Amazing Allotment Transformation | No Dig | Spring Gardening
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Welcome back to another update from my no dig allotment! In this video, I'll take you through some recent activities on the plot, from cleaning the nature pond to planting out delicious veggies and flowers.
First off, I'll show you how I cleaned the nature pond of leaves, but here's the twist: I left the leaves on the side for a day or two, allowing bugs a chance to climb back into the pond. It's all about creating a balanced ecosystem! I also planted up the pond with some water forgetmenots and other pond plants.
In the metal raised beds, I'm excited to plant out oakleaf lettuce, a favourite in my household. Alongside, I'll be planting beetroot, parsnips, shallots, and sowing carrots directly into the no dig allotment. Plus, I'm prepping for the last frost by sowing more flowers, ready to bring colour and pollinators to the plot.
This year, I've opted for convenience and space-saving by planting potatoes in 30-litre buckets. I'll be growing Charlotte, Maris Piper, and Pink Fir Apple varieties, and I'll share some tips on successful bucket potato growing.
A special shoutout to Cheryl for her help, especially since I've been nursing a rib injury. Cheryl's been busy planting up spring bulbs into the flower beds, adding more beauty to the allotment.
But it's not just about plants; it's about wildlife too! I've installed a Robin nest box to encourage these delightful birds to make a home here. And I have plans to further enrich the ecosystem by adding a bat box to the bordering trees, inviting these nocturnal creatures to join us in the garden.

You know whats missing? A old metal garden chair to sit and breath. Those ones that kinda bounce and rock. Dont forget that the curiator needs a spot to rest and reflect. ❤
You are so right! Hopefully one day I'll get one haha! I'll look into it. Danny 🌱
Another frog breeder! When I was a child I used to breed frogs from the spawn. I've no idea why). I dropped a cube of raw stewing steak into the water to feed the tadpoles and loads of them would cluster round it to suck the juice. Don't presume they'll find something to eat in your pond. If you dont feed them they'll turn on each other. I ended up with hundreds of little frogs each season that I put on the banks of a stream. Happy gardening!
Haha oh really! Don't presume I don't feed them also 😜 I buy tadpole food for them 😃 thank you so much for watching! Hopefully plenty of frogs in summer 🐸
Love the hooks and pots on your bars in the poly 😁 great idea! Its so nice you have lots of friends around you to help you while you are recovering 😊 x
Aren't they handy! Thanks Gemma. Yes I'm very lucky to have people to help. Danny 🌱
Xin chào bạn yêu quý ,kinh nghiệm làm vườn của bạn rất tốt ,khu vườn đẹp tuyệt như trong truyện cổ tích ❤❤❤🤝.
Hi Danny, hope you've had a lovely weekend. Your reminder that it's in not to be as ready as you all are is just what I needed to hear.
I am feeling really daunted now. And am not ready. Thanks for the reminder.
Jane
Oh I'm glad that helped. Yes there's really no rush. Just enjoy gardening ☺️🌱
Me too! I had a decent day today after weeks of rain, and managed to fill two raised containers with compost, and sow lettuce and parsley into trays on my window will. I am in Scotland so I know we have a bit more time but I was still fretting until I watched this video.
I'm glad it helped. Nothing worse than sowing anxiety! I have it now as I have forgotten some seeds to plant.
Hi Danny, so glad to hear that your feeling a bit better. Don't you go over doing it though. Fingers crossed your on the mend quickly. Good to see you looking all upbeat about spring. You are very lucky to have lovely friend helping you out. Big shout out them for being so lovely 😍and keeping an eye on you. Take care for now Danny
Thank you Michelle 😊 yeah I'm still sore but reminded to take my time haha. Thank you. Danny 🌱
Hi Danny, good hack with the elastic. I may think about that for my beds. I'm so pleased you are feeling better, nothing worse than being unable to move freely. Your plot are looking lovely, lots of seedlings growing and looking really healthy too. Great video update with lots of useful advice too! Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Hey Christine. Yes, use the hack! Thank you very much. Take care. ☺️
Danny so glad the pain meds are working better x. You did make me laugh ,the bit about you are trying your hardest not to get tempted at the garden centre ,and asked us if we are doing the same , and you knew we wasn`t either x
Haha, thanks, Tara! Yes, I knew the answer, haha. I went today and spent way too much 🤦♂️😂 Danny 🌱
That`s the Danny we have come to love ,enjoy x@@TheGrowUpChannel
Wow Danny! It looks so good and it's so good to see you smiling!
