hi folks and welcome back to the plot for a pretty disappointing plot update You Take Your Eye Off the ball for one second it’s all it takes one little moment it feels like you walk away it’s not good it’s not good so today we’re going to going to do a bit of a tour and I’m going to do a little bit of Deep Breath Right little Todo list and we’re going to keep moving we’re going to be positive we’re it’s really not good it’s not good it could be so much worse it could be so much worse just keep telling yourself that keep reminding yourself so um so where are we at right we have just got back from holiday well not just got back uh we got back on Saturday today is Wednesday Sunday I came up to the alotment after a lovely lovely holiday a week away in Italy absolutely wonderful but I was quite nervous about the plot now I was quite lucky very fortunate that my parents offered to do a bit of watering and keep on top of things which was wonderful and they did a great job I have to say we’ve just had some terrible luck and Sunday I came up and you know when you’re just like oh bloody hell oh bloody hell it just took the wind out of my sails you know we’ll we’ll look around but lots of things just slugged lots of things dug up by the wildlife Birds foxes that kind of thing just had to pop you down I’m out of practice my arms hurting already and the other thing and you know I really like I promised myself not going to focus on it this year not going to talk about it too much but it’s hay fever for those of you who are new to the channel who don’t know every year in summer I have awful terrible hay fever it’s really really bad um I had some like allergy tests done a little while back a few years back and it was just off the chart reaction so nothing I’ve tried it all honey even like herbal medicine Homeopathy not sort of stuff I’m normally into that on top of every prescription drug that you can take and it has very limited Effectiveness I was on some new stuff this year and so far today it’s pretty much made it manageable so I have not spoken about hey once yet this season I was determined not just not I wasn’t going to let it get to me this year I was really like you know mind over matter I was just going to power on not worry about hey fever but wow start of June ever since the start of June it has been awful today is one of the first days that I’ve been like pretty all right it’s why I’ve I was like as soon as I was wake up this morning not too bad you know I didn’t feel like I’ve been punched in the face by a flower and I could open my eyes I was right right we’re going to do a video today so I can do the update but it does mean that June is kind of a right off last year it was really bad and I was trying to do too way too much last year this year I’ve been bit more like forward loading got everything ready a little bit earlier trying to get it done and done it’s one of the reasons I wanted to get loads of stuff done before I went on holiday and why I was so proud of myself for um getting all those videos ready but um even on on holiday in Italy the hay fever was really quite bad I had like a full-on attack in the airport it’s just terrible like really really annoying that combined with coming to the plot it just really sapped me and you know since Monday it’s just been work there’s so much work to catch up on with the day job and it’s just been like you know what we’ll we’ll we’ll get we’ll get to the alotment at some point I’m hoping this weekend the pollen isn’t going to be too bad and I can like get on top of things but for me the channel is going to slow down the allotment is going to slow down it has to be because I basically can’t leave the house it is completely and utterly depressing it’s really demoralizing and I feel so negative when I talk about it and it’s one of the reasons that I don’t I didn’t want to talk about it too much this season so that’s still going to be my sort of resolution I like the channel to be a bit positive you know it’s all very honest it’s it’s going to be very honest I’m going to show you a lot of horrible stuff um but I still I always wanted it to be a positive thing overall I like it to feel like a positive Channel because you know I do enough maning and moaning off camera if I’ve got a camera out and I’m going through the trouble of making a video about you know the joy of gardening and Sharing The Wonder of allotments or the experience the ups and the downs I don’t want to be like moaning and Ming and moaning all of the time so that is what I will say about hay fever let me pick up the camera we’re going to around see how it’s all looking I don’t want to I don’t want to show you okay so rambling over let’s kick off the tour with a very good news a very pie a bit bit of positive news to start and that is the the main two crops the Chili’s and the tomatoes are fine all of the chilies down here looking really healthy they’ve started to put on some good good growth they’ve not grown much height but they have got really thick bushy they’ve gone a bit darker perfect just what you want to see and the tomatoes in the poly tunnel I planted out all in the ground they have started rocketing away so that big relief very big relief but the stuff that’s gone sideways this stuff I wasn’t necessarily expecting we don’t actually have too much in the greenhouse for now it’s these kind of compost trial tests trays that I’ve left this Brassica tray has been a bit weird we’ve got some stuff popping up what are you we’ve got some spigarello some cabbage that’s a volunteer tomorrow naughty you’re not meant to be in there