We really enjoy your content and think work-life balance is important. It's not worth the stress to do a video every week. Do one twice a month. Even once a month! Whatever works for you :)
I couldn’t agree more! Work life balance is so important, so please do what works best for you. Thank you for all the work you put into sharing your craft with us. As a photographer I completely understand the amount of work it takes behind the scenes. Thank you again!
Your new patio furniture is beautiful, Tanya. The gardens are amazing. It’s hard to believe you’ve been able to do all this in two years while tending the allotment gardens, making soap, doing videos,etc. You and Josh are great team. I remember the first video of this property. What a transformation! As for videos every week….do what you can. No one can (or should) ask more than that. They’re always interesting and informative. 💖😊
Thank you! The allotment is no more, but that's a reason why I've been able to dedicate more time to the home garden. It really has transformed since April 2021! I appreciate your feedback on more videos too 💚
Love your video's! As for the frequency of them: Do them as you have time for it and as it makes YOU happy. Enjoying your work and live is the top priority! Thanks for sharing your time with us. 🥰
I just dug up onions and potatoes here yesterday. Videos to come. Thank you for being such an inspiration! I just made some homemade soap while using your guide yesterday.
@@LovelygreensI used your eco-friendly cold process soap recipe but I added in some dried crushed peppermint from my own garden, and Brazilian oils from Rainforestchica as my superfats. I used rose oil from Morocco, Brazilian grey clay and tea tree oil from Australia when I added fragrance at the end. It’s curing now! Thank you so much.
Love your videos Tanya, but don't stress yourself out! If I may suggest for future videos, growing flowers and fruit and vegetables in different containers, e.g. In the vegepod, window boxes, and all types of raised beds. And something for us disabled gardeners who can only garden at waist height. Thank you so much Tanya and Josh too! Not forgetting Maggie, she's gorgeous.
Hello Tanya Lovely Greens. Thank you for the tour of your lovely garden and all thats going on in it . The weather has been awful these last few weeks. I am growing dwarf type Tomatoes in pots some in two minnie glass houses but most just outdoors in pots. Do you think they will be okay with all this rain we have had in Yorkshire ? They are constantly soaking wet . Ive got lots of Tomatoes but all green. Is this due to lack of sunshine ? Thank you for any advice offered. By the way i know your work is never done. You are a very busy lady . Any time you have to spend on video offering your knowledge for free is wonderful. So for me, Whenever you can make a video its cool . Thank you Tanya Cya. 😄
😅 Maggie is such a terror! Hehehehe... Always up to something whenever she's in the video. Love love love your garden btw. So prolific and well organized.
As far as video frequency, you do what's best for you. Your followers will always want more! But the creator needs to find balance that is right for their life.😃💚
I would totally enjoy videos that are even 5 or 3 minutes. sometimes I dont have time to watch long ones either so a quick tip would be fun to pop in for!
You do what you can! We can all survive with watching and learning from you when you have to time to share with us. I would rather watch a great full of content video then a bunch of videos I learn little from. Short videos sound awesome too. Live your best life! Thanks!
What a wonderful garden. It makes me happy to see whats new and how the veggies are growing. I prefer longer videos to walk with you in your pace.... you give us the time to find a nice way. A shorter video will only tell us news
Love seeing the progression of your garden...My gardening climate is similar to yours so I appreciate seeing the plants you choose for your garden, tips and suggestions are always appreciated.
Both you and Josh have really turned your garden into your very own slice of heaven,but now you can reap the rewards,Thankyou for sharing it with us Tanya.
yes, we are spoiled by your awesome videos and like greedy little children, we'll take ALL that we can...🙃...it's important for you to have the time to enjoy the fruits of your labor...thank you for great videos...❤
Your garden looks amazing 🤩 please don’t feel pressured to make more videos if it’s too much for you. I really enjoy your videos and since I follow you on instagram I get a daily snippets of your garden every day. Maybe you can suggest people follow you on instagram at the end of your videos since you are pretty active in that platform. Thanks for all your work.
Your garden is looking amazing, so did that food. It's such a shame we don't have a Waitrose here, I'd love to try that! BTW it's lovely that you still do videos, no matter how or when, as it's just great to see your progress. A couple of garden youtubers rarely do videos at all now they are 'famously' doing garden stuff elsewhere. But I know you wouldn't do that, and I'm just grateful to see your videos when you can do them, you work really hard and it is also such a busy time of the year. A short video would be great, but as I said, when ever you can do them is just as cool, they're always really good!
