My wife and I were in the garden today and we saw a Robin fly into the vegetable beds, I said Einstein you are a long way from home and my wife just looked with a confused look on her face! 😂😂😂😂
😆 I'm sure Emma has said, but is he called Einstein because he's clever enough to work out when his food is being released from the ground?? 🤔
Hello emma! When you clean around the apple tree , be sure to add some well rotted manure and give it a trim before it gets too cold, 🍎🍎🍎🍎
Fish in tomato sauce won’t harm Rocky, my vets advised me that with really sick cats they offer them this to encourage them to eat. It won’t harm him once but I wouldn’t feed him that often. If he has a home it is best not to feed him. Can you ask around ? Or you can buy paper collars you can write on to see if someone answers you. Love your energy and you make me smile - well done on the allotment x
We did deadwood fences to separate our garden,birds love it and the bugs do.
I’m so happy that you are feeding Rocky. I can’t help but think he doesn’t have a home. Thank you ❤ 🐈⬛
You've gotten so much done! It's really coming along so nicely. Have a great weekend, Emma.
So exciting watching all the action and activity!
Looking so good. Well done, Emma! Loved your choice of music while you were laying out the beds.😘
Whoop! We’ll done Emma! Looking great! X
Thank you Emma its looking amazing love your dancing 🎉🎉🎉
A very productive day...love your gardening friends!!!
Dear Emma, Just had to tell you how you inspired me! We put in 4 new raised bed to be used next spring. We have a HUGE yard full of leaves that I knew I should rake and put in the bottom of the beds but the task was so daunting, I didn’t want to do it. Then I thought of your persistence and determination. You have been working on your new plot in small areas at a time and amazing progress has been made. Proud to say, I’ve been raking some each day and I know I’ll be glad to have nice leaves composting in my new raised beds. You should know that your effort in making videos is appreciated by many and that you have inspired people all over the world! I’m one of them!
Unbelievable transformation! Look at everything you have done Emma! You deserve a huge pat on the back! Amazing work. From North Carolina
You’re doing colossal work and I love your raised bed technique, just whack’im up
Hi Emma, those clumps of ornamental grass were all over my plot. I couldn’t dig them out but one day realised that if you grab a few strands at a time and pull straight upwards they actually come out! It seems illogical but this is what worked for me - made the job much shorter.
Hi Emma you have done an amazing job all on your own well done it’s gonna be great once it’s all planted and growing. 👍🙋🏻♀️
Best advice I had when I was doing this job was to kneel in front of the bed and make the gap just wider than the knee to end of foot which often is the width of the membrane sheeting.
Hi Emma all your hard work is paying off you plot is definitely taking shape ,what you need to get those grasses out is a mattock (a garden pick axe )Amazon sell them about £27 an well worth the money we got one for our allotment a brilliant tool gets rid of roots no problem .Also you mentioned getting another shed , well I can tell you every shed new or otherwise gets spiders the best ones for keeping spiders away are the plastic sheds ,I know cos I hate spiders 🕷 ,love your jumper too, anyway take care xx
The plot is taking shape, you should feel very pleased. I couldnt tell you how many times my vege patch beds were re-arranged on paper into different designs. I made the mistake in my first vege patch 20 odd years ago, making the beds too wide, and I was unable to reach into the middle without actually stepping into it. these days I prefer narrower beds where I can reach my arm the entire width of the bed, makes more beds but more efficient in planting and maintenance. Im in australia and have only just planted my summer veges outside, we are still dropping to night temps of 5 degree celsius which is ridiculous only 2 weeks out from summer.
You are doing a fantastic job Emma 💪🏻 ❤
What an amazing journey with you on your new plot keep up the fantastic work on your garden 🌱🪴
Emma you were born for this 😄a natural, i love how you keep your head down and keep plugging away. It's going to be beautiful!!!
I;m looking forward to the wildlife corner, the natural fence is a fab idea....frame the plot nicely.
i like you, doing it alone, keep going, a short year from now, you w'ont recognize the plot.
all your hard work will be worth it, your 80% way there!
Whatever you can do now will be a great help for next spring, go handy, do what you can, enjoy the little wins. main thing is to enjoy the process.
Hi Emma it’s coming together you have worked really hard ! Congratulations well done 👏👏👏👏 enjoyed every minute lv Irene 😘 xx
Hi Emma you are doing wonders on your new plot 😊 why not try using a spade shovel and divide those tough clumps of grass into halves or quarters instead of trying to dig up in one go.
Hi Emma, do you know the saying When a robin appears,a loved one is near! I think your little robin is watching over you.❤❤
Starting to look really organised
I applaud your moving forward so quickly! Well done! Enjoying each improvement you've been making.
It looks really good. I laughed when you talked about digging out blackberries as I am struggling to keep my second order alive!! High temperature and little rain, but I persevere!!
great video, the progress you've made is really substantial. it's going to pay off 10 fold in terms of the harvests you'll have next year
I have just made a dead hedge for my new mushroom bed (a low one) it looks fab and I'm looking forward to it rotting and giving the wildlife homes
What a cutie pie I thought he was the fox because he’s so big lol silly Rocky. I love your shirt so cute. I am excited to see that Einstein Jumper beautiful beautiful you’re doing great work.
Looking amazing Emma 🎉
Isn't that what gardening / growing is all about learning as you do it making mistakes changing your mind / plans. The allotment is looking good coming along
Great work Emma! Your plot is looking amazing :) I am hoping to get down to my allotment tomorrow (think its supposed to be sunny) Finding you a massive inspiration to get down there and make some progress on my big tidy up. Rocky seemed to enjoy the sardines and I just love how Einstein gets so close to you as you work.
