So many plants already <3 yheaa lets grow
Hi linda what guttering have you got on the polytunnel? i have been looking for something for mine but as it was only built last year i have been reluctant to use the guttering i have seen some people use
Yay another Linda visit.
Very nice to watch
It is on my list to plant some strawberry babies in baskets Linda, I potted them up as runners some time ago. Mine will be hanging outside but I may try to sneak a couple into the conservatory. I enjoyed your video, what a clever idea to catch more water.
Hi what size is your polytunnel? Hoping to get a decent polytunnel for my new allotment
Yeah for early strawberries 🍓, definitely need some dry weather Linda 🤞, Ali ☔️☔️🇨🇦
Your seedlings are brilliant very healthy looking
Great update as usual Linda , i paticularly loved the strawberries as i need to get mine sorted too , very informative and helpful xx
That reminds me to pot up my strawberries in my baskets lind. Ive added to the huge list haha! Great idea with the ibc! Your seedlings look lovely. Cant wait to plant them 😂😂❤ Danny 🌱
❤
Do u grow ya cauliflower seedlings in the poly tunnel? If so could I do them in greenhouse
🥰
Excellent rain catching system
The plants in your polytunnel look so great
Excellent ideas on the water funnel Linda. I didn't think I could fill an ibc without guttering off a shed or greenhouse. I might try get one while it's raining so heavy in S Wales. Thanks for the tip x
Hey new subscriber here.. just found your channel and I'm really loving the vibes!!! I think it's going to be a bad year for slugs this year, so it's good you're getting prepared! With the mild/wet weather we've had, there's going to be 1000s of them coming for our veggies once growing season begins! If you're looking for a bit of positivity in the midst of this non-stop rain, I posted a video on my channel yesterday of a beautiful stroll through a village famous for it's snowdrops, there are literally thousands of them…💗
You’re streets ahead! 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Linda
Your seeds look really healthy. I agree that the slugs and snails are queueing up for them😅
They used to say about the rain "Lovely weather for ducks",but you know different.
Enjoy your week. Happy plotting 😂❤❤❤💚💚
Love the idea of the hanging baskets for the strawberries 🙂
Plenty of jobs done, Well done
Loads of great tips on this Linda. Practical ideas for all gardeners great video
Hi Linda, great job putting strawberries into hanging baskets and covering your water tank too. Your broccoli and cauli plants are looking very healthy. A lovely update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Such good advice to check your pots for 🐌!!!! I always forget!😂
Hi do you always net your strawberries or birds leave the alone ? Ty
❤ once you have strawberries it makes no sense buying more as they send out runners so easily.