Thank you hun! Hope you are well. Danny 🌱
Hi Danny, your garden looks amazing now and all the goodies ( seedlings) in the tunnel, brilliant.
Thank goodness for friends, who are there when you need them.
Hope you are well again very soon because from now on it will be go go go.😂
Thank you so much. It's been an adventure! I am on the mend now. Thankfully. Take care. Danny 🌱
So good to see you doing much better and smiling again Danny!😊
Thank you. Im feeling better day by day☺️ happy growing 🌱 Danny
The IBC tank is ideal for some carrots in planters and I'd put some perennials in the corner maybe some Artichokes or Sunchokes and add some colours.
I've grown on my ibc previously. Worked great. Except for when I had to harvest them haha there's a glove artichoke already planted below the ibc actually ha! 'Sunchokes' I always grow in a 30 litre bucket. Haha.
Hi Danny, thanks for another lovely video.
That robin ornament is so pretty, and looks perfect on top of your arch.
The wildlife pond is looking good and sounds as if it's going to even more so with all your plans.
Have you ever tried beetroot cake? OMG it is gorgeous, you really ought to try it. Who knows, you might be planting more beetroot next year 😂
Good to see your health improving each week, and that your fellow allotmenteers are all mucking in and helping you. It is what being part of a community is all about.
Have a great week ahead xx
Hey Jean..thank you. Yes the Robin is beautiful. I've had beetroot and chocolate cake. It's called a red devil cake. It's beautiful! Yes totally agree. It's what a good community does when someone needs help. Thanks for watching. Danny 🌱
I've got a splinter in my little finger so can you send Linda, Cheryl, Lisa and Olly over to me now please 🤣🤣I'll buy a packet of Tesco Rich Tea biscuits for them.
Make sure you put a big thick mattress under the ladder for when you fall off putting the bat box up!
😂😂😂😂😂 you are never normal. 😂
@@TheGrowUpChannel Define normal 🤣🤣
@DigwellGreenfingers basically thr opposite to you 😂
@@TheGrowUpChannel As my Tee shirt says, "Normal people scare me!" I get some -weird- weirder looks wearing that one.
That was a nice update. Thank you for sharing the progress. I love those willow wig wams. I'm doing a bit of a pond make over this year when the weather starts to co-operate, and I'm going to blame you for it, lol. I'm adding a 'beach' area for the animals and creatures to have better access. I've got lots of rocks, and plants around the edging, but I think the change will look good.
Ahh thank you! It was a bit of a long one! Amazing news about the pond ! I want before and after pics please haha! Good luck with it. Im going to do a dedicated on ponds at some stage. Probably when I need to do a pond water change etc.. we shall see :)
I like the longer videos. Means I don't have to look for the next thing to watch. I'll definitely be taking a few pictures when I get on with the pond .
Allotment looks great. Am thinking of doing a small pond in my garden. Great idea for wildlife.
Oh do it! I'd highly recommend 🌱🐸
Danny this was just amazing, I just love how all your ideas have come together and you have created such a beautiful environment. Such great friends to help you as well! All the best with ur recovery ❤️🩹
Aww thanks mate. Yes it's definitely coming together now. Looking forward to meeting up in malvern. Danny 🌱
Aw lovely that so many people mucked in to help. I need to clean up my pond. It's on the list! A long, long list ... 👀 Your plot looks great - exciting season ahead.
