Green tomatoes and bulb planting for spring
ฝัง

- Jobs for the allotment today are to trim the tomato foliage and plant some spring tulip bulbs for an early spring display. Tomatoes in the greenhouse are starting to turn red and ripen but the temperatures in the weather are steadily falling so my plan is to remove all of the foliage on the tomatoes in an attempt to ripen the remaining tomatoes on the vine. There are not many to ripen now so fingers crossed that they riipen in the next few weeks. I also have a plan to use on of the round raised beds as a display of tulips in the spring. It has only been used to grow spring onions in this year which were a successful crop but they wont be planted until the May so I can make use of the bed in the spring months with a display of tulips for a cutting flower bed.
I also discuss an area of the plot that is currently being used as a dumping ground and having previously been my seating area is now one that I want to make use of. it is shaded but I think with a few raised beds in the area for salads or similar leavy crops it will make full use of the allotment.
Leave your comments on what you think with the raised beds.

Great update Emma, it is so nice to plant bulbs and look forward to spring colour.
Yes it’s lovely. Hopefully the plot will be a ray of colour come the spring
Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
Une agréable vidéo 😊
A bientôt
Merci beaucoup
Hi Emma. Just a thought from someone outside the box re new beds at side of shed. We have put three 1.2 metres, two collar pallets high within our beds a then able to put a scaffold board across the back for any maintenance to the shed any time, painting, roof n gutter of shed. Metal ones will not take the load and will bend etc. Pallet collars are amazing! Good luck. Just our thought and from experiences.
That’s a really good idea and I hadn’t thought about the maintenance of the shed by putting raised beds there. Plus pallet collars are cheaper than the metal ones. Thank you 😀
Ooouch! Our green tomatoes are now in the kitchen and in giving them a week to ripen, then it’s freezer or bin… they have been given a talking to 😂😂😂
I didn’t grow any really spicy hot chilli 🌶️ but with my slightly hot peppers I chopped and covered in a white vinegar, water, sugar, mustard seed, peppercorn liquid. They are delicious on pizza and in sandwiches.
Shed of shame 😂😂😂 don’t look in ours Emma!!! 😂
Catch you soon lovely 🥰
Allie & Tricia xx
@TheRightPearPlot it really is the shed of shame. Yours looks lovely ☺️
Hello Emmai enjoyed your video your plot looks great,new subscriber 👍
Thank you and welcome to the channel 😀
Tulips will look lovely ❤
Fingers crossed. 🤞 they should be multicoloured so a bright display
I think you should consider growing over autumn and winter Emma. It'll mainly look after itself especially watering haha! It'll continue to grow while you're sorting the shed. Great update, Most of my tomatoes didn't ripen this year either. Always next year!! Danny x
Yeah will grow some broad beans and some garlic and onions and possible pak Choi. Fingers crossed for red tomatoes
Hope those toms ripen for you. I'm pulling all mine this week as night temps are dipping down.
A good shed tidy is always good. Just a pain in the behind to do it.
The number of times I have tidied it and it’s just messy again. I’m going to remove all but the tools I use a lot and hopefully will keep it tidier and be a space I can use again
I am clearing out and waiting for some of the summer flowers to move over 😂 so I can get all my bulbs planted. But now of course it’s pouring rain so it’s gonna have to wait. Make sure to cover and protect the tulips with something or the critters may dig them up. Great update Ems watch your head 🤦♀️, Ali ☔️🌞🥶☔️
Thanks Ali. Have a great week 😀
Both my sheds need a good tidy up. Three pallet collar beds, which, as another person said, are more sturdy, and you can put a board across to stand on when maintaining the shed.
It’s a great idea and definitely a plan 😀
Hi Emma, fingers crossed those tomatoes ripen, the shade area for the new beds will be very useful lettuces but also one could be a nursery bed for autumn / winter brassica.
Yes I was thinking brassicas and lettuces. The tomatoes seem to be turning but might need a window sill to finish them off
I've just don a seed order for next years plot. Im hoping it will inspire me after this years failures. I dont tend to grow a lot over winter.
Yes I’m cutting back this winter what I’m growing to free up some space for the projects I have planned. Have a great week
Cut a couple into a chilli con carne. With or without seeds, up to you. I usually string my chillies up and let them air-dry. Then I can use them cut up in meals or maybe pulse them in the blender to make chilli flakes.
Great idea thank you 😀
Hmm does Danny have any raised beds he’s not using 😂
Probably not know him 😂
