00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,119

00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:05,040
into a new flat, and I hope that you're all

00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,799
enjoying that the podcasts are back. We've been concentrating this

18
00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:13,640
week on talking about all the plants that you can

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,519
plant this month, all the jobs which need doing in

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,400
the fruit, vegetable and flower gardens. And also in yesterday's episode,

21
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,680
we talked about the jobs which need doing in the

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:30,560
sheds and the polytunnels. Well, today's podcast episode, we're going

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,799
to be talking about my allotment journey. How my allotment

24
00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:36,159
journey's been. Has it been a good journey, has it

25
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:38,920
not been a good journey. Well, we're going to talk

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,400
about all that in this episode, and why not. We

27
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:46,840
need to start off with a Christmas joke for you all.

28
00:01:47,239 --> 00:01:51,519
So today's Christmas joke is, why did the Brussels sprout

29
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,040
bring a shovel to the Christmas Party? Why did the

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,000
Brussels sprout bring a shovel to the Christmas party? Because

31
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:06,120
it wanted to dig the vibe. It wanted to dig

32
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:09,280
the vibe. Trust me, these jokes get a lot better

33
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:13,319
or worse should I say? But yeah, I hope you're

34
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,240

39
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,199
we're going to talk about my allotment journey and to

40
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,000
say that I'm thirty nine years old. It has been

41
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:42,240
a long allotment journey in my lifetime to say, like

42
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:45,520
a lot of people would just be getting into allotment

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,280
in at my age. Now people think, oh, it's not

44
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,479
cool to allotment when you're young and meant to be

45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,280
going out and everything like that. But times are changing

46
00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:59,400
and younger people are getting into growing their own produce,

47
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:02,719
which is absolutely fantastic. I absolutely love it. And this

48
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,560
is why we do these podcasts to encourage more and

49
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,680
more people to get involved in doing it. So I

50
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:14,719
started my allotment journey back when I was fourteen, fourteen

51
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,560
or fifteen years old. And what it was is that

52
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:22,439
in my local area there was this allotment site. There

53
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,120
were one person left on the allotment site. All the

54
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:29,280
rest of them had gone developed, they'd overgrown, and yeah,

55
00:03:29,439 --> 00:03:32,439
the council was saying, if we can't get them back

56
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:34,520
up and running again, we're going to get rid of

57
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,479
them because nobody's using them. It's a waste of land,

58
00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:41,680
you know how it all is. So the local community

59
00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:45,960
formed a group and the council cleared them all and

60
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,199
they managed to rent them all out and they got

61
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400
funding for the allotment site to get roads put in,

62
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,199
stand pipes put in so that there were water on site,

63
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:58,879
which is a key benefit. If you're looking for an allotment,

64
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,639
always look for a site that's got water on it. Yes,

65
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:03,879
you might be able to catch some in winter when

66
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:07,360
it rains, but you'll aso run out of water. Trustmate,

67
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:09,439
We've had heat waves in the past and I know

68
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,960
people have struggled we're getting water to the allotment sit

69
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,519
so always look for water. So yeah, I then started

70
00:04:18,519 --> 00:04:21,399
helping my dad on his allotment. Because my dad was

71
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:24,480
part of the organization, he had an allotment, and I

72
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,079
used to go and help my dad garden on his

73
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,720
allotment and I absolutely loved it, and obviously tasting all

74
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,639
the vegetables that you were growing were fantastic. So when

75
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,920
I turned eighteen, I thought, why am I helping my

76
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,519
dad do his allotment when I can have my own allotment.

77
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,120
Now I'm old enough I'm allowed to have one. And

78
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,360
I was still living with my parents and I often

79
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,319
used to think, I just need to get out of

80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,839
the house and just be away, you know what I mean,

81
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,199
You need your own space. So I applied to get

82
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,199
my own allotment and I got it. And back then,

83
00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:03,879
obviously allotments weren't trendy, back when I was eighteen, which

84
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,680
is nearly twenty years ago, and they were no waiting lists,

85
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:11,759
no waiting list for the allotment. So I got one

86
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,639
straight away and got my own piece of land. And

87
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,600
from then on, I've never looked back all my friends

88
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,959
just to say why have you got an allotment at eighteen?

