July Allotment Garden Tour 2020 / Homegrown Garden

[@lorellstoneman74]

Love your garden, no wasted space all used well. Magical.

[@alltymecraftncreations9639]

I watched your channel for the first time tonight, and I absolutely love your garden, unfortunately some of the plants you plant in the UK don’t do so well in Australia, but I want to have a shade house built in my small allotment, but it’s lovely to watch yours. Maria

[@crespoopserc]

She Is young and already knows so much. This is unbelievably awesome of her to teach and spread her knowledge.

[@Dormousey]

Forgive me if I have said before... (potato reveals befuddle me as we don't grow them!) My summer rules for YT allotment watching are 1 x entertaining, 1x keeps me on my toes - advance sowing etc and one old fave. I have the bell clicked on two but I shall now click for you. I have always found you inspirational. I too was a horticultural student and to be reminded of the enthusiasm and studying of things and knowing pests/diseases/environmental effects is a wonderful reminder. I'm taking fun. experience and youthful exploration. Thank you.

Your garden and your knowledge impresses me Katrina. Keep up the excellent work - and sharing.

Your garden is looking beautiful. I am experiencing the same thing in my city garden in Boston, USA. It is amazing how we as gardeners experience the same conditions however we love our gardens! Enjoy August 2020 - I am looking forward to seeing your progress and August allotment tour. Happy gardening!

WOW soo great indeed. beautiful garden. all the way from Kenya always learning from your.

[@riversidewithme]

Greetings to Kenya from the UK! Gareth

[@dn744]

have a great result with super size plants and huge potatoes. I use a 4ft by 8 ft mesh sided compost area. Each year I move to a new spot. I did build an 8ft trellis for beans, but as I had lots i just put the potatoes in. The plants got strung to it as reached 7ft tall. Once dug up I had 1 potatoe at 1.2kg and many at 0.5kg. This proved effective now for the 3rd year. I thing the ground gets so full of of energy the plants go nuts.

[@RichardSmith-bm2us]

Stunning. I think your garden is one of the most beautiful on KZbin

[@lucyledezma709]

Hello Katrina!. I love your garden!!!. That is so beatufull!

[@homegrowngarden]

Thank you!!

[@Baelfyr]

Your garden is beautiful, you can tell how happy it makes you, your gorgeous smile couldn't possibly be wiped from your face. Easy for me to subscribe, cant wait to see more and finally a channel i can binge a few videos!

[@christydalgaard]

good luck with your butterfly counting - i am just here in DK watching the rain and slugs eating my garden...

[@mydanishgarden3112]

Christine, are you also having a slug nightmare? I'm in Denmark too, it's been an absolute constant battle with slugs this year, they've caused so much damage.

[@christydalgaard]

Johnny Lynch yes they have eating it all. The only Thing that has survived ate my herb bed. But onions, beans and salad are all gone. I am making beer traps now!!!

[@mydanishgarden3112]

That's awful, I lost quite a few bean plants and potatoes to them. The Viking and myself are on a daily slug hunt, it seems to be working, there are definitely fewer being found. My lettuces have been hit hard but I think I almost have that bed cleared now. I used beer traps in my potatoes and that worked well, I just find it hard donating beer to slugs 😂

[@christydalgaard]

Johnny Lynch haha luckly i have some Old beer 🐶

[@mydanishgarden3112]

Old beer? What went wrong? I'm confused 🤔

[@itsmewende]

Such a lush looking garden. Just Gorgeous, always enjoy seeing your garden. And those poppy seed heads looked huge, just wonderful.! Just today I watched Gardeners World here, they had a video from a little girl who grows Sweet Peas, she said to pinch off the tendrils, that helps produce more flowers, or maybe bigger ones.

