Bless Dorie’s little shivery heart in the storm. Massive storm wasn’t it? That polytunnel had its first good test there. You have been very blessed with your birthday gifts. Glad you like the trug and the Japanese Anemones. You are very welcome and very deserving of a birthday gift. The quote made me emotional. The talk about us all sharing plants amongst each other’s gardens also was emotional. It’s another layer to this community we are all building together isn’t it? You did well at the show. Lovely to see you again and thank you for the elephant garlic, tree cabbage and seeds. Was a lovely day out. Be kind to yourself during this busy period. Look forward to seeing you in the next one 😊❤
Aw thank you Clare. I've felt quite emotional this week too - 'it's my birthday and I can cry if I want to' has been running through my head all week!! Partly because of back to work stress, but also in a good way because - as you say - I've been blessed to with lovely gifts and lovely friends. Feeling quite exhausted after this week despite getting very little gardening done! 🤣
Hi Kerry 👋 It was so lovely meeting you yesterday and thank you so much for the tree cabbage plant and seeds ❤ Wasn't it a fab show and meet up. Love your bargains and plants that you bought. How fab to have another greenhouse, you must be so excited planning what you're going to grow in there. Always love a garden centre visit 😊 Have a great week ❤ x
I'm watching this video and listening to the rain on the windows. It is a welcome relief to see your video as always and so glad you managed the meet up at Malvern, it's a show I would love to go to but too many train changes from my home and we would have to book accommodation as not doable in one day without a car. Ive managed two days at the plot this last week, one completely dry one dodging showers, I haven't been able to get there for two half weeks as both me and hubby have had covid. I was dreading seeing what it would be like but thank goodness all was OK and lots of tomatoes had ripened in my absence. I just hope with all this rain that the plot doesn't flood, we're like you prone to flooding. I hope you have a good holiday and lots of sunshine I think we could all do with sunshine right now, oh and belated happy Birthday, you received such lovely thoughtful present.
Hi Liz. Oh so sorry to hear you've had Covid - I hope you're feeling better now. Glad the plot got on with things even in your absence - I hope mine is doing the same! I might try and pop in between showers when I walk the dog later and see if there are any tomatoes. The courgettes seem to have given up now and I've harvested all the normal sweetcorn. Plenty of greens though and the beetroot should be fattening up with all this rain (she says, they could be just drowned!!). Thank you for your lovely comments Liz.
Another greenhouse 🙌🙌 How lovely of Clare and Annie for those beautiful gifts 🎁 😍 ❤️plus your fam of course ❤ You're well spoilt 😀 🎉 Malvern looked like great fun, there was a lot of you together 💚 ....I'm sure you're looking forward to escape the rain 🌧
I am spoilt!!! So many of us at Malvern - I wish you could have been there. Was great fun. The rain is relentless here! Another soggy day today. Dawn to dusk working day tomorrow though so it can rain as much as it likes 🤣 Looking forward to some holiday warmth 💜
Wow! Since I live in Southern California, I am jealous of the rain. It has been months since we had an rain. Fortunatly last fall and winter we had a good amount of rain. I’m hoping for the same again this year, since it is terrible when we go through a drought. 🌧️ I am always looking for scented pelargoniums too! I have several rose scented ones and a nutmeg one.
Great to see you and Dorie Kerry Belated Happy Birthday🎉. Thanks for the tip about the Alstromerias I'll lift mine for the Winter. Everywhere looks great despite the rain. Congrats on the new greenhouse 🎉
Aw thank you Therese. Alstromerias might be ok over winter in nice free draining soil - and one did survive last winter, but then it was repeatedly slugged so never really got going - I think it'll do better in a pot!
Wow another greenhouse ❤ hopefully the rain will clear soon and you can move the rest. For a minute I thought you were getting 😢sentimental about meeting everyone 😂😂😂 sleepy eyes I think. I’ve not stopped yawning on the journey home, could have done with a three day weekend. Will get my kefir in the fridge as soon as I get home. Left in the car overnight where it is cooler. So excited to get a batch going 🤗 Must work on yesterdays 😂😂😂 release 😂 need a nap first, oh then school meeting and work. Looks like tomorrow it will be. Lovely video, no pressure we are all in the same boat and completely understand. Big hugs Allie & Tricia xx
You know - I did get a bit emotional (not on camera) at the thought of meeting you guys. You were the right youtubers who reached out and became friends, and I can't tell you how appreciative I am for that. It was so lovely to finally meet you in person 💕 Take it easy today - nap sounds good!
