- Does America have allotments like UK is a question I've asked myself. I've seen lots of videos on you tube but never seen anything like we have here..the old " make do and mend" style. Here we use everything and anything including an old bath for water (or pond) hope you enjoy it please like share comment and subscribe and don't forget to press the 🔔#listentolee
CLOUD PRUNING DEMONSTRATION
• CLOUD PRUNING DEMONSTR... - Розваги
We have community gardens in the U.S. but they are not as big and we rarely have our own sheds! Some gardens have lots of repurposed items and are very quirky. Thank you for all your videos. I’m learning a lot from them!
Thank you.. glad you are enjoying them 😊😊
Please turn this allotment into a lovely Secret Garden for those of us in the USA, Here in Detroit Michigan USA, there is such anxiety and sadness. Need someone to weed Mother Nature’s Gardens and make them amazing again. Show us how it can be done. Everything that you do for others turns out so well. Now is the time to do it for yourself. Stay safe and healthy and God Bless.
Thank you 😊😊stay tuned
What a lovely comment, hope you are okay. X
Love the cloud pruning❤️ Always plant flowers with your vegetable garden. Gives you something to enjoy while weeding. Stay safe.
I forgot to put the link in the description...its there now 👍👍
Bless you, never mind you didn't video, we will see the fruits of your labour. I have come in from raking clay soil, only did 30mins as physically unfit, spinal issues, but I keep trying. Love the cloud pruning, wish I were brave enough. X
we have very few places to grow our own gardens here in Sacramento Ca. I do love watching you work at your allotment. It would be grand if we could have one. We used to have a lovely tiny back garden, but our neighbor planted an oak tree that took away our sunshine, so now it is all dead, We lost our concord grape vine , three gardenia bushes , a fig tree, and all my flowers. Oh and the lawn which is all mud now . I do still have my elk horn fern that hangs on the chain link fence. My husband has got some planters with house plants back there because it gets very low light. Well enough of my waffling on , thank you for my time watching you and all your videos.
Sad about your garden getting shaded out. Cant the authorities do something about it?
Love 💕 the trees you trying to catch up with me putting your seeds in put my sweet peas in now and greenhouse is outside again but still have a few pot and trays in the house thinking of getting a greenhouse in my garden my tomatoes are through there already in 5in pot bit of pricking out to do xx 😘
Always good to see what your allotment is up to. Reminds me of my younger days and my grandparents taught me how to grow veggies in their gardens. To make a bit of money I'd grow cucumbers and deliver them, by bicycle, to the local hospital across town. Keep growing Lee!!
It's so nice to eat you're own grown 👍...even better if you can sell a little 😉
I look forward to all of your videos! Im a landscaper in the USA. Be safe and keep the videos coming!
Thank you 👍👍👍😊
I love to see your allotment,last year was great. Keep showing your lot.👨🏼🌾
👍👍🥔🥔🌽🌶🍓🍇🍅🌱🌱
Looks like every country is different ! Put my potatoes yesterday To in France . Good To have your small place. Good video !
👍👍👌
I will definitely watch your other videos on your allotment. Love it!!💕
🤩🤩🤩😉
Your allotments are alot like what's referred to as community gardens here in the U.S. often in more urban areas. Lots of people have vegetable gardens on their own properties by their homes in suburbia. My dad always had a big veg garden with corn, carrots, beets, onions, peas, green beans with rhubarb and strawberries on the side. America is a huge place with lots of variety, so just about anything you can imagine goes on. My mom had absolutely beautiful flower beds too and my favorite were the peonies. Unfortunately, I now live in an apartment with no garden space but I sure do wish I could have an 'allotment ' like yours. I would be in it everyday. Thanks so much for your posts.
Thank you 😊😊😊
I like the creativity in your allotment garden. I live near woods that contain hoards of squirrels, hence I only grow flowers. 😁. I'm too old for the battle! I am grateful that I have my beds to escape to during this time. The dogwood trees are in full bloom and worthy of trying my hand at watercolors to capture. Your videos are great and I hope you stay well and keep up the great work!
Thank you ..glad you enjoy your plot 😊😊ATB
Do what makes you happy Lee. I'm sure we all learn something from your vids. I've had to order all my veg plants online this year. Very annoyed that I didnt get them all in b4 lockdown. Got my beds all ready and reglazed the greenhouse. All set. Just gotta wait now. Stay safe pal.
Cheers mate good luck with the growing 🌱🌱🌱
I like the cloud prunning might have a go at that myself, Enjoyed this one keep the allotment videos coming always nice to see other peoples ideas
👍👍🌳
Have you looked at my PLAYLIST ....allotment videos 👍
I thought this was a great allotment video mate. Keep up the good work.
😊😊😊😉
Rhubarb looks good. As I was cooking my Rhubarb last week, I tried to remember who I gave my rhubarb recipe to last year, now I remember it was you!
I am a girl and I would rather have mulch! The soil looks good, full of nutrients, but nice and crumbly.