89
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,720
You should be going out and enjoying yourself. Why you've

90
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:29,920
got an allotment? And you're sad? Basically obviously they called

91
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,240
your names and stuff like that, saying like why why

92
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,519
are you having an allotment at that age? And the

93
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,600
best thing is is that they're now contacting me asking

94
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:43,399
me for tips and advice on growing stuff, So it

95
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,160
isn't sad after all. And I encourage more and more

96
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:48,240
people to get into it, and like I say, it's

97
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,079
getting a lot more trend here and more people are

98
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,360
wanting to That's why there's these big waiting lists now,

99
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,120
because everybody's wanting to do it. And a lot of

100
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,959
times people post photos showing what they've produced, and people

101
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,519
I think, oh, that's an easy thing to do. Trust me,

102
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,279
it's not. It's nearly a full time job growing fruit

103
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:09,240
and vegetables. I don't know how we're to manage on

104
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:12,439
two days a week now going to my allotment because

105
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,120
it is a lot of hard work. And yeah, I

106
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,519
started off with my allotment. I got a greenhouse from

107
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,199
somebody else down at the allotment site, but I had

108
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,480
to go to his house to get it because it

109
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,160
was at his house. And unfortunately with that roos day, we

110
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,240
managed to get the glass out, but we couldn't get

111
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,839
the frame apart. So me and my dad ended up

112
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:36,639
walking about one and a half miles with a greenhouse

113
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,959
frame and that wasn't pleasant at all. And that has

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,399
to be one of my biggest regrets getting a greenhouse,

115
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,839
because obviously I'm six 't five. I struggled to be

116
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,439
in it. Yes, it were good to start off with,

117
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,839
but obviously the glass breaks, it smashes, pieces fall out,

118
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,720
and there were glass everywhere and stuff like that. So

119
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:00,720
I don't always recommend getting a glass house on an

120
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,480
allotment site. I'd recommend I have a plastic one or

121
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,319
building your own like I have done now. So we

122
00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:15,680
started off with that. Then we got my I organized

123
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,319
my plot. I got some fruit trees. I started off

124
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:24,879
with a cherry tree, a plum tree, a nectarine tree,

125
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,600
and a cooking apple tree. And my cooking apple tree

126
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,439
and my plum tree is still there to this day.

127
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,279
They're still growing fantastic. My nectarine tree never did anything,

128
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:38,759
so I chopped that down. Same with my cherry that

129
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:40,920
never did anything, so I got rid of that as well.

130
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,639
And since then we've now got two more apple trees

131
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,759
eating apple trees. We've also got two pear trees, which

132
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,399
do absolutely fantastic as well as eating apples, they do

133
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,560
fantastic as well. And two years ago I planted two

134
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,600
more plum trees because my plum trees uggling a bit

135
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,360
these days, and last year was absolutely terrible. It like

136
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,439
literally half died off when it was growing, so I

137
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:10,480
don't know what happened to it last year. So hopefully

138
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,600
these new two plum trees will do fantastic down at

139
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,920
my a lotment. And these are Victoria plum trees that

140
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,639
are absolutely gorgeous, So if you're looking at plum trees,

141
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:27,240
get a Victoria plump because it's absolutely delicious. I then

142
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,759
planted some rhubarb, which I've still got down there to

143
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,399
this day. I've got about sixteen crowns of that now

144
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,799
because over the time I've cleared the area and dug

145
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,159
it all up and split the crowns, replanting them, and

146
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,639
got more rhubarb plants growing down there. We've also obviously

147
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,919
got a strawberries, which are originals from the beginning of

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,320
my plot. Every year I keep taking the runners off

149
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,200
and me planting them and getting new plants and sharing

150
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,519
them with other people on the site as well, so

151
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,679
my strawberry plants are all over the allotments. We've also

152
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:07,320
got our blackberries. We've got as raspberries have been in

153
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,279
there from the start as well. They've been doing an

154
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:13,000
absolutely fantastic year after year they grow and they get

155
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,799
fantastic produce on. So I've still got some of my

156
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:19,120
same stuff what I've had down there since I started,

157
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:22,559
like when I was eighteen. And obviously we've got as

158
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,200
polytunnel which has been up about sixteen years. That cost

159
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,679
me five hundred pound when I bought it. But it's

160
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:35,279
a twenty foot polytunnel I think it is, or twenty

161
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:38,919
five foot by about fifteen foot wide, so it's a

162
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,080
decent sized polytunnel. But like I said, it cost five

163
00:09:42,159 --> 00:09:45,919
hundred pounds, but it was a brilliant investment and it's

164
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,600
ideal for growing stuff in there in the winter. Obviously,

165
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:52,919
it's marted cucumbers and stuff like that. I've messed around

166
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,000
with irrigation over the years, self irrigation, which has worked

167
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,679
fantastic when I've got it all set up working. So yeah,

168
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:07,679
it's been a fantastic experience. And I started blogging probably

169
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,720
about seven years ago or so, and that was just

170
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:15,320
sharing pictures and little videos of what I were getting

171
00:10:15,399 --> 00:10:18,279
up to. I'd blogging with a massive thing back then,

172
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:21,919
and I was just sharing tips and advice of what

173
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:28,360
I were doing. I'm basically keeping a diary of what

174
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,440
I had planted where and how I'd planted it and

175
00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:33,320
what did well and stuff like that, just for my

