AUTUMN ALLOTMENT MAINTENANCE / ALLOTMENT GARDENING UK

[@karaknight6794]

Just found you, Emma. As a new allotment owner, i think you're fabulous and im enjoying all your vlogs. Ignore the negativity. You're doing an amazing job, and I'm enjoying learning from your own journey. ❤

[@pfdroner9849]

You have achieved so much on both your plots in a short space of time.....the negative comments will never diminish all you have accomplished and the joy you have brought to us in your videos.

[@kateblogs]

I think you've done a great job. I started watching when you took on the new plot and it's amazing how different it looks now.

[@lynnegunns604]

Emma, I wouldn’t worry about it. There are some sad Folk that take great pleasure in criticising others. You do you and enjoy your Allotment in the way you do. You do not have to justify yourself to anyone this is your channel and if people want to watch it all well and good if they take something away from it fantastic if they don’t, then they don’t have to watch it again but they do not have to slate you or your efforts.. Anyway, Rocky foxy Einstein and the dickie birds all seem to love your plot so if you have the approval of all the animals that is a ✔️in my book youyou go girl you’re doing a great job and your are an inspiration to many.

[@janebolton8971]

You don't have to explain yourself when you look back at last year you've done marvels❤

[@dawnbaker2939]

Emma do not listen to negative comments I love watching your allotment and you feeding the birds I am giving up my allotment this year and growing in my garden instead stay happy x

[@robineasby5328]

Your plot looks great, Emma , and is the result of all the hard work you have put in. It's an allotment , not a formal Italian garden ! The critics are speaking through their aspidistras !

[@theresefennell9635]

I really like your style Robin.....aspidistras 😂😂

[@LTMarshall]

Gurl...Your plot is lovely and you are my fave garden vlogger to watch. You are so like me in many ways, your style, your chaos and humour, and even your anxiety. Your plot is so real and homely. It's a joy to watch. I would love to spend time in your plot because it looks so welcoming. I am all for nature.

[@channad8188]

Your plot is great,ppl with negative comments is jealous they can't get one😢😢my little garden is just like that o feed the bees and wildlife and my kids play

[@marilynstanbury5098]

How can anyone criticise you so much, you’ve done an amazing job and all on your own. I doubt the critics saw your plot and all the hard work you did over the winter. Well done you for not taking notice of ridiculous people who have nothing better to do! Thanks

[@HollyMaysGoodLife]

Sweet peas look great, especially considering it’s September- fingers crossed they continue!! 🥰

[@BettyandtheBees]

Your allotment is beautiful. I can't believe how much you got done this year by yourself and without any power tools. Well impressed!!

[@paulina60945]

You really inspire me Emma. Stay fabulous!

[@suevoss8698]

Emma,ignore people's nasty comments.You have two allotment plots, a home garden, two children and a life outside of the allotments so just be you and do what you want.I never understand why someone who doesn't like you style of gardening would watch you blogs?If they don't like how you garden, no one is forcing them to watch.Personally I like your style of gardening as it inspires me and also makes me realize my garden doesn't have to be perfect either.

[@didi2s]

Emma, what you have accomplished with your plots is amazing. Just maintaining an area already cleared is hard work, but on top of that you cleared out and reclaimed a completely overgrown mess. Also, Rocky has the most skinniest and longest tail I have ever seen on a cat! It is always fun to see him show up.

[@CropswithColin-gn7gg]

we think your plot looks great, don't give the haters a second thought, do you enjoy it? then it's right for you, our garden beds are like a jungle and we love it, wildlife don't need straight lines - big licks from Colin the dog 🐶

[@junekay2516]

Don't think that nasty commenter could have seen what you had to contend with a year ago when you took in your second plot. Take no notice they are just mean spirited you've done amazingly well 👍👍💜💜 17:49

[@debyorkshirelass9674]

You definitely don't have to justify yourself Emma, some people are cruel with unnecessary comments. You've worked so hard on land that otherwise would be left to over grow. Stand tall Emma ,your little channel and your wonderful personality that encouraged me to garden added to my recovery from mental health . So you helped grow more than plants you help grow people too and for that I thank you .❤

