Today, there are quite a few jobs to do in the allotment vegetable garden. Planting more potatoes and using solar power to cut the grass for two! Then there's sowing perpetual spinach seeds, harvesting nine-star broccoli (a perennial vegetable), and trying a new method for starting carrots that I hear leads to an almost 100% germination rate.

The best part of your videos for me is your love for what you do. Enthusiasm is hard to resist. Lucky you.
Would be so beautiful to sit in your beautiful allotment and look toward those hills! That is exactly what I said to myself before you did, "Live and let live." That's so wonderful that you are going to let it be as we all share this planet. 🤗
Hi I normally use moisted news papers to start carrots, it works really well😉
Allotment looks like it’s in great shape! I love how you’re so chill about critters in your garden and how you encourage wildlife to flourish alongside your garden. =)
Our allotment has badgers, and they love carrots, parsnips and beetroot. The pigeons love spinach/chard/broccoli. Squirrels love corn and strawberries. And everything loves cherries. We have to be masters of the defensive structure. Your plot looks lovely.
😂
Thank you so much for another educational video Tanya :) As a second-year gardener I find these monthly updates incredibly useful and am gathering many ideas to try. The nine-star broccoli looks fantastic!
Also a MASSIVE thank you to my friend, Liz Zorab for introducing me to EcoFlow. She's using their solar panels and portable power station too as you can see here: th-cam.com/video/FQ_gnIGC93U/w-d-xo.html
I'm so pleased that you love the EcoFlow system as much as I do!
I’ve just started watching Liz, saw her Ecoflow too. I’ve never heard anyone say hello in quite the way she does and I can’t quite emulate it but my daughter’s dog pricks up his ears when I try! 😂
I have Ecoflow envy!
I used news paper over my carrots for the first time this year. Keep it moist and after a week check it every other day until germination starts. It worked great! As you said. This could work with other seed as well. Get a trail cam and place it near the burrow to discover its inhabitant. Neil in Oregon
I'm in awe of how fast that ecoflow charged. Your garden is always just beautiful. I enjoy seeing the allotment as well as the home garden, you certainly are a busy girl with both.
Putting boards down is also a useful way to catch slugs. Slugs can take a whole row of newly germinated carrots before you know that they have germinates.
Yes done this board over parsnips before.
I have tried the board and it has worked wonderfully 😍😍
I can visualise how an eco flow could help people in countries like Nepal, far more than those of us with functioning electricity available all year. But yes for outdoor situations even in countries like ours where no electricity connection it would be very useful though not trekking only camping at a campsite. For me if I had one I could get a little garden shed I could certainly benefit from one to make my soap products.
Everything is looking so lush at the allotment, Tanya. Solar panel is very interesting. Relative to the rats…..I saw a video several months ago where a man had something eating all his vegetables at night. He set up a camera to find out what it was. Rats. He eliminated them by putting out a mixture of 1:1 white flour and baking soda. Eliminated the rats. Some people commented that they mix with water and make little balls. Some added peanut butter as well. He simply put it in a plastic cottage cheese container and cut a hole big enough for the rats to put their head in and set it on its side so it wouldn’t get wet. Nothing to contaminate the crops. Just wanted to share that with you.
Tanya your garden is beautiful. I enjoy your videos. Our garden season is barely starting here in north Idaho, USA, but I love watching my favorite UK 🇬🇧 gardeners until I can get into my garden. ❤️ TeresaSue
How great didn't expect solar power in your vid loved how excited you got 👍🤣🤣 got the hose out yesterday watched birds bathing in our fountain adorable
You sure are working hard you deserve a great season of produce , Love ❤️ your garlic patch , Don’t seem to have much luck with Garlic do you have any secrets ?.
Hi Tanya. I've always left perpetual spinach in the ground and kept cutting it back. The leaves don't go bitter. They return to being soft and small.
Your garden is fantastic! Thank you for sharing it with us. I also garden and make garden videos. It’s a lot of work. I appreciate the tips, tricks and inspiration your videos provide. I hope that we can not learn from each other as we grow!
Hi Dear Friend! Thank you and have a happy weekend!😊👍12
Happy weekend too!
Looking at the prices of some of these kits, I have just paid more to have the weather-proofing on the flat-roof of my house done! Thinking of how much money I could save by using one of these to power the appliances around my house instead of paying the burgeoning costs of my electricity bills (set to go up MORE before the end of the year, where I am, too!) really makes me want one of these systems!
Great Video 😊 I learned a lot 🙏🏼
Wows beautiful 😍
I use a board and or a large piece of wood but I prop it up a bit with bricks or wood pieces to keep it slightly off the ground and it keeps the ground moist and usually get carrots in about 5 days.
