I've been watching your channel from the beginning, and I think this is one of the first videos wherein you haven't mentioned the nettles. You've put in so much work, and your plot has come so far. For some reason, adding the bird feeder makes it seem like you've finally settled in. It's genuinely really inspiring to see you crack on with your work in spite of the difficult start, and I hope you have a fruitful summer ahead. Thank you for sharing your garden with us. 💖

Suggest you plant tomatoes much deeper...all the way to the first leaf...stems will root and provide a better base for the plant...Google and read all about it :). I enjoy your channel and watching you work so hard to establish your allotment!! Good work!

Your garden gets lovelier every Time. Also, you must have the best and kindest comment section ive seen in a long Time... Everybody Is behaving. It Is refreshing. Like we say in our country "toco madera" so it stays the same and i wont jinx it

Your garden has come a long long way from when you started it! Bravo! Your hard work is paying off!

The allotment looks great. Love all the birds dropping by for a feed. Great work

Plot is looking fantastic, you'd never believe what it looked like just a few months ago - powerhouse! Looking forward to seeing how you get on with those tomato pots 😀

I love your happiness with the birds. I'm the same way. I need to move my bird feeder to a different spot because no birds have gone to it where I put it initially. I figured that spot would be a problem for me. I love the pink shade of your pots that you've painted. It's absolutely beautiful. Your garden is more beautiful by the "day".

Those holes in the pots look perfect for holding the stakes, but they're actually the drainage holes! For self watering pots, the drainage hole is up high so that *some* water pools in the bottom but if it gets *too* soggy the water can drain out there... only problem is you've now plugged them with the stakes 🙃🙈

Greetings, The music is so lovely... I, too, love the birds! Cheers, Upstate NY

Don't worry Seren ☺. The ground feeding birds, dunnock, blackbirds will clean up the mess on the floor. Also make sure to tie the feeder on if you think there are squirrels 🐿 about, they'll steal it. Sending love and light 🌻🌺🌾🌱 xx

Your garden is coming along Seren…yay 👏🏽👏🏽 I’ve read somewhere that if you want your onions to bulb out just fold over the green stems in half, it triggers for the onion to concentrate on the bulb 🧅, rather than producing leafy green. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ Worth a try. 😎

I out a list of seeds I’m interested in on my Christmas Wish list. My daughter then goes online and buys from a small seed company called Real Seeds(based in Wales I think). They are open pollinated seeds, also they have a good range of ‘unusual’/heirloom varieties which I like to try. From my usual long list she chooses half a dozen that she fancies eating after I’ve grown them! Sometimes it’s the name or even the colour of the seed that takes her fancy! Generally you only get a ‘few’ seeds but at a very good price. Let’s face it, no one needs 100 tomato seeds in a packet! Anyway, I grew a yellow/orange plum type tomato last year (called Orange Banana or something similar). It grew exceptionally well outside on a south facing wall in a bed only 9inches wide! And it tasted wonderful. So this year it’s a tomato year! She bought me 6 different varieties with names like Purple Ukraine, Feo De Riogordo, Jen’s Tangerine, Blue Fire, Black Cherry and one other - (can’t remember the name). I am awash with tomato seedlings but not one of them is a red one!

You could try using plastic domes over seedlings you plant out to keep the slugs away. At least at the beginning and then eventually remove them. The domes can be anything that’s clear plastic. I save supermarket cake containers and use the top part. These also act as mini-greenhouses. I usually make a few holes in the top so they don’t get too hot and water can get in.

A hair dryer will help you remove stuck labels. (Next time, when you're at home, and have electricity...)

I have watched every episode of your channel so far, and I am not a garden person. (I'm too afraid of snakes to do anything remotely like garden. I once freaked out over a very scary nightcrawler. LOL) Anyhow, what I love about your channel (aside from your lovely personality) is that you saw this plot in ruins, could see its potential, and then set out to make it happen. And you didn't do it by buying loads of new items, you used what you had available and bought things as necessary. I completely applaud your efforts, it looks amazing.

Coucou Encore une belle vidéo bravo À bientôt

Beefsteak tomatoes are my fav. Big, thick slice on the plate with torn mozzarella, some basil and a little olive oil. Beautiful.

Just a thought love! Putting down a black tarp across the floor of the green house, especially with the pots to press it firmly down, should kill off weeds! They cant live without sunlight forever and exhaust themselves to death under the plastic, and it saves you having to pull anything up :) Marestail's best friend is sunlight, that's why its thriving in the glass greenhouse :)

Your allotment has come such a long way. ❤️❤️

All your hard work is paying off Seren .Plots looking so good planted up 🎉

Once you are set up I can see you bringing a sketch book to the garden to sketch birds.