[@SMRetired]

Please take no notice of the rude and nasty comments, they should mind their own business and keep their uncalled for comments to themselves. You are lovely, your allotment is fabulous, most of us love your content. Im so glad you have toughened up a bit and told them (in your own lovely way) to 'do one' 🤣, I for one love your content 🙂xxx

[@Pinkypurrrfect]

I dont usually comment on you tube video but I just had too. I had an allotment 10 years ago, I just found out I was having a child and didn't have the most amount of money to put Into the plot. I kept it for 4 years but because it wasn't completely weed free and booming like all the others that I saw online I decided to give it up. I've been following you for almost a year now and love your way of working. It's about enjoying what your doing and not perfection. I'm now on a waiting for a plot in my area and excited to do what I can. Not expecting perfect but the amazing fresh homegrown crops. That's all down to your videos. Keep at it and ignore the haters ❤

[@audreylittlewood1313]

Take no notice of negative comments Emma, your hard work has changed that overgrown plot into what it is today. It's looking great and things are growing well. You do a great job looking after the wild life and Rocky too.

[@georgemartin9618]

I wonder if the evil commenters realise the amount of time and effort goes into every episode of Emma's Allotment Diaries. Planning the shots , locations, shooting angles , filming ,focusing ,fixing , retakes and bloopers etc . Then hours of editing, voice overs , music and then uploading to KZbin. Intermingled with all that we have the actual gardening all done single handedly. Not forgetting to feed Einstein and chatting to Rocky before collecting more woodchip . Now multiply all this by three, or four if you count in the new Sunday matinee. Well done Emma.

[@dawnskeates9898]

Oh Emma, my heart broke when you said you had some nasty comments.. You don't need to explain anything to anyone! I absolutely love your plot and you work so hard. I always look forward to your videos. Don't let anyone steal your light ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tabithadrew9875]

Well let me blimin counter that hater, Emma, I got the phonecall today that I have finally got my new allotment plot!! You are one of the main reasons I applied to even get an allotment, I'm so excited and your vids have helped push me forward to get to this point. I get to view and sign for it on Thursday. You truly inspired me, even if all I seem to do is occasionally pop up and go on about planting more spuds and generally being a tad overexcited about spuds 😅 I appreciate well beyond just your spuds Emma 😅. Please don't be deterred by someone that's obviously a bit bitter and shriveled enough to say such horrible things. There's plenty of people who appreciate just how much you do!! Here's to continuing to be productive! ❤

[@dukeywukey3909]

Rocky is awesome! Please feed Rocky like you do Einstein! He’s so loving and happy and boisterous ❤ We love Rocky!

[@lindajones3015]

I'm with all the lovely comments you've had today, Emma. I promised myself I wasn't going to comment on anymore video's I watched as someone added a comment to mine on another great allotment blog and they were really scathing. I always say I'm fairly new to growing and therefore take in any info I can. This person really annoyed me and made me feel stupid. But I felt so strongly about your negative comments I had to add my support to all your loyal followers. YOU ARE A LOVELY PERSON, don't ever forget that 😊

[@samselbie349]

Absolutely loved this :) Thanks for sharing!

[@pamh3990]

Hi Emma, I've been subscribed for over a year and not commented before, please do not take notice of a few nasty keyboard warriors they are people who not got anything good to say, do and very very sad. keep doing what you are doing, we enjoy it. x

[@lynettesmith9450]

Emma you are doing a great job, I have an allotment so know how hard work it is, ignore all the negative comment and keep doing exactly what you are doing.

[@ziacobbs705]

I love you, your plot, and your vlog. You're not a bad comedian either. 🤗❤️

[@kieronwatts2885]

There's no magic in an allotment without character. I'm not sure what some people expect! Your plots are lovely.

[@jpennturner]

Your plots are great, the wild boundaries are beautiful and I feel sad for anyone that doesn't recognize the balance between gardens and wildlife environments.

