nice vegetables this year and the hard work pays off!

also rat poop in shed

Honey suckle! Ooh that's a gorgeous shrub 🤩

Thanks Val, I'm not overly familiar with rodent droppings! 😅🤢 needs a good scrub and that whole covered up!

Thank you so much! It's going to be so fun! 🤸‍♀️🙌💖

I was like Cheshire the cat going around the place! It really is such a nice feeling the excitement was real! 🤸‍♀️😁 Congratulations on your new plot, I hope it turns into everything you wished for! 🤗🥕🍅🌻

Thank you Tracey I am like a big kid, so excited now! I am going to enjoy and trust the process 😆🤸‍♀️

Thank you Jamie! Really excited now to gut everything and get going 🙌

I love the sink I'm definitely going to keep it! That is a good suggestion for the coup if I don't get chickens, thank you 🤗

Thank you Sylvia! Best get my marigolds on that shed needs gutting first 🤣🙈

Thank you 🥰🌺💮lots of cleaning to be done first!x

I really was so lucky to get a choice! I couldnt get over the how sunny the shed! Thrilled to have you along for the journey! 💖🤗

Steve that has got to be the funniest comment I've ever had 🤣🤣🤣 literally I'm belly laughing! 🏊‍♀️🤣🚣‍♀️

@@thetinygarden_ 😂

Thank you Sarah! Excited to get going now 🤗🍀

Thank you so much Christina 😁🤗

Thanks Laura🤗💖

Thank you lovely 💖 roll on the bbqs! 🙌

Thank you so much! Itching to get going now! 🙌🌿

Hey Andrew! Thank you so much! I feel so greatful to have this new space! Happy to have you follow along for the journey 🙌 Fingers crossed I can get some crops in this season! 🤞

Thank you Christine 🤗roll on spring 🙌🌺x

🤗🤗

Thanks Will 🤗 I can't wait to plant all the things!!!

Thank you, so thrilled to have more space! 🙌

Thank you so much! I am so excited about it!! 🤗

Thank you Carol! I am delighted, and so glad you're coming along for the journey! 🙌☘️xx

Thank you Renee 🤗💖

Thanks Carl! Can't wait now to do a bit of gardening, going to tackle the shed first so at least it will be clean and I can put my bag down! 🎒🙌

Thanks so much Kay 💖I love the shed too the windows really made it a deciding factor out of the five! Excited to get going now! 🤗

Thank you Wendi I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all done! 😁

Thank you Janet, it has been a busy weekend that's for sure 😆

Thanks a million Willie! Delighted you're here! 🙌🍀

Thank you Kevin!!

Thank you Miss Issippi! I think I might need to rethink where the compost goes 🤔! And yes SPACE!! So exciting!

I had to go with my gut!! I am so pleased you're not disappointed with my choice I know you liked plot one and five! After spending the rain in the day at plot 5 I saw the immediate value I would have from a shed! 🌦️🤣

@@thetinygarden_ Haha we voted based on what we could see in the video you put together, but there's lots of other things that we can't see/know unless we are there too. Hearing more of extra details in this video, Plot #2 is definitely the logical choice! 😊 It's going to be fantastic!

Hey Julie!! 🤗 it makes me so happy that you are just as excited as me! I will get a special mask I think before I go moving the animal droppings 😅😷 once it is cleared I will feel a bit happier and comfortable to put my things down, I had my bag hanging outside I was too frighted to let it touch anything 🤣 I would love a few hens or even a duck 🐣🐤I didn't realise the sink was used to hold the soil, that is such a good idea!! So much to think about an i guess it will evolve each year as get to understand the space! Thank you for coming along with me on this journey!! 💖xx

Thank you Pat I really am so excited, I know there will be a bit of work in getting it into shape, so pleased you're going to be here for the journey 🙌

Hey Sandra 👋 thank you so much! It's going to be eventful I think 🤸‍♀️ I've to scrub that shed clean first 😅 🙈

Thank you so much 🤗 really looking forward to getting going now, I must start with a deep clean in the shed!

I would definitely like to use the sink, there are two hoses that seem to run along the ground around the base of it, I need to clear it to see in more detail. I saw your big blue barrel that you use for the tomatoes I would be interested in trying to set up one of those!

@@thetinygarden_ The barrel is a good thing for me Laura because sometimes at the height of the weather we travel form the northeast to visit family in south wales, so the little drip feed is very useful, also its gravity fed and not having to rely on a 12 volt pump as i only have car batteries but no solar panel system yet.

Thank you Corrine 💖 I can't wait now to strip it all back and plant all the things!!! 🙌🤸‍♀️

Haha 🤣 Tina I won't lie I am a little overwhelmed, I am definately going to rush it! I can't wait to get cracking! 💖🤗

Hey Jeremy 👋 your new allotment sounds great and like your are pretty much ready to go and start planting with all those structures! 18 beds, the space sounds huge as well! Wishing you all the best with your new growing space 🙌

Thank you looking forward to seeing how you get on and maybe find out things I’m not sure of. 😊👍

Hey Helen 👋 thank you I am so thrilled! My mum has three hens and they are such good company! I'd love a couple and fresh organic eggs would be a bonus. Thank you for your best wishes 🤗

I can't wait to have my first fire 🔥🙌 I've so much scrap wood to burn!