so some cabbage well these are red cabbage that have come up no purple spring broccol what’s going on with this seed maybe the seed’s a bit dodgy I know very spotty germination on there but I’ve I’ve not been monitoring it so it could have dried out it could have got too wet something like that very good news up here these very slow squash and corett and cucumbers and that kind of thing they have started germinating very very pleased I was very very worried about these they took a while we’ve got a butter book Bush cette butternut squash an AA corette very good honey nut spaghetti squash stuff just coming up Marina DEA one just up there very very positive oh that’s a timer that I’ve set because I’m filling up the water butts with those I didn’t want to forget it’s nearly nearly there just pop that over into that one let me just show you this it’s quite exciting so scallywag Peppers looking really healthy absolutely Laden with these gorgeous little purple flowers they seem to be quite closed up they don’t seem to open up fully which is quite sweet but back here Beaver Dam look at this thick foliage and we’ve got our first little rening pepper oh look at that beauty very good too early really too early that’s just as a result of me not taking off flowers and being particularly kind of attentive this pepper juw actually looks oh about 20 times healthier than when I left it looking really good was a little bit dry the peppers were do a dry no they weren’t they were do a water and that is because like I said I’ve not been up since Sunday so a lot of stuff was looking a bit dry and um it’s difficult isn’t it when you get that little knock to your confidence Monday after work Tuesday after work a couldn’t couldn’t quite face it but we’re here today we’re getting there some good news in the Brassica bed not too much slug damage now I have taken some solace in the the fact that this has been a bit of a crap year for pretty much everyone it’s one of the few times that I’ve been able to go on Instagram and not been really upset by everyone’s like perfect crops because this year Instagram is full of people talking about Slug damage the slow growth the combination of it all just being quite difficult that cabbage has suffered a little bit I’m hoping from it actually looks like pigeon damage but I think it’s just really active slugs so I’m hoping that that will fight on but the rest looking okay Scarlet Kale’s been left alone this bed is actually looking pretty good the main issue on here is the broad beans and oh hose get back in there where have you gone no not my feet please I’ve already got very wet feet because earlier I spent a while blasting the black fly off this as soon as I arrived I was like right I just need to do a quick water and these broad beans were just flipping covered you can see you know I’ve given just given these a good blast with the hose you know put your finger over the nozzle get some pressure and you can still see hundreds and thousands of of black fly on here just Unstoppable I mean you’re always going to have some but it is a good idea to keep on top of the blackfly if you can and I mean just getting the hose on it it’s quite a nice quick and easy way of blasting them off but you do need to be on top of it and like I say go away for 2 weeks and they will just exponentially grow you know salad patch looking incredible and I did bring up little plastic bag so I’m going to be taking home some Harvest today little weird weedy patch of vabina just left that in there but it is going to need to come out soon you I’ll thin it out and just keep a few kind of turn that into a line of Aina bad times for the beans very very bad times for the beans so in this bed we put in loads of field beans uh two kind of three double rows and I think they’re going to be okay but on Sunday when I came up they were looking ropey they’ve all gone really quite leggy and they were getting maybe ever so slightly leggy in the greenhouse but it looks like they’re still kind of doing it out here these ones look really good but these ones looking all burnt and crispy and slug damaged and it’s probably a bit of a combination of like wind burn and them not really being hardened off very much I just had to oh phone’s going again phone’s going again I just had to be getting them out that’s what I was saying it was a bit of a mad rush before the holiday you know and I’m so glad I managed to get so much stuff out but some things are doing better than others the beans actually I think look a little bit better well those beans anyway the field beans do these ones do not look okay the corett too are looking ropey as heck but I was expecting them to all get completely eaten so the fact that most of these are still here it feels like a miracle called this little batch of squash not so much not so much but the real damage is the beans these were my yin-yang beans and I was so excited really excited and this was absolutely packed jam-packed with bean plants I put in all this um Bean netting took quite a long time and they’ve all just been completely and utterly slugged all of the Christmas lemur I put a row of Christmas Lemma in there and some over the other side they’re completely gone just gone I think maybe 10% of the beans that I put in here have still got growth on them you know when you’ve just got these little stumps left these little stems and everything else has been eaten oh it’s horrible isn’t it it’s just awful there was a plant here once upon a time ah these were real pigs to plant as well I think this is actually a double whammy of digging as well