@@dogontheplot aaah Kerry that is really touching. You and your family are beautiful people!!! And we feel blessed to have connected and finally have met you and yours in person. Huge hugs and back to the drudgery of work 🤣🌧️ I really don’t know where to start with my editing 🤣🤣🥰
Hi Kerry So exciting about the new greenhouse! So much potential for more indoor growing space next season! Can’t wait to see what you do with it….tomatoes? 😅 We did exactly the same as you on that rainy Sunday! Garden centre mornings are so cosy at this time of year you found some great bargains 😊🍂 Glad you got some amazing bday prezzies! That trug from Clare is sooo beautiful! You lucky thing! 🥰 It was a joy to meet you at Malvern and I LOVE that hat! I am going to have to keep my eye out for one next time. Very exciting to have a holiday to look forward to as well after all this rain! ☀️ You are very welcome for the cornflower seeds! I hope they do well for you 🥰 Will look forward to watching the next vlog, whenever you have time to share. I know how you feel, am a teacher working evenings, examiner travelling around the country throughout the year and I home educate my two little boys, so finding time to keep on top of the garden, see friends and family and make TH-cam videos sometimes seems a bit much! But because we enjoy it, we always seem to find a way, even if we post a bit less. Take care and look forward to catching up soon!
Aw thank you for your message Sarah. Yes, that sounds like a lot to juggle! But you're right - we do seem to find a way! When I clear some space in the home garden I'd like to make a space for the cornflowers as well as some nigella - make a little cutting flower patch. Thank you 💕
Malvern looked like fun :) The rain is getting tiresome, it feels like it waits for my days off, so I've been practising recipes with my glut of green tomatoes
Oh good idea! I'm gearing up for the green tomato chutney... if I can get them in before the blight takes them all 🙈 Malvern was fun! I do enjoy a gardening show, and lovely to meet up with people.
Super video👍🏻 Love your new baby plant choices! Look forward to your holiday and just light Potter to spring. The rain looks like it is here to stay for awhile yet and it isn't half as much fun outdoors😢
It really isn't as fun in the rain! And yet the to do list continues to get longer... but yes, should get ready to embrace the quieter months. Thank you for watching 💕
Just a thought, you could turn the new greenhouse into a small fruit cage, replacing the glass with netting. It would protect blueberries etc from birds. The glass taken from the new greenhouse could be used to full in the missing glass in your home greenhouse and also on the one you used this season for your tomatoes. You should be able to buy a DIY simple cutting tool should any panels need re sizing. It could solve having to source glass for 3 greenhouses plus give you a lovely small netting cage high enough to walk into to harvest and tend some of your much loved fruit. Just an idea. Regards Rosanna
Ohh we're on the same page Rosanna! Totally an option that I'm toying with. I do need to see about glass fitting etc. Also, I need to think through the fact that I might have to pass the new greenhouse on again at some point and then I'd need to put the glass back... but yeh, it did come up as an option!
Belated birthday wishes. Really enjoyed this episode Kerry, despite the washout! Always love seeing your haul at the shows and garden centre😂 Congrats on the greenhouse, game changer for next year👍. Look forward to seeing what the alstroemeria is next season. Bon voyage for Turkey🙂
Thank you Kaz. Lots to start looking forward to for next year! But first - yes, nice holiday sun and then a cosy winter. It'll all still be here waiting in the Spring!
Hiya! Great video again and I went to Malvern for the first time on the Saturday. We were lucky with the weather and what a show it was! I’ll definitely go back next year
This was my third time now, and I think we'll be going back next year for both the Spring and Autumn shows. It's a nice day out, reasonable priced, and not too far for us to travel. Win!
