The Garden in April

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2024
- It's been a very long time (two months) since a proper garden update, and I have so much to show you. The seedling station in the house, how I'm potting up seedlings, pre-sprouting parsnip seeds before planting them, a tour of the vegetable garden (lots growing), a peek at a wildflower experiment, and planting up a potato for a local competition.
One of my upcoming garden projects is also installing two Epic Gardening beds in front of the Polycrub. You can find the beds in the USA here: lets.growepic.co/lovelygreens, and you can get 5% off using my code LOVELYGREENS5 😍 They're available in the UK: glnk.io/zl3jm/lovelygreens
I also tell you about my latest creative project: Naturally Dye Easter Eggs with Vegetables, Fruit, and Spices: lovelygreens.com/how-to-natur...

I also found the little cloth bags around my plant roots, two years later! The plants never did well and when I dug them out, not only were the little bags still there, perfectly formed, but the roots of the plant had not grown out of them!
I'm not surprised that they were still there! I suspect that they're made with plastics, like some tea bags are.
i did watch the egg dying video the other day and it brought back memories of 40 years ago, when i dyed eggs using beets and onions...my (at the time) 2 year old son loved having red and purple hands as we experimented...thank you again for a great video...love how the garden looks...take good care...
That's a lovely memory, Barb. Thanks for sharing 💚
Last frost in march?? That kinda blew me away. Located way more north than where i live in Belgium and ours is around half may. Here our last frost period is called the Ice Saint in weather/gardening folklore, its 11-15may, the namedays of some saints that nobody remembers :p
Britain has much milder weather than the continent due to sea currents. It's generally warmer in winter and cooler in summer - though summers have been much hotter and drier these past few years!
Hahaha wild garlic! Love it!
Cheeky little things 😂
Btw. broccoli has anticancer effects! I love her. Enjoy, my dear. XX
Happy Easter, Tanya. Eggs are beautiful. Crops looking good..I’m jealous. Colder than you here in New England USA. 😊💖🦋🕊
Thank you 💚 We have the benefit of the lovely warm waters of the gulf stream keeping the Island warm. If we didn't, I'm sure we'd have colder weather than you have!
We sow almost all our annuals en masse in trays similar to your examples. It's just so much easier and a better use of space than fooling around with tiny little six-packs and whatnot.
And more economical!
Hello, I recently purchased a house in Laxey with several raised beds. It's so handy to have all this info from someone so local. Thank you so much. 😊
Welcome to little Laxey and happy growing :)
Great informative video as always…
Your garden is beautiful.
Thank you so much 💚💚💚
So pleased that you enjoyed it! 💚
all lokking great tanya
Many thanks!
You are doing very well with your stewardship of your land. 😊❤
It's coming along, thank you 😊
Wonderful video, thank You.
I could watch you for hours! Much appreciated information and tips. Happy Easter!
That's a lovely thing to say :) Thank you Becky and have a happy Easter too
Garden Structures, you have built many lovely natural vertical/structures for your gardens. Could you make a dedicated video/series dedicated to this subject? (Old footage of examples would work too) I would like to try some of them, but I can't seem to remember which video I saw each structure in .. lol! Thank you!!!
How exciting to be part of the wildflower experiment. I love to see the seeds/plants "waking" up in the spring. Such a great feeling. The eggs are beautiful. What fun to have a potato competion. Good luck! 🥔
Thanks so much, Lisa 💚
Still frosts in northern Germany - so ready for Spring 😊. Love your Channel!
Thank you so much 💓
Nice one Tanya..
Those eggs are amazing 👏 😊
Natural colour is so fun to experiment with! Thank you 💚
Coucou 👋 👋 👋
Au top bravo 😊
A bientôt 😉
Happy Easter Tanya and family.
Happy Easter to you too :)
Your garden is productive, functional, and oh soooo beautiful! Such an inspiration to just keep doing jobs on the list ❤😊
Thank you 💚Gardening is a neverending pleasure
Beautiful garden. I grow scorzonera every year , it is a bit like salsify but black skin , it’s taste is very delicate . I prefer it to Jerusalem artichokes even though I love artichokes. It is great to try vegetables you can’t find in shops.
