    Lovely work well done putting it altogether. Paint the shed though 😂

    Take your garden waste to the plot to compost it emma, and looking at the stain on the stone, try brick acid, that should bring it off.😊

    The blue fence color is sooo striking! And I actually love the rust marks on the concrete; they tell a story of the area’s past life.

    Your garden looks amazing! Love it 🤩💐🦋🌻😊

    Beautiful... awesome result... I think a lovely flamingo tree in a large pot would look great in the corner. Well done🎉🎉🎉😊

    If the patio is concrete then brick acid will probably get rid of the rust marks, but it's evil stuff so wear goggles, decent boots and avoid splashing it on anything other than the patio. Dilute as per the instructions and dispose of carefully. If it is a natural rock such as stand stone do not use brick acid as it will etch the surface and probably make it look terrible.

    It looks fab Emma and you had a bargain with the table and chairs for £110. I've just looked at the website to buy them and the table is now £100 and the chairs are £50 each!

  • @keithbridgens2636
    @keithbridgens2636 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hello Emma, try either 50/50 bleach and water sprayed on the slabs, leave to soak in and wait for rain. Or paint with garage floor paint. Well done with the furniture build.

  • @johnking-ht5ez

    Wacker its looking super.

  • @isabelrafael2866

    Love your patio area - what a lovely idea to have those little pots on the expandable fence. A spot of colour.

  • @juststoppingby390
    @juststoppingby390 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Pop the high back chairs on the fence side the wood will pop against the fence. Then the lower back ones on the garden side. That way you can see across the pretty table

  • @melvyn2946
    @melvyn2946 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    love to watch you Emma you bring a bit of sunshine to our lives all the best for you

  • @elainemcgran8828
    @elainemcgran8828 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    The colour of the back fance is gorgeous. I would paint the shead the same and maybe the little fences on each side of the patio 😊. It's looking gorgeous 😊

  • @cherylbeswick7327
    @cherylbeswick7327 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Looking really good Emma well done. That colour on the fence really makes a huge difference. Was the chair and table really only £110??? 😱 That's an absolute bargain!

  • @andreakerry3411
    @andreakerry3411 ปีที่แล้ว

    I quite like the rusty bits on the patio 😊

  • @suebradford890
    @suebradford890 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The garden is starting to look fantastic after all your hard work Emma, well done! Just a personal choice, I would put the table/chairs at right angles to how you have it so there's no one sitting facing a blank fence...just a suggestion. Nearly ready for summer, yay!!😉😉

    • @aishabello1390
      @aishabello1390 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @ginatulip8679
    @ginatulip8679 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Emma! I am really cheap, for the patio I would just place nice flower pots or planter box artfully over the stains so it looks like I planned it that way, or maybe a bird bath?

  • @lorettadavis2456

    Looks lovely Emma! Your hard work has paid off. I made a strawberry pallet planter this week - following your lead from the one you made at your allotment. I painted it with cuprinol too but a deep shade of purple from the same range as your slate colour. I'm so pleased with it! Have a great Easter 😊

    Hey Emma...as soon as you showed the first shot of the table and chairs I said to myself "The high back chairs to the back and the low back chairs in front". Next shot and you had changed it to that!!! Great minds...xxx

  • @gardenlady8788

    I have read that baking soda and a wire brush removes rust on metal...don't know if it works on concrete though.

    @sweetsunnyvegan84 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think some types of acid will get rid of the rust. They sell them here to get rust from stone unsure in the Uk. Soloutions with hydraulic acid should work though??!! U really need someone who has tried and tested a product before maybe u could ask at a landscaping yard.

  • @felicitywoodruffe4087
    @felicitywoodruffe4087 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello Emma I googled it and the answer I found was to use wd40 multi use spray let it soak in them scrub really well with a wire brush or scourer.if it doesn't remove it all on the first attempt repeat .it states that it really will removethe stains if you try hard enough .hope it works

    Hi Emma love ur channel watch all ur videos from here in Australia. I’m not sure if it will fit but I thi at table would look fantastic matched with ur new table and chairs although u prob want to keep it out of the rain I assume. U always inspire me to just get out and give it a go! Sometimes in the morning I check for new videos of urs whilst I’m have a cup of tea and gives me the motivation to get out into my own veggie patch at home. Have u heard of blue nasturtiums? They are purple in colour And the rarest kind apparantly. I haven’t been able to get them here and wondered if they were readily available in the Uk, enjoy ur weekend

      Oh this is such a lovely comment, thank you so much! So glad I inspire you on your own veggie growing journey.
      No, I haven't heard of those nasturtiums, but I love them so much so sounds like something I would like. I'll see if I can get hold of some seeds, thanks so much! x
