Maggie is such a little rascal 😂 We found her on the ROOF the other day. She climbs the pebbledash like Spiderman, then launches herself down to the ground after. She's crazy!
You are so welcome, and remember, don't rush with seed sowing. You'll see a lot of folks sowing things in January and early February on social media. Sometimes it's because they're in a warmer climate, but oftentimes it's just a newbie mistake. Here's a good way to know when you can begin sowing seeds in your region: lovelygreens.com/when-can-i-start-sowing-seeds/
Here in Illinois in the USA, I am mapping out my garden and starting sweet potato slips, a new crop for me. I can’t imagine all the planning you are doing in the midst of moving! Thank you for the video! 🌺
I'm hoping that we can make the move and I can get the new greenhouse repaired before I have too many seedlings on my hands! 😂 Sweet potatoes are something that I've never tried growing as they wouldn't do well here outdoors. I'll try them out one day though -- when I have a polytunnel and room to spare 🌱
Hi from Guernsey! We had a “bridge” with you last year till Covid struck again for both of our islands. We’re back in lockdown but like you, hopefully not for too long! Thank goodness I have my little veg plot to start organising!
Yeah! UK London 5a Balcony here! Just got Lavender in the fridge and getting pots ready. I am setting up the trellis and stakes. Not seeding anything indoors before March.
That is amazing that on your island you will be able to see other people. I live in a cold climate and my last frost date is May 10th usually. So February I like to start sewing things that take a while like peppers, ground cherries, jalapenos and flowers. I'm also experimenting with stratifying seeds in my fridge and am stratifying grape seeds to try to grow from seeds. I've so far been able to grow 3 strawberry plants from seeds I stratified in the fridge. Those are on my windowcill.
Great February garden jobs! Yes, it's a unique place here as we're an isolated island and have a low population. Much easier to manage than a larger country!
Here in New Zealand I am making sauces and preserves from our summer fruits and veg crops, while also continuing to sow seed of bok choy, kohlrabi, broccoli and other winter veg. I so love watching your videos and Maggie is a little darling. She was up to all sort of little tricks behind you. Best wishes for your move.
Your late summer preserving sounds divine! As for Maggie, I was laughing so hard while reviewing the video footage after 😂 I actually had to re-shoot one part in front of the greenhouse since she'd gone inside, climbed up on the staging, and knocked over some pots. Kittens! 💚
Excellent February Garden jobs video Tanya and good to be getting the strawberries done. It won't be long before we're busy in the garden/allotment. It's been snowing overnight in Scotland.
There's still a chunk of winter ahead for many of us, and it could be that we all have snow before it's out! I used to feel compelled to begin sowing seeds in January and early Feb, when I'd first see folks sharing seedling photos online. It's so much better to just wait, be patient, and sow when you know is best for your region.
I'm only at the drawing phase of my garden layout right now. Still too many months of cold/snow to go through yet. You are so fortunate to not have to wear masks and someone else commented on how strange it is to see people together, and I agree. This pandemic, and almost a year of wearing masks, has altered so much of what was once normal and I hope we are not forever scarred with the thought of being around people.
A friend moved back to the Island last year, from London, and still suffers from anxiety from being in crowded situations. I think after Covid has passed, we're going to unfortunately see a lot of that. On a more positive note, enjoy your garden planning and dreaming -- spring will be here when it gets here :)
This week I started onions, celery, and peppers under (my first) grow light. In February the cedar for my new beds should be arriving and then there will be a ton to do, building and filling those and moving all my current plants so I can make beds in the old space. I'm doubling my overall garden so it will be a big but exciting job!!
That sounds very exciting! Cedar will be great for raised beds. I'm also gardening in a new plot this year, so that should be interesting. Heading up a community garden for the first time. Repairs are first on my to-do list.
I wish we could get cedar here for raised beds -- it's gorgeous, naturally deters insects, and lasts a long time. Good luck with your late winter projects and in doubling your growing space! 😍💚
@@Lovelygreens thanks so much! I didn't realize until I really started getting into gardening how lucky I am to have cedar available to me here on Vancouver Island. It's still not inexpensive, but at least it's a splurge-worthy option!
I'm just the otherside of the Irish Sea in Lancashire.. but we will be lockdown for a few more weeks. Good luck with the house move. I've gone a little crazy on Home Automation in lockdown. I've now got my Greenhouse Heaters automated via SAMSUNG Smartthings and Bluetooth temp,Humidity sensors. Given time I'm going for some automated irrigation and automated blinds. Vents semi auto on rams but need better control.... The soonerI can rotavate the better :)
I already sowed some onions and leeks from seed in January which are coming through in the home heated propagator and they will stay under the growlamp for now. In my allotment greenhouse I have iceberg type lettuce which have germinated and put some shallot bulbs in modules to start off until the ground is in a better state to plant them. I have to weed and prepare my strawberry bed and I have just received my strawberry plants of 'Elsanta' and 'Malling Centenary', so I might pot them up like you have done. I plant my strawberries in the ground outside, but the whole bed is covered with a large 'Access cold frame' (made from aluminium and safety glass) where the sides and roof panes slide on runners so you can adjust ventilation. I have grown melons in it in the past also - I put down weed suppressing membrane and plant the strawberries through that. I also started some chillies and aubergines from seed at home. I am leaving tomatoes until late February or early March this year also. Good luck with the house move.
I'm fascinated with this 'Access cold frame' that you're using. I'm off to google that just now. Thanks for watching Duncan and sharing what else you're up to. I have both Elsanta and Malling Centenary in the strawberry patch now too 👍🙂
@@Lovelygreens It might be an idea to have one in your new back garden. They are very good quality and can stand up to any snow, high winds - I've got 2 in the last 12 years. They have a 25 year frame guarantee - and were originally designed for commercial strawberry growers in the 1950's I believe, however you can use them to grow just about anything.
They're a lovely wild-strawberry flavored berry. The best thing about them is that they're day-neutral too -- in the right conditions, they can keep producing berries right through summer.
just done my strawberry bed to your instructions. Also done my trench and trellis for Raspberries & Tayberries, just waiting for them to be delivered. Potatoes are late to be delivered due to COVID ....Tomatoes,Aubergines,Peppers in the propagtor, I hope this this cold spell ends soon. Oranges & Satsumas are ripening in the greenhouse.
I haven't started anything yet I do need to get more seeds I need to get a gardening plan done before the end of February and start cleaning everything up in the garden. I would love to just have a table garden so I don't have to bend over this year and have my watering on a water timer that would help a lot
Sitting here in SW Ontario in the depth of winter I am just planning my planting schedule for this spring! Will start sowing my indoor seeds in early March April 18 - May 1 is kind of our last Frost days....however Spring of 2020 we had a heavy Frost May 18/19 that took out most of my tomatoes! Always a new challenge! Great video and good luck with the move! Mike 👍😁🇨🇦
I start everything on Feb 1. Our last frost date is March 15, so I'm going to start seeding everything on Feb 1 and keeping it our solar until I'm sure the frost is past. By then I should have a good head start before the Texas heat arrives and burns everything up. Good luck on your move.
Spring gardening would be so much easier if everyone was as aware of their last frost date as you. Knowing when it's safe to put plants outside gives you a date to count back from and to know when to sow. That date is different for everyone -- sometimes even for folks within the same zone. All the best for your spring garden Santiago! 🌱
Strawberries,......Every year in July, all my strawberries are lifted and potted, along with any runners I may need. This frees up the bed for my Autunm and Winter carrots and roots.These are finished in Feb/ March and my Strawberries return.

Thank you for your tips. I was going to sow my sweet peas in the next week or so - indoors but taking outside during daytime to harden them (I'm in middle England). Bits of path and edging work to be done and mulching.
Yay for sweet peas! 💚 I'm starting some indoors this week too. I've just received a new variety called 'Matucana' and as soon as they have shoots about an inch tall, I'll put them out in the greenhouse. They'll stop growing for a bit, but will start again as it warms up. I'll harden them off in May just before planting them outside.
