Watching all the playlist as I've just been offered my first allotment and it's bad.

The two shower screens could've been an attempt at a DIY cloche.

Well done Seren. Its great to see how far and how much you've accomplished since you started. Seeing you lay your canes out I thought I'd share what I did. One cane I used a marker and marked a ring every inch so instead of a tape measure just lay the cane down.

Did anyone else see a squirrel in the background at the start of the video?

Yes, when i were a lad back in the 1970s, Cos (named after the Greek island) was the most popular variety of lettuce, but it is fairly rare nowadays as it is mainly called Romaine instead. 🙃

Sorry, numbers are my thing. Episode 10 is missing from the Playlist with all the Allotment Vlogs on. (I've checked that it actually exists, the mass sowing episode.)

Just subscribed to your channel I'm a garden enthusiast for years now

Love your dahlias on the plot there I'm gonna grow loads of them next year , between my vegetables

Would love to see what you make with all these yummy veggies 🥰🧡

It seems very difficult to grow bell peppers in Britain, so maybe overwintering is the hack required, so that they have a head start. Haven't done it myself, as i don't have anywhere to overwinter them, somewhere both warm and light.

You’ve spurred me on to plant some more, I planted some early on but only a small amount, I’m going to plant the other 2 bulbs I bought, forgot about and found today! 😊

Catching up on your recent videos Seren and wow you put a shift in here!! Can’t believe how much those nasturtiums loved it there 🧡

Exciting! I’m also growing garlic from TGF this year. It’s such a moment getting the garlic in 🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄🧄

Just subscribed, i thought I'd done it ages ago but perhaps not. Good luck with the garlic, mine was a rubbish harvest this year so i bought all new to start again. 🧄

Its all looking great, you've done so much this year. The plot is unrecognisable from the start of the year. The new obelisks and arch, plus the greenhouse staging is brilliant, so pleased you were able to get them. Enjoy planning what you intend to grow on them. I can't wait to see what you do next on the plot. Thank you for sharing🐿

such a good work you have done this year 👩🏻‍🌾remember to celebrate that and look back 😊i found that mulching garlic over winter helps a lot from weather rain and birds with weather you got 👍

Hey seren Plot looks great your hardwork is paying off and pond look great but buy small fish to eat any mosquitos and prevent there eggs hatching into larva

Hey seren don't say you won't grow carrots and parsnip because you will eventually and even if soil is stoney theres no real proof it will fork or grow crooked and as a part of the gardener community you will see the unspoken rule of your first ever carrots and parsnips of the allotment growing crooked think of things in a none serious way and live a little. The plot is there for trial and error and knowing you grew your very own vegetables. The pride one feels at there first ever allotment veg growing journey is epic and if things grow crooked just be proud of your success also crooked veg makes a good topic for a humourous conversation. i am on many vegetable growing groupsand so many gardenimg members have had a blast laughing at there dodgy looking veg especially when they end up with human type anatomies it makes ror a great giggle and brings the community together like a family.

Hi seren plot looking great and better word of advice when you grow pumpkin up that archway grow smaller varieties and rotate your pumpkin archway location as pumpkins dont grow well in the same bed twice

I have a couple of resident blackbirds that clearly done follow the ‘no dig’ theory! They make such a mess everywhere!!

A scrap metal pile? We don't have anything like that! No manure, wood chip drops either on our plot.

❤❤

5:52 Big up to the Wilkinson's tray!!! No other tray comes close. RIP Wilkos. 😂

Lovely Lucky day! 😊😻

I’m so excited to see my garlics in your video. I forgot just how big that Elephant garlic was 😂 wishing you a bountiful garlic harvest next year 🫶🏻🧄 I’m going to have to go change my label of “mystery IOW garlic” to Caulk White now lol.

❤❤❤

Hi there i am new to your channel and i love how quick you made progress at your new allotment plot and i have a you tube channel i can recommend you to watch the creator is called emma bailey her channel is called Emmas allotment diaries her vlogs are very entertaining and helpful she has had a allotment plot for 5 years and and about a year ago she got a second allotment plot shes doing a mini series for new allotment plot holders. Emma also has videos of how she transformed her new allotment plot into a growable space and hers were very over grown you should watch her and kinda of learn the dos and the don'ts of allotmenting and stinging nettle can be made in to a tea for your plants emma has a vlog on that too hope it helps

wait, sunny, nice, in England this time of year LOL oops sorry, luv your videos.

ohhh free germination stations lol plus obelisks wow cant wait to see them all full of flowers n things next summer,, hope you bought a lotto ticket it might be your lucky night lol

Those racks could be covered with polythene and made into propogation houses or the one look like it could be laid on its back covered with fine mesh and used as a cloche to protect young plants planetd out from wildlife.

Do you blink back at the cat when he slow blinks at you? Slow blinking is a cat's way of looking for reassurance that you don't want to fight. If you slow blink and hold out your hand a good distance so that they can smell you without worrying you're going to snatch out at them, then you'll be able to build a relationship with the cat over time until they know they can trust you.

Awesome finds❤ love the time with you at the plot

When I planted out my garlic, I used long grass cuttings, dried as a kind of mulch which worked to keep the squirrels and rats out because I put it on fairly thickly. It insulated the soil, and I noticed far fewer weeds could take root. All the cuttings were just clipped from around tree bases that had overgrown. I pulled the roots out and dried those completely before adding to the compost bin. Looks like you really got some nice goodies for your plot too. 👍🇨🇦

52 bulbs of garlic is one a week.

Seren! ❤ From 🇿🇦

I can only imagine how amazing a garlic farm would smell!

I know you are already planning for next spring! Garlic is planted and the obelisks and arch are waiting to be assembled. Where will they be placed? We will stay tuned!

Such a lucky day! 🍀

on your greenhouse staging frames - i would cut wooden slats to act as shelves that your trays can sit on

Junk pile treasures! And bonus abandoned allotment treasures too! It really was a good day 🥰

some gardener I watch says that the recommended plant distance on the back of the packs are meant for the big farm industry, and us who plant at home or on allotments can with good conscience plant things closer than advised.

Perfect tee shirt for your planting today, Seren! So funny! Wow, that elephant garlic is enormous- it’s well named. Cheers! ❤️🇨🇦

Turn the big shelf upside down and your trays should fit flush.

Seren, it's such a joy to see the twinkle in your eye when you talk about the things that you enjoy eating. May I encourage you to aspire to only growing what you like. Can you imagine what an exciting place your allotment will be for you? Let the allotment work for you rather than you working for it. You have done an amazing job so crack on❤❤❤❤

SCORE!!!!!!!! That is awesome!!!!

free stuff thats a good day

The important question, the gardening dilemma of all time, growing, planting, harvesting, planning, is : How do you keep your trainers clean?😂❤😂❤😊

Anyone watching this young lady for the first time, can i suggest you go back through all her content from the start and see for yourself exactly what she has achieved through hard work on her own this year! shes very down to earth (no pun intended) and watchable, quite remarkable, turning a literal dump into a functional plot!.......great work Seren, looking forward to your ideas for next season.....'Take another bow young lady' 🙂

I get really happy when you have a new upload, I just cooked the last of my tomatoes from this year. please keep going

How did you get such beautiful cloves? I don't know what I did wrong this year but none of my bulbs turned to cloves. I have left them in to see if they do next year.