Happy belated birthday Kerry! Looks like you had a lot of fun and brought back some goodies. Well done on getting a new greenhouse. I just subbed to Sarah and Jenny's channel to check out. Have a great week and all the best. x
Morning Kerry, OMGoodness the rain!!!! Will it ever stop? One has to ask is there a limit to how many greehouses a girl can have?? 😂 It was so lovely to finally meet you at the weekend...what a great day out and such fun too meeting everyone. Hopefully, we can all do it again in the spring! Thank you for the mention....I'm so pleased you liked the bandana! Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
It has stopped!!! For now... 🌞 Never too many greenhouses I think Annie... Haha. None as lovely as your greenhouse though! Lovely to meet you too - it was a great day. Yes, will definitely be there in the Spring. Love the bandana - thank you so much. You take care too 💕🤗
Hi Kerry, lovely to see you enjoying Malvern. Are you planning on having 2 greenhouses at the allotment? How exciting. Look forward to seeing how you integrate them into the plot.
It was so much fun! Erm, I don't know what I'm planning to be honest Julie. I'm on Danny's live in a couple of weeks and I think the topic is planning for next year and I've not got a clue!! Everything feels very up in the air... But then again, I'm a go with the flow kinda person so we'll just see and what will be will be!!
Lots of rain this week it's wild in Whitby today 🙄 but great for digging and planting out stuff I've put about 20 plants into the ground in my back garden borders over the last week 🌿🪻 noticed quite a few butterflies flitting about too 🦋🦋🦋 I pulled a carrot up to see how they were coming along and my grandson Noah scoffed it straight away after a quick rinse under the tap 🥕 it was only about 3" long but he loved it 😋 autumn has definitely arrived my gardens are full of fallen leaves now 🍂🍁 I think I'll scoop them up and throw them into the borders 🌿 love the new trug ❤️
Aw you sound like you're doing Autumn well Helena - this is how I need to do Autumn!! I've got so much stuff that needs planting out and I know it's the perfect time - I just need a dry spell and a breather from work to crack on!
The greenhouse upgrade is going to be great for next year's growing, very exciting! Was so lovely to see you again at the show, thank you for my goodies. Funny, i also came away with a couple of the Japanese anemones too. 😅
Ooh, a second greenhouse - how exciting! Mark is such an enabler for under-cover growing structures 😂😂 It’s awesome to see all of you meeting up, it feels like you are part of a gardening gang. Where the though life is all about swapping supplies and finding bargains to further your gardening habits 😅 I’ve been under the weather for a couple of days, and suddenly it’s proper autumn. Thankfully I’m off today, and can do some catching up. I’m collecting the remaining tomatoes today, as well as clearing out of the greenhouse. Hopefully I also get to painting our shed, as temps are dropping into «too cold to paint» temps in a few days. And I’m pretty sure our neighbors would prefer not to se a half-painted shed all winter 🫣
He really is an undercover enabler 🤣 - he's putting up a second poly on his plot soon! Once you meet one another in person it does feel a lot more like a real group of friends. Hope you're feeling better now - yep, Autumn crept up although in some ways it feels like it's been here all along! I've got 'greenhouse clear and clean' on the to do list - but in reality prob won't happen until November! Don't overdo it when you've been poorly - worse things than a half painted shed (I mean, look at my shed!! 🤣🤣🤣)
Oh, poor Dorie! Time to get raincoat for pup. And Happy Birthday! Lovely gifts especially book from dad as it will be a cherished treasure. Wish I could go to Malvern. Here in the States hurricane has caused WAY too much flooding/destruction for many. Awful! I’m thankful we were not in the path although we are in drought, but no one needs that much rain especially near mountains. Nice greenhouse = more work😂. I’m hoping we get to redo ours this year with heat sink. We are heading into fall, but it’s been so warm later this year that plants are still going. Usual frost in Wisconsin is 9/25 so maybe soon. 😵💫😬😬OMG! The size of those slugs/snails-I would freak! The size of those onions (Ailsa Craigs?) also impressive!
