- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Happy first day of spring! There's been much progress in the garden with the new polytunnel, and today, I show just how far it's come on. We also sow the first outdoor seeds in the Vegepod, plant the gutter-grown peas I sowed last autumn, and have a look at what's happening and growing in the garden and greenhouse. As usual, Maggie makes her cute and sassy appearance(s)!

That looks great! Polly tunnel is ideal
🤣🤣🤣Maggie loves that you’re building her a playground!
Hahaha 😹
That cat Maggie makes me laugh so much 😆
Can't believe how fast your garden is coming together. Suddenly looks so different. Despite Maggie's best efforts to destroy it!
It's going to continue changing a lot this year and next! So many projects :) And also repair work post-Maggie 😹
Yeah, the weekly adventures of Maggie 😸😁
Maggie is living her best life, she is so happy in the garden 😄 My cat enjoys carefully pulling up graslike plants, like asparragus and any alliums 😅
That poly looks like the beast of all polytunnels. You’ll be able to grow some really wonderful things in there, and your cats will LOVE it.
Maggie's swooshing tail was her answer Haha...so cute!! I like how you created the pea trellis!
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie so full of life and mischief.... your garden looks beautiful and it's exciting to see how much your garden is changing 😊
Everything look's great in spite of Maggie's assistance at all times♥️ TY. You're gotten so much.done. Your greenhouse & deck looks so nice.
Hello Judith
I enjoy watching your videos. quite interesting. I hope you are healthy and keep spirit
The tunnel is spectacular! What a great addition to your space! Excited to follow along with your updates throughout the season! Thanks for sharing!
what a lovely tunnel and great video
Wow, your home garden is looking really, really lovely! Your poly tunnel is such a great addition. I'm still waiting for things to warm up and green up here. But I've got my first round of seeds started in the cabin!
Spring can be such a wait...hoping that she makes an appearance in your garden soon 🙂
Hello
Wow that is some poly, can’t wait to see all your plants in the summer time 🤙
Hello Linda
Tunnel is going to be such a great space to grow in Tanya. Garden is looking awesome
Your garden is going to look so beautifull this spring/summer. All your hard work is paying off.
Rambunctious Maggie!
4 degrees would be so nice for us up here right now in Sudbury Ontario 🇨🇦 🤣🤣🤣 we are out of the -30 weather finally but it is still very much winter 😒 another month to go ....this is always the time I get annoyed by winter the most 🤣 I WANT OFF THIS RIDE LOL
Brrrr...cold! Yes, every year northern gardeners have their patience tested :) There's no stopping spring though!
Everything looks awesome!
Thanks June!
Love the pea construction with the extra twigs inside almost an art piece in its own right. Looking forward to seeing how the polytunnel turns out.
I like it too :) It will look even better with peas clambering over it. Thanks Paul!
Enjoyed the video and found the info quite useful.
Yeahhhhh more Maggie ❤️❤️❤️❤️
More Maggie Mayhem you mean? haha 😹
@@Lovelygreens yes def great game you too have lolol
Hey Tanya! I haven't been watching gardening content for the last few months because we've been sooooo frozen here in Canada. Well the snow has FINALLY melted in this false spring and I'm back, baby! So revived with encouragement from your video. Moved into our first owned home and it has more garden space than we've ever had - so exciting!
It's the most exciting time of the year! Enjoy! 💚
Hello Donna
🤣😂 Maggie has the personality of our Felix (a.k.a and lovingly called "Monster"). 🤣😂 Everything is looking fabulous. That view with the poly tunnel as the backdrop above the garden is * chef's kiss *
Monster is a good nickname for Maggie too 😹 We love the view too! The fields belong to our neighbour and occasionally feral sheep move in to graze. There are three of them up on the grass right now!
Aww, this is amazing🌿💖 Thanks 👩🌾🐱
Lovely look around, thanks for that. Wow what a tunnel you will have, happy growing.
So much fun to see your progress!😊
Hello Sandi
LOVE my hori hori ! Your soil/medium looks 👌
Wow what a wonderful polytunnel!! By the way I took your advice and checked the temp on the windowsill. Too cold! I put cardboard on my radiator and put the seeds on it. I now have quite a few chillies, aubergines and peppers! Lots of exciting projects on your land. Cant wait to see the results.
