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

You got it in 👍🏼🤗
Chillies 🌶️😉
Good day at the plot there Gem! 💪🏼💚😁x
Good again gem xx🐚🐚🐚
It's been so mild this year don't you think! I was hoping for some cold weather to help kill off some of the bugs! I've tried over wintering pepper and it just didn't work!
Rebuilding soul
Nice update, I had a family of mice in my garage where I store all my mesh and nets, they destroyed it all, now I put all of my protectives in the tumble dryer in the garage...just in case 😁
It's better to be safe than sorry isn't it! 🐁 Thank You for watching and have a great week 😊
Hard work but definitely worth it 💪
Totally 😊
Good job Gem
Thank ls David 😊
Great video as always 👌👍🏻
Thank You 👍
Great info Gemma on overwintering the chillies I’m going to try that this year 😊I have a large greenhouse on my new allotment so I’m also trying to overwinter geranium plants. Thanks for you great videos. Janet NW England
Hi Janet, I have got my geraniums in my greenhouse in my back garden 😀 I've never over wintered them before 😊
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
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 😘
I don’t eat a lot of veg as a single pension. So I usually buy plugs or young plants.most of my seed sowing is for my cut flower beds 🌺🌸
Plug plants are great aren't they ☺️
Hi Gemma I am a newbie to your channel. Does the coco fibre have any nutrients in it?
Hi Janet, no there is no nutrients in coco coir at all, means plants need to be fed or mulched with compost 👍
@ thanks for the info Gemma
@janetleach2421 you're welcome 😊
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
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 ☺️
@ 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 🐾🐾
@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?
@ hopefully growing some tomatoes, peas and courgettes plus more cut flower🌸🌺
Do you think it could be the cats in the strawberries??
Probably, our cats have lots of friends that come to visit 🐈⬛️🐈🐈⬛️🐈
Chilli’s 🌶️
🌶🌶🌶 Have a fab week x
Great job again gem xxx👾👾👾
Thank You! 😊
All looking so great Gemma! I always put off tidying up the shed and it's always so much quicker than I think and so satisfying at the end!
It's always the jobs that actually don't take as long and aren't as bad as we think that we dread isn't it! Have a great week Roisin x
Hello, love your garden!
Thank You so much! Have a fabulous week 😘
🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶Chilies 👍
🌶🌶🌶 Have a great week Jane 😊
I really like to get things sorted and tidied away for the dormant mid winter period, it feels good when the ground is all prepared. Everything looks great Gem, thank you for sharing. bfn.🐞🌻🌱
It definitely is satisfying Jane ☺️ Thank You for the support and have a great week 😊 x
New subscriber here Gem , you certainly have the plot looking spick and span . It has turned chilli these last few nights.
Hi George 👋 Welcome to my channel and Thank You for subscribing ☺️ the weather really has turned hasn't it! Have a fab week 😀
Not far off 6k now gemma! Wooo! I really need to sort my compost bays out! Great job! Danny 🌱❤️😊
Yes nearly there 🙌 it's such a satisfying job but not one I look forward to, least there's nothing buried in mine though! 🐭 😆 x
Chili's🌶
🌶🌶🌶 Have a great week 😊
Chillies 🌶️🌶️ Thats so interesting seeing you overwinter the chillies. Ill give it a go next year. Cx
🌶🌶🌶 it's the first time I've overwintered so many I usually just do a few, have a great week 😊
Gem everything looks ship shape xxxx🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛⚾⚾
Thank You ☺️😘
chillies🌶
🌶🌶🌶 Have a great week 😊
Chilleys Gemma
🌶🌶🌶 have a great week Ned 😊
😅
😅
Chilli’s 🌶️ 😊 I’m watching this while Storm Bert is doing its best to relocate a few of my garden items. Fingers crossed your poly tunnels survive unscathed!
🌶🌶🌶☺️ I went and locked everything down on Friday so I hoping everything is OK, I will find out tomorrow 🙏 ☺️
Great workout!
Definitely!
I have tulips I need to plant and I keep not doing it
I still haven't planted mine either! 😅
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!
That makes sense Thank You! Have a fabulous weekend and Thank You for the tip ☺️
Chillies
