It’s so cute, isn’t it, and so handy. I wish I knew it’s whole story and why certain windows were bricked up etc Robins are the nation’s favourite garden bird ❤️

I don’t have many that have come up at all. I’m debating planting some more, I know It’s late but I’m worried 😂

I have high hopes, Sinéad, we deserve a better season! A nice warm spring would be wonderful wouldn’t it. Here’s hoping ❤️❤️ I also hope your parsnips are WHOPPERS! 🙏🏻🙌🏼

A local nursery to us sells 2 year old plants. We bought several last year, May buy more this year. In theory going to be able to harvest a bit from them already this year! Madness I cannot imagine hitting 10k. That would be mad.. especially given so many have subbed on the “transformed” shed video. 🤯

Wow! That’s a big undertaking to do it all by hand 😮

Do you get Rowlo outlet in Ireland? (Rowlinson Timber). This was from them and so cheap. That flooring has lasted so well too. Keeps the shed floor dry

I can’t remember what cage there was now.. will have to watch 😂

​@TheFarmyardGarden just a little wooden structure with mesh I think it is. I'm just after adding to my spud order - the sarpo miro that you mentioned, forgot to order it, ph my husband is going to kill me 😂

@ oh I know what you mean now. I made that to go over carrots really but it was re-purposed 😂 I love the Sarpo Mira. I’m dropping King Edward’s this year now. Sarpo Mira hold together once boiled (perfect), whereas the king Edward’s fall apart

She’s very lucky that my inability to not go overboard and escalate any plans also gained her more growing space than originally spoken about 😂😂😂😂

We call it twitch grass here but there’s a lot in our actual lawn and pretty much in the paddock too. I’m stunned more hasn’t come through the beds to be honest. Very lucky 😅 We are extending the plot this year, so more grass to put beds over 😅😅😅

Oh that’s a shame. I know Maiju, from Spuds & Roses had issues with canker in very young fruit trees. Think they had to be removed.. or maybe just harshly pruned. Can’t recall now.

Your tunnel sounds amazing! 40ft long, twice the size of mine. Envious of all that undercover space. I love the centre bed, especially in the height of summer with the doors open. Just beautiful 😍😍 The list is ever growing isn’t it? I thought I’d finished the garden but there’s a lot of changes coming before spring here too 🤯😂

How clever was your uncle?! That’s a step beyond my ability (and there wouldn’t be enough marriage counselling to get us through designing our own!) Such a shame if it gets ruined now. I imagine it was very productive for the years he enjoyed growing in it. Sorry for your loss 🤗

Loved building it. It means a lot being so connected to your own growing space. 🤩😍

We did, thank you. I hope you did too? Happy New Year 🥳🎉 I love it when people look back over old videos, as it reminds me of all the things we’ve created along the way. Someone watched the first ever video the other day. Made me watch it.. painful 😂🤭

Thanks you! I hope there isn’t many. I asked it to only put one in 😩😂

Steal away! I love that big archway. It worked so well, even though it wasn’t the best season for pumpkins last year. I hope to have it properly covered over this year. I’m willing is to have a good season 😂🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

So many jobs to do and there’s less time than we think before spring silly season hits. Soon be hectic. I do love the deep root trainers. They’re so clever and really make things so much better for things like beans and peas. Hope we have a great sowing and growing season. Happy New Year. Thanks for watching 🥳 ❤️

You’re welcome. Love sharing the garden with you. Happy New Year Sylvi ❤️

Happy New Year to you too, Bethan. Thankfully it’s a lot better than when I was filming. I’ve got some new rocker sole shoes which help a lot and have been rolling my foot on a spiky ball which helps immensely. It’s blooming lovely to get sowing some seeds but doesn’t feel like it was 12 months ago when we were doing it before 😱😂

Wow. Thank you ☺️

Wow. An ice storm sounds a bit extreme! We have rain, lots of rain here now. 😩 I did my onions last week too and have ordered lots of flower seeds today. I am hoping for a cut flower bed this year. I went all in last year and had far too many chillies and pepper plants. It was ridiculous. I’m also trying to show restraint this year.. whilst being equally unable to not bow to FOMO 😂 Happy New Year to you too ❤️

I enjoy enabling another gardener to spend their money 😂😂😂 containerwise.co.uk/product/huw-richards-hr10/ They’re the Huw Richard’s 10 cell from container wise. You do have to order a minimum of 5 things from them though.. so do your worst and get clicking “add to basket” 😂😂😂😂

You enable her enough!!!!

