Video Description

Welcome back to my allotment, where things are looking VERY dry at the moment. It hasn't rained properly for (I think) around 6 weeks! So watering seedlings has been a challenge, and seeds that have been direct sown have required a soaking almost daily to stop them from drying out! The good thing about the dry weather is, the young plants are getting plenty of sun and there is an unusual lack of slugs this year! The greenhouse plants are thriving, and things seem to be coming together quite well! it won't be long before the harvests start rolling in. The wait will soon be over, the harvests are nigh! Watch how I plant my potatoes in containers here: https://youtu.be/90fqOHaD-UE #gardening #allotment #gardeningforbeginners