Brilliant news on the seedling front! 💚
I love the pea structure you made!
Hello Jeanne
Hello, I just found your channel and subscribed. Looking forward to watching more of your garden content.
Thank you Gayle and welcome to Lovely Greens :)
It’s all looking great
Here in south-central Indiana I've only direct-sowed radishes and other cool-loving crops ( which I've already done )
More like a greenhouse than a poly. How wonderful and exciting! Growing and eating your own veg. There’s nothing like being connected to nature. Happy Spring everyone!
It will be a kind of hybrid when it's complete :) Happy spring Jeanne!
Hello Jeanne
Maggie is so funny. Lol
Hello
I always disperse my peas everywhere I can ( direct-sow) because hubby & I don't use many
Can't wait to see your crops in a month or so
You've made great progress and everything's looking well. I'm curious why you've not staked and secured your newly planted fruit trees as it's the way I've always seen it done Tanya. Take care .
Hi Trevor, there are two main camps when it comes to staking trees -- those who do, and those who don't. I avoid staking unless it's completely necessary since trees that are unstaked can develop much stronger root systems quickly. Important in a place with windy winters! Trees that need staking are those that can't support their own main leader once planted or are constantly battered by the wind. Even when staked, you should remove the stake within two years, max. The exceptions to this (in my garden) are the columnar trees I've planted in a row at the bottom of the veg patch. They're minarette trees and need strong vertical support for the duration of their lives. Or so I've been told. A photo of one of them growing at the Garden Organic gardens does not have a stake and looks healthy, straight, and happy though!
The garden looks great! Maggie is so cute! I would love to take my kitty outside with me in the backyard while I’m gardening but she will jump over our fence and run off.
It's probably for the best Alice 💚 Keeping cats indoors is better for outdoor wildlife. It's difficult to keep cats in if they've been outside before though. Maggie was born outdoors and has demanded (howled!) since she was small to go out. Our two other adopted cats were four and five when we got them. They too had been outdoor cats before.
It does look a very sturdy frame. I built mine out of scaffold bars driven into the ground and the blue water pipe 48mm diameter for the 'hoops' if I remember correctly and also put timber supports in the frame (not as much as you must need where you are). It is just a tip, but I now keep my doors open in the autumn and winter, especially in high winds to let the wind blow through - there is much less chance of the cover getting ripped off then - I lost my first polythene cover because I did not attach it to the frame as well as securely as I should have - it probably ended up in Yorkshire somewhere (the other side of the Pennines!). The second cover which is still there since early 2014 was put on in combination with a 'mesh' skirt around the lower 3ft of the tunnel to help break the force of the wind as well - I might loose a bit of heat, but not much.
Greenhouses and polytunnels are always a gamble in winter! Good tip for keeping the doors open in winter...especially when stormy/windy weather is forecast.
Peas looking healthy
The polytunnel build is coming on Tanya. It will be fantastic once it's completed and thankful it's IOM weather proof. The rest of the garden is looking beautiful and well organised and planned. Always enjoy your video's. Keep safe, well and happy gardening with Maggie( Trouble on 4 legs)😆
Thank you David and trouble on four legs is right 😹 Polytunnel cover starting to go on this very moment...I can see the joiners working outside!
Wow!! Your garden plans are really coming together! Excited to see what you’ll be able to grow in your poly tunnel! How long does it usually take for the bare root apple trees to grow large enough to start bearing fruit?
Hahahaha... Cat Mom here. "The cheek of her" 🤣🥰
I love polycrubs can’t wait to see it all done
Hoping to get a greenhouse this year 🙏
It's a wonderful time of the year - with all the sowing to do, and nurturing tiny seedlings. Your polytunnel is going to look fantastic! Can't wait to see it. You have transformed your new garden. Are you planning to still keep your allotment, or do you think you will have enough space at home? I love that you have a gardening buddy 🐈, although it does look like she is going to be Trouble 🤣🤣. A lovely video xx
I do hope to keep the allotment and will be making time to plant potatoes there this week :) The garden here is more than big enough but I do love the community aspect of the allotment 💚
So exciting to watch!
Hello Leslie
Congratulations!
