    I’m 64 years old and been gardening for years and didn’t have a clue about the knobbly bit,every days a school day…Thanks for sharing 😊

    Enstien is likely moulting. Birds do this end of July/august. When they do it the loss of feathers mean they can’t fly as well or fast, so they hide from predators and rest in trees. Once he has his lovely new feathers he’ll b back!❤

    Oh my, one of my cans has a knobbly bit! I thought it was to hold with your hand to make pouring more steady…well blow me down! Now I won’t lose my can hose, thank you. Have a lovely holiday. (PS: I despise an unruly gladiolus 🤨)

    I would save the 3 archers until next year. No point in them being out over winter unless you really need them.
    What a lovely plot friend.

    For the archway, you could shorten (make it smaller) and use it to support some flowers or smaller climbing plants, and use the remaining poles as sticks lol..... Just an idea, whatever you do, continue having fun xx

    Gladioli can be supported with a few sticks long enough to reach the top, then weave a chord or string back and forth so the glads are upright.
    Individual sticks tend to flop over with wind and weight.

    I have two spray heads for my watering can, one with a finer spray than the other, I always leave the head I use most on the spout the other on the nobble bit. Or I leave one of the spray heads in the shed the other on the nobly bit when watering using the spout. My tomato plants are full of green tomato’s but only two have turned red so far this year.

    Hi Emma, just watching an earlier video and don't know if you'll see this, anyway, it's best to feed hedgehogs kitten biscuits as hedgehog 'food' isn't regulated and usually contains stuff they shouldn't be eating. It brings tears to my eyes your relationship with Einstein, so sweet x

    Hi Emma, I was just thinking about your gladioli dilemma. We don’t grow them, but I do sow lots of Zinnias for cutting and they get top heavy and prone to topple over, as well. The last couple of years, I’ve hammered in four stakes/canes (6 if I can find them) to create a rectangular space for planting. Then I fix jute mesh, with big 3” holes, horizontally over the posts and tie them on, about 16-18” off the ground. The mesh needs to be reasonably taut, but the Zinnias grow up through the holes and it supports them really well. I reckon that would support your Gladis too. Just a thought. Might be worth considering for next year.
    Have a well-deserved break.

    Greetings Emma really enjoy your Vlogs and have watched them all, got my first allotment this year and although getting to grips with it quite quickly I'm still baffled by the Early, second early etc etc potato growing thing. Could you possibly do a short piece in one of your Vlogs explaining the basics of this and when you plant out? It would be much appreciated and get me better clued up for next year. Thanks in advance.

    Off on hols..... do enjoy....... You will have issues after a week away, but you know that and are prepared. I think, you are arriving at the place were you understand that..... The sole objective of any garden is to hand out pain and pleasure in roughly equal proportion, However as gardeners, the the pleasure always out weighs the pain by a "country mile" it´s why we do it.

    I recently started helping a woman at her allotment and her neighbor is.... Quite strange.. the first time I met him he was all like "who are you?? What are you doing here?" And then switched to "oh you're pretty though" and then watched we the whole time I was working and later said "I really like your pants" ugh. Next time I see him and he says anything I will tell him immediately that he has to stop commenting on my appearance. It makes me so uncomfortable, so I worry there may be an argument between us in the future... I hope I can avoid him most of the time..