😊😊think I'll use the recipe again soon thanks 🤩..I'm going to use it for gin 🍸🍸🍸🍸
Me too, I get for my birthday topsoil or compost x
Brilliant video pal.im still relatively busy.but things are different pal.people in Chester are generally ok.but I did get one guy shouting out to me. Are you an essential worker..I'm taking all precautions lee.

Love your allotment videos Lee
Thank you ...check my PLAYLIST out 👍👍
In Sweden we have "kolonilott". Where I live in north of Sweden we have 1 meter snow but the sun is shining 🌞
🌞🌞🌞⛄⛄⛄
About the mulch. The idea is to cut down the weeds and save you some time. You don't want any nitrogen there anyway Lee. The less there is ,the less weeds you will have. I've seen people whinging about green mulch quite a bit. Think they are missing the point . Keep doing it Mr , it's all fine and better than buying chemicals.
👌👌👍
That’s a lovely, lively looking allotment lee😁 it’s looking good mate 👌 I miss my allotment😔 just have to make do with the flowers in the garden🤣🤣
Cheers mate ....its hard finding time in the middle of the season though (normal times )👍
I can imagine mate 😔

ua-cam.com/video/BgO-LmwSuhY/v-deo.html 👍
It's relaxing for you it's something you enjoy doing, it looks good bet your allotment was hard graft to get it to how you want it to look... 😁
Cheers pal yeah dont usually have enough time but now I'll try and keep it sorted 👍👍
Here in America we don’t have many allotments. In big cities like New York, Chicago to named a few in certain neighborhoods people took the insensitive and used an empty lot and grow vegetables . If you help you can collect. In big city a store to buy fruits and vegetables are scarce at times. One of the reason I enjoyed so much English programs, is the fact that the outdoor seems so important to you. People speaks of their gardens with pride. I am in Florida. It seems that an empty lot deserved a house. Not to much nature per say. We are blessed with our beaches but so little of nature paths. The soil is also terrible with a lot of sand, so raised beds are better. If one thing we are learning with all our shortages, is we need to be self sufficient. You inspired me to start doing more gardening this year. I am growing tomatoes 🍅, green peppers 🫑 and cucumber 🥒. I do have garlic (my French Canadian background demands it ). Let’s hope the hurricane saison will be mild this year. Sorry to carry on like this but thank you to have brought gardening 🧑🌾 as one of my hobbies again.
Thank you Madeline...Good luck with your veggies 👌👌 don't forget the BEST thing you can do is make your own compost ..its like steak and chips for your plants 😁
Great video lee👍
Cheers pal 👍👍
We plant our potatoes using a bulb planter. Least disturbance of the soil.
👍👍
Great video TFS am I right in thinking you have trimmed your new zealand flax? (Think that's what they are called??? Long thick leaf/ grass plants that you weeded around then mulched) Is that good for them? We have a very large one on steps leading to our secret garden which is all over the steps just wondered if ok to cut? Thanks Stay safe
Thank you 👍... yes it is a N Z flax....I love them but they were getting too big..I'm going to cut them right down but this is a gamble so I'm not going to recommend 😜 ( I have done it a few times and got new growth and all well) watch this space 👀
@@LHLgardenservices Ok thanks everso.
I think you are OK to cut them back. When I worked on a nursery we used to chop the mother plants back. Sometimes we would lift them too and space them out a bit.
@@patcannon8742 Oh ok thanks Pat
In 'Merica, it is possible to rent a small plot like this for growing vegetables, depending on where you live. But it isn't very common. Most homeowners who choose to grow vegetables, have enough space in their own "yard", as we say. Yes, the "garden" to us is the area reserved for growing vegetables. I suspect the typical American house sits on more land than in the UK, plus the idea of creating a miniature formal garden around your house doesn't really exist. I think it would be hard times to be a "gardener" over here--what we have instead are guys driving lawn mowers with 60"+ mower decks...all day long.
Ah..makes sense 😉👍👍
I don't have an allotment but, I have lived on a ranch in Texas, USA. Now I live on an acre with a big house and it's too much to take care of for me now. Want to come do my yards (gardens)? 😊
😁😁😁I've said it before....and I'll say it again...if someone wants to pay for my expenses then I'll go where the work is 🌍😁😁
I love your alotment videos ❤
Thank you Nina 😊
We like your allotment vids.
Thank you 😁😁... I would enjoy doing more but as I said they dont seem to get watched so I feel I'm wasting my time 😣😣
What potatoes have you planted Lee? 🥔🥔🥔👍
King Edwards...Charlotte.....and Maris Piper 👍
Love a bit o compost 😁😁
Yep...black gold 👍
❤️
😊👍
👍for more videos 😊
👍😁
Yes but it’s rented lots from private land owners. Farm lots!
👍👍😊
Meant to ask, can you make mulch out of ordinary privet hedge? Perhaps people don't know about your allotment videos, your title is gardening, some will pass it by which is sad.
Well...I was taught what comes out the ground goes back into the ground 🤷♂️
