Welcome to our small suburban garden where we grow heaps of fruit and veg, and flowers and generally enjoy our garden. We're Eli and Kate (to be honest, mostly Eli) who share their gardening days in the form of upbeat vlogs in our Scottish garden. We basically aim to share our love of our garden. So grab a drink, relax and come enjoy our garden with us.

Garden tools you THINK you'll need, but actually you won't
We all buy gardening tools when we first start gardening, but just how many do we still use once we are experienced gardeners?
We're going to have a look at some of the tools I've bought over the years and talk about what does and doesn't still feature in my garden. To help with this, I've asked Emma from @GardenofEmma to join in and talk to us about the tools she uses on her allotment so we can compare.

Is It Worth It Growing Tomatoes Outdoors in the UK?
Просмотров 6 тыс.Месяц назад
Growing tomatoes outdoors in Scotland and getting a good harvest of ripe tomatoes seems like a dream most of us can't achieve, but I learned something last years that is a game changer for this. Let's talk about how the tomatoes you choose to grow make a difference and not in the way you think.

The tomatoes and peppers are in and we are good to go! Because we garden to make use of every bit of space, we have to flip the greenhouse around a couple of times a year to accommodate what we are growing. Today we flip it to get the tomato plants and pepper plants in their final homes, the quadgrow pots self watering planters. Catch @bethanskitchengarden video: ruclips.net/video/8uduMH28AuQ/в...

What a great video! Thanks!
Ron needs a hori hori! That is just his type of tool. I on the other hand need the flame thrower. The weeds in the neighbour’s driveway are way too time consuming to work by hand. And yes, I have permission to garden and tend to the neighbour’s property. 😁😁😁
What are the white flowers on the fence?
spray paint the handles of the hori hori knives a florescent orange. You will find them easier.
Lol 😂 Fab video. I'm definitely team hori hori, especially after changing all my veggie beds from in-ground to raised. My husband is team 🎸 😊 Having said that, I have ONE hori hori, he has about 15 guitars 🎸 !!!
This was such a fun video!
I love this video. It’s exactly what I’m looking for to sharpen a pair of gardening shears I have. However, you didn’t tell us what the name of that tool is that you keep in your pocket to sharpen tools as you’re in the garden. What is it called? I want to buy one. Thank you.
Fab video Eli and Kate and So many tools that we use but only rely on the one as the go to tool. 😂
😂 Kate!! 😂 My husband loves scarves by the bejaysus out of me too😂
Thanks Emma i have the little weed puller but never knew thats what you do to get the weed out, it came in a set of threee hand tools i used it to dig and thought useless….haha. I wonder where i put it, no wonder it was hopeless. Fun video Elly & Kate
It’s one of those tools I think that you look at and really don’t know what to do with but it’s great for getting dandelions and its roots. They won’t come back
It's fascinating seeing tools from other areas of the world! The thing you and Emma call just a "hoe" is a shape I've never seen before, and the shape I know as a hoe is more similar to Emma's "draw hoe", which is a term I've never heard before! The one I know is mostly used for chopping down through clods and truly stubborn weeds...although I don't have one myself. I don't actually buy tools until I have a specific need that I can't accomplish with what I already have. I'm definitely taking notes for things I might want in future, such as a hori hori, and now a flamethrower like Kate's! And a fork that's strong enough not to bend out of shape when I find an unexpected tree root has been on my wishlist forever. But so far I don't have any tools of my own that I don't use.
I have the flame thrower on my list of tools to get too. Will be super handy on the weedy patio
@@GardenofEmma Yes, exactly! Because I am *_SO DONE_* with standing on my head to pull them, but I won't use glyphosate, and MiL won't use vinegar...
If only we saw Kate's facial expression! 😅 your reaction 😅. Lots of love to all and for those in the states Happy 4th of July
I barely use my shovel to be honest! It’s funny how everyone has different ways of working. I use my pickaxe waaaay more than the large shovel, it’s so much quicker to move and break up a large amount of soil. I also use my hoe to stir my compost heap. I bought a couple of wet willies as a joke, but very quickly realised how amazing they are for being very precise with where I plant my seeds. I use them when potting and sowing all the time! The penknife and blade sharpeners are also used loads. What about the trusty watering cans, wheel barrows, buckets and knee pads? Things I couldn’t live without! The knee pad doubles as a small stool, and I also use it as foot stool to reach just out of reach places. Very handy! Things I don’t use as much as I thought: soil moisture and ph checker, the sieve, the large fork, the stiff rake (I use the leaf rake more)
Oh my pocket knife is a top tool for me too
Brilliant
Ha ha ha high praise 😁
Hilarious and informative, enjoyed it immensely 😂
Glad it gave you a chuckle
Ohhhh need a hori hori knife ..what a good piece of kit 👌
It’s fab So many tools in one
Fun video ❤ Love you guys.
