Feel Good Garden
United Kingdom
Приєднався 25 жов 2023
There's nothing better to make you feel good than being out in nature surrounded by all the plants you've nurtured, cared for and watched grow. The food you've grown always seems to taste that much nicer and the flowers you've grown give you the feel good factor. I love either being in my garden at home or on the allotment on a warm sunny day enjoying a cuppa and natter with family and friends as well as having a potter, sowing and planting.
If you are following my journey then maybe we'll discover a few new things together or you'll be able to give me some advice as I consider myself to be a keen novice gardener and always open to learning.

Gardening At The Allotment In August (Planting Out And Saving Seeds)
In this video there's planting out, saving seeds, making the allotment look nice, gardening plans and a few surprises along the way.
More Brussel Sprouts planted on allotment 2 along with Dwarf French Beans. On the Feel Good Garden allotment plot 1, I plant more brassicas, including cabbages and mystery brassicas with their labels missing.
I've collected a few bags af bark/wood chip to freshen up the pathways on both allotments.
Sunflowers are coming into their own around the allotments.
Statice flowers are doing really well and I pick more to dry at home.
The Calendula flowers need dead heading and tidying up so I cut off the seed heads and save them in a bucket for now. This will allow any seedlings to grow underneath the plants.
The flower bed will be moved to allow the pollinators to pollinate the rest of the allotment.
I bought some log rolls for Doug to make a raised herb bed. Luckily they are the same height as the raised strawberry 🍓 bed.
The rain water tank is going to be moved soon to make room for a new herb bed planter. Some of the mint and strawberries will need to be dug up too.
The Crimson Flowered Broad Beans although look pretty are starting to have rust on the bottom leaves so I cut them off.
The two varieties of sweetcorn are starting to grow cobs.There's the normal variety and a Multicolour one.
I prune the Lemon Balm plant and Chard to give more room for the sage plant and tidy up the space. I also weed what will be the old herb bed.
Another allotment plot holder Colin along with his business partner Mark has made some wooden Feel Good Garden signs for our allotment garden.
I show you the various varieties of tomatoes we are growing both inside the polytunnel and outside on the allotments. There's also cucumbers growing in the polytunnel.
Time for a tidy up and I save seeds from the old carrots. I pop the pruning on the compost heap. I manage to find a few small carrots before finishing off wood chipping the pathways.
I cut and prune the sage as Doug wants to make stuffing.
My sunflower 🌻 challenge is for the tallest sunflower and biggest sunflower head. Please send your photos to Linda@feelgoodgarden.co.uk

Disaster On The Allotment Plus Another Genius Shed Idea and Raspberry Planting
I planted two varieties of corn together too. We shall have to compare notes on whether they’re edible or not 😅😅 You are so busy on the plots but all the effort you are putting in is being rewarded. both plots look fabulous. A real credit to all the work you’re both putting in ❤
Thanks Clare ❤️ Yes we can compare notes on the sweetcorn, that's if I can get to it before the rats 👍😂 Just come back off holiday so fingers crossed the plots are ok. I've heard it's rained a lot so hopefully the outside crops will be ok. Your sunflowers look fabulous and you're the only one so far to measure. I'm looking forward to receiving some photos. Any chance of a photo of you by your sunflower and I'll put it in my video and mention your channel? Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️ x
I planted corn close to the next door farmer’s one year. I was so excited to eat it but when I did, it was so starchy, and it had just been picked. I never grew it again after that disappointment. Hopefully, yours will not be like mine.
Hi Karen 👋 Awww there's a shame, fingers crossed mine will be ok. I hadn't thought about the cross pollination issue when I planted them. I'll be more mindful next time 👍 Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️
❤
@@ShirleyAnneJordan Thank you ❤️
Hello new subbie here ❤loved this video ❤
@@Barbiered Awww thank you so much and I really appreciate you subscribing too 👍🌻❤️
You are doing a great job in your garden. New friend here. Showing you support. The path ways look terrible. I love collecting flowers to. Enjoy your time in the garden 😊
@@reneesellers9708 Hi Renee and thank you ❤️ Do you not like bark/wood chip pathways? I love them as they keep your shoes clean especially after it's been raining. We are lucky to have it delivered free here. 👍😀 I love growing flowers they give so much pleasure don't they. 😍 Happy gardening 🌻🌹
@@Feelgoodgardens yes I love way they make the garden look. I meant to say terrific. Sorry about that
The corn will cross pollinate, you will end up with neither being true, but you won't know until you harvest it all.
