Gardening is so good for the soul and you have a beautiful soul Emma love to watch you in your allotment all the best
Kohlrabi grow like the size of a baby boo pumpkin you have picked yours to early leave others you have much longer you will be surprised how much bigger they will get 😊
Lol I love the sage words of advice you give the plants 🪴 😂
I’ve recently discovered your channel, I’m not a great gardener, but I love your philosophy “Whack them in - and hope for the best”! 👍🏻🤣🌻
I’ve grown over 250 kilograms of sweet potatoes last year. They grow vines like weeds! They get big-BIG 😂
Try to lift the vines over the summer, so it doesnt root everywhere, that way all the energy goes to the main rootsystem and the sweetpotatoes!
A ‘live long and prosper’ usually works for me 😂
The pumpkin you turned should be OK as long as you keep watering it until you can see new leaf growth, then you'll know that it has produced more fresh roots and should be fine 🤞🏻🎃
Your sense of humour had me in fits of laughter!! You have an interesting outlook towards gardening!! In fact you should write childrens books!! LOL!! As regards too hot summers...try living in Australia mate!! LOL!!
I've picked the first few broad beans of the season this morning 🌱 I hope your pumpkin survives!
I planted a cabbage in my front garden a couple of years ago. It grew brilliantly amongst my flowers. The pests didn't realise it was a cabbage
Haha! That’s amazing!
Watching this was a fabulous way to start my weekend - thank you! I think you should find a nice floppy sunhat to wear on those hot days..
Good luck with your sweet potato, it actually grows like a ‘vine’ under the ground and travels a fair way, they do like the sun.
Emma, I just received the Tshirt and carry bag I ordered. They are wonderful.
Thanks
With the potatoes it’s best when you leave leaf’s to go brown makes the potatoes go bigger
Kohlrabi should be 3 times that size, sweet lady. Your garden is looking good.
I like your attitude... just try it! If it doesn't work, or if you don't like it, you can always do something different next year. No problem.
Some of my plants had a sulk at me this week, too, flopping around like moody teenagers they were 😂. I'm going to whack a purple sprouting broccoli in somewhere random - I've not really got the room, but Ive grown it anyway. Keep safe in the sun, its boiling up here in the north, too 🥵
hi emma drive some metal poles into the ground and leave 2ft sticking out the ground where the ends of your pipe go into the ground then push ends of pipe over the metal stakes this will hold the pipe firm and stop the pipe falling over do this for each length of pipe go on you tube it shows you how to do this keep at it you are doing a good job regards henry
Happy to see I am not the only one wanting to hug plants 😂 I feel you ❤
Pecked off by a bird! Never gave that a thought until now Emma. How I love your videos 😘😘😘😘😘😘
I am now scared of the robin in my back garden. Cheers Emma 😂
Emma, I just discovered your channel. I began gardening the same time you did. Your vlogs bring me such joy and laughter. I have learned to relax and enjoy the journey of gardening. I have decided to be grateful for anything the garden decides to give me and to not take it personally when she decides to withhold. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Amazing. That sounds like the right attitude to me! So glad you like my vlogs, thanks for watching! Xx
😂 that’s certainly the best possible attitude!
Laughed at my chuck it together trellis this afternoon inspired by you The garlic rather miserable - it certainly is hot 😂😅
its so nice when the harvest starts coming in didnt it!
It’s amazing! X
Emma with your water pipe blue hooping drill a pilot hole and screw thtoughbthe hoop to the wood beds they eill stsy put and put a cane ir sonething similar on the tip to make them more ridged tie them to the hoops. Your plot is looking great all the best ❤😊
I reckon death by slug may be worse than being pecked by the birdies. BTW don't be too eager with the spuds wait for the foliage to die back or you'll harvest marbles. Great vlogs
just subscribed, thanks for sharing with . Hello from Oregon
Thank you so much x
we grow a lot of sweet potato here in new zealand, they need a lot of space to spread about 2feet all round so you look to have given them enough, they like hot weather so your heatwave will be good for them, keep them well watered though :)
So jealous of your downpour. It has now been 33 days since the last bit of rain here, and nothing is forecasted for another week. :(
the kholrabi's get about the size of a tennis ball, you picked the purple too early! I just grew mine this year, fingers crossed they do well xx
Your approach is very different to mine. I have to read up and watch 10 TH-cam videos on how to grow a particular plant before I give it a go.
