    Just found your channel today Emma and it’s perfect timing. I’m in Yorkshire in the UK and about to take over an allotment this week. I’ve never had one before so it will be a big learning curve. I’m hoping to grow both flowers and veggies on the plot. I too am scared of spiders so the job of clearing/cleaning the shed will be solely down to my other half. I’ve already got a lot of seedlings that I autumn started and I can’t wait to plant these out after the last frost!! I’ll be interested in following your channel in future.

      im in yorkshire aswell, we've had our plot for about 1 month now, wouldn't worry too much about spiders, im not a fan of them either but i get the wife to deal with them haha. She has these plants called creeping tyme which is meant to be good at keeping spiders away, got some in the potting shed and ive not seen a single one.

      Yes 100% I always use loo rolls for my sweet peas. Sit them tight in an old ice cream tub and fill them with soil, add the seeds and they grow amazingly well. You can then plant then straight out in the rolls as they bio degrade

    Emma I trust you are using a kneeling pad otherwise in later years you will find you get squared off knees that look as if you have kneeling disfunction. Take it from one who has this problem and if overseas on vacation you will know when someone looks at your bared legs and makes a silent comment . They know !!
