- It's by far the sunniest day we've had this spring in the home garden, bright blue skies and temperatures forecast to be in 20s! It's time to share an update on how things are progressing and to start planting up my vertical pallet collar bed and some containers!
I'm going to be sowing some really special seeds that were sent to me by my good friend Robin be sure check out her video linked below which goes into more detail about this new vegetable! 👇
I hope you enjoy and look forward to chatting with you in the comments!
All the best Laura ☀️

Garleek, eh? Exciting!
And I'm both amused and delighted to see your friend Robin wearing a tee shirt from the Great Lakes Brewing Company which is in my old stomping grounds of Cleveland, Ohio!
Much gardening love from Northeast Ohio! 😊💚💚💚💚💚😊
So exciting BHalliwell, anything with garlic or onion flavour and I am there! Oh that's so cool, what a small world!! 🍻
Have a great day 💖☺️
@@thetinygarden_ It will be very interesting to hear what you think of the Garleek!
It is a small world, isn't it!
Thanks, and to you, too.
😊💚💚💚😊
Coucou 👋🏻
Encore une belle vidéo 😊
A bientôt
Thank you so much ♥️
@@thetinygarden_ de rien
Nice! I can't wait to get the big harvest... tomatoes peppers, beans that's when I know it's summer!
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
Thank you lovely 🤗
Greetings from Ireland, Great veg set up, Its the bees knees.
Hey Nicholas 👋 I love it when I find othe gardeners in Ireland!! Thanks so much, I've still the tomatoes to pot up and then the home garden will be pretty much set for the season and I can focus on the allotment, fingers crossed we get a good summer 🌞
Everything is looking so healthy and green! Very exciting to see the baby cherries on the tree
Those onions! 😱❤️
All of those seedlings! What a great selection. I love that your volunteer potato is getting a couple of friends 😊
Isn’t the Sweet Garleek exciting!? I hope it does well for you. Really looking forward to the results.
Love your updates. Always a delight 🤗
Hey Clare 👋 thank you so much! So nice to finally see green and a few pops of colour!
I am obsessed with the onions such a good over wintering project! Roll on summer! Xx
Ah this looks amazing! It’s so hard keeping up with both garden and allotment - everything is looking incredible! You should be so proud! X
Hey Blahblam 👋 thank you ♥️ the allotment is thriving with beautiful weeds right now after the bit of rain we had the last two days 😕🤣 x
Thank you so much for the great video greetings from Africa Uganda
Thank you!
@@thetinygarden_ you're so welcome I'm from Africa Uganda have you ever visited in Africa? Nice to meet you where do you come from?
Hey laura im loving your trays of seedlings ❤they spark joy 😊😊
Thank you Stella, so satisfying a full tray of baby plants 🤩 x
Net the cherry tree now if you want to save your future harvest from the birds! I've lost my cherries to the birds for last many years running because I never get around to putting the netting setup over my cherry trees before the birds have decided that the fruit are ready 😅
Hey ErraticPerfectionist 👋👋 I have some small organza bags I use for the raspberry, but such a good idea I just popped outside and noticed my phlox and pansies have been uprooting and stems pinched off 🥺
Can't wait to see you try those garleeks.😊
Me too!!! Can't wait! 🤩
Always look forwards to your happy smiley videos thanks for the content
Thank you so much Sarah ♥️ so glad you enjoy the videos! I hope you're having a lovely week!
@@thetinygarden_ it’s been a rainy week I had to sow seeds in torrential rain lol
@sarahsallotmentjourney 😳 oh no!! That is dedication Sarah! It will pay off 🤞🙌
A really nice video Laura! You have a very calm editing style! Love it 😊
Thank you Pammie ♥️ so glad you enjoy them, they are fun to make too! I do just love staring at my plants and admiring them 😂😆x
@@thetinygarden_ that is so satisfying! And making your first harvest is thrilling!! lol
One of my fav channels. You had such great growing results.