I know what you're implying 😂😂 "oooh look at Lucky Danny getting help from plot neighbours. Well well well " 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi Danny! I was so happy to see how well surrounded you have been and getting such wonderful help from all your plot neighbours and friends! It shows what a special person you are as everyone is there for you when you need it! That little Robin on your arch is so precious! Your plot is looking amazing and so is your pond. I am so glad the water lily is coming back! I love to see how you tenderly care for the wildlife on your plot with all the different little wooden houses and the feeders. The banana tree seems to be looking healthy after a very wet winter. I cannot wait to see his majestic leaves overlooking your plot. What a great idea the elastic holding the nets around the beds, I might have to do the same on our beds!!! So glad your pain med are working better for you! The doors are such a good find, they will look good on your future shed! Using the little pots in the polytunnel is again a great idea! Hope you will like the blue potatoes! 🤞🤞I love foxgloves and ferns, we have a lot of them in our home garden, they will look great! Always love to hear all your future plans! 😘🌸💕💕
Thank you Nanou! And thank you for all your support. Yes I am very lucky to have friends wanting to help. I'm sire ill love the blue potatoes. Yes I do love a foxglove and fern. Take care. Danny 🌱
It’s all getting very exciting now mate. Looking good at the plot with the arches going into banana bed just be mindful the banana don’t get torn up if we have winds. Just something to think about. U didn’t get spawn in the pond because they don’t like moving water when spawning so next year turn the pump off through spring
Yeah I weirdly filmed that yesterday saying its not a good idea due to the leaves haha! Pond pump was only put on this week. Didn't have it on all early spring..just didn't like the pond 😂😂 I think it might be too cold for them. Not direct sun.
Well now Danny I’ve really enjoyed this one. Love seeing all the little areas you’re setting up for wildlife. Great hack with the elastic as well. That space between your greenhouse and shed - could you pop in a couple of fruit trees? Even if they were in pots it would be a lovely mini orchard. As for the beetroot- eat the leaves! They’re delicious quickly stir fried with garlic and butter. And of course I have pond envy - it’s settling in beautifully now and will only get better. Well done!
Why thanks Jane Kelly! The wildlife are certainly taking over and I'm happy about it haha I have decided the area next to the shed this year will be for potatoes I think... but it's an option. Beetroot leaves..now that's an idea!!! Thanks Jane. Danny 🌱
Hi Danny xx everything is looking good xx the little birds xxxx keep well and take your time xxx🌽🌽🌽🌽🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Thank you susan☺️🌱
Great update Danny, you have so much growing already, your plot is looking great with all the spring bulbs and you have asparagus already, amazing 😻 Take care and rest those ribs! 😊
Thank you Bethan. Yes it's all coming into flower now. I can't wait! Danny 🌱
🐝Thanks for the great video🌻 OW yessss please a water feature around the complete plot!!! Just need some rubber duckies floating in it 🐤
Haha wouldn't it be grand to have a lovely stream..its a plan I'm looking into. Danny 🌱
Looks great Danny, love the pond. Hope you're back to full strength soon. X
Thank-you! I hope so too! There's just too much to do and I need to be well enough to do the jobs. Danny 🌱
You definitely have a smile back.
LOL I'm trying my hardest.
Keep smiling, Robin! 😃 we have a lot to smile about. Spring is here! Danny 🌱
looking and sounding much better there Danny , Im glad your meds are working for you , your plot looks great ..exciting times at the allotments , Im in my 1st spring at mine and looking forward to more sowing and planting
Thank you Lorraine, I am on the mend for sure. Still sore and have to pace myself.. but keeping active is also important with ribs. Goodluck with your first spring! You'll have successes and failures for sure! But embrace the successes and learn from the failures for the following year. Believe me.. it happens to us all. Every year. Danny 🌱
Thank you for your reply and your encouragement lovely x@@TheGrowUpChannel
Hope you make a full recovery Danny. So annoying when your own health holds you back.
How about some outdoor cupboards to hold your pots, trays and bits and bobs. Will free up your shed and polytunnel a bit more.
Wouldn’t mind seeing your Grapevine plot occasionally as well.
