Welcome to a calm and hopeful early spring at the new allotment 🌱
In this vlog, we’re stepping into a brand new year and taking on a new plot that was, quite honestly, covered in rubbish… and beginning the gentle process of clearing, dreaming, and imagining what it might become. There’s something so special about this time of year (after what has felt like a very long winter) when the garden is just starting to wake, and everything feels full of quiet possibility.
✨ What’s inside this vlog:
· Seeing our new allotment for the very first time… the reality, the rubbish, and all that potential 🌿
· A gentle tidy and clear, uncovering the soil beneath it all
· Chatting about plans, hopes, and what we might grow this season 🌱
· Noticing the first subtle signs that spring is on its way
· A little wander around Kate’s small garden at home, where things are slowly beginning again 🌷
· And of course, our usual cosy rambly catch up at the end ☕
If you love Gardening, allotment life, slow seasonal living, and finding joy in simple outdoor moments, we’d be so happy to have you along for this new beginning.

Have you looked into elecroculture, using copper to draw in ether to make your plants grow huge?
In the Netherlans we have alottments but often you have to do horid compulsatory chores with the other allotment holders and there are loafs of rules. I had to give up my allotment, the negativity was too much. Are you free to do whatever you want without strings attached?
Looks like you have the best spot there.Can't wait to see your harvest .
When we were kids, we ate a lot of strawberry rhubarb jam, so it's not a surprise that I love making stewed rhubarb with any type of berry. I love it warm with a splash of cream. I will put lots of rhubarb berry mixes in the freezer to enjoy over Winter. You are so lucky to be able to get out in your gardens this early: sadly I have to wait a couple of months yet. Take care.
Would love to see your process of making rhubarb tea.
I grow at least 50 dahlias a year- be sure not to water the tubers until you see green growth or you risk them rotting. Good luck!
Can you gather rain water in vessels?
Hi thank you for the video, lovely plot and house garden take care have a wonderful day 😊
It's so fun to hear you say "Dayleahs" Here in the US we say: DAHHh-lyas. Feels like it should be reversed.
It just occured to me that you are using the term eggplant instead of aubergine. Is that for the benefit of your North American viewers or is the terminology changing in the UK?
You have a sweet spot in your yard you will create a peaceful retreat ❤
I saw my first butterfly of the year today! A yellow one. I was as excited as you Kate with your first bee. 💚 Could you both make a video in which you tell about yourself please? What work you do, your ages and where you live? I would love ❤ that!! Thank you Fleur and Kate for all of your lovely videos! 💋💋From the Netherlands
My grandmother always made a rhubarb sauce that we had on ice cream or toast. Made mother also made wonderful strawberry rhubarb pie❤
I just planted my dahlia corms today, in pots. Will stay on my kitchen windowsill until after the last frost when I will plant them outside in the ground. I do them like this every year, and theyre always great.
Great video love your allotments .
You guys are just such a delightful part of my day every time you post. I love this channel best of all.
Nice to see spring somewhere lol Cheers from Maine!
A slow worm is a headless lizard, not a snake. Love that you have an allotment. When I visited the U K a few years back I really loved walking in the allotment behind the house where we were staying and talking to the people working in their spaces.
im headed into the 5th snowstorm of the week. im so jealous of you.
So nice to see things growing again after a very wet and gloomy winter. Love seeing you at the lotty and now we have another lotty to watch through the seasons. Also your garden is looking great. Love this channel bring on more please.🧡🧡
Gin, Rhubarb and ginger beer over ice is such a beautiful summer drink.😀
Thank you for the tour. Can't wait for your next video.
As our summer winds downs here( slowly it's still hot!) And my garden comes to an end i really enjoy vlogs like yours welcoming in spring!
What a great video! Thank you for sharing your new allotment and lovely garden Kate, it’s a real privelige to be allowed to see your lovely home.
Can't wait to see how your garden grows.