Wow, thank you! That is so lovely of you to say Rebecca 😊🤗
Happy gardening 😊
Thank you DN lovely to hear from you 🤗
Hi Laura, new subscriber here! I found you via Audrey’s live the other day 😊👍 Your garden and allotment are looking great and I’m sure you are going to have some fantastic harvests this year. Also … your dog is gorgeous ❤️
Hey Willow 👋 thank you so much for subscribing and taking the time to write me a lovely comment! 🤗 I hope the weather stays good, I have just started harvesting salad every couple of days! I must sow more seeds as I am running out of plugs! That's Roo 🐾 She loves the garden, she spends her days mostly squishing things that I have just planted or chewing bamboo and woodchips 🤭❤️ xx
Make sure you let some of the garleeks go to seed so you have seed for next year 😊
Hey Laura 👋 if I can resist eating them all 😂
Wow Laura , so much planting . Wish I had a neighbour like you all mine aren’t interested in gardening :( . Good luck with the leeks . Tfs so enjoying your videos . ❤
Thank you Mari! It's so nice to have friends near by interested in gardening, it's my favourite thing about the plot, so many people around that love to garden 🏡 so glad you enjoy the videos ♥️
Woah! So cool! 🧄 I am with you - anything garlicy / oniony / leeky.. then I am in! 🤣 Very excited to see how they grow and what you think of the taste! Love seeing your home garden too 🥲💖
Thank you Seren 🤗 garlic is my fav!! ❤️
Totally agree wverything is bursting into life. We had 3 days of major heavy rain 🌧
I was juat saying to carl pur garlic chuves looks so beautiful.
My cherry had blossom but no cherries this yesr
Onions bulbing up class.
Strawberries 🍓 yeyyyy
Looking fwd to see how potatos go.
Love the salad bed we have just made one for our home garden.
Hey Tracey 👋 thank you so much ♥️ I think that rain just came our way, two days of rain so far 🥹 I must buy some garlic chives I think I would love them! I've always had trouble with my trees fruiting so it would be nice now if I get something 🍒!
Thrilled with the onions, so worth the over wintering project on those! I am going to do them again and sow some like you and Carl did early in the season as well 🤩 now I have the space I can't wait for garlic and onion planting! Xx
Sarpo Mira are really blight resistant, I've seen other varieties wiped out and the Sarpos still standing tall . Excellent flavour and they store exceptionally well too .
Never heard of garleeks before, will be watching your progress and taste trials .
They do taste good don't they, I was surprised actually! I got brown spot quite bad last year but no blight I was thrilled! I hope I get a good harvest so I can share them with my plot friends. Garleeks are new to me too, I can't wait for the taste test Audrey is growing them too!
Great update Laura, love the sound of Garleek and look forward to seeing your progress with it. Fingers crossed for a decent harvest with the left over potato🤞🏻. Have you considered carrots for spent compost too? I would think they could also do well, as they do better in poorer soil and the structure of compost seems to be ideal for their growing requirements. Really pleased to see your cherry tree doing well. I have failed miserably the last few years with masses of early blossom and poor pollination. I think most bees were still asleep at the time of flowering and then a battering of high winds here on the SE coast. So I can totally relate to how pleased you are. 😊
Hey Kaz 👋 I can't wait for the garlic flavours!! I didn't realise they liked poor soil! If I don't get any harvest of carrot this year I am going to do them all in square buckets with sand mixed it and I will take your idea of using the spent compost! Carrots are my total bug bear at the minute!!
I have the same issue as you but with my plum tree, masses of gorgeous bloom but I think this is too early and I don't get any fruit! I was given a gardening book published back in the 70s and it has tips on fertilising trees that don't fruit so I am going to study that and see what I might learn!
@@thetinygarden_ Hey Laura🖐️. Hopefully you’ll find some tips in the gardening book and report back.