as slug damage you can see nice big digging hole there something has been digging in there you can see the different color of the soil compared to the nice no dig manure bed that I created and you can see the roots of the plant there it’s just G really frustrating isn’t it really frustrating something has dug out a flower in here can’t remember what flower I put in there there was something um and it was just normal compost you know I’m not putting anything that should be attracting little digging creatures I did transplant a aena that’s survived sunflower has survived unlike the sunflower flow over here which I’m not sure you could see just now but yep definitely slug damage over here on the beans just a god what can you do you know I think it’s this is the first year I’ve really been temp tempted to try nematodes um and maybe it’s even a little bit late in the year now but I think next year little not to self get some nematodes and uh maybe I’ll have slightly better luck I think the Slugs really love this bit because they’ve got the nice grass patch under the orchard there one of those things one of those things another Silver Lining not too late to sew more beans so that is first item for today’s to-do list so more beans just in here you might remember I direct sewed a load of peas and look at this one plant incredible amazing HRA there’s other than that a lot of weeds a few little stumps of peas that the remaining peas that germinated and then have been eaten by various things on this side where I did more peas not a peep not a peep however these aren’t looking too bad this line of peas well they are looking ter terrible actually I was going to say terrific not terrific the opposite of that um just because they’ve not been a the water the water I just had it going completely incompetent every time that’s why I set the timer then I forgot the timer because it was getting annoying to keep stopping but yes these are looking okay they just need another string and you know I can’t tell if they’re MCH too or normal Peas I thought they were M too so I ate one the other day and I was like M that tastes a little grassy a little starchy and then I saw a post that someone else had done on Instagram where they were saying all their peas were really starchy this year cuz they’ve not had the sun I was like oh no then I was looking at one at the end like over here we’ve got this half that’s kind of dead and these have gone to seed a bit early and that is normal Peas I don’t actually remember what variety of these were it’s likely I’ve planted celv and wonder because I’ve got loads of seed of that um so hopefully these are just going to be actual peas although then again I don’t know what you reckon m 2 or peas maybe I should have labeled these ones I was convinced I took some pictures but I was going through um what I quite often do well those peas are nice um what I quite often do because I’m like filming and not labeling I do a little video on my phone or I do a little video clip for the camera and it immediately gets lost it doesn’t I I I find 90% of them um but there’s always a few that go a little bit missing so yes I’ll string those up but they are looking quite good Silver Lining something else is good in this other Greenhouse it’s not looking too bad the Chili Peppers were just very dry um really needed a good soak oh look at this oh look at this the Chili Peppers were dry the tomatoes were parched and on death store so they’re getting a good soak now he are all my spare black strawberries if you’re local get in touch you can have some very poorly treated Tomatoes if you want to come and get them can leave them by the front gate for someone these once again looking a little oh my God my heart this godamn hose giving me problems today folks get in there stay in there please stay stay thought it was a t under attack or something um something I’ve not mentioned uh mainly out of embarrassment do you remember throughout the the spring when I was trying to get the green houses sorted I put quite a lot of time and effort into getting the gutters kind of like jewelry rigged up with something nothing works nothing bloody works this one works perfectly because it’s got one of those plastic clips that fits the gutter so this is my literally out of four this is my only working gutter this one it just it didn’t work I tried to use some blue pipe it just doesn’t work it gets completely clogged this one has about 50% Effectiveness half of it goes down the pipe the rest just goes over the top and most heartbreakingly of all I don’t know how this has happened but this one on the other side of the greenhouse here which does have the perfectly sized plastic clip nice water but everything lovely the greenhouse is tilting this way somehow after spending so much much time on the base I was like what the heck I got the spirit level out the other day thinking the ground had shifted no it’s not the ground this Timber sleeper and the grounds I’ve leveled perfectly it does gently slope off towards the back but for some reason the gutter doesn’t this end of the C falls down like absolutely infuriating so all the water just kind of pulls up this end and um it’s not completely watertight so it mostly leaks out before it can come out the anyway anyway so that’s plot one the beans those y beans were really the um they were the heartbreaker they did Snow really annoyed me they were so difficult to plant out into the clay as well but Silver Lining yellow rattle can you see all the the little flowers coming out these are really close to ready now there’s a whole little