Thank you so much, Amanda, and don't worry - I'll always make videos! It's just finding the right balance with the rest of my work and life. Let's see how it goes :) Also, which youtubers rarely make videos anymore? I'm curious now! 🙂
I’m a longtime subscriber, always watch your videos but seldom comment. Your content is awesome but I understand that there is life to be lived other than producing videos, so please make the adjustments that you need to make. I have my notifications bell on😊! Peace-
I love your garden videos. And one thing is very important. Never ever cross your own line. If you want to make those videos, you should. If you don't want to, then not. It's up to you. It shouldn't comsume you in a wrong way. But that is for you to decide. I love watching Maggie stroll down your garden though. She's so cute.
Thank you Jeanine 💚 I do enjoy making videos but, yes, I need to find the right balance. As for Maggie - she thinks it's her garden 😂 She is a little cutie
i have had zero luck this year. i experimented with a few different growing methods....plenty of leaf crop but not much root crop..i will look further into the way you do this plant magic next year.
With your onions? They really do love rich soil, and mine grow in a pretty thick layer of compost. They also like moisture and a consistent environment, and many people swear by growing from seed (not sets) for success. I hope you have a better outcome next year 🤞
Tanya youR garden is gorgeous and interesting. Thanks so much for sharing it all. I’m going to watch again because there’s so much to see. Yes I miss you weekly!
Looking forward to the indigo die video. Your garden is amazing and productive. You both have done so much in a short time. Nice patio furniture, enjoy the fruits of your labor 🌱
Short video is fantastic, I like to see short video with content propagation. You plant huge in the garden....I would like to see their propagation like you do in basil ( basil from market )❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I enjoy your content immensely and would be happy with any schedule. I wish you and Maggie were my neighbors! Also, I’m very excited for the indigo video! My next garden space is going to be a dyer’s garden.
I highly recommend that you find Rebecca Desnos, if you've not already. She's a natural dyer mainly on Instagram but has just released a new book on growing a dye garden. She's also a friend :)
I’m a very new subscriber. I know this sounds noncommittal but whatever you do for your own life and family, works for me. I like your content and like the longer form videos but a shorter one teaching about a single garden task or such would also be useful.
Hi Tanya, thanks for your beautifully put together films. Your garden is outstanding and it's a pleasure to see it mature from a blank cavas. Short video's would be great if you can manage. It would be nice to see how you use the prodce too sometimes, like a short recipe. Whatever you can manage though is very much enjoyed. Xxxx❤
Shorter videos are fine with me, love seeing you weekly. Understand things can get hectic, we are happy if you can make things easier for you. Other TH-camrs do more vlog style videos, could possibly also help by taking us along doing your chores. ❤
Loved the garden tour, quite inspirational how much you have achieved. I think it’s an excellent idea to produce short videos. I have noticed several of the TH-camrs I follow are doing this as this time of the year is so busy. I think your followers would also appreciate it as well as we too are busy harvesting and don’t always have the luxury of sitting down to a half-hour video much as we would like!
Love the idea of shorter videos intermixed with the longer ones. You might find that you reach a different audience with those too and get more subscribers as a result. Loving the garden too by the way. Inspiring!
Do your videos as you can. I know how difficult it can be at times to balance, work, life, exercise and gardening! I love seeing the changes from video to video. I am in the garden daily so I sometimes forget to enjoy the progress! So happy to see the wildflower trial update. I like how you used the white rock as an edging. I remember when you found them when you first started the new garden. Maggie can't seem to get enough "camera" time.🤣 Looking forward to seeing how your CA poppies grow, as I live in CA in the SF bay area. When will you start working on your pond? Thank you Tanya!♥
I came across an old video of yours re. Beekeeping (this is our first year and there is a lot to learn). Somehow thought you did not keep them anymore but I can see you have 3 hives.. beautiful garden! I really enjoy looking at the garden tours and love shoping from waitrose (the only place I can get some local reliable italian products😊)
Ah, it must be amazing to be able to grow them outdoors and let them do their thing. In Britain, they don't seem to produce many tubers other than below the main plant. Training up a wall in the greenhouse or polytunnel makes sense for us since it frees up space for other crops.
@@LovelygreensTOTALLY. I have mine planted in 5-20 gallon tubs 3 are growing against my garage up an old bed frame, one is growing in a tall wooded crate and I’m weaving the vines through the slats, and another is growing next to my steps, but I have it elevated about 3 ft with a tomato trellis, so the vines go up, then back down. They will still make air roots, but they can be trained.
