What variety of blueberries is that please
Hey Stella 👋 it's a brigaitta blue 🫐💜
@@thetinygarden_ thank you i am going shopping 😁
@StellasVegetablegardens yes 🙌🙌 love a garden shopping trip!! 🛍🫐 did you find the brigaitta blues or another variety? 🌱
@@thetinygarden_ I got the brigattas 2 plants 🤗😜🤪 did you use normal or erichaceous compost?
@StellasVegetablegardens oh how exciting 🤪🙌 I am so happy for you!!
I got them for my birthday last year, this is their first year fruiting. The blooms on my channel banner are from these plants back in April 🌸
I used normal compost with a mixture of egg shells and spent coffee grinds....hindsight is telling me I should have used ericaceous because they look hungry now 🫣
Hi, your blueberries look like they are iron deficient. You can buy an soil acidifier and iron treatment for them.
Thank you for the stopping by, that's super helpful information thank you!! 🙌🌱
Tanaman yang sangat bagus dan subur terimakasih sudah berbagi
Thank you 🌱🙃
If your courgette start to look like they need a boost. Rather than pot up, as its difficult. Sit the pot in a grow bag. The roots will pop out of the bottom of the pot. 😊
Wow what a fab tip, I never thought of that!! Thank you!! 🙃🌱
I love your tiny garden!! So pretty and well tended.
Thank you so much Diane!! 🤗
Ooh! I love the organza bag idea! Thank you! I have loads of them from a lovely online perfumier! 😊
They're perfect and saves trying to net the whole cane!! 🙌
I was planning to use some for bagging my tomato and pepper blossoms so that I can save the seeds without cross-pollination occurring. But I'm sure I have enough for both tasks. 😊
I am from South Africa and I must say your garden makes me so excited about spring in September. I also have a tiny space but this motivates me to see how much I can grow with good planning.
Hey Catherine 👋 thank you so much! I am glad you found inspiration! I love plants and planning has really helped this year. Last year, I planted so much that there wasn't any room to walk around the beds 🤭😅
@@thetinygarden_ ohhhh gosh 😂😂 I need to feed six people so that may be me this year. But will be using many of your tips going forward.
Beautiful garden. I don’t grow flowers but those purple ones were so pretty
Thank you! I am trying a bit more with the flowers this year 🌸 the purple ones are called a lobelias 💜
Hi you have a beautiful garden 🌻 I'm a new subscriber.
Hi 👋 awh thank you so much 🤗🌱
Hi my dear friend it’s always wonderful watching such a wonderful video on gardening. I love the garden tour today. Have a beautiful garden. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy, and Debbie. Keep those awesome videos coming my way.
Welcome to the channel 🤗 thank you for your lovely message, I am thrilled you both enjoyed the video 🌱🙃
Amazing fruits and vegetables, I'm always Looking forward to see what you gonna show us next. Hard work pays off.
Thank you! It is a bit of a weird season we're having here, somethings have really taken of and others I'm still waiting on 🙈 thank you again for tuning in Pam 🌱🤗
Hi Laura ,
Not been on over the weekend ,had the grand kids ,full time job lol ,
Miss um like crazy when they gone but i need my me time ,
Garden looking grate sweet ,your doing really well ,u deffinatly have green fingers ,
Hey Janet 👋 that is so nice, I bet they keep you busy!! That's it, time to relax now with a cuppa! Thank you so much 💖 lovely to hear from you!
@@thetinygarden_ aw thanks love ,yes they sure do love ,but a nice busy ,
I actually hate it when they go ,even tho I get tired and exausted ,being older now and I'll, takes it out of me ,
But I'd be lost without them ,
Keep Me on my toes ,keep me young ,
I really did enjoy going around ur garden with u ,every thing growing so well ,
I'm sort of planning what going where stage at the min ,
I do have stuff growing and I have planted some radish today and some more carrots,
There kids growing seeds ,grow quicker ,so looking forward to watching them grow with the kids ,
Ella was so excited at the sunflowers at the weekend they really have grown tall but no flowers yet ,hopfully soon
Any way take care til next time ,
Beautiful garden , just shows what you can grow , no matter what size your garden is . Puts me to shame ☺️
Hey Lorrainne 👋 thank you, it's really coming along now! The size can sometimes be a problem but only because I want more 🤭🌱 thanks for tuning in!
