oh, Emma! .you do make me laugh! Thank you so much, I really needed that this morning! Growing poisons and your poly tunnel of death... complete with giant spiders! 😄❤️❤️❤️

@barbaraguzmics8293 6 месяцев назад

You are absolutely HILARIOUS !

@elinvikman5660 Год назад

Hahaha polytunnel of death! I love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello Emma, The problem I believe you're having with your blueberry plant is the soil. Blueberries need acidic soil to thrive, and I don't think the soil in your raised bed is sufficiently acidic. For best results, grow the blueberry plant in a medium-sized planter or pot, using ericaceous compost. I've grown them in pots from 30+cm diameter, and about 30+cm deep. A second or even third blueberry plant, will also help, doesn't matter which type, but if you can get a different variety, that would be great. I recommend 'Herbert', 'Chandler', 'Patriot' 'Top Hat', or 'Bluecrop'. Having another plant nearby will substantially increase yield. Hope this helps.

@rebeccazody1278 Год назад

Agree. Needs another blueberry plant

@elizabethpirie5050 Год назад

Thankyou I was considering growing in a pot knew about the soil they require but didn’t know about another plant improving yield I will now try and get more than a couple of plants ,I shall tell my sister too Thankyou again

@jonathanandbecky Год назад

I've started watching your videos with my 9yo autistic son who's proper into his veg gardening this year. He found this hilarious 😂

@andymatts8010 Год назад

Made my Friday watching you doing gardening your own unique way . Love the is it alive game 🤣 such fun

@annagoodwin7557 Год назад

Hi Emma if you just scratch the bark on your raspberry canes with your nail if it's green underneath you have life I'm sure it's o.k hugs

@meagera333 Год назад

Totally agree

@owens9705 11 месяцев назад

I binge watch these episodes your amazing an so intresting

@carolhodgkinson7411 8 месяцев назад

I love watching you, I’ve always been a plant it and see if it grows since my grandma told me when I was little that you like a plant put it in soil and water it and it will grow and generally they do until I get too fussy and then they die . I’m nearly 65 and I just enjoy my garden as it is in the moment.

@alexhuxley3355 Год назад

Always keep the Friday VLOG as it's the best - you herald the weekend.

@DuffPharming Год назад

What a great time you had today! Thanks for sharing. My daughter and I were in stitches of laughter. Good luck eating all those lettuces. Suppose it’s better than poison. Well done Emma. You are awesome.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Haha! If they all grow I'll be pretty happy to be honest (and surprised!) x

@mimilane9158 Год назад

Strulch smells gorgeous. I love your enthusiasm, and you use Wilko seeds. Fabulous shop. I thought that seed grown Rudbeckia wouldn't flower in the first year so I have not planted any. I saved lots of seeds from the garden last year. Hoping to grow echinacea from seed but it hasn't sprouted yet. I am work and your videos have made me smile. I love gardening so much and like you I cannot wait for the warm weather. I now have a plastic greenhouse in my lounge, full of cosmos seedlings. Also trying to grow helenium. X

@christinerees50 Год назад

Hi Emma ..I was checking.my gooseberry and blueberry bush and it made me think of yours ...to check if your blueberry bush has survived the winter ..with your thumb nail gently scrape away at the bottom of the stem ..it's should reveal a nice green stem .it's that's the case treat it to a top dressing of eracatous compost or an eracatous feed ...you never fail to put a smile on my face ...

@cassieinthegarden8560 Год назад

I love this, thank you for sharing!! I love your honesty and you really make me smile and laugh out loud. I love your idea of “is it dead or alive?” On your plot… I’m a little too afraid to do that on mine as it’s a bit close with some actual fellow plot holders, not just plants 🥴Happy growing! Xx

@lisadraisey1173 Год назад

Just found this channel it’s so funny and brilliant on every level 👍👍👍

@katysteele6069 Год назад

stick around for the ride Lisa! brightens up my week!

