-You might want to consider to leave space all around your new greenhouse, so you can fix any damage that might occur in the future or any cleaning of the sheets that might need doing (moss/algae growing etc).

Made me smile when the fox appeared behind you. 😊

Another lovely video Emma - exciting news about the greenhouse 😆 we think you’re just lovely 💛

[trevorduffin]

Watching from New Zealand, my wife and I loved seeing the fox 🦊 ❤️🤗

The hard part is not buying one, it's putting it together😂, that would make a great video🎉😂

You work so hard I am older but the stuff you do on your own is amazing x

🤗👍...if you buy the polycarbonate greenhouse, put a base of 6" x 6" fence posts down ( pinned to the soil) then fix the greenhouse to it so it doesn't blow away...cheapest option 😉 👍 Also, wire in each panel. 😁👍

We have foxes and have never had problem with them and our birds. They eat slugs too! They rarely dig up anything so maybe give him a chance, I did chuckle when he sneaked up on you. Emma the Wildlife Whisperer 😂😂

Very pleased for you Emma getting your greenhouse you will have so much fun with it you deserve it as you work so hard. I'm 72 and live in Yorkshire I've gardened for years l wish you were closer I would give you at least one of my forks after seeing yours so if your ever up here let me know once again good luck with with the G. House and make sure you fasten it down well 😊😊

[sticklebacksummer]

Can I just say, you are an absolute sweetheart. Best of luck with the greenhouse.

[isabelrafael]

I get JUST as happy when I see anything germinate - you're doing great!

[Allotment_life]

That was so cute when the fox appeared behind you 🦊

[charlotterydz]

I can’t believe you leave your shed unlocked! Up our way sheds even with multiple locks get broken into for equipment 😔 you are so lucky at your plot that people put things in yours!!! 🎁

Hi Emma - Please take heed of the comments regarding the greenhouse panels flying out - I have a similar greenhouse and had to put strengthening bars across the panels to hold them in. Please make sure you give yourself a couple of weekends with help to erect it and be absolutely sure there is no wind forecast. I do a lot of DIY and I found the greenhouse build really fiddly. Also make sure you get it absolutely level otherwise you will struggle getting the panels to slide in. Hope these comments save you from a few curses!!! Good luck and keep up the vlogs.

Hi Emma as you have chosen polycarbonate Green House it would would be beneficial if you secure the panels with clear silicone i had a smaller one and the kept getting blown out but have not had any further problems withe the silicone, hope you have a wonderful Christmas and wish you all the best for the new year. ❤

Tying up your cauliflower leaves is essentially blanching the heads Emma, so the coloured ones will not be very coloured. Also, if you tie them as tightly as this, you are preventing air flow, which I'm guessing is why most have gone mouldy inside their little parcels 🙃. Keep experimenting, and good luck with the greenhouse prep! ❤

[juliefowkes]

Don’t forget to order your slabs for the base!!! Well done it was so funny you ordered it while filming!!!!

[StevenCollins-um]

It's so true that to have a project like preparing for your greenhouse helps to make you feel motivated and happy - that's exactly how I feel with my allotment projects. I have a greenhouse gifted to me (still in lots of bits in my garden) so it will be useful for me to see you prepare and build yours. Good luck 🙂

I'm so excited for your greenhouse! I know some people aren't keen on polycarbonate panels, but I hope it turns out well for you, Emma.
My small greenhouse is wooden with a full wooden back and perspex windows. I have grown loads in it.
I think if you anchor it down properly, it should be fine.
Well done for taking the plunge 😊

[suemcdonagh]

How lovely to get a gift from fellow plot holders.
Just a heads up regarding the greenhouse, I had a polycarbonate one on the plot I used to have, gust of heavy winds and the poly sheets would go flying!! There is one you tuber who had to put batons on either side of greenhouse to stop this problem.
Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻
