Emma, to help with the slug problem you can make a moat for them. A plastic tray that holds water, a brick/stone in the middle and pop the seed tray on top. The slugs wont cross the water and will leave your plants alone. All the best Luke

@claresparkes585 Год назад

Your box plants are fine and healthy. That is just new growth 🌱

@twiktwwik3162 Год назад

I've watched your channel from the start. And I think you're brilliant! You have inspired me to not worry about my failures, but to keep going. Both your plot and your home garden look wonderful. Please keep us inspired. And thank you very much.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Oh thank you so so much for your support and so glad I’ve inspired you ☺️

@Thathippiekittykat Год назад

I loved watching these videos. The bit with the sunflowers made me chuckle 🙊

@vaishalic4 Год назад

Emma, like you I have struggled to get little seedlings from their pots to move them into bigger pots. I have found a way around this which might help you. Instead of using a tiny spatula, use the small wooden fork you can find in most super markets meal deal sections 😅 I have got plenty from there and now even have started to put the plant names on them. And when ready pot on, I use the fork to loosen the soil, hold the leaves and smoothly pull it out 😊 good luck

@sabirul-haq1154 Год назад

Brilliant idea. Thanks for sharing!

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

That’s amazing!!! I’ll pick one up next time I’m in the supermarket, thanks so much for this tip! X

What a beautiful garden, but if yours is tiny I don’t know what you’d make of mine, it’s much smaller. I don’t like weekends now as I have to wait longer for another of your vlogs but enjoying watching old ones xx

Emma, your tulips are absolutely stunning. I wasn’t a tulip fan until I saw yours that have mega petals. Wow! Sub’d today. Excited to learn from you. From across the pond…cheers from Tennessee! 👋🏻

Emma…I just watched a video about pine berries here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K7oc7cIfLXY.html. The location is Southern California. Thought you might be interested.

You are such a cute lady. The way you present things are mesmerising.

@MarieCB916 Год назад

Love your videos Emma. I was told when potting on, to be careful not to handle the actual stem of the wee seedling as it damages the plant. Hold the seedling by the wee leaves. Good luck with the sunflowers- a fav of mine so will be watching your progress with these. I am down in NZ so am autumn seed sowing just now for our coming winter.🌻

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

You’re absolutely right! But like Alice in wonderland, I give myself very good advice but very seldom follow it! 😂

Emma it’s so nice watching you in the garden why not put your seed trays in clear plastic bags it will stop your seedlings from being eaten at night love your tulips

@user-oo7kg9ew8s Год назад

As for the worn lawn, you could sow white clover which because of its nitrogen fixing properties will help grass grow whilst also forming a flowery garden carpet that bees etc love.

What I do is get some sort of tray fill with salt water put some bricks in the middle and put your small greenhouse on the bricks and away from the wall no problem with slugs and snails getting to your seedlins

@helenagreenwood2305 Год назад

I have the small colourful pots on my fence - last year I put petunias in them - this year I put winter flowering pansies in them - love tulips I have a few beautiful pots in front of my porch - just lifted the bulbs out and am planting summer bedding plants but slowly changing to bulbs which i can leave in permanently - much easier to just leave to themselves 🥀🌿🌷🌺 I have an out of control rose climber at the back which I've just cut right back it was really overtaking the place getting too big for it's boots 😆 I'm going to put something underneath - maybe forget-me-nots you've inspired me 🥀🌿🌷🌺 I live on the east coast (Whitby) so not sure if the sea air does actually affect what we can grow - we do get seagulls 🙄 but they're more interested in food than plants - I have lots of twittering birds in the hedges 🐦🐦🐦

Hey, Get some grow lights for the indoor plants 🎉🎉

@jamesgordon4754 Год назад

The boxus is just showing new growth, nothing to worry about. Give them a good feed with Tomorite, and again mid season and they will thrive. Try beer traps for the slugs.

@davenadainton4209 Год назад

Hi Emma. Lovely garden ❤. Just a thought regarding slugs in your greenhouse. If you place a tray on the shelf with some water in it. Add a small brick to the center of the tray, or 2 bricks to aid balance. Put your seedling pots on the bricks. The slugs won't cross the water to get to the bricks ,so can't get your seedlings x

That’s genius!!! Absolutely love that idea, I’ll give it a go! X

I think you’re doing an amazing job with your garden ‘cause it’s already a shining pearl 👏🏻 Don’t know if someone already said it but when you get leggy seedlings it could help if you repot them into a deeper pot (or a plastic bottle) covering the most of the “leg” with soil. Happy gardening 😊🌼🐞

Emma, your garden is beautiful 🤩...the box tree caterpillar was so widespread last year, and the year before, but last year they destroyed my whole box hedge😢 keep an eye on the plants and if you see them dying - the caterpillars may be there!... Snapdragons are antirrhinum x

Your box leaves are just new growth nothing to worry about.

@mollvandiepenbrugge9817 Год назад

@jol2805 Год назад

Hi, use copper slug tape around pots with seedlings. This should stop the buggers. As for the buxus, I think it's just new growth, mine is looking the same and wasn't under any attack last year. It's probably just fresh growth which will harden up and darken with time.

@TheGDJames Год назад

Seeing you use the shears on the grass paths and weeding in your previous allotment vlog, I was thinking of suggesting that you spend £3 on a kneeler pad from wilko, and now I find that you've got a posh kneeler, gratis from QVC.😀 I've had my kneeler pad for a couple of years, and my hot tip is not to remove the plastic wrapping that it comes in.

@eastcoast4233 Год назад

I’ve found it’s better to tip out the whole pot (such as for your leggy sunflowers) to break up the soil, rather than end up pulling on fragile stems. Pros and cons.

@elsaafox Год назад

I am having the exact same problem with my sunflowers atm even though they were in my conservatory! So I did the same, and put them in my little greenhouse outside, like yours but wooden… I looked the next day and they had completely wilted and died 😭 my partner left some in a little pot as ‘an experiment’ outside… and they seem to be doing better. Might have to bring them in, repot, and find a better windowsill 😂 fingers crossed us 🤞🏻🌻

@elsaafox Год назад

P.s. I actually seem to have had better look with copper tape around some pots than other natural slug deterrents. The only problem is it needs replacing from time to time.

@carolwhite6979 Год назад

Emma, if you could rig up a white board or a foil board behind them, It would reflect the light coming in the window from the back. Maybe use a cardboard box ? Cut off the side that sits against the window, and line the other sides with foil or white paper? like a light box

@rebabs Год назад

Hi Emma. Have you tried standing each of the legs of your small greenhouse in a tray of water. I know that slugs like damp, but they don't like water. You'll have to make sure that the green house is clear of slugs before you do it; otherwise, they'll just happily live in there.