I wish I live close or just an hour, I love seeds and been planting now for my garden and it’s a lot of work here and not done yet. Hopefully it will be done before the school starts 🙏🏻😇🥰
Remember to be patient with seed sowing -- one of the biggest mistakes that folks make when sowing seeds this time of the year is sowing seeds at all. If you're in Britain, it's best to not begin sowing anything until the middle of February. You won't be able to safely harden off and plant seedlings outside until at least mid-April. Sowing too early = plants that get too big before you can plant them outside. Here's more on when you can begin sowing seeds, based on last frost dates: lovelygreens.com/when-can-i-start-sowing-seeds/
All these jobs are excellent ideas - my plot will relish them - when can you start? The plot is in the Midlands. Thanks v much. I'd do it myself but my back's playing up. Just pop the key through the letter box when you're done!
I love how wonderfully presented your videos are. Brilliant job! I'm in central Spain and so far I've had a busy February: I've sown tomatoes, peppers, beetroot, lettuce, peas and broad beans; I've sown flowers and have them in the fridge going through the stratification process; turned my compost; done the year's planting plan; tried and failed miserably to procure manure or compost at a decent price and ummmed and ahhhed relentlessly on whether to dig up the garden or not. Instinct says no, but I have little decomposed organic material to add to the soil 🤷♀️. Any thoughts?
I don't make enough compost to use in my garden so supplement it with organic horse manure delivered from a local stable. If it's left to age, it's just another type of compost and one I can get a lot of for practically nothing.
@@daniellemacgregor6848 oh the UK! I wonder how she has green there now. I’m in Kansas which is much further south from there & we still have a lot of freezing weather ahead. Everything is dormant here now.
That's right, I'm on the Isle of Man in Britain. There's no exact equivalent in our climate to anyplace in North America, but if you're going strictly by frost dates then we're zone 8-9. Very mild summers and winters but we don't see summer heat, in the same way that zones 8-9 in the US can. Our latitude is comparable to the middle of Canada, but we stay warm thanks to the gulf stream.
my plans are for growing ginger...i was wondering if sweet potatoes are grown like white potatoes?...it's so funny to watch Maggie as she is identical to my grand-kitty, Gizmo...(and he's as nutty as Maggie)...thank you for another great video...can't wait to check out your new home garden space...
Gizmo is such a cute name for a zippy little kitten 😍 I too am growing ginger again this year, and am beginning with supermarket ginger. As for sweet potatoes, they need more warmth than ordinary potatoes and don't grow in exactly the same way. I've never tried since they wouldn't do well in my climate but I'm sure there's someone here on TH-cam who can help.
How are the ollas you did years ago doing? I used them in my window boxes and they did really well. I am planing on starting a garden for the first time.
I use them every year in the greenhouse -- they work great! Currently, they're empty and waiting out winter inside the greenhouse. Since they're open pots, rather than have a narrow neck like traditional ollas, they're also easy to clean out.
Maggie's stealing the show running around behind you.😀 I'd love to grow tomatoes but the spider mites were hard to control. I failed in growing strawberries in the past. Maybe I'll try it this year. Right now, I'm planning the layout of my pots and building tables, and such. I can't grow edibles in the ground--slugs. And I don't want to keep buying slug pellets. I live in Hawaii, so our tropical weather is an ideal place for all kinds of bugs that make themselves at home.
She definitely did! haha 😂 As for spider mites you might also want to consider giving your greenhouse a very thorough clean in Feb/March and replace all of the soil and compost. Some spider mites overwinter as adults in the soil, especially in temperate climates. Also, one of the best controls for them is another type of insect that eats the mites, especially the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis. You can purchase 'biological controls' from gardening supply websites that work by introducing these predatory mites to your growing space. They don't harm you or anything else, are approved for organic gardening, and will help sort out the spider mite problem without having to use synthetic sprays. Here's a video on how I deep clean the greenhouse and the organic product I use: th-cam.com/video/bumwDr0DmTw/w-d-xo.html
@@Lovelygreens I live in sort of a greenhouse. I'm from Hawaii, so bugs are hard to control. I have all my soft edibles are in pots and on tables I built from pallets. I'll think of something. Thanks for your response.
