The apple tree trained to the fence "espalier" is a great idea!
This is my favourite new channel! Keep being you ❤
I said I would never grow dahlias, because I “wasn’t interested in them,” but I’ve just bought two rhizomes from my local Asda (because they were on offer) and now I’m looking forward to them appearing. 🤣🤣🤣
Hi great to see you planting for the bees Emma great job wack them in from your followers in Northern Ireland
Emma ,Snails hate salt either Epsom Salt or just table salt .Spread outside of your raised beds, replaced after a rain. I have snails too ,just a different type. Remember Epsom salt adds calcium to tomatoes and keeps blight away and it will green up your yellow tomato plants.
I germinate leeks in a large pot then plant into garden, we sow New Zealand in November and plant out in the middle of summer into the winter brassica bed, generally between Christmas and New Year but when weather is going to be overcast for a day or two. Water twice a day until they look happy.
Emma, I ordered the CoolJob ThinkGreen gloves, another kind that came with 2 pair, and they sent me 2 pair free. I used your discount. I love these gloves! Thanks for turning me on to them.🥰
Lovely video Emma, just a small tip that has worked for me if you fancy trying on your zinnia pot is adding a bit of Vaseline above the copper tape you’ve used. ( maybe an old Vaseline) roughly about 2 inches or 5 cm in depth slug or snails don’t like to go over it. I had bought a grafted cucumber using a halo, and within a day or two it got badly stripped/eaten. With the Vaseline and strulch it seems to have done the trick up until now. Thank you for doing the videos their a joy to watch😊
Isn't it great to have a garden next to the house. No matter how tiny it is. The slugs ate all my sunflowers 🌻 as well.
Your Forget me nots are gorgeous! 🤍 Xx
Beautiful garden
My aliums total fail this year, gutted, last year I had loads and they looked amazing
Allium leaves never survive, that’s quite normal :) 🌸 As for the Leeks, they need a very very deep trough to grow in
Another great video Emma. Your prunus adelaide is a Japanese flowering cherry. Cherry trees come in two main groups, wild/eating cherries and bird cherries. Difference is wild/eating cherries grow in groups of two or more whilst bird cherries are always single. As for aliums, like garlic or onions they only flower at the end of life hence the leaf die back. Lastly its so important to have kids going out so well done, you could try moving the swingball around a bit to give the grass a chance to grow back, All the best!
Hey. I planted my leeks in coir too, well ibe sown everything in it 🤣🤣 i was wondering about nutrients too so am going to transplant them into bigger pots. Its my first time growing veg EVER 🤣🤣 im growing in my garden. I only have 3 raised beds and a greenhouse similar but bugger than yours. Im loving everything about it ❤ I love your channel and your sense of humour is brilliant..
I ordered the Thinkgreen gloves. I have a pair of bamboo gloves i love but they are getting worn so am looking forward to getting these
Your garden is lovely. How lucky that you have cherries.
I think the pink plant that you said you didn’t know what it was is possibly a Silene. Ive got them in my garden and they’re great wildflowers and attract pollinators by the dozen.
I saw a video where they said that slugs and snails can cope with one inch of copper but not two, maybe try a double strip of tape. I'd love to see if it works 😁
Sorry old vid but loved your experiment with snail i did try a nettle boundary omg it seams to work I would love a experiment by you love your vids Richard from Sheffield
Hi. Your garden is looking good. The word used for training fruit trees on fences/walls is espalier. You could also grow a beautiful clematis along your fence .
I had the same issue with my lawn. I replaced the 2 high traffic sections with two squares of artificial grass. It blends perfectly, and everyone is happy !
Hi Emma , thankyou for your honest,down to earth videos. With regards to your snails, you could put vaseline under the wooden fence where they reside. Also try marking the snails that go on an adventure to your neighbours garden,as they travel far and may keep coming back! I pop mine in a dog poo bag and rehome further away or in the dogpoo bin! x
hello emma you can put the mint leaves into cups of hot water to make tea which helps lower stress,
and your shoe modeling tap dancing was very cute and made me laugh. you will soon be on gardeners world.
