😅 i did wonder why Rob was just staring at the racking - love the planters and whole patio layout x
It was giving time out naughty corner🤭😂🤣
You should have used a thick plastic liner for the tall planter and put drainage holes in the bottom, the one you used will rot and the soil will fall through. The plastic will also stop the wood from rotting. The smaller planter will only be good for anything with shallow roots, will make a nice herb garden.
I agree. You will be lucky to get a season out of that membrane. I would take that membrane out and the plastic as suggested before you plant anything. The composte bags would be fine for this. Yes ok it would be a bit more work now but in the long run it will save you time and money. Your plants will be better your planter will last longer and you won't have a big messy job next season and a big disappointment when if all sinks through the bottom then rots the base boards.
Wowww! Love these Shade - what a cosy & chique corner 😍
Question is there enough space for guest to sit at the table and sit on the sectional at the same time? It looks tight in the video. The planter boxes look great. I think you should plant kale, lettuce, spinach in the big box and herbs in the smaller one. Good job.
Super vlog. Gives me great idea. Thank you. Yes lavender likes gritty soil. I was recommended to use Hidcote lavender . Trellis great idea. Be careful nobody trips over the shallow though. Garden looks amazing.
Herbs would be great in the lower planter especially scented ones! Honey suckle or jasmine with box plants in the top one adding a trellis for them too 😄
Just had a look at jasmine and honeysuckle online they’re both beautiful! Definitely incorporating these into the garden 🌸❤️
Your small planter has a much better depth, as the plant roots can grow right into the soil. The taller planter actually has a shallower soil depth.......as I see it, anyway. Some plants have shallower root systems, so I would plant those into the taller raised bed. But what a wonderful job you guys are doing with your home - very impressive!
I absolutely love the planter boxes. Y'all made that look so easy. I can't wait to see what you plant.
It was so simple we couldn’t believe it. I’m even thinking of the other places we can put them 🥰
Just incase the soil erodes or shifts consider doing Hugelkultur gardening in your tall raised bed. Technically you could still remove the top soil since it is on a tarp, do the the branches and sticks, get the the free soil from your council (you posted this in a previous video), add warms, then put the the top spoil back in the planter before planting your vegetables etc.
Ahh I was so going to do this as well but I backed out I don’t even know why ..grr. If I have the energy, before I plant, I may remove it all and do that. Thank you for the suggestion!
Love it 😍 put lavender in the lower section - will smell wonderful when you are using the space ❤️ love the trellis idea on the taller section too, it will hide the conifer trunks x
The garden looks fantastic. Well done to you both. Maybe carrots green beans sweet peas strawberries is a good shout great vlog loved it 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Hello missed you and I’m so glad you are doing well. The raised planters turned out great. GOD BLESS. Oh can’t wait to see what you are going to plant. 🙏🏾🥰💖💯💫
Love the home made planters you are so talented both of you. In the smaller one I would add colourful bedding plants. The garden has transformed ❤
Fabulous job Shade as always
Lovely planters, plant something that smells nice as its by the seating areas 💜 you have done a wonderful job on the garden 💜 hopefully we have some nice weather to finish off the Summer 💜
Thank you so much! Gosh I’d love to fill it with beautiful coloured flowers and scented herbs. So many ideas I need to just be calm and pick well 😂
Looks lovely you both have worked really hard.x
Well done guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 looks great, as for working with those beautiful nails Shade 🔥🤛🏻🇬🇧xxxxx
looks so good! love your vibe and honesty
Have you thought about an umbrella base so the pole doesn't damage your mat ? it all looks beautiful.
That’s a good shout. I think it needs some stability. I’ll look into that thank you ! ❤️
just revisited this video as i want to make some planters and wanted to use sleepers but they are so expensive for the size i need. How's this holding up? x
Great job 👌🤎
Thank you! ❤️❤️
Wow wow wow, Zhana’s and Linnie-Camille are jumping as we comment 1st 🥇 🎉🎉we love you Shade❤
Sorry you commented 2nd 🥈
Hey guys!!!! Hope you’re doing well. Thank you so much for watching 😘 ❤️ 🥰
A nice garden clock might look good on the back wall. Also if the wall is in a very sunny spot it would look great to grow Wisteria on it.