I know. Poor shivery dog!! Still, the hot pink doggie onesie will be coming out soon 😄 Thank you for your bday wishes. Weather... sigh. Hurricanes put our rain into perspective, but climate change is making it difficult everywhere. Those onions at Malvern were incredible! Not sure of the variety but you could live off one for a month!! 🤣
@@dogontheplotlol, I am just finishing vid and starting to recognize all you UK and other people. And check out those moves Danny and I think Linda are cutting up the sod with😂. And Tony’s big grin! Looked like so much fun despite the rain.
Oooo I wish my allotments would just offer me a greenhouse, I'm desperate for one.What a lovely thing having site greenhouses. I need to know where your books and plants cardigan is from it is fabulous.
Hi Clare. I guess they've just been left over the years and accumulated on site, so now they get shifted about as needed. The cardigan is from Joanie 😊
I was there on the Sunday too, but i couldn't find where everyone was meeting up, so i missed you all! Last year at the Malvern Spring festival i also missed the meet up! It would be much more fun meeting up with like minded people than walking around with my husband ( he's lovely but has no interest in gardening!)...People may not know just how bad the phone signal is there! But i did buy some nice plants ❤
@@TheRightPearPlot even trying to make a phone call to my husband, it would either cut out after a few seconds or not even connect! We ended up texting each other and eventually found each other....all because I sent him off to put plants in the plant crèche!
@bristolveggiebeds5310 walkie talkies is a good idea!!! I think if you can get on the showgrounds wifi when you do have some signal you're ok - but I'd forgotten this! Shame you missed us Helen - next time!! (Also realised I'm not subbed - doh - rectified!!!)
@@dogontheplot I was on the show ground WiFi, still doesn't help when you're trying to find someone! I think they need to fly a TH-cam flag next time, or have someone in a rainbow wig!
Happy belated Birthday, you got great gifts, and Dorie too! Nice to see you guys enjoying each others company at Malvern. So, could you now regift the first greenhouse? Take care! 🤗
Thank you Trude. It was a lovely day out. I'd like to keep the small one (for sentimental reasons) but am cautious of being greedy! No rush for decisions as we head into winter so will see what pans out...
Oh, I was just thinking it would stop the nagging from viewers about it getting glazed. I thought you (and Maiju) were teased a lot on last year's Grapevine lives. He might have grown up since. 😉
Lovely video Kerry and happy birthday! The weather has been pants hasn't it! I've barely got anything done either, although managed to clear a bed yesterday, so it's a start! I love the Claret Astrantia, mine has been limping along as it was in the wrong spot, but I moved it this year and seems to be picking up a bit, fingers crossed! I've a, 'Where did you get that hat..🎵' ear worm now! 😂
Haha. Now, tell me where I shouldn't put this astrantia!! I put one in a very dry spot and that died, so I've been going with the moister areas but I don't have much with full sun...
@@dogontheplot I found mine struggled a bit in full sun, just kept wilting, though I was rubbish at keeping it watered to be fair, so it would have probably been better once it had established! My garden is pretty much a south facing slope, so it bakes in the summer (clay chalk soil which cracks - it's crap!), so perhaps in other places/aspects, full sun would be fine- I've seen it growing beautifully in full sun on sandy soil, so frankly it's anyones guess! Dappled shade is good , but not too much shade, I don't think they are a fan of being sodden either. Clear as mud then! 🤣
Happy belated birthday 🎉. Poor Dorie she looked so cold 🥶are you allowed small fireplaces on the allotment? I am going to see next season about getting some scented geraniums now 🤦♀️ enabler 😂😂. Have a fab week hope it’s a bit dryer, Ali ☔️🥶🌞🇨🇦
Haha - enabling right across the pond!! It's looking like we've got 3 dry days before the rain moves in again so I should try and make the most of them! You have a great week too 🤗
Hi Kerry, thanks for the mention, it was good to see you and everybody else. The second greenhouse was a nice bonus. Do you have any large astrantia I'm moving some either later this year or early spring so can propagate some for you if you want. Thanks again
ohhhhhhhhhh where are you going on vacay? somewhere hot I hope to escape dull n soggy britland and I cant wait to see dorie in her banada is super cute
I dooo love a show and tell! 😃 What fun gifts, swaps and bargains! Your sun hat was meant to be. Hope the weather is good on your hols. The group shots at Malvern portrayed a very merry meet-up. Was Danny wearing heels? He’s a lot taller than arm’s length camera height 😁
Happy birthday Kerry, hope that you had a lovely day. No need to apologise for fewer vids, it'll be pitch black before and after work soon anyway, not sure that getting a headtorch for the lottie will work, you'd probably end up being arrested :). Last year, you took part in a local veg show, did it not run this year?