Plant Chives close to your cherry tree. Chives will keep Aphids away. Mary golds helps for Nematodes.
Oh wow thank you for the tip, I have a massive chunk of chives I need to find a home for I will pop some a round my new cherry tree bed 🤩
Wow marigolds are beautiful and even on a video the colours jump. Our dog absolutely loves blueberries 🫐. The squashes in small pots if you have to pot on just like someone else said pop it either in the bigger pot or a grow bag. I’m trying an experiment with the blueberries in pots, cutting the pot bottom off with a dremel tool and then putting the pots in the ground 🤞🤞🤞. Tomatoes 🍅 look superb and huge trusses 👍. Great tour Laura and so much going on ❤. Have a super week ahead, Ali 🌞🇨🇦
The grow bag comment is such a good idea! They definitely need a nutrient boost but if I am completely honest, with my skill set I didn't expect them to survive 😅 I love a garden experiment and I can't wait to see the results in your upcoming videos 🫐💜 Thank you as always! 🌱🤗
That’s a great wee garden you have I’ve just retired and decided to have a go I’m building some raised bed can’t wait for things to grow .jim😊
Hey Jim 👋 thank you so much! I really enjoyed building my beds I did some new ones over the winter and it's so exciting to see everything grow! Good luck I am sure you will love it!!
Hi Laura, to help your Cherry tree with the aphid problem, you could try using some Neem oil mixed with a tiny bit of dish soap and spray your tree. The Neem oil is completely organic and a little dish soap will not hurt your tree. Also a good aphid eater are true ladybugs 🐞 Your cherry tree otherwise looks healthy and should be fine making it through the winter 😀 👍
Hey Julie 👋 thank you so so much, I didn't want to spray it but if this neem oil is organic I must try it! I tried dish soap and hosing the leaves but I don't think the water pressure was strong enough to blast them away! I did have one ladybird visit the tree but I haven't seen him for a while 🐞😅🌱
@@thetinygarden_
Hi Laura
I have a small orchard where I live and have used Neem oil on my trees and it has done well for them, it is recommended that you spray now for the infestation and then again in the spring when the trees start to come out of dormancy, that way any eggs or developing larvae will be stopped in their tracks 😁. Best of luck to you, you're doing a wonderful job in your beautiful little garden 🙃👍
@julieg1270 thank you so much this is so helpful, I really thought the tree was going to be a gonner! I did read about the eggs being laid in autumn and over wintering till spring! I was expecting the bugs to leave in June to feast on other things but they just hung around! Thanks again 🤗🌱
@@thetinygarden_
You're very welcome 😉
That stem growing from the end fruit of those tomatoes was SO bizarre. Never seen anything like that, lol. Everything is looking amazing though, Laura! The purple and blue flowers in the separate pot below the tomatoes are mesmerizing. Just gorgeous!
Isn't it so strange!! I have had a few more since and had to keep a keen eye and chop them off so the plant doesn't waste energy! Thank you, that is so kind 🙃🌱 I am so pleased with those little flowers, I didn't really think much of small petals but I absolutely love them, a must for next year!
Spray neem oil diluted with water. It works wonders.
I heard about neem oil, thanks for reminding me!! 😊
Hi Laura....new subscriber here.....everything is looking great in the garden! Your raspberries are far ahead of mine......lovely video.....Will😃💪
Thanks Will, the garden is getting there! Raspberries are nearly done now, can't wait for the rest 🤗🌱
It could be a mega bloom it happens if flowers meld together I would leave it 🍅🍅
And I’d defo harvest some bottom leaves off the kale 🥬
A mega bloom!! 🤩I am very excited to see what happens to it!
I am so pleased with the Kale, last years crop was the same size as the baby leaf spinach!
I’ve just discovered your channel. How fantastic! Well done and I’ll be tuning in all the time now as I’ve subscribed 🎉
Hey Julie, so glad you enjoyed the video! Be sure to tune into this weeks video there is a giveaway! Hope to see you there 🥳all the best, Laura
Will do x
Blueberries taste soooo much better homegrown to the point I don't even buy shop bought ones anymore.
Very jealous of your potatoes, they look so healthy compared to mine!
Love how you use loads of containers. Must be a killer to water though!
Ali is great isn't she! She's always giving top notch advise!
