The banana skin 😂😂😂😂😂 So funny Emma 😅❤
Another amazing video! It’s so exciting to reset your garden 🪴 beds for the next growing season. Thanks for sharing your experience in your plot.
I hang the bananas skins on the branches Emma
Good girl! Your plot looks good, I like it!
The gladiolus probably weren't getting enough sun to form enough energy to bloom, they like full sun all day.
I've got a lot of spiders in my gardens unusual ones at that. But even in the house. Can't believe people actually asked if u can eat a pumpkin. Pumpkin 🥧
Sun gold or Sun baby tomatoes.
When you get ready to plant put the banana peel in the hole first and put the plant on top ,its like a natural food for plants ,❤🍌❤🍌❤🍌❤🍌

Hi Emma, your gladioli are in the shade. They need full sun.
Emma love the gloves😃 sent off using your discount code, they sent me an extra pair for my husband. They are so comfy and I ordered the winter ones too sooo good😍
Gladioli needs full sun x
nitrogen for green growth potassium for flowering . horse poo is pure nitrogen if green gets better with age. tomato feed a good balance designed to make things flower then fruit 😉 but works on everyday plants etc.
I’m dumping my gladioli this autumn too not been spectacular and like you, not too keen on them!! Will scatter some cornflower seeds next spring.
The yellow tomatoes that I grew this year were called Golden Sunrise. I had 4 Golden Sunrise tomato plants, 2 Red Cherry tomato plants and 1 Tigerella tomato plant . They started turning yellow/red/stripy-red from mid July. Last weekend I cleared the 2 Red Cherries and 2 of the Golden Sunrises …all the remaining green ones have been changing colour on my kitchen window sill . Tomorrow I plan to clear the rest of the tomato plants as they are looking weary now , they have done really well (definitely better than several years ago when I tried growing tomatoes and only got 2-4 tomatoes 😒) 😁 . This year I had grown them in most sunniest spot of my garden and in a Tomato Greenhouse with the doors sometimes open & sometimes closed. I didn’t put any banana skins around my tomato plants but did put some banana skins around the base (on the soil) my one and only red cabbage , last I checked it was still growing well 😊
Bananas on the grand
Looking fwd to seeing you cook the pumpkinsxx
Delia Smith does a great green tomato chutney! 😊
lovely video Emmabut where do I find your glove discount code? And hope you are saving some cornflower seeds for next year…we are seed saving most flowers this year!
To ripen tomatoes – if you grow Comfrey (& everybody should) – cut the leaves off and lay them flat below the Tomato plants.
It's spider season they'll be gone in 6 week's ish fab vlog Emma love the pumpkins 🥰
Pumpkins are super ! Mine are still not flowering !! 🎃🎃🎃
Ha ha, Think we're all holding on to our beautiful late crops. 😋
What are the sizes for the gloves. I usually buy large for my rubber washing up gloves 😂 if that’s anything to go by. Thankyou. Loving your videos.
Spot on with the length of the season Emma, because of the weird order of the weather this year growing started slowly then raced in the May/ June sun and then got finished of by the awful July / August rains thus everything has finished early. It's been the same up here in the North as for you. But that's the great thing about growing no year is the same and next year we go again..😁
I like what you said about the garden rebel that's me too .I plant was the whole packet of seed in the hope too get a few . I meant this lovely man over 18 mths ago . Now my boyfriend we have have our own home gardens .He just grins and than a giggle of how I just planted seed ..Umm he says the garden whole packet .me just grin back . I turned my old chook yard in a new other veggie patch .It has 8 ft high chook wire walls .Have added shade cloth nailed on the inside . Garden colourbond beds and a whimsical feel. Only 5 mths old and lots things growing very happy.
Emma don’t throw away the Gladiolis just put them in a more sunny spot x
I cut my glads down not my favourite flower. Your pumpkin arch is amazing
Horayyyy pumpkins, Emma roasted pumpkin skins are fantastic the best part l think and Jamie Oliver loves the skins aswell. It was he that told us about the skin's on TV and the same with Parsnips there skins are the best ❤ you hate spiders 🕷🕷🕷🕷lm petrified of them,l won't even open a window in this heat,l would rather fry 😂😅❤
I agree with you, I’m terrified of spiders too. I’m glad you said about doing the shorts with cooking the Jack be little as although none of mine grew, I’m hoping next year they will do better.
It’s such a shame when the growing season is coming to an end and the plot isn’t looking full of vegetables
You should of just left the gladiolur,you should of cut them down not took the bulb they would of benefited from the feed, and maybe flower next year.
If you don’t feed your plants they aren’t going to grow.
The Robin wouldn’t hurt you, and either will the spiders they are more frightened of you, than you of them.
Why didn’t you just save the skins from your home, cats will not eat bananas🤦🏼♀️
Other way round: less heat makes them ripen quicker. Tomatoes slow down above 29°C and stop ripening at 35°C. That's why outdoor tomatoes always taste better, they ripen quicker.
