Don’t stress yourself. I’ve donated 3 times so I’ve got you covered 😊. Ivan only mentions the donations as he wants to show appreciation. Clicking the button is as good as. Share your knowledge with anyone who wants to know and the world is a better place ❤gailgreenberg

That is true i would never ask for Donations but it is very important to thank those that do Donate Thank you

[@sandyshore8787]

I love the red star plant. It will be very striking in your garden. The round carrots are so interesting! Can’t wait to see them. The gem lettuce looks delicious. Your raised beds look so perfect and neatly planted. The marigolds look great in there, that’s my favorite color! I really like your planting tool that makes the holes to plant. It works great. You got a lot done Ivan! Beautiful day. ☀️🥕🍅🥬

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Sandy it is starting to come together

[@twelvesmylimit]

Wow, what a difference a week made to those tomato plants!

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

It really did Thank you

[@nataliekavanagh5573]

You've become my favourite channel. Really good natured, regular folk. No fancy tools or big massive farm like plots. You're both inspiring and have boosted my gardening confidence having just started this March. I've now definitely caught the bug, and if my plants/veg or fruits don't work out sure so be it. I've had a blast and I've learned so much for next season! Thanks again Ivan and Ginny

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thats brilliant Thank you Natalie

[@CeeGilesy]

Love it Ivan! I am learning every day with you! Keep it going!!!

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Great stuff Thank you

[@leehoeppner1199]

It couldn't have been easy moving from a large garden with several greenhouses to a much smaller space. I really felt for you and was not sure how you could/would make it work. But........ You look very happy in your new surroundings and wow you make use of every inch of space. I may need to downsize my garden in the very near future and fear losing growing space but again you amaze and inspire at the same time.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you Lee very kind of you

[@gailgreenberg6953]

Ivan I wish I could donate to you. I am on a fixed income and can't manage to help financially. But all my thoughts and prayers are with you and Ginny.

I'm having lunch every day now thanks to you. I get in the garden and forget to eat then wonder why I've got a headache. I make time to eat lunch and watch you. No headaches! Love the program.

[@Sydney7768]

Really glad I came across your channel several weeks ago. I have had a very difficult few years and have found gardening in the last couple of years has helped my stress levels. I have little idea what I am doing but have been inspired by your ‘get on with it’ attitude. I am trying to do it all on a very low budget so it doesn’t always look that pretty but have decided to embrace the rustic look. Looking forward to seeing how your garden develops and will be going back to watch your older videos in between. All the best with your new home.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thats great welcome aboard Sydney and Thank you

[@susiea1419]

I’m leaving all my plants out now too Ivan even though I’m in North Yorkshire. I spent weeks hardening them off so I’ve told them they have to take their chances or die 😂😂😂

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Should be passing your last frost date around now so should be ok Thank you Susie

[@ausfoodgarden]

Seeing you buying all that compost made me think. You seem to have a fair bit of space under the caravan where you could put a couple of totes and some worms to create castings. you might be able to reduce your compost buying and make a bit yourself. It's very easy, even I can do it. 😊 Cheers!

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Thank you much appreciated

[@sandyshore8787]

Thanks! I really enjoy watching you plant all of your garden containers, and hearing what you have to say. You have such great ideas in the way you do things. You are such a pleasant person and have such joy in what you do , and you grow so many different things! You are very inspiring and have taught me a lot. Take care. 🤗🩷

Cracking job there. Love your channel. Would love to know where the trays of veg are from as I can't quite make out the labels so can't source the supplier. They look really well grown and prepared so I'm keen to track them down! I really like how you've both made the most of your change of situation and have found a nice place to settle and a lovely friendly community to be part of. It really does make a difference to wellbeing. Can't wait to see an abundant harvest soon!

Ivan,, , we have that very same obelisk, its now in its 3rd yr & still holding up. I'm ready to plant out purple scented sweet-pea seedlings on it this yr to put on patio. Seeds only cost me 99p. That red cordaline was a real bargain buy, would look so nice against a white railing on a balcony seating area, gentle breeze moving those gorgeous leaves. I'm on the look out for budget lightweight window boxes to make full use of my small patio area. l over sown mixed lettues & now ready to plant out., l dont want to waste them lol. Off to our local car boot tomorrow to see if l can find one.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Great stuff Thank you Katie

[@darkblaze3440]

Not sure if you know this but your celery will grow back next year they overwinter well just take off what you want and leave around an inch or so at the bottom. So each one will do 2 seasons no problems. I grew mine from seed 2 years ago had heard they were not easy to grow so over did it had so many plants i didn't know what to do with them all.

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hi Ivan. You are doing a great job with your new Caravan Container Garden and I really look forward to your updates each day. I have struggled with getting a low price but decent compost this year. I think you said the compost your were buying was £5.00 for 50 ltrs which is very good. It looks quite good stuff and I wondered what make it is and where you get it from? Thanks. Trevor

[@ivans-gardening-allotment-uk]

Hi Trevor its called Verve from B&Q 3 bags for £15 Thank you

[@trevord1021]

Thanks Ivan. I will give B&Q a try. Trevor

[@CSaville]

My Dwarf French Beans in containers were brilliant last year. I'm doing them again this year, just more of them, and also Dwarf Runner Beans and cut and come again Lettuce. I'd never have even considered these as an option in container before watching your channel. I'm really looking forward to watching things develop over the coming months and seeing how much more I can learn!

Excellent video again , Ivan. Now you’re in a windy part of the country a wind shield called a dead cat on your microphone may help cut out the wind noise? Just an idea. I use one on my Zoom😊