Thank you Steve!! Haha yeah head torch prob not great for filming. No if didn't take place due to organiser illness - such a shame but hopefully it'll be back next year. Tbh I wouldn't have had a lot to show!!! 🙈
Bless Dorie’s little shivery heart in the storm. Massive storm wasn’t it? That polytunnel had its first good test there.
You have been very blessed with your birthday gifts. Glad you like the trug and the Japanese Anemones. You are very welcome and very deserving of a birthday gift.
The quote made me emotional. The talk about us all sharing plants amongst each other’s gardens also was emotional. It’s another layer to this community we are all building together isn’t it?
You did well at the show. Lovely to see you again and thank you for the elephant garlic, tree cabbage and seeds. Was a lovely day out.
Be kind to yourself during this busy period. Look forward to seeing you in the next one 😊❤
Aw thank you Clare. I've felt quite emotional this week too - 'it's my birthday and I can cry if I want to' has been running through my head all week!! Partly because of back to work stress, but also in a good way because - as you say - I've been blessed to with lovely gifts and lovely friends. Feeling quite exhausted after this week despite getting very little gardening done! 🤣
Love your enthusiasm over the seeds germination. I can relate.
Haha all excited and then put off pricking out and they never get in the ground 🙈🙈🙈 NO, I WILL DO BETTER!!! 🤣🤣
Hi Kerry 👋
It was so lovely meeting you yesterday and thank you so much for the tree cabbage plant and seeds ❤ Wasn't it a fab show and meet up. Love your bargains and plants that you bought.
How fab to have another greenhouse, you must be so excited planning what you're going to grow in there.
Always love a garden centre visit 😊
Have a great week ❤ x
And you Linda - it was so nice! You're welcome - I hope they grow well for you. Be warned - the tree spinach will self seed!!!
@dogontheplot no problem Kerry, and then I'll have plants to give away, too! 😂❤️ xx

Ooh, a second greenhouse - how exciting! Mark is such an enabler for under-cover growing structures 😂😂 It’s awesome to see all of you meeting up, it feels like you are part of a gardening gang. Where the though life is all about swapping supplies and finding bargains to further your gardening habits 😅
I’ve been under the weather for a couple of days, and suddenly it’s proper autumn. Thankfully I’m off today, and can do some catching up. I’m collecting the remaining tomatoes today, as well as clearing out of the greenhouse. Hopefully I also get to painting our shed, as temps are dropping into «too cold to paint» temps in a few days. And I’m pretty sure our neighbors would prefer not to se a half-painted shed all winter 🫣
He really is an undercover enabler 🤣 - he's putting up a second poly on his plot soon! Once you meet one another in person it does feel a lot more like a real group of friends. Hope you're feeling better now - yep, Autumn crept up although in some ways it feels like it's been here all along! I've got 'greenhouse clear and clean' on the to do list - but in reality prob won't happen until November! Don't overdo it when you've been poorly - worse things than a half painted shed (I mean, look at my shed!! 🤣🤣🤣)
Oh, poor Dorie! Time to get raincoat for pup. And Happy Birthday! Lovely gifts especially book from dad as it will be a cherished treasure. Wish I could go to Malvern.
Here in the States hurricane has caused WAY too much flooding/destruction for many. Awful! I’m thankful we were not in the path although we are in drought, but no one needs that much rain especially near mountains.
Nice greenhouse = more work😂. I’m hoping we get to redo ours this year with heat sink.
We are heading into fall, but it’s been so warm later this year that plants are still going. Usual frost in Wisconsin is 9/25 so maybe soon.