All looking good Emma! Thanks a lot 😅
how cute are those sweet potatoe plants
The only channel that makes me ponder what it would be like to be pecked to death by a robin 🤣. I planted late but seeing your plants flourist gives me hope mine will catch up.
Natures just brilliant when you get the bug for it.. the rewards are far less than the effort but feel so much more worthy than you first thought when planting. I bought a new spray gun for the housepipe it made my life SOOOOOooooo much better 😆 Looking good matey! Wooohoooooooo!
*also worth a mention that I only found out myself recently, sunflowers have a chemical in the roots that kill other plants around them so they don't have to compete for nutrients with other plants - So I planted my sunflowers just in randem places in the garden but left them out of my fruit and veg patches and pots - i've not read into what plants they are ok with :)
Hi Emma ,I've been to my allotments today .picked spring onions lettuce and aload of strawberries yummy .
I've had a good giggle with your vlog tonight ,the chop stick slug so funny .
Keep up the good work Emma xx
Crikey it was so hot here yesterday, I gave up on my allotment and went for a pub lunch instead! Today the wind was blowing so it was a bit cooler and I planted lots of runner beans and sweetcorn. My kohlrabi are a lot smaller than yours so I'll be leaving them for a while. We've had no rain at all up here in the Borders, so it's back to watering again! You do make me smile, I love your vlogs xx
Yeah it was a scorcher! Was only supposed to spend an hour there but ended up staying for about 4! 😂
Thank you
Thank you Emma, your vlog brightened my day.
Thank you Emma 😂 Your truly do inspire me to just get on with it Im really enjoying my garden and love your vlogs ❤
great video! It's been so hot to go to the plot but I sowed more seeds today, climbing french beans, beetroot, spring onions, lettuce, spinach and some flowers!
Thank you Emma its a pleasure to see you on the allotment your full of fun and yes you can grow your own food 🎉🎉🎉🎉xx
Wish we had some rain, lm down on the south coast, nothing, still baking hot 😢
Thank you Emma
The khol rhabi was very small that you harvested as it’s the bulb you eat but the white one looks bigger but even that could grow much bigger. But hope you get a bit of a taste.
Do pick your sweet peas….the more you do, the more they will flower.
Hi probably the wind is blowing it down it snapt my potatoes had to tie them up again
If you put, small bamboo canes down, the slip the blue arches down on them, that might help them stay rigid and up x
I did! But I think they snapped 😂 maybe the fox sat on it!
It's been 35 days with no rain just hot sun and been on a hosepipe ban since 12of may 😔 fab vlog Emma 🥰
Great stuff, thank you Emma. Nothing to do with growing anything but I particularly liked your shirt fabric.
Hi Emma. I grew sweet potatoes last year and it grows in like a vine. Kind of looked like bind weed
Haha! Ok, that makes sense, so glad you told me! Hope they grow well. (They are still alive! 😂🍾🎉)
Kohl rabi is fab grated in coleslaw instead of white cabbage
I love your vlogs Emma you are a joy to watch .Your just try it and see what happens philosophy has got me back on track after a year of feeling uninterested.I have been gardening for many years but am still learning.Your sweetpeas look beautiful.
Amazing, so glad I’ve inspired you ☺️ thanks for watching! X

Hiya Emma some great tips mentioned. Oh yes do let us know about the purple kohlrabi I’ve never tasted before. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Hi Emma, definitely a 🦊 fox playing about.