Salsify and scorzonera seem to get mentioned together a lot. Sounds like something worth growing! I'll keep an eye out for seeds :)
your plant's are so lucky Because you have a glass huoes thàt way you grow Manny beautiful plants thanks for sharing ❤
My dream is to have a garden like yours one day! It is so dreamy and beautiful, you are so fortunate and creative with your space! Thank you for sharing it with us 😍
Thank you for your kind words, and I hope that you get your garden one day 💚
Love seeing your abundant garden, looking forward to seeing the fruit trees too. Think I'll try some sweet potatoes, I buy a nice tasty one in the grocery, it'll be interesting to see if they grow, if not, I'll probably think twice about eating those again. Have a wonderful Easter.
You as well, Wende! And yes, you should definitely try it, even for a bit of fun. Sweet potatoes can be rooted in potting mix or compost like I've done or just suspended in water with toothpicks.
Your so creative❤ love from USA
Thank you so much 😊
Multumesc multumesc numai bine felicitări
Hello Tanya Lovely Greens. Wow!! Those veggies, Seedlings, The video Springtime Blue Skies. Ahh! So uplifting, and positive . I look forward to more of your happy videos. Good luck with the Spud growing competition. Just a heads up . I know your 2nd to none with your knowledge . But give Tony from "Simplify Gardening" a look re Potato Growing , Who knows he may just give you the edge? See you next time TLG.😀🥬🥒🫑
The coloured eggs you made look great! I have actually tried this before, using vegetables and herbs to colour eggs. I used some red cabbage that you can buy in a jar, just put some in a container surrounding the eggs, and it made a nice blue pattern on the eggs. I've tried spinach as well, and turmeric, and paprika.
It's amazing to see your seedlings growing so well! 🌱 Keep up the good work!
Thank you 😊
You're so smart and I'm not about growing. I'm from cold Minnesota.
Your garden looks wonderful - and it's so fun to follow along on all your projects. Always interesting!
Thank you so much!
I LOVE Ananas Noir. It's of the dozens of varities I grow out each year it is one of my all time favorite tomatoes.
So happy to hear it! What do you tend to use yours for? Fresh and sliced? Salads?
Your garden is looking really lovely
Thank you 💚
Hi I live in the Shropshire hills I'm not a gardener but thinking of starting. Ok have fun 😊
Spring is a great time to start 🙂
Your garden is looking great. Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
You too, Helen :) thank you
First! Been waiting impatiently for this one! Happy Easter!
Same to you! Happy Easter 🐣
Wow, your garden looks fabulous! It seems like yesterday when you moved there. You are an inspiration. Happy Easter Tanya.
Happy Easter, June 💚 Two years at the new house, but it hasn't seemed like very long. It's nice starting out this year with most of the beds and Polycrub in, though!
Hi Tanya lovely video. Our last frost is 2 months after yours at middle of may. You have quite a head start on us. Your garden is beautiful. Happy Easter 🐣
Wow, you must have so many indoor seedlings keeping you company up to that point. I'll bet outdoor sowings catch up quickly, though! Nature finds a way 💚
I started watching you with your allotment and now have started watching you again…glad to see your able to expand and grow more!!! Do you have a video on your greenhouse and it’s uses?
Do you mean the Polycrub? I sure do :) Head to the 'videos' section of my channel and search for Polycrub.
I'm interested to see how your parsnips grow with starting the seed on a paper towel & then transplanting them. We enjoy parsnips but have to be started early here. I was going to try putting a board on the seed after planting but keep them moist until they emerge & then take the board off. I've seen this done on an other video. Lorraine
I learned about the technique from another TH-cam gardener, and he's apparently been pre-sprouting for years! Mine may have been a bit further along than his in that department. I couldn't get outside to plant them sooner! Fingers crossed
Loved the video Tanya, your garden is looking so lovely and productive. Bit behind here as I have covid for the 2nd time. Not impressed! Once I feel better I'll be out there as I have seedlings needing potting on. Have a lovely Easter!
