It’s the Garden in May, and the garden has exploded into green life. This time, I’ll be showing the progress of my Fryd bed, how to make simple plant supports, and harvesting the first of this year’s potatoes. Then I introduce you to and plant up three very unusual edible plants - all are completely new to me - and the new works on the garden shed. I also show you this year’s container garden set-up and greenhouse garden and give you a full look at the garden and Polycrub.
You’ll also get to see Josie, who’s grown triple the size she was in March and we wait on word from the vet about Maggie. She was hit by a car two days ago and has been at the veterinary clinic ever since.

Hello from Georgia in the US. Enjoyed your garden tour and the tips on containers. Prayers and love for Maggie; so happy she's on the mend - she is a darling. Thank you for sharing; take care.
I,m sorry Tanya but i am so relieved that Maggie is fine that i completely missed the entire show and tell on the garden. I have to rewatch it a few times. Big cuddles for my favorite garden friend Maggie. I sadly lost my boy march this year due to a seizure. I still miss him every day.
I'm so sorry for your loss...our fur babies are family, and it hurts so bad when we lose them 😞
Bless little Maggie❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wishing Maggie a speedy recovery.
The garden looks so abundant and I’m so pleased you fur baby is recovering 💗
I'm glad Maggie is ok & Josie is georgeous
Tanya so glad your kitty Maggie has recovered from her injuries 😊 hello from Canadia 🇨🇦
I've seen some epic "catios" online and I'm positive you and Josh could out do them all. Maggie would have the best of both worlds. I'm so very happy she is on the mend and safe.
get well, maggie!
lovely videoglad maggie is feeling better
Glad to hear Maggie is ok, happy June gardens from here in the North East of England!
Get well soon Maggie❤️
Poor Maggie, but so happy to hear she is doing better ❤
I'm so glad Maggie is home and on the mend. I can imagine the stress and anxiety.
Maggie!
💚🥰💜😻💜🥰💚
Bạn chia sẻ rất hữu ích ,cảm ơn bạn đã chia với mọi người kinh nghiệm làm vườn .
Sending well wishes to Maggie. And your garden is gorgeous, as always.
Thank you 💚
Such a bountiful garden, I'm always inspired by your videos. You really put a lot of work into it's development and structures.
Thank you 🥹 It takes time for some of the structures and plantings to fill in but they're getting there 💚
Poor Maghie, I do hope she is better soon, bless her. Your garden is fabulous. ❤
I am so relieved that Maggie is doing well. Great outcome for you both. 😍🐱
So happy Maggie is doing better!
Beautiful garden.
Enjoyed the video and found the tips and suggestions very useful.
So glad Maggie is ok. Those fur babies! Also feathered friends (chickens, in my case) love to roam but we have big trees and hawks. So they get supervised when I'm in the garden and the dog might help deter the hawks, but I'm not counting on that. You do what you can to balance happiness vs safety. Garden looks lovely!
You clearly understand the conundrum and the worry. It's such a balance of freedom and safety. I hope all your lovely hens stay safe, too 💚
All of the gardens are just beautiful. That was a really great idea for the potting bench. Many blessings to Maggie may she heal quickly. Have a blessed week ahead.
Thank you and to you as well, Jane 💚
So glad Maggie is going to be okay :) I have always let my animals have freedom. My chihuahua can be taken by a fox or bord of pray ,but she has to live. Your garden looks lovely. I am having a slug problem this year and they ate my chilis and peppers.
Josie is beautiful. I'm so happy Maggie is recovering. It's so difficult when pets get hurt/sick. My heart sank. One of my huskies was hit by a young guy one day. No one's fault and I ended up trying to help him by the roadside. It was traumatic.
Can I say that you were one of my first gardeners I started to follow and I absolutely adore all your content. I am so interested in the container part coming up this year. ❤
Did your husky make it? I'm so sorry 💚 Thank you for your kind words!
No she didn't and my two oldest saw the whole thing. One of my boys didn't talk for 2 Weeks it was awful. I can't express the pain. We did have a little ceremony and planted a tree next to her. Her name was Quincy. I suppose just do what we can.
