It is nice to have an Autumn garden. With this video, we could do a drinking game with the word, "whack." There are so many types of seeds to sow.
Emma turnip is really nice pickled, you put some beetroot in while it pickles, and the turnip comes out a lovely pink colour. Its a middle eastern thing.
The top your wearing is beautiful Emma. . 😊
This is so handy thanks Emma! 🥕🥔
Brilliant, going to chit some more spuds. Lifted my earlies and most of my 2nd earlies already... Tops had died off in the 35-40º heat here in Spain...
Hi Emma, super long list of what can go in now, don't forget all the asian greens like pak choi, mizuna, mibuna, chop suey greens, chinese cabbage, mooli radish, fennel, spinach, beet (chard and beet root) anything that is likely to bolt if planted earlier is great now. If you still have space cover the ground with green manure, if you get the right type of plant they will overwinter and add nutrients to the soil - there are many different types for lots of different uses very easy even with a no dig plot. Green manure would be a good subject for a winter vlog. Best wishes Jenny
great advice! Thanks!
I never chit my potato's, ive always reminded myself farmers dont chit, whack them in! 😊
U can save all your left over loo rolls to sow seeds in, the eventually rot in rhe ground.
Emma, next time for your carrots (or parsnips), you can save yourself some of the sieving if you just do enough to fill some kitchen roll tubes that you then put in the plantpot and then fill around with scraggly compost. Then sow in the kitchen roll tubes. It worked great for my parsnips anyway :)
Oh that is genius! What a great hack, thanks for sharing!!
What an amazing tip! Do you leave the rolls in to breakdown into the compost or pull them up and out? 💚
@@charlotterydz6343 leave them in. The cardboard breaks down.
@@fordtelly6573 thank you ☺️ I’m going to give this a go 🤞
🤞🏻 for your carrots - I grow mine in a trough on top of the patio table, when I thinned them out I didn’t have the heart to throw them away like you hear you should and thank god I didn’t as I have two buckets that are growing brilliantly, pulled one out the other day to check and it’s growing fine, probably ready by end of August hopefully 🥕 🥕 🥕
Oh that’s brilliant! My rabbit loves to eat the ones I pull up, he’s not bothered if it’s fully grown or not! 😂
What kind of depth trough? Thanks in advance 😊
Favourite time of the week! We got our allotment back in May and your videos have been my go to for all the ups, downs and laughs! Keep doing what you do best ❤🌻
Amazing to hear and congrats on your plot! Xx
My dad was helping me put in T-posts today to build a trellis for my climbing plants and he told me I could probably squeeze in another potato (have 4 so far). Maybe next year or the following year, I suppose, as I don’t have a potato to get sprouty. Maybe I’ll get a potato and try chitting on my window sill. I am going to try to sow more carrots and some greens in my grow bags, plus adding another round of Lima beans in the garden proper. My first frost usually falls mid-October though, so in about a month I’m going to start sowing my cover crops in time for them to mature before the frost kills them.
Try to keep the pot with the carrots on a surface that is around 2ft high to avoid carrot rootfly.
great that's motived me to keep carrying on with the sowing, and right through next month as well because even if we run out of time in some cases small home grown veg is better than nothing isn't it
Thanks, Emma! I love watching your videos. I learn so much.
Thanks! X
When l plant potatoes in a pot, l always put the soil up to the top of the bag/pot, never had any problems with them always got potatoes
This is good to know, so it doesn’t reduce the growing to fill it right away? But I guess it’s a bit more effort to water early on.
I've been waiting Emma, I'm hooked to your videos! Thank you!!!🎉
Haha! Thank you! Hope you liked it! Xx
@@emmasallotmentdiaries I'm gushing right now! I loved it. I have Maris pipers chitting at the moment too. That word is one letter away from a whole different meaning... chitting. Have I spelt that right?! Anyway, I think you need to do a 'carry on' Emma style on your shirts or bags, "keep calm and whack stuff in". X
For carrots, the soil must be constantly moist (24/7) for three weeks after setting.
Soil should be fine, well draining and rich in organic matter.
Yes!! Great advice. This is where I was going wrong with my carrots I think! I underestimate how quickly the seeds can dry out!
