Apologies for the lack of clarity! I just didn’t want to come across as a “gossip” but I realise it might be frustrating for you as viewers!
It was very petty, just someone trying to tell me how I should be doing things and moaning about some weeds that aren’t even on my plot. It just felt petty and made me feel a bit down and attacked you know? So I left and I was in such a hump I ended the vlog with a big rant which I edited out because I realised how stupid the whole situation was!
Allotment drama ah?
Hope that answers some of the questions and sorry to leave you hanging! xx
❤ I had one of them at my allotment. I just used to laugh at him. He probably has no self awareness. Don't let it put you off you've done an amazing job.
I would definitely report this. So unnecessary for him to come and have a go, when all you’re doing is working in your own space and trying to enjoy your hard work - swear some people have no respect!
Rant away love ❤
You do you, tell them to bugger off love. 😂❤❤❤❤
Karen’s and Kevin’s truly be everywhere 😂
Emma you should report that person to the allotment committee. Try not to let him upset you. If you want to go on a Sunday you go.
Your plots looking great. 😀
I agree! Everyone should feel safe everyday on their allotments. Your encounter with one of those people who have two things important to them, one of them is their opinions. Report them. You might not be the only person but that person will be put on the radar!
You have many, many people who love tuning into your channel every week and how much you have done. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Emma, as a Chairman of our allotment I agree you must report this to a committee member, it is out of order , this is your Happy place , do not stand for any discontent from others , your doing a great Job
take care
PT
Please report this person, you shouldnt have to put up with aggressive behaviour from anyone. Whatever their problem, they should deal with it as an adult and not bully anyone, particularly a young woman. I hope you had your camera filming as you may need proof. If not, please keep filming in the future if there is any bullying. Bless you 🙂 ❤
Hi Emma. You could weave your poles through the big ones. It will also help stabilize the structure. Ignore bullies. You’re better than they are, and they know it. It’s their insecurities that makes them that way. Love your vlog and content. xox from Canada 🇨🇦. P.S. I think your oval shaped tomatoes are a type of Roma tomato. Great for making paste and sauce.
Soorry you had a run in with an allotment grouch , Emma. Sadly these people do exist , but as you said the majority of plot holders are pleasant and helpful. I like your positivity regarding your anxiety. Your gladioli look amazing and I don't blame you for not wanting to cut them.
Emma your allotment is full of love and food that's perfect it's amazing what you have achieved 100% 😊
Emma! you seemed to really be enjoying your time there and getting lots done. You weren't bothering anyone... I am always talking to myself in my garden while I work. I am sorry someone upset you. Try not to take it to heart. ❤️
Don't let the bully get to you Emma, you have done a fantastic job at clearing up your new plot and caring for both plots as a whole. You have battled the weeds and the elements over winter, your first year on your new plot has been a challenge because the weather has been difficult and it's the year of the slug. Your allotment should feel like a safe place for you to enjoy being in any day of the week. What ever his complaint or dispute is, he has no right to make you feel intimidated. Your plot is looking great Emma!
I started out chatting and smiling to everyone but you soon learn who had bad vibes and who to avoid . Ive learnt not to give any second chances to these people and i just pretend they dont exist now . I was shocked to witness how much drama there is at sites when its such a sanctuary and happy place for me i will not tolerate these sorts. Avoid avoid avoid it will soon be far in the past . Absolutely stunning your plot is looking ❤
Dont know how anyone could get upset with you. If someone doent like what Im doing or making too much noise I just tell them to piss off. They have to cross onto my land to complain so they can leave or be removed their choice. Luckily my neighbors keep to themselves and dont bother anyone. Love what you do Emma! Keep your head held high and sow em how its done!!!
I just want to say well done and thank you for sharing your struggles with anxiety. It is so helpful when people share their experiences and makes us feel we are not alone in our own struggles 💖
I understand anxiety, I can't sit with my back to people without it. I had a panic attack on The Underground, I walk with a stick and people whizz by like racehorses.
The garden is my medicine.