Its all looking so healthy and lush! Happy Gardening!! 🌱🌱
I feel like that about lots of things 😆 I didn't buy tomatoes for that same reason for a good while during the winter 🤣
Oh dont be jealous this is my second attempt at main crop spuds, you should see my first attempt at main crop potatoes 🥲 🤣
@thetinygarden_ you and me both, I don't eat fresh tomatoes all year until I get my own. They ain't the same!!
Well you've grown a cracking lot of spuds this year! Can I ask where your located? I wanna say Essex or Kent? 😆😖 so sorry if I'm wrong!!
🌱🌱
Looks amazing Laura! Really impressed with how its turnning out! Pulled my 4 container potatos today and sadly full of scab. Think the drought and lack of watering hasnt helped. First time ive ever had scab! Nevermind redone Sarpo Blues for Xmas!
Lee that's terrible news I am gutted for you 😔it really has been a weird one for the weather. Sarpo Blue look amazing, I have never seen them before...I must see if I can source these locally and get them into the ground ASAP!🙃🌱
Hey Laura! First time here. Hello from Tennessee USA. 🙋🏻♀️ So nice to meet someone from Ireland! I love your cherry tomatoes. They are beautiful and so healthy looking and bountiful. What are they called?
Hi Cindy 👋 so nice to have you stop by the channel all the way from Tennessee! Thank you for your lovely comment, they are called Red Cherry 🍅 I watch them every day hoping to see them blush 🤭 🌱
Super !
Thank you Jeannie 😊
Beautiful video Laura! 🔥
Hey Scott, thanks so much, can't wait to start picking it all now, hope all is going well with you! 🌱🙃
One of my sunflowers is 8 foot and still growing.
I'd love to enter it into your compaction 😊
Hey Elaine 👋 8 foot wow!!!
It might be a bit cheeky but I think we could enter yours 🤭🏆🌻
I know I can't believe it myself, and I've grown it from seeds
@elainemcgran8828 that's amazing, what an achievment!! Did you feed it with anything?
Your small garden is amazing! I can’t believe how many plants you have in a relatively small area. They are all so healthy and gorgeous. What an inspiration! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your lovely comment, you wouldn't believe I started a year ago with one blue pot and a tomato plant 🍅I guess I caught the bug! I'd love to grow more one day 🌱🙃
Looking good! Xxx
Hey Kathy!! 👋 thank you!! 🤗🌱
It’s too hot here to grow lettuce so I started some lettuce to put under my grow lights in the house. So we will he how that grows
I found lettuce hard to grow last summer, it really does have a hard time trying to germinate if the temps are too high and then it bolts 🙈🌞
Grow lights sound really cool, fingers crossed you get some beautiful lettuce Donna 🤞🥬
The tomato flower is fasciated which means multiple flowers in one head, a little like Siamese twins, in a way. They grow well. Tomatoes that form will be joined and odd shaped. Also do you blanche and freeze any of your harvests for future meals, just thinking about your mangetout, as you had a heap growing.
The tomato was so cool!! I am going to give that variety a go again next year it tasted amazing!! Although I only got a few because of the bad weather we had this summer!
I do! I blanched and froze 3 bags of celery, 1 bag of mange tout and a couple of bags of kale! I also started making chutneys and pickles this year! One day I hope to grow enough that I can start to learn how to can my harvests! 🤞🍂
Your garden looks great, really enjoy your video 😊
Thank you! Thrilled you enjoyed it! 🌱🙃
My cherry was attacked with blackfly this year too, first time in 9 years it's happened, global warming I think is showing us signs
Oh no 😢 really? Hopefully with your tree being a lot older it will bounce back 🤞 the first time in 9 years, that's so interesting.
I thought maybe because it was the second year of having a garden in a fairly built up area it might take a while to establish a balanced ecosystem 🌱
love love love the way your tomato bed looks. one of tomatoes did that this year. my side shoots seem to be growing flowers before they grow leaves 😑
Awh Stella that's so nice of you to say, thank you! I am trying to maximise what I can get in the same space, I am having great fun trying a few things out, hope the radish bulb up nicely and hopefully the bamboo cage can hold up the fruit 😆🌱
@@thetinygarden_ i grew radish but i don’t like it so i just compost it 🫣 😜🤣🤣 I can’t see the purpose of it lol
the kale looks beautiful
Thanks Stella, I am going to pick some of the lower leaves I think!! 🌿🌿
@@thetinygarden_ oohhhh yum 🤤 kale crisps or stir fry? 😃
@@StellasVegetablegardens ohh two recipes I didn't think about!! I was thinking pasta but crisps (they are my favourite 🤫) sounds awesome 👌
@@thetinygarden_ cool 😎
Hey Laura, I already commented but put it in the wrong place 😂
Deleted and here goes again.
