This week I’m planting quite a few new plants in the allotment garden including ‘Marketmore’ cucumbers, Chocolate mint, a pink lavender, and sunflowers that only grow about three feet tall. I also show you how I’m growing them all with inexpensive DIY ideas. A pallet support for the cucumbers and a repurposed plant pots to keep the mint from getting too invasive.

Also, I don’t want to be confusing but Lavender and Lavandula are the same thing. In my mind I was thinking French and English varieties but in the video it came out wrong. Hey ho, everyone makes mistakes 🙂

In this video:
✽ Building a cucumber pallet trellis
✽ Tips on planting mint in the garden (so as to stop it spreading)
✽ Planting a French lavender variety called Lavandula ‘Bandera Pink’
✽ Using dwarf sunflowers to disguise a leggy lavender
✽ Planting parsnips grown in modules

Questions for you about the video:
✽ What do you think about the cucumber pallet trellis and how do you grow your own?
✽ Are you battling slugs and snails at the moment? If so, what are your most effective ways for keeping them from destroying your vegetable garden?

Thanks so much 🙂 PS — I’m trialling them right now after reading a great review of them in the press. So far they’ve been catching a few slugs but as I say in the video, I’ve not had as much of a problem with them this year. Touch wood!