Nice dibble. My hubby made me one from an old croquet stick.
I have only a back garden. No lawn. Got every tool there is though. Small sledgehammer (for crushing biochar charcoal). 35 gardening knives/pen knives. One houri houri (too beautiful to get dirty😂). No lawn mower. Small chainsaw for chopping wood up. Most expensive - big compost bin 1200litres (useless: broke when full. Now gorilla-taped up to threequarter size). Shredder for leaves I collect from the woods nearby. Old water butts = planters. 2 plastic compost bins full of leaves - one shredded, one not shredded, big wire leaf bin. #LikesGardeningLovesComposting😂😂❤❤
That’s a serious stash!!!!!
I loved this! Kate with the guitar and flame burner! We used to have an allotment and used different tools. I have previously taken your recommendations for hand tools, also the sharpening tool. I keep my essentials in my little sit on cart (got two) with wheels, saves the bending when you get to a certain age! The sheds are full of tools etc..that we never use! I'm forever looking for some gloves for small planting / repotting..that fit and are lightweight and flexible so I can feel what I'm doing. I just can't seem to find any that fit, again I'm small handed like you. Eli are your gloves like that or more substantial? Thanks for a wonderful vlog. 😊🎸🔥
That sounds exactly like my gloves. I love them
@@eliandkate Wonderful, thank you! I'm on the hunt for them now. 🙂
My daddy mowed our half acre of grass with a push mower and edged with scissors. ❤
It’s hard work
Ho’in ain’t easy. 😂
😂😂😂
Got my first zucchini out of the garden this year and first peppers this morning.
Woohooooo bring on the harvests
I have orchards and big trees and hedges. So i have hedge trimmers, chainsaw (now my housemate has moved out, i need to learen to use it!) mini chainsaw, 2 kinds of long extendable loppers, a claw basket on a pole (for picking apples. I can climb well, but I've fallen off ladders too often because the ground gives way) . I also have fencing tools like wire cutters and pliers. As well as most of the stuff you have! My gamechanger this year is a pull along garden truck with fold down sides. Much better than a wheelbarrow for "stuff" rather than soil or compost.
So that’s a whole speciality basket!!!!!!! 😁
I peed myself laughing when Kate walked across the garden with the electric guitar lol👍
I dread to think what’s she thought she was doing 😂😂😂
@eliandkate you and Kate are hysterical! Thanks for the humor with all this especially for a first year gardener like myself.
😂 johnspence, I so totally agree!
Yay Telecaster, yay cats. Don't garden without them!
Indeed 😂😂😂😂
Pruning saw, swoe, muck fork, border fork and spade, lump hammer and sack truck instead of wheelbarrow less lifting quarter acre garden with raised beds for fruit and veg.
Oh I love the look of sack trucks, so useful 👏👏👏
@@eliandkate easier to store get one with an extender base carry lots of bigger items
I still have tools that belonged to my dad and wouldn't part with them for the world but my hori hori is the most used tool. As for gloves I have dozens of pairs but my leather gauntlets are the best.
That’s fab… a lot of ours belonged to the old couple who lived here before us
Better than Laurel and Hardy,you to. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Pauline… you’re meant to say how professional we are 😂😂😂😂
Great collab video. I use an ice scoop for shovelling soil, might use a screwdriver for weeding if I have my work trousers on. Thing is, I plan to get a garden and the place I get most of my seeds also sell a ploskorez, aka a Fokin hoe, no joke, as the inventer is called Vladimir Fokin. It's a Russian flat-cutter for digging, weeding, cutting high grass/weeds. And I feel I want one, but wonder if I really need it.