Sounds like we'll have an interesting crop Helen 😂 I understand now why they should be kept separate. I hadn't thought of that 🙈 I'll remember for next time though. 👍thank you 😊 ❤
We are all planting brassicas here in New Zealand is for late spring and summer, first lot re out, 2 and 3 are growing on in the tunnel housr last lot have been sown.
Hi Helen 👋 Sounds like you've been really busy. That's a great plan, we try to keep crops growing throughout the winter too. Happy gardening 🌻💐❤
It looks beautiful on Cheryl’s plot my teddy bear sunflowers still haven’t bloomed it they should soon. I put in lots of bush beans too and I’m hoping to get some for late fall. It was nice to see all the updates Linda have an amazing week, Ali ☔️🌞🇨🇦
Thanks Ali ❤ I'm always admiring Cheryl's plot, I forget to look at the mountains these days as I'm too busy looking at Cheryl and Dale's plot when we're having a cuppa 😊 Fingers crossed that we'll both have a nice crop of dwarf/Bush beans in the autumn/fall. Have a fabulous time in the garden this week Ali 🌻🌹🌼🥂🌽💐🏴
I love your calming and peaceful narrative. Keep up the good work. Your garden is like you, quite lovely. Thanks for sharing.
@@VeraRadoch-su2wv Awww that's so lovely of you to say Vera, thank you 😊 ❤
Wish I could be of more help on the rust, but I never conquer it. I always battled it on hollyhocks and just gave up growing them. Limited success controlling with neem. I think I'd do a bit of research as I don't think you can eat beans infected by rust, which is a bummer. I did a little sunflower update on this week's video. I've got one that might be in the running🌻❤ My calendula are looking very tatty at the moment. I need to do a trim them too. My Atomic Fusion are still not ripe and I seem to be well ahead of you. They are beautiful and if they taste like Brad's Atomic Grape I will be so happy.🥰 Try the carrots a little different cycle like planting your seed late July for a fall harvest. They often bolt going from super chilly to hot. Also try an F1 like Bolero, as the heirlooms are more prone to bolting in my garden anyway. Fabulous update and the gardens are looking amazing. You have a way with flowers.
Awww that's fabulous feedback, thank you so much Robin ❤ I haven't had chance to watch your video yet Robin but I certainly will do 👍 Can't wait to see how your sunflower is growing. Can you send me a photo of you next to it with how tall it is as it would be great to mention you in my next video. I can also post it on my website. I've dedicated a page but no one has sent any pics yet. Send photo to Linda@feelgoodgarden.co.uk thanks 😘 I'm hoping the Atomic Fusion is as nice as Brad's Atomic. They were one of my favourites last year. Mine aren't ripe yet either, I don't think we've had enough sunshine yet. 🙄😂 Great advice for the carrots 🥕 thank you x
@@Feelgoodgardens Will send pic as soon as it blooms.
Lovely update, thankyou for my saved flower seeds, one day I'll have lovely flowers on my plot just like yours x p.s you can never have to many sprouts 😂
Awww thanks Lisa, you are most welcome ❤ From one Sprout lover to another, I totally agree 👍 😂
Hi Linda, lovely job barking your paths, it looks lovely. Lots of planting and tyding done too. Thankfully it wasn't blight, your tomatoes are lovely. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
@@christinebrooks6364 Thank you Christine ❤ Phew that was close wasn't it. It looked as if it might have been blight and last year was an absolutely disaster with our tomatoes. We went on holiday and when we came back the whole of the tomatoes in the polytunnel were destroyed with blight. Before we went away they looked so healthy. Mind you last year we kept the polytunnel door closed only opening it when we were about. This year we are keeping front and back doors open. I was so happy to read all the wonderful messages saying that it wasn't blight. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed this year 🤞 It's so nice harvesting ripe tomatoes and seeing the others still looking healthy. I can't tell you how great I feel about that. Only another gardener would understand that 😂
@@Feelgoodgardens that is definitely a good idea leaving doors open. I have a polytunnel and have half of one door with mesh which let's air in and my other door glides,so, I can leave slightly open as.we have foxes so, dont want them getting in. 🙂
Hello Linda,your tomatoes look fantastic,once they start turning red you'll have so many tomatoes you'll not knoe what to do with them all.lm sick of the sight of mine already 😊 lm starting to look like one lol.Ask Doug to tell me how to make stuffing,l would love to make some for Christmas.Your allotments looking fabulous ❤
Hi Joyce 👋 and thank you ❤️ I actually bought tomatoes 🍅 on Friday as we weren't picking enough ripe ones😊😂 For stuffing Doug says about 4 sprigs of sage, chopped up to make about a heaped tablespoon. Add to this one medium onion finely chopped, 4 slices of white bread grated, a knob of softened butter, one egg yolk, half to one teaspoon of salt. Mix together, (Doug uses his hands for this) This should be enough for 4 balls if you're doing it separately or more than enough to stuff a chicken. Hope that is easy enough for you to follow Joyce 🌻
@Feelgoodgardens Thankyou Linda and Doug 👌
guess what i bloody did , i chopped my sunflower down my huge head because i wanted to save seed , well i think icut it too early , theres seeds but not quite mature enough i doubt , but the petals where yummy as chips with kale!! xx your plot is looking lovely cant wait for more winter sowing x
@@__Shellspace__Thanks Shell ❤️ Did you take a photo first? 🤔 Never mind at least you enjoyed the petals and hopefully have some sunflower 🌻 seeds too. Even if they're not ripe enough yet to save I'm sure the birds will still love them 👍😊 I've not tried sunflower petals, didn't realise you could eat them so thanks for that. 👍🌻 Have a great week ❤️
@@Feelgoodgardens i did indeed it was glorious , nieghbours were mortified i cut it down lol more then me haha i got hundreds of seeds from it so im drying them carefully and fingers crossed x
@@Feelgoodgardens mine where edible sunflowers , so just double check your variey before munching away , but they where so sweet the petals and crispy x

Awww thanks so much Mags ❤️ Happy gardening week 🌻🌹❤️
Hi Linda. This year's carrots have been my first success. I sowed the seeds in egg boxes, after cutting holes in the bottom. I saw the idea on Naturally JB and thought I'd have a go. They turned out really well and I got big carrots. Another excellent video, thank you. 🌺
@@rebabs Hi Barbara 👋 and thank you ❤️ That's fab news about your carrots. Doug mentioned about sowing the seeds in egg boxes too so I might try that next time, thanks. Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️
You do have 2 beautiful plots linda. A credit to you ans doug. Some of my sunflowers didn't come to anything and others did. Weird. Great update. Danny 🌱
Thanks Danny ❤️ The sunflowers you do have, look gorgeous 🌻🌻🌻 Did you wonder when the other bird was going to make an appearance? 😂 It's a wonder what you'll find during a tidy up in the shed 😂 Have a great week 🌻❤️
@@Feelgoodgardens I knew it would turn up eventually lol
@@TheGrowUpChannel yes me too, looks nice now there's a pair 😍
I forgot to say that when I was weeding yesterday, I had a little froglet jump out from the calendula. He hopped into some other flowers on my plot.
Awww that's lush No wonder you don't have any slugs. The frog from our pond likes your allotment better 😂 x
@@Feelgoodgardens it was a baby one Linda he looked very cute.
@@cherylprice1790 Awww I love frogs especially little ones ❤ Was he about 2 inches long? The one in our pond is that big but I know they are only about half an inch or so when they first become frogs 🐸 😍 You need a pond on your plot now Cheryl 👍😊 xx
@@Feelgoodgardens he was just under an inch
@@cherylprice1790 Awww lush 🐸 ❤️ xx
Lovely upload, Linda, your plots look wonderful and those flowers are so pretty.
Thank you Cheryl ❤️ I'm really pleased with how the flowers on plot 2 turned out. Looking forward to the challenge of moving the flower bed for next year. My flower bed may be a potato bed next year! Thanks Doug for not mentioning it would be better suited in the middle of the plot. He was adamant that was for his potatoes this year 🙄😂😂😂 x
Great vid, you are a beautiful woman❤
@@dustinstrid1199 Awww thank you Dustin 👍😍
@@Feelgoodgardens you r welcome looking forward for more
Thank you Dustin 😊
Love the idea of the herb bed to match your strawberry bed it looks lovely, Don't think your sweetcorn matters being mixed it only matters if you're saving seed as they'll cross pollinate, I always do 2 varieties makes no odds to the corn , Those tomatoes in the tunnel are looking great Linda need to try those Barry's crazy cherry next year they look amazing 😊 👍
@@elizabethjames1053 Hi Elizabeth 👋 Lovely feedback thank you. ❤️ I can't wait to try Barry's Crazy Cherry when they ripen. That branch is really heavy with tomatoes It would be great if they ripen soon. Looking forward to trying the coloured sweetcorn. Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️
Thank u for sharing your video. You have many flowers 🌼 🌸 and veg plants. The music 🎶 is nice too. Well done 😊💚
@@sheryltaylor4502 Thank you Sheryl ❤️ I appreciate your lovely feedback, I enjoy growing flowers more than vedge 😂 x
I love your flower garden, Linda- beautiful sunflowers and the statice is so pretty. I have 4 beds dedicated to flowers on my plot. They really cheer the place up, don't they! I dead-headed my calendula today- I am hoping for some more blooms- fingers crossed. A herb bed sounds fabulous. I am trying to build a herb bed in my garden. I am going to make a small bed with pots for some different types of mint. Love the idea of orange mint and pineapple mint. I have chocolate mint which smells divine. I also have lemon balm, lemon verbena, french tarragon, thyme , chives and sage. Also have some garlic chive seedlings I grew. I think they say not to grow different varieties of corn together to avoid cross pollination and the kernels not growing properly, but I'm not sure if that's so as different opinions from various people. I guess the only way to find out is to grow it and see. After all we could all be growing a different variety to our plot neighbours so cross pollination is hard to void I would think. Thank you for sharing your lovely plot. You work so hard. Happy gardening 🙂 P.S. make sure you keep your carrots moist so they grow consistently
@@bewoodford2807 Hi Be 👋 What fabulous feedback, really enjoyed reading what you've been up to. 4 flower beds sound really lovely. You have a fab variety of herbs and your mint collection sounds great especially the chocolate mint! We do have lemon verbena but it wasn't the lemon verbena that I was cutting back 😂 I was keeping the carrots moist in fact they looked so lush and green before they bolted that I wondered if I was over watering them. Looking forward to trying the colour sweetcorn. Thanks for your advice. Have a great week 🌻🌹❤️
Coucou, Le mildiou un vrai fléau, merci pour ce partage. Encore une chance que vous ayez des plants de tomates De secours en extérieur. À bientôt 😊
Hi 👋 I can't believe how well some of the tomatoes are coming along outdoors especially with the weather we've been having lately. It's so exciting starting seeds off and watching them grow into plants with an edible harvest isn't it.I also love it with the flowers too mind 👍😂
Those statice flowers are beautiful linda ❤, your plot always looks beautiful too x
Thanks Lisa ❤ I'm definitely growing them again next year, the make lively cut flowers and dried flowers. 👍☺
Great video linda great idea using the large black tub to collect water. You should have a brilliant sprout harvest with all of those plants. Great to see comparison on the basil experiment too x
Thanks Lisa ❤ Danny thinks I'm overdoing it with all the sprouts but I told him I buy sprouts every week when they have them in the shops so that's 52 plants I need so still falling short of that. 😂 Looking forward to doing a tour of your plot. Send me a message when you're at the allotment so that I can speak to you first before filming, thanks 😊 Have a great week x
Look at the bees! They are loving your flowers. The onions and broad beans harvest look good, even with the rust. Love those crimson flowered broad beans. So pretty! I don’t think that’s blight. They look nutrient deficient. Fingers crossed they’ll be ok soon. Lovely video. You’re so busy and the plots are looking fab.
Awww thanks Clare, great feedback as always ❤ I love watching the bees on the flowers especially when I'm sat having a cuppa. Everyone has said it isn't blight and thanks for that, phew! Fingers crossed we have a harvest off the Crimson Flowered Broad Beans before the dreaded rust might come . They look really pretty so I'll buy them again anyway if only for the flowers ☺😂 Have a great week x
Flowers are gorgeous Linda and apparently the bees think so too 🐝🐝🐝. Excellent onion 🧅 harvest, I can’t believe you still have broad beans mine got rust ages ago. Certified hope the blight stays away this time. Have a wonderful week, Ali ☁️🇨🇦
Awww thanks Ali, great feedback as always ❤ Fingers crossed we have a harvest off the Crimson Flowered Broad Beansbefore the dreaded rust might come . They look really pretty so I'll buy them again anyway if only for the flowers ☺😂 Have a great week x
Such a nice and beautiful garden, wonderful garden
Thank you so much ❤
fabulous video Linda. Really full of interest. Thank you 🙂 x
Awww thank you Be ❤️ Have a great week 🌻❤️
We're forever on blight watch 🫣...you might be OK, it doesn't quite look like blight on the tomatoes....but it will always arrive, unfortunately 😕 Your outdoor tomatoes are looking fab, though, and the Colleen potato harvest is great. Beautiful size of potatoes 🥔 Delighted to see you got your hands on the Crimson Flowering beans 🫘 💚 they're so beautiful. Happy gardening and best wishes, Maiju 😊💚🌿
Thanks Maiju ❤️ Most viewers have said it isn't blight on our tomatoes so thanks for that, phew! I will keep a look out though. I leave the potatoes to Doug he chose them, planted them and dug them up. He's our potato expert 👍😂 I'm chuffed with our crimson flowered broad beans the flower is so pretty isn't it. The plan was for them to be planted on plot 1 where I could see them more often but after all that rust on the other broad beans I thought it best to keep them well apart. Have a great week and enjoy the sunshine 🌞❤️
great vid like always
@@BumblebeeAdventure Thank you Sandra 😊❤️
A really useful video Linda. I was just wondering about when to collect Calendula seeds. Haydn
Hi Haydn 👋 I'm pleased you found collecting calendula seeds useful. That goes with collecting most seeds. It's best to collect them on a dry sunny day when they are dry, most turn brown too but not all eg. the perennial cornflowers as it's best to collect them before the pods open after they've flowered and the petals turn brown. I'll show more collecting of seeds in my videos. Have a great week ❤️
I don't think that's blight linda. Thankfully.. time will tell. The oca might be curling due to overwatering or over feeding. Plots look fab! You've both worked really hard on them..fairplay.. Danny 🌱
Awww thanks Danny ❤️ Phew, hopefully it isn't blight then! I think I've mothered that Oca too much 🤭😂 Have a great week 🌻❤️
Your apron is so cute! I love sunflowers. I so enjoy watching your vlog. Always so happy😊❤
@@debbiegibson6113 Hi Debbie 👋 and thank you 😊 I'm so pleased you like my sunflower 🌻 apron. I love the deep pockets and it saves me from becoming too dirty 👍😂 Have a great week 🌻 ❤️
Linda, yours and Danny videos I really enjoy Sadly My mum has terminal cancer and I’m now caring for her. In addition to my dad going in to a dementia care home. Your channel gives me a little escapism and allows me quality time with my Hubby as I still juggle work I wonder if the people who make UA-cam channels like yourself realisesometimes even when your own allotment has to take a backseat, it’s so lovely to view others so from the bottom of my heart thank you
@@DadsPassedDownPlot Awww thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I lost both my dear mother and father to cancer and nursed my mother through it, so I really do understand and know how difficult it must be for you. I'm so glad that Danny and I give you a little escapism at this difficult time. Sending you a great big hug 🤗and lots of love. ❤️ Linda xx
Hi Linda I have learnt something from you today which. I had never really thought of. The broad beans hanging down when they are ready. I have been gardening for many years and never knew that. Every day is a school day. Love your videos and do subscribe .
