What a great job you are doing Sherry - excellent task getting the guttering up to capture the rain. It would be a good idea to cover the IBC opening with some very fine mesh ie. tights to capture debris and stop it polluting the water in the tank - netting the brassica is essential to stop birds from pecking at the plants but the pea and bean netting isn't suitable for this purpose plus it is too low. More and taller canes are needed not only around the bed but some with in and topped with eg yoghurt pots to stop the canes coming through the netting. it needs to be taught so birds and animals don't get entwined in it. Pidgeon's will sit on netting weighting it down so they can get to the crops so a good height is essential to stop the blighters. Another method to support netting that is often used on allotments is the blue water pipes arched across the beds with scaffold netting as the cover usually held down securely with bricks. - netting is not going to stop slugs - Gosh your site is very windy I would makes plans now to anchor the grow house down before the autumn/winter winds set in these type of growing structures are not known as 'Blow away tunnels' for nothing. A couple of methods I've seen used to secure them are 1. hammer in by about 18 inches stakes inside the tunnel in each corner and attach the metal frame to them 2. Two or three wide webbing straps thrown over the outside and securely anchored in the ground with very long tent pegs. Combining both of these methods will give a chance of it not blowing away You are making such good progress 👍👍

Very inventive guttering. Well done! I'm sat watching this at home and hoping all you allotment holders are OK. So far today Storm Lillian has blown my tomatoes and cucumbers over and flipped my greenhouse window backwards over into my neighbours garden. Goodness only knows how your site is. I'm keeping everything crossed your site survives 😮

You are doing a fantastic job, keep up the great work. Can I just say from your first video to this one you look so much happier, you have a real excitement in your voice now, well done you. 🤩

For a new allotment site it’s very tidy 👍👍. Great magic for the win even if it’s not cabbage 😂. Those trays always remind me of old ice cube trays. Yeahhhh 🎉 seedling action it is such a thrilling feeling isn’t it to see your first babies come up. Keep up the awesome work Rome wasn’t built in a day either. Happy gardenin, Ali 🌞🥵35c🇨🇦

Love the jerry-rigged guttering!! Hope it worked great. The plot is coming along nicely, just remind yourself how much further ahead you be next year! Just keep plugging away!!!

Yeah first I. The comment section, you know I love that!!!