I'm so glad Maggie is recovering well x
Electric vehicles are also a concern, as you, or the cat can not hear them ... sadly I know this from experience 😢😢😢
Your garden is as beautiful and productive as ever :)
Electric vehicles hadn't occurred to me 😢
Aww, poor Maggie- what a scare for you. When I had cats, I used to clip their claws and then they found it hard to scrabble up fences as no 'hooks' on their claws. My garden was totally fenced with 6ft high fencing. I also made a large , secure garden enclosure. complete\with shrubs and small trees, so my cats could enjoy outside time unsupervised. Hope these ideas might work fozaggie to keep her safe.
Your garden is lovely; I always learn something. I've been making your simple face cream recipe for a year now. I really like the way it feels. Thank you. Lee
You're so welcome! Which recipe are you using? I'll be sharing a new one on my website very soon - one that I've been using for the last month. It'll come out in my newsletter next month if you're interested? Here's the sign up form www.subscribepage.com/lovelygreens
I am so relieved Maggie is recovering! I wasn’t sure from your earlier post so this is welcome news! ❤️❤️❤️ I lost my beloved precious fur daughter Darcy around midnight February 12 and my heart is so broken. She is the closest I will ever have to a real child, she was born in my home and I loved her from the hour of her birth and will until I die. I am so thankful that Maggie has more time left with her family. ❤. I think your pallet potting bench is very clever.
I,m so sorry for your loss. I understand how you feel, i lost my beautifull boy Bram on march 22 due to a seizure he never came out of. We didn't know he had them. I'd love to think that they're both healthy again and playing around in rainbowland behind the clouds.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I know that heartbreak well when I lost Cheebies and Louis. They were born on February 12th, 2011, and though time has passed, my heart still hurts when I think about it. Sending you healing comforting thoughts 💚💚
So very sorry, Jeanine 💔 😢
Hoping poor Maggie recovers back to her usual self. She looks alert, so hopefully no lasting damage.
Planted first early Duke of York potatoes mid-February in seven pots. Harvested first pots at beginning of May and the last for this weekend. The Caledonian Pearl first earlies planted in the ground late April are through the soil but will be a couple of months yet. Strawberries in flower and there are some small berries appearing. Everything else is a bit behind yours in Man.
She's even better today 😍 Sounds like your garden and early harvests are coming on a treat!
Great video,,,,
Oh no poor Maggie. Glad she is able to pee. Had exact same with a tabby cat Oliver of mine, got hit by car. The vet amputated his tail, as he said the spine would fix better and may not work , it was lifeless, but main thing was, ❤ he survived. I called him Oli-bobs after that he was so cute even with his stumpy tail.
I'm so glad that he survived! Thank goodness 💚
Sweet potato leaves are one of the only greens I can grow in the heat of summer! 2 whole months with highs over 100 and they don’t mind.
Yes!! I can see it becoming an important green, even in temperate climes, in years to come.
Thank goodness Maggie is home and recovering!
Cats and roads are such a problem, especially when you have a cat that loves to 'travel'. Hopefully Maggie has learned her lesson and she'll be a little more circumspect around the Lane. I'm glad she's recovering well. The garden is looking beautiful. It's great to see the 'rooms' being created by the clever plantings you put together.
Maggie- get well soon. Puppy is cute!
I love your garden. We have the hardest year of gardening this year. Rain since Oktober i think, warm weather al the winter long and slugs allover the propertie. I lost so many crops and flowers. It is great to go to the super market. Hard time of a veggiegarden
It's been terrible here with the wet and slugs, too. Armies of tiny baby slugs. Though I rarely use them, I've had to resort to using organic slug pellets for young plants in the greenhouse and polycrub. They were getting decimated before!
Get well soon, Maggie!❤
The garden and tunnel look absolutely beautiful! You are going to have an amazing season! 💚 ~ Tanya
Thank you, and I hope so!
Oh I'm so very happy to hear Maggie is going to be okay. My 17 year old cat Neesha just passed away Monday and I'm utterly heartbroken.
I'm heartbroken for you 💔 So very sorry 😞
@@Lovelygreens Thank you 💗
Your garden looks amazing, Get better Maggie
Aw get well soon Maggie x
You live the best lifestyle. Many people do not know this life, they avoid it and go to the noise and the bad life.
