I feel like you should get a couple of chickens on your second plot. They can help eat the weeds, give you eggs and make you compost 😃

[@amykent6934]

Don’t forget to add “browns” to your compost heap with all those greens. We save all the cardboard from the Amazon boxes and tear up and throw it in. It encourages worms to come to break it down too as well as adding equal amounts of nutrients to the soil

[@MarianWalsh-vz9fy]

I think taking the leaves off of the sprouts is just removing the dying leaves which don’t benefit the plant any more.

[@annemariemoormann996]

We don’t say ‘weird’, Emma, we call that ‘special’! 😂

[@MaggieSwe]

Why don't you put fruit bushes like black, red and white currants along the plot border in order to get some privacy instead of placing them in the middle of the plot.

Hi Emma I do think I'm being thick, but I still can't see the Jumpers link. No sign of Rocky this time in the video, he's probably curled up in the warm. I have to say well done, so much work there and the weather is not helpful, but it's all coming together so well 💚

[@Lynne-plot35b-36b]

Hey Emma your sprouts look amazing BUT you must support them otherwise the wind will blow them over and uproot them. They won’t like their roots rocking in the ground.

[@annadaangel]

That stick holder is fantaSTICK! Sorry couldn't help myself 😂. But honestly you're doing amazing

[@nitelite78]

Have read a few times that blackcurrant bushes grow well in areas with less sun. I've just planted two on my plot (although mine will be in full sun as no where on my plot is shaded really. One thing you have to remember about fruit bushes though is that the birds will eat the berries so they need to be covered up with netting once berries start to form.

Hi Emma I’m Terry off Leyes Road Allotment with your Brussels you have to take the Brussel Top for the table and trim all leaves back to allow light in loosing the top forces the growth to big fat Brussels . Your Doing fantastic great channel we love it .

[@lisaberry7535]

Great video on a blustery day when we can feel like staying in. I bet you felt amazing afterwards doing those few jobs!

[@helenagreenwood2305]

It's been extremely windy here today (Whitby) I nipped out into the back garden to pot up 3 hydrangea and 3 ornamental grasses - coat hat and gloves on but had flip flops on my feet 🙄 everything was flying everywhere but got it done 💪👍🌿🌱

[@petebartlett2229]

Look at planting a ‘guild’ around the apple tree,and utilise the stumps

[@AudreyM2023-yo1fb]

I’m so glad that I discovered your channel. You’re so funny!😂❤

[@rosemarymurray8256]

Go to as many coffee shops and restaurants and ask for the coffee and tea grounds, most places will give them to you for free add them to your compost and by spring it will be ready to use ,☕☕😊🌻

[@Vanjonsorz]

We take the leaves off to eat like spring greens. Chopping them off apparently makes bigger sprouts, but I've never noticed much difference. Eat the leaves. Delicious !

[@suefantham6960]

Hi Emma,

[@2ndstarfromtherightsolas881]

Emma what about growing potatoes? There's nothing wrong with them sprouts, they look great!

[@harrietthompson4196]

Hi Emma I've been watching you videos for a couple of months now and I just wanted to say that I love your style of gardening. We all start off not knowing anything and you do better, I think, and have more fun, when you just get on with it, and the jobs do come! Great way of explaining it! Otherwise I think you can over complicate everything and you basically just don't get anything done! Plants are pretty forgiving and the act of getting stuck in is so liberating. Maybe it is a personality thing but I love your energy and realistic approach. I thought I was the only one out there, 😂 who just got on with it and got muddy and took a real approach. Thank You for putting your journey in videos. Harriet from Sheffield