pocket in here even more than I realized at first there one down here some more flowers in here in here so really good little spot of yellow rattle in here and I’m hoping I’ll be able to collect that seed and spread it all throughout the meadow beans were heartbreak number one this was heartbreak number two to be honest in the Sweet Pea frame thankfully the sweet peas are mostly okay they need the first little tying in and they’ve just started bushing out the ones at home now are literally getting up to the height of this they’re all the way up there so these are way behind but they’re alive unfortunately what is not alive are all the plants that i’ planted in here um you can’t see because these have kind of Fallen but basically this entire bed was dug out by the foxes this one I’ve kind of replanted and there’s another massive hole down here so I’m just you know it’s not the end of the world you know it’s just like I was really looking forward to how this was all going to look and it was one of those things where as you walked around you saw one thing and then another thing and then another thing and you just go ah ah I’m obviously feeling a lot better about it now a lot lighter it happens with time but yeah bit frustrating there’s probably a few more flowers kicking about in the greenhouse a few spares so I can hopefully kind of replant those but just a bit demoralizing a lot of those were slugged as well something that hasn’t been slugged remarkably just down here the big berther bed look at these salads we’ve got some really nice salad crops my parents take a few of these as payment for looking after the plot while I was away and unfortunately look at this anti rhum this was just like picked out I don’t know if it was dug out or if a bird kind of lifted out or something I do need to replant that in we’ve got a few anti rhums a few nice little flowers in the corner down here at the other Corner we’ve got the peach melbour nasium inlow looking really cute I do really need to get rid of that sorl this is just a temporary kind of cover really for weed suppression a nice ebike cardboard box strong as steel these things are and uh yes over here look another survivor of the slug Onslaught my pumpkin still alive this was a little garden center purchase that’s very good few more flowers in the corner there just about hanging on unfortunately the potatoes I’m really struggling to keep on top of the watering of these they’ve bounced back today already but when I arrived they were looking absolutely distraught and this one at the back in particular has had some potentially reparable damage looks like where it’s gotten really dry every all the vegetation kind of fallen over and a few of the the stems have actually snapped which is really annoying especially as I wanted to be in here doing what is this what is this where that’s got to be a bird that’s dropped that right trying to make a nest probably but yeah a bit demoralizing and I’m trying to you know do the tests and that kind of thing so it throws the results off a little bit these new potato pots things have been digging in here as well look at this giving them a little tidy up a little jge and we have got some it’s not germination is it with potatoes but you know what I mean we’ve got leaves hooray we do also have boatload of weed seed which is one of the questions I had for my own homade compost loads of tomatoes germinating and those are kind of fistly things so uh not great how’s this garlic looking seen a lot of people are pulling their garlic a little early this year cuz of rust I say no rust but it’s just looking puny not looking too good at all I’m just going to leave it for now see how it goes not holding out High Hopes these ones look absolutely terrible but there are one or two carrots in here the weeds in this one never mind I S that’s another day job sort out later there is some good news at the end of the plot we got some more rhubarb Harvest as well this just keeps on going asparagus looking healthy you know I saw someone the other day pinning up their asparagus frons are you meant to do that I’ve not done it I didn’t know Were Meant to do it I’ll just let mine go Rank and wild I’m sure it’ll be fine a bit of weed te germinating in here do need to get in and sort that but the good news is these back beds the flower bed has survived the slug Onslaught very very pleased with this we’ve got some stuff popping out with color leelas have survived a few of the daas these ASAS I think these are looking cool and I I said I wasn’t a big fan of this faia and um that was before it turned into these G gantic alien seed pods which absolutely horrible look at these what is this about absolute alien nightmare plant not a big fan but there are a few bees so I will leave it for now so long as they’re enjoying it but the really good news the really really good news I saw just now look at this can you spot them amongst the weeds and the bind weed look at this get out of here terrible pass Snips pnip leaves pnip germination very strong germination as well multiples in each of these little dibbed holes there one here with the little seed still attached really cute so that’s very good I think I’ve done Hollow Crown this year I can’t remember who needs labels it’s fine we’ll get pnps at some point hopefully another good one just off to the right look at these these were good in the last tour and now oh look at that absolutely incredible these are the alderman peas and these also look like m 2 um which is just something I’ve never really noticed before I’ve never I’ve never grown m 2 so I