The Garden in September // Honeybees, No-Dig Beds, New Composting Area

[@dn744]

Yes, if your garden has space, then being able to watch them working, what a bonus 👏

[@Lovelygreens]

I'll be planting in front of the hives too...that way they fly up, rather than out. It helps with dispersing them so that you can work closer to the apiary

[@lokilawson]

Wow, what a lot you have going on now! I love your industriousness and your can-do attitude. Keep those harvests coming, and we’ll see you in October.

[@dn744]

@@Lovelygreens You can watch them flying around from inside also. Better than TV

[@Pervydachny]

Hello! Thank you for the helpful video. Very interesting. Happiness to you👍🐝🌹🌻💙

[@tiffcat1100]

If you save and dry the cornsilk (under the leaves of the cob) you can make it into a tea which is beneficial for bladder problems. You can store the dried corn silk in a labelled brown bag 😊

[@BubbleTeaKristin]

Such a nice video! Thank you for sharing! 🙂

[@itsmewende]

It is just mind blowing what the garden looks like in such a short amount of time. Love you're bringing the bees home, really looking forward to seeing them in the garden.

[@Lovelygreens]

It's exciting to see them from the window! They're buzzing around, learning their new environment, and are starting to look settled :)

[@LizZorab]

You've got so much done in the garden Tanya, it's all looking fantastic!

[@Lovelygreens]

It's so satisfying to see it develop! Hoping to get a lot done over the winter and by the time you come for a visit :)

[@stevendowden2579]

lovely video tanya

[@jeanneamato8278]

So much abundance. And so much work to be done. And so much joy.

[@JonShep93]

Cut the top of your tomato plants off to focus the ripening on what’s left on the plants before the season ends! And hang ripe banana skins in there :)

[@jennifercline7843]

Wonderful video as usual. So glad you can bring the bee's home as that makes life easier. For those of you who have not made the green tomatoe Chutney, it is fantastic. I have made it and used it on chicken and pork. I have made two batches and may make another one.

[@Lovelygreens]

Thank you and that's so great to hear! It's a fab recipe, isn't it? Great on meats and cheese and someone messaged me recently and said that they puree it after opening a jar and use it as steak sauce.

[@missourigirl4101]

You’ve done an incredible job in such a short time.

The colorful corn!! 😍😍

[@lisagoldberg5178]

Love the update on bringing the bee's "home"!❤🐝The corn is so beautiful, they look like jewels! Thank you!

[@Lovelygreens]

So pleased the bees are home! 💚

[@barbsmyth2697]

so psyched that the bees are home...they're going to love their new digs...everything looks fabulous...it's always a pleasure to watch your videos...❤

[@Lovelygreens]

Thank you so much, Barb, and the bees have settled in nicely :) I'm having a quick visit inside today to put a super of honey on each but they'll need more empty frames too. They'll be out looking for new forage and there's fuchsia, ivy, and loads of other flowers still blooming. Bees can stay active making honey here into early November 🍯

[@maryelizabethcalais9180]

I so enjoyed this video; just watched the ending. Exciting about the colorful corn....... Long ago, I made cornhusk dolls that were adorable. Also, used the cornhusk to make tamales. Great memories of my several children with me around our dinner table as a team making tamales and wrapping in our cornhusk. Gardening brings a whole family together sometimes :). Peace!!!

[@altheab.8907]

Everything is looking so lush, Tanya. You’ve accomplished a great deal on your property in a short time. It looks like you’ll have plenty for the winter. Love the Polycrub! Fresh greens all year! How great is that? 😊💖🦋🕊

[@Lovelygreens]

Thank you and I feel do incredibly lucky to have it! Having the right environment to grow food can make all the difference 💚

Hi Tanya, your garden and green house are wonderful. I have had bees and always enjoyed sitting nearby and watching their activity and what they are bringing in. Our biggest problem in the States are Varroa Mites. Are they a problem on your island? I finally gave up because of the pesticides that are used to control them.

[@punjabseth260]

That’s a very brave spider 😊😊.

Beautiful garden 🏡🏡

[@gardeningwithprincess]

I saw a caterpillar on your netting at 13:49. Looks like it was on the inside.

[@Lovelygreens]

I spotted it too while editing! Cheeky little thing 😂

[@TheChristinaJo]

I’m jealous

[@milkweed7678]

Great video! I'm from central Indiana. IN and Nebraska go back an forth as the #1 popcorn producing states. It has to dry down in the field and is harvested when soybeans and field corn are harvested in the fall. It's not mature until the black layer under the kernel forms where it connects to the cob at about 30% moisture. At that point the plant stops feeding the kernel. The plants literally die before it's mature and ready to harvest. As you know you buy it in the store very dry. It won't pop very well until it gets dry. (14.35% moisture is the ideal popping moisture) but it will pop a little higher than that. I use to raise hundreds of acres every year for Weaver Popcorn Co.