Love the sign on the shed door,lalaaland..🤗
A gentleman who lives down the road from the allotment made it for us. It was such a sweet gift :)
Thanks Tanya! Wife and I are enjoying your videos from Florida. Your garden is looking great! We put in metal raised gardens last year and our garden is flourishing from the warm sunshine. Keep up the great work!
Ooh...metal raised beds are the thing right now. Yours must look great and be producing tons of veg in that lovely weather you have down there :)
Great video! I let my perpetual spinach go to seed. The seedlings that come up the next spring are early and easy to recognise so I leave them be when I weed :)
So pleased you also know Jess from Roots & Refuge
💖😊💖
I'd power my electric tea kettle while camping and charging phones and video equipment! All the comforts!
Aaaaaargh, first Liz, now you - I may have to get an Ecoflow system after all... Have been a bit hesitant because of the upfront cost, tbh. But with rising energy costs, it's beginning to make sense.
Great movie - loads of handy info - and i have been wondering when is there going to be an easy moderately priced green energy solution available so this Ecoflow is perfect. I went to the the site straight away, the mini was sold out! Is this because of you!! ;-) So anyway im on the mailing list, the sunniest bit of my garden is on the shed roof, so I would just place the solar panels there and use all the energy in my garden workshop. Thank you for enlightening me!
Here in Florida we get lots (expect lots more this year) hurricanes and resulting electric outages. Most needed are freezer and refrigerator, fans, lights. We could cook outside but having coffee in AM, oh yeah, alarm clocks, would make life better. I know that camera overheat during filming in the summer but would heat have anything to do with this, also?
Such good uses for it...freezer/fridge absolutely here too! I'm not entirely sure about the unit overheating due to heat. Electronic anything doesn't seem to play well in hot direct sun tho?
I might look into the solar power solution, my electricity bill has gone up a lot lately and anything that will reduce it in the long term is worth considering.
Yep my Swiss chard is 3 years it feeds me all year long.
The plank idea is genius !! It will stop the soil drying out before the seeds germinate.Why would it not work ?? Only one worry.......Slugs may also love it under the board to ?????
Thank you for this.
Love the Ecoflow, but too expensive for me I'm afraid. Your allotment is looking wonderful. Its a great time of year for seed sowing and growing. Happy gardening!
Thanks so much, Jenny -- this is the best time of the year! Spring is springing 😍💚
Bring along a small refrigerator for camping . Don't need to keep buying ice for the cooler. Charging phones while camping. Portable electric burner instead of buying propane. Any electronic device. Ever thought of bringing a toaster or coffee maker for camping? Why burn wood for heat? I know, I know. Gotta grill something. This is the first time I heard about portable panels. Great video. Very informative.
cracking video
Wouldn't it be easier to get a cordless grass trimmer and then recharge the batteries with EcoFlow?
I would use it to charge a car battery and phone , lamps but it still expensive for us.
i want one of them Ecoflow, but too expensive for me hope the price comes down a lot soon
Solar panels or power is wonderful. My concern is the environmental impact of there manufacturing and disposal.
The disposal is the same process as for any other lithium battery. I checked beforehand and am satisfied with both product's environmental standards :)
you are a rare breed, sad that we never find our soulmates
Maybe she did.
Ecoflow are really pushing this. Many gardeners on You Tube have been given them.
I love you...you are so humble... unlike the girls on here selling their souls for likes while lying. You are a mature woman like me who still finds joy in first times. Downloaded this so I can refer to later keep going your Tribe will find you. I have an international foundation. Let me know how I can help
I have Swiss chard that comes back every year.
As in it dies down over winter and regrows?
Only had mine for one year, but it did indeed die down over summer (45 deg C!) and again over winter (only down to 1 deg C, but colder than usual for us; coldest winter in more than 15 years,) then sprout again this Spring.
Those powerpacks are indeed wonderful. I have one myself. However it is not correct to say the electricity is free. You have to pay for the unit itself and it has its own environmental cost, a huge cost in destruction for mine the minerals, especially the lithium, used in their production. Also the unit does not have unlimited life span. In about 10 years or 800 charges it will fail and need replacing. The solar panel will last about 20 years and need replacing. So yes they are wonderful but they are not free and they are not more environmentally gentle than other methods of getting power, especially if you don't consider carbon dioxide to be a pollution. Other than that I very much enjoyed your vlog. I am going to be planting basssicas for the first time this year, as an experiment, so I was delighted to be able to learn from you. Thank you.
I want to job with you
Nice blog until you rammed a product, oh well, shame