@frani172 Год назад

I'm starting a veg garden to help me cope with bereavement. I found you and it your approach is exactly like mine. Keep it up. You're doing amazing work by sharing your honest journey. pls don't eat rotten veg anymore though!!!

@brianking2554 Год назад

You need to grow your blueberry in a pot as they don't like ordinary soil it has to grow in ericaceous compost

@medwards5337 Год назад

Hi Emma, love your videos. Starting to get my plot organised for my first year growing. x

@jaayyeem Год назад

Me too, good luck x

@melvyn2946 Год назад

Fantastic vid Emma, Great to watch you gardening keep at it and you will improve

@bettyboop1691 Год назад

Emma, I just love watching what your up to, you do make me smile ☺

@justinedunne4395 Год назад

Hi Emma, saw some collapsable composter bags in Wilko today with a flap at the bottom to get your matured compost, 57 litre capacity, hope this helps 😊

@gittegibbons3359 Год назад

Hello Emma, I think that Blueberries need acidic soil.........

@dn744 Год назад

Yes, they do. I found this the hard way also. 👍

@FlavourlessLife Год назад

Lol, it's amazing how quickly garlic shoots up. Mine grew like 15 cm in about 4 days. They were in pots in a mini "greenhouse" tent thing and I think they got too hot tbh.

@Bexyboo88 Год назад

For your spider issues, perhaps you could try making and spraying some peppermint oil spray in your shed, apparently it can repel spiders and bonus is that it will make it smell lovely too :) Put some peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle, top up with water and a small amount of dish soap and spray all around your shed to create a repellent barrier that some spiders will steer clear of.

@cathgurney6112 Год назад

Brilliant

@annagoodwin7557 Год назад

Hi Emma I grow carrots in buckets as well as in ground always get good crop give it a try , also put some all year lettuce seeds in pot this week and put in plastic greenhouse fingers crossed.🥕🥬 Hugs

@redbaron1392 Год назад

Made me smile as always. About your Blueberry Bush... I got one this week and they like acidic (ericaceous) soil. You can buy it from garden centres as usual. I planted mine in a large planter so I can be sure it gets exactly what it needs. Fingers crossed!

@astraaj435 Год назад

The two mistakes that I did last year with my carrots: 1) didn't do thinly enough and then felt bad and indecisive to thin them out properly so there were places where they were too close together and having no proper space for each they didn't grow large enough, 2) I had some manure popped here and there and that's what carrots don't like and start "fork" - they grow split way and also not perfect in size (the manure can be done in autumn before but not in their time there in the bed). Other than that I've got amazing harvest of carrots last year - I never got before anything like that. Just like your parsnips last year :)

@dereknash3638 Год назад

As for your new Tulips they may be a later flowering variety, also your original tulips have obviously been in the ground longer and are well established. You new tulips are doing OK and will take longer to establish but will soon be as tall as the others. Carrots and turnips are best grown in loose, well-drained soil that has a good mixture of soil and sand, preferably void of stones, rocks or clumps of soil, which can cause them to grow crooked or branch.

@dn744 Год назад

Patent that name. Em's Mad game show 👍 " Is it dead, Or alive 🤔 ", contestants come on down.

@campingout3063 Год назад

its my first year growing at my allotment. this video has show me to just give it a go and throw the seeds into the grownd 😅😂

@wesccfc Год назад

Hi Emma , you videos are mint , not only full of helpful tips but also comedy gold which makes for easy watching. Can you do a video in reference to the pond please , how you made it what you do with it etc ❤ thank you

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

I think there should be an old video on my pond as I documented the whole thing. Think it's from 2020! x

@gilliandocherty53 Год назад

Starting my first vegetable garden this year. Thanks for all these videos. You always make me smile!

@susiespearing6165 Год назад

Well whatever you do dont do it like Emma ! Shes lovely and hilarious but the world's worst gardener 😂

@haakmaaraan6075 Год назад

Omg I had the same thing with some raddish at my plot…I took one bite and thought I was going to die…it was like a mouth full of petrol! 😂😂 WHY??? You had me in stitches!!