@@da1stamericus Yep, soap and water works but living in Hawaii, bugs love living here. I'd have to spray something or other too often. I'll find a way. thanks for your suggestion.
@@surfit. How wonderful to grow in such a tropical climate! One non-toxic pesticide that you can use on edibles is neem oil so definitely look at that. Also, when there are infestations of bugs outside (no matter where you are), it can mean that something is not balanced in your garden. It could be that the soil needs enriching, that there's too much dead plant material lying around for pests to live in, or that plants are stressed in some way. Good luck with dealing with spider mites.
I’ve sewn everything except corn, peas, and green beans that need direct sowing. I think I should e waiting because my tomato seeds sprouted in two days. It’s really hard finding the space and keeping them all alive until it’s warm enough to plant them out. However, I am getting his tunnel soon...by the first week in March. I. Crossing my fingers that it comes sooner.😂
If you're in Britain, or a comparable climate, you've sown everything way too early. I'll sow corn and beans in mid-April, and peas after the middle of next month. If you sow seeds too early, they become too big and leggy by the time you can plant them out (after your region's last frost). That means weak plants that don't produce and that will be a waste of your time and effort. Be patient and sow seeds when it's the right time for your region. If you don't know your gardening zone right now, and your last frost date, get to know it now :)
Hi,Just discovered your channel and hearing you talk about potato blight made me wonder if you have tried any of the Sarpo varieties. I have grown them for a number of years and they have always been blight free.
Taking notes even though our seasons are pretty much opposite to yours in Isle of man being in Queenland australia here. I am quite envious of your garden and all the space too. I only have a balcony as I live in council housing but I'm hoping to speak with the department and my neighbours to see if I can use a small patch that's downstair near all the carpark spaces, it's only about 3 metres by 3 metres ,if that.. but since they just removed the tree's from there :( , Imay as well, I know if it's used well it could still fit quite a lot of gorgeous plants in it. What worries me is the feral cats using it as a litter tray lol. Or the mower guys just destroying it.. :( this has happened to me before in rentals and it's just so devastating! They don't listen to me :(
Good luck with using the spare patch of land to garden. Clear communication with your landlord, and maybe a sign asking not to strim, would be a good place to start :)
Take a look at 'Home Grown Veg' in Cumbria, just across the water from where you are. He did an experiment on chitting potatoes. He did some in the normal way, and he planted some in yogurt pots to compare. The difference was amazing.
Hello! Since you are moving, where are you putting your greenhouse leafy transplants? Are you eventually moving those to the plot, or just waiting for the new house garden?
Hola Tania, soy seguidor tuyo y me gustaría saber para cuando subtítulos en español de tus vídeos, mi inglés no es muy bueno y me cuesta entender todo lo que nos enseñas. Gracias y saludos cordiales. Fran
I feel I’ll need to watch this twice as so far all I’ve been watching is the cat! She’s epic!
At 2:15 I think I saw her leap over the fence!
Maggie is such a little rascal 😂 We found her on the ROOF the other day. She climbs the pebbledash like Spiderman, then launches herself down to the ground after. She's crazy!
YES that was Maggie 😂 Someone else thought it was a squirrel
Great advice on strawberries, and the kitty is adorable!
She's an adorable little rascal and I'm glad I can let her outside to play now 🙂
Maggie is such a cute distraction, zooming about in the background 😍 thanks for your videos, they're so helpful for a relative newbie like me 🙏

Hi Tanya. Lovely video.❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for these tips, I can´t wait for spring and real gardening. I´ve just sown Coleus seeds today to cheer up my gardening spirit...
Get ready to sow even more...it's almost time :)
I'm enjoying the harvesting of my summer crops here in New Zealand. Maggie is just too cute, very cute distraction lol
She's such a bundle of energy and so excited when I'm outside, and she has an audience 😂 Enjoy your summer bounty!