@@TheLottiePlottie I didn’t click it was Emily 😂

@TheFarmyardGardenthat was very evident 😂😂

Two West & Elliot. They’re so cheap! I love them ❤️

I’ve been resting a lot and trying not to squat down on my tip toes next to the beds etc. I have also bought some rocker shoes that seem to be helping massively.. along with the spiky rubber tennis ball to roll my foot on It’s certainly a challenge. Poor dog hasn’t been for as long a walk as normal. 😩😩

I should have made a point of mentioning the sky. It’s been grey and miserable ever since. I’m leaving my aubergines for a bit as they got so big before I could put them out last year. February for me this time 🫣😬 I have so many bulbs coming up. Bit worrying with the forecast 🙈 Keep warm there too. Take care ❤️

Thanks Christine. I’ll be sowing my aubergines in February this year. They grew so big, so quickly, that I was trying to fit mature plants under lights, along with everything else. Got stressful 🫣😂

It’s been brewing on and off for months. I think I caused it by squatting at the side of beds for prolonged periods of time. Weirdly a long walk on New Year’s Eve seems to have cured my right foot but really aggravated my left. I have a spiky rubber Pilates ball for the foot and a massage gun. It’s not as tender now, so I am able to physically cope with using both. Like you, bare feet are a no-no. Skechers with a nice soft heel and arch support help on the house, especially as we have filed floored downstairs throughout. I’ve just bought some “rocker” shoes and they seem to be doing wonders too. They only arrived yesterday but I have high hopes. I’m not limping as much already. Sorry to hear you’ve suffered too. It’s like treading on an iron bar with every stride under the foot. Ouchies! Happy New Year to you and Al x

@TheFarmyardGarden I try to remember my kneeler when I'm doing any in ground beds....but I get in a hurry. I do find now that if my calf tightens up on the side I had the issue....then I need to take it easy for a bit and keep working it out. I think my enemy was the dankso clogs that I loved to wear. But who knows.

Mine is probably gardening in shoes with less than ideal arch support. We live and learn. 😩😭🤗🤗

Ooo you’re doing well with the pepper at home. I was going to overwinter a habanero but didn’t get around to it before a surprise frost got to the plant 😬 I love cabbage. Just ordered some broccoli seeds too that are supposed to be ok in the summer. Here’s hoping we all have a good growing season in 2025. Happy New Year 😊

-10° 🥶🥶😱 I’d be by the fire too, Trude! Proper winter. ❄️ I’m the same as you, the peppers/chillies/aubergines were stressful last year as they were all just so big way before they could go outside. I resorted to putting some out earlier than I should and they really struggled with the temperature overnight. Hoping that by growing them later, I can let them grow well without constantly holding them back to slow them down. I’ve just ordered the habanada seeds, Kim recommended, as they’re also full taste with no heat. That sounds ideal for our family. We quite like the jalapeno mammoth from last year too, so will start ghat again in February. 8k is unbelievable! Such a sub boost. Next video is going to be about the wash house, I know you (and 106k other people) enjoyed that one 🤩❤️❤️❤️ Happy New Year. Stay warm x

Thank you. I’m glad you liked it. It’s just a little self flying Hover Air drone. I can’t be trusted with anything I have to control myself 😂

Mine did ok last year but I did forget one batch when we had an unexpected -9 in the tunnel. Won’t make that mistake again. They mostly survived that episode but looked super sad for a while I’ll grow some more in spring too. I just love them. Poor Duncan will be having to double dose on the hayfever tablets 😬🫣 Can’t resist that cabbage! Had to be done. So lovely of Allie & Tricia to send the seeds ❤️

Hello 👋🏼 Always lovely to welcome new faces to the community. I look forward to sharing my garden with you over the year and exchanging stories of how things are doing ❤️

Lovely to hear from you! Hope you have a wonderful growing season for 2025. Happy New Year. Sweet peas were such a joy last year. I’m looking forward to them again. Just ordered a lot of zinnia seeds, cut flower bed is looming!