It’s like you read my mind … I was just thinking about wisteria on that back wall today. It takes years to grow though doesn’t it?
@@ShadeShannon It does take a while to grow Wisteria but it is lovely watching it grow and flower each year and it looks and smells amazing 🙂
@@alisons7301 going to do some research. Would absolutely loveeee to have it. Thank you!
Missing u. Hope you and Rob are well ❤
thank you lovely, hope you're well 🥰
The membrane you have used is far too thin and when the compost is wet it will break through the material. If you line the wooden planter then you need to do it with plastic to keep the damp soil away from the wood to help prolong the it, punch drainage hole in plastic.
Planting ...
- carrots/most long rooted vegetables normally need a good depth of stone free loose open soil otherwise there is a danger that the roots will split. The good news is that you can get seeds of short stubby or round carrots
Root veg don't like being transplanted so sown in situe
- Salad crops, Radish and Beetroot are all fairly shallow rooted and quick growing. By planting eg half a row of radish and beetroot and sowing this every 2 to 3 weeks you don't get a glut. Beetroot leaves can be picked young (a couple of each plant in the row) then as the beet developes left to feed the root, 2 for the price of 1. Pick lettuce leaves in a similar manner rather than taking the whole head, you will get several picking before harvesting the head.
- strawberries a great choice and will look great dangling over the edge of the planter
- plante some edible flowers eg violas look pretty in salads,ice cubes or decorating cakes and nasturtium flowers and petals both trail over the edge of the planters and have a peppery taste to liven a salad, pick before they get black fly or wash well
- herbs would look good in large hanging pots hooked over the edge of the tall planter and can be replaced as needed eg Basil, Parsley, Tarragon and other leafy herbs. Rosemary/Lavendar are bigger plants and are better in the ground
- attach some trellis at each end of the large trough (on the lawn side to ground level to grow beans in the ground). At the wall end some drawf beans/sugar snap peas which don't grow so tall. If you don't like beans try sweet peas on the lawnside taller trellis BUT never mix peas/beans with sweetpeas as sweet pea seeds are poisonous but the pods look similar.
- if you like aniseed then fennel I like the bronze version the colour adds variety. Use the feathery leaves, enjoy the yellow flowers and later collect the seeds for eg fennel tea good for the digestion.
There are many more things to grow but do your research look, at square foot gardening for growing in small spaces and cropping while plants are small but plant continuously you don't have to plant in foot sized beds but do it intensively
It's all looking great and can't wait to see how your garden progresses, keep planting 👍
When you press the like button before you've even seen the video 😂
You are theeee best ❤️❤️
Why was Rob humming the wedding march at 6:30 , have you something to tell us :)
Haha I said the same thing to him today too! He didn’t have an answer for me 😂
As the lovely Emma (of Emma’s Allotment Diaries) says ..... just whack it in and see 😆
Love this! I’ll have to have a look at her page 🥰
@@ShadeShannon she’s great fun and sooo enthusiastic - she often shows her South London garden too - she’s got a lot packed in to a very small area (as the gardens of London terraces tend to be) -mainly just “whacked in” to see if it works or not (generally does - perhaps not always as expected - but in one form or another)
@@carliem9494 Ive just subscribed to her. Can’t wait to binge watch some content!
@@ShadeShannon isn’t she just brilliant?! She cheers me up every time she posts she just so enthusiastic and funny.
Have to say though, that’s all I’ve ever done - whack it in a see if it grows 🤣
Yay we get to be the first to drop our comment 🎉🎉🎉🎉we love you Shade❤
Woohooooooo 😘🥰❤️
Table is too close to garden sofa seating. Cover the gravel with more tiles & pull table to middle. 👍🏾
Thanks for the tip!
Hey there 🤗
Great content 🎉 I subscribed to your channel 🙏 Good work..
Hey, thanks so much!
@@ShadeShannon Absolutely 🙂 You're mighty welcome 🙏
