Allotment Gardening Jobs ( and Potting On and Sowing )

Up the lane to the allotments and then greeted by all the flowers growing in the Feel Good Garden. I bought some orange Erisymum plug plants on EBay last year and they've now grown enough to plant out. Erysimum are perennial wallflowers. I plant them amongst the Perennial Cornflowers which are blue.
I'm not sure that the Hedgehog house is in the right place so I decide to move it to the side of the compost bins. I need to first move 3 containers containing allotment brewed plant food. This includes seaweed, comfrey and borridge and nettle. They've all been in the containers since last year so are a bit smelly. I use the wheelbarrow to move them to around the side of the polytunnel. I empty some out first using a watering can and bucket.
I've already put 2 ladybird houses on the Feel Good Garden allotment plot number 1 so I put another on allotment plot number 2, the bindweed plot.
I planted up my old wellies with forget-me-not spring flowers.
The bindweed plot had some old shed wood and roofing blocking the allotment pathway so I moved it all onto the old compost heap.
Time for a cuppa and enjoy the scent of the hyacinth flowers. The hyacinths are smelling gorgeous. We have a new
bell on the allotment plot shed.
Next job was to dig up some raspberries and make a pathway using bark to make access to the water butts easier. The bark pathway near to that compost heap also needs finishing off.
Polytunnel jobs next and time to pot up the Sunflowers 🌻 for the sunflower 🌻 challenge/grow along. I pot them up in large pots using a dibber to make the holes to plant them and water them using a watering can.
I show you the 3 peanuts that are starting to root for Nanou and Grinche's peanut challenge ( @plot.no9 )
Next I pot on the Covina Broccoli. There's 22 plants in all.
Doug has been busy planting more potatoes on the bindweed allotment plot. There's 2nd early potatoes, Nicola, Kestrel and Picasso.
Danny@TheGrowUpChannel kindly gave me some Pongo Dwarf Beans to sow. They are difficult to come by apparently so I'm really grateful that he shared them with me. Thank you Danny.
Danny@TheGrowUpChannel kindly showed me how to prune the grapevine plant on the bindweed allotment. He also showed me how to take cuttings from the Bush trimmings.
Then it's time for a cuppa with Danny at the Feel Good Garden.
A little bit of footage from the trail camera on the allotment. Nice to see Trevor is still around since moving the Hedgehog house.
Thank you for watching, liking my video and subscribing. I really do appreciate it.
Love from Linda ❤

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, linda. I'm happy to return the favour with jobs. You helped me out when my ribs were very sore. What are friends for 😊🌷 Happy gardening. Plots are looking gorgeous now. Danny 🌱

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Awww thanks Danny, you're a good pal ❤️

[@JoesPatch]

Cheers Linda, absolutely beautiful display of bulbs in flower 🏵️🌸🌼😊

Awww thanks Joe ❤️

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Linda, nice job barking some paths. It looks lovely ❤ how lovely of Danny to show you how to prune your Grapevine. You have got a lot of jobs done. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi Christine 👋 Thank you for your lovely feedback ❤️ Danny's a star ✨ isn't he. Couldn't think of anyone better to show me how to prune the grapevine. I rewarded him later as per usual with a cuppa and snacks 👍😊 😂

[@emmellj7133]

Always a pleasure to follow you and your doings at the plot🌱🌻🌱🌻🌻☕

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi Emm 👋 Thank you so much for watching my allotment antics and commenting ❤

[@plotno.9]

All’ your flowers are looking amazing on the plot! So many colours! Love the new ladybird house and the wellies planters, they look so cute! Great penny to repot sunflowers in! Hope your peanuts grow well for you! Great advice from Danny! I have 3 grapevines in my garden and I always prune them drastically, they do better for it! So many visitors on your plot, really lovely to see! 😘🌸💕

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Awww thanks Nanou ❤️ I'm still waiting for the peanuts to appear 😂 I'm not giving up just yet though 👍 That's good to know about the grapevine. It'll be interesting to see if mine fruit and what colour grapes they are. Hopefully the ladybirds will love their new homes as much as I do 👍😊

[@bethanskitchengarden]

Great update Linda, you got loads of jobs done there. I love your ladybird house and the wildlife cam is great. Good luck with your grape cuttings, take care 😊