Good luck Laura ,it's nice this time of year with a roaring fire on your plot best wishes jay

Thank you Janice, the shed is so much nicer now its clean!! I can't wait to have all my plants in there 😍 I have my fingers crossed for you and getting an allotment soon 🤞🤞

Thank you so much I am so excited!! 😆

@@thetinygarden_ you seem to have a positive can-do attitude so looking forward to following your journey. I’m currently creating a garden allotment. Trying to plan which seeds to start sowing etc 😊

Thank you Gracie 🤗💖

@@thetinygarden_ ur welcome

Thank you so much Darla! I've a lot to learn and there is plenty to do, really looking forward to it now! 🤗

Ah, but the learning is half the fun, isn't it? @@thetinygarden_

​@@DarlaPitman 100% 😆🤗

That is so exciting 🙌 I hope you get some good news soon! The trailer is still there, so I might be claiming it for myself! 😅 thank you for following along, great to have you here Janice!

Hey Andy 👋 that is a real good idea, only when I looked back over the video some of the wood looks a bit rotten! We are allowed fires and burning it would save a trip to the dump! 🔥 🙌

Hey Niki, haha 😂 yes we do get quite a bit of rain over here! We do have access to mains water but I love the idea of doing up the shed with a bit of guttering, I pretty much only watered my home garden with rain water the plants definately prefer it! 🙌

Thank you Tracey 💖 I am so excited to get going! I am going to start off a few seed now this weekend and try an salvage the rhubarb that's chilling at the side of the plot in a grow bag!

@thetinygarden_ my first 2 years I tried all new things. Imagine the squash you can do 🤯🤯🤯🤯 One tip if you do raspberries they go CRAZY and sprout up all over so be selective where you put them lol I'm pleased I put mine along the fence line out the way 🤣 This year I'm getting a pickup load of wood chip which is £60 to tidy the paths up and making another brassica section. I noticed the pile of woodchip which is brilliant. Getting it free where I live is like finding hens teeth.

I have heard that about raspberries, I did mine in buckets at home only for the reason that I didn't have any inground space but I think I will always do them in containers now that I know they can be hardwork to manage! Imagine the squashh!!! The woodchip is fab and I was told I can ring the local farmer for manure and he will drop it over for next to nothing! I just need to decide if I am going to do grass paths or woodchip 🤷‍♀️

@thetinygarden_ I just did mine wood chip with it being a field so didn't want all the weeds coming through as much and we put membrane down first. Needs more adding this year for sure. Yeah our neighbours are horses and the farm behind our plot have cows 🐄 so we are lucky with manure too. We don't have a water pipe either so we collect in a big barrel but we get on great with the farmer and they said we could use their water pipe to fill the barrel if needed. Amazing what a bag of fruit and vege can do 🤣 Exciting times ahead 🥰

Thank you Penny 🌺🌼

Hey Emma 👋 I thought the sink was so cool! I hope so and I am looking forward to going back down this weekend and giving the shed a little clean and getting a feel for the space! 💖

Old sinks are handy as outdoor potting benches. Shop bought ones fall apart if left outdoors.

🥰

Hey Janet, I have probably one of the most inconsistent upload schedules, you couldn't never be late! I remember you saying just before the grandchildren came over, you weren't feeling 100%. Thank you and I am so glad you're going to be following along! Get yourself some rest 😴🌸x

@@thetinygarden_ thanks Laura Kids have just gone home for the week They be back next weekend I stripped there bed so it all clean for weekend Hit the shower and bed I'm exhausted and hurt all over ,I usually hurt pain wise but today has to be the highest pain level in months Won't be long til I'm asleep once pain meds kick in Take care and have a great week ahead lovely I'm hoping once I'm in less pain I can get a bed ready for my pumpkins Bye for now

Thank you JP 🙌

I know! I thought it was SO random I've never seen that on anyone's plot before. When I was walking around the site a few people have them 👀

Hey! I didn't think about that, thank you for the suggestion! I do weekly vlogs on the garden and allotment, as soon as the season kicks off I'll be showing both of my growing spaces! Best of luck with your new plot of land!! 🙌

Hey Julie 👋 I am going to chat to the neighbours and see what the story is, they must have numbers or names surely!! Thank you for the suggestions!! 🤗

I didn't sit in the chair yet! But it would probably make a perfect spot for a purse 👛 I hung my bag and coat on one of the frames so I definately need a proper home for them!

I don't think youtube lets you send photos 🤔 do you have an Instagram account? You could send them in a direct message to me, I'd be delighted to see what the sink looks like! My name on instagram is @thetinygarden_ 🤞

No I choose not to have more accounts. Hope u do well. I look 4wd to seeing ur next vids

@rosemaryryan6455 no worries Rosemary! I do have my email address as well if you wanted to show the pictures that way thetinygarden@outlook.com I am looking forward to getting down to the plot this weekend!