@TheFarmyardGarden ooh a cut flower bed will be lovely. I'm good thanks. Hoping 2025 is better growing for me. Starting earlier will be nice. No big plans, just keep myself going. Hope you have a great season.

They really are great! I’m very pleased with them. I’ll be sowing aubergines a bit later, February 1st this year. They grew so quickly last year, I really struggled to keep them indoors as mature plants by April 😂

Happy New Year Allison. Here’s to a great one for us all ❤️

Crazy times Ady! I’m trying to hold off until February 1st for most things, as I got a bit overcrowded and spring was very late in warming up last year. What are you starting now? I have some Oca for you and Jane too

@TheFarmyardGarden Thank you Clare that would be great, starting onions, jalapenos and tomatoes later in the month.

I’ve already sown onions. I have high hopes this year 😂🙏🏻

Oh wow! Now that’s an excellent piece of advice! That would be a nasty shock 😳 😭🫣

@TheFarmyardGarden He wasn't known for using bad language, but he came out with words I had never heard pass his lips before 😀

Ha!!! I would imagine it would teach anyone some new vocabulary! Similar happened to my dad one summer. He was drinking from a can of cola and hadn’t seen a wasp go inside the can. Stung his mouth. I’ve always kept a cover on drinks for this reason since. I’ll now be finding a box for my gloves 😳😬😬

I remember my Dad having a similar experience when I was a child. He put his foot into a clean pair of socks straight out of the drawer and a wasp stung his big toe! Unfortunately he had to drive from Durham to Blackpool to play in a brass band competition later that day. He was in such agony, poor Dad. (I used to keep my gloves in a sealed container but found they went a bit mouldy. I’ve been leaving the lid off but will in future give them a bit of a shake before plunging my hand in.)

@ ouch! Your poor dad! I’m properly put off now 😂😳😱 I’ll be keeping the house now I think. Duncan will be thrilled 😂

FOMO is strong Linda, so strong! 😂 I’m sorry to hear about AF. I was suffering for the early part of last year with continual palpitations, although I stayed in a perfect rhythm on an ECG. Friend of mine had AF for months and eventually had an ablation. Been ok now since. 🙏🏻 PF - it’s like stepping on an iron bar with each stride. 😭😭 On the plus side, some rocker shoes arrived yesterday and they seem to be helping. Have you tried them? I think all the squatting I do next to raised beds have caused it to niggle. It’s why I’m trying to use the kneeling pad lately. Add aubergines to your list and luffa seeds if you’re growing any. If you want some seeds, drop me an email and I’ll send you some from mine last year. I’ve checked them for viability by chitting. I’ve plenty spare. Email in my about info. Here’s to a fab season ❤️

​@TheFarmyardGarden Clare that is so kind of you! ❤ I only have a small wooden greenhouse with perspex windows so don't know if I could grow loofahs? My AF and PF are both under control thank you but they made me re-evaluate my working life. I was standing for up to 11 hours a day (NHS pharmacy technician) so I took the plunge and retired 2 years early. My kitchen garden is invaluable to me as I'm a doer not a sitter 😂 I'm really looking forward to the growing season. Thank you for all your advice and support 😊

Glad that you have it all control. I love that you were able to re-evaluate life and take that early retirement. Quality of life is so important and the garden is a wonderful place to potter and enjoy a quieter pace of life. I’ve never felt more free, yet I am leaving the farm less than ever these days (mainly just to visit garden centres 🤭) You might struggle with luffa, as they’re quite vigorous climbers. Shame. Another on your could try if you have an archway (as they will grow well outside) are birdhouse gourds. I’m growing them this year on my pumpkin archway.

@TheFarmyardGarden I'll look into that! Thank you. I've 'retired' on a small pension, but being at home is definitely worth it. I'm never in the house in the growing season. My family encouraged/forced me to retire early 😆 apparently I was moaning a lot. Rude!

