Hi Jane, you will be glad of the shelving when the sowing season comes round. Have you thought about dropping the path height in the greenhouse?

The storks of daffodills and other ones are coming up in our small back garden

there you are you made a start well done jane

I think we all have this shelving - truly useful. However, wouldn’t the shelves be better on the other side of the greenhouse because when the vine starts to grow and produce grapes the shelving will be in the way. Just a thought.

bless you 5:24

bless you 9:26

Hi Jane, for some reason today I wasn't subscribed to your channel, and I know I was. Don't know if this happens a lot. Lots of hard work in your video, and I love your chickens. Mine are at home. The cockerals know Spring is in the air as they are getting sassy lol! I'll be getting a cold frame this weekend, so I'll also be building... Or trying 😂 x

Getting the job done top marks Jane. I love organising the potting shed and green houses at this time of the growing year. My ideas and plans are full of promise, I hope we have better weather this year. Thanks for sharing, bfn. 🐞🌻🌱

My rosemary bush flowers very early in spring and the bees love it. Very useful herb too, so great for wildlife and us..

I grow both

How much better did that greenhouse look for a clear out? Well done. Getting started is half the battle, especially when it seems a bit task. The shelving looks super handy to have. Will be just the job to help you sort out the other greenhouse. Well done. ❤

I always use this time of year to give my pots, etc a good sort out. Then I know if anything needs to be replaced. Usually throw away the ones I don't like, as well. Once the pots are sorted, things can get going.

What a difference it made cutting back that grapevine and sweeping up the leaves. The shelving is so useful isn't it. You were quick putting it together, fair play 👍 Have a great week Jane ❤ xx

At least the greenhouse is now sorted Jane well done

Hi Jane, don't deadhead your primroses. They will selfseed effectively if left to it. And spead well.😊

Jane, how about the oak-leaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia)for the natural area? Beautiful white flowers and red tinged leaves as the season progresses, it’s not a mop head type but very informal. Also any of the hydrangea paniculata like Vanilla Fraise or Little Limelight?

Well done 👍 I'm ready to start as well but it's too stormy to go to the allotment 🌬💨 so I startet to plant something on the balcony 🌱🌝

I’m new to the channel. Great video. I will look back and consume some of the older ones. I will let you know as I watch them :)

Well done ! That's a great start Jane 🙂Ive been using those shelves for the last seven years 😊

Hi Jane, its great to see you getting ready for the season. I have shelving in my polytunnel and storage space in my shed, too. My shelving in the polytunnel are for putting my seedlings and trays on. I take them off when my beds are planted up with my tomatoes, peppers & trying melon this year, too. I also grow lettuce & spring onions onions in one of my polytunnel beds all year. Great video. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Only started onions from seed so far. I've got some small brassica plants overwintering in the greenhouse. Holding back on tomatoes and aubergine until March as I'm away towards the end of April and I usually take my small plants with me 😂. Good job, it's self catering.😂

Hi Jane well done on getting the shelf unit up 😜 I saw a good tip about the shelves to turn them upside down and tie wrap them your seed trays fit on better and don’t slip off I am going to do mine in my greenhouse at home has I have the plastic one

I need to get some hellebore for the Fig and olive plot. Keep saying i will for 2 years now haha! Those shelves are so handy arent they. Nice tidy up in the greenhouse jane. Happy growing. Danny 🌱

Well done for getting started, definitely half the battle! I am not at all ready! My new seeds are sat in a pile on the table and I've a million jobs to do and usually enjoy the winter tasks, but I decided to have some quiet time over the winter this year and begin in earnest in February. 🙂

I use those shelving units all the time Jane. They do a good jon. In fact I have a slightly bigger version in the house now with my grow lights on. Not the more picturesque indoor furniture but very functional for seed sowing season. 😁

I have the same racking, Jane. Good stuff and easily adaptable to fit any space.

Hi Jane 👋 the side of your greenhouse with the 'stuff' looks like my greenhouse on a good day 😅 the new shelving unit looks fab Jane that is a good start to the season 😊

Primroses but also Camilla (white ones in December then pink in early Feb) Heather is in flower but only white so far. New growing as seeds arrived from Sarah Raven - samphire! Re try to grow cape gooseberries and chilli’s are new for me too

Happy New Year Jane. Glad to see your plans for your plot. Mike having a separate plot is a great idea. Can’t wait for spring now. Take care. Nick

I'm a single mum of 3 homeschooled kids and manage 7 acres on my own lol. At least an acre of it is trees, giant vegie and chook runs, gardens etc that I have build myself from what was an extreme hoarder's rubbish tip that took 4 years to clean up. It was full of deadly tiger snakes, rats and mice too (Australia).

Through the winter we have primroses and hellebores plus some winters the daffodils are early and survive through the chilly frosty days too.

Nice video!

As long as Mike won't be required to cut the grass or fix things, or feed the chickens I can use him to work on my boat. 😅

Happy New Gardening Year Jane. You nearly gave me a heart attack when I saw the heading! So glad it’s nothing serious and a ‘friendly’ split! I have always gardened alone as hubby is not interested - just likes to sit and admire and eat any produce! I can’t imagine working with anyone in my gardening space. Hubby just helps with the heavy stuff and digging holes. I am just beginning to get that gardening tingle. Our trading hut on the colony opens this week and seed orders can be collected. I am determined to try and be realistic this year. I have pared down my growing list. I am getting older and less flexible so have to be realistic about what I can achieve as I won’t enjoy my happy place. Last year was really difficult so here’s to a better gardening year. Good luck going solo!

Hiya Jane btw as you started saying how much you want the wildlife and nature in your allotment a Robin showed up approx 8:29 right behind you hmm a good sign🐝🇨🇦

Happy Hogmanay Jane🎉🍾🥂 blessings. Southern Ontario Canada 🐝🇨🇦

Happy New Year to you both Hope you have a great year

Are/were you a teacher in your day job by any chance?

How about creating your own “sculpture” from the various items already out there. Imagine yourself to be happening upon it during an archeological dig 1000 years from now. Love the many possibilities!

what about a wildlife pond

the first hellebore is in flower

Happy New Year Jane... It looks so cold there.

nice to see you jane have a great growing new year

That looks freezing. Further south we have had a few days here and there but nothing like you seem to have. I used to have two allotments and only roped hubby in for the grunt work. He wouldn't have a clue about veggies or flowers. In fact I prefer doing it on my own as he likes to give advice that he thinks I need to follow even though he doesn't have a clue.

Hi Jane, Happy New Year to you and your family. I'm glad its been very cold, too, as we needed a cold winter to get rid of all those nasties. Lovely plot update. Im growing aubergine, orange beauty, black moon & honeycomb tomatoes for the first time, never eaten aubergine before. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Happy New Year Jane, and what an exciting start for you! I brought my Spring bulbs too from Farmer Gracy last month, and actually today I've ordered some Dahlias for my new plots. Fingers crossed for a thaw, so we can get this season started ☺️ 🤗 Tilly x

One thing for sure Jane…. You are never alone when you have a KZbin channel!! 🤣. If the workload ever gets too much, sub it out to a neighbouring plot holder 😉😉😉. Sorry Mike 😱

We have had a real wintry mix on the weather front this year. Looking forward to following your progress ❤