Your gladioli are fabulous😊
Do you want us to come sort him out Emma 😂. Unfortunately there are those that think they run the place or know better than you. I'll also say there are those who pick in the female allotment holders. Jerks
On the absolute gorgeous side are those glads. Stunners. Chin up and dig on. ❤❤❤
A few thousand of us turn up 😂, he’ll think twice next time 😂
Well done Emma, i could write a book on the grumpy so ans so,s that frequent allotment plots worse they're on the committees, fortunately i had so many wonderful friends that helped me deal with the odd #×!×#. Hope you too have lovely friends on yours too. Im sure ,like me, all us who follow you would give you a great big hug to help you deal with your anxiety. God bless you ,your plot looks fab.❤
Don't let anyone bully you Emma! You have done an amazing job with those plots they are thriving! You should be so proud of what you have done. ❤
Gladiolus are stunning. Proper strawberries & cream 🤩
I’m with you Emma, about the Gladioli…I can’t bear to cut them and put them in a vase. Each floret is perfection….i love to see them in the garden. I’ve only just discovered your channel so I’m enjoying playing catch up.
You have had your first 'Karen' moment! Don't let it bother you! Some people get extremely jealous of other people that they envy! Tell your husband, but whatever you do don't let this person change what you want to do, otherwise he will think he has won! Stay strong and carry on, you are better than him, remember that!
Please don't use the name as a slur, it's very offensive
Your next project, now that you are a competent 'builder!' A hammock! Nothing is more relaxing than an hour reading or snoozing in a hammock. The best way to watch things grow!
Bullies are everywhere now, feel sorry for them!
Your gladiolus looks beautiful
Cucumbers will love that. They are tough plants when the warmth comes. I'm so badly missing them this year it's been very tough on the cakes all the best. Great music btw on the clips
I can't get over the difference in the corn from last vid to this!! Just wow, last vid I was patting myself on the back because my corn was a tad taller and now I'm looking at it all sad again 😅.
I'm so glad you're feeling better. I wanted to give you a big hug with the anxiety you were feeling but did not know what to say. I'm glad you feel you can share that part of your journey though 🤗
I'm so glad I bumped I to another UK GARDEN CHANNEL SO I CAN GET SOME IDIA ON MY GARDEN YOU ARE DOING GREAT ALL MY CUCUMBER 🥒 I PLANTED DIE I JUST PLANT SOME THIS MORNING JULY 27 LOL JUST TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOMETHING 😀
Well he sounds like a big brave man, picking on a young woman on her own. Report him. Your plot is looking delightful 😊
Should make a police report.. too many women are killed each year by angry aggressive toxic men taking their rage out on the closest woman. Society plays this down but it is a very real danger.
Yes ..definitely report him !
@@deborahhw8030 not only report him to the allotment people go file a police report.. the guy could be dangerous if he is out yelling at women in an allotment.. best to create a paper trail
Yes report them person don't let them up set you. You done a very good job
Your gladioli are stunning. I’m really sorry you were treated like that. Some people are just weird, and yes, something like the allotment can bring out the worst of them. Hugs.
Hopefully someone in charge will see this and sort it ,you are doing brilliant 👍👍
Be safe. Thank you !
Jealousy makes some people nasty Emma. Pay him no heed. It's so impressive what you have achieved and you have inspired me so much.
Everything is looking so lush. Love the cucumber structure, I have an almost identical one just smaller in size.
Entirely agree with the many supportive comments on this video - intimidating, bullying, or event just unfriendly behaviour is unacceptable. My plot has a code of conduct in place that builds in respectful interactions even if about a disagreement. This is something for your committee or officer to know about, even if it’s just to log it for the future - you are unlikely to be the first person this has happened to and it’s only in sharing it that it can be stopped. Please don’t in any way attribute the cause of the unfriendliness to yourself - it wasn’t your recording of your vlog that caused his unacceptable behaviour, that’s just his excuse. Keep your positivity and your enjoyment of your plot and all the hard work you’ve put into it to make it such a lovely place.