Good morning to you too Emma, thank you for your video, they're so helpful.. I have started my Gardening in 2020. But 2022 but I have started again. How ever I need your help . Can you please tell me what you used to make you hoops for your cover for your veggies Beds.
My first proper harvest today, I don’t count the rhubarb as that was already there when I got my plot. Harvested some shallots, strawberries, which have somehow vanished, ok I ate them all, and a garlic similar to yours. Also had a massive surprise there is a tomato on one of my tomato plants what I was expecting I’m not sure x
Incredible! And wow, my tomatoes are nowhere near ready yet! 😂🤷♀️
It will be the very heavy rain downpour that’s moved your structures. It knocked some of my pots and flowers over.
Ah ok, that makes sense!
🤣🤣🤣You are so funny, love it.
Thanks! 😂
Amazing !! it is HOT HOT HOT 😀👍👍👍👍
Hi Emma. Fab channel. Just a thing I've seen where people use the blue hoop idea. They put a stick in the ground each side then slide the pipe over. Not trying to teach grandma to suck eggs, but hope helps.x
You're hilarious. Brilliant. Bit like my allotment. K
U eat the bulb of a kohlrabi, as well as the rest if u want. like a turup, the Kohlrabi bulb should be a bit smaller. And that's the bit most people cook. The same as a turup bulb
Hi Emma don't think it's Rocky causing the damage more likely to be a fox they seem to like jumping on things we had this problem so we now cage almost everything
Good morning Miss Emma
A...
The thumbnail got me.😂
Hi Emma, I have been told if uou spray your wood around your beds with dw40 the slugs don't likr it
i have baby boos and gills giant pumpkins in too
My fox keep playing with stuff in the garden. Last time it was a box from soda cans 🥫, with an empty can inside. There was teeth marks on the box and I found it 20 meters from where I left it.... Almost in the forest 😅 he also steal gloves and leave them somewhere else. At least he stopped stealing my potatoes as soon it started to grow green stuff on it. 🙈 😂
Yeah my fox once buried my hat in one of my raised beds! 😂😂
@@emmasallotmentdiaries 😂😂😂😂😂
Smell memory is definitely a thing.
Just saw a video about controlling slugs. Have you used Nemaslug? It's a powder mixed with water and applied to the garden beds. The nematodes get into the slugs and they die.
Keep cutting your sweet peas Emma, if they go to seed that's it, game over for the year 😊 mine are getting really tall
Hi Emma the kholrabi is not big enough hè have at least have the size of a 🎾.
Like your vlogs!!
You made me laugh when planting your purple sprouting broccoli !! Love your videos, im currently turning my back garden in to a mini allotment as the waiting list is so long! X
Hi Emma you have good ground as you feed it well with compost manure etc so the sweet potatoes will grow well. They will grow up so you will need sticks eventually as they are a vine. But you will see as they grow.👍🙋🏻
I’ve never grown Kolrahbi I’d love to know what you think, maybe when you had your thunderstorm it got windy and blew stuff about. Poor Rocky may be innocent.
Hi I take the flowers off the potatoes so the plant makes bigger potatoes and not the flowers and seeds no good for planting that's what I do
Oh I didn’t know that! Thanks for telling me! Xx
@@emmasallotmentdiaries I've seen a lot of homesteaders take potato flowers off to direct energy into growing spuds not seeds
How are your pallet strawberries doing in the heat? Mine are looking a bit sad despite lots of watering!
Oh.. my… god. Literally haven’t checked on them for about 3 weeks! 🤦♀️ please be alive! 😂🤷♀️
🤣🤣
No way ur sweet pea is flowering I don't have a single flower..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.. yet..?
Be careful with them sweet potatoes!. They grow like bindweed but on a greater scale and swamp everything. They also grow in huge bunches with large individuals which are difficult to harvest in compact soil. Best in recycle tubs but I'll let you learn.
Just got a new #fan you have
It's not a heat-wave, it's a few hot days in the middle of summer, which is perfectly normal in Britain
your corrabi needs to grow more we grow them and leave them to get bigger
