Hi Emma if you put some plastic bottles on top of garden canes and stick them in the ground underneath your nets it will lift the nets above your plants.🤓 Love your vlogs.

🌼🌻🐝☀️🌺👨🌾 I love your garden!! Such a great inspiration to me as I am also a gardener and UA-cam creator. You put a lot of work and love into growing your garden! All the hard work is worth it to me to get to see the new growth everyday it brings me so much joy!. I still have so much to learn and I appreciate your tips, tricks! Please Keep sharing! I would love to learn more about gardening from each other.
Emma, to pollenate your tomatoes in the polytunnel, just lightly tap on the stem where the flowers are open and they'll pollenate themselves. It's that simple. I do that to the ones that are out in the open, too, just to ensure that they are pollenated. The flowers have everything they need to pollenate themselves.
😁🤣 Emma, I kid you not I saw that some people take their electric toothbrush and just vibrate it along the branches. That will make a fun vlog segment. 😁🤣. Honestly though I think just the act of pulling off suckers and extra lower branches is enough jiggling of the plant to pollinate.
I love spending time with you. I should know what to do in the garden, but your "wracking in" plants has given me such freedom to just et on with it! Thank you for being so genuine about "issues"! Meet you here on Wed!
Don't worry, Emma, I have no idea why they asked you about pollinating your toms, just give them a tap in passing and they will pollinate each other. As for blight, there is a web page where you can put in your postcode and you will get alerts when it is in your area. It isn't in mine until September, apparently. It should be a useful guide anyway 😊. Everything is looking fabulous!!
Pollinate themselves even- The anthers are behind the pistil and shaking them a bit will make the magic happen as the pollen falls and sticks to the little tubes
I haven't labelled my tomatoes!!, why because it's me, brilliant,, just give the plants a shake to pollinate them or you can make a video of you catching a bee and trapping it in the poly tunnel, then you'd be to scared to go inside another great video Emma
Emma. How are the buckets?.. Next time you are at the poly tunnel,pinch out the top of your tall tomatoes that will allow the plants to bush up a bit and prevent all the energy going to make it taller than it needs to be Cheers for now.
Tomatoes self pollinate. Hoverflies vibrant the flower to catch the pollen as it falls out. The falling pollen pollinates the flower. Bees don't do Tomatoes.
Hi Emma, my I surgest netting your strawbs now (protection from birds) and can also pick just before they ripe so slugs and things don't eat them and let them ripe on a window seal, flavour will be the same. Oh, and you can use tree stakes to tie your poly too. You are doing excellent, all the best to you and your family.
Agreed with other comments here. I never needed insects/bees for pollinating tomatoes. Just wind or just give em a little shake while they’re blooming.
Broad bean risotto is delicious, also use with pasta delicious. To remove the ‘skin’ from the beans, pour boiling water over and leave for a few minutes, easy to pop them out and they are nicer. I’ve harvested all mine now, loads in freezer
Everything looks great!! Tomatoes are self pollinating so they just need a little shake every so often if not enough wind or pollinaters shaking the flower.
Hi Emma the way I pollinate my tomatoes is when I go to them in the morning I do have a window and I can open the door a few inches so as no cat's can get in I give each flower stem a few taps to release the pollen hope this help with your pollination good luck and happy planting ,from a keen Gardner.
Simple broad beans recipe: just boil them without taking the actual beans out as they are and put some salt in the water. You can just have them on their own (I like to squeeze them out). The same can be done for peas, they taste extra sweet. Easy and simple and delicious! With tomato pollination my mum always says to give a bit of a shake.. Had an awful tomato year last year on the polytunnel (blight got them before I got any fruit) so didn't even have to think about the pollination issue :D You win some, you lose some!
easy way is get an old electric tooth brush and use the back of the brush head and buzz the stem just behind the flower, it is the fastest and simplest way to pollinate Tomatoes, and Peppers.
This week I'm trying ninja moves on caterpillars, still doing the slug and snail shotput, checking plants every evening at 8pm and 10pm but cor blimey I nearly have my first ever cabbage !!
Love 🥰 watching Emma's allotment diary video's including this one. The weather's nice & sunny 🌄. Yummy 😋 & juicy strawberries. Have a good week, happy gardening and see you in the next video.
Your allotment lookt lovely, do you have any beans? Mine got eaten, every single one, by slugs and pigeons i think. Felt so deflated. Going to have a go in my polytunnel
Obviously you do not read my comments 2 VIDEOS AGO I TOLD YOU TO GENTLY TAP YOUR TOMATO FLOWERS TO POLLINATE THEM ALL 5 days ago it was when I left you comment to POLLINATE your tomatoes

Dry weather is the best slug deterrent.

I'm so glad your pumpkin is still alive 🎃

Emma hand pollination is super easy with tomato’s just lightly rub your fingertips over each open flower bud and that is it!

Your netting looks a bit low in places, try empty plastic bottles upside down on the canes to hold the net up 😃👍
Thank you Emma l agree the allotment is where magic happen ,s xx

Bees don't do Tomatoes.
Bumblees are all over mine.
Bumblebees and Carpenter Bees pollinate tomatoes. Honeybees can't.

Just been listening to your interview with Jimmy (On Jimmy's Farm).. really enjoyed your chat with Jimmy, and now subscribed to your youtube channel
Thank you for telling us about the second leaf on the pumpkins tells us what direction they are growing in! I never knew this x
Hi Emma I put my toms in my green house I cover the window & my door I never thought Toms wanted pollinating ? Love your videos lv Irene 😘 xx
Everything looks great!! Tomatoes are self pollinating so they just need a little shake every so often if not enough wind or pollinaters shaking the flower.
That Strulch is really working isn't it Emma? I saw it on Amazon and thought it was way too expensive but I may have a re-think now.

Hi. Can you please confirm if you are saying that you can cook the beans and peas in their pods with some added salt to the water. Thanks.
@@theresagriffith7124 this is the recipe, but yes, super simple and delicious!

That's very clever! I may give that a try! x

I've only gone and planted Jack o'lanterns not Jack B'little 😵💫 there bloody massive already 😂Oh well you live and learn ..
Love 🥰 watching Emma's allotment diary video's including this one. The weather's nice & sunny 🌄. Yummy 😋 & juicy strawberries. Have a good week, happy gardening and see you in the next video.
I've been pruning tomatoes too!
Give your tomatoes a good shake.
Tomato are self pollinating and do not need bee's.... 🍅😊
Your allotment lookt lovely, do you have any beans? Mine got eaten, every single one, by slugs and pigeons i think. Felt so deflated. Going to have a go in my polytunnel
Have you tried water filled tomato halo's for slug and snail control?
What variety of broad beans did you sow? We’ve blanched ours & frozen them.
Great update Emma , just shake your Tom's lol x
make dirty rice and add the beans......there are videos on youtube to make "dirty rice" if you can't find a recipe.
Maybe a bit late for lettuce, mine have all bolted.
👌👌xx
You are becoming way too pro. I prefer the old 'Tommy Cooper' Emma

Jessie plot 37 loves broadbeans and has recipes. If you can watch Jessie you will find tips she has done this a long time.