I just love Maggie she is so cute. I can't wait to see you make the blue dye video it sounds very interesting and a shorter video on a certain task sounds interestin as wellxx
I loved your channel and i am certain many subscribers will not agree with how i find things, in the last 12 months Im find its lots of what i call advertising, i understand a channel needs support, but a grocery shop! and a rather expensive one at that is really not gardening related. I hope this comment from someone nearly 80 will not result in abuse from other subscribers. Yes i don’t have to watch but i really loved the channel in the past. I wish you luck and thank you i will continue to enjoy the books i purchased.
Hello, I cannot make videos as a job for free. They're available for you to watch for free here because I am paid on the back-end by sponsors and advertising. If you don't like them, you can always become a Patreon supporter and watch ad-free videos there. Or pay for TH-cam premium and see no ads.
Thank you for this lovely video,your garden looks so beautiful!!!!can't believe it's such a new garden ..and yet,plants look so established!!!your passion for gardening is contagious!!I'm curious to know what fertilizers /amendment (apart from compost )do you use in your soil??
Compost is pretty much it in the garden beds :) I use FBB (fish, bone, blood) when planting out some crops like tomatoes and aubergines in the Polycrub, and organic liquid feeds made from seaweed, comfrey, and nettles for plants growing in containers. Sometimes purchased and sometimes homemade.
Hi there. Be wary of drying your Onions in a green house or cold frame. I know of two people who's onions last year actually got cooked and turned to mush when doing so. I would suggest out side on a raised wire frame or similar to let air circulate and then shield from or take inside when rain expected.
Thanks, Jonathan, and I'll keep an eye out! It's been quite cool and wet here and the day I filmed was the last sunny day we're supposed to have for a bit. I'll move those onions if it starts getting too warm in the greenhouse, though.
The garden is lovely, as always but I was most impressed by the Japanese indigo. Do you have any tips for germinating it from seed, Tanya? I had mine on a heat mat for weeks and had no luck.😅
Mine didn't germinate at first either! I stuck a finger in the potting mix, swirled it up a bit to create more air pockets and drainage, and they germinated thick and fast within a couple of weeks. Don't give up on yours :)
You may be disappointed with those Cara potatoes Tanya the tubers grow quite large but apparently they lack flavour and are useless for boiling as they fall apart and have a watery consistency. All is looking great in your garden as always. Emmas Allotment does a 10 minute video 3 times per week so yes a short 10 minute video once per week would be OK if that's to your liking.
I wouldn't grow it if it was my choice! It's a seed potato given to me for a potato growing competition. Everyone has to grow Cara and the potatoes need to be grown in the same size tub. We roast most of our potatoes so hopefully they cook well that way.
Love the channel. How’s the Ollas been functioning for the greenhouse? Has that been your only water source ? Or any additional top watering? Thanks and you guys take care and be safe
Hi Steven, they've been great! I'm manually watering still, but half as much as last year, and I don't worry about the crops drying out. The one thing that could be better is having a larger water reservoir for the middle bed. The 5 gallon bucket empties relatively quickly.
@@Lovelygreens That’s great I’ve been debating on actually buying some just was scared to go through with it. You we made made decision allot easier. Thanks for the time and effort you put in and teaching. I’m new to your channel but love what your doing. Thank you
Hi Tanya, I've been reading that you need to cure onions in a shaded area with lots of air flow. I see you are using your greenhouse. Wondering if the film you have on your greenhouse shades the plants? Maybe I don't need to put them in the garage? Thank you, Joan from Sequim, WA
Hi Joan, and that's right - it's to protect the onions from getting sunburnt. Our forecast here is pretty rainy for the next week and maybe more, so I'm going to leave them in the greenhouse for now. It's warm and dry in there and hopefully will zap the moisture off them quickly. I'll keep an eye on them, though :)
I love your content and make a point to watch all of your videos BUT I think prioritizing what keeps you sane is more important! I think one or two videos a month is more than reasonable and will hopefully give you time to plan new things and HAVE FUN!
I had no clue that you could plant onion sets in the fall / winter and then have a harvest in the summer. Has anyone tried this in zone 5 in the United States?
I'm not sure about zone 5 but there are only a few types of onion that you can overwinter - Senshyu is one of them. The benefit is that if you start them off early enough in September or October, you can get an early onion crop before your spring sown/planted crop.