Thank you. Yes I get good and bad days.. boy do I know it when I've pushed myself too much. Don't I always! I never learn lol. Outdoor cupboards would be great! I do have plans.... Once I am well. The grapevine was mid project and was hoping 2 weeks ago to have finished that and showed you all. I've still got it and it's going well. I just need to be fully ment before I can finish it. Danny 🌱
Hi Danny glad to no you are feeling a little better and still in the garden 🪴 ❤❤❤
Thank you. Yes slowly getting better. Taking my time with jobs that I'd usually whirl around and get done in half the time. But never mind. ☺️🌱
Hi Danny lovely to see you on the plot again it’s all looking amazing. We not allowed ponds cos of health and safety but we had a deep hole or pit we had to dig out years ago as the plots flood. It’s overflow so we kind of made a little pond as there water there. We have a cage round it. But little animals can get underneath like mice and rats.
I remember you saying mandy. That's why my ponds at back of the plot. ☺️it certainly is a luxury. Danny 🌱
Plots looking good. Pleased to see you are on the mend.😊
Thank you. I'm slowly on the mend. Still can do too much as I risk setting myself back. But onwards and upwards. Danny 🌱
So good to see you on the mend 🥰. Your plot is looking so good 😁👍.
Thanks Debz! I need to slow down haha. Danny 🌱
Good to see that you are recovering, slowly but.... and you get/receive help when you need it.
Just getting to the plot/outdoor can be healing. Take care ☕🌱🌷
Nice "new" doors🚪🚪!
Absolutely. I've been told off about 100 times by the plot ladies haha. They've looked after me well! Including cake! The plot is definitely my medicine. Doors were a great find. Can't wait to build the new potting area ... to be continued...
Another great video thank you Danny
Thanks Val! Really appreciate it ☺️🌱
It all looks so immaculate for an allotment you must be very pleased. We have tons to do but we need a new delivery of woodchip for our paths. We have quite a few weeds growing now as I havnt been able to go for a while. I have seeds growing and my early spuds are in and my alderman peas. But I need to sow carrots and parsnips but I am at my daughters helping her as she had Achilles tendinitis so I have to take my grandaughter too and from school till they break up for Easter this coming Thursday. So hopefully I will get home to sow the seeds over easter
Why thanks mandy..oh I wouldn't sag immaculate. There's still plenty to do I promise you! Oh it sounds like you have some jobs to tick off too. Haven't we all haha..just enjoy it..Danny ☺️🌱
So much for one vid Danny i cant keep up 😂 I've had a stressful week mrs giant Bee got in to all sorts of trouble I had to help with (its got wings im scared) slugs have made an army and mr toad has left me, two robins (wings) are being super cute tho they come for a bath in the pind begore bed ❤️ fab vlog Danny 🥰
I know it was an eventful week haha! Oh dear you've had some dramas yourself. Here comes spring though! Danny 🌱
You have done a beautiful job transforming that plot! Glad you are feeling better and that you have such lovely friends to help you.
Thank you so much! It's been an adventure for sure! And no doubt through the seasons, I'll change and upgrade things. I'm very grateful for my plot friends who made the additional planting possible. Danny 🌱
So glad you are feeling better. You have friends who love you. Things look so nice.
Thank you Rebecca. I'm very lucky! I'm slowly on the mend for sure. Danny 🌱
Hi, Danny! I just subscribed. I saw Gardener Scott's Live with you this morning. He is a great Monday morning habit to have! You have wonderful plants and that poly tunnel is a great idea especially since you actually get winters there! I live in Texas and our big issue is summer heat and drought. It really discourages many new gardeners in this area. I started as you suggested, by growing at home and also learning in community gardens here. I have a small 4 foot by 12 foot raised bed at the community garden but I also volunteer there growing with a small Donation team in several plots for summer and fall produce. We do have some spring crops we sowed in the fall such as carrots and some lettuces. I planted two asparagus beds at my home garden in the back yard. But one might be too shady (I hope not!) If it is I might have to dig some up and refigure where it is sunnier! Oh, well! Live and learn and keep gardening!