Ha! I did the same! I used to be a dog walker but after Covid and a new puppy, I just didn’t want to go out and walk other peoples’ dogs when my pupper was sat at home missing mamma cuddles. I now run a dog related business from the farm and couldn’t be happier 😍

Excellent! I have already sown my onions and have planted shallots. I may try shallots from seed next year though. Happy New Year and happy growing season ❤️❤️

Wow! That’s some extreme weather isn’t it? Quite windy here last night. We were forecast a heap of snow overnight. All news networks were advising people to ensure they had a few days supply of food in. We’ve had a dusting! Disappointing 😂 I’ll start aubergines very late this month or early February. Mine grew on so quickly last year that they looked so mature by April and still couldn’t go outside 🫣

​@TheFarmyardGarden hmm. Maybe I'll hold back on the aubergines as well. They did come on quickly last year. Glad you didn't get much snow!

They were enormous with such a big spread on them. I didn’t have room for many of them 🙈 I quite like snow but appreciate that, rather selfishly, it doesn’t inconvenience me living/working from home

Ooo that heatless chilli sounds interesting! Flavour without heat would be quite good… especially for someone like me who doesn’t drink milk to cool the after effects if needed 😂🙈 KG third placing…. Not a win but still a win to me if that makes sense 🫢😊 I love sweetpeas. I have so many to sow ❤️❤️

@ 😂 ditto. But I don’t want to miss out on the flavour🥵

Just adding it to my shopping list! Thank you 🤩😊

@ Excellent!

Love that this community helps each other

Hi Tilly. Left handers have to unite! ❤️😂😂 I think squatting next to the beds started it off over spring and summer. I went for a long walk New Year’s Eve and that just did it for my left foot.. agony. Weirdly it cured my right foot though, go figure! I’ve bought some rocker shoes and they seem to be helping (they arrived yesterday). The shoes in this video have a much thicker heel than my usual gardening shoes, which helps. Skechers in the house are the best thing too, so soft under my heel. It’s on the mend thankfully I’ve sown onions already, but I’ll be sowing aubergines properly on February 1st. They grew sooo quickly last year that I was battling with mature plants by the beginning of April that still couldn’t go outside 🙈 Happy New Year and good luck for the growing season ahead.

How exciting!!! I went overboard last January, ended up with 45 plants by March, all in bigger pots taking over everywhere. I plan to be sooo much more restrained this year 😂😂

Hey Sarah. Happy New Year ❤️ We don’t much snow here. The promised deluge never materialised. 😩 I’ll be sowing aubergines February 1st. They grew too fast for me last year, so I’m holding off a month. I’ll also be doing my luffas in February this year too. 😍😍 It really is exciting to start thinking ahead to a new season. Can’t wait for spring now ❤️

@ oh, that’s a shame! Ours is all gone now as it has warmed up a lot today. ❄️ I think I’ll sow aubergines every month and try planting some inside and some outside. Will I manage to grow one this year? Who knows! 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 but the fun is in the process 😃 Not long until spring now! So exited to see everything come to life again and looking forward to following your journey for another year! Happy Sunday, Clare and have a lovely week ahead 😊🪴💚

@ thanks Sarah. I’m watching you stake the Broadbeans as I type…

It’s going to be manic soon! I’m so sorry I didn’t keep them all labelled. I did last year but ended up just whacking them all in together anyway and lost track of which was which then 🙈😂 I’ll be sowing a lot on February 1st. Trying to not let it all take over for an extra month. 😂 Happy New Year

@ no need to apologise! It’s only worth labelling if you’re going to save seed, and even then you’ll be able to distinguish what’s what when they grow 😊 Feb will be here quick as a flash! And the insanity pot shuffle will begin lol

Oh yes! I had sooo many seedlings last year. My plan to start later is to not check them back too much this year, as I did last year, as I’ll have more room hopefully to grow on. Too many varieties last year 😂

@ I knew you had done too many but I have to hand it to you, you grew it all bloomin well! And it was nice seeing it all come to fruition for you! But if anything you not only gained an array of crops you gained a tonne of experience … it’s so easy to forget last year was your first full year ❤️

@ I do like that we’re full circle now though. I am definitely going in to this season feeling a little less overwhelmed by it all… and wiser for sure 😂❤️❤️❤️

Happy New Year. Here’s to a fabulous growing season for us all. 🙏🏻😍 I’ll be starting aubergines February 1st. They grew on so quickly last year, they were just too big to keep in the house for months 🫣

I will do. Next video on this building is a week tomorrow 😊

I would LOVE to sort the door out but totally understand it’s too cold/damp to do it now. I can’t believe how solid it is for how old it is.