I found carrots to be hit and miss in my raised beds, but put some last year in some spent compost in a large Elho black planter 😂 and was surprised by the results, as I didn’t amend the soil with anything. This year they’re back in a bed and keeping my fingers crossed, as Squash now in the planter🤞🏻.
Hey Laura, sun looks awesome. The lettuce etc should do well in that bed. My spinach is bolting 😢 the weather has just been all over the place. Beet germination was great but I’m terrified the leaf miner gets them as it’s got my chard already. You can still eat bolted pak choi. Was lovely here yesterday and rained today and cold. Hope our garleeks do well too bad we can’t save seed. Have a super weekend, Ali 🌥️🌧️🌧️🇨🇦
Hey Ali 👋 isn't it so nice to see the sun and blue skies! I can't wait to harvest home grown salad, it's been so long! Leaf miner got my beets last year too it's awful isn't it 😭 I did not know you could eat bolted pak choi, that's handy to know as they are still in the cell tray 😆
It is a shame we cant save the seeds but I am excited.to try growing them! Have a super week I hope the sun starts shining for you!! Xx
Looking forward to seeing how the garleek goes, does sound yummy 😋. The exact details are a bit fuzzy on them from what I've read. It's made to sound like they are a cross but I'm not entirely unconvinced that it isn't a garlicky tasting leek. Doesn't really matter either way 😅🌱👍
Hey Joe 👋 so interesting you mention that! On the tour of the site I did last week with the plot neighbours, I was eating raw three cornered leek and that was very garlicky, so I know those flavour combinations are already out there! Let's see if I can grow them first...the pot was looking a little crispy today from all the sunshine 😆 🫣
From my understanding the breeder chose out and bred the leeks that had a natural garlicy flavor to them. It took about 10 before they could bring it to market. It's quite fascinating.
Garleek sounds great fun. O think garlic chives are also derived from leeks though.
They are certainly interesting, I must get down garlic chives I reckon I would love them! I had three cornered leek at the allotment the other week and it was garlicky and delish!!
Oh gosh, joy to see you Laura. Joy to hear your lovely healing voice too.
Hey Lynn always so lovely to see you comment on the videos ☺️
You have a great selection of seedlings going. It has been hard to get things going for most of us what with the rubbish compost and dodgy seeds and ridiculously sporadic weather.
You summed it up in a nutshell, the weather by far has been most challenging! I have sown a good few packets and nothing has materialised, I keep at on sowing and keeping my fingers crossed. Carrots and basil are my bug bear at the minute!!
Sweet Garleek, thats definitely a new one on me Laura so i am looking forward to seeing how they do. I love Roo, shes lovely. Looks like you are going to be getting some lovely cherries this year. Now get back down the plot 🤣🤣🤣. Great video Laura 👍
🤣🤣 the plot is blooming with nettles and weeds Jimmy never seen it looks so vibrant 😆😆
Roo loves being outside with me, once I get the gate fixed up at the plot I'll be able to bring her back up there with me!
Omg, sweet garleek!!! I'm so excited to see how that grows and tastes! ❤️❤️ Everything is looking so good Laura, the cherry tree in particular, looks like you'll get a blimin nice harvest there 😁. Aww summers really on its way!! Eekk!