Dear Tanya, I am not native English (so excuse my language), but whenever I see your harvest or garden, or sprouts, flowers....I always say: Oh my G-d that is so sexy! hihihi You are a big inspiration to me. Enjoy your outside sofa, grill, veggies, fruits, Maggie...just enjoy the fruits of your hard work! You are a treasure! (Btw. are you a Cancer from the Horoscope?) Much love XX
Thank you so much 🙂💚 Healthy plants and fresh veg are soooo beautiful. They fill me with such awe and hope, and I think you too. And no, I'm a Virgo, so that's a really early birthday gift to myself! Making the most of what summer sun we can get!
Would like to enrol for your soaps making course and can’t wait for your new video 😊

I agree with this, bugger the promise and prioritise your sanity
I personally like shorter, single task videos with maybe a garden walk around every so often. Long videos are hard to fit in the schedule. 😊
Maggie is an agent of chaos. But the absolute cutest!
Agent of Chaos is right 😂

J'adore votre potager 😊
Merci pour ce beau partage
A bientôt
what a lovely video garden looks great i would be happy with a short video
Ditto!🙂
I can't even imagine how much time goes into these videos, so thank you. I Love all your content and look forward to each video.
Thank you, June :) It usually takes me three days to make a video but sometimes longer!
Enjoyed walking through your garden with you☺️
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Love your video's! As for the frequency of them: Do them as you have time for it and as it makes YOU happy.
Enjoying your work and live is the top priority!
Thanks for sharing your time with us. 🥰
Thank you so much for the support and will do :) 💚
I just dug up onions and potatoes here yesterday. Videos to come. Thank you for being such an inspiration! I just made some homemade soap while using your guide yesterday.
That's fantastic - which soap recipe did you use? :)
@@LovelygreensI used your eco-friendly cold process soap recipe but I added in some dried crushed peppermint from my own garden, and Brazilian oils from Rainforestchica as my superfats. I used rose oil from Morocco, Brazilian grey clay and tea tree oil from Australia when I added fragrance at the end. It’s curing now! Thank you so much.
Love your videos Tanya, but don't stress yourself out! If I may suggest for future videos, growing flowers and fruit and vegetables in different containers, e.g. In the vegepod, window boxes, and all types of raised beds. And something for us disabled gardeners who can only garden at waist height. Thank you so much Tanya and Josh too! Not forgetting Maggie, she's gorgeous.
10 minute videos is a great idea. Focused gardening tips. :)
Hello Tanya Lovely Greens. Thank you for the tour of your lovely garden and all thats going on in it . The weather has been awful these last few weeks. I am growing dwarf type Tomatoes in pots some in two minnie glass houses but most just outdoors in pots. Do you think they will be okay with all this rain we have had in Yorkshire ?

Thank you, Andrea 💚 I won't stop making long videos every two weeks (don't worry!), but I might try to squeeze shorter ones in, too :)
I like that food platter 😋 I'll be right over😮
Love seeing the progression of your garden...My gardening climate is similar to yours so I appreciate seeing the plants you choose for your garden, tips and suggestions are always appreciated.
My sweet potato vines are setting roots wherever they touch down. More potatoes for me!! 😋
I watched when you first moved in, what a difference. It looks fabulous! 🌼🐝
I imagine you have added extra P and K to the beautiful potato plant. More tuber formation. No more N of course . Beautiful garden.
Both you and Josh have really turned your garden into your very own slice of heaven,but now you can reap the rewards,Thankyou for sharing it with us Tanya.
Thank you for your kind words 🙂

Be great if you could give a weekly note of things to do in the garden
Along with your indigo, you should look at woad. It also produces a blue natural dye and has medicinal qualities.
I've grown it before and plan to again. Indigo can give a much more vibrant blue, though 😍
Sweet potatoes are meant to grow along the ground, and put down roots to grow sweet potatoes along the whole vine. But they can be trained.
Ah, it must be amazing to be able to grow them outdoors and let them do their thing. In Britain, they don't seem to produce many tubers other than below the main plant. Training up a wall in the greenhouse or polytunnel makes sense for us since it frees up space for other crops.

Compost is pretty much it in the garden beds :) I use FBB (fish, bone, blood) when planting out some crops like tomatoes and aubergines in the Polycrub, and organic liquid feeds made from seaweed, comfrey, and nettles for plants growing in containers. Sometimes purchased and sometimes homemade.