Growing up (in the northwest USA), my dad would stock our feeder with a mixed birdseed. The English Sparrows would rummage through for the millet, which they preferred, and scatter all the sunflower seeds into the lawn. So yeah, birds can be messy eaters.

I absolutely love my visits to your garden! The only thing better would be to travel from 🇨🇦 and see it in person.😊

🐝thanks for the great video🌻

Well done

Nice trolleyload of plants Seren 😁

Really pleased for you seren it's looking spot on take care. ✨✨

Brave wearing white 😉

I was hoping to know if you have been able to get your bike fixed? And the allotment is looking amazing! Think how far you have come!

I would suggest getting some greenhouse shade netting, your plants would really appreciate it.

You certainly got a lot done! I’m wondering how long it will be before you bang your head on that bird feeder though! 🤭😉

Amazing work Seren 💕 x

Hi your allotment is looking great, I have the same problem in Iceland with Mare´s tail and I was advised to put lime down as mare´s tail favours acidic soil!! Good luck Dee

The plot looks amazing! What a transformation.

Hi Auto Tray Quick-Clean Seed Tray The perfect accessory for Aspects 2 3/4 inch diameter Quick-Clean feeders! Tray catches falling seeds and reduces debris underneath feeders. Enjoy feeding and watching birds while preventing unwanted pests from eating the seed with the Clear WoodLink Hanging Squirrel Baffle. Hoop Seed Catcher & Platform Feeder , Wild Bird Seed is a distinctive bird seed, specifically designed to deter squirrels from feeding at your bird feeder. This bird seed is treated with expertly formulated hot pepper sauce, making it unappetizing to squirrels but still nourishing for birds. It's a thoughtful approach to keeping your feathered friends fed and your yard free from squirrels. According to some widely circulating advice, they can be disinvited to the party by placing crushed eggshells around plants. The rationale is that crawling over the sharp edges will deter an invasion.

You have done such a good job with your plot, it is looking beautiful.

Love watching your posts you have done amazing plot looks wonderful , interested in your Tomato pots I use greenhouse sensation ones which are fab . 🌼🍅🥕

wd 40 or similar lubricating oil will get the sticky residue off from your stickers on your pots. just rubs off

It's coming on nicely ❤

Glad the copper barriers are working well. Excited about the bird feeder too! Well done

Moist it's a lovely word 😊

That large nice wooden frame holding down the tarp is a frame for a barrel composter...they are nice...might want to Google it...read about how to make and fit a replacement barrel for it...nice nice piece of kit. !!! :)

Do you know Black Russian is a tiny cherry tomato? I got fooled by the picture on the packet too, thought they'd be big uglies but no they are delicious but cherry tomato sized. 😂❤🤤

I love your fascination with the wee birds, Seren. I love birds, too. Your feeder should attract a lot to your garden, but they will fling the seeds around, as they go for their favourite seeds. Those new tomato pots look great, it will be interesting to see how they do. Your plants are looking great! You have done so much work and it really shows! ❤️🇨🇦

Seren, I use gro bags for my tomatoes.

Thanks for the update Seren, you are a joy, I love your enthusiasm - Strawberry Blonde marigolds are made for you !

You truly are doing such a good job bless you.

the stem with the bulb near the top of your garlic are called garlic scapes,they are really good in stir fries you can also make a pesto from them.

Excellent ! .... as Mr Burns would say .

Do not be affraid to plant tomatoes deep up the stem, especially when leggy. They are a plant that actually benefits from this. The stalks will create extra roots instead of suckers.

My new favourite garden channel :)

You're doing a great job 🌿 it's good to see things finally going out and hopefully producing 🍅🥔 it's been chucking it down all day here 🌧️ did a bit of weeding tho while the ground was so damp 🌿 love from Whitby 💜

Seren your naturally green fingered, the plot is so beautiful....i love the detail looks so natural and so well put together. The bird feeder was the cherry on the cake....Perfect!

You have accomplished so much

Those tomato pots look great. I don’t see why they wouldn’t work OK. 🧡

Hi Seren, i have to agree that the strawberry blonde marigolds are really nice, i have some for the garden to. The yellow ones just look too manufactured. Happy gardening. David

Invest in an "autopot" system for your tomatos. You won't regret it.

