Hopefully it helps you guys to realise that this is all normal and something we share… regardless of experience

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

This video is very timely. Had a few moments myself today about how much I want to get done and how I need to spread myself thinly to try and keep on top of all of our growing spaces. It’s so much for one person. Your garden is pristinely kept. You both work very hard on it and it shows. Love all the different areas and especially loving the pallet planter. It’s so striking. You have gotten me in to Bidens. I hadn’t heard of them before you were sowing them, and I googled them. LOVE them Loved this video. Really important to understand we are not alone with these feelings. Thank you

[@eliandkate]

That’s one of the things I love… getting to introduce folk all over the world to all the different plants I love. It’s amazing how many people grow King of the North peppers now, aubretia, flow, mims, bidens, foxgloves, even dahlias. When I did my first dahlia video so many folk who’d never tried them before fell in love. Its great.

Auck I'm the same here in Ireland hi. Have a million spare seedlings and trying to force them on unsuspecting nervous looking relatives and neighbours. I just can't do it. I'll shove them in nooks and crannies if I have to. What can I do with 100 pansies and 200 oxeye daisies to name but a few. But aye it's all relative. Your garden looks brilliant. Well done you two.

Your comment “It’s good to say no, I’ve DONE stuff” making you feel less like you’ve got so much to do really resonated. Two months ago I had an uneven and slightly overgrown garden and am now in the process of getting it how we want it. It’s looking a bit like the Somme and there’s still so much to do, and often I can’t stand outside and enjoy the space because all I see is ‘what needs doing’, but this video has been a welcome reminder to realise how much has already been accomplished! Now have a greenhouse, three full beds and many buckets of spuds on the go! Thank you both, great work as always!

Just as I’m going through my own ‘oh my god I’ll never get everything done, I’ve sown way too much, where am I going to put it all and where do the slugs keep coming from’, head bouncing in a million different directions at once, sort of panic...your video dropped. Gave me a much needed opportunity to take some time out, with a cup of tea, and realise I am not alone. Like you, I got so much done last weekend in the good weather, but in the mad week that followed, I forgot what I’d already achieved. So, thank you for reminding me to take a moment to look around and take stock of what I’ve done so far. Oh, and the local community allotment is going to be getting A LOT of seedlings from me this year. At least I don’t have to throw them away, so that makes it easier to say goodbye to them. By the way, your garden is looking absolutely stunning this year already (even in the haar).

[@eliandkate]

That’s the BEST news I’m so glad we’ve helped give you a wee moment to stop, breathe and take stock. We forget too often to celebrate the awesomeness we are and focus too much on trying to meet some sort of standard that we put on ourselves…

Lovely video from start to finish. You hit the nail on the head about this time of year. I absolutely hate getting rid of healthy spare plants as well. I managed to pass on four cucumber plants and a courgette to our windowcleaner yesterday, he has an allotment and was really pleased. Sadly I have a dozen perfect tomato plants that are surplus to requirements but the neighbours and friends who had expressed an interest in any surplus plants, when asked in in the bleak months of January and February and no doubt with the best of intentions and thoughts of bountiful harvests to come, have now changed their minds now that Summer is nearly upon us. Compost it is then 🙄 Great drone shots by the way. I was so excited to get a drone with a view to taking it on holiday but they are banned on aircraft and cruise ships now. If I made videos like you I'd have one quicker than you could say Paypal!

[@eliandkate]

I’m not sure how much use I’ll actually get from the drone, given how small our garden is but it’s been fun. It’s one of those super simple self flying ones : hover air x1

It’s daylight until late and we just had supper and watched your vid. The garden looks Great! What I have realized is my tagging and note taking skills have fallen by the wayside because as I was planting peppers I came across a label or two with question marks on them 🤣🤣. Holy heck I have no idea 🤷‍♀️ I know I lost track potting up once but not twice. They will be a surprise just like the seed I thought was just dust and thought, what the heck and threw them in a winter sow jug-OMG! Thousands of something germinated and it’s like a thick carpet😅😂. I know I saved them for a reason and I think they are Spilanthes or ‘toothache plant’. Not sure but I’m going with that. Thirty one tomato varieties and 28 pepper varieties I should cut myself some slack 😂. Then I look around and realize there are at least 7 other veg that need to be sowed yet and wonder who can bunk with whom. If all this stuff grows it will be a jungle. Over-did perennials and some may be aggressive-yeah, so will need to deadhead. Love those blue flowers on the apple wall, never seen them before. I think there will be a lot of never seen before in this yard.

[@dogontheplot]

Really inspiring to see what you can fit into a relatively small space. I've got 5 varieties of blueberries - and still disappointing harvests! But I think they were too squished together so this year they all have their own large pot, ericaceous soil mixed with homemade compost, and a sunny position. Have you tried honeyberries? I have two of those (another one that does better with a pollinating partner) but they're fruiting now and they are gross lol. Maybe need to ripen a bit more... I also have new-ish apple trees with lots of tiny fruits on - I'm so excited! I guess I thought all apples pollinate all apples - oops. I assume on the plot though that there's enough apple trees about at least one to be the right partner!

The unpredictable aspect is always the weather, and here forest fires are already bad. Drought in a temperate rainforest zone, go figure. People here don't bother trying to save water for the gardens, "assuming" there will be rain. "Assume" often means 'making an ass out of you and me'. I prefer to plant according to the seasonal changes that happen with the changes in the Pacific Ocean currents. This year, dry, very likely stormy, either very hot and dry or cool.

Hopefully the bone/blood meal will feed it slowly and liquid fertilizer will start correcting the yellowing leafs. Any thoughts?

I watched a gentleman in either Netherlands or Belgium who uses pots so he can move things and fill the gap early, amazing garden.

Speaking of pollination... would you happen to know the distance plants would need to be to each other for cross pollination (ie like blueberries and apples). I have a store bought granny smith that is said to be self pollinating in the side of my garden then I have some apple trees grown from seed in both the front yard and the back yard (so a decent bit of space between them but within our block). Should they be fine or are they unlikely to benefit from cross pollination when they are that far apart? Your flowers are looking lovely by the way!

[@eliandkate]

I’d say those should be fine space wise. Have a double check on pollination groups with your apples to make sure they are all a match…

Adding my two cents 😊 Here we say that you need another appletree, or a neighbour’s tree within 200 meters (1/8th of a mile). I think you wpuld be fine withe that spacing 🍏🍎

@@Ragt0p thank you for that... I'd say the four to five apple trees I have dotted around the property are within a triangle of a fraction of that distance... so indeed it does seem I should be fine :D

Have you ever ordered plants online or through the mail?

[@eliandkate]

I have indeed I even did a video talking about it and my tips 😁