SO glad Maggie is on the mend ❤
I have a gardening question for you. I have always been unclear about how/when to harvest potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions… as far as, do they need time to cure? Can you eat them straight out of the ground? Can they overwinter and you just dig as needed? Would love more info about those types of things!
I hear that carrots can be left in ground all winter, and you just pick as needed. That would work great for people with no place to store them.
Thank you for your channel. We love it!
Thank you, Janeen 💚 In mild climates, you can often leave root crops in the ground over winter. When I mean mild, that means that it doesn't dip much below freezing at all. Otherwise, you'll need to lift and store carrots, potatoes, and other crops, or they can freeze and rot in the ground. Onions are ready to harvest when the stems fall over. Garlic, when half of the lower leaves are yellow and dead. Onions and garlic need drying before storage, called curing. Though normal potatoes can be eaten straight from the ground, sweet potatoes need curing before eating and storage. See my sweet potato video for more info on how to do that.
Thank you! I will check out that video. Curing, how long, where to cure… all things I need to get a better grasp on!
Most fun thing we ever grew during my childhood was popcorn. Growing, picking, then ‘twisting’ off the kernels and letting the wind blow out the chaf. Best popcorn ever 😊
@@janeen1933 Sweet potatoes need a high humidity, high-temperature environment to cure. I share my technique here: czcams.com/video/_ssIb1ogqGU/video.htmlsi=nNAx5wt05Gn0GQS6
Your garden is looking amazing! Wishing Maggie a full recovery.
I hope so, too! Thank you 💚
Poor Maggie! Love your videos - can't wait to see how your hedgerow does this year!
The garden looks great!
Glad Maggie is ok. ❤
Thank you 💚 She's not mended yet but the signs are good. With the broken tail she can't jump and she walks very strangely. Hoping she's on the road to recovery, though 🙏
Your puppy is gorgeous. My love to the Isle of Man. Lived there for 17 years.
Gardens looking lush and great Tanya. So glad Maggie is on the mend. Josey will keep Maggie on her toes in time or vice versa . Best wishes to all .
Thank you, and yes, Josie keeps all the cats on their toes. She just wants to play, but the cats want nought to do with her 😆
❤😊
Lovely garden ! Thx for sharing Tanya!
Glad your Maggie is doing well, they can be such a worry sometimes as we care for them so much. Garden looks great and love the shed makeover. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much 💚
I'm glad to see your little cat is on the mend. Your garden is looking beautiful.
Thank you 😊
I like your garden design. Especially the little row of fruit trees with flowers planted under it.
I love it, too 😍 Thank you
👌
Aki a kutyát szereti az rossz ember nem lehet❤👍
Wow everything looks lush and green over there 🌱🌱💚 anything new growing this year?
poor little Maggie, but she will bounce back...she's a brawler and won't be held down...😼 your garden is fabulous as always...great to see you...have a sweet week
She is 💯 a brawler! Hahaha
So thankful Maggie is doing well. I love your Pup! The garden looks fantastic!!!! So??? What will you make with the Cola plant? Purpose? I am so intrigued.
I'm intrigued with it, too! I'm thinking of using it for flavouring drinks, but who knows what else? It will also create a wonderful evergreen shrub for the garden - eventually it will go in a border.
Love seeing around your garden Tanya. Poor Maggie. I hope she's improving all the time. We rescued a cat 3 years ago who had to have her tail amputated after a traffic accident. She has trouble with her bladder and bowels. Sometime she floods and can get constipated. It's an ongoing problem. I hope Maggie is doing well bless her.
That's so sad, but bless you for adopting that poor soul. I'll help Maggie if she becomes incontinent, but I'm hoping she's pulling through 🙏
Hi Tanya, I sowed some asparagus from seed in spring 2021 the variety 'Connover's Colossal' of which I now have 18 plants (or crowns). I was able to cut one spear from each plant this year. Some plants are stronger, a few are a bit weaker and behind in size but should eventually catch up. I can start full cropping from next spring. I have been so busy in May and early June at the allotment almost every day and sometimes 4, 5 and even 6 hours a day at the allotment. I take sandwiches, a flask of tea or cordial and spend most of the day there occasionally and usually at least 2 hours there each day, I maybe miss obe day a week working at the allotment, now that I have fully retired from work and I turn 60 this coming Sunday 9th June (which I can hardly believe).