Wow just wow, what an amazing job you are doing with your tiny garden. Just look at the variety of produce you are managing to squeeze in. The smile on your face shows how much you are enjoying this. You deserve all the amazing results you are having because you are putting soo much into this. We both learning all the time and plenty of lovely people to always help out with ??? Moments.
Thanks for the mention 🙏🏼 it was actually the other Ali who advised me to take off the extra extension on my tomato extension 😂😂 could have grown into another productive arm, but I didn’t have the space. 😂
Ohhh the celery part made me laugh…. I put 8 stems in some soup the other day 😂 tooo much, only needed 1 or 2 as you mentioned😂
You and your growing space make me smile. Great enthusiasm, 😊
Catch up soon. Allie
Allie!! I am crying with laughter!! You're so funny and so right, I am a massive leaky sponge trying to hold onto all the tips and information. Thank you for the kind words ,the garden is getting there slowly and I can't wait to pick everything!
Oh dear with the celery....was Trish a fan of this recipe? 🤣🤣 I guess you could freeze some for the winter it might keep you guys warm 🤣🤣 Hope you have a great week, talk soon 🤗🌱
No Tricia wasn’t a fan 😂😂, it sat in the fridge till bin day 😂 May pull up some cutting celery today, dehydrated and crush??? Who knows, all this preserving is an extension to the growing stuff. More hours in the day much needed.
Catch you soon. Keep smiling x Allie
Made potato and Leek soup yesterday and that, she and Leo love.
Off to the plot later to see if I can get bashed by some more cucumbers, spikier the better 😂
@@therightpearplot 🤣🤣 poor Tricia 💔 wouldn't it just be fab to be a full time gardener? I can't wait to retire and become a master at growing and preserving food 🤣🤣
The dehydrated celery sounds good, and then you can just take a teaspoon of what you need! Celery freezes well too that's how I preserve it at the minute but I do only have 9 plants on the go 😅😅
Awh that's awesome! I love a spkiey cuke I got my first one the other day 💚🤗
I grew a brilliant cucumber last year, it was called La Diva. They should be a smallish size but as they were very prolific I couldn’t keep up with them and they grew big. I was giving loads away. They were quite crunchy and smooth skinned. I’m definitely growing them again this year.
I have heard that cucumber variety being talked about a lot. I did try an all female cuke but zero germination! I have a new propergator though so that might help if I have any seeds left! I must look up la diva I love a prolific crop recommendation! Thank you 🤩
Everything's looking fab Laura. I had similar looking shoots on a couple of my tomato plants to that one you showed that you weren't sure about.. mine developed into chunky flowers and have set fruit, I think it's just a variety thing as is it different to your other variety on the main frame? Also if you're topdressing the blueberries, are you using ericaceous soil? I sometimes get that yellowing on the leaves too and as you say, this variety turns through to copper as autumn gets closer.
Thank you! That is so good to know 🙌 the one I'm not sure about is a costoluto variety and the ones on the main frame are cherry toms! Fingers crossed it turns into some lush fruit! 🤞🍅 thank you for tuning in!
🫣 I didn't use ericaceous soil!! I am definitely going to need to repot it after the fruit has finish, poor plant 😅
It's all looking fantastic, love the blueberries especially - seems like the dog does too!
Thank you 🤗🌱 awh she is obsessed with fruit her favourites are the raspberries!
Oh i forgot ,to tell u ,
I got myself a ton of soil ,top soil ,so between looking after the kids this weekend ,i been planting ,no stopping me now lol
That's such exciting news, I am thrilled to hear the soil arrived! You must have had a busy few days! I really hope everything grows well for you and fingers crossed you might get some good luck on the carrot germination 🥕 🤞 I am going to try again this week!