Speedy recovery Jenny, and thank you!
Just found your channel and have subscribed.Think I'm going to learn a lot from you. Thanks 😊
Welcome 💚
Some good content 😊 👌 me and my daughter have been watching the video is loving the content. It's a subscription from us. 😊👍
Thanks so much, and I'm glad to have you both on board 🙂
So Nice😊🪴🪴💐🪴🪴👌👌👌
Our last frost date is early May we have such a short window to do anything where I live.
We all have our challenges! I'd be setting up a massive indoor seed starting area to get a headstart.
Dear Tanya, do you also use wild garlic, or as we call it bear garlic in the kitchen? In my country (Slovakia) it is a mania in spring to go to the woods and harvest them. And eat them just like that with a butter bread or make cakes out of them or pesto. :) Love your channel, love your garden. Kisses to Maggie XX
Little Maggie was sleeping or exploring most of the time I was filming this video. She'll no doubt pop in again soon :) As for wild garlic, we love eating it! There's A LOT of it growing at the foot of our garden and down the lane we live on. Pesto is a favourite, but we have it with most other veg, too. A friend told me recently that she dries and powders it to use as a seasoning for the rest of the year. I'm going to try that next. Waving to Slovakia - it's a country we hope to visit one day 💚
Great video and thanks for the heads up on the Laxey seed swap, I will be there. Fingers crossed for no more frosts, especially after yesterday's snow (on the higher hills). Also, fingers crossed it will stop raining sometime soon!!!! This is my first year growing veg on the IOM and looking forward to some homegrown produce, if things go well. My first early potatoes are well on their way, I did plant them on the 17th March under fleece. The Second Early and Main crop potatoes are all in. I have sown some carrots and parsnips and I have loads of seedlings in the house (planted way too many). Just waiting for the better weather 😂🌱🌱🌱
Bring your spares to the Seed Swap, and they'll be sure to find good homes. You may leave with just as many, though 😆
@@Lovelygreens That will most likely happen, always on the lookout for more. Can you bring plants? I have a few too many tomato plants for what I need.
I like to grow chives with strawberries because I think it helps keep some of the rodents away
❤
Have you ever grown potatoes from seed? I bought potato seeds and I am planning on starting them this summer to grow potatoes over my Florida winter. Wish me luck 🍀
I've never done that, no. Wishing you luck!
Hey there!
I accidentally removed one of my aloevera pups from the mother plant this morning while taking a leaf...I quickly planted the pup into the soil but the pup didn't have any root of its own. What should I expect now? Will the pup be able to grow its own roots despite being detached from the mother plant or it will die? Is there anything I can do to save the pup? Please help
If it didn't have roots of its own, it will probably die.
What chili type can you use for paprica. The one's I can find all seems hot? Do they get mild when you dry them?
There are quite a few! Some are hot, like Hungarian Hot Wax, and some are mild varieties. The mild ones you can use as bell peppers or dry them for paprika. I'm growing Balalaika as a mild pepper for paprika spice.
@Lovely Greens Thank you, appreciate your reply.
👌🏻👍
Do you have any issues transplanting spinach? I started some inside this year vs direct sow, but read that they don’t transplant well.
I've been transplanting mine from modules for years :) Works fine for me! Direct sowing can be easier, but then you have voracious slugs to contend with. That's why you use more seeds when directly sowing in the soil - one for the slug, one for the bird, and one for yourself!
@@Lovelygreens thank you for giving me hope! I started them inside for the very reasons you stated. I end up feeding the birds and slugs more than I feed myself when I direct sow.
This is odd, april and things are going dormant here
What are you seeing going dormant in spring?
@@Lovelygreens no silly, in the southern hemisphere
volume made me jump lol
Sorry about that - which part was too loud for you?
Appreciate your efforts, but #shorts are a waste of my time. Get all I need (and more) from regular videos and newsletters.
I find #shorts annoying to be honest!
Keep some of that garlic in the strawberry box for pest control. They don't like garlic.
Thank you I will fo some research on this. 😊
