Hey everyone, it's gardening with Ben here
0:02
So we're going to be creating an allium display down at the allotment
0:07
We're going to be planting them today in October, ready for them to start blooming next year
0:13
And the best thing about aliums is that bees absolutely love them
0:17
So if you want to attract the bees to your allotment, which we need to do to help with pollination and help with our crops
0:23
get some aliums planted. And the best thing about aliums is that when they die off
0:28
You can chop them off and use the displays as dried flowers in your vases, etc
0:34
And they look absolutely stunning. So we've got 100 bulbs to plant today, which is a lot of bulbs
0:41
They're all different varieties of aliens. I would say the names, but I can't because they're too hard to say
0:47
But these are the ones that we've got if you can read it. So we're going to get these all lined up and in position and then we'll plant them all
0:58
today and get them planted and get them growing ready for next year so let get them all positioned So these are all the bulbs The bigger the bulbs the bigger the head will be on them
1:09
the bigger the flowers. So we need to get these positioned and get them lined up and ready to plant
1:15
So we've got them all positioned out. So now we just need to get them all planted deep enough
1:20
so that they're protected and they can start growing. We've left a bit of space at the front so that we can plant some tulips
1:27
later on. So yeah, let's get these in the ground. So now we've got all them planted in this area
1:36
So fingers crossed, we'll have a fantastic display next year of them
1:40
So we've got them all planted now. So hopefully come next year
1:45
they'll look absolutely gorgeous. That's if the squirrel doesn't eat them. Fingers cross, we'll net them over
1:50
possibly to stop the squirrel from digging them all up. But yeah, make sure to give us a follow
1:55
Give us a like. leave a comment and stay tuned for when they come up in springtime when we'll be sharing the videos then as well
2:02
until next time remember keep smiling keep shining and keep gardening with an end up
