    Grow It Plot Tour May 2022 // Vegetable Gardening and Mega Lettuce Harvest! #Allotment #Garden
    It's a particularly nice May (so far!) and we're definitely off to a better start than last year! It's the perfect time for a full tour around my allotment to see what's growing and also a look at all of the changes that I've made since last time as I try and make my former piece of derelict land into a fully functional food growing allotment plot, hopefully on the way to creating a self sufficient vegetable garden.
    Here's a couple of the videos that I mentioned in the video in case you missed them:

    This video is also a bit of insight incase you've ever found yourself wondering what is an allotment or what is a gardening plot. This video is 2 years and 6 months after starting with an overgrown dump.

    Great video, I had the same problem with marigolds , I had to purchase new seeds and change my compost. My garlic is the same but I thought it wouldn't be ready until end July. I cut my comfrey and put it in my compost bin.

      Yeah I think you’re right, I picked up some better stuff yesterday so will sow some more. They didn’t grow in coir either!

    You can sow your peas in Feb indoors, mine went out early in April and are now just flowering, had the first pod today

      That sounds great I wish I had some now! I think I sowed my first lot late feb but waited a bit long to put them out while I sorted a new bed for them so they weren’t too happy! Did a direct sowing this week to hopefully get a few extra before the end of summer!

      Definitely do get carried away, I always sow them and realise there’s nowhere to put them yet!

    Morning Barry, my marigolds are doing good but very shallow roots so not sure if it’s because I had them out side in a lot if rain. Poor viola it struggled all winter 😂😂 so find her a home. We have loads of crows but mainly they leave my garden alone as they are too busy terrorizing the little birds trying to 🪺 😭. Your like me I know what the plants are but never remember to name the varieties 🤷‍♀️. Wow 😮 loads of 🍒 will you have to loosely net it? Loads to do now for sure but it’s the same problem I had so much grew so well I ran out of room even gave away loads 😂😂 I promise I will sow less every year. Not doing chard again will stick with Komatsuna and some soft leaf kale. Thank you for sharing the good and the bad. Have a great week 🐝 safe

      Thanks Ali! I’ll find somewhere for the viola after all that effort! I think I will put some net over the tree, I did last year but it’s twice the height now I’ll have to go up the ladder! I would never have guessed that chard would be the most polarising one everyone seems to dislike it!

      Excellent name there haha! I’m in Liverpool I think we didn’t even have a ‘proper’ frost this year, just a couple of light ones upto maybe early March. I think we’re just a couple of degrees milder here every winter, it doesn’t snow ever!