Hello thanks for popping by! Yes he's a great guy! It sounds like you're on the right track and good for you for volunteering! Yes we certainly do have winters, not always snowy though. But sometimes it does. Thank you again for subscribing and goodluck with your growing! I look forward to hearing off you again. Danny 🌱
ooh I potted on my first little gems into the poly, just got to keep an eye on slugs on them!
glad you’re on the mend! my cold turned cough has got me down as bad rib pain now which has been putting my gardening work on hold for the last month! still got to thin out my raspberries and prune! weeding was done at the weekend but a week off and think its gonna be raining most of this week! plots are looking good!
Thank you. Ah no way. Get well soon! I'm sure the gardening will wait for you ☺️🌱
Hi new subbie from Barbados, wish I had your allotment the best I have seen so far. I just love tje layout with all the secret areas and pond.
Hello Sonia! Welcome aboard! Thank you so much. I wanted to create a place where I can hide away at the back with a coffee If I wanted haha. It's a beautiful space. Lots of hard work though! Danny 🌱
Khu vườn quá hộ hoàn hảo 👍👍👍.
Glad you are healing! The plot looked good to begin with but it's a nice refresh! Hope your sweet peas do well with the fleece. I had planned to sow mine this week but I think it will be too cold still... so I've decided to wait til after Easter 😭 we'll have warmer temperatures in April.
Thank-you! Oh it was so dark before. The surrounding hedges were 12ft high and the soil hadn't seen daylight for years so it was very damp. Not to mention the mole issues haha. I'd suggest sowing them indoors. To get you ahead of the game ☺️🌱
Take it easy until your ribs are mended,, I've started absolutely nothing as we are on holiday in Australia until mid April,, then it will be a manic sowing and growing session for the rest of the month,, but no worries as everything will catch up,,
You are so right. I'm really sore today.. so a lesson learnt. Oh wow have a great time in oz! Yes it'll all catch up when you get back. If not. Get to the garden centre for some plants. Danny 🌱
Good to see you're on the mend
Thank you ☺️ takes 6-8 weeks but I'm on the mend for sure. Danny 🌱
Thanks Danny! Blessing.. 😊
Same to you! Danny 🌱
Looking on the up mate good to see, I've told Jamie her answer when being offered anything this year is ask James haha she took 20 cabbages last year and planted them in one day would be great if any of us ate it! 😂
😂😂😂 oh i love cabbages! But I know what you mean lol
love your quirky plot and plan x
Why Thank you! Haha
I'm sure you have huge plans, you always do 😂 I'm so looking forward to seeing. 😁❤️😊
Haha done I always Jean. You know me too well 😂😂 Danny 🌱
@@TheGrowUpChannel don't change, you're a breath of fresh air..x
@jeanhelliwell8160 thank you Jean 🌱😊
The elastic is far better with nets as in my case the wind just blows the clips off. I stapled velcro to keep it in place and I find the copper tape can help reduce the slugs from crawling under the nets.
Yeah they are working a treat. Great tip with the velcro. I luckily don't have much slug damage..thankfully ☺️🌱
@@TheGrowUpChannel This is by far my worst winter for slug damage and even my garlic is getting mauled.
Great video danny love all of your wildlife areas its so important to look after the wildlife. I picked up some weird looking courgette seeds yesterday even though I had already sown mine 😂.
Thanks Lisa! Well I have some weird courgette seeds you can try too haha

I saw your live video with Gardner Scott. I have an allotment in Japan. Haven't uploaded for a few months but will make more videos soon. Please look if you have time.
Hello! You're very welcome and thanks for subscribing. I have just subscribed back! Danny 🌱
Danny - just watched you with Gardener Scott. Had to visit and sub to your channel. Looking forward to watching your videos and seeing all that you've done in your garden.
Hello and welcome! Thank you so much! ☺️ Danny 🌱
Hi Danny, glad you are moving a lot better now and also got all that help.