More time for gardening, then! Happy birthday and retirement 💚
Your puppy looks about the same size as our black long haired German shepherd working dog. But my pup’s ears are still floppy he was born in February. He likes to dig a cool spot in the garden to lay down and rest when he gets tired of waiting for us
It was fascinating watching Josie's ears lift. It was one, then the other made it up shortly after but then flopped back down. We thought it was broken 😆 but one day weeks later it popped back up! GSDs are such great dogs - as I'm sure you well know with your boy 😍
213k...Very nice work...I have subs
so how is the puppy getting along with Maggie? and thrilled Maggie is recovering!!
Maggie is reserved, but Josie wants so much to be friends 🤪
❤❤❤ 🫱🙏❤ nice video 😊
Hi Tanya!
Glad to hear goods news about Maggie. Hopefully this will teach her to not wonder off.
I'm curious Tanya, do you or have you, grown sweet corn on the IOM?
I grew up in a family owned nursery here in the states and in August the Dutch salesmen used to stop to get our tulip order for delivery in February. They always came home with Dad for a grilled steak and sweet corn supper. They never ate corn before and were shocked that it was on the table. Back then corn was strictly pig food in the Netherlands. Funny thing, they all loved sweet corn. This was in the late 1960s.
Sweet corn is hit or miss here, especially with the wind. I have to stake each plant when I grow corn! As for food culture, corn, especially on the cob, is not as much of a staple in Europe as it is in the States. Sweet corn usually comes pre-cooked in plastic packaging for cooking on the occasional BBQ. I know - crazy.
People dont stop when they hit an animal. So what happened and how did you find Maggie? Ohhh goodness my heart… please give Maggie hugs and kisses from me! xxx
She fortunately was able to limp home. I hate to think what would have happened if she was hurt and unable to move 😢
Honestly a catery is a great idea. You can design miles around your garden. She just won’t wonder off and get hurt. Sounds like the car just nicked her back end. So many ideas and designs of cateries even hanging ones and she can be in and out. Saved her and the heart break!

See if Maggie would be satisfied with a "catio" for her, she can go out, watch (probably in frustration) birds and passing animals, yet stay away from traffic. Some feral cats don't seem to mind as long as they have perches, toys, and of course food.
It's scary when animals are injured, they can't tell us how they're feeling.
My container garden is slow, even for being a semi-shaded garden. Two weeks of cool cloudy weather isn't helping. 🇨🇦
Yes, I have a small "catio" for my 2 cats that exits thru an upper window. One cat prefers & sits out there for hours. The other I put a collar on him and walk him on a leash. He really only wants to make his "rounds" then goes back inside to the "catio" or the window bed. Takes 5 mins max.
I've got to find out which variety of strawberries you're growing. I'm also in zone 10b and I haven't had much luck.
I grow Honeoye, Malling Centenary, All Summer Fruiting, and a few others. They like conditions here...mild temperatures and lots of rain!
Hi, so glad that Maggie is recovering. Thank you so much for showing the up date of your garden. I have a question relating to sweet potatoes. I am growing it for the 1st time this year. Is it so that you can pick some of the leafs, but still harvest bulbs later on? Or is it just growing it for bulbs or for leafs?
You can grow it for both edible leaves and tubers if you are reserved with taking leaves.
@@Lovelygreens Thank you!
Just build your cat cage run !
It wouldn't work for Maggie - she's always wanted out since a tiny feral kitten and HOWLS. It would be cruel to keep her in.
Pease update us on Maggie!
There's an update in the video - me bringing her home from the vets and letting you know what happened 💕
Thank you
Anyone who has adopted a cat that lived outdoors will understand - you can't keep them in or your life is miserable with the whining and scratching and pawing at the door. They need their garden fix as much as we do. ha ha. I'm so glad she is ok.
Exactly 💯 The catio brigade are well-meaning, but it's not possible. It would be cruel to Maggie and make our lives difficult. It's the equivalent of pandemic lockdown for people.