Thank you so much.Very informative program.😁
Lots to be done. Potted my Borage and parsley up today. Made 2 new hoop tunnels and a little tidy up.
There's no pause in the gardening year!
Love your videos Tanya. Such a pretty place you live and your vids are so relaxing.
Thank you so much! 💚
Thank you so much for the timely reminder! I’d forgotten to order my runners. Paused. Done. Now returning to watch the rest of the video 😄
You are so welcome! Which variety did you order?

I'm in central Spain and so far I've had a busy February: I've sown tomatoes, peppers, beetroot, lettuce, peas and broad beans; I've sown flowers and have them in the fridge going through the stratification process; turned my compost; done the year's planting plan; tried and failed miserably to procure manure or compost at a decent price and ummmed and ahhhed relentlessly on whether to dig up the garden or not. Instinct says no, but I have little decomposed organic material to add to the soil 🤷♀️. Any thoughts?
I don't make enough compost to use in my garden so supplement it with organic horse manure delivered from a local stable. If it's left to age, it's just another type of compost and one I can get a lot of for practically nothing.
Main thing missing in the intro is the zone you’re in. It’s pretty pertinent to follow you!
I do not know if the UK uses zones like in North America.
@@daniellemacgregor6848 oh the UK! I wonder how she has green there now. I’m in Kansas which is much further south from there & we still have a lot of freezing weather ahead. Everything is dormant here now.
That's right, I'm on the Isle of Man in Britain. There's no exact equivalent in our climate to anyplace in North America, but if you're going strictly by frost dates then we're zone 8-9. Very mild summers and winters but we don't see summer heat, in the same way that zones 8-9 in the US can. Our latitude is comparable to the middle of Canada, but we stay warm thanks to the gulf stream.
@@Lovelygreens sounds like an ideal place to garden!!
my plans are for growing ginger...i was wondering if sweet potatoes are grown like white potatoes?...it's so funny to watch Maggie as she is identical to my grand-kitty, Gizmo...(and he's as nutty as Maggie)...thank you for another great video...can't wait to check out your new home garden space...
Gizmo is such a cute name for a zippy little kitten 😍 I too am growing ginger again this year, and am beginning with supermarket ginger. As for sweet potatoes, they need more warmth than ordinary potatoes and don't grow in exactly the same way. I've never tried since they wouldn't do well in my climate but I'm sure there's someone here on TH-cam who can help.
How are the ollas you did years ago doing? I used them in my window boxes and they did really well. I am planing on starting a garden for the first time.
I use them every year in the greenhouse -- they work great! Currently, they're empty and waiting out winter inside the greenhouse. Since they're open pots, rather than have a narrow neck like traditional ollas, they're also easy to clean out.
Maggie's stealing the show running around behind you.😀 I'd love to grow tomatoes but the spider mites were hard to control. I failed in growing strawberries in the past. Maybe I'll try it this year. Right now, I'm planning the layout of my pots and building tables, and such. I can't grow edibles in the ground--slugs. And I don't want to keep buying slug pellets. I live in Hawaii, so our tropical weather is an ideal place for all kinds of bugs that make themselves at home.
I bought diatomaceous earth. It's helped slit, along with. Washing the plants with soap and water.
She definitely did! haha 😂 As for spider mites you might also want to consider giving your greenhouse a very thorough clean in Feb/March and replace all of the soil and compost. Some spider mites overwinter as adults in the soil, especially in temperate climates. Also, one of the best controls for them is another type of insect that eats the mites, especially the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis. You can purchase 'biological controls' from gardening supply websites that work by introducing these predatory mites to your growing space. They don't harm you or anything else, are approved for organic gardening, and will help sort out the spider mite problem without having to use synthetic sprays.
Here's a video on how I deep clean the greenhouse and the organic product I use: th-cam.com/video/bumwDr0DmTw/w-d-xo.html
@@Lovelygreens I live in sort of a greenhouse. I'm from Hawaii, so bugs are hard to control. I have all my soft edibles are in pots and on tables I built from pallets. I'll think of something. Thanks for your response.