You can trim the leek roots..if you put the slug tape to the top of your pot it will go straight..also foxgloves are poisonous so be careful with it by your apple tree..love your videos im from the uk two..i also have to balance the garden for the kids and my love for growing my own veg and flowers..is you tree cherry ..it looked like it in the videos x
I tarted up some plant pots with flower power stickers 🌺 which are supposed to be stuck on a car 🚗 I love them they look great 👍 we've got a fab weekend weatherwise so I'll be out planting & mowing and then having a few beers while I read my book - John Wayne biography 😎☀️🍹 I'm always finding snails inside my watering cans 🤷 I think my bedding plants are really late blooming this year they're only just starting to flower now 🏵️🌺🪷
I think the tree might be a Rowan. the foxglove will self seed if you leave it. Ceanothus would be pretty on your fence. You could also extend your trellis upwards by attaching posts to existing posts.
Use old knitting needles and push down beside your perennials that die down, draw a rough plan of what is in the borders in a note book, then date when you add new plants. I am forever planting bulbs on bulbs. Nappy was scrubbed on the grass stain works!
Hi Emma, your leeks look good and healthy if anything plant them a bit deeper and WATER well 😊 Your foxgloves are going to be stunningly beautiful a lot of people are growing them this year me included.What are the name of those fab Tulips at the beginning,l want to grow them.Great video showing us lots of gorgeous things thankyou Emma ❤
Hi Emma you need to get a bit of verdigris on the copper tape spray with a salt water solution to help this and when dry the salt residue will also help deter the slugs. Also if you put the tape towards the bottom on a narrower part of the pot you will use up less of your tape. I believe Jonny Vegas once suggested using Sellotape with salt stuck to it to use as a slug barrier but was worried about it blowing away and then thought of double side tape (or did I just dream of this ?). Keep on gardening!
The salt and double sided tape is a great idea, I'm going to give it a go - thanks. Keep dreaming, when they deliver like this!
Hi what a beautiful garden 🪴 it’s just amazing how when you think something is dead and gone and one day you go to the garden and you are over run with that plant!! Have a wonderful weekend in your garden as well.
Lovely garden, I think neglect is the way to, everything I ignore does better 🙈 I've managed to control the slugs/snails at last (thanks Mr frog/toad) I can't get the hang of leeks/onions from seed they just die, fab vlog Emma have a great weekend 🥰
You may have a large bucket of water. And every flower that you want to bring in but there is an insect - just give them a good dip in that water (upside down because you are holding on the stems) and some rinse while they're in. That should be ok with flowers that are not particularly fragile.
They are cherries :) Either sour or sweet.
The berries on the prunus tree are Cherries 🍒
I didn't know you could remove the greens of tulips after they have flowered! I thought you had ti ket them die back.
😂 I’ve thought the same thing time to time. Just make the plot one big compost heap and just chuck stuff in and would probably fare better!
Love you and have often commented on your videos. You’re down to earth way to garden is great. What do you do for your day to day job? Kids using your garden is great. Love you x
Love your channel especially your humour. Like I’ve mentioned to you before (l think) I’m growing vegetables for the first time this year and YOU are giving me so much confidence because every time I go to do anything l go into a bit of a panic BUT then l remember “just wack it in Helene “ and my mood lightens. Thank you.
I think that trees that are trained along a fence are called espaliered trees. Good luck with the snails and slugs. Too bad they don’t seem to want to feast on weeds!
Hey Emma
Wonderful vlog you're garden is looking amazing ,
Can I ask is it too late for me to start sowing some leeks ? ,I have no idea,
Have a magiKal day ,love and light x
You could trim the roots on you leeks by half this will make them easi er to tr ansplant
Love the flowers Emma, lovely onion flowers let’s hope you can get some seeds from them, keep an eye out for them to seed😊
I don't allow them to go to seed because you won't get flowers next year. If they do they will self seed
@@ruthadams2413 they are bi annual, but if you have any shooting onions you can plant them and possibly go to flower and seed.