Use the straight vertical part of your cucumber structure for the peas❤
I would definitely report the situation to your allotment committee.
Your plot is doing great, dont let that 1 person stop you going and spending time on your plot. Keep going sundays, maybe take the kids & hubby along with a picnic. Weather permitting obviously 😊
If its a council run allotment, you can report him to them. We've had an allotment for 25 years and thankfully we've not had anyone that bad. You really could have done without that right now with feeling anxious. Please report him though, he has no right to be like that with you. Take care Emma ❤ xxx
Wow, so sorry you had a bad experience. You certainly don't deserve it. Chin up! 🤗
I would report your issue, it's anti social...Take care. You are brilliant!❤
Hi Emma, the allotment looks great. Keep up the good work.
Hi Emma, For your cucumber and pea structures, I would have made an A frame with cucumbers up one side and peas on the other. 😊
I thought people on an allotment establishment were supposed to be really supportive to each other. Like helping each other out when one goes away on holiday etc. 🤔 Makes me thinking again now if it's worth applying for an allotment plot if my neighbours turn out to be grumpy snotty toffee nosed sods.
Apply for a plot , don't let anyone put you off! You will love it, growing healthy food and enjoying your space! Ignore the neighbours if you want..I do!!
Your archway looks lush Emma and your corn is much bigger than mine. Well done 🎉
Oh Emma, please report this person to the allotment committee or council .You shouldn't be getting any bother from anyone and especially to the point you go home and are worried about going on your plot .. these people have very sad lives if all they can do is pick on people who are minding their own and enjoying themselves ..hugs lovely x
Emma don’t let anyone make you feel you have to leave your happy place. Got to be strong in those situations against pushy people. The tomato plants look like San Marzano and are a lovely sweet, oval variety. Lots of love.
Hugs and understanding Emma we feel your pain and l know we are your followers we are angry that anyone think they can talk to you like that l don't think you will report him but you should I'm so sorry 😢
Emma I read that out adrenal glands contribute to feeling anxious and taking Vitamin B1 helps with that. I started taking the B1 along with K2-D3 and VitB complex and I tell you it has really helped me with feeling anxious and no more dizziness.
Tell us where he is and we'll come and sort him out for you. Nobody upsets our lovely Emma! Sending you a big hug. 🫂❤️
We'll send her a group hug . On second thoughts maybe 36,000 people might not fit into the allotment and Einstein could be scared away permanently
Yes! These is always light on the other side... I think that gardening helps
The plot is looking so beautiful Emma.
Anxiety is horrid love.
I'm in general a very strong person but working on the covid sites and dealing with a lot of scared and poorly people broke my mental health my anxiety was a dark place for me but I turned to gardening ( which I'd never think I'd do) it's helped me so much as of now I feel I can now hold my own in life. So keep the calmness of your garden to help you "grow". ❤❤
Sorry you had to experience that. I think your plot is wonderful. Love all your ideas. And you are “real” like me this is what we do for fun and not to be experts and perfectionists. Take care and keep up the good work.
Hi Emma, sorry you had to suffer the allotment grouch, always one. You are doing great, ignore them.
Hi Emma I hope you get over your anxiety as soon as possible it’s not a good feeling, I use to suffer with it but mine just wet away after all those years, now that is so good hope I never ever get that feeling again, wishing you well Emma
If it makes you feel any better I have had an horrendous discovery in my garden. Rats have dug under the ground and created such a mess. Thankfully not to any crops but it is awful. I have never seen so much movement off earth.😢🐀. But on a brighter note your gladioli are beautiful and cheerful. Lifted me up again. Thank you Emma.
