Hey Emma so glad everything survived whilst you were away- defo white/green kohlrabi in your poly tunnel I had a mix pack of seeds white and purple – looking good 👍🏼 very excited about the pumpkins- iv just planted out my courgettes for this year a mix of yellow & green and ball courgettes can’t to get are first of the year, already had a few cucumbers and tomatoes – you make me laugh 😂 as I get so excited about the same things as you do whilst gardening – have a great week happy planting 🥒🥦🌻Kelly
I think the cosmos starts of a lighter shade and develops a darker shade as the flower blooms more. That's what mine does. But if yours stays different colours, let me know the brand of seeds you used.
I just love your personality 😊
U should get a tub of fish blood and bone it should last u about 2 years or more. When u dig a hole put some of it into the hole then put your plant in. Its a great feed and also feeds the soil. Then u feed plants with it once a month a little goes a long way.
Wow! What a huge difference in all of the plants! Wow, your pumpkins, im so envious. I have planted the entire package – centers eaten on all that germinate – i just planted the last 2 seeds … 🤞….your plot looks fantastic!!!!
oh my! I love a pumpkin im growing a few pumpkins, zombie and big boy, and a load of winter squash! Yum! we are still eating the ones that i grow last year.
Hiya Emma yay all alive! Re your merchandise is it delivered around the world or just uk ? Thankyou luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
You could buy some strong polytunnel tape and some fine net and just replace the damaged window?
I’m so glad your plot is still thriving! You’re doing so well! I think in your poly tunnel, the mystery plant looks like a kohlrabi. Thanks for sharing your journey! 😊
Emma, I just have the biggest smile on my face when I see your uploads 🥺🥺 Thanks for all your hard work on these videos!!!
Pumpkins and squash often get floppy in the sun when first planted, but they will be fine 🙂 Once their roots go a bit deeper they will start looking alive more consistently 😉
Its all looking great Emmaxx
So glad you had a nice peaceful holiday! I'm growing pumpkins for the first time. Very nervous! Not out yet, need to get a bit bigger. Will be growing along with you xx
I feel your excitement Emma, plot is looking good 👍
Isn’t it strange that everything is growing since you’ve not been there 👀 lol 😂. Maybe you’re killing them with kindness lol 😂. I’m only laughing coz that me too, I feel your pain! ❤
Hi Emma! Lovely to see you back!
I’ve cleared the weeds just!!! My back is killing me atm!
Love your videos 🫶
Yes it’s another kohl rabi just a different variety. You’re doing well, keep it up.
Hey Emma, good to see you back. Sure your mystery guest in the tunnel is Kohlrabi and as for your kale you can start to harvest around a third of the leaves every week now and it will promote new growth. If you find it a little strong for your taste blanching in boiling water fo 60 seconds mellows it quite a bit, the stalks are great too and have a recipe on my blog for Chinese style Hoi sin stems.
Yes that plant is a kohlrabi. They can be both white and purple.
Hey emma,
Happy you had a lovely camping holiday and detoxed from social media,,,
And can I just say YOU ARE a AMazing Gardener,,,I've learnt so so much from you and you're vlogs,I'm very grateful,,,
You're plot looks divine ,keep doing you cos it's just Fabulous,
blessingZ and positive energies, kat x
Thank you Emma x
The plant is KohlRabi
Love this! Nicely done on all of it! 😁
Love it. You’re brill. Gives me lots of encouragement being a newish allotment owner who always feels that I haven’t a clue what I’m doing. 😅
Hi Emma..so happy to see u vibe with joy on the nature being on ur side this year ❤ . BTW where did I buy the black meral arches from ? Any good for South London weather u think ?
Where do we buy the merchandise, I can't find the link x
You crack me up 😂
Let some side shoots grow on your toms then break them off and plant themyoull get a free tom plant, congratulations on the T-shirts etc they look great 🥰
I'm pretty sure the green one in your Polly tunnel is a kol rabi . I'm on year 5 of my allotment and being away from the plot for afew days and coming back it's that feeling of what's it going to be like . I think you are one of the more natural vlogers I've watched most would have redone n edited but it's great to see that things go wrong leafs get broke it's all good wack it in n see what it does love the natural reaction to things still living it's what most are thinking but don't say
Glad your upside down water bottles worked. I’ve joined you with the pumpkin arch, never grown them before, doing Jack Be Little and Baby Boo as you’ve recommended them. Fingers crossed!
M, why don't you remove the bottoms of your poly tunnel watering bottles..that way you can leave them in place and fill them with water? That's what I do….cheers
You may have been where I live in South Somerset! Just got my first allotment a month ago, have NO IDEA what I am doing and love your videos, gives me some needed confidence and reassurance that I can just try things and see how it goes…
I want to help you plan but i Van not because we are far away hehehe
I don't think u have watered the plants enough, concentrate the watering can on each plant more.
