The Big 2020 Allotment Review / Homegrown Garden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 гру 2020
- What a year 2020 has been! Join me in the big 2020 allotment review to look back on all of the crops I've grown this year, the many new projects I built and flowers I grew to see how they each performed. We'll see them again in their peak, when the plot was bursting with life and mark each crop out of 10 for it's performance.
I'll summarise my best crop, worst crop, favourite moment and favourite new tool for 2020 too. I would love to hear what yours were in the comments! Thanks again for all of your love and support this year.

Hello from Ontario Canada Thankyou Katrina your videos have been very helpful and a bit of an escape in these silly times we are all in together! blessings to you and yours🐝
I enjoyed this year in review. It was fun to hear about what went right and wrong as well as what new things you have planned for next year.
Great update of the year, love your style of presenting you have good knowledge and your happy uplifting voice and smile brighten up the winter
Hi from Italy Love how you dedicate yourself to gardening. Good job 👍and Happy New year 🍀🍀❤🥂
Well done, what you have achieved is amazing and you certainly deserve it, you work so hard.
I too have a winter flowering clematis (winter beauty) and like you I can’t wait for it to flower.
Looking forward to your next video in the new year.
Best wishes and take care.
Looking forward to 2021 it must be better then this one. Thank you for lots of very entertaining videos hope there lots to come keep safe
Great end of year feature. love seeing you garden. Had a reasonable year myself, great spuds and beans (all my beans are indoor grown apart from broad beans, The Sutton) due to the wind and cool weather here on the Isle of Skye. Hope 2021 goes well for you and yours. I'm perusing seed catalogues this week. Rgds. Richard
Excellent retrospective on your 2020 allotment experience. Your gardening knowledge is impressive. I just retired and will finally have time to devote to my garden again. I can't wait for spring! Happy New Year!
Brilliant video as always!
I'm excited for my veggie garden this year. I learned a lot this year through my own experience and watching your excellent videos.
We grew our squash up an arch over the path between the veg beds this year. It worked brilliantly and saved so much space!
Hi kat so pleased you have a new video out it really does cheer me up .i have been down to my allotment today and a good i did both the polly tunnels were sagging with all the snow on the roofs ,managed to clear them ok lol few ,well good luck in finding a new job kat i hope all goes well for you 😀 have a happy new year and to everyone who may read this..please stay safe people 😀we will beat this i hope !
Gardening really saved me this year. I love watching your videos. Not only are they soothing and relaxing, I also learn so much by listening to you explain things. Thank you so much and all the best in the new year!!
I'm giving you a 10 out of 10. Great work, and great presentation. Just amazing how much you grow in such a small area.
Your photography of the harvest is perfect! Such beautiful colors and design. And you have done so much with your plot! Wow, the turnips!! What a victory year. ❤️ Blessings from Atlanta, Georgia.
Amazing results! I'm inspired by your successive planting season by season. Might have to try planting those lovely straw flowers you mentioned, since I'm expecting a very dry summer here.
Thanks for the many great videos this year! This is a lot of work for you. It always makes me happy when I see you and your garden. And I learn new words in English from you.😁
I wish you all the best for the new year with all of my heart.🙏
best regards

I think you’ve had a fantastic year for 2020 and now I’m looking forward to 2021 💕 before I catch up on my binge watching 🌸💕🌸
Your allotment is as beautiful as you are. I really enjoy your tour videos. I had a great potato harvest this year as well. I just can't seem to get a handle on carrots but will try again this year. Good luck on you next job opportunity and this years garden.
What an amazing video Katrina, loved it. You've had many successes overall and you're such a great presenter, I think Gardeners World should snap you up. My daughter and I are thinking of vlogging our allotment next year too! Happy New Year to you and your family x
Hey everyone, you can help Katrina out if you love her channel like I do! Check out the description box for details on how we can support her during this time :)

Wonderful..
Wish u a Happy New year
Wishes from Italy.
Hello young lady !!! So luv ur garden and all u have going on !!! Bought seed starter dirt today....the area I am in is really having a covid explosion so I made sure I have my stuff to start everything with out leaving my property.in 6 weeks it will be time to start peppers and certain long germinating herbs. We don't start quicks growers until mid march here. I will continue to work inside my little heated greenhouse for the winter with flowers and certain herbs. Makes the long winter pass. Look forward to ur next video☺ lots of love and blessings from northern new York state in the 1000 islands region😘💕Happy New Year !!!!
Kat, thank you for bringing some joy and interest to us during this horrible year.
It has been lovely following your ever developing plot and sharing your ideas.
May I wish you a happy, healthy and joyous 2021.
BTW. I grew Incredible F1 sweet corn from Johnsons and they were so tender and sweet, will definitely be growing them again this year.
Great video. Thanks for the review. I juice most of my apples and freeze it for using to make avocado and apple juices. It's a great way to reduce the storage space needed.
Love seeing you and your allotment, amazing the accomplishments you have made. For someone so young and managed so much in two years,be proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Thank you. I’ve only been on UA-cam for two years but I’ve had my allotment for 6 ☺️ It’s taken a long time to get to this point single handedly but I’ve loved every moment! 😄
I have only just come across your channel and am binge watching. I was so sorry to hear you had lost your job. It’s happening to so many but that doesn’t make it feel any better I am sure. You have a lovely attitude and I hope things change for u soon
Merry Christmas Katrina 🎅 🎄
And that hedgehog!!!❤ Awww that makes my heart sing. Perfect home for a little family of hedgehogs. Your allotment is beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us and the wildlife. Happy 2022!❤
Great video! It was my first year with my allotment and it was a steep learning curve! The weather wasn't ideal so hopefully next year will be better for us all :) Also, I hear turnip gratin is good! Xx
Thankyou for this blessings to you and your loved ones xxx
Wonderful review- thank you for sharing
Wow..... great round-up of lots, and lots of beautiful fruit, flowers, herbs and vegetables. I think you have done a fantastic job. Such abundance. Great to hear all ‘ what worked’ and what didn’t work so well. You truly are inspirational. X
Thank you 🥰
Awesome harvest!!
Katrina, what a great review. For us in Sydney we are having a much wetter cooler summer than last years hot 45 degree days in draught. My best crops this year I would say is my corn which I picked a couple of days ago and got 28 cobs from 24 plants. Also my Silverbeet (chard), lettuce, radish & carrots. My failures would be onions. Tried multi sow and didn't work, & Tomatoes which got the grubs. Have a happy safe new year and good gardening. Cheers -Keith
Hello, Great review of your plot 🙂 I've never tried to grow squash vertically before but your method looks very good, I've got a patch of ground in mind & some good sturdy branches I've been saving that will be perfect for a tripod. Just ordered some Uchiki Kuri seeds off ebay so thank you.
You’re funny, love your 8’s. Great video
Lovely video thanks, I enjoyed it very much. I tried chard this year for the first time and love it, I've just about picked the last of it now. (9/10) My worst was probably leeks, didn't fatten or grow tall, I suspect not enough water in August but will definitely be growing them again next year and hope for better. Previous years have been OK so 2/10. Have a great 2021.
Really great review of your allotment year. No two years are ever the same and we all get winners and losers when it comes to crops. Be careful with the raised beds, slugs love them.I noticed your in for snow and frost in Nottingham over the next few days the garlic may need a fleece cover to avoid a repeat of last seasons disappointment. The local food bank would welcome any extra fruit if you have it to spare. I really like the mix of vegetables and flowers, so much vibrant colour. Looking forward to the apple tree pruning its something I never feel I get right.
a great year on the allotment...43 plus thousand subs on you tube...you could easily freelance to some gardening magazines and publications...or even write your own book, having watched the videos and taken many tips from them , it is a book i would buy without hesitation. looking forward to next year and more great plot videos, have a great new year !
Hi Katrina, another brilliant video and what a fantastic crop of potatoes. I tried a variety called Royal this year, apparently it is the variety that McCains use for their bakers, chips and roast and they cropped magnificent. Give them a go. Keep up the good work. 💕
Really enjoyed seeing this years garden, it's amazing how much can be grown in a smallish space. If you can get Silver Queen corn there, it's an excellent sweet corn, maybe you could grow sweet in the center with Amaize on the borders, maybe fake them out.?