@Gotpaintinmyhair Год назад

I love the smell of strulch, never used it as cloche though

@raymondpearson2590 Год назад

Hi Emma this is what gardening is all about having fun while working love love your videos and best of all you always put a smile on my face thank you x

@MohamedFareedh Год назад

You can use a sharp knife to scrape the first layer of the stem. If it’s green, it’s alive if not probably dead

@flowers_and_yarn_ Год назад

Top tip... With carrots water the soil before you sow, otherwise the seeds might wash away x

@blumblam4813 Год назад

You crack me up! Who wants to offend shells on a Friday?! 😂

@robinroseberry Год назад

Oh my goodness Emma, I just found you on RU-vid and you had me laughing out loud, lol. I love your accent and your since of humor about gardening. I am from Lexington, NC and I have been watching a couple on RU-vid for over a year now they have a lot of informative video's if you want to check them out " Off Grid with Doug and Stacy" ! I will be back to watch more of yours soon. Thank you for sharing your gardening tips. Also I just watched your potato video and I am growing my first potatoes this year, wish me luck, lol.

@TheMrWoodsman Год назад

Emma you are my king of veggie gardener, stick it in the ground and be amazed what happens or not, life is full of fun and you are one that makes me laugh, have a lovely weekend and much love to you and your family.

@faith555buffy Год назад

OMG Emma you crease me up, but please please put some labels in this year!! I think you've just let the radishes grow for too long. I know sometimes mine haven't plumped up round and grown long instead. Prob best to take all those up and plant some more of your lovely bright lights xo

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Ah ok, thank you so much for the tip. I have planted more bright lights and they are just starting to come up x

@MissTropicalFlower Год назад

You are my type of gardener. You make me laugh so much🤣🤣🤣

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Thank you! x

@felicitywoodruffe4087 Год назад

Cut in half some fizzy pop 2 litre bottles and push over your beans to protect them from slugs and frost

@mygardenanddinosaurs Год назад

Broad beans will throw up another shoot if one dies so don't lose hope, even if the first shoots die.

@marianagy1041 Год назад

I've done "poison tasting" before. I thought I grew some rocket but turned out it was some weed.... Cannot wait for the 🌷🌷🌷

@carolineibbetson5395 Год назад

Emma my daughter and I plant carrots in huge pots so the carrot fly doesn’t get them and we get a good harvest every time x I sowed lettuce in dec and it’s just got it’s true leaf and beginning to get bigger xxx

@woutmoerman711 Год назад

Is it because of the height of the pots that carrot fly doesn't bother you?

@beverley1539 Год назад

Hiya Emma, always a nice visit with you. Oh we have snow again that’s why enjoy watching people like yourself so lucky you are able to grow throughout most of the year. I do like the shells rather pretty. Lol blessings luv have a great weekend southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

@moonchild6029 Год назад

Hi Emma Fabulous vlog as ever x I find that adding some Sharpe sand to the soils I'm sowing my carrots in helps them in many ways,they love loamy soil xx

@sarahriggall2876 Год назад

Hi Emma little tip to see if a stick is alive is with the finger nail scrap away a little bit of the bark and if it's green underneath it is alive if it brown it's dead .

