Hello, I’m new to your channel after I finally got the phone call to say that I was next on the allotment list. I binged watched a load of your videos over the weekend and I picked up my keys today 😬 you are giving me lots of inspiration.

An empty and new bed is just a blank canvas for all the art and wonderful plants that will make the bed so rewarding.

Just a little tip for next year, plant borage near the pumpkins! The bees will cover the borage and visit your pumpkins too!

[ninemoonplanet]

If you don't enjoy pulling the male flowers off, an old makeup or paint brush with a point works well to collect the pollen.
Plant sunflower beside the archway, the bees love them, plus if there are sunflowers, borage, and a fre umbrelle flowers nearby those bring in predatory insects to help get rid of pests. Statice is one, I think.

Best way to pollinate the pumpkins if to pull off the male flower (the one with just a stem and no mini pumpkin underneath), peel away the flowers so it's like a paint brush and brush it onto the female one

Thanks for all your lovely videos Emma. A lot of work goes into the production week in week out and is appreciated by us all .
Keep whacking.

Open the roots up a bit before you plant, ..just pull them apart a little so they have a start to be able to spread out and grow nicely. Love watching your videos from here in Ohio!

I love eating the peas from the garden. No one else gets a look in. When I was at school I wouldn’t spend money on sweets but would buy a bag at the greengrocers! Many of the fields in those days were also growing peas to be frozen by Birds Eye. If only they were doing this still

[debbiestickney]

Enjoy watching your videos. You bring a touch of whimsy to the garden that no one else does and it’s wonderful!

Hi Emma, I have just been outside and the slugs and snails are on their march! Check your garden by torch this evening.

I've heard of trying to herd cats but this was the first time I've seen someone try to command a bee!

Pumpkins. Take male flowers off the vine. Peel the petals back to reveal the yellow Stamen. Use that as a brush, over and ''in' the female pistils

Fresh compost is the expectation of growth for whatever you put in the bed, a good feeling!

[ChrisStokes-rvlj]

So someone else enjoys a newly composted bed with all the anticipation and hope for the future. Know how you feel Emma.

[Veggiegarden]

Hi Emma love watching your videos. I also have done well with peas.You just can't beat eating fresh peas from the pod.For me i thing the berries have done so well this year to, so many raspberries and strawberries, 😋
Do you ever make your own compost as i never see you emptying your compost bins.you would save alot of money making your own expecially now you have 2 plots.
Love seeing the Robin come down to eat but i definitely think its a different robin ❤️

[Emma-smio]

I’ve been watching you forever! And you’ve inspired me soooo much! Was going to get an allotment but have now luckily moved to a new house with a huge garden so that’s my allotment! I’m an Emma too! Keep doing what you’re doing, I really look forward to your videos. Emma x

[stevensellars]

I know what you mean about a newly composted bed, I get the same feeling, then when planted up, I feel smug that I've got winter veg!!

Hi Emma, i just came across your channel and after watching this video subscribed straightaway! Loving the way you talk to your plants the birds and the fact you take such joy from nature❤❤❤ I must have smiled or laughed through most of the video rsp watching you hand pollinate the plants😂. Its so great to see such a revivavl in gardening, diy and crafts in this age of technology its a sign of hope that people are getting out there and being practical. Ive finally decided to get back into my garden and grow this year and a few years of neglect, ill definitly be watching your videos for up the good work and do let us know if the flowers pollinated 😂

[beverley]

Hiya Emma, Sunflowers look great and the variety of Nasturtiums. I keep meaning to mention a wee trick, put a used cork atop those screws that stick out here and there as not to get cut etc. Blessings luv southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

Great video Emma, can't wait for the planner to be released!
