Getting rid of that slugasaurus was comedy gold 😂😂😂Brilliant 👍
"The fact there's a slug that eats other slugs, tells you all you need to know about slugs...you know?" So true Emma, thank you for your channel!
Omg I have had one that size😮
It’s a leaf miner that is getting to your chard. Usually neem oil and soap mixture sprayed on the leaves both sides will help.
I just love your videos, they are the most honest I've seen. The way your react to slime pests and wrigglers is exactly the same reaction my other half has. Your video today has had me in tears 😂😂. Keep it real!
you crack me up, so many innocent innuendos, and love seeing how your plot develops x Can we have some more videos on what to plant each month please? I am a novice too x
Hi Emma Be careful eating raw beans" Like most beans, raw green beans contain lectins, a protein that works as an antifungal and natural insecticide for plant" "if you eat them, lectins are resistant to digestive enzymes. Thus, they bind to the surface of cells in your digestive system, causing symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and bloating if consumed in high amounts". That why we know to never eat uncooked Kidney beans and chick peas! And yes I do have a nibble on my green beans raw and have done so since a little kid not noticing any side effects!
Quite a while ago, i suggested detering slugs in your little home greenhouse by putting the legs in water. I don’t know if you tried it, but i did and it works. Also, my troughs of newly planted veg are now standing on upturned plant pots in trays of water. They look daft, but its dealt with the problem. I tried to include photos, but couldn’t work out how to do it 😂
You’re like me, but ten times funnier! Ridiculously excited when something actually WORKS,like a cauliflower, then getting mad as anything at a line of string that won’t stay up. Hilarious, thanks for the uplifting and entertaining videos! 👏👏👏😅
Hi I live in USA watch other shows shit during the winter you can map out your garden and buy some extra the arch for your beans pumpkins and other vine to grow on your arches best time to do this is when your garden is not running until next year and put cardboard down and kill the weeds winter is the best time to do that for me
Love your videos Emma. I routinely watch you whilst I'm doing the boring house chores and makes me excited to get into the garden! I have 3 raised beds in my garden and tons of pots. Thank you for your inspiration and laughs ❤
Rain is never bad, unless its 3 inches in under a hour.
The slugs in the UK are incredibly big, so pleased we don't have them in New Zealand, just planted my first of the new seasons greens lettuce, spinach, side shooting cauliflower and a selection of mini cabbages, broccoli and cauliflower, its still winter but the plum trees are flowering.
Your excitement at discovering that you have produced food, is a joy to watch. After nearly 50 years of growing vegetables from childhood, I just try to work out why something hasn't worked, my husband has never enjoyed gardening but eats the vegetables and fruit produced. He does skit about how small our food bill is to his mates.
Slugs the nicest ..where I live in Australia they build a lot of limestone block house that are rendered . Older homes can get damp .Nothing worse getting up and didn't turn on the lounge room light on the way too the bathroom and stood on a slug on the carpet right between my big toe and the nest one ...Slugs in the night . First time watching your video will subscribe . You show the real gardening ..loved it .
Your garden is doing so well and your cauliflower is beautiful and your blue French beans it's all looking great 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Right that’s it, I’m whacking in my stuff in future…that cauli is fantastic!
hahaha i have never seen any one fight a bean plant that was the funniestthing iv ever witnessed emma!! loool crying here
So much innuendo 😂. Love your channel. Pretty sure I would be just like you if i had an allotment.
Love your granny squares sweater! Great job on the cauliflower and parsnips :) Have a nice, hopefully sunny, weekend!
Something we'd like you to film? I'd like to see you start your own worm compost bin, one of those stacking kind. Your reaction to all things creepy crawly would make it hilarious viewing. Oh go on, please!
Well done Emma i struggle to grow cauliflowersxx
Maybe fill that bed with easy quick flowers like zinnia and sunflowers that is what I did with my bed that was a mess and sunflowers and beans fix nutrients in soil. And both grow quick.
Congratulations on a fantastic cauliflower! Yum... I've been watching your videos for months and they've really helped me start growing things. I've enjoyed my first radishes and my leeks are growing too. I've also grown my first sweet pea and wanted to ask you when and how to take off the seed pods. Could you cover this in a video please? Thanks Emma xx
Your Chard and Perpetual Spinach have Beet Leaf Miner. I know this, because the little buggers decimated my beets early this year (they are close relatives). It's worse on chard, obviously, because you're focused on eating the leaves, but they really stunted my beetroots too. If you look under the outer leaves, you should spot little clusters of tiny, white, elongated eggs. They're really small, but obvious when you see them. Brush these off and get rid of any damaged leaves and the plants should recover over the next few weeks. I realised what was going on a bit too late for that with the beetroot - there wouldn't have been any leaves left. However, I've been monkey-grooming my chard ever 2-3 days for a fortnight and seem to be getting on top of things, at last. There's always something, isn't there?