@southernyankeebeauty15 Год назад

I also struggle to grow carrots I sowed some in the fall though and they are getting huge now that its warming up. Crossing my fingers they are bigger than last years which were size of my pinky finger lol. Also copper Pennys repel slugs too!! Adding some around my squash this year they got decimated by slugs last year

@katewoods5033 Год назад

You are now my favourite youtuber! So funny and authentic, thank you for sharing your allotment with us x

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Oh thank you! That's very high praise!! x

@sowingwild Год назад

If you're not sure if the 'stick' is dead, scratch off some of the stem with your fingernail or a pair of secateurs to the cambium layer, if it's brown, it's dead! If there's green it's alive ☺️

@billnorfolk08 Год назад

You need an acid soil for Blueberries they won’t get on very well in ordinary soil add ericaceous compost for them to flourish in either dug in at planting or grow in big pots with this compost. I enjoy watching you videos ,make me laugh wish someone on the allotment would come and give you some advice ,you may be lucky but still to early for carrots and parsnips yet .You are fortunate with your polly tunnel as this winter so far has been very quiet not a lot of wind ,shut the side flaps to stop wind getting in as in a strong gale it will be gone if wind gets inside.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Great advice, thank you so much. I'm hoping to get lucky with the carrots and parsnips. I have lots more seeds in case they don't make it! x

@lbevan232 Год назад

Thanks for the latest vid. Love all the ups and downs in equal measure as it reminds me it’s not just me! Lol! Thanks for all the effort you put in making the vids. Love seeing how things work out and if the same is happening on my plot. Thanks for keeping me motivated, still working my way through the old vids, up to autumn 2020 so far! 😀 Thanks Emma!

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Ah so glad my videos are inspiring you! Thank you for sticking around :) x

@peterellis1201 Год назад

Well done Emma your shed looks amazing at least you can see your little friends with 8 legs, you plot looks clean and tidy but your friendly cat could be the one who’s doing the digging , your beans 🫘 look good but keep a eye on the weather keep up the hard work take care be safe 🍓🍓

@petercross8871 Год назад

Hi Emma, can I ask if you have ever tried ''Carrot Tops'' in your salad's, yes the Green feathery bit... I cut the top of my Carrots from the garden and add them to my compost, but in the kitchen, when I trim a carrot for eating or cooking, the slice off the top I put in a shallow tray of water, then when it's grown to about 100mm, I cut it off, chop it like parsley, and sprinkle it on salad's, add it to Tuna mayo. . .etc etc, try it you might be surprised.🤔🤔

@joycehennequin8469 Год назад

Hi Emma 👋👋👋👋👋oh l needed this video today,you never fail to put a smile ☺ on my face.Your shed looks fabulous and tools hung up ready to get going,great job popit.For goodness sake stop eating stuff that you don't know what it is...if you get ill then what would we do eh 😘 just ordered more seeds and lve just sown the last of my Onions,kale,about five other things but l can't remember at the minute lol they are labelled 🤔 oh lettuce and the rest 😂 Have a great weekend and we shall see you soon 🤗🌱🌱🌱💞

@mickilicyes5399 Год назад

Loved this video! Laughed outloud multiple times. Not at you Emma definitely with you. 😜

@sammywalrus Год назад

Heeeey I’m new to all this and finding your posts so helpful! Thank you

@cherylbeswick7327 Год назад

You do make me laugh alot 😂 Your soil needs to be really acidic for your blueberry bush 🫐 I also cover mine in the winter to protect from frost. I would re pot gone it some good soil and a good field and mulch! Xx

@storytimewithnannyuk8185 Год назад

Good advice Emma!!!

@katexx3732 Год назад

😂😂 First time on your channel couldn't stop laughing.. "Think I've grown arsenic" 😂, "hope a spider didn't dig that hole" 😂 subscribed 👍

I share your pain with spiders!! But mine is more like a phobia. Love your videos and looking forward to more thank you. 😊

@annthomson2711 Год назад

Radish are strong flavour peppery

@astraaj435 Год назад

Radish is two-years plant. In first they grow roots and you can pick them up and eat. In second year they are going to grow flowers and seeds. If you accidentally picked them and ate - nothing bad will happen to you though it tastes woody and nasty. But you can leave few of them there and grow your own seeds (they do little pods like tiny beans).