It’s coming along so nicely Emma! Your hard work clearly shows 👍
Its really looking great Emma well done👏
Our allotments are much stricter no lawns play equipment, no ponds not too many flowers. My neighbour was told he’s not there to sit he’s there to work! Weekly inspections in summer. Aggressive letters or phone calls if it’s not up to standard with 10 days notice to sort it. Plots are generally bad when you get them too x
Rain, always cleans things up, when you don't catch grass, rain will wash some clippings in and the grass will quite often spring back up and grow overnight.
The card is wonderful, it was great and informative
Emma!! You are simply amazing...it's a TON of hard work...great job love the new merch too!! Ox to Einstein and Rocky...they love you!!! Ox from New Hampshire USA
Nice update Emma
Looking good you done amazing.x
Shouldn't give a cat food from the tin it will cut its tongue. Those edges are razor sharp Emma.
Maybe she had the one that has a pull tab.Of course if you are using a can opener NO!!
@@delphine88313 the pull tab ones are still sharp. No cat owner with any sense would let their cat eat straight from a tin like that.
@@Ricky-gu6xn look she explained she didn't have a dish.Plus who wants to dump sardines on the ground the smell lingers.All she was trying to do is feed the cat. Send her a dish ok.smh
@@delphine88313 you don't let an animal eat from a tin full stop! 🛑 I don't care if she don't have a dish, you improvise. If she can put a plaster around a plant she can find something to empty the tin onto, a plastic bag or something. Those edges are razor sharp I was just giving her some advice so wind your neck in!
@@Ricky-gu6xn plastic bag? So the cat can get his head stuck in it ? You see how you sound? Later!
We call those shirts sweat shirts
Hey Emma. Where do you get your pegs for your groundsheets? Thanks Clare. Loving your vlogs.
Good luck with all the micro plastics from the "weed membrane".
Please fix that down pipe from your shed roof to your rain water. Barrel
Your doing a fab job Emma 👏 x love the animals that are joining you along your journey x
Yeah i wouldn't give Rocky food, he looks like someone's pet to me and you don't want him to get confused as to where is home. If you do give food make sure it's cat food made for cats. Anyway, new plot is coming on nicely. 😊
Emma, use a fork to get the weeds out, you will save so much time lol
She broke the fork (again) and hasn't bought a new one yet. :(
@@CricketsBay LOL! Oh poor Emma, I do love this channel and this community
Thick like treacle
Lovely to see Rocky again. The hard work is paying off. Well done 👏
lovely to see Rocky again, but please don't feed him anything in tomato sauce, if you want to buy him some tinned fish it needs to be in sunflower oil or drain out any brine water, it could do him more harm than good to eat tomatoes. I think he lives locally, as is he looking too well to be a homeless Cornish Rex Cat. I hope he appreciates your winter jumper - I'm going to have to add one to my Christmas list. New allotment is looking great.
My daughter and I broke two shovel handles while digging up a bush stump. Love Einstein and your allotment! You got a lot done!
I love your videos I have bought your book planner from m Amazon is there anything else you do xx
Well done Emma, amazed at how much you have achieved in a short space of time. I think most plot holders have good and bad days, seems quite usual, I guess the fact you get there regularly is key to it all. Keep going it's looking fab.
You have taken on quite a challenge. I am not sure, even in my younger years, that I would have been up to clearing that plot!
It's looking amazing Emma. All your hard work is showing.
You're a real inspiration. 🍁🍂
Another wonderful video you always make me smile! For me, when I had to make beds, I made the space between them wider, because I found out it was nice to be able to have room enough to sit down between the beds to dig out weeds and plant things :) Keep up the great work!! :)
🎉🎉looks GREAT 👍😃
💕Adore Rocky and Einstein 💕
❤❤🐦🐈⬛🦊❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Your remark about the Home Alone robbers made me have a little daydream about an imaginary RUclips channel 'Gardening with the Wet Bandits'. Lol
Hi Emma from Ontario, Canada. If you are having problems removing ornamental grass or bushes, what I do is place a brick or stone close to the weed plant and place a gardening fork over it and lift said plant up. It is all about leverage. Enjo your determination.
Well I like everything you have achieved.I also love your sharp wit.Its so funny.Thanks Emma
Use a fork its easier than a spade
Her fork snapped. Not everyone can afford or have the time to replace broken tools.
13:54 That path at the back looks too narrow. Need to be able to kneel down between beds. Also need to consider how plants will bush out over the paths and in doing so reduce the width somewhat.
I love the little robin ❤
Emma I truly love you for feeding Rocky 🐈⬛ ❤ thank you 🙏🏾
feeding him stuff that ain’t good for him isn’t okay even if he is a stray
I remember you broke your fork. Have you plans to get a new one? I always find digging stuff out easier with a fork than with a spade. 😊
I hope Rocky isn't planning to have Einstein for his Christmas Dinner.
Plots looking fab, think the stick wall will be great, hang on in there ❤️ fab vlog 🥰
I really hope someone will give you some sponsorship for a greenhouse or ploytunnel or tools you so deserved.
You'll have to do a fox jumper too Emma, one that robs shoes 😅
You should request some sponsorship for raised beds. And a green house.
i cant seem to find the link to your xmas jumpers?
I love planting digging and weeding after the rain the ground is so soft 🧑🌾
It's coming alone nicely.
1st to view, yess!!!
Robins only live about two years. It's going to be sad when Einstein doesn't appear :(
Fantastisch Good work Emma's hard work you the best love you video's thans grootjes ✔️☕🧤🧣🌞😅🍂🌾🌿🎈❤👍🎆
