- With Septembers weather looking to be the best all year, I find myself taking a trip into town and checking out all the goings on for Harvest Festival 2023!
We meet some incredible people, pick up some amazing new additions to the garden and I take the plunge and pull some of my potatoes!!
See you soon,
Laura 🌱🤗

Wow, free plants!!! ❤🌱🥰 Those herbs look amazing, so that was a great find. 😊 POTATOES!!! 😍😍😍 Great harvest, Laura! They were beautiful and a nice assortment of sizes. ❤ Its most definitely a HUGE WIN! Ah, this made me so happy!!! Oh, yes, Dandelions get a bad rep, but they are super beneficial from root to petals in a lot of ways. ☺️ Another lovely video! Thank you and take care! ❤
Who can resist a free plant!! Everything will start to quiet down now as the temperatures are dropping, so I think a mass of herbs will be great to see us through the winter!
So chuffed with the potatoes 🥔 😋 I was a but nervous to tip them out 🤭 they are a nice variety and really versatile in the kitchen which is an added bonus! Thank you so much for the continued support, I hope your feeling a bit better this week 🤗💚🌱
Herb garden looks great! Lovely potato harvest! The festival you went to seemed very exciting, so pleased for you! 😄👍😘💕🌸
Really chuffed with the potatoes! No signs of disease either 🙌 it was such a cute little festival, so pleased to share a bit with you sadly I couldn't use the audio from the clips because there was a big music stage and I didn''t want to get told off by youtube 🤭🤭 xx
So true the gardens are in limbo waiting for the next step from us as well as from the weather
So glad I am not the only one feeling that way!! I have a few crops I am trying to do for autumn 🍂 ☺️ everything feels very over grown at the minute, the weather has gotten quite cold the last few days here lows around 8 degrees 😳 hope your doing good Stella, not long now and you'll be on your holidays!! Take care 💚🤗
🥳🥳 free is the best and great support for area businesses. Oh wow no pots that is cool 👍👍. Excellent potato 🥔 harvest who doesn’t love fresh clean spuds. Garden looks lovely Laura and you have done a spectacular job in your tiny space. Have a super week and happy gardening, Ali 🌥️🇨🇦
Hey Ali!! 👋It is cool isn't I wonder do they use a soil blocker or something to make them up! That is a really good point, I think I got sooooo side tracked by growing my largest potato ever, I didn't even notice they were clean, no scab or anything 💪Can't wait now to get in a rejig it all for next season 🤩🤩I already have a list of seeds to purchase! Hope you have a wonderful day Ali and I will catch up with you real soon! 💖🌱x
Oh Laura, so thrilled about your potatoes! A little jealous. I planted one store-bought Yukon gold potato that sprouted. I was so excited. I’ve never grown potatoes before. A few days after planting it into a tub I found a hole and tunnel in the tub. A squirrel 🐿️ no doubt said my potato was ready to harvest in 2 days. Of course this spring I will be successful if I figure out how to protect my taters from 🐿️’s. The herbs you got look fab! Laura, you and Roo have a great weekend! Much love your way. 🙋🏻♀️ Cindy
That was one smart squirrel 🤭🤭 he probably watched you plant it Cindy!! I wonder could you try chicken wire over the top of the container? I am so pleased 🥔💪 I really should have topped up the container sooner than I did, but not too bad considering the lack of TLC! Hopefully we will get outside this weekend to sow a few more seeds 🤗 have a lovely day Cindy and I will catch up with you very soon! 💚🌱
Great harvest of spuds from those buckets Laura! Lovely and clean! Nothing better than a freshly planted herb bed ! 💪🏼😁💚
Thank you Will! I couldn't believe it to be honest the spuds were very inconsistently watered 🤣 thrilled no disease! I know the gardening is all about the plants but I do love myself a freshly mulched bed with nothing in it! 😅 hope you have a good week, catch up with you soon!! 🤗🧡🍂
@@thetinygarden_ nothing more satisfying than a freshly mulched bed!!👍
Holy molly ypur squash is sooo lush.and the salad looks amazing.good potato harvest❤❤
Hey Gracie 👋 it's absolutely massive, it has completely engulfed the french beans, the poor lettuce or brassica cage might be the next victim!
Thrilled with the spuds 🙌 the largest one I ever grew 🥳 the variety tastes nice too which is an added bonus, they're great all rounder in the kitchen! 💚🌱
nice
Thank you Calikim! 🌱
Well done with your potatoes, you are so happy and cheerful 😊 another great video, your dog is lovely, my cocker spaniels enjoy watching me in the garden they follow me everywhere... Take care 😊
Hey Kerrie 👋 I'm so please with the potatoes and I still have a bucket or two left. Thanks for the kind words I'm so happy you liked the video. "Roo" is lovely but she can be troublesome 🙈🤣 Cocker spaniels are beautiful how many do you have?
I have two, George and Ralph 😁 full of fun, not helpful. In the garden! Enjoy your day 😊
@@user-bw9yc4jj2htwo troublesome boys 🙈 I bet they are SOOO full of energy 😆🐾
Wow that harvest festival is brilliant, wish they had one near me lol
Herb garden looks great !! I made a herb garden in a huge pot BUT at the moment we are using a lot of fresh coriander as my husband is into making currys 😂 and guess what ... I didn't plant coriander 😂 so that's on my list for next year.
Great potato haul too, my neighbour grows in buckets / pots and tends to get good harvests too.
I had a great time mooching around town looking at all the bits and bobs! It was a great idea and mostly funded by the local council as well.
Hahah 🤣🤣 sorry Carl no coriander for you!! I did find that even though it wasn't that hot this summer since about June the coriander wasn't doing so well, the woodlice just kept on eating it 🤷♀️ so for this latest batch I have left it a bit longer before planting out 🤞🤞 hope you have lovely day Tracey and the two boys aren't running a muck on the allotment 🤭🤭💚🌱
Hi laura whata lovley lot of potatoes you done realy well I love herbs but keep forgetting to grow them each year except for thyme as I use that to make stuffing for the whole family garden is looking good
Thank you 🤗 I was a bit nervous to flip them out but so thrilled I did! Oh my gosh Corrine stuffing is my absolute FAVOURITE thing in the whole world 😍🤤!! I know there is lots of versions thought, I do a bread stuffing, it's one of those family recipes with no measurements you just measure by eye, and its full of herbs 🤩 hope you have a fab weekend!! 💖🌱