Hi there. Be wary of drying your Onions in a green house or cold frame. I know of two people who's onions last year actually got cooked and turned to mush when doing so. I would suggest out side on a raised wire frame or similar to let air circulate and then shield from or take inside when rain expected.
Thanks, Jonathan, and I'll keep an eye out! It's been quite cool and wet here and the day I filmed was the last sunny day we're supposed to have for a bit. I'll move those onions if it starts getting too warm in the greenhouse, though.
@@Lovelygreens Guessed this maybe the case where you are. So put this out as a note to any of your viewers it may concern 🙂
The garden is lovely, as always but I was most impressed by the Japanese indigo. Do you have any tips for germinating it from seed, Tanya? I had mine on a heat mat for weeks and had no luck.😅
Mine didn't germinate at first either! I stuck a finger in the potting mix, swirled it up a bit to create more air pockets and drainage, and they germinated thick and fast within a couple of weeks. Don't give up on yours :)
Love it
You may be disappointed with those Cara potatoes Tanya the tubers grow quite large but apparently they lack flavour and are useless for boiling as they fall apart and have a watery consistency. All is looking great in your garden as always. Emmas Allotment does a 10 minute video 3 times per week so yes a short 10 minute video once per week would be OK if that's to your liking.
I wouldn't grow it if it was my choice! It's a seed potato given to me for a potato growing competition. Everyone has to grow Cara and the potatoes need to be grown in the same size tub. We roast most of our potatoes so hopefully they cook well that way.
nice😊
Love the channel.
How’s the Ollas been functioning for the greenhouse? Has that been your only water source ? Or any additional top watering? Thanks and you guys take care and be safe
Hi Steven, they've been great! I'm manually watering still, but half as much as last year, and I don't worry about the crops drying out. The one thing that could be better is having a larger water reservoir for the middle bed. The 5 gallon bucket empties relatively quickly.
@@Lovelygreens That’s great I’ve been debating on actually buying some just was scared to go through with it. You we made made decision allot easier. Thanks for the time and effort you put in and teaching. I’m new to your channel but love what your doing. Thank you
Enjoyed your video…..just wondering if you thought about keeping chickens?
I used to have a small flock and I do play with the idea but the idea of having some again. We'll have to see :)
I would love any video every week 😊
Hi Tanya, I've been reading that you need to cure onions in a shaded area with lots of air flow. I see you are using your greenhouse. Wondering if the film you have on your greenhouse shades the plants? Maybe I don't need to put them in the garage? Thank you, Joan from Sequim, WA
Hi Joan, and that's right - it's to protect the onions from getting sunburnt. Our forecast here is pretty rainy for the next week and maybe more, so I'm going to leave them in the greenhouse for now. It's warm and dry in there and hopefully will zap the moisture off them quickly. I'll keep an eye on them, though :)
I love your content and make a point to watch all of your videos BUT I think prioritizing what keeps you sane is more important! I think one or two videos a month is more than reasonable and will hopefully give you time to plan new things and HAVE FUN!
Thank you 💚🙂
I had no clue that you could plant onion sets in the fall / winter and then have a harvest in the summer. Has anyone tried this in zone 5 in the United States?
I'm not sure about zone 5 but there are only a few types of onion that you can overwinter - Senshyu is one of them. The benefit is that if you start them off early enough in September or October, you can get an early onion crop before your spring sown/planted crop.
Thanks for all you do. Can you make videos without editing?
No, that's not the type of content I'd ever make. Pretty much every video you watch is edited unless it's Live.
@@Lovelygreens I was trying to help. Thanks for all you do,
Dear Tanya, I am not native English (so excuse my language), but whenever I see your harvest or garden, or sprouts, flowers....I always say: Oh my G-d that is so sexy! hihihi You are a big inspiration to me. Enjoy your outside sofa, grill, veggies, fruits, Maggie...just enjoy the fruits of your hard work! You are a treasure! (Btw. are you a Cancer from the Horoscope?) Much love XX
Thank you so much 🙂💚 Healthy plants and fresh veg are soooo beautiful. They fill me with such awe and hope, and I think you too. And no, I'm a Virgo, so that's a really early birthday gift to myself! Making the most of what summer sun we can get!

You can do short videos every week if that helps I prefer shorter videos
Shorter videos seem very popular! 🙂
I prefer shorter videos because life is busy.