@@thetinygarden_ thank u so much ,yes I'm so happy about the soil ,carnt wait get stuck in properly this week ,
Carrots started growing lovely now
3rd time trying ,good job were triers isnt it ,pays to not give up ,

As they usually only stay a weekend but long holls they be here most of the time ,
I wont get much done ,
Enjoy rest of ut week lovely ,
Hey new here but I found I had the same issue last year on my plum tree all the new leafs had leaf curl like your cherry but this year it has done so well no fruit but has lots of new growth and looks so healthy this year so could be the same for yourself next year I find it’s always best to give every plant the benefit of doubt and 99% of the time they survive
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for your comment 🤗 there might be hope for the tree!! 🤞🍒🌱
I grew celery for the first time this year. It was beautiful but it was so bitter that we could not eat it
Homegrown celery can be fairly strong in taste, such a shame it went bitter though 😟 thanks for stopping by again Donna 🌱🤗
I just left a comment asking about height of raised beds & then noticed that the video is 11 months old. So I doubt you'll my question. I'll be watching more videos.... & my answer may be in one. Cheers
Hey Rose I got your message! 😊 Hopefully you got my reply! 🤞
@thetinygarden_ Thanks, I just did. Both replies came in at same time just now.... Technology has it's own timing! Thanks re bed heights. I saw your pic of spuds (potatoes) on Instagram - good for you. Regards.Rose 🌻
I would cut off the ends of the cherry tree with aphids and bring many young ladybugs for the rest. It can be clean soon.
Hey Kristina 👋 I have been hosing it down the last few days, and it seems to be getting a bit better 🤞🤞
Lovely informative video. Thanks. I've just come across you... Liked & Subscribed. You have probably already said in past videos .. so my apologies - what height are your raised beds? Regards. Rose 🌻
Hi Rose 🤗 welcome to the channel thank you for subscribing and saying hello! The raised bed in the middle and the long bed on the back wall were roughly 12-14 inches. The beds with my tomatoes... I'd have to remeasure but I think they were about 18 - 20 inches but it all looks completely different now it's hard to remember exactly 😅🤭
did you use ericacious compost when you potted up your blueberries?..............................brian
Ohh Brian I didn't realise till after 😢 the plan is to rectify the soil situation here ASAP 😳 🙈
Hi i love ur garden. Could I 0lant an apple tree in a pot like u have with ur plum tree. Also our alley way has mice and rats so is it a good idea to plant an apple tree
Thank you Saira 🤗 you could plant an apple tree! If you only plan on having one tree you will want to choose a self fertile variety, otherwise you will need to plant two trees for them to pollinate and fruit properly! If you're using a container like me look out for a dwarf variety ☺️
I don't have much experience with rodent pressure but you could try a cage system at the bottom of the trunk to stop them climbing and gnawing. I'd plant it away from structures so the branches are a few feet clear of things like walls/roofs. That together with a few traps and pick up any dropped fruit might help deter them 🤞🍎
Fruit trees usually take a couple of years from planting before they start to fruit, so them gnawing the bark on the trunk in the first couple of years could be your biggest issue, good luck!! 🍎🤞🍎
@thetinygarden_ ahw thank you. This really helps x
رائع😍
كم عدد الساعات الي تتعرض فيها حديقتك لأشعة الشمس؟
Hey Sarah 👋 the garden pretty much gets full sun all day in the summer! The bed with the brassicas and massive patty pan doesn't get much shade at all and gets the sun from about 7am till about 7/8pm! 🌞😍
@@thetinygarden_ ما شاء الله ساعات طويلة من أشعة الشمس هنيئا لك🔆💛
it's not unusual for trusses of tomatoes to throw another leafy stem after the fruit. just keep removing them...................brian
I am fascinated by how they grow. Great news that it's not unusual, some of these plants are showing some very different growing patterns! Thank you Brian 🌱🙃
May I ask what variety of tomatoes are those I always see people with them and don't know the name
Hey Bianca 👋 of course you can! I have three varieties on the go, in the bed with the bamboo cage I have a cherry tomato called Red Cherry. Then I have two in the bed on the back wall. One is a fast growing salad variety called Latah and a ribbed/slicer variety Costoluto Fiorentino! 🍅😍🌱
Thankyou so so much
I do love your lobelia planters and your sunflower, such a splash of colour! Everything is looking so lush and happy! Beautiful!!! 😄👍💕🌸
@plotno.9 thank you Nanou! Totally surprised with the lobelia I will definitely try this from seed next year, I have fallen in love with it 💜! 🤞 fingers crossed for the sunflower competition 🌻 💛
Where did you get those bags from please ?
Hey Jeanie they are from Amazon, search for fruit trees organza bags ☺️
What zone please? I'm in 10a
Hey Jen I am roughly 9b ☺️