Rise above it and don’t focus on the negative 😢You’re my fav RUclipsr ( I’m 59 and own an allotment) thanks for keeping it so real !!!! 🌸💐🌸🌸🌸
Oh Emma, I'm sorry after you were so careful about filming you met some total plonker. Take care x❤
You're a delight. It looks so great!!! I'm so sorry you had that unfortunate experience of meeting that hurting/angry person. ❤❤ Take care of yourself and try not to let him dampen your spirit! 🙏
There's nothing worse than someone who is nasty on allotments it spoils it
*EMMA - compromise!!* Pick JUST ONE flower off the bottom of a gladdy stem and put that in a tiny vase on a windowsill where you'll see it constantly and marvel at it's beauty. It'll give you the added joy of remembering how beautiful they are in all their full glory at the allotment. Cheers from Oz!!
Great video that idiot really not helping your stress levels Stay Positive your plot is looking good ❤
Love a video showcasing all your creative trellises. I love them.
Re the nasty person, I'm scare of them because I think they are like a virus and that there's any chance of catching what they have!! They create a horrible time for themselves and anyone in their path.
I run an allotment for a small council - it is the greatest source of 'challenges' in my day/week/month/year. Our charges are ridiculously small given our location but people moan about them. Our maintenance budget is tiny but the allotment holders want everything gold plated. Nobody will do anything outside of their own plot and they snipe at each other like two year olds all the time. If we didn't have a legal obligation to provide the allotments, I get rid of them in an instant.
Oh my god! Some people are horrible. Please don’t let this spoil your time at your allotment.
See you again very glad .
Hope you're ok Emma - don't let the bully upset you. Your plot and your vlogs are an inspiration to so many people! Keep calm and carry on gardening ❤
It always happens to me this time of year I think it's something to do with mother nature telling you to save nuts and berries for winter have you tried keeping a diary of when your anxiety is worse to see if there's a pattern one year from the next your garden is great I've learnt how to deal with my ADHD and anxiety but it's still a battle every day
I have a tip for you.. Add screw in eye hooks into the corners of your beds, or drill some holes - then you can use string or wire to tie the support legs of your structure in the corners (where they will be stronger anyway. You could try drilling holes in the top of the sticks if you can, that's what I do, so when I make a little 3/4 point tipee... I can wrap wire or string and tie them all together. They've lasted me 3 seasons so far even in strong winds :) *hope you and the fam are doing well matey and remember... just keep pushing on and enjoying nature - that's all any of us can really do anyway! much love x
I was having a wonderful day at my allotment and someone just ruined it. I was going to give up my plot because of it But now I'm bloody well going stay and they can pass off! Solidarity! 😊
I felt the same recently but let's not let the bast*rds get us down!!!

Please refrain from using coarse language Sarah its unbecoming of a lady of your social sanding. 🙏

@@trevorwills3356 how about myob? 🖕🏽
Don't let that person get you down, Emma ❤
I wouldn't depend on wind pollination with such a small patch of corn. Hand shake each stall when it's calm. Wind pollination is great when there is a large patch of a field full, but a few stalks won't do very well with wind. Every silk left unpollinated is another empty spot on the cob!
dont let idiots upset you
I've given up removing suckers from my tomatoes. It's only really necessary if you have a small window of oppertunity for the tomatoes to ripen. If you grow seeds early in the year and are able to put them out after your last frost date then you stand a good chance of them maturing and producing plenty of tomatoes before the cold weather arrives. However, if you have a small window then go for the sucker removal as it does focus the energy on already growing tomatoes.
Fantastisch Good work emmas you the best te moostiun te planting te Bloems thans te video Top week 🌺🤗👍🧤💐🌤️🥒🌽🍅💞
What other allotment holders say to you Emma does not diminish the amount of hard work and dedication you have put into both your plots. Their comments do not define you as a person, their comments define the kind of judgemental, selfish, petty and aggressive people they are. Take heart that your plots bring you joy whilst theirs must obviously bring them stress and small mindedness.
Hi Emma . Would you ever consider moving to the countryside where you could have a big enough garden to grow your own fruit , vegetables and flowers.? It would also sort your anxiety problem out.
My cucumbers are 5ft tall with many cucumbers growing on them, in a plastic small greenhouse mind
Plot is looking great Emma!