Isn’t that always the way? Want versus need 😂😂😂
Fantastic video ....love your sense of humour & fun .... Its very true though .... if you have a garden ....you do tend to only use certain tools ..... How often do you clean /maintain your tools please ? 😊😊😊🌻🌻🐝🐝
Truthfully…. Only our secateurs get any love, the rest gets ignored 😂😂😂
@@eliandkate Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️
Love the T-shirt... Peter Capaldi best Dr of all 🌠
Noooooo Tom Baker was my Dr but I think David Tenant was the best 😁😁
😂😂❤❤Kate’s so funny! I have a 2 acre property so I have a riding lawn tractor, unmotorized mower, hand trowel, shovel for planting larger potted plants, hand rake, snips/scissors, lopper for branches, and rake for mulch. Storing tools - now that’s a challenge cause some are in a box, the garage, and the greenhouse. When people give me ‘new’ tools I usually gift them to other gardeners cause even my hori hori doesn’t get a good work out.
2 acres and you don’t use all the tools????
@@eliandkate No, every tool has a purpose, but I always find myself going back to the same 2-3 tools (or bare hands). I gave my aunt claw gloves that I had been gifted 2 Christmas’ in a row and she loves them. I’ve never used mine.
@samanthahoos9827 oh I completely understand that one
I'm thinking about a cheap electric lawn scarifier to get rid of moss have you ever used one and could you do a review to stop blisters😊
Oh we borrow a neighbours and it’s marvellous Kate is shouting, “ it’s totally worth the cost”
❤❤❤👍@@eliandkate
I got a hoe but don't think I ever used it. Also à couple of those claw things, also never used. Lawnmower? 2 one electric and one manual but no lawn anymore. My shed needs a serious declutter.
If you got rid of that lot you could have a wee potting up area?? 😂😂
@@eliandkate Nah, the rickety shed might fall apart if I clear all the rubbish out. Seriously.
Great video really enjoyed it, you can never have enough tool that you don't use or need 😁😁
So true Steph
Enjoyed the video 👍 nice to see Emma and interesting the different tools people prefer and need to use, we only have a front and back garden i lkve my hand tools and sectors i adore but my husband's are shovel spade lawnmower and strimmer there the most used but i ❤ having them all just incase for that job🤔
Glad you enjoyed it and it sounds like you are very similar to us
The guitar?
I know!!!!!
I vote for the Hori Hori you forced me to buy.
‘Forced’ 😂
ha ha ha I FORCED you!! I force you to buy a lot of stuff
@@eliandkate You mention it and I have no choice. Unless it is just a flower.
@Bob-bo8ik 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
My shed's bigger than your shed!.....You should see the junk in it!
Kate would have a much bigger shed if she could :D
@@eliandkate If she let you move your greenhouse, She would have room for a much bigger shed. Just a thought
@Bob-bo8ik she actually wouldn’t, her shed is bigger than the space the greenhouse is in, but nice try
Can admit to getting a hori hori and....yeah.... it's a nice to have. A nice flat shovel/spade to remove a sod layer is great too if needed. Pitchfork and ho. 1 million tomato clips for 40 tomato plants. Oh and all of the seed starting supplies needed to start a small army. Other than that....I'm not sure... I'll have to watch to see if anything stands out.
yes the 1 million tomato clips!!!
Kate, let Eli get a second greenhouse and put it where your shed is! 😂
😂😂😂😂
Hi Eli I just happened across this while researching rose sawfly larvae. I don't mind a "tax" on the plants because I'm aware of a healthy balance, but I've gotten a little bit proud of our new Tea Hybrid Rose. It's dosed with the aforementioned and turning some of the leaves into lace jerkins. I'm afraid it's next stop is the blooms. Normally I'm a fan of just picking the little buggers off by hand, but larvae are tiny and legion. I've heard of this stuff on a few videos and wondered if it's worth a go. I think you might have just sold me on it. Thanks for the informative video. P.S. - Weed burners are very therapeutic!
Ha ha ha Kate would agree
Congrats!! I totally misinterpreted the video title 😂 I thought you had some wonderful use for the thick lettuce stalks that develop if you pick lettuce leaves as they grow. I’ve got a bit of a monster left as it just kept growing more leaves and growing taller!
Oh I think we’ve all had lettuce bolt on us 😂😂😂 I usually take the centre out and use it and then let it regrow… no point wasting it 👍
The nuking method is brilliant!!! Thank you.
Hopefully it’ll make life a bit easier
Haha aww I was wanting for a dance off there 😂 💚🫶🏽 brilliant
😂😂😂😂
I know I need a new shovel! I broke my favourite one the other day out in the garden while using it. The handle snapped in two and gouged my leg: I got a huge blood sample from the scratches and now lovely colours of black and blue are showing up. 😢😂😂
Oh ouch!
Sounds painful 😢 It sounds like you definitely need to treat yourself to a nice new shovel ❤