@tinagardner3112 Год назад

Your hilarious 😂😂😂

@gardenofglory8275 Год назад

Lovely video

@FoodThymeAndGarden Год назад

It looks like a breakfast radish that grows long, usually white on the tip and red on its body. Indeed, they can be very spicy not sure why as they all don't grow like that .. Nature getting back at us I assume.. LOL

@trevorpowell9544 Год назад

Hi Emma. great video as ever you always make me laugh, I to lost all my broad beans in the bad frosts so having to try again. with regards to if things are alive try scratching the bark with your nails and see if you can see any green. keep up the good work :)

@tonystephengrayson Год назад

I planted tulip bulbs last autumn too. Mine actually look a bib worse than yours so chin up. I'm not sure they should even be coming up yet tbh, I think it was the warm/dry spell we had that made alot pop up early. Who knows if they will make it to flower..we shall see😅

@mikeadams5971 Год назад

The radish sampling was as amusing as watching the wife try the horse radish last year, brought it home washed peeled in she comes and helps her self to a skinny parsnip first encounter with a good strong horse radish Priceless almost needed a defibrillator couldn't breathe so funny. Sorry but funny.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Haha! It was pretty intense! x

@moonchild6029 Год назад

If you oversow then dont panicking just thin them.out to the strongest x

@sarahsgarden9684 Год назад

Awesome video Emma 😁 love the radish reaction 🤣 we had issues with ours last year 😞

@duncanselvester1045 Год назад

Emma, you ate funny!! Please keep posting, your films are great,😂

@garykellogg2758 Год назад

I'm sorry, but that was hilarious. Forgive me for laughing at your misfortune.

@poppysfarmyard Год назад

Oh Emma! you are such a laugh, so similar to me! I got excited as well when I saw your little radishes in the polytunnel!

@majordog2399 Год назад

Definitely a long radish. I did the same with chicory, tastes like poison.

@jennyjohnson9012 Год назад

Love your videos Emma, you make me laugh so much with the bugs. I dont care for spiders much either, especially the fast runners lol.

@jenni2398 Год назад

Use the kids! Get them to make you some plant labels 😂 then again it’s quite fun to guess what’s growing 😆 How’s your compost coming along? 🥰

@mojowolf87 Год назад

Oh Emma you sowing those seeds made me laugh. That sneeze at the end 🏆

@clownhall1609 Год назад

Hi Emma. Your videos are brilliant and love your presentation. Over your broad beans you got what look like chicken wire betting. I been given loads of this netting and I’m wondering if it’s too closely knitted. What is your opinion of the various types of betting. I can’t show you my gifted netting. Is there a way of posting a picture. Kind regards Norman

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

That depends what you are netting from! The smaller the holes, the better protection it will give against things like butterflies and smaller bugs. Larger nets are good against birds and also to stop cats and foxes from digging and pooping in the raised bed! x

@clownhall1609 Год назад

The netting is scaffolding green netting and it is very fine. I got about 30 metre’s

@ThatBritishHomestead Год назад

haha you made me laugh, your so down to earth lol. Oh how i hate spiders! i dont know what dead they are ok, but its something about how they move just gives me the creeps! however the more that i am out in the allotment the more im not so worried about them but giant spiders are a little much for me.

@thecornerplot Год назад

Saturday morning giggles wth Emma eating rotten veg lol shouldn't laugh 😂 when u speak but was rooting it taste se nice lol

@astraaj435 Год назад

I've read that tulips don't like to be moved much, they'd rather trive when they are left the same place for 10 years.

@sundays9143 Год назад

you make me laugh i love your vids. i sowed those exact same lettuces and they germinated after just 3 days! bloody things have gone mad haha so keep an eye on them, i have my suspicions they arent lettuces but magic bean seeds o.o

@lindaalbano6868 Год назад

There a lot of good videos on you tube about blueberries

@ross6343 Год назад

OMG Emma...I haven't laughed so hard in awhile - you are a 'natural' comic! You should have your own TV show😆😅🤣😂 Anyhoo...enjoyed the video immensely - thank you for sharing! Be well - many blessings! Cheers...