Thank you Emma its lovely to be able sow More crops 😊xx
Great to see another vlog. Well done. Loved it x
My rabbit fencing got damaged they got in and eat everything in sight. Veg gone, plants and shrubs damaged. Total disaster. Got some great customers helping me out using their green houses and lots of spare plants and shrubs being donated. On a good note i have a song thrush nesting in my espalier cherry tree and they love slugs and snails. The joys 🤣
Same happened to me. So disheartening
Oh no, so sorry to hear this. It’s so devastating when this sort of thing happens, I really feel your pain. Glad to hear people are helping you out and that you are still seeing the positives in your garden! Keep going, it’ll come together I’m sure x
O, a song thrush! That’s lovely 😊
Well got home today after batteling flys , clegs and every other biting nipping nasty so and so. Mother thrush looked a bit bulgy in her nest. i have a new family ❤️. her husband is still a bit paranoid of me but he mostly roots in the Laurel. So proud of her a Raven was snooping very close last night to her nest so a gentle choo and flew away. Now if im in the garden and she needs a rest from nest duties she flys right up to me and if im happy she goes off for some food. ive put out mealworms and water for her raised so no vermon can be attarcted. Rabbits still getting in nothing left but i have new garden prioritys. And i love this channel. evrybody needs a song thrush in their life. 👌
Turnips, even if they go "woody" peel and slice into small peaces and freeze as there great yo add to homemade pasties and pies.
That's a lot of whacking 😊
Love your videos - they are so natural, realistic and informative. Thank you!
Thank you!
You can use a green potato as a seed potato though. Great video, Emma.
Ah great idea, I never thought of that!
Great video, thank you Emma xxxx
I have some peas soaking to do an experiment. Have started lettuces, basil, turnips, spinach, kales, salad onions, leeks for baby leeks, carrots, potatoes and rocket. Oh, and some of the Asian greens.
Great video Emma! I have had no luck growing basil! Maybe I had a dodgy batch as people say it should be easy! 🌿
Same here 🌿 I keep thinking I’m seeing seedlings then I realise they are weeds 😢
Fantastic video keep up the amazing work in your home garden 🪴
Thank you x
Mizuna and Pac-Choi
Oh great choices!! Mizuna is amazing, I grow it in pots x
Really great tips only thing id change is the terracotta pot as they're porous so dry out fast, fab vlog emma love the potato bags 🥰
Emma i love ur videos oh my life
Im banging on about nettles and old bramble twigs again I can not believe that nobody believes me Ive been gardening for 52 years now basically surround brassicas with nettles to feed and old bramble’s with a nettle and old blackberry mulch Im asking channels I subscribe to for an experimental video to try with me hopefully your on board happy gardening Richard x
I'm on board Richard!! Is this just for brassica plants? Do I have to cut them up small, or just pull them up and whack them around the plants? x
@@emmasallotmentdiaries any vulnerable plants i just bend them round ware gloves lots round base as you know they can stretch over stuff happy gardening
Really helpful, thanks Emma! Given the weather isn’t exactly summer here in the U.K. I’m still just chucking stuff in and hoping for the best 😂
I'm gonna sow some dwarf beans, lettuce, carrots, beetroot. I might try all year cauliflower and defo gonna plant more nasturtiums
I grow very small carrots in pots in my garden as like you, don’t have success at the allotment. Well done you for that sieving
Thank you very much for sharing Emma. I've sown carrots 🥕radishes and some lettuce today. I didn't have space for kohlrabi yet. Greetings Heidi 👩🌾💕
Great video 👍 good advice
Hi Emma,lm going to put some more dwarf French beans in direct tomorrow and that's it.lve got things still growing but lm due a bit of a rest 😆🤭 We have quite a large allotment and there are plenty of jobs to keep us going over the Autumn months.The weather down in Torbay has been BRUTALLY HOT and warn us out,so yes a bit of a rest is due.Happy Gardening Sweetie ❤
Ah, makes sense! I thought I had planted dwarf beans, but they are taller than my pumpkins now so apparently not! 😂
Thanks I feel much better now about not planting too much more for a while, my allotment is still in a state from when I got it. I’ll mulch beds and get it all weeded and tidied up without constantly feeling like I’m playing catch up. I’ve got plenty growing and a few things ready to plant out, so it won’t be an empty plot and I will whack in some broad beans and garlic later in the year. Oh and it’s firming compost, soil compacts compost doesn’t. Looking forward to Fridays vlog x
Amazing, sounds like a plan! Lots of plot holders where I am have covered some of their beds already, not everyone likes to grow right into the colder months. And thanks for the tips!