Hey Lorna 👋 I can't wait to taste the Garleeks!! It really feels like summer is here blue skies, sunshine and bird tweeting it's so so nice!! Hope you are keeping well and your home garden is coming on nicely 🤗❤️
Garleeks? Something new for me. Another plant to add to my list. So glad your weather is better Laura! You are a busy bee in the garden. It’s exciting to watch. Thanks for sharing, Cindy
@@thetinygarden_it is really starting to feel like it, most things are out in the ground for me now, just waiting on my last order of compost to arrive to do the cucumbers and the last of the tomatoes that needs to go in growbags and my garden will be in full swing. That horrible neighbour moved yesterday too out of the blue from underneath me and a new tenant moved in the same day, who's lovely, so I'm finally totally safe out there too. I'm so ecstatic as it was so unexpected. I can thrive as well as the garden now 😁 this year's going to be epic Laura ❤️
The Garleek does sound exciting, Laura 😀 Love garlic flavours 💚 exciting grow along across the different gardeners 🥰
Your home garden is filling up already, and it is lovely to see the cherries 🍒 developing. Hopefully, the sun will be back with us soon.....next weeks' forecast is just dreadful 🫣💚🌿
Hey Maiju 👋 nooo don't say that about the weather 🥹🤣 it WILl be sunny and dry! I am excited about the Garleeks and being able to finally harvest some salad from the home garden!! 🥗🤩X
Sweet Garleek! How brilliant is this please. Excited to see how that turns out. Hopefully we’ll get more of that beautiful weather. Isn’t it nice that everything is just shooting up over the last few weeks. Enjoy your weekend Laura!
Hey Sandra 👋 I am excited to! I love garlic so much 🤤 🧄 so nice to see the garden warm up it was a long winter! Have a lovely weekend too ☺️ ♥️
i can not wait to see how your strawberry marigolds turn out , , have you thought about painting the walls in your gartden dark grey or black as it will turn your lil micro climate garden evening hotter , and it makes the green stand out so beautifully , i have done it in most areas and its so effective
Hey Shell 👋 I actually had more strawberry marigolds planted out, I came out earlier in the week and all the blooms had been cleanly sliced off 😳 I was so disappointed and then confused as to how that happened, some of my chive blooms were the same 🧐
I was going to paint it a lighter colour to reflect more light in the winter months but I didn't think do darker!! That makes so much sense now that you say it! I can't wait I hope the weather stays good 🌞🤞 xx
@@thetinygarden_ hmmm ive also had a few disapearances , i always think slugs but the caterpillars are out atm too those darn beautifull butterflys lol, but also the birds especially sterlings eat alot while nesting which should ease off a little towards the end of this month xx n yahh we need som summer xx
oh n leaf miner i have atm destroyed my aquilegia , i have a huge sycamore tree over my house which is not mineits in an elderly nieghbours garden and its actually awful it makes me sick in spring i have to stay in threw the day
Hi Laura 👋
Everything in your little garden is looking fantastic. Like you we have a walled garden and everything thrives. Hope your allotment is doing well. Have a lovely weekend take care Louise X
Hey Louise 👋 thank you so much it looks a little empty but once I get the pots for the tomatoes planted up 🍅 it will be full to the brim! Allotment is thriving with weeds 🤣 hope you have a lovely weekend too ♥️x
Hi Laura well another cracking video and i have to say that your back garden is looking the best i have seen it, however you haven't done what i suggested to the walls? and that was to paint some white emulsion paint on those walls and you will get some cracking heat off the suns reflection, but i'll let you off this once though, maybe you didn't like the idea?
Everything is just growing bloomin' marvellous at the moment and with all those Salad leaves along with your Onions as well.
Looking forward to seeing the Garleek growing but i wouldn't have done all of them, maybe half just incase something happens then you have the rest to grow, but hey i don't have any plus i would have only done so many to try out and see what they taste like. Take Care.
Barry (the Wirral, UK) xx
Hey Barry 👋 I couldn't have agreed more!! Why did I sow all the seeds!!! We had two really hot days and the pot got a little crispy and dry 😲 hope I haven't ruined any of the germination!! The pot is now inside so I can keep a closer eye on it!
The walls look terrible 🤫😆🫣 I'll get there!! Xx
Now I must track down these garleek seeds! I'm here in the States, and it's the first I've heard of them!!
Hey Stephanie 👋 I just linked the seeds form their website in the video description! I think you can buy the plant itself as well, at least I saw a link for Amazon grocery when I was searching! I hope you can get your hands on the seeds! 🤞 So excited to taste them!