Prunus is Latin name for plum. Some varieties might be large and edible while others might be small and only for ornamental purpose but still that is general name of plum. So I'd say it is a fruit rather than berry.
Wither it's a berry depends on how strict you want your definition. Looks like a drup to me. (A "berry" with a single pit in the center. Like a cherry)
Wow, impressive tulips 🌷 😊
I saw a thing online saying to chuck your slugs and snails into your compost pile. They are natures clean up crew eating up dead matter. Apparently they won't leave the pile as they just get to work.
Hi Emma nice video garden is looking good xx
Emma, you need to start making some beer traps for them, slugs and snails
O ye enjoy the upcoming weekend stay safe have fun
Nice
U make a long hole in the ground with a dibber and just put the leeks into the hole. Do not cover them just water
I think you are supposed to let daffodils and tulips die back naturally and not pull them out. Love your sweet pea wigwam and the lovely forget me not flowers.
I could watch a million of your vlogs :) I wish you had ten acres too! Luckily I have my own far too small space to whack stuff into :)
❤ Emma..😊
Hi Emma loving all the videos totally binge watching the earlier ones in between the weekly ones 😂 when you say you get rid of the tulips do you keep the bulbs or get rid of them? I have so many in containers that I want to use but not sure what to do🤷♀️ tia
I've pulled mine up and cleaned them and put them in a box in my shed 👍
go you!
Love your garden.someone said white foxgloves are poisonous but I don’t know if that’s true.❤
all foxgloves are poisonous. it is where the heart drug digitalis comes from too though.
All foxgloves are poisonous. The correct name is Digitalis.
The one thing i know about leeks Emma is when potted on, water in rather than press the soil around them
Yes that’s what i understand you do. Also you can trim the roots.
Grass seed down in September
Trim.leek roots..just pinch them off leaving an inch
Hi Emma loved your video lv Irene 😘 xx
Hi can't believe how big my potatoes are now planted end of April
I've given up with the snails and slugs, iv put slug blue pellets down and also salt
Thank you
Espalier apples/pears are trained around the fence.
Snails have a homing instinct, throw them over the fence & they come back again !🙈😮
Charm overload...loved thankyou Emma pretty 😍 💕💕💕💕💕🌞🌞🌞🌞💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 💐 🌹
Leeks like a deep deep pot and you could have potted them on in clumps but knowing you they'll survive 😂
Offering advice to you ,I have told you this before if you are going to hand pick slugs and snails make sure you take them a long way from your plot, be it garden or allotment . Like many birds they have a desire to stay in a certain area and throwing them over the fence will ensure that over night they will be back knowing where the food is. Planting Leeks ,you don’t have to bother trying to stuff all the roots into the pot with a pair of scissors trim the roots to about 2 in easy to handle and does the plant no harm at all though in the case of yours look pretty neglected and weak.
When you let the tulips die back by themselves they will put back all their power to the bulbs what will give you bigger plants next year
soapy water for bug covered flowers?
Around the outside of pots out gasoline or cheap alternative. They can't slide over it as it's slippy so they cant grip
Do you mean Vaseline? If so, that’s a great idea! Thank you
@@TraceUK yes I do. Sorry my tablet has very strange ideas and often forget to reread it.
Tried and tested it's great and lasts. In hot weather it tends to melt x
Fertilize your leeks in coir.
Emma did you leave your tulip bulbs in the pot. Mine are very messy looking now
Emma, I just bought stulch but thought that seedlings wouldn’t germinate if I added it. Is that wrong and then I can go put it down? I’m a complete beginner and first year planting anything so clueless. Thank you x
The leeks look like they need more water and plant food.
Emma put those leeks in your alotment
Can't wait to see your tooth plant 😂🦷
You are such a cute and pretty
Why not just take the whole lot and put into a larger pot, till they are ready to put out
Why not put your leeks in the back of your Borders.even if you just leave them to go to flower and seed
Octopeye 😂🤣 because it’s funnier 🐙🐙🐙
Also, just a warning - Forget Me Nots spread like wildfire! Keep a close eye or they’ll be all over your garden!
Wackem as your now world famous we will have be more humble.
