My mum got an allotment for the first time in February and has been watching your videos incessantly. I went with her today to help her set up a couple of raised beds, and as she was transferring her onions from the greenhouse to the beds, she kept just saying "wack em in". I burst out laughing because I've never heard her say that before and she has 100% gotten that from you. Me and my mum both love the channel.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Amazing!! Haha! That's exactly the attitude though! x

@georgewishart7437 Год назад

Well done Mamma, they've got two chances,you will make it right,lot,s of people in this world have bigger problems,take care,good luck to you 😂

@WilsonsWanderings Год назад

Try not to compare yourself to others; you’re doing great at the allotment and you don’t need to worry about other people! 👍🏻 A lovely looking allotment and that blossom is gorgeous! 👍🏻

@joycehennequin8469 Год назад

Yeh CONGRATULATIONS Emma on reaching such a high number of subscribers.l never doubted you 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🤸🎉 so happy for you ❤ don't forget Ricky's treats xx

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Thank you! x

@notforwantoftrying1 Год назад

The difference is, Monty Don has an entire team of people supporting him + a budget that is probably in the 7 figures to produce. Additionally, I suspect they "fake" scenes when necessary, or at the very least only focus on what has gone well while ignoring the failures. I haven't been that impressed by Gardener's World, there's often more focus on sob stories of the people they have on than the actual gardening. There's more informational content in a 20 minute youtube video by someone like Charles Dowding than there is in half a season of Gardener's World imo.

Emma after a big slug attack last year, I have been soaking cotton balls in peppermint oil, put the balls in a small bowl and I left the bowls around my crops, it’s amazing keeps slugs, snails cats and squirrels away. They hate the smell. I haven’t seen one yet.. Could be a good idea for your poly tunnel 👍

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Amazing!! I'll definitely try this! x

@jamesgordon4754 Год назад

Great vid, thank you, seen several now and it's lovely to see your allotment developing. On the blue water pipe net construction, I use the full bamboo length on the sides to provide a stronger structure against winds, and cable ties to hold the bamboos in place. I've got cherry tree envy as well, mines just two years old.😊

@annemariemoormann996 Год назад

Lovely vid, Emma. Definitely sowing cosmos (again, was far too early) and cucumbers this week. You’ve given me hope. My gardening friends said not to bother, but now I will!

@Bracebarian Год назад

Put a pot over you rhubarb to restrict the light to force it to grow a little quicker. I cover mine each year (in an old barrel) and have already had many harvests from it.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Great tip, thank you! x

@DuffPharming Год назад

I think it is too early to force. The rhubarb needs to photosynthesise to store energy. Resist picking too much or even any this year. Leave the sticks on and you will strengthen the plant. Next year let it grow again and the crown will get bigger. You can pick some sticks. The following year you could force it. But only force it once every 2 or 3 years otherwise you will deplete it’s energy. In several years it will be much bigger and harvests will be awesome. Long live rhubarb potato!!

@Bracebarian Год назад

Good point, only force established plants.

@GardenerGray Год назад

Another great video Emma, so many updates. Think I might try the sunflowers direct in the beds too. C what happens. 2nd week of May for all my planting out is my rule of thumb 😊

@jecskid8 Год назад

When growing your sweetcorn, you can grow them in toilet roll tubes and when you transplant them, you just put the whole tube on the ground and they will grow really well and the tube will decompose.

@timbaker7994 Год назад

Hi Emma another nice trip round your allotment you are doing so well love your channel and your saying wack er in keep putting out the videos love them 😊

@felicitywoodruffe4087 Год назад

Emma lidl have cucumbers in pots today I saw pots with 6 cucumber seedlings in them .they also had tomato plants courgettes and peppers

@beverley1539 Год назад

Hiya Emma most enjoyed a visit plot is looking fab. Agree how ironic you were sent some cat treats? Lol. The sun is soo important for whatever space you may have. I need to do some changes in my garden. Love Cosmos loads of varieties. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

@DarrenDragonTarot Год назад

I planted sunflower 10 days ago and no sign yet. But 10 days ago I also planted broad beans and they are now coming through 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@jackparton3198 Год назад

Well you did it again another amazing video!! Your plot is turning out to be so very beautiful keep up the great work 😃

@Stephen474 Год назад

Hi Emma the plot is looking great, if you are going to put new netting on the new hoop bed I would take the canes off as if its windy the canes will stretch the new netting and put a hole in, I learned from my past mistakes. take care Steve

@ThatBritishHomestead Год назад

your tulips look amazing, I have having flowers this time of year! I can not wait til my allotment sos alove with the hum of flowers!

@jop8833 Год назад

Aw you inspired me to plant tulips and I’ve been made up with them x well done Emma 😊 💐

@marywaddell8927 11 месяцев назад

Drawing a plan to scale would help you decide what would be the best way to lay out your plot and help you save time and energy.

@ryancamacho3068 Год назад

I actually grow kale in my flower beds just for the yellow flowers. They look so pretty and airy filling in the gaps between my roses that everyone compliments them and asks what they are. Just to encourage your pak choi idea 😊

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Oh really! Yes, they really are beautiful flowers, such a great idea! x

@helenefortiscue-smythe8279 Год назад

Emma you’re just so funny but l love your videos. Brand new gardener here (fruit and vegetables) god willing and fingers crossed for some crops at the end of the season lol

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

@stevekent3991 Год назад

Emma, you can use garden secateurs to cut those blue water pipes.