thought when I saw those other ones I’d say oh maybe they’re M too for some reason but I think that might just be what normal peas look like before they start filling out which you would think you would know if you’ve spent four years growing peas but there something I’ve never really thought about I do not know what I’m going to do with this bed figure that out at some point but it looks an absolute hot mess thankfully nothing worse has happened in here oh some of the onions are growing I mean they’re not growing by much but they are growing which is more than they’ve done since I planted them out many many weeks ago carrots moving slowly but moving nothing disastrous has happened here unfortunately what has happened that is I don’t know disaster is a strong we but like I say it was just all of these little things that I saw adding up and this entire tray brassas is just completely slugged just completely and utterly there was some slug damage on here the uh the last tour which is why I did that second sewing in the greenhouse that we saw just now but what can you do you know sew more and protect them better I suppose let’s finish off in the poly Tom I don’t know I feel like maybe um I promise I wasn’t deliberately dramatic with the title and thumbnail it really has been how I’ve been feeling um and I think it was it was mainly just those beans and those field beans all look like they were going to die and you know that video where I did 150 plants out it was grueling it took so long it’s planting into the clay you know I had a few comments of of other people who are like JB I know exactly what you’re talking about even if you’ve got something like a nice bald planter it takes so much effort and so much time getting down into the clay you so when you’ve done like dozens and dozens of bean plants and they’ all just been completely annihilated it’s really just like oh for God’s sake gets to you you know fortunately not too bad in the tunnel the main issue in the tunnel we’ve got a few watering faux pars the first of which is really funny I just remember I turned up and I was like oh my parents have forgotten to fill up the um the autopot reservoir because all of these you know multiple four plants with the autopot divider they’re all looking pretty dry pretty upset I forgot to turn the water on there’s a little tap just at the bottom there little red tap which I thought I had turned on but I just didn’t check very important when you do your auto pots to turn the tap on and check to see whether or not it’s I’ve just dripped that all over my foot oh they just dried out from the from watching those bloody broad beans I’m having a mirr today I just couldn’t believe I’d gone to all the effort of like rushing to get all this done I did like a nice specific video um on saying up the autopot extensions mad rush got the peppers all ready for the holiday forgot to turn it on do you remember I said there’s the human element you know you always need to be careful no matter what automation you’re doing there’s always the human element that can fail and for me it’s normally which does now scattered throughout the tunnel I had a few sort of trays of spares and that kind of thing and these actually looked okay my parents had done a great job of watering them this melon in particular had had a real growth spurt but then my neglect since the weekend came in today and they’re all oh they’re looking thirsty aren’t they I think they’ll bounce back I hope they will bounce back I do just kind of assume this is a one of my feelings as a gardener because I’m so used to working with chili peppers which love drought they they will look like this and they’ll bounce back fine it’s not ideal you know you want to keep them well watered but generally speaking very very well adapted to drought and I just kind of assume if I see plants like this you know we’ve got an oine there a melon tomato I’m just like ah they’ll bounce back they’ll be fine but actually I don’t know will they I hope so the uh the chili grow look at the color of these all three plants in the chili grow have got these weird really anemic leaves they’re not looking healthy at all I’m not sure what’s going on there at all same compost as as all the rest something you might have noticed in some of the videos I’ve not actually spoken about there’s a grape vine in my poly tunnel what yeah I I don’t know there when I built the poly tunnel I saw it there and it’s it’s never really done anything you know i’ sort of seen it before I took this plot on I was on very good terms so I’d sort of walked around a couple of times with the previous owner or tenant and um I had spotted that there was a great Vine here and it tended to do just absolutely nothing last year when I started the tunnel it was quite late in summer you know August and it was it was no bigger than kind of 40 cm high so I thought oh when I put the poly tunnel up I’ll just kind of tuck it in see if it does anything see if it’s on its way out see if it’s going to die no no it’s not it’s not dead it’s loving this poly tunnel so what I wanted to do was just see whether or not the grapes are tasty there’s no label on there I don’t know so I’m hoping I’ll get a few off there and if it’s really good then I’ll I’ll do something with it I don’t want to leave it on this side because this is the south facing side this having a great Vine arm would really shade out the rest of the poly tunnel and everything under it on this side not such a big deal this is the north facing side so um I might retrain it over here or something like that if they’re really