Lovely video as always! Here in West Yorkshire Mondays snow froze solid and is still very much here. The ice meant the schools were closed so the Christmas holidays were waaaay too long 😂. Warmer temperatures are due this week so as soon as it melts I’ll be on the plot! 👨🌾
Thank You 😊 oh goodness 😅 mine were so ready to go back to school and I was too 😂 freezing here was -7 this morning! Hopefuly it warms up like you day, have a great weekend 😊
What a fabulous Macro Lens Gem and so easy to use compared to the clip on one that I have 👍 Exciting first day after the festive season isn't it. I loved looking around our allotment and seeing the spring bulbs starting to come up. Your brassicas are looking amazing. 😍 Have a great week Gem ❤ xx
Gemma I love the camera idea and I’ve shared it. It also gave me an opportunity to get others to subscribe to your channel😬. I can’t believe what you’re able to do in January. I’m so jealous. It’s still in the minus temperatures 🥴😢. Never mind I’m just transplanting indoor plants. Keep going, you’re doing amazing stuff.
Hi Wanda 👋 wow Thank You so much for sharing ❤️✨️ it's been cold here today -3 and will get colder over the weekend ❄️🥶 Thank You for the support as always x
Gosh gem! Do you ever stop!?!?! I love those microlenses! Can't wait to try mine out too! This was such a great video! That closeup of the broccoli 😍 Polytunnel looked fab mulched! "Welldone". X haha😊
Happy New Year Gem✨No chance of snow or frost where I live - its summer here in the Southern hemisphere. Ive got pumpkins, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, chillies & cucumber growing. That lens is amazing. Photos look fab. 🌿
Happy New Year ✨️ wow that's so exciting you have so much growing, you are the opposite of us in the UK we are the middle of winter it's-3 here today, have a great weekend 😊
Great update Gem! Bloody freezing isn't it!? I still have some leaves i need to put down on the beds. Ended up putting some old net curtains on the main bed for now. Was too busy over Christmas. You get done, what you get done, when you can. Going to try and pull out some carrots in a bit! Yesterday, the cold frame lid was frozen shut so i think it will be like those cartoons trying to get them out! lol Have a great week!
Happy New Year Gem and family, here’s to an even better 2025. Hers is damp and cold with lots of foggy mornings and nights. But so far no snow 🙏, Ali 🥶😶🌫️🇨🇦
Hi Gem, Happy New Year to you and your family. Yes, we have had snow on Sunday, Tuesday, freezing conditions on between -4 overnight too so pathways are frozen and slippy. Your pokytunnel plants,are looking very healthy. Lots of preparation done for the upcoming season. Lovely plot update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Hiya. Your brassicas are looking great. Mine are very motheaten. Great little macro lens. -9 here last night and -8 the night before. Even my unused bags of compost are frozen solid. Have to change the quail and chicken waterers three or four times a day as they freeze so quickly. Think we are getting milder weather at the weekend. Thank goodness. All the best. Mags
Happy NY Gemma (& Family), i shall be glad when January is over, I find it so depressing. I managed to get to my plot Wednesday and was delighted to see a huge pile of woodchip. I managed to membrane around my fruit bushes followed by 12 wheelbarrows …I felt that the next day. No snow in Norwich but was -3 this morning at 6:30 whilst driving to work brrrrr
Happy New Year ✨️ wishing you the best for 2025 ✨️ oh I agree January isn't a great month is it! Sounds like you've been busy and made lots of progress 👍 it's - 3 here too...so cold isn't it ❄️🥶 have a fab weekend x
Happy new year, Gemma. In the NW of England we had a few cm of snow last weekend and a dusting yesterday. Cold nights, the plot is frozen! Your polytunnel looks fantastic btw with all the winter veggies!
Happy New Year! We still haven't had any snow in London but it's really cold, -3 at the moment which is cold for us! Thank You I'm really pleased with how things are going in the polytunnel 🙏 Have a great weekend 😊
Hey Gem the frozen wonderland here in Dublin is coming to a close.....apparently, it's still freezing! Further down the country still have power and water loss, safe to say I feel grateful being where I am right now. My very first jalapenos have just germinated along with some greens and onions, very excited for spring. Love that lens!
Good to hear it's coming to an end and you are in a good safe place 🙏❄️ ooohhh exciting news about your jalapeños, I'm going to start some too, I've never grown them! Have a great weekend 😊 ❤
Happy New Year Gem. Its freezing here in the Borders. We had snow, some still on the ground, but hard frost and minus 10 at night. Everything is encased in ice and the ground, water butts and plants are totally frozen. No gardening for me since before Christmas. Roll on Spring. Thanks for another lovely video xx
Happy New Year Gemma. The allotment is looking great and your brassicas are doing amazing. I’ve not been to my plot for nearly 3 weeks as I’ve had flu and then whooping cough!!!! Then last week we had an enormous amount of snow in Bingley (so much it actually made onto BBC national weather) and we’ve hardly been able to get our cars off the development as the temperatures have been up to -9 at times so it’s like an ice rink! Hopefully I’ll get there over the weekend to see if anything has survived! Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Deb
Hi Deb, poor you there are some really nasty bugs going round aren't there 🤒 hope you're feeling better 🙏 wow that is so cold! It's -3 here today in London and feels colder than it has for a long time. Have a great weekend 😊
Happy New Year Gemma, Frost on top of frost, on top of frost for the last week. Couldn't get the greenhouse door open, frozen solid. Shed padlock frozen also, had to pour hot water over it to get access to the bird food.
Had snow, storms, frost, rain the lot. Pleased to say all the overwintering veg is fine and the Ranunculus in the greenhouse although has been below freezing have sprouted. All good so far.
Happy New Year Gemma. It’s freezing here in Manchester. Snow and ice for most of week, with temperatures around -4 - -7C!! Far too cold to do anything at the plot.
Hi. New subscriber here. Is that a flip top polytunnel? Looks fab idea. I’ll look forward to having a closer look at that. I’ll probably dig through your earlier posts, I’m sure it’s probably come up before! Thank you x