@@thetinygarden_ Found it & ordered some! Thanks!!! I adore garlic, and this is my first year growing leeks. I'm really excited to see what these new seeds will grow up to taste like. 🙂
0:43 “Yes, yes, all is looking good here…”. Lol. Thank you for the video. Hope the garleek is fantastic!
That's it garden inspections were in full motion 🐾 thank you!!
Garleek? That’s new to me. I’ll add it to my list. So glad your weather has improved Laura. You are a busy bee 🐝 in the garden. So much fun to watch. Thank you for sharing, Cindy
Hey Cindy 👋 finally the sun and warmer weather is here! A welcome change from the wind and rain! I think the Garleeks will be so tasty 😋 so glad you enjoy the videos 🤩 big hugs from Ireland 🤗x
How does the moon red gem taste? I'm doing a red romaine this year that is yummy. The ones with some red in them seem too hold a little longer in the heat of our summers.
I am thrilled that you are as excited about the Garleeks as I am. I just love trying new release veg. The dang squirrels took out half of my badger flame beets.....arggggh!
Looking forward to Audrey's live next week even more than normal as you are the guest🥰
Red Romain wow that sounds awesome, red veg is so much more robust! The red gem is a lovely and even has a slightly sweetness to it!
I am so excited for the Garleeks, I just bought the pot inside and regret now sowing all the seeds incase I need to resow them!! So they are now next to my work station indoors so I can keep a close eye! Not the flame beets 😭 I saw the recipe for those on row 7s website it looks amazing! I'm sowing mine this week in cells!
Thank you so much ♥️ I can't wait for garden chats with her! Xx
Hi Laura, Good to see your tiny garden. It's looking great and lovely to see sweet Roo Boo enjoying her garden time also 😃. The garleek sounds delicious, I too just love the whole garlic,leek, and onion family,making my mouth water just thinking about it, lol 😆 Your cherry tree looks very healthy and for sure you have cherries on the go 🙂 My montmorency cherry 🍒 tree is full of cherries this year but I have 3 other varieties that are not cooperating 😲. Still waiting on my sweet dumplings to make an appearance any time now 🫣 Have a great weekend Laura, looking forward to your next video ❤
Hey Julie I just nipped outside to check on the sweet dumplings I have the initial plant on the go still just pushing a true lead and 3 more popped up since that second sowing!
They do sound lovely, I hope I can grow them well! I've seen some lovely recipes! Finally the cherry 🌸🍒 looks healthy! Haha 😂 I feel like that about my plum tree doesn't want to play ball! Hope you see some germination on those sweet dumplings soon!! Have a lovely day ☺️♥️x
Hi Laura, ooh those Garleek sound great don't they, looking forward to seeing how they turn out for sure. Busy week for planting out & preparing my two small raised beds, got rained off a few times though 😔 re potted two cucumber plants this morning, going to pickle some i think later on. Never grew cucumber before so hoping i get a harvest later, My Daughter in law likes it in water. Planted all my Zinnia's too this week, looking forward to seeing those, if they're going to be as lovely as last year's I'll be happy 😊 got some Oriental poppies this year too, they're so lovely, didn't flower last year with it being the first year so was chuffed when i saw a few blooming this week. Anyway have a lovely weekend love, bank holiday weekend here so guess what I'll be doing 😂 🥕 🥬 🥦 🥔 🌺🌹 xx
Hi Carol 👋 fingers crossed the Garleeks grow well 🤞 oh wow!! You have been so busy, cucumbers are so fun to grow you can get loads off fruit from one plant and it so rewarding! You're going to really enjoy it! Your daughter in law has good taste, cucumber and mint water is so nice!