@billnorfolk08 Год назад

You will find many gardeners check weather forecasts for future reference, the frost had been forecast for at least 4 days before Sunday and Monday .If you know it is coming you can take appropriate action to save your tender plants . Your Rhubarb could be going to flower if it is a flower break it off at the stem NOT CUT IT you don’t want your plant to flower and go to seed, and don’t cover the first year to force just let it grow at its own speed for at least 12 months and don’t harvest any this year . Put some of your Sweetcorn in a sealed tub Chinese takeaway type on damp kitchen roll in a warm place airing cupboard is good for 3 or 4 days ,once chitted place in pots of compost will be through in a couple of days keep away from any cold as they are very tender.

@jennyjohnson9012 Год назад

Well done on your subscribers, but thoroughly deserved Emma. I did fleece my potatoes, they're a bit taller than yours and they still got touched with the frost. The next morning some of the leaves were drooping. I cut those off today. Dont know if that was the right thing to do, but Google said more shoots will come. I think the potatoes will be ok as they were planted quite deep. I think we're in for one more frost up here. I just want it to warm up! Here's to more sunny days x

@SaraHartman09 Год назад

Emma, was reading Epson salt is good for deterring slugs and snail…..

@bobwilliams5506 Год назад

I jumped the gun on planting out a lot of my garden this year.........as usual. Lost my tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, and squash plants. Fortunately, I always have replacement plants already started. This Missouri weather can be very unpredictable at best. Glad you made it without damage, Emma.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Oh no! But well done for having replacement crops, that's what I always try to do now! x

@wordsbymaribeja1470 Год назад

Same with me. I 'usually' (this is my 3rd year gardening) sow my seeds first week of March, this year I started a month early and began to harden off my tomatos, dahlia and celery 3 weeks ago, my tallest (leggiest) tomatos spent about a week outside in the miserable still-breaking-into-Spring-South-London-weather. They were miserable and enduring but growth completely stalled. I've now put everything in a large grow tunnel clotche, that's been lined with fleece and after a week the tomatos are growing side shoots. I've definitely learnt my lesson about sowing too early, and imaging weather that wasn't there yet.

@barriespencer6336 Год назад

Hi Emma I sow my corn on the cobe seeds in toilet roll tubes when plants grow on plant the whole tube in your bed no root disturbing good look

@SaraHartman09 Год назад

Emma, have you looked into using Tulle? There is a lady who uses this netting cloth for her gardens….so do I….

@Nanatracie Год назад

Great video, my cosmos just starting to show signs of germination x

@bobwilliams5506 Год назад

Corn likes warm soil to germinate. 70F or higher. Emma, get yourself some pvc cutters for the pipe. They are inexpensive and work great.

@gardennonsense Год назад

We still get frost till Mother's Day in Denver Colorado.❤ the video Emma

@penelopecrichlow7238 Год назад

My spuds aren’t up yet thank goodness but the grapevine in my polytunnel has really suffered. I’m in stockport(near Manchester) so a bit colder here. -4%last night, some cucumbers in trays that moved in there are no more😥. What a bugger egh

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

You're right, it all catches up! x

@lindat4854 Год назад

I just wondered if you could give us a closer look at the frame work of the polly tunnel ,also how does it stand up to high winds , as I am thinking of getting one Thank you Emma

@adrianwood4661 Год назад

Hi it looks good and well do the job

@garywoodall325 Год назад

I use pieces of metal pipe ( that I get from skips) to attach the blue pipe into, much stronger

@nickiramsay2421 Год назад

I was lucky the frost seemed to miss where I live the other day, but when I drove to work, the cars in the next village were covered in frost. I only have onions and broad beans out at the moment, I haven’t been brave enough to plant anything else out, the peas are going out this weekend though, I’m running out of space indoors.

@irenesmith5676 Год назад

Hi Emma love your video lv Irene 😘 xx

@wordsbymaribeja1470 Год назад

You may have been able to save those cucumbers. The amount of times that I have saved a dehydated tomato, celery, dahlia... seedling when it is flopped over, stems completely dehydrated, tepid colour, leaves dried out and looks dead are countless. I don't think you had a dehydration issue, but I've saved smaller seedlings in far worse condition.

@emmasallotmentdiaries Год назад

Oh no! Don't say that!! I think they were done to be honest though. Already started some more at home x

@lindat4854 Год назад

Last year mine was the same all wonky but it still did a good job

@Riverman2012 Год назад

Thanks for the netting code Emma. Looks like a good product, going to give it a try :)

@peterl.wagstaff8247 Год назад

Thought about sowing sunflowers as you would at home in pots, but then leaving them in polytunnel? I have the same problem of bad light at home (only east-facing windows). I sow seeds at home then take them to the polytunnel a few days after they've germinated. Don't know whether I'm right to do that!!!!! But it seems to work for me (in Bristol).

Before you cover your new structure. Cut back the ends that are sticking up as they will rip through your netting Emma.

Yes, I noticed that! Thank you so much for reminding me! x

Can anyone recommend an app that's good for weather? I reckon I check the approximately 3 times a day on my pixel phone, and at no point did it predict a frost. (I'm also in London and apparently there was one)

@wordsbymaribeja1470 Год назад

This is the first I'm hearing of a frost, I leave out to cycle to work before 7:00am and saw no signs of frost. I'm also in London. I check the weather via BBC weather, I think they all get it from the Met Office. Unless your looking for an app with specific presentation and features?