Wow 😲 you have so much growing, fingers crossed for the toms! I didn't know you were growing chillies, that is so cool! I take it you like spicy food?! 🥵 I really loved growing celery this year, I heard you can do the same thing with spring onion, pop the stalk into water and it will regrow!

That's a very decent potato harvest! 👍 There a few different varieties of oregano by the way, I've had small leaved, larger leaved and fluffy leaved varieties over the years. I prefer the larger leaf variety like yours, I did not like the taste of the small leaved one, and the fluffy leaved variety always had a lot of mildew on it - not very good when it is the leaves you want to harvest. :-/ I guess you got the one that tastes and grows the best here in Ireland. (I'm in Co Cavan.) I grow my oregano in an old trailer, maybe about 4' by 6' or so, this is the 4th season it's been growing there and it has taken over 80% of it, so just be prepared that it will try to spread over time. Not so bad as mint, but I guess they are in the same family. I also have echinacea growing in that trailer, and they grow really well together, as the oregano creeps over the ground, the echinacea grown upwards. They both attract a lot of bees and butterflies. May I ask how big is your garden? It's really impressive how much food you get out of that space! 👏
Hey Rev 👋 so chuffed with the spuds, a few small ones that might have gotten a bit bigger maybe if I had left them!
Wow! I didn't know that about the types of oregano, nor did I know it was similar to mint 😲 mildew is such a problem in my garden, I am surprised the patty pan isn't covered in it yet! Echinacea is such a beautiful plant I really like the idea of combining the two!
Of course you can ask! The main growing space with all the raised beds is just over 8 meters squared and then I have the few pots then around the side which are mostly 30 litres! Thank you for watching and sharing that insight on the oregano, I really appreciate that! 🌱😊
Hey our favourite youtube gardener. What a great find…free herbs 🪴
Coming round for a fancy Saturday breakfast 😊😊😂 dill is one we don’t have either.
I’m picking some spuds tomorrow from the home garden and they are a red variety like yours. ❤
Ooh I got my microphone yesterday, soo I will be loud and clear 😂😂 on all future vids. 😂
I love a re jig 😊 and tidy up.
Ooh gotta go Tricia calling.
Great video I will finish watching later tonight.
Look after you and your.
Love
A & T❤
Hey hey! Stop you are making me blush 🙈! Fancy breakfast is right 😏 if your lucky I'll do some poached eggs and hopefully they won't be like rubber bullets 🤣So exciting on the microphone front, I do love getting something in the post but the techy stuff can leave me bamboozled at times!! Hope your keeping busy while Tricia is on hols, catch up with you later! Take care lovelies! 💖xx
That looks like an amazing event. Fab herb score. I have a slightly smaller leaf oregano called bold and spicy….it returns faithfully each year. I agree that parsley is the workhorse of all the herbs. Lemon thyme is probably my favorite herb of all.
Your potato harvest was great. I am planning to try them in pots next year. All these years, I’ve never tried to grow them.
Another great video.
@robinmiller1783 I will be so thrilled if the oregano returns next year. I have two lemon thyme plants, it's absolutely gorgeous, and I love cooking with it for pot roasts but it always seems to struggle or stop producing leaves before it really gets going 🫣, I wonder is that the cycle of it or am I not doing something right 😅🍃 loved growing the potatoes in pots, it's much easier on the body when compared with digging trenches but I did find them hard to keep watered, hopefully they hold up for you next year in the Chicago heat!! Hope you have a wonderful week Robin, take care 💚🌱🤗
@@thetinygarden_ Interesting about the lemon thyme. Do you have any organic liquid fertilizer. If so, might give it a little boost.
I have homemade seaweed fertiliser...maybe that might work!
