    The yellow one is Lady's Mantle, it's a brute don't let it set seed. Yarrow is the other anon. You've worked hard. Just found you so am going back to watch no. 1

    An absolute transformation 🤭🤭 although I must say I miss the red poppies. But really Christine you have created a most stunning haven and shared it with us all, thank you for that. Here’s to many many more years of enjoying on the Fox and Shed Allotment. Happy gardening 🧑‍🌾, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

      Thank you Ali, I am pleased with the plot, just hoping I don't want to change too much now!

    Hi Christine, You have created a beautiful allotment plot, I love the neatness and order. The white flower floppy plant is Achilliea, Mine does exactly the same. I'm not that keen on it's unruly behaviour. The one next to it the limey green flower is Alchemilea mollis "lady's mantle" i think. Thank you for sharing 🐞🌻🌱

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much! I agree it is a floppy plant which is a shame because the flower is sweet. 😊

    I love your plot Christine. You have come so far and created such a wonderful little gardening sanctuary in that time.
    Everything looks so healthy and so neatly planted. The archway will look lovely as an entrance to the plot, I agree.
    Polytunnel is such a lovely addition isn’t it? What a change for your growing space.
    Here’s to many, many years on your beautiful plot and thank you for sharing it with us.
    I love that we add twinning on this anniversary 😊

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Aw thank you so much, really kind of you. Yes twinning on Anniversary! Really rather keen to get the archway up even though that's not essential, sweet talking the family on that one! Also big hugs to you on the loss of your dog, a very lucky dog to have been with you all that time but I know the loss is huge and difficult. ❤

    I have those same shoe racks 😀 I used them to raise small plant up to the growlights. And now they’re folded and put away for next year. So easy, and take very little room to store.

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good tip - I hadn't thought of them indoors with the grow lights! Thank you 😊

    Your plot is the most beautiful of all plots ive seen, you inspired me soooo much! I have got a shed now and painted it bright white and i love it ! I hope my plot looks as good as yours soon! I have got a second hand greenhouse being put up on saturday and was thinking about making a bit of staging, and i have already got one of those ikea shoe racks, still in the packaging! So im going ti do the same as you, brilliant idea! And the netting is a fantastic idea too… right i need to go and get some bits from ikea! Thankyou so much!

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Aw that's so kind, thank you. I love the idea of a white shed 😊 I am very much of the mind: make it your plot, a happy place, personalise it to your needs and don't worry if it is different to your plot neighbours. Have fun with IKEA purchases. 🙂🌻

  • @RobinGardens
    @RobinGardens 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What a transformation.
    The one with succulent, serrated leaves and yellow flowers is Lady's Mantle. It reseeds well so may want to trim flower heads if you don't want it to spread.

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you Robin, good tip - I probably would have left it and found it everywhere!

    Don't let that alchemilla mollis set seed. It's a pretty thing and my wife loves it, but if you don't cut it back the moment it's finished flowering, you'll find yourself digging it out of everywhere for the rest of your life. The achillea will take over everything, so it would be great in a bare unused corner somewhere

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for the tips, I'm shocked at how certain plants really grow and others just sit there!

    I’ve used the blue water pipe for net support over beds, but your metal ones look much more substantial, where did you get them from, great plot as well.

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They are from First Tunnels, cloche hoops, I chose to buy two and then a support bar across the top with the clips. They cut the bars to your requested size, super helpful with everything if you email or phone them. 😊

    What a transformation, you’ve done a lot in a year!! LOVE the ikea hacks, especially the curtain.
    Jealous of your onions!! In terms of the plant you’re unsure of it’s Achillea (the white one) and alchemilla mollis which I’ve just ordered for my garden 😊
    Thank you for a lovely video 😃

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The flowers you said that has taken over with the white small flowers looks like Yarrow. That is what we call it in the States.

    • @tathimitchell
      @tathimitchell 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's what I thought too. I have the same in my garden (in the States) and they spread like crazy!

      Definitely yarrow, Christine

    • @lindacapen500
      @lindacapen500 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The white Yarrow can be used medicinally for many things. Google it and then harvest some and dry to have on hand.

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @suegunn7210

    The green plant with soft green leaves and yellow flowers is Alchemilla Mollis. A lovely perennial which holds raindrops on the leaves like little jewels!

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you, I'll be sure to look at the leaves when I water now 😊

    @Garden-of-weeden 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The white flowered pete I’ll looks to be yarrow… I’d cut back a little and see how it responds. Yarrow is great for cuts❤ your plot is looking amazing!!!! Well done you!

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

  • @juliefowkes9796

    Hi Christine, your plot looks amazing for just one year! The perennial is an achillea (yarrow)

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the info, I've given it quite a trim today so hoping it doesn't mind!

  • @Karenattheplot
    @Karenattheplot 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The yellow one is alchemilla molis.

  • @lindacapen500
    @lindacapen500 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You can also plant your sweet corn much closet together. That helps them support each other and as they rustle in the breeze it helps pollinate each other.

    • @LittleGreenShedAllotment
      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you - that's good to know, I had real trouble germinating them but I may try and pop some more in.

    • @jofarrell4488
      @jofarrell4488 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @LittleGreenShedAllotment  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi, thank you, to hold the netting I use garden clips, they're stainless steel, come in two sizes from Amazon. The larger ones work for the wood, smaller clip the cloche hoops. 😊

  • @rebeccazody1278
    @rebeccazody1278 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I purchased mosquito netting to use to cover my squash, gourds, blueberries. I think this prolific grower is yarrow.

    The first one might be a form of achillea....not sure....perhaps Google that....there's several different colours.
