What a DISASTER!
Winter is coming, but that doesn’t mean the gardening stops! Join me as I prepare my allotment and home garden for the colder months. In this video, I’ll be sorting out my compost area, mulching my garden beds, and covering my raised beds to protect them for the season ahead. Plus, I’ll show you how I bring my chilli and pepper plants indoors for overwintering to keep them thriving. Whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out, these tips will help you get your garden ready for winter. Let's dig in and grow together!
The netting I used and mentioned in this video is from amazon - amzn.to/40ZYfJj
The coco mulch I use you can get on amazon - amzn.to/4eERtfn

    Cabbages!! I’m new to your videos Gemma and really enjoying them. My first allotment has now filled up with cut flowers and soft fruit🌸🌺Luckily I have now expanded to the allotment next door and will be starting all over again. I’m hoping to do some veggies but don’t think I will be growing cabbages as I am a single pensioner I would last me ages. Hoping to do tomatoes, chillies, peppers and peas this year. Can you please let me know where you got your mini poly tunnel from. Thanks

    • @GemInTheGarden
      @GemInTheGarden День тому

      Your plans for your new plot sound grea Janet, my mini polytunel is from first tunnels, there is a video on my channel where I build it with my husband, it's so handy I wouldn't be without it. Have a fabulous week 😘

  • @janetleach2421

    Hi Gem I’m a new subscriber from N W England great video 🌸I’m going to try and overwinter my chillies in my south facing enclosed front porch, fingers crossed that they survive🤞I’ve recently got a second allotment that needs a lot of work. It has over 6 compost bins that are in totally the wrong place so that is going to be a big job for me. Looking forward to following you x

    • @GemInTheGarden
      @GemInTheGarden 2 дні тому

      Hi Janet, welcome to my channel and Thank You for subscribing 😊 I have a South facing porch too and have over wintered chilli's in there in the past, when the temperatures really dropped overnight I brought them inside for a few days then put them back put into the porch and they were absolutely fine 👍 ooohhh good luck on the compost bins, are your 2 plots on the same site? Thank You for the support ☺️

    • @janetleach2421
      @janetleach2421 2 дні тому

      @ I’m going to put a small oil heater in the porch for really cold nights so fingers crossed they will survive 🤞luckily my two plots are next to each other and the managers have agreed to me having a connecting gate. The new plot is a double plot so really I have three plots now but they are not very large plots to start with. All the plots are fully fenced so I can take my 3 year old German shepherd dog with me 🐾🐾

    • @GemInTheGarden
      @GemInTheGarden День тому

      @janetleach2421 oh that sounds really fantastic 👍 how amazing they are next to each other and being fenced in sounds great! How exciting, what are you planning to grow on your new plot?

    Yeah for the compost bins, chop everything up as you put it in and look at them as a new, part done, and finished bin. So, fill the first one all the way before you move on to no. 2. Add the base of no.2 to the first one when there's room and so on with the 3rd. I hope you get what I'm trying to say. Cheers!
