Hey guys,

Today I am planting out the vegetable seedlings that I’ve grown on my own. These are going into my first full allotment plot so needed enough to fill all of the vegetable beds.

This allotment gardening uk vlog was filmed toward the start of June 2023 so it’s a little late – Sorry!

The rain kind of put a stop to me filming the rest of my planting out but fingers crossed next time I film at the allotment it won’t be interrupted yet again…

  1. Clare at Growing Plotty has what looks like shade screen on the inside of her greenhouse. You may want to check with her and see, maybe that would work for you.

  2. Wow seedlings look great Soph 👍. Shallots are going really well most of mine bolted. Glad you got it all netted before the birds found them. Have a great week Soph happy gardening, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

  3. You look like you found a good spot to bring on the seedlings . I had to raise up my seedlings onto a table off of gumtree to keep the slugs off. Then I needed to cover with chicken wire to keep the squirrels away. Over the winter I’ve got to build a cold frame away from the sun on my plot so that I can just drop off trays of plants and to implement a version of Steve’s staggered sowing poly bed. He had the right idea sow often in a line to get staggered cropping. If you can get wood chip coffee grounds and cardboard and place on top the worms will Rotavate the ground into perfect soil over winter. Not all plants love fresh wood chip strawberries do. But when wood chip disappears most plants do. Fungus and bacteria rot the wood chip , nematodes eat the fungus and bacteria , worms eat the nematodes and poo perfect humus.

  4. Shallots and onions looking great Sophie .Pak Choi is a cold weather crop and does better planted in Autumn or very early spring .Its useless in summer for the reasons you've discovered ,gets massacered by flea beatles ,same with radish .Great job on sorting the netting 🌺

  5. Watch out for those twisted foliage on you onions the dreaded Alium leaf mine is about,

  6. Can’t you get some free manure? Local stables might deliver it for free too? This will retain moisture and help with soil nutrition.

  7. You have a lovely calming way about you and I could have watched you for an hour, thank you.

  8. Well done with your plot .it will take a few months love keep going .first time in looking at your video .John from Scotland

  9. That rose is gorgeous ❤ onions and shallots look amazing, fab vlog Sophie 🥰