WOW on the cauliflower, I just had to pull 4 of ours today as they had turned yellow and bolted...tried the peg trick today to shade the smaller developing cauliflowers from the sun and hopefully they will grow up and be big....With the slugs, dump them some where far away from your plot, just look at as sending them their holidays...😉
Whoop whoop girlie how fab is your cauliflower awesome xx
I have found if you pick parsnips early and freeze them after blanching they taste sweet. I prefer working with warm hands.
Love your fight with the bean supports comedy gold 😂
Great stuff Emma, thoroughly enjoyed this catching up, yeah the great British summer has certainly knocked my little ploy about this year 😂
Hi Emma, only just found your channel and I love it, your so natural and funny. Have you looked into using nematodes to deal with the slug problem? We had a huge slug issue where we used to live and needed to protect our dogs from the darn things. The nematodes worked a treat. Have subscribed.
Thanks Emma. As a beginner I'm just trying to get used to the worms, at the plot. I'm sure I will get the slugs in due course. Have a lovely weekend!!
Next year you could grow Jerusalem artichokes they grow tall have a little sunflower type flower on top. They grow about 8ft tall. If you leave some bits of tubers in the ground it will keep coming back every year.
Emma put all your collected slugs in a container eg jar and pour salt in.Problem solved,when you move them away from their food they will return.
Save the beans and dry them then plant next year! 😊 You gave me such a laugh kicking your bean structure and then nearly falling over🤣not once but twice 😂😂😂
Its a leaf miner. The stem is delicious and not affected. We use it like celery in casseroles.
I don't want to add to the slugs but I thought it was strange that I hadn't had any notifications for your channel. I thought maybe you were ill until today when I went looking for you only to find I had been un-subscribed from your channel. Ive re-subscribed now and got several weeks to catch up on. Keep going Emma. 🙂
Hi Emma congratulations on your cauliflower it looks fabulous ! I can’t grow them to save my life or carrots 🥕 too 😱 you know those blue beans you should save them for next year dry them & put into a jar leave them in your shed then sow next year ! Just saying I’m like you don’t know a lot lv Irene 😘 xx
That’s so thoughtful of you Irene, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
@@jeffersonmorant hi 👋 I’m fine I’m like Emma fighting slugs 🐌 white butterfly 🦋 sowing seeds & they don’t germinate! My tomatoes 🍅 are still green cause no sun ! but I love it 🥰 the weather is sunny 🌞 then wet tomorrow ! well that’s the English weather for you 😂🤣😂🤣 hope where you are is nice lv Irene 😘 xx
@@irenesmith5676 I’m glad you’re enjoying the weather now, It’s gets like that at this time of the year, It’s been cold here in Ohio, But warmer at daytime, Where are you at ?
@@jeffersonmorant hi 👋 yes we have had a cold summer & they say the wettest July on record! yes I live in Nottinghamshire we do get away with bad weather lv Irene 😘 xx
@@irenesmith5676 I've been to the UK couple of times, i travel a lot actually, The UK has many great places for sightseeing like The North York Moors, Yorkshire, Chatsworth and Haddon, Derbyshire, Norfolk coast, Norfolk etc. Do you travel a lot too, what other places have you visited ?
Keep them runner beans for next year as in my allotment I recently gave up, I was given some runner bean plants about seven because the germinate really well. So I've never bought a runner been plant as I use last year's beans as seeds. But if you've got too many when they get too big the outside is too tough, but the beans are good to eat, take the colourful skin off, then cook until soft, I add a tomato source which is my version of beans on toast / delicious IMO
Love the cauli! You do make me smile, great vlogs😂
I did laugh ! I thought I was the only one that talked to the wildlife like that.
I told the wasps who have nested in the garden compost bin that if they leave me alone I’d leave them alone.
Well done growing such a lovely cauliflower, I struggle to grow them , I hate slugs to if you don’t want to kill them you can put them in your compost they eat the decaying matter and help turn it into compost. I love watching your videos you do make me laugh.
😂😂 great video, had me laughing. You need to control that temper with the beans 🥳🤣🤣
I once heard a saying re slugs, not sure if it’s true, but “if it’s brown squish it down, if it’s black put it back”
Another fantastic plot tour thanks for sharing your amazing experience in your garden 🪴 keep up the great work.
🤣🤣🤣 hate to say it, but there’s not much point in lobbing slugs and snails over a fence as they’re “homing”.
A scientist friend carried out a scientific study and wrote a paper on it. They counted and marked the slugs/snails as they removed them and then lobbed them over a fence onto waste ground. Those slugs/snails returned within three days.
What with the slugs and bee attacks, this was a really funny blog! (you cheer my day up no end, thank you!)
I’ve given up on my Brussels and am in two minds about putting my broccoli out, as I’m sure it’ll go the same way
Yes that cauliflower is beautiful and I bet it will taste amazing, congratulations and well done!!😃
Thankyou Emma ,Love your gardening diaries 🌞
I chuck the slugs and snails into the compost and get them to work! 💚
You could try to plant those dark peas next year.😊
Enjoy your harvest especially the cauliflower 😊
Really impressed with your sweetcorn stalks, I think mine were deprived of water. But my flowers at the top don’t seem to be opening. Gutted
Last July, I got into a panic and decided that I didn't just want edibles in the garden, I really appreciated seeing some beautiful flowers so at the end of July I sowed loads of flowers that are for sowing from March in an attempt at a second flush. The seeds germinated in September, just tiny little seedings and continued to grow to no more than 3 cm throughout October and November. They survived the frost, the snow and in March they started to take off again. Well, I'm doing that again. Contrary to what we are told, I think the frost can preserve some seeds, until the weather warms up. In March I was the only person to have flowers in my garden; my foxgloves were 5ft, they grew to what I am sure was 7ft. My calendula over wintered and was blooming in March. It was just wonderful.