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Thanks Bethan 😘 Akways busy at the allotment, like you in the garden especially this time of year as you know. Enjoy and lovely job! 👍😂 ❤

[@myrustygarden]

Wow Linda your flowers are absolutely stunning 😍😍. I bet it’s smells fabulous too. I did 100+ summer bulbs yesterday and more on the way 😂😂, at this rate we will have to eat flowers. Have a stupendous weekend, Ali 🥶🌞🇨🇦

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi Ali 👋 ❤ Thank you so much, and yes the hyacinths in particular smell gorgeous 😍 Your flowers are going to look gorgeous 😍

Another great view Thankyou

Awww thank you Louise 😊 ❤

[@Jimmy.Plot.41.b]

Great video Linda, i love woodchip, it tidies up a garden so much as well as mulching any weeds that may be present. Nice of Danny to come and give you a hand, but then again you have given Danny a hand plenty of times in the past. Glad to see Trevor is still around, i love watching your trail cam footage. Hope you enjoyed your cuppa. Dying to see the grapevine as it starts shooting off in the direction you want it to go.

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Plenty of times? 😂 calm down, Jimmy 😂 😂

It was one job at my plot 😂😂​@@Jimmy.Plot.41.b

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Awww thanks Jimmy ❤️ I only helped Danny out one afternoon, digging up his fruit bushes and laying down some bark when he couldn't do it himself. I do make him lots of cuppas though 😂

[@Jimmy.Plot.41.b]

@@Feelgoodgardens it was all the cuppas i was refering to Linda, not that afternoon you helped him out. I say the same about myself when neighbours call to the shed for a cuppa, i always say " i am always helping you lot " 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

You were a busy bee in this episode. You certainly get stuck in. Your sunflowers look like they’re doing well. Have the peanuts sprouted yet? Great work taming the grapevine with your little helper. He’s very handy to have close by. Lovely episode. Happy gardening ❤

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi Clare 👋 Yes sunflowers are coming along, how's yours?🌻🌻🌻 No sign of the peanuts 🥜 yet. I'm not sure if there's any more activity under the soil either 🤔 I might be tempted to look soon 😂 Enjoy the sunshine 🌞 ❤️

[@sheryltaylor4502]

Thanks for sharing. I like to see what you're growing and the wildlife at the end 😊❤

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi Louise Thank you so much for all your comments and lovely feedback and joining in with my sunflower 🌻 challenge/grow along ❤️ Congrats on starting a new KZbin channel that's fabulous 👍 Good luck 🍀 🧲 with it but most of all I hope you enjoy the process. It's time consuming but really good fun 😊🎉

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝Thanks for the great video🌻 The paths really taking shape! Soon you be the grape garden :P

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Awww thanks Sandra ❤️ The grape 🍇 garden, I'm sure Doug would like that better than the bindweed allotment plot 👍😂

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

@@Feelgoodgardens oke oke maybe do it a bit more posh. The Vineyard 🤣

[@Feelgoodgardens]

@@BumblebeeAdventure I like that Sandra but one grapevine 🍇 doesn't make it a vineyard 😂

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

@@Feelgoodgardens Beter then bindweed :P and you got allot of cuttings

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Definitely better than bindweed 👍😂 Better to have an allotment full of grapevines anyday 🍇 😂

How lovely Danny so nice if you to help........ mind you you did get paid for it☕ lol

Hi Chrissie 👋 ❤ Danny is a star 🌟 isn't he. We help each other out as and when we can. Usually it's over at the Feel Good Garden for a cuppa but we do have one on Danny@TheGrowUpChannel Fig and Olive plot occasionally 😉

[@chrissiehart22]

@@Feelgoodgardens everything is better with a cuppa xx

[@supermumprogram3303]

Lovely to see hedgehogs still around! Will you be making wine with your vines?

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Hi April ❤️ Isn't it great that Trevor the hedgehog 🦔 is still on our allotment. I'm not sure if we'll have enough grapes to make wine, we'll see how many we get. Might make wine from the other fruit bushes though 👍😋😂

[@chriseverest4380]

Bad news on my Sunflower challenge - my 'Mongolian Giant' is, so far, not gigantic! I mean its germinated hours ago!!!😂😂😂😂

[@Feelgoodgardens]

Don't give up Chris as some of my sunflowers 🌻 haven't long germinated either 😂 Still plenty of growing time 👍😁