[@JRO-zz9lv]

Feliz de ver que o experimento com as abóboras funcionou! Lindas crescendo assim, pro alto. E longe das formigas rsrs

[@johnrobson4230]

Have to agree Katrina, I’ve had my allotment for 3 years now and as you’ve already stated it’s been a strange year so far weather wise but on the other hand it’s my best year so far for growing my vegetables although as you’ve said some things have been a bit slow and I have had to replant a few things I’m rather pleased with the outcome, love your constant smile, enthusiasm and knowledge your a bonny lass and a really good gardener

[@100Noddy]

Your Hosta looks great. Mine are laced to ribbons. Excellent video, very competent gardener.

[@homegrowngarden]

Build a pond 💚😉🐸

[@jowilde4702]

Everything is looking marvellous. That pea tower WOW! thanks for the tour great job xxx

[@crose174]

Beautiful! You have inspires me to grow flowers and I love them. Im growing one of those Fish peppers too, I didn't know the leaves are variegated too, I thought it was just the pepper, Im excited.

That is a very nice allotment ,l like it.

Such a great space you have created... Beautiful to see such a mixture of flowers and vegetables.... and a great looking apple tree! : )

[@lisaschaeffer]

From south of Detroit with a backyard raised bed gardens, i just picked some cucumbers, tomatoes, and sweet banana peppers and long red noodle beans.

[@LittleCityGarden]

Enjoying your allotment tours and have learned a lot about gardening from them - especially about growing Dahlias. I am in Lincoln, so not far from you and got home yesterday from a few days away to find my first dahlia flowers fully flowering - so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration 😃

[@alastairwallis9499]

Your allotment is looking great. Well done. Will use your tip about shaking the tomato flowers. Cheers

[@PeterJ25-c9o]

Hello Katrina. I've been constructing a small rockery area in my front garden. It's been enjoyable work learning as I go. Have enjoyed the appetizing videos. Happy gardening.

[@daiseegray9110]

Your flowers are beautiful and the veggies are growing so well.

A great crop of carrots and beets. Well done. I have plentiful beetroot, tomatoes and courgettes as well as lots of lovely pumpkins doing well. I did try some honey boat squash after seeing yours last year - mine are very slow to even grow, not sure why! I am daily picking sweet peas, enjoy your pros. Good luck with your fig tree next year, mine is again so full of fruit, on daily guard duty so the birds don’t eat them all first. Look forward to seeing more of your harvests. Xx

[@stanpeade6674]

Hi Katrina. Enjoyed your July allotment tour. It's looking good. I'm harvesting potatoes (second earlies), and courgettes. My climbing French Beans were severely damaged by deer this year; so am only harvesting them from the top third, above the deer line!! I find that soapy water helps deter black fly. (Its rumoured that, when they rub the soap from their eyes, they loose grip, and fall off!!). Happy Harvesting!

[@plantingforliving4077]

So beautiful garden....Due to your hard work...THANKS FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION😊😊☺

[@plaisirdelanglais]

I started harvesting my first courgettes (and did a blind test with those from supermarket), carrots, potatoes and parsley. Today I saw my first kolhrabi ready. Cucumbers are starting to form, zinnias are in full bloom as well as other flowers. I have plenty of cherry tomatoes and chillies and also patiently waiting. Big thing this week was installing self watering system, no more hose pulling.

[@myhomerumahku2485]

Beautiful garden.Thank you for sharing

[@AmCastroDias]

Good morning again. In the fig tree, an important cultural measure is the removal of infected leaves that are still on the tree, as well as the infected leaves fallen on the soil, thus reducing the amount of inoculum.

[@freemovie335]

Your garden so so so beautiful ❤

[@wingingitsemiretiredlife2981]

Lovely allotment in July. I have a few thistle I decided to leave they are literally a pain to remove but I find beauty in them, also a deciding factor for me was because in a previous year I had observed gold finches going absolutely crazy for the flowers they were bouncing back and forth it really was a sight to behold and many gardeners as you know grow sea holly which is very similar I think. I find the puple flowers to be beautiful in their own right. Greetings from upstate NY USA. Oh and ps your allotment keeps getting better and better it really is beautiful a little eden that you've created. Enjoy!