😵💫😬😬OMG! The size of those slugs/snails-I would freak!
The size of those onions (Ailsa Craigs?) also impressive!
I know. Poor shivery dog!! Still, the hot pink doggie onesie will be coming out soon 😄 Thank you for your bday wishes. Weather... sigh. Hurricanes put our rain into perspective, but climate change is making it difficult everywhere. Those onions at Malvern were incredible! Not sure of the variety but you could live off one for a month!! 🤣
@@dogontheplotlol, I am just finishing vid and starting to recognize all you UK and other people. And check out those moves Danny and I think Linda are cutting up the sod with😂. And Tony’s big grin! Looked like so much fun despite the rain.
Dorie ❤❤❤
🐕☔
Happy belated birthday. Mine was 17th and my second son was on 26th and grandaughter 19 th so lots of September bdays
Popular month, September 🤣 Thank you Mandy and happy belated birthday to you and yours 🤗🥳
Wow look at the rain
I try not to be a fair weather gardener, but even I say no to that level of rain!
@@dogontheplot lol I'm starting to be coz of Andy I don't mind being rained on but I mind him being
Oooo I wish my allotments would just offer me a greenhouse, I'm desperate for one.What a lovely thing having site greenhouses.
I need to know where your books and plants cardigan is from it is fabulous.
Hi Clare. I guess they've just been left over the years and accumulated on site, so now they get shifted about as needed. The cardigan is from Joanie 😊
Hey Kerry, glad you all enjoyed Malvern. I was there in spirit 😂
Fab update. Love your top at the beginning 💚💚💚
Greenhouse goals 🙌🏽🤣
You were definitely there in spirit ❤️
I was there on the Sunday too, but i couldn't find where everyone was meeting up, so i missed you all! Last year at the Malvern Spring festival i also missed the meet up! It would be much more fun meeting up with like minded people than walking around with my husband ( he's lovely but has no interest in gardening!)...People may not know just how bad the phone signal is there! But i did buy some nice plants ❤
Vodaphone was rubbish signal.
We had a job finding everyone too Helen. Very top left corner of the park as you come in.
Allie x
@@TheRightPearPlot even trying to make a phone call to my husband, it would either cut out after a few seconds or not even connect! We ended up texting each other and eventually found each other....all because I sent him off to put plants in the plant crèche!
@@bristolveggiebeds5310 🤣🤣 walkie talkies or air tags next year!!
@bristolveggiebeds5310 walkie talkies is a good idea!!! I think if you can get on the showgrounds wifi when you do have some signal you're ok - but I'd forgotten this! Shame you missed us Helen - next time!! (Also realised I'm not subbed - doh - rectified!!!)
@@dogontheplot I was on the show ground WiFi, still doesn't help when you're trying to find someone! I think they need to fly a TH-cam flag next time, or have someone in a rainbow wig!
Yh mum bought some too!
On trend!
@@dogontheplot she is I think she got ever green ones?
Happy belated Birthday, you got great gifts, and Dorie too! Nice to see you guys enjoying each others company at Malvern. So, could you now regift the first greenhouse? Take care! 🤗
Thank you Trude. It was a lovely day out. I'd like to keep the small one (for sentimental reasons) but am cautious of being greedy! No rush for decisions as we head into winter so will see what pans out...
Oh, I was just thinking it would stop the nagging from viewers about it getting glazed. I thought you (and Maiju) were teased a lot on last year's Grapevine lives. He might have grown up since.
😉
@@trold1969 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely vlog Kez - your greenhouse is looking very abundant - had a great time at Malvern - but oh couldn’t we have bought even more plants!!!!
Oh we could!! But then we had already been to the garden centre last week... 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely video Kerry and happy birthday! The weather has been pants hasn't it! I've barely got anything done either, although managed to clear a bed yesterday, so it's a start! I love the Claret Astrantia, mine has been limping along as it was in the wrong spot, but I moved it this year and seems to be picking up a bit, fingers crossed! I've a, 'Where did you get that hat..🎵' ear worm now! 😂
Haha. Now, tell me where I shouldn't put this astrantia!! I put one in a very dry spot and that died, so I've been going with the moister areas but I don't have much with full sun...