tasty the peppers in the big pots absolutely robust chunky no problem whatsoever no no signs of drought or anything like that really good Thick Growth absolutely love it maybe a few more flowers on here than I’d like to see for something in its final pot so I will take those off a bit later over here we’ve got another tray look shameful more tomatoes so a few of these have gone home I’m going to do a little Quadro in the back garden and a few have gone to my parents and a few will go into the ground in the other greenhouse and I I actually won’t have nearly as many spares as I thought I’ll still have maybe like 105 but I was worried I was going to have like you know 30 extra tomato plants I was going to be squeezing in a few will go outside as well but in the ground the tomatoes themselves it looks a bit of a mess cuz we got all this um Blue from the the irrigation system that turned out to be a bit of a dud if you missed the video where I was talking about that it’s because it was at the start of the autopot setup and I found out that actually the the flow rate on it is just useless for these Tomatoes basically but a lot of these have absolutely gone boom really really pleased I really you know I was struggling on that Sunday after the beans and and seeing how much had been dug up and eaten by slugs and I came in here and I was just like you know what yes yes over on this side these were the slightly stronger plants you can see I need to tie them all in now they were a little bit too small when they went in to be tied in but they really have grown an awful lot in just 12 days so really really pleased we’ve got a few cucumbers over here these haven’t done much actually these look pretty much the same but they are nice and green they look nice and healthy what doesn’t look healthy is this little Ring of Fire chili pepper plant what’s going on here you look really droughty I think this might not have been planted deep enough I he’s probably got some root Rock and some root damage to maybe something so it’s got kind of symptoms of transplant shock I’m going to got very short string here so that needs a bit more support the two over here looking quite nice though there’s a little Zimbabwe black once again needs a little bit of support but that one will be fine and a Korean chili at the back got a few peppers on it but some good New Growth I thought as I was going around I’d be coming up with this massive to-do list loads of stuff to do I do need to pot up my Chili Peppers that’s one of the big ones for me I want to do more beans yiny beans they look so cool I was so excited for them and they were so much work May I mean it was really the beans that’s the main thing the beans and the flowers that have been lost are actually nowhere near as bad as I thought you can just get in your head with these things can’t you I knew I’d feel better once we got the camera out I knew I’d be a bit like a you’re fine JB what you’re crying in about there’s no use crying over a bit of slug damage is there not if we were crying over a bit of slug damage every time then we would not get very far in gardening there’s some flipping massive lettuces in here that I really want to harvest as well but yes the to-do list not too bad I do need some more salad trays because I’m going to do that thing where there’s lettuce everywhere and I sto sewing it so I need to sew more lettuce probably some more brassas again cuz those weird ones in the greenhouse do not look right and it’s very late for brassas now but we got to try we got to try and we got puttting up the Chili Peppers keeping on top of the the potatoes five I do want to get a a different irrigation system because I think it would be very cool to have a proper setup in here six I need to get more tomatoes in the ground in that other poly tunnel not a poly tunnel the greenhouse the second Greenhouse that’s a big big job rewing beans I can’t remember if I’ve said that rewing salads and generally having to think about other things to sew I do want to knock up some proper doors as well with the hinges slight number nine and number 10 well I think someone needs to sort out this grass don’t know everywhere you look I did not do this long ago and it just that time of year where it really does add up but trimming the grass probably the worst thing for someone with hay fever I need to sneeze so I’m going to be plugging away I’m going to carry on doing what I can when I can and the videos are going to drop off dramatically this summer because um if I’m up here with hay fever I want to be as quick as I possibly can and it’s going to be a bit of a struggle and like I said I don’t want to be maning and moing about hey fever the whole time so if the video is drop off they might not you know he might be done it might be a miraculous recovery maybe the medicine is working again I’m not sure but uh yes don’t worry about me that’s my point if the video start to drop off please do not be concerned and massive thank you as always to all of my patrons who keep a little bit of the income coming in when the videos do slow down it really helps to take the pressure off because um all of that Patron money goes into the plot it all gets purchased you know it’s all things like compost sheds I don’t know what irrigation systems twine container wise pots and you know all that kind of stuff the things that just make life so much easier so thank you to all of my patrons especially my chili pepper here patrons Tony Bill Pam Louise Mel Michael Denise socks in the garden Andrew Sarah doas Louise Angela and Andre oh I lost it for a little second