i had a really good germination rate with my container carrots earlier in year by covering the seeds with a fine layer of that coir stuff, i just did it on a whim as had some laying around, it seems to really stay moist so i think it helped! no idea if it was the right thing to do tho haha
Yet another brilliant vlog Emma. I do have one question though. Where did you get your seed potatoes from? Did you save them from when you planted earlier in the year? I grow my potatoes in bags ( I don't have an allotment but grow lots of veg in pots and raised beds etc) and would like to grow some for Christmas/winter, but I haven't got, or can't find any seed potatoes now. By the way, a cheaper alternative to using multi-purpose compost is to use growbag compost. I use it all the time and in bigger pots/bags, I fill halfway with bags of topsoil and then the top half with growbag compost. Looking forward to your next vlog. Happy gardening!
Wilkos, b&q and even Amazon have lots of potato seeds available right now. And thanks for the tips x
I’ve put coriander in few weeks ago and they’ve already come up
Yes, seeds will come up quickly at this time of year! Keep whacking stuff in! 😂
Nice ❤❤❤I am new friend 🙏🙏🙏
I'm the other way love coriander can't be doing with parsley. Even though I have parsley growing atm but no coriander. That's for everybody else 🤷
Haha! My rabbit loves parsley. I agree with you, I’m not a massive fan. But that bunny is eating me out of house and home so I need to grow it! 😂
Hi I just plant and fill up to the top my potatoes thay always come up
Oh really! I might top it up a bit then because the squirrels have had some fun digging in it! 🤦♀️
Squirrels? Seriously? That’s wonderful! I would gladly offer up some flowers and veg to support squirrels.
I fill my potatoes up to the top too. They find their way up
This and every single video you do helps us x keep up the great amazing work and keep uploading the videos . I do have 1 question what’s the best ways to keep the allotment watered whist on holiday if you don’t have someone to help you ?
Ah well, I’ve used plastic bottles filled with water around vulnerable plants before. Just pop some small holes in the tops and push them in the ground so the water is released slowly. Worked on my tomatoes x
Soo get a bottle poke holes in too and whack it in , Brilliant thank you.
I have been growing butternut squash and I'm a little concerned because a female flower has opened and none of the male flowers have opened yet. I really hope a male opens soon. Usually male flowers open first I know this but I'm a little confused. My cucumbers are doing so well thou. I was hoping the squash would be good too.
I’m not sure why that might be, but maybe give them some more time and see what happens. If the plant looks healthy and is still growing then it might very well sort itself out! X
marigold's ?
When earthing up don’t completely cover the tops
Thanks, great tip!
Beets?
Not a fan, but yes that would be a great thing to whack in now!
Aren’t you lovely?
Emma I love watching your allotment (and garden) shows but I MUST tell you that I do NOT want to have to endure - yes ENDURE - your constant promoting other companies I find it infuriating and I get so angry that I'm not even interested in the discounts
But you don’t have to endure anything. You are free not to watch!
That is what I do but I know many others don't like it either and we'd rather see her telling us more about the allotment and/garden and enjoying her humorous comments, these companies are getting all our favourite presenters being swamped with free advertising!
@@jeanarcher1860I’m sorry you feel that way. I was just trying to earn a little extra money this month in time for the summer hols. There will be no more ads on this channel from next week from now on. All free content!
@@emmasallotmentdiaries
thank you for your reply Emma, and I look forward to many more visits to your allotment and garden, I am 83 years old and disabled and cannot be active any more so I have get my pleasure watching those who can. You are by no means the only presenter doing this and appreciate your reply and your understanding, you have helped so many people who are just starting or need a boost, keep up the good work.
Hi Jean, you’re lucky you’re not swamped by angry messages by all the rude people on here who don’t agree with your opinion and comment. Seems it upsets people when comments are made that others don’t agree with…and that’s apparently not allowed on here!, even if we do it in a polite manner. Take care. 🙏