Strips of aluminum foil wrapped around the main stem will ward off the root grubs

Egg shells are supposed to keep slugs and snails at bay.

Looking amazing seren, with my tomatoes i feed from the top and water from the bottom i sit my pots in plastic trays about four inches deep then just fill the trays up with water ,i start to feed once the first fruits have appeared

I will have to look for the strawberry blonde marigolds. See, I have learned something new from you! Thank you.

Your garden looks amazing! Love the birdfeeder..😊 I also grow lots of tomatoes! 😋 Love from Holland! 🍅🍓🥔🧅🫛

I use similar self watering pots for my cherry tomatoes and they do great in them. I think you’ll be happy with the results.

Great to see how much progress you have made. Your hard work has paid off. You must be really pleased with how it is all going. Good job!

Awesome ❤

My wife needs a minder when she goes to the Garden Centre or we will be eating instant Ramen noodles for a week. Budget Smudget she says. Well done, your plot is looking great.

Your garden is looking amazing! (Just a few suggestions) The greenhouse will get too hot for the tomato plants and most other plants without proper ventilation. I've had to install 2 fans inside my small greenhouse (one to bring cool air in and another to push hot air out) and also had to remove 2 of the side panels so the summer heat doesn't cook my plants. Tomato's love love love calcium supplement also which prevents bloom rot from the bottoms of the tomato fruit. You can tell if they start getting bloom rot because the bottom of the tomato will turn black and is a sign of calcium deficiency in the soil. Looking forward to seeing how your beautiful allotment plot progresses! You've done so much in a short amount of time!

I suggest collecting eggshells dry them out in a low temperature oven then crumble them around you plant. Slugs can’t climb over the eggshells

For the first time evvvveeeerrr my tomato plants were all (90%) eaten by slugs. So I have to wait and put out the spares. Looking great Seren and should be a productive season. Happy gardening Ali 🌧️🌥️🇨🇦

Hi Seren, great work! Those copper rings do work but make sure you bury them just slightly so the slugs can't burrow under them and maybe cut off some lower leaves from the plants so they can't be used as bridges. Good luck!

Slugs love my Dalias buggers x

Great place for the bird feeder, especially when your in the greenhouse or sat in your soon to be seating area. This time of the year becomes a bit overwhelming with everything to do. It might worth investing in some form of shading for the greenhouse to help with temperatures (I use 2 blinds that use suction cups to attach to the window) had mine for 5 years and just replaced the suction cups. Much easier than the shade paint.

Copper tape for the win! Told you it would work 👍❤️

Love those tomato pots where did you get them please.

You're doing really well.

When the Coal Tit (I think) was at the feeder there was also something in the bushes at the right-hand edge.

Acetone (fingernail polish remover) can help you clean the labels off. Score the label so it seeps underneath.

Very nice, i like self watering containers, i use them in my grow tent for my peppers! I unfortunately can't really use flowers around my plants due to quite severe allergies :( Glad to see the garden is coming together, quite unfortunate about the slugs, I have a friend who constantly gets invaded by them lol Very proud of you, keep it up ❤

Love your posts. Looking forward to every vlog. ❤

haha mOiSt,,, interesting, me too but with the german translation of moist. its just as icky. i wont mention it here. bye!

Beans are cheap and easy to grow by directly sowing seeds. No need to transplant.

i am jealous the slugs didnt eat your potato. but you get ducks and maybe hedgehogs at night eating them probably, removing that cardboard and plastic was a good idea. here its never ending battle of making sure there are no slug hiding places. they just come in from the neighbour anyway. I wish i had an allotment to grow more now. I am only growing berries now, not even space for potato pots anymore, the strawberries multiply crazy 🤔

Hi Seren and thanks for sharing your video. Just wondering if you could explain as to why you don't like the word "Moist". Much appreciated, T. I. A....

Doing a good job and it shows. Would suggest planting tomatoes deeper though. .

😀😀

The marigolds match your hair. I think they are a very pretty colour.

👍🦋☀️🍅🍅💚

Use WD40 on stubborn stickers , they fall of after a spray......

WD40 gets sticky labels off.

Can I please ask were you got the pots from, iv searched and everywhere is out of stock. Thank you x

Labels on pots. Ugh. Well annoying.

You're gonna end up with so many weeds under that bird feeder 😂😂

I found out recently that, if you pull a snail off a surface, you cause their 'seal' major damage and they die! I'm so upset about this! 😢