@@dogontheplot I found mine struggled a bit in full sun, just kept wilting, though I was rubbish at keeping it watered to be fair, so it would have probably been better once it had established! My garden is pretty much a south facing slope, so it bakes in the summer (clay chalk soil which cracks - it's crap!), so perhaps in other places/aspects, full sun would be fine- I've seen it growing beautifully in full sun on sandy soil, so frankly it's anyones guess! Dappled shade is good , but not too much shade, I don't think they are a fan of being sodden either. Clear as mud then! 🤣
@@kitchengardengrows I love this advice!!! Everything and nothing - that's plants for you!!! Divas 🤣
@@dogontheplot Straight from the school of chaos gardening! 😉
Happy belated birthday 🎉. Poor Dorie she looked so cold 🥶are you allowed small fireplaces on the allotment? I am going to see next season about getting some scented geraniums now 🤦♀️ enabler 😂😂. Have a fab week hope it’s a bit dryer, Ali ☔️🥶🌞🇨🇦
Haha - enabling right across the pond!! It's looking like we've got 3 dry days before the rain moves in again so I should try and make the most of them! You have a great week too 🤗
Hi Kerry, thanks for the mention, it was good to see you and everybody else. The second greenhouse was a nice bonus. Do you have any large astrantia I'm moving some either later this year or early spring so can propagate some for you if you want. Thanks again
Hi Ady - it was lovely to meet you! I didn't even know they came in different sizes - so, I guess I don't! I would love that - thank you so much 💕💕
I live your jumpers
Haha - they're my signature!
@@dogontheplot where do you get them from
I need to can the last of my tomatoe...
My outdoor ones are blighted so no more tomato sauce for me this year
@@dogontheplot normal for this time of year
Hi Jerry did you know it’s good for you if you hang eucalyptus from the shower hose and the steam helps
I do and I did that with the last prunings. I've only just taken them down ❤️
ohhhhhhhhhh where are you going on vacay? somewhere hot I hope to escape dull n soggy britland and I cant wait to see dorie in her banada is super cute
To Turkey - hoping for some warmth!
@@dogontheplot ohhhhhhhh nice i guess its hotter than here right now lol have a nice vacay 😎🍸🍹🏖
Yes I have your perennial cabbage but it's not in yet
That Allie brought down? That was the perennial kale.
@@dogontheplot yes!
Hello! Yes I'm making salve, vaper rub 😅
Vicks!
@@dogontheplot that's the stuff but without the chemicals 😉
I dooo love a show and tell! 😃 What fun gifts, swaps and bargains! Your sun hat was meant to be. Hope the weather is good on your hols.
The group shots at Malvern portrayed a very merry meet-up. Was Danny wearing heels? He’s a lot taller than arm’s length camera height 😁
He loves that he's the tallest! 🤣🤣
Thank you Amanda - I need some warmth! I wish I could take all my tomatoes with me to ripen 🤣
@@dogontheplot Lol! I’m going to ask him for a link to his bespoke extra-long telescopic tripod! 😀
@amandar7719 haha! I'm actually tall!!! People get so shocked by this 😂😂
Happy birthday Kerry, hope that you had a lovely day. No need to apologise for fewer vids, it'll be pitch black before and after work soon anyway, not sure that getting a headtorch for the lottie will work, you'd probably end up being arrested :). Last year, you took part in a local veg show, did it not run this year?
Thank you Steve!! Haha yeah head torch prob not great for filming. No if didn't take place due to organiser illness - such a shame but hopefully it'll be back next year. Tbh I wouldn't have had a lot to show!!! 🙈
Kerry, you do you, and we will be here. ❤
❤️❤️❤️ thank you 🌷
Oh no not Dori. If not was my dog I'd be like oh well your fine, at 60kg I'd sit on his lap
Haha - little Dorie needs protecting!
@@dogontheplot bet you hate me commenting
Don't tomatoes look good
Last few now...
@@dogontheplot I feel like you're attaching me with comments.... You have no idea what this feels like