Hi Emma, go to the allotment what ever day you want to go. If he trays this again go to the Police. Take no shit.
Hi Emma, sorry to hear about your experience with other plot holder.. awful when that happens 😢 Hope you are OK, your anxiety too could be linked to perimenopause? as I went through that too. Take care x
It’s not allotment plots. Plenty of people are very aggressive. I work for the railway.the number of “posh” people who think it acceptable to be verbally abusive is incredible. After 38 years I don’t think I have gone 6 months without a “customer” spitting at me. Fortunately it’s one in 100,000 but when you meet one - you don’t forget them!
God that's awful andrew, spitting is just vile.
Emma, get a 25 ft. roll of 4 or 5 foot tall 4" X 4" welded wire fencing. It lasts for years and makes wonderful trellises.
Emma I’m so sorry you’ve experienced that, just know that whatever happened it’s a reflection on them and not you. You triggered something that they don’t like about themselves and they didn’t like it so they projected it on to you. You are a lovely person ❤
Hi Emma, I love your videos and have been binge watching your older ones; I loved the one where you said Maybe you should call your vlog "what died this week at Emma's Allotment" ! I agree with trying to film anyone behaving badly towards you, but filming them might make them even worse....
everyone's aloud to get grumpy sometimes after all we are family & tomorrow is a new day :)
So sorry about your experience. You definitely shouldn’t be made to feel unsafe on your allotment plot. You should definitely let the allotment manager know as the person may do it again if they are an angry person xx
Use pepper flakes to keep slugs away
Gardener's Delight are Cherry Tomatoes.
thats allotment life emma; some people are quite competitive, or picky because of the council rules. it doesnt happen often, dont worry about it. when you're at home, think up a smart reply to them. dont grumble on the the web, as they might see it.
Oh no! What happened??! What were they moaning about?
Hi Emma, gutted you had to go through meeting a nasty person at the allotment. Please don’t let that person change your routine and what works best for you, obviously I want you safe, but if that’s the case you definitely need to report it. It’s your space, it’s your plot and it’s your time, and they can go and ‘do one’ in my opinion! I would make a point of turning up again next Sunday! Bullies shouldn’t get away with making you feel bad in anyway. ❤❤
Sorry to hear about the bully, it shouldn’t stop you from going in on Sundays, at least take your husband with you next Sunday.
Amber upset you know he two plots?
Corn can self pollinate but it’s better to cross pollinate, which is why it’s advised to plant corn in tight groups, usually as square, so they can pollinate one another. A gentle shake is helpful but a bit of gentle dusting going from plant to plant pretending you are a bee is even better 🐝
Sorry to hear about your problems with this allotment idiot , I think you should report him to the committee but I know it's easy for me to say Emma , take care and keep trying to enjoy your gardening xx
Emma I’m really sorry you had to leave early due to someone’s bad behaviour. Is there a way you can report, for your safety and others on the plots?
I hope since this visit you’ve been back and all was good 🤞
Really interesting shaped tommies, like those Italian plummy types. 💚
It’s like a cozy english mystery storyline
Report whoever it was intimidating you Emma!
Why not grow the peas up the straight side of the cucumber frame?
I once let chard go to seed, didn't collect them. They've been coming up like cress for the last two years. Lol.
There is a behaviour policy for this borough, if someone has shouted, been aggressive etc you can report them & they will get a warning. Then if it happens again they can get the tenancy terminated. Hopefully you have their plot number.
Your sweetcorn looks amazing😂
Fantastisch Good work Emmas you the best te moostuin te planting klimplant komkommers you te best beautfel looks moostuin thans te video Top week 🪴👍🌤🥒💐☘️🧤🍅
Nobody has the right to harass you please report the. Your followers look beautiful and wow your corn is fantastic
Aww Emma 😢, I hope you don't let this idiot put you off going to the allotment.. he needs reporting. I think you should get your hubby to go down for a couple of Sundays. There's some right horrible people in the world.. especially when they intimidate a woman all on her own xx
Totally agree, he sounds like a bullying misogynist
