Thank you for the tour can’t wait to see your garden in summer. I’m sure there will be some new surprises .
It's starting to get exciting now! There's been a lot of hard work thus far, and more ahead, but summer will definitely make up for it :)
Exciting to see all the changes. Looking forward to see more changes this year. 🌸🐝
Looking forward to watching the home garden develop over the next year or so. I like it when new gardens are at that stage where everything looks so neat, but you can get excited about what it’s going to look like when it all starts growing.
It's definitely at that blank canvas stage right now. So many ways to paint it in with plants 😍
Everything is coming together so wonderfully. I'm really enjoying your book and picking things to grow that are useful. Cheers from Canada.
So pleased that you are! 💚 Waving from across the pond 🙂
Things are coming along nicely. Can’t wait to see poly t. up. You really don’t need a pressure canner. I see pickling in your future as well as sauerkraut and kimchi.
You are doing amazing in such a short time, the vegetable area has come ahead leaps and bounds, and the deck wow I’m so glad no one fell through the old one, I know the new one will be so much better being double the size especially when friends and family come to visit. Isn’t it wonderful when friends come to help we were blessed when living in Melbourne with a wonderful friend who helped with so many renovations, my hubby is not a handyman in any way. Enjoy because you deserve time to sit and do so before spring arrives. Cant wait to see it all in summer.
Take care
Lovely to see how you are progressing the garden being just over the water from you with an allotment very close to the harbour in Heysham and a home garden in Morecambe means our growing spaces are very very similar. My main problem at the moment is being able to get out into the garden at all. Working full time means that at this time of year I only have weekends to get things done and frustratingly the weather isn't behaving itself at all, currently its been a lovely day today whilst I'm stuck indoors but this weekend is going to be awful!
Thank you for the link to Mulch Organic, very interesting company and I've been looking for something to work like the really heavy duty weed suppressant fabric that isn't actually just putting more plastic into the environment.
Ohh Tanya! That deck looks amazing, and it is going to be life changing for outdoors enjoyment. Really happy for you! And the rest of the garden looks fantastic! 😍
The new garden is progressing very well. I know it was difficult leaving your last established garden, and also know how rewarding it is to see the new plan coming together and seeing the first plants emerge. Thanks for sharing your excitement and future vison.
Thanks so much Scott! There's a lot of fun in starting a new garden but also a lot of work 😆 Enjoying the process though!
The deck is so gorgeous!!! 😍
It has completely changed the dynamic of that space so much! SO looking forward to making much more use of the area this year 😍
@@Lovelygreens It'll be a perfect spot to enjoy your beautiful garden space!
Great video loved watching it, you have a beautiful garden look forward to next video, thank you.
Beautiful transformation with the new deck!! Congratulations on the new house/garden. Nothing but exciting adventures ahead!
You guys have really been busy, and that new deck, really look forward to seeing it all dressed up with containers. And wow all those "tadpoles", bet that pond is loaded next spring, or even this. Congrats with the poly tunnel, I know you're happy about that. Have a great week ahead.
Lovey to see and learn. Find it relaxing seeing my fruit trees grow.
Excellent video my friend 👍 new friend here 👍 Love the greenery 👌 Thank you for sharing 👍
Looking great! I have the Insta pot max and it actually does pressure canning automatically! It was about $100 but there’s also one by Nesco that is much simpler and I believe is only 60 bucks. Although in my opinion broth is really the only thing worth pressure canning, I think green beans, meat and corn are better frozen. If you are wanting to do high acid foods like jams, pickles and tomatoes then all you really need is an enormous stockpot 😊
My growing conditions are similar to yours so I really appreciate the information and tips you share.
Thanks Charles :)
Lots of progress in not much time. You two have been busy. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Tanya Lovely Greens :) You are certainly going to be busier than the busiest busy Bee this year. ( Try saying that after a couple of pints LOL)... Looking forward to seeing all your progress and pinching a few of your ideas. Your sunny warm smile gives your seedlings a head start im sure . Bye!!!!
Congrats on the poly tunnel & location, close to the house. The decking matches the grey stone on your home perfectly - NICE! Very interesting gardening/home content - thanks!
Awesome new deck!
So excited for you with all the prep 🤗
Loved the tour and what progress you've made. I havent sowed anything yet, its been so cold and windy here in southern Scotland. I'm continuing with my no dig beds on the allotment, getting it ready for planting. You have so many exciting projects Tanya, both ponds to look forward to and I envy your frogspawn already. None in my pond for 2 years. Cant wait for Spring! Thankyou for sharing all your ideas.
Frogs will come eventually...or you can borrow some frog spawn to introduce into your pond? 🐸 No dig is the way to go too! So much less work and potentially higher yields 😍
Holy moly !!! I'm trying to imagine growing cabbage in January. I'm a canadian northerner and my zone is 2a.
We're 9a-ish here but probably a similar latitude as you!
@@Lovelygreens right on!!! You can grow everything ! I grew so many spaghetti squash last summer, 5 months later I'm tired of eating them hahaha but potatoes peas and carrots everyday keeps the doc away. 😘
Thankyou for your videos and soap recipes.I just got your book.. Its so beautiful.😍🌿. Im wanting to start selling my soaps using my garden herbs and flowers.. I just would like to be like you when I grow up😂 Its my 59th birthday tomorrow so not much chance of that! All the best with your future growth..
Thank you Nicole and I'm really pleased that you're enjoying my book! If you're interested, I have loads of soap making ideas on my website and a soapmaking ebook there too. I do share soap videos here on the occasion too :) lovelygreens.com/make-handmade-soap/
Glad you’ve made that decking safe! My neighbours have a deck at the back of their house - the full width of the house, but it’s wooden and is an absolute slug and snail hotel. I’m curious of whether you have many slugs and snails, or whether they won’t cluster there because it’s a composite rather than a rotting wooden structure. It’s lovely to see your new garden begin to evolve.
That's such an interesting thought, regarding slugs. I'll definitely keep an eye out and let you know. We found a few baby slugs under the artificial grass of the old one but hopefully the new composite decking will deter them.
A fantastic garden tour Tanya and it's going to be more beautiful during the season. Great variety of plants. I don't like broad beans so will focus on other beans & peas. I don't need to buy weed control membrane due to having access to free weed control membrane.
That was amazing video clip you put together there off what is happening in your veggies garden there an what you have Ben do to your backyard there it was amazing to watch your video clip there and keep up the great video clip there. 👍👍
Thank you! Watching the old footage from last year made me realise just how much the place has come on. It's going to bloom this year, I know it 😍
Beautiful gardens Tanya. Love what your doing with your new home. That deck is to die for. I’m afraid with a pond in the allotment the animals will be drawn to eat more of your veg.
I think she will grow enough to share ;)
I understand your situation with the building and garden jobs now. We are turning an old building at bottom of the garden into a granny flat, but I have to lose 9 feet by 10ft of garden plus move a greenhouse (12X6) to a new location (result less raised beds) so I reckon it will be a bad move due to conifer trees all around the borders of the garden. But am up for it family first veg patch later.
It will be very interesting to see how you develop the garden over the coming years.
Thank you for sharing 😀 😊
So many projects going on! Looking forward to seeing the poly tunnel go up and the pond go in. I got my pressure canner through Ebay (UK ebay but a US seller) - a Presto 23q for not much over £100 including import charges from the US. It came in about a week. It's worth keeping an eye out as there's quite a few sellers and the prices often drop quite low.
Fantastic tip, thank you!
Thank you 👩🌾lovely video! Ikea has cans for preserving Food👍
Looking great
Iv been looking into ways to preserve what comes out of our allotment. I love the sound of canning but like you say I’m struggling to get hold of a pressure canner that isn’t going to cost a fortune from the states.
I'm also growing Turmeric for the first time!
Ginger too.
I read somewhere that Turmeric might like afternoon shade in super hot places like mine.
I'm guessing that won't apply to your area?
Altho, here in Texas, the super hot weather means a long growing season...
Will it get hot enough for yours to really take off?
Your greenhouse will be great for it!!
I guess it's like this fine line...
I'm going to be TOO hot.
You're either going to be a tad cool, or maybe you'll be just right?!!
Ok, now I'm going to call Turmeric the Goldilocks of the root crops!!
Either way, it will be an interesting year! ❤️
Oooo hope you manage to look into pressure canning Tanya, I’ve been wanting to get going but don’t know where to start. There’s a distinct lack of info and products here in the uk so I’m sure will be gratefully received!
There is a brilliant Facebook group called Safe Pressure Canning UK that I've joined. It's been the best place so far for finding info on canning over here. Highly recommend it to you :)
I'm an avid canner and preserver. I usually have at least 500 jars in rotation just to give you an idea lol I am interested in how many pounds of pressure you will can at, given your elevation? I use an All American 941 which cans 32 pints at a time. I really do recommend it, but when I did my kitchen, I had to install my cooker hood so the canner had enough space. I am in North Florida
I'm at sea level and haven't pressure canned on my own at all at this point. The equipment and canning jars/lids are hard to come by, and expensive, in Europe and Britain! Not very many people preserve food here compared to North America.
Early february and garden looking like that 🤔 im expecting it to be like that here after three months 😂 we ve got like 80cm snow at the moment. Greetings from southern finland 😋 (luckily im not in the north of the country; its way worse there 😆 )
Your summers are probably much hotter and sunnier than ours, I'll bet :)
I am growing red and yellow oca for the first time this year, I did not know you could get orange. I grew Yacon for the first time last year but harvested it a bit early, apparently you are supposed to let it have a couple of frosts.
Very lovely 🥰
Property is coming along nicely, Tanya. You have accomplished so much in a short time. I have seen a nice video I think you will like. Very short….only 3 minutes…lovely flowers. Flowers at Night on “You Can’t Eat The Grass” TH-cam channel. Nice video on these cold flower less winter days.
When did you put up the greenhouse and do you have a video for it? Ty enjoying your channel 🌿🪴🌱
I just came across your channel. What a nice space you have. I really like your hoops. They look so sturdy. Where did you get them?