I really enjoyed this, thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I'm in the US southwest corner. Its winter here. Temps in the mid 20's. Longing to grow something. Happy new year. I hope that your job situation materializes into what you'd like.
a real enjoyable look back 10 out of 10
I started growing them in polytunnel for early fruits 😉
Great video 👌
🍓🍓🍓
What a stellar job Katrina! You’re terrific at all of this ;)
Cheers from Jenny Victoria BC Canada🌊
We make apple jelly from our juice which I add a handful off blackcurrants to. All you have to do is mix it with a nice organic gelatine and hey presto, its bloomin lovely. Brilliant video, all the best for the new year.
nice garden and a very cute lady presenting the movie too
Great video. My best crop this year was garlic , beetroots, French beans , courgettes, kuris , and great heirloom tomatoes and still eating them now as I preserved most of them ! but rubbish potatoes ! 😞 Take care. Happy New Year 🥳 Hope you find a new job soon.
I grew Swift two years ago and it was brilliant. Would recommend.
Always be prepared for changes in life's weather & Seasons ! Ring out the Old , Ring in the New ! Better times ahead !
I wanted to add that I started making wine with my extra fruit a couple years ago. The bottles make great holiday gifts and it is a pretty inexpensive way to preserve a harvest.
Ein toller Garten Jahresrückblick gefällt mir sehr gut Liebe Grüße und ein tolles neues Jahr wünscht Benny
Happy New Year, finally your hat goes.
I think you do not mind, that I pay more attention to you than the big turnips.
We grew DT Brown Ambrosia sweet corn last year. We grow sweetcorn every year and that one is by far the nicest we have had. We did two groups of 16 plants with about 4 weeks between the crops. Worked wonderfully.
I have just found your channel. excellent... I like Charles Dowding too love the no dig ethos.... I have a coastal potager...
Thanks for joining 🪴🙂
Hi Katrina. Really enjoy watching your allotment videos, even though I don't always leave a comment. Yes, you're right: 2020 has been a funny old year! So sorry to learn about your job loss, mentioned in your previous video. During my career, I've been made redundant twice, and each time I felt guilty about it! Hope you'll find your dream job, next year. But even if you can't; please, please, continue to share your passion for gardening and growing veggies, via your allotment videos. They are so encouraging, especially during these strange times. I harvested about 3 stone of apples from 2 trees on my plot. Definitely the best year yet. Have you thought about growing Russian Vine, or Virginia Creeper up each side of your metal trellis? Looking forward to watching your allotment progress during next year. Happy harvesting!
I planted my sweetcorn with sunflowers looked fab and they grew well together
I grew only one (given to me by a plot neighbour) and planted it on the outside of the corn patch. I would love to do more of that next year. Thanks for sharing!
If you’re wanting to try a super sweet variety of corn next year, I might recommend the ‘peaches and cream’ variety. I’ve never grown it but I know some folks who have and they swear by it. Thank you for the content, I really enjoy your mellow vibe and your allotment has come such a long way!
2018 was my first summer growing a garden in the ground and it did so well, I've been a little disappointed with the two successive gardening seasons. It's feels better to hear from you how well your tomatoes and chillis grew that year compared to this year. Happy New year!
The seasons are definitely changing and the weather is much more erratic. It certainly keeps us gardeners on our toes! Best of luck for next year 🪴
You know,, I'm pretty much an okay grower, but the summer was so hot (drought) that a lot of my plants were sunburned. In twenty-nineteen we had a lot of rain so I had to deal with slugs. Ugh! This global warming is making it hard to grow anything. Aside from venting, I hope all of you have a safe and healthy holiday and throughout the new year too. Love the review. Aloha!
Great informative review.
Other ideas for apples - I had a glut which were picked from wild trees, and I dried a lot in slices (they make great snacks) but also pickled some! A great addition to salads and pork dishes.
Happy New Year!
Hello Katrina and a very good 38:18 video thanks that I found amazing such as it being fairly entertaining but very educational with your smart knowledge of what you do with allotment gardening and you seem such a beautiful person in every which way and I’ll be watching your future videos as as I know it’ll be a pleasure and although I’ve done a bit of gardening here and there at odd times I’d like to get more into it as it’ll help my well-being and I’m aware that gardening is a therapeutic activity and there’s a lot in an allotment variety wise to keep oneself occupied so that’s all for now thanks for reading my response so until the next time have a happy new year take care stay safe and cheerio
Everyones Cosmos came very late and weren't great Katrina .For your trellis plant trachelospermum jasminoides.Ever green and loves shade .Mine is in my darkest corner with almost no sun but blooms beautifully every year .Enjoying your review :-)
