Well done Dora. You made great progress with just 1 pair of hands 😊. Time consuming but straightforward. Will be interested to see what you plant in them. Thanks for sharing your experiences like this. Merry Christmas 😊
Lovely job Dora the raised beds look really great . Choose your final location wisely as there's no second chance once they're filled. If you've any of that manure left from previous vlogs it would be ideal for the first 30% or so to fill in the voids between the sticks etc .. Merry Christmas and thanks for all the entertainment though the year .
Thank you George, I’m pleased you’ve enjoyed the allotment journey so far this year - thanks for joining! You’re right… I am worried that the manure isn’t going to go as far as I originally thought 🙃
Hi Dora enjoyed this one you should have had me round ive fitted a few of these 😃 great piece of Kit what i found with my leeks was a tip from a fellow allotmeteer i planted carrots and onions close by and it deters the bugs although i sacrificed all my carrots as they were a disaster have a wonderful chrismas and a bountiful new year 🎄🎄🎄
We had high winds with torrential rains yesterday and the wind took out half a pine tree. To be fair the truck was a bit rotten so it was bound to happen. 😢 yes most likely leaf miner and they can overwinter in the soil so hopefully you get some snow to kill off grubs. It’s always something 🤦♀️ eating our veg. Excellent job on the raised beds Dora 💪. Have a very Merry Christmas to you and family, stay safe, Ali 🧑🎄🎄🇨🇦
Oh wow!! Hope everything was ok post tree fall?! Cheeky things - I’m hoping for the show indeed 🥶 Isn’t there just! Thanks Ali. Have a wonderful festive period too and a happy new year 🎄🌲🎄
Lovely vlog this week Dora , look forward to seeing how well thing grow in the new metal beds. Take your time and make sure you get them in the perfect place . Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy gardening into the new year ❤
Love the Black Lab trying to help ... or was he saying "why are you bothering with that when we can be enjoying a fun walk somewhere ?" ... but you did a great job with that assembly 🙂👍
I think you’re bang on there, definitely what he was thinking! Thank you David 😃 got there eventually and looking forward to heading back to position and fill it
The metal raised bed looks really good , Dora. It looks relatively straight forward to assemble too. That would suit me as my DIY skills are practically non existent ! Thanks for posting.
It was once I got into the swing of it, it’s just a bit of a game of patience with all of the screws… but it’s a mindful activity! Haha snap 😃 Thanks for watching Robin, happy gardening 🌲
I always cover my leeks in enviromesh .Ive found that it's better to grow Leeks in spring and harvest October and freeze .I have six large bags in the freezer .Yes it's leaf miner Dora and no I wouldn't add those to my compost .
@doras.allotment Around June or July .Normally ready in October 🙂I plant celery and leeks together and harvest and freeze in October .Seems to work well Dora.

Very nice video I am waiting for your video. You have a lot of knowledge about agriculture. I am getting guidance from your video.
I always cover my leeks in enviromesh .Ive found that it's better to grow Leeks in spring and harvest October and freeze .I have six large bags in the freezer .Yes it's leaf miner Dora and no I wouldn't add those to my compost .
I think I’ll be following that for next year! When do you usually plant your leeks out Susie?

looking top it is! 👍
Thank you!!
Love the raised beds, tempted to have a go, but James warns that I won’t look after them!
Great Henry cameo too 😊
You should!! We can do some grow alongs 😋
😂
If they could only be tougt to help dig up weeds or something 🐾
100% 😂
Nice!! Curiosity: Are more comfortable and warm rubber boots insulated with neoprene or rubber boots insulated with wool?
They’re the Neoprene lined boots 😊