I have used a lobster pot for years to hot water bath my canning for several years. Having a pressure cooker explode as a child I have been to afraid to ever use one again.
exciting times
Lucky you…a great place for the new polytunnel… but a question re the new deck… do you have a fox problem on the island? Here in Bristol they would be making a nice den under your deck!
Beautiful garden 👍
Stay connected Stay blessed 🙂
Love you new deck, the rotted wood ,was dangerous for you both to walk on.
Love it.
Thanks for the tour..... Bit of a teaser regarding the poly tunnel. Can you elaborate? Our curiosity is up......
You will find out very soon 🙂 It's a very special polytunnel though...so special that I've had to sign an NDA not to disclose too much of its build.
Very noce garden my froend
I LOVE the sound of an edible hedge. Could this grow to 2m for privacy I wonder?
Yes, and up to about 5m if the hedge isn't laid or pruned. It will get pretty bushy too!
@@Lovelygreens Thank you :) 💖😊💖
12:32 be careful!
That’s arguably dangerous, anyone missing the step on the deck will fall into the greenhouse !
You have so much going on with the allotment and your garden how you find the time.
I try to keep up as best as I can 😊💚
Hey Tanya . I would like to know if I can mix my homemade compost into my garden soil and plant vegetables in it ?😬
That's a pretty standard practice :)
That black fabric can you put underneath will not last when you go to lift it up it’s going to fall apart so I put some under mine and it was a big mess it just fell apart under there and left black pieces all over the place you’re better off to put it straight on the ground rake it up once a year or shovel it. I spent a lot of money on that fabric and it was such a waste
Hi Laura, the black fabric does last a long time for me. I'm currently pulling up seven year old stuff at the allotment to harvest the woodchip compost on top.
I'm curious, what does oca taste like? Is it close to sweet potato or is that just the colour making me think that? Great video, as always.
I'm here for the cat!
Can I ask the different references (arches and net) for your cabbage protection set up? I'm trying to find a sturdy solution that will last a long time to protect my kale this year and don't know where to start looking.
I use stainless steel hoops and butterfly netting for the cabbages. You can find out more about the brand I use (including a 10% discount code) over here: th-cam.com/video/lzRjcRMCvns/w-d-xo.html
@@Lovelygreens Thank you! So sorry I’m answering so late. I hadn’t seen your response. I will have a look at your link.
Random question - if you see it - but I love your boots! What brand are they?
Thank you, Melissa :) They're fab boots and have lasted three years already. I have them listed in my Amazon shop under gardening clothes here: www.amazon.com/shop/lovelygreens
Hello how are your earth worms? Are they still improving please? I am very worried as I have also discovered I have flatworms but Australian not newzealand ones. Is there life after they have invaded?
I WISH GARDENERS AND HOMESTEADERS WOULD INCLUDE THEIR GROW ZONES IN THEIR DESCRIPTIONS OR SOMEWHERE ON EVERY YT POST. WITHOUT IT THE VIDS ARE DISORIENTING AND MIGHT AS WELL BE IN OUTER SPACE OR IN MY IMAGINATION. IT'S HARD TO RELATE TO THE TWO DIFFERENT GROWING LOCATIONS.
It's clearly stated in my channel description. Also, all-caps online means that you're shouting. It's quite rude.
molto belle le tue idee ma il cippato fresco nel decomporsi ruba azoto, dovresti integrarlo in qualche modo
My best sister I am new wow beautiful video sharing sister great👍
Be happy that you dont have 50cm of snow on the ground
I definitely am 🙂
Hi Tanya, did you buy the edible hedge as singles or as a ready to plant hedge?
Hiya! I got them in bundles of 20 and have another 100 plants on the way. Keep an eye out for an update on them this month :)
❤🌿
Hello 🤗😃🌹
Did you start the perpetual Spinach from seed ?
Is it also called Egyptian Spinach ?
Yes, I started it from seed last spring. It's also called Leaf Beet or Spinach Beet and is such a reliable green!
@@Lovelygreens
Thank you ! I’m going to look for it.
Perpuetual spinach I find is alot easier to grow than normal spinach and doesn't go to seed as quickly
In what way is using "Pete" destructive to the environment?
Hi Dennis, peat is ancient plant life that is mined from the soil in giant pits. The land where it's harvested from is utterly ruined as it takes 10 years for 1 cm (0.39") of new peat to form. Peat wetlands are also natural carbon sinks and removing and using it releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. That's why peat has been banned from use in horticulture in the UK from 2024. No peat pots or peat compost will be available after that. You can learn more about why gardeners should avoid peat here: www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/home/should-sustainable-gardeners-use-peat-moss/2017/05/09/1fc746f0-3118-11e7-9534-00e4656c22aa_story.html
No snow?!
It snows here very rarely. Winter days tend to be around 5-10C (40-50F)
Snow is pretty rare in most of the UK except upper Scotland. I live pretty northerly and we get snow for about one day a year at best and it's normally gone in an hour. However we also have rubbish summers, cold and wet. The temperature only changes by about 5c all year
Shout out from Houston, TX. You’re so beautiful.