[@Lovelygreens]

Thanks so much for this 🙏 It's too wet here already to dry the cobs outside but hoping to get them dry enough inside. Apparently this type of corn will pop when fresh on the cob too. I'm going to try with one of the smaller cobs today. The seed supplier put out a video showing rubbing a cob with butter and popping it in the microwave. Mind blown.

[@lissapowell967]

@@Lovelygreens i'm from Indiana popcorn country, also, and used to glean the popcorn fields after harvest. My fingers would get so sore shelling it! Popping it in the microwave is easier on your fingers and a popular technique around here.

[@milkweed7678]

@@lissapowell967 Hey there Hoosier! Yes, but as you know it does have to be dry to pop. If it gets really dry on the cob it shells off extremely easily.

[@paulhulley5969]

You’ve come a long way Tanya, from your old place to this, you could eventually be like Charles downing with that small holding you both have, wishing you all the best 👍🏻

[@jeffreymilton5829]

I grow lots of yacon. They survive well in the ground if you mulch them and make a great addition to early salads when it's too early for cucumbers.

[@Lovelygreens]

Great tip! Where are you located? Does the ground freeze at all?

[@jeffreymilton5829]

@@Lovelygreens It does freeze, but not too badly. We're just south of London, so a slightly less harsh climate than you will experience. Plenty of mulch!

[@pennythompson4790]

The corn is so prettyxx

[@Lovelygreens]

It really is :)

[@maryelizabethcalais9180]

All looks fantastic!!! I'm wondering about the wasp feature; Did you make it yourself and how did you plz? Also, my Mom pickled green tomatoes cut into narrow wedges with sliced cayenne hot peppers and chayotes (mirlitons) cut into french fry style slices..... all with vinegar and placed into Ball jars and given a hot water bath to seal covers. Yumm, delicious!!! Just another way to use green tomatoes :) I so enjoy your Channel. Keep it up plz..........

[@adelyousef3055]

I wish I can taste the organic raw honey you produced.looks amazing.Great video Tanya.

[@tassiegirl1991]

Still looking fantastic in your garden You certainly take on a lot of work are you thinking of going into market gardening? with the bees too I admire you both. Out of interest. Do you make creamed honey too or just runny honey?

[@JonShep93]

Have you ever considered getting a flow hive? Much less hassle when collecting honey!

[@Lovelygreens]

They're not very good for bees or beekeepers, really. No real beekeeper uses a flow hive for anything other than novelty.

[@tiffcat1100]

[@boredgrass]

I was a bit sad when you mentioned that you give up your allotment. I quite understand why; however I just realised that by following your journey on it I got attached to it! Perhaps you can connect to it's next owner and drop in from time to time to see what becomes of it?

[@Lovelygreens]

It is very sad and I've let the committee know that it's my last year. Hoping to be able to visit in the future though :)

[@boredgrass]

@@Lovelygreens I gave it a bit more thought. See, you've accustomed your plants to stand in the limelight! They know they are stars! I expect especially the shrubs to make trouble, you know, thinking they are trees! The Red Currants will demand to be addressed as Cherries! Your Calendula wants to go to the Sunflowers! Your successor better be a horticultural psychologist! So you see, you'll have to wean your garden from your touch for quite a while!

[@douglasm1075]

Just curious what you use for fuel for your bee smoker? I have been bee keeping for a few years now, have tried various fuels, and still struggle with getting it to keep smoking more than a minute or two... Thank you! a fellow bee keeper. DM

[@Lovelygreens]

I use whatever I have on hand but tend to start the smoker with a touch of beeswax and dry tinder. Material that's a little green goes on next since it produces more smoke. I grab half-dead gorse branches, usually, but damp wood chips work well too. Also, having a creme brulee torch is a game-changer in getting the smoker started! I used to use an ordinary lighter, but it was often difficult to light the material inside.

[@carolynlouise6566]

I have a question, i have land where dogs and bunnies are. Can i do a garden if sectioned off

[@Lovelygreens]

Of course :) and you can use bunny waste in your compost pile. Great soil nutrient!

Why you giving up the allotment you done so much workk

[@Lovelygreens]

It's just too much work for me now. I don't have time for both the allotment and a home garden, unfortunately.
