August Allotment Garden Tour + Life Changing Announcement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2018
- In this month's tour I have a BIG life changing announcement to make and I still haven't come to terms with it! My dahlias are finally in bloom and they're taking over my allotment (and my home). I'll also show you around the crops that I'll be harvesting over the autumn and winter months, including the biggest vegetable I have ever grown!
Inside the polytunnel the tomatoes are having their best year yet, as are the chillies! Tempted by first ripe Jwala chilli, for some reason I thought it was a great idea at the time to eat a bit of one raw on camera. This is not something I would normally do or recommend unless you enjoy the feeling of your mouth being on fire.
What videos would you like to see over the autumn and winter months? Let me know in the comments!
Filmed - 26th August 2018.

Thank you for all your lovely comments!
Your got a lovely allotment thanks for sharing hope you job is going well 🙂
I love dahlias also. I have 78 different types and I love your programs, I have learned lot from you. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for your next video. Lol
I'm so excited for you! Congratulations!! If your allotment is any indication they have chosen well. I am a lifelong gardener and I have done it professionally for the last 20 years. Here is my advice on working in the elements... If you possess basic common sense working in the elements is simply Mind Over Matter. People always ask me what I do on rainy days and I always reply "I get wet!" I may not always have a comfortable job but I have never come to any lasting harm and I'm rewarded with those gloriously perfect days when I get to work outside and everyone else is stuck inside!
Congratulations! It is always good to move forward with an opportunity like that to explore your passion. Keep learning and growing!
Congratulations on your new gardening job!!! Your excitement shows you made a great choice in accepting the position. Have fun!!
How exciting! I wish you well on your new adventure and look forward to hearing about it.
chilli 🌶 pickle..crushed fenugreek seeds, crushed coriander seeds.. jaggery, salt , crushed black mustard seeds( roast all the seeds together slightly )
Congratulations on the gardener appointment! I enjoy your videos very much. I’m a Master Gardener in the Ozarks of Arkansas USA. Keep the monthly tour going! 😊🎶
looking at beautiful things in life -between you and the dahlias with the rock wall sets it off, makes a persons day!

Its a few months ago but well done getting the dream job...walled garden!

Wow, another great video, and congratulations on your new adventure looking forward to your videos. Again thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Your Dahlias don’t seem effected by slugs. They’re stunning. Good luck with your new amazing job.
Thank you Tracey. When I planted them out we had a long dry spell so I might have got lucky! They were rather big plants when I planted them out too so that they could withstand a nibble. 🐌
I’ll try again I think. Your flowers were just stunning.
Congratulations on your new job..you will be brilliant x
Congratulations on your new job. Gardening all day and getting paid for it! Lucky you!!
Good luck with your new job!
Marvellous diversity!
Thank you for the tour! Your Dalhias are exquisite! What a lovely garden! Gosh! I hope you like to eat squash! Congrats on the dream job!
Once more gardener and one less marketer that can’t be bad 👍
Congratulations on the job, by now you'll hopefully be stuck into it. Not far up the road from us and the opportunity sounds awesome. Get the right proper clothing and you'll be fine over winter. Happy Days :)
Hi. I love your videos! I find them educational, mood elevating, and very relaxing. I'd love to see a video where you focus on salad greens and the properties of each that you value (like taste, texture, nutrition, etc). Anyway, well done, thanks, and big CONGRATULATIONS!!! I think you made a great decision. 🙂
You landed your dream job, well done you 😁 I’m a big chilli grower and like making powders and sauces which preserve well for the winter ahead.
Well Done on getting a job you really want. Try not to reach the end of your life thinking "What if?" because there are no rehearsals, we only get one run through this play so you want to give it your best shot. Chillis - I dry mine slowly in the oven, crush them up and use them in curries etc. My wife and I have found Long Joe Cayenne to give the amount of heat we like so I grow those which makes the whole thing very easy. However, you can experiment with different chilli mixes until you find a blend you like and grow accordingly next year.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Congratulations on the new job. Have a lot of fun with it.
Your garden is wonderful, beautiful fruits and flowers, great!
Greetings Stefan
Your allotment is gorgeous!!!
I'm a bit late to the party but congratulations! The same sort of thing recently happened to me, scary but in a good way! I hope you're still there and enjoying life :)

I love making fermented hot sauce with my ghost peppers! I use peppers and onion to add sweetness. I don't have a recipe because I kind of wing it. You can get some simple instructions online. Yummy stuff! Your garden is very beautiful!