[@stevendowden2579]

[@shobhak8155]

Wow love your garden ♥

[@APetula]

Thos butterfly count is awesome. We have the Suzuki conservancy here and they do something similar for the monarchs. I have seen both adults and baby black swallowtail on my dill and parsley. Monarchs adult i saw one. August is usually when the larvae hatch, so I'm excited to see my plot of milkweed colored with yellow caterpillars!!

[@nancyvance2772]

LOVE your channel! Beautiful.

[@healergeorge]

I have harvested my Broad Beans, Peas and Runner beans. I had lots of strawberry's and Raspberry's which I turned into Jam. I have harvested my Garlic and Onions. Had a problem with my Opel Plums. - After the dry spell we had lots of rain and most of the plums have split, but are still edible.

Hello! Loved your video 😻 I have so much growing, too much to mention. My peas, carrots and Pumpkins are doing so well. I harvested so many potatoes tonight. Your plot looks beautiful 😍♥️

[@mydanishgarden3112]

I love seeing your videos, as we start getting to the end of a month I start looking forward to seeing what's happened in your garden. Seeing your tomatoes and the course of action you have taken has given me great reassurance that I've done the right thing, I've been really concerned that I'm hugely behind. Hope you have a great August.

[@pausefornature8489]

I’ve been struggling with aphids and black fly too, they’ve been a nightmare this year! ☹️ Last year I barely had any problems, just the odd plant here and there.. great video Katrina, your plot looks beautiful 💚

[@MrSCOTTtheSCOT]

add a little drop of washing liquid to the water you squoosh aphids with water will just allow them to climb right back up, (not too much washing liquid less is more too much will burn a plants leaves ) this will deal with the aphids safer than other pesticides

[@lexdoit4921]

i miss you Katrina i love your green chilies. Take care

[@roosterneck2158]

hi Katrina, had some huge courgettes and a ton of peas so far, big broad beans a plenty, plenty of florals bringing in the bees....but total loss on potatoes and beets...must have done something wrong..still im having fun with it. great vid as usual and the plot is looking amazing !

[@jeremygonzalez3042]

You are stunning! I like your garden also😋

[@matthewbrooker]

On the aphid/ roses situation. Thecroses often make for a sacrificial plant for other, more succulent crops. Here in Spain, a rose is planted at the end of each row of vines to distract insects from the grapes...

[@GardeningWise]

very beautiful garden everything is looking great. yes the summer is cool and humid this year followed by a hot and dry spring which has benefited some plants but others are behind. I have harvested my first couple of cherry tomatoes this week and more has started to ripen. But my peppers and eggplants went into transplant shock and has been stunted for quite a while. They have just started to bounce back now so not sure I would have much to harvest.

[@cleanwater6278]

Hello i am a new fan from Canada you have a nice garden i have some of your plants and i have no apple trees going to get some next year like your videos

[@carmenbailey1560]

Wow, your crop of peas is trueing amazing, as well as all your plants. I planted sweet peas ( from seed ) was quiet happy to have four blooms. We need some of your rain here in Ontario.👍❤️😊

I really look forward to your monthly updates. Your garden is looking great. I think you’ll be having a bumper harvest in August. Just planted the first two plants in my new garden. One purple and one white Hardenbergia. I don’t know if you can get those in Blighty (they are an Australian native). If you can I’d recommend them for your plot. They are a bomb-proof, very pretty ground cover or climber. Thanks again for sharing your garden and a glimpse of your good self.

I really enjoy watching your work on the allotment. Your ideas are original and inspiring. I also have a backyard garden where I grow fruits and vegetables but also different flowers, I try to make it look like yours. Keep up the good work and hopefully the COVID consequences will alleviate soon. Perhaps not a donation this time but I will donate a small amount when my budget allows. Visar from Kosovo.