Oh zinnias are so beautiful, gutted none of mine germinated! I didn't realise poppy's didn't flower in their first year, they are stunning though 🤩
I hope you have a lovely bank holiday weekend and the sun is shining for you 🌞 enjoy your weekend 🌸♥️ xx
Are you going to net the cherry tree? The birds love cherries
I probably won't haha netting is reserved for the allotment only 😂😂
Good luck with your sweet garleek they sound delicious,
Gorgeous dog his coat is so shiny 😍
Hey Elizabeth 👋 I hope they do well it was so hot the last few days the toplof the was a little dry so I might bring them inside to keep a closer eye on the moisture level! Maybe I should have held back some seeds 🫣
That's Roo she's so shiney, her mum was the same! I thought she might loose her shine as she got older but she hasn't!! 🤩
@@thetinygarden_ she's gorgeous 😍
The pallet collar bed is fantastic 2 tiers and the side looks fantastic!!
Thank you Anne I really hope it works there! 🤞🤞so glad you like the look of it!
As i undersyand it doesn't elephant garlic have a taste of a cross netween garlic and leek.
The garden is looking good 👍
Yes it does! I tried three cornered leek as well Carol and it was really garlicy! So nice can't wait the more garlic flavour the better!
This is what I need to learn! :)
Hey Tiny Steading 🙌 looking forward to hearing how your container growing goes!
Sweet garleek looks delicious!! Lovely to see what you’ve got growing at home. Can I ask a practical non growing question please… what mic do you use? 😃
Hey Dora 👋 thank you!! So looking forward to the Garleeks! Of course you can 🤗♥️ for windy days I use my rode wireless go 2, for sunny days I use my rode wireless go 2 with my rode lavalier 2 (just so my t-shirt doesn't get pulled down, the box can be a little heavy 🫣😅) and on my live streams or cooking I use my Sennheiser MK600 and then for voice overs I use the rode NT USB...I hope this helps you 🤞 I know it's a lot of mics but if you have any questions hit me up Instagram 🤗 ♥️xx
@@thetinygarden_ Very exciting! That is a lot of mics but thank you ever so much for sharing - I'm on my second inexpensive one to try but think it may be worth an investment soon as I'm finding the sound on my videos a tad tricky. Thank you!! 🙂 Happy gardening xx
Thank you Laura! How is your map working out? Have you made a lot of adjustments.? And do you have a specific planting calendar and / or journal? I am struggling with keeping track since I started two months ago. Glenna
Hey Glenna 👋 I have a hardback diary with all my sowing dates and planting out dates but it kind of went out of the window with slow spring, nothing went to plan 😆🤣 I do enjoy doing a dairy / journal plan, I think when university finishs I'll be able to give it a better go!
I find sowing the seeds most important for me, so as long as I have the seed started, I can figure space as the seasons progresses, if I forget to sow the seeds I have no plants!!
My map for the garden is on track for the long patio raised beds, and pallet collars for the most part, I am just missing that early salad harvest due to the weather being so bad! The allotment plan has done a complete 180° change and I am constantly changing my mind 🫣😆 I'm trusting in the process 🤞 keep going ♥️ x
Hi just wondered where you purchased the small pallet collar from, thank you.
Hey Anita I am not sure where you are based I got them on the way to Dublin one day from Johnstown Garden centre in Naas xx
Hi Laura, how far to run up to ur allotment?
Hey Susan 👋 it's not far it's about 15-20 min spin in the car but I had been looking after my neighbours plot so it would have saved me a job with the watering!
Can you tell me how do you control slugs ?? I've given up, the little blighters just eat their way through everything !!
Oh no Jeannie 🥹 don't give up!! I have a terrible problem with them eating my carrots, I usually do a slug patrol after heavey rain 🚓 but there are so many tiny baby slugs I can't seem to find many this year. They eat the carrots but seem to leave everything else alone. They did have a go on my dahlias but I picked them off 🤦♀️😅
I do find planting things out that little bit bigger means they leave things alone it's only the smaller seedlings they are interested in...hence no carrots yet 😆 beer traps seem to be very good though, I haven't tried it yet half afraid Roo will tried and drink it 🤣