Hello very beautiful you have your garden and wonderful having hot pepper I love them very much I in Joe seeing your beautiful garden
Congratulations! How fabulous for you :)
Hi, This is the firs time that Have viewed on of your vids and it will NOT be the last. Great plot you have there and the very best to you in your new Job.I would imagine that every gardeners dream job. I make a chilli oil with some of my hot chillies, just use normal olive oil, cut the chillies into strips so that they go into top of bottle easy and just leave for a couple of days.
amazing news :) so cool. so very cool.
Looks brill and so happy for you in your new career. I’m going to be doing the same hopefully this b the next 12 months once my daughter is off to university. I’ll give my civil service job up and spend more time on my pro Trumpet/jazz career cheers for you vids 🍻
Congratulations
Love your plot and your Dahlias are gorgeous..I have fallen in love with Dahlias this year.Congratulation on the new job.What a great career move...will you be able to show us what your'e up to or will that be out of bounds to us?
Congrats on your new job.. having worked fair few years as a gardener some advice, I would invest in some insulated Wellington boots, decent pair of short waterproof (gortex type) boots, lots of gloves and some good waterproof trousers and jacket. Nothing worse than working in wet flower borders with no waterproofs! Lol..
Ohh I love your dahlia pale tones . I have loads about 30 plants but they are reds, oranges , strong colours 🙈 only one pink . Next year I want pale colour selection hehehe
Congrats on the big news ! Good luck Xxx
Your apples on the ground got me. I struggle so hard to keep squirrels from stealing my apples; every year I do a different netting system and
fail! But the apples on the ground would be great for a bunny if you had them for their manure. Only a thought. Have fun at your new job; I know you'll do great! Take care in these Covid times.
With my bonnet/hot chillis I just blend them up with vinegar salt and sugar and bottle in as chili sauce. I also pickle my Jalepenos in jars like the Old El Paso ones great with mexican food
Congratulations on your new job, definitely not an opportunity that comes along often, so one to grab. New subscriber here but thoroughly enjoyed that video. Good luck 👍🏼🙂
That's the face of instant regret of biting into a raw chilli :D i love these older videos :P
Thanks for watching them!
Congratulations on your new position. Great video. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work 👍 👍.
Great video again! And Congratulations! Very well done :-)
Congratulations on your new position. How do you feed your plants? They are growing beautifully. My yearly garden will never be the same after discovering your site. One could easily see how you love your plants by the way you handle them. Jim, TN, USA
Amazing news! That's fabulous for you! Will you be allowed to video what you are doing at work?
Fresh coriander, garlic, lemon juice, bunch of grapes,2 big fat red Moroccan chillis,salt,water ...liquidise it all together..chutney is made

you gonna have as much free time to garden with the new job? you're doing the right thing dear deer
cheerz
I saw a naughty young girl in the supermarket one day, who picked up fruit after fruit and took bites as she wandered through the aisles. The face when she picked up a hot chilli was very satisfying to watch!
I love you channel... I’m a new gardener so I’d like to no were you get all your experience for one so young ?? Like what kind of lovely veg to grow?. You have so much choice!! 👍🏻xx
Pinkfluffygirl1 thanks for subscribing to my channel! I’ve had my allotment for almost four years now. Before then I never had a garden to call my own, so this is where all my experience comes from! I started by growing the basics, potatoes, tomatoes and gradually added more and more foods that I like to eat as I cleared more space on my allotment. It’s only in the last year or so that I’ve been growing so many flowers as I do now!
Ah that's so good to hear.. I'm just on the basic veg as you said there's just so much to learn and I'm so excited about it! I have recently moved and we are lucky to have an acre plot also inherited a little greenhouse so I bought some small raised beds too !So wish me luck... I will continue to watch and learn your lovely channel.... I chuffed you replied 👩🌾🤗x
Indian chilly is very sweet u no that
Congratulations!! That is a dream job indeed!! Your plot is my favorite to watch on UA-cam btw. :-)
Congratulations. Carpe diem!
ده سته. كانت. خوش. Kurdstan
this popped up on my feed ... so there was a heatwave in 2018 too 😎😎
Gostei do vídeo, só não entendi porque ela tomou chá de saquinho se tem tanto espaço pra plantar ervas??
What are the white flowers on your steps please? :)
So good to see someone else who grows as many Tomatoes as me but also doesn't like them raw! Like you, I love them cooked into sauces / stews etc but I can't stand them raw - I was beginning to think I was a little bit strange!
meanwhile in avengers endgame the tomatoe plants saved captain america from falling into the dahlias. welldone allotment lady
Hi , by the tomatoes.. you have some plastic bottles .. what are their for?? Here from Spain. Thank you
Mónica D F heya! I like to water my plants using them. The bottle has lots of holes drilled into it so the water goes straight to the roots. This way I can measure how much I am watering and help prevent blight, a disease that thrives in warm and damp conditions.
♥️❤️♥️♥️❤️❤️
Drink milk or eat bread for hot chilis,not water. Your garden looks great!
Do you think they will let you make videos in the new job? Maybe a mutual benefit if they sell to the public or have a known brand name.
intermittent rainfall.....in a polytunnel?
You should create small videos around 10 min ✌️✌️
U don't seem to have a problem with snails or slugs I've planted seedlings and they're getting ate wats ur secret
Your very gorgeous. God bless u