176
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:38,000
own purpose. Little did I know that people would actually

177
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,399
start following me. And then I started building an audience

178
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,720
up on Facebook. It all started on Facebook to start

179
00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:48,559
off with. I started building a little audience. People were

180
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,240
getting involved, they were interacting, they were enjoying it, and

181
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,279
I thought, yes, I'm loving this. I'm actually loving talking

182
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,159
to everybody and sharing what I'm getting up to and

183
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600
suddenly I'm like twenty thousand followers on Facebook. I can't

184
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:07,200
believe it. And then I obviously started doing stuff on

185
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,480
Instagram as well, sharing pictures on there, and obviously I

186
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,399
do my YouTube videos as well. Now on there. My

187
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,120
first ever YouTube video on my YouTube channel, I don't

188
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,559
know if you can find it. You can usually sort

189
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,799
them by age. And it's when I actually first built

190
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:28,360
my shed. And yeah, the shed is still standing from

191
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,360
when I built that video. It's had a few a

192
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,120
major revamp over the years, but the framework is still

193
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,039
up and still standing, which is a bonus for me

194
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:39,000
because you know what I'm like, we're building I'm absolutely

195
00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:44,679
rubbish with And we didn't actually start live streaming till

196
00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:51,279
I it's lockdown because I thought people are enjoying what

197
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,720
I'm doing. I'm going to go live and talk to people.

198
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,159
But then I was scared thinking what if people ask

199
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,080
me questions that I don't actually know about because I

200
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,120
don't know everything about gardening. I've just learned what I've

201
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,720
done myself. If you get my I'm not a professional.

202
00:12:04,759 --> 00:12:08,399
I don't have a certificate to say that I'm a

203
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:13,320
professional gardener. So I got started with that, and I

204
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,279
absolutely loved it talking to people, people interacting with me

205
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,200
on live. Obviously, I don't do my Facebook lives anymore

206
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:23,919
these days because I don't have time for it, because

207
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,720
it takes about half an hour to do all that,

208
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:28,399
so I have to crack on with my allotment these days.

209
00:12:28,399 --> 00:12:30,360
That's why I do a lot of my videos for

210
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:35,600
you to watch that way. And over these years, I've

211
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:42,080
learned so much different methods, different ways of growing, different verises,

212
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,720
what work best in growing. And some years, like in

213
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,080
my first few years, I was successful with so much

214
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,120
stuff growing, and then after that it failed and I'm like, well,

215
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,600
what I've done wrong? But that is gardening. One year

216
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960
you might be absolutely fantastic with growing and then a

217
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,840
few years yeah, later it might be absolutely rubbish and

218
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:06,240
you think what am I doing wrong? But that's just

219
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:09,600
the art of gardening. And one thing I've learned about

220
00:13:09,639 --> 00:13:15,480
gardening is never give up. Keep trying. And it's yes,

221
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,919
it's you get produce from it, but it's fun and

222
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,879
it's enjoyable. And if something grows success, If it doesn't,

223
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,879
oh well, you just try to get next year or

224
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,080
in a few more months. When it's a bit warmer,

225
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:32,519
but it's all about having fun and enjoying it. And

226
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:35,240
yes it can be quite expensive. It's not as always

227
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:37,879
as cheap as people say that it is to grow

228
00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:40,480
your own stuff. Some stuff's cheap to grow, but some

229
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:43,120
stuff you might just be cheap off buying it the supermarket.

230
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,000
But it's the taste. You know it's organic, it's fresh,

231
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:48,960
and you know your hard work, time and efforts got

232
00:13:49,039 --> 00:13:52,639
into it. And that is what I absolutely love about gardening.

233
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,840
So over these twenty years of gardening, my allotment journey

234
00:13:56,919 --> 00:14:01,960
has been absolutely fantas asked the people that I've got

235
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,480
to know through doing my social media and getting involved

236
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,559
in my posts. Yes, I may not always reply back

237
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,360
to posts and comments, but I do read them and

238
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:14,120
I do love to see all the comments on the post.

239
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:18,080
If I replied back to every post and comment, it

240
00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,600
would be a full time job, and unfortunately this podcast

241
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:24,279
doesn't pay for that. If we get millions of people

242
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,080
listening to this podcast, then maybe we can retire and

243
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,000
do it full time. Hint hint, share share share. But yeah,

244
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,320
I absolutely love it and I wouldn't change it for

245
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,240
the world, and I'm going to keep on doing these podcasts,

246
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,519
keep on doing the lives, the videos for you to watch,

247
00:14:44,559 --> 00:14:48,480
the photos that I share, the little Christmas jokes and

248
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:51,080
stuff like that. I absolutely love doing it all and

249
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,159
finding new stuff for you to listen to and to watch.

250
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,360
So if you've ever got anything that you want me

251
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,000