You've got so much growing and sown already have you not ran out of seeds yet?
Thanks Ady! Yes very lucky to have helpers this week haha. I wish I had ran out of seeds. It would make me stop 🙈😂😂😂
Saw your programme tonight and really enjoyed it, so I have subscribed. Where are you filming from? It looks lovely. Here in Western Canada it is snowing and the creek is still iced over, but I heard geese and saw a small "Vee" of seven fly overhead yesterday, so Spring isn't too far away. I am eagerly awaiting late April/May when I hope to be able to get back in my garden again. Looking forward to your next programme, how often do you post?
Hello Elizabeth! Why thank you for subscribing. I am in South Wales. UK.. it won't be long before you're out gardening for sure! I always post on a Sunday. Then through spring and summer a Wednesday too ❤️ they Wednesday videos will start soon, once my meds exams are over. I'm so pleased you enjoyed my video. There's plenty for you to watch. My channels over 2 years old now ❤️🌱 thank you again for subscribing..Danny 🌱
What about a large long coldframe along by the polytunnel Danny .Great for trays of seedings for things that hate the polytunnel heat like brassicas and potted on plants .I couldn't manage without my homemade cold frame ,it's already filling up .
Hey susie.. that was the actual plan however I over- ordered on spring and summer Bulbs again haha oops. So another garden bed was made. But in time a large coldframe will need to be built. Danny 🌱
I just got another FOOT of snow where I live. I'm so over winter. I have to watch you and your beautiful plot to make me feel better.
Omg no way !!! Usually I'd be jealous but I'm so over snow now.. bring on spring! Hope it melts soon :)
YAY I HAD A MENTION YOU HAVENT FORGOT ME XXXX
How could anyone possibly forget you after they've met you haha ❤️❤️
Danny. Be careful now the pain is better controlled that you inadvertently do not overdo things. Slowly slowly does it. From this old retired nurse in TAS.
Everything is looking so full of life in your plot and to hear your friends are helping is great.
Take care. Autumn has arrived here and rather cold after Borneo so full of envy you’re heading into spring. Bye for now
You are so right.. I slowed down the pain relief, and boy did I feel it.. it was a sharp reminder that I'm doing too much. Danny 🌱

So glad to see you feeling better. Good to see you smiling more!! Great hack with the elastic. Your polytunnel is just bursting with green sprouting! Two of my three infrastructure projects are done. New compost bins and new rose garden. Next up is building a covered deck on my SheShed/Greenhouse. Loved this video, Danny,
Why thank you ! The elastic is genius! I hope it does me proud! The polytunnel is going to explode within weeks. My favourite time is climbing into a jungle of seedlings. That's good you've got 2/3 of your structures done. I have loads of heavy duty jobs to do.. but they can wait I guess. Let's mend these ribs. I enjoyed making this one. Have a lovely day! Danny 🌱
Once you start growing your wild garlic in pots... does that make it domesticated garlic ;) Glad to hear you are feeling better. I'm really looking forward to my garden going dormant now as I want to get out and make a bunch of changes so next season will be even better... love your gardens... very inspirational.

Never move frogspawn unless it's in immediate danger. There's a thousand reasons not to, but it can spread disease and infestations, plus you could be moving it from a viable pond to an unviable pond. If there's none in your pond, then there's reasons why not.
Thank you. Both ponds are mine. The tadpoles are thriving well..its a matured pond..Water was tested in both. I've since had a frog lay spawn in the pond too. I only removed the spawn from other pond as its a tiny pond. The nutrient in the pond isn't enough to feed all.the spawn so they'd gave perished if left. Danny 🌱
Ponds on allotment plots is a bad idea, they attract rats
I live in a rural area. You can't stop rats where I am sadly. Never caught a rat on the nature camera in 2 years ☺️
Elastic around beds! A great idea! I’ll be trying in on mine - thanks :) Hope you’re on the mend.
Give it a go! It's working great for me. Well i thought i was.. then the last day or so ive been sore again.. so i think i need to slow down a little. Danny 🌱
