Emma, great video. Did you soak the sweet peas. I had a disaster with germination last year so this year I am going to soak overnight first to see if they makes any difference.
Hang on ! Your telling me you have a house? I thought you lived at the allotment 😂
Wow, you have really got a good head start with your seedlings! I must up my game 😊
Great video! 😃
Hi Emma I got your planer its very pink maybe a blue one as well next year for the boys with aeroplanes and tanks on it LOL 😂 just blue then.
Hi I will be planting my king Edward potatoes end of next month
As a landscape gardener of 23 years now,I liked this video. 💯👍
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 !!
Very nice, Thanks.
Love you jumper Emma,till next time 🌱🌱🌱💞
Great video Emma 😊 laughed my head off the other day when you were eating something in the poly tunnel and nearly poisoned yourself X
Really enjoying your video it's like a new you this year lol brilliant.x
Great video Emma, thankyou you really do keep us motivated with our plot
Do I have to plant a whole packet of seeds eg carrot ,leek , or can I save half to next year . Thank you
Great tips Emma I'm going to plant some veg this year nothing like freshly picked from garden to dinner plate
I don’t have loads of windowsill space, thinking of making a little greenhouse for outside. Would putting them in there count as starting them “inside”? Love the channel!
Thank you Emma. You make me smile! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I love it. I want to grow beautiful sweet peas with long stems, any advice? Keep posting 😊
Sown my sweet peas in toilet roll tubes (only takes a few weeks to collect enough .from 4 of us not just me 🤣) and they are already 8 inches tall and you just plant them in the tube straight into the garden .👍
Just be aware that seedlings can go leggy if deprived of light
Courgettes in March !! Hope you have a ton of room in your lounge Emma because they're going to be huge or dead by May 😄
Hell Emma if your like me I use toilet paper rolls to start my seeds once you plant them out it will break down in time , I hope you will put a p o box address up soon ?😀
Amazing and very informative you are becoming a real pro
Informative vlog Emma 🌱
Great video as usual. In tomatoes try one called Sungold for cherries and Kellogg’s Breakfast in beefsteaks. They’re both fab
Great Video , your enthusiasm is catching … Im now going back to my new allotment tomorrow to get some more jobs done … Already brought my seeds and looking forward to March … Where can you buy your planner ?
Hiya Emma oh soo appreciated a wee visit with you and spring thoughts, why? It’s snowing again here in southern Ontario Canada whaghh lol blessings Luv 🇨🇦🐝
Lovely video 👍👍
OH my! I cant wait till we are sowing! I am waiting for the tomato time! as they grow so fast I dont want to rush and then have no way of keeping them all healthy and frost free! Its so hard this time of year as we really want everything to be soon! I cant wait to sow them but 2 more weeks for where i am!
What potting mix are you using please?
Love your vlogs Emma, you always make me laugh especially with the spiders! Not a fan either. Thankyou for all the tips. I used to live in Abbey Wood, SE London, but now live in southern Scotland and the growing conditions are so different! My sweet peas are about 2inches high now, waiting to pinch them out. Looking forward to the next video. x
Love your videos Emma, and love the jumper you're wearing even more!!! Where is it from please? 🙂
Hi Emma love your video very interesting lv Irene 😘 xx
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.
Emma, would you think loo roll inners are tall enough to sow sweet peas in? Just thinking of recycling them instead of having to buy pots to sow the seeds. Looking forward to sowing everything soon!
👌👍💚x
Great video Emma, Spring is an amazing time of year and it's easy to become overwhelmed with all the seed sowing! Good luck with the verbena, do they need dark to germinate though as I'm trying them this year? Happy sowing! 🌻🌷🌸
I couldn't see any drainage holes in your egg box container. You don't want your small roots to be waterlogged. I've made the same mistake before.
Just what I needed Emma as I was ready to plant every single seed with excitement! Thank you for reigning me in!
I am a new subscriber and I just wanted to say thanks for the videos. Please do get something soft to kneel on though, cos I'm saying ouch your poor knees when you are older!
Seed craft is an awesome idea. Thank you. I have a young child and a full time job but want to grow my own veg and it is a great option for me.
A little tip for you Emma , if you allow a courgette to grow into a marrow , the plant will stop producing because it will think it's reached it's seed reproducing task , which applies to most plants .
Hi Emma could you pls tell me where you got yr arch from in yr allotment
Courgettes ? What a good idea, looks like I'm going shopping tomorrow… I'd have thought courgettes were exotic type veg's, you've convinced me, gonna give them a go… Thnx again X
What do you dip potatoes in at the edge where you cut them? Ive seen people dip the cut edge in a lot of things i dont have. Would ash of distomsceous esrth be any good?
Love your Cardi Emma ,love The Nursery bit it’s so exciting, those Toms are looking well promising, You know they are all going to need potting on at the same Time Thank’s to ole Ma Nature but hey you’re allotment is like the Mother Ship ! You’ve done loads already,Have you ever tried Hyacinth Beans Direct Sow few of those they need Trellis or your shed Something totally different. I’m trying all Seed grown for everything for the first time this year 🤞🏽✨🕊✨❤️✌️
Emma, this is amazing. I left an Abo. Greetings from Germany 🙋♀️🌱