It is a leaf miner
this video was the highlight of my day. Kickboxing the bean structure was up there with fighting the white butterfly. LOL. Hang in there Take solace in those amazing broccoli and cauliflowers
That's leaf miner on the Chard - I get them on everything like chard, beetroot, spinach. So Annoying :(
Emma, apologies for laughing at you trying to fix your bean structure 😂
I had tears of laughter running down my cheeks 😂
Just what can we plant in the winter months and what we need or can do on the allotment before the winter takes hold x
What are your favorite recipes for cooking the things you harvest? Do you do something fancy, or more basic things? Does the purple cauliflower taste better than the white ones? It should just because it’s so beautiful!
Did you know that you can actually eat the leaves on the cauliflower? They are much like cabbage.
If I see a slug I'm afraid it's asking for a sprinkle of salt
Great cauliflower ❤
Salt on slugs is so cruel. You're burning them alive😢
And a dash of black pepper,yum
Oh your chard. The same is happening to my spinach. I need to find out what to do about it!
Thank you
Beet leaf minor I think is what's in your chard leaf..... they also effect beetroot leaf and spinach leaf
Seeds for next year Emma let them ripen on the side in the sun when we have it xx
I have the same problem with my chard, I haven’t been able to harvest anything edible yet 😢 I did harvest my very first Jack be Little pumpkin today though and have a few more that aren’t ready yet, which fine by me as I have a ton of courgettes to get through first 😁
Oh Yuk Emma those slugs! I've got caterpillars and they're horrible too and they smell. I chuck them over the dry stone wall lol xx
That cauliflower is magnificent!
10:25 😂 That's a beautiful gasp of wonder and excited.
We just sprinkle salt on the slugs to get rid of them
Slugs are gross and have a tendency to return, personally I’d take them of the allotment and drop them off somewhere or do what I do, pour salt on them do they die… 😊
I’ve had the same snail return 3 times after throwing him down a 50 ft train banking.. arrgghh!
you can eat cauliflower leave too
They are called leafe minders. They lay little eggs on the leafs
Hi Emma you could save those beans let them dry sow them again next year
Thanks for your videos Emma. I got my first plot in April and I’m amazed at what I’ve managed to grow but I’m not sure what I should be doing / planting now. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Sorry about the been structure but couldn't help having a giggle coz that's how I would've reacted 😂 that cauli is perfection 😋 fab vlog Emma 🥰
superb cauli, well done
Never seen a red slug before!
Slug slime is called mucus.
Hi Emma u know when ur one with nature when u can remove slugs without gloves 😂 u can do it with snails 😊 oh and doing a great job it's been a funny growing season this year with the weather we all feeling it at the moment with certain stuff not doing as well as last year but keep up the good work and videos
Harvest all your cauliflowers as soon as you can! I drown my slugs😢
That's ironic, I was only looking at my parsnips and thinking I wonder how Emma's parsnips are doing she sowed early. I hadn't seen an update on them for ages 😂
Never seen such weird looking slugs before. In New Zealand we have tiger slugs which eat the bad slugs. The tiger slugs have intricate tiger patterns on them.
Hiya Emma Thankyou for sharing oh Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce perhaps yummy. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
Fantastic cauliflower. Im so jealous. Mine all went to seed. 😒
Holy smokes... UK slugs! So glad we don't have those in Canada... just ice and snow and -30 temps in winter LOL
You are doing better than me, most of my allotment plants have been eaten by garden pests
Fabous harvest. Can you give an update on the rhubarb potato 🌱
I think it could be leaf miner on your chard
Gawd i hate slugs with the airholes eeeeww
You should see the slugs in my garden, they give a whole new meaning to the words
MORBIDLY OBESE!!
Sweet cherry pie Emma so funny love it keep it !! ❤🍒😁
Emma that's one cross robin, dig some wormies for him!😊
How do you cook your chard Emma? 🙂
Emma, I'm the same with slugs x
Emma, those Tote Bags of yours are showing as £15? That can’t be right, it must be an error surely? £15 for a fabric shopping bag??
That cheered me up no end 😂😂😂
My wife cuts slugs in half using scissors then throws them away.. they do not come back..!
How wicked.
So cute
Emma you make me laugh so much
what are you going to do with all those pumpkins?
Type of leaf miner they eat in between the leaf
How are your party pans?
You can keep your Monty on gardeners world they need you ! They are so boring. Keep the vids coming Emma 😂
Well done Whack them in Emma 😂 really funny watching your videos 😆😆I wonder what your family think of your vlogs??
