In todays episode, me and cheryl, a fellow plot holder and friend plant out the dahlias, echinacea’s and gladiolas from @farmergracy8901 , We also planted all the other summer plants. I collected some bark from the allotment dump area. The local tree surgeons leave it for us for free! we are so lucky! I created some more paths and planted up all the hostas. I purchased some ornamental grasses and ferns for around the nature pond. The gardens are needing to be watered twice a day at the moment due to the baking sun! The polytunnel is slowly emptying and will soon be fully planted up with tomatoes. I’ve decided to plant the Roma tomatoes outside this year. It will soon be time to harvest the over wintering onions. A lot have bolted this year, which was such a shame! It will also be time to harvest the garlic on both gardens. This will give more space for the courgettes , squashes and pumpkins. I added a sail to the growing space to shade myself when the sun is beating down on the garden. The fig and olive plot is almost finished and i am so proud of how its transformed from an overgrown, shady and unloved area to a jungle of flowers and food!

Looking great, and so good to get those first spuds out the ground. BTW, any update on Malcolm and his plot? Missing his vids. I think it's time for you to go on a roadtrip 😉😁
Great work Danny, looking fantastic 👍👍
Wow you’ve worked so hard! What a transformation! And all the Danny touches are going which makes it full of personality and so unique. Fantastic work I bet all your plot neighbours are glad they’ve got you alongside 🌸🌺🍇🥕
Boom 💥 Is there an open plot scheme like the open gardens ? Yours would definitely
be worth a visit. 🌱🌱
Great looking harvest!
Very impressed with you getting potatoes this early in the season. Top job👍
Nice tour Danny 👌 the potatoes look fantastic mate so is the pond. Ahh the harvests begin for all our efforts Alan
Love your pond Danny 😍♥️
Your plot is looking lovely. Do you by chance have any news on Malcom kingswell and mrs k, Thank you.
Wowee, all you hard work is paying off Danny, the plot looks amazing! The pond is gorgeous already, it will be glorious when all the planting gets more established. 🌱🌿
Muy buen dia
Your plot just gets better and better, wish I were your plot neighbour, so beautiful to look at.
Wow indeed – you're going to love sitting near the pond and watching things dip in and out, as long as you don't keep getting squirted by the fountain! Looking forward to seeing everything in full bloom. Well done!
Danny, you've turned an almost empty allotment into a food filled, peaceful oasis! (and I love it) well done, you work hard and its paying off xx
What a beautiful plot. Danny, I'm so happy for you. Nice potatoes! And those strawberries…delicious looking. Now is when all our hard work begins to pay off. Hard work…lol I live for it. Nothing is better than being outdoors and gardening. I really lose myself into another world and all my worries just disappear.🌱🌤🌦🌈❤
All that graft is paying off so we'll done Danny👍.the hot weather has used up all my water and I wonder if this keeps up all summer as another h9se pipe ban won't be far away.
Great update Dannyl
Your plot looks amazing, potatoes & strawberries, I’m so jealous, your pond is looking good too 👍
Wow wow wow, Danny the plot really has come on leaps and bounds, well done to you, it’s fantastic
Wow Danny!
Here was me celebrating the emergence of my first courgette of the year! Barely an inch long and the girth of a pencil and there you are, harvesting potatoes and strawberries already!!!🥔🍓😊
Well the gauntlet is down buddy!!!!
Take care, Annie 🐞 🐝 🌱
Cant wait for my first salad off you Danny xx
I LOVE the pond!!!! And harvesting strawberries and potatoes shows off your hard work xx
Your plot is looking really great Danny, that pond looks like it's always been there. We had our first strawberries this week too, my daughter loves them. Potatoes looked great too. Take care 😊
It must cost a small fortune for all those plants. Well worth it❤
ohhhh lookin fab loving the pond and potterage garden not heard that term before but i had the idea last night to get rid of my ugly square tempo bed that's been temp for far too long and gonna do similar to yours with a sweeping curved path and mix of pretty things and edibles its like you just had the same dream as me ,spooky lol
Thanks for sharing your harvest!! I started harvesting peas and they are so delicious!!
Hi Danny, your pond looks lovely, great vudro update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Gorgeous potatoes and strawberries! Love your pond, such a restful area, great choice of plants! All the flowers by the poly tunnel are going to look beautiful! The plot is looking amazing after all your hard work! You are an inspiration! 😄👍💕
Wow Danny what a lovely plot you are planting and growing I really love it. You have great ideas 👍🙋🏻
Fantastic new spuds you don’t want big new spuds do you. We had our first harvest of rocket on 30 th may for my daughters bday lunch but normally we would harvest first week of June and they were planted Mother’s Day. 👍🙋🏻
A credit to your hard work Danny and the potato reveal was awesome. Thinking of doing some strawberries in containers in the polytunnel myself now seeing the results you have had.
♻️Happy gardening, Terry King.
its amazing the difference made! I planted out 5 echinacea plants and in a week the rabbits have got at 2 – so gutted! pond looks cool!
I must harvest up my potatoes as a few have gone very yellow foliage! storage tips needed to stop them sprouting!
bark areas look very good!