sorry to hear that cancer is a curse i was told i had it in my prostrate
I'm using those clips too this year....so handy.
Hi Robin 👋 I've used them before, they're great aren't they so quick and easy to use to clip your plants to their supports. I use them on my perennial sweet peas at home and move them up as the sweet peas grow up the trellis. Have a great week 🌻❤️
Beautiful update, I don't think it's blight... Maybe lacking something 🤔 I'm defo giving statice and straw flowers a go... How lovely ❤
@@Lisa.j365 Awww thanks Lisa ❤️ I'm so pleased that most of my viewers are saying that it isn't blight. That's great thank you so much for answering that. I'll definitely be growing statice and straw flowers again next year.I have some drying in my garage already and can't wait to pick another bunch, this time I might put them in a vase with water 😊 Have a great week 🌻❤️ x
Great video Linda. I agree about the nasturtiums, they are supposed to distract the black fly but I think they draw them in and make things worse. It’s all looking lovely! ❤
@@thetweegarden Awww thank you Lindsay ❤️ I'll have to come up with a different plan for next year. I don't remember blackfly on my beans as much as that last year. Have a great week 🌻❤️
Doesn't look like blight linda the yellowing on the bottom leaves look like natural die back and those brown spots look like what i aways get in the tunnel on my tomato leaves condensation dripping on the leaves get plenty of ventilation in there does help , Lovely harvest 👍 , i've had the same trouble with black fly on the beans been a bugger this year i don't grow nasturtiums Love statice grew all blue this year they've been stunning . Loving the look of the barry's crazy toms going to try them 👍
@@elizabethjames1053 Thank you so much Elizabeth that's great feedback. We've had quite a bit of condensation in the polytunnel when it rains and dripping onto the tomato leaves. Statice are gorgeous aren't they, not grown them for many years and then it was only the purple variety. I'll certainly be growing them again next year. Have a great week 🌻 ❤️
@@Feelgoodgardens mine is exactly the same I leave the back doors open night and day ( it's got netting stapled to it so nothing can get in ) and I still get a shower in the morning as soon as I go in there drip drip 🙄🤣🤣
It was so kind of you to give me some of the statise flowers your plots look beautiful.
Awww thanks Cheryl and you are most welcome especially after watering our allotments while we were away. ❤️ Are you going to cut and dry any of your strawflowers? I've put mine upside down in bunches in the garage to dry out. I'm hoping to pick some more soon. x
@@Feelgoodgardens I think I will cut them tomorrow and do that too x
No, I don't think so, Linda xx
I hope you are right Cheryl, fingers crossed 🤞❤️
Hi Linda, oh no! So sorry you have blight. Good that you have outdoor tomatoes as back up 😊 nice harvest of potatoes, onions, beans and lovely tomatoes too. 😊 another busy day on your plot. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Thanks so much Christine ❤️ I Just noticed a comment from my plot neighbour Cheryl and she doesn't think it's blight. Fingers crossed she's right 🤞 We are going to keep an eye on them . 😊
Hi Linda, I have three same strawberries too, they are deliciously sweet. All my sunflowers were munched except for one and it died off a few weeks ago. Lovely plot update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Thanks Christine ❤️ I never seem to harvest enough strawberries. The ones in the ground get eaten before I have a chance to pick them. I need a rethink, hence me trying a raised strawberry bed. I'll have to see how it goes. The ones in the wheelbarrow are definitely worth spending a bit extra on though 👍😃