Hello Kristie
Your polytunnel is going to be amazing so we'll made could enjoy tea and radio plays in there hmmmm
It's going to be so warm and cosy! My friend @lizzorab has asked to sleep in it when she visits this year 💚
@@Lovelygreens wonderful what a treat enjoy 👏👏👍😂
Maggie needs a throne in the polytunnel 👑👑👑
I have several nut trees but no fruit trees yet, but planning to this year
Jealous that you can plant outside now. I'm in Central Oregon USA and we are high desert. Can't safely plant till June. But will start planting in the greenhouse first of April. It will have to be heated. Always enjoy your videos. 😁
Every climate is different and you know what to do in yours! I've thought about heating the greenhouse but it's not necessary here since I can start a lot in the house and move out to an unheated greenhouse. In your region (colder for longer) your action plan is 👌
Beautiful video Tanya! Are you worried that your raised beds aren't level and the water will run towards the bottom?
Hi Cherry, they're actually no-dig beds, not raised beds. Imagine them as bottomless beds with a simple wooden edging there to keep the compost on top from eroding down the slope. Drainage is the same as in any standard in-ground garden bed :)
is that a polycrub polytunnel? I know Huw Edwards has one and they look absolutely amazing. As for that cat! She reminds me so much of my very naughty tortie. Absolute sweetie but into everything. We've just finished building new compost bins and she's already found they make a superb scratching post!
Marking her territory 😹
Maggie ❤️
Does she love a ball of yarn?
Nice one Tan, you are more dedicated than nearly everybody i know, love to see it. We was busy up here today, lots came down to work. I love it i chat to everybody. Nearly got the tree out for my pond, it is endless and relentless. I put 3 types of potato down today and put garlic in, nice trenching. Go get em Tan x.
Every little effort gets the job done in the garden...bit by bit, and day by day. You'll love your pond when you get it made :)
I prefer sugar snap peas too
Hello Tamara
👍
So very lovely..and so very jealous. Question, what frost hardy zone are you? I am 8b, but it appears you are a bit warmer. I'm struggling with knowing which vegetable starts I can maintain in my solar greenhouse in March and beginning of April. Hoping you can help. Thank you for all your guidance. Joan in Sequim.
Hi Joan, if you're going by low temperatures (first/last frost) then we are considered zone 9. Our safe date for the last frost is March 31st though, and our summer temperatures are not hot and tend to be around 60-77F (15-25C). A little Goldilocks zone that's never too cold nor too hot. I've been to Sequim before and think that our climates are very similar. Right now leafy greens can go in the greenhouse but avoid any starts that need warmth 24-7 -- such as tomatoes. Wait on those until night temperatures are warm enough in your greenhouse for them (no colder than 45F/7C at any point). Until then, you can start off lettuce, spinach, leafy herbs, onions, and brassicas such as cabbage.
Hello Joan
That little glass greenhouse is quality. poly is cheap light.
How do you keep lugs at bay I was collecting slugs at 2am I couldn’t sleep 😩 there was absolutely loads of baby ones I do used beer traps. Do you have any suggestions?
I try to remove any places where they might hide and dead plant material that they'll eat. Anything sitting or laid on the ground -- barrels, plastic, piles of wood, etc, create habitat for slugs. Some mulch (straw!) encourages them too. In my garden, they'll eventually discover the cozy nook between the wooden edging and the compost in the beds. They won't get too bad though since I keep the garden clear, grass and weeds minimized, and encourage wildlife to come have their fill. Hedgehogs eat slugs as do frogs. Can't wait to get a wildlife pond built at the house for them 💚
@@Lovelygreens thanks do the slugs live in the soil?
Love your Chanel looking forward to the pond going in.
Would you be so kind as to share your source and size for the bamboo sticks? I checked your store and didn't see them there. Thank you.
They're about six feet long and are pretty standard here in garden centres. Use whatever you have in your garden or locally though! I'd recommend to not buy bamboo unless you don't have other sticks that you can use.
@@Lovelygreens Thank you.
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.
I wonder what happened to your gorgeous David Austin roses
They're in pots on the patio but you'll see them with a new trellis soon :)
My cat doesn't tolerate any wildlife whatsoever in HIS backyard.
Can you imagine if you had a bunny?
Maggie would chase it with glee 😹