@@da1stamericus Yep, soap and water works but living in Hawaii, bugs love living here. I'd have to spray something or other too often. I'll find a way. thanks for your suggestion.
@@surfit. How wonderful to grow in such a tropical climate! One non-toxic pesticide that you can use on edibles is neem oil so definitely look at that. Also, when there are infestations of bugs outside (no matter where you are), it can mean that something is not balanced in your garden. It could be that the soil needs enriching, that there's too much dead plant material lying around for pests to live in, or that plants are stressed in some way. Good luck with dealing with spider mites.
I’ve sewn everything except corn, peas, and green beans that need direct sowing. I think I should e waiting because my tomato seeds sprouted in two days. It’s really hard finding the space and keeping them all alive until it’s warm enough to plant them out. However, I am getting his tunnel soon...by the first week in March. I. Crossing my fingers that it comes sooner.😂
If you're in Britain, or a comparable climate, you've sown everything way too early. I'll sow corn and beans in mid-April, and peas after the middle of next month. If you sow seeds too early, they become too big and leggy by the time you can plant them out (after your region's last frost). That means weak plants that don't produce and that will be a waste of your time and effort. Be patient and sow seeds when it's the right time for your region. If you don't know your gardening zone right now, and your last frost date, get to know it now :)
Hi,Just discovered your channel and hearing you talk about potato blight made me wonder if you have tried any of the Sarpo varieties. I have grown them for a number of years and they have always been blight free.
Sarpo and Wilja are OK. I always do at least one of each just in case.
Taking notes even though our seasons are pretty much opposite to yours in Isle of man being in Queenland australia here. I am quite envious of your garden and all the space too. I only have a balcony as I live in council housing but I'm hoping to speak with the department and my neighbours to see if I can use a small patch that's downstair near all the carpark spaces, it's only about 3 metres by 3 metres ,if that.. but since they just removed the tree's from there :( , Imay as well, I know if it's used well it could still fit quite a lot of gorgeous plants in it. What worries me is the feral cats using it as a litter tray lol. Or the mower guys just destroying it.. :( this has happened to me before in rentals and it's just so devastating! They don't listen to me :(
Good luck with using the spare patch of land to garden. Clear communication with your landlord, and maybe a sign asking not to strim, would be a good place to start :)
Take a look at 'Home Grown Veg' in Cumbria, just across the water from where you are. He did an experiment on chitting potatoes. He did some in the normal way, and he planted some in yogurt pots to compare. The difference was amazing.
Thanks for the tip!

Hello! Since you are moving, where are you putting your greenhouse leafy transplants? Are you eventually moving those to the plot, or just waiting for the new house garden?
Hopefully just moving from one greenhouse to the next!
Hi ya!.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice, what kind of tree is that behind you? With the little red flowers?
They're berries :) It's a holly tree
Nice accent, American with English pronunciations and words, if that makes sense, new here not sure where you’re from but very good video! Thanks
2:17 Squirrel! Right behind our lovely host!
Squirrel is a good nickname for Maggie 😂 We don't have squirrels or chipmunks here, though I have loved watching them in other parts of the world.
👍
My mara de bois is rather tasteless but marshmello are fantastic.

Great show today! Check out Malcolm Kingswell and allotments for fun and food
Hola Tania, soy seguidor tuyo y me gustaría saber para cuando subtítulos en español de tus vídeos, mi inglés no es muy bueno y me cuesta entender todo lo que nos enseñas. Gracias y saludos cordiales. Fran
How come my strawberries just never grow !
You could post some photos and an explanation of how you're growing them in the Lovely Greens Community Group on Facebook if you want to get help :)
av a cupa, dont mind if i do
I thought you would be in your new home by now.
I guess I should have watched longer before asking the question----
It's all taking much longer than expected. We're almost there :)

So strange seeing all those people in closed cuarters, no masks.
I'll bet it is!
Will you marry me? 🙂 🌹