[@JenniMBE]

That's awful. I can't believe people would be so rude. I think you've done a great job on your plot. Ignore them

[@karenclarke366]

I don’t understand why some people are so rude, I totally agree with your style of allotment as my style is the same but I would never be horrible about other people’s allotments, each to their own ways. You do you 🥰💕😊

[@sonicworm8249]

Allotments are growing not showing

[@wendymitchell4004]

You don't need to justify yourself Emma ..you give us content 3 times a week and your plot is great ..ignore the negative people they obviously have nothing better to do with their time 😊

[@kpenrose04]

As I told the lady at "dogontheplot" a chaotic garden is a healthy garden. Your allotment looks fab, and if it makes you happy, then it's perfect just the way it is 😊

[@lindawright686]

Wildlife need somewhere to live and we can provide that by leaving wilder areas in our gardens/allotments and growing wildlife friendlier plants, every little helps. Love your vlogs Emma ❤

[@brianstevenson4529]

Hi Emma your plot is great and having followed you for a while I think what you grow is great , this year as been a challenge for us all but I love your blogs so keep them coming , your doing great 👍😀

[@chriscrouch449]

Emma your plots are amazing you have worked so hard on both of them, I just can't understand why some people are so rude 😢, don't ever let those kind of people get to you, keep up ALL your hard work and never give up, you have helped me so much with my mental health and my own garden THANK YOU

[@carolinecarter7992]

Emma you are amazing with everything you have achieved so far , you always inspire me to go to my veggie plot & do something , you have taught me so much in the last 2 years of watching every single 1 of your vlogs , ignore negative unnecessary comments from people , we all think you are Amazing 👏 🙂

[@MichaelBatchelor-q3o]

Hi Emma love your plot I know how difficult it can be doing it your own as I also do work alone. Ignore the moaners best place for them is in the compost heap. Keep up the good work. Mike B.

[@bluumz-n-veg]

Don't validate troll comments. There are people who get off on being nasty while hiding safely behind a wall of anonymity. They want a reaction, ANY reaction. IGNORE. I have a neighbor on one side who has let his back garden go pretty wild and unkempt. Though I'm occasionally annoyed by the weeds that keep attempting to encroach into my yard, I'm also enthralled by all the pollinators I see over the fence! I'm simply amazed at how much you've done with the new plot! If it were me, I wouldn't have had it ready for planting until 2025, LOL. I love your attitude, I love your videos, and I love your allotment! And I like your little change in production style by showing us more of your actual work in fast forward mode. 🙂 (Some garden-tubers only do the walk-and-talk but I don't subscribe to them. I like to see a bit of action/work done, too.)

[@ruthadams2413]

I could not believe the progress you made in the new plot let alone got it to the point that you actually were able to grow things. You are a mom and wife you have way more than the plot to worry about. Don't pay attention to the haters, they probably never had an appointment or if they did they walked into it being pristine I'm older andI have some help from my family with moving wood chips and dirt. I also have a riding mower with a cart so I can pull more at a time and still seems like I am not ever done Go Emma, keep it real

[@stacied242]

Also...I am looking forward to your children's book with Einstein...Rocky...etc 😊

[@libbyroseoutdoors7802]

I'm sad you've had to defend yourself - I find your channel so soothing and inspiring. I love the wildlife area ❤

[@barbaraboom5377]

Emma, you did an amazing job this year and you are an example for me on indurance and I would have never done so much as you. You can surely be so proud!! Go to the allotment in every weather, do hard work and rewilding area’s. And be funny and cheerful despite some hard periods. You are an example of modern alloment-care. Young people like you are doing good work for the environment. We older people can learn from that! It gives me a lot of inspiration ❤

[@cherylwilliford3192]

You've done a fantastic job. 😊 One or two Karen's speaking out should NEVER depress you. I've seen you transform your plots into the glory it is. Feed that poor, skinny visitor. He's longing for food and love. Maybe his owner is too stingy with food and love. Sniff. Love your bird. He's super sweet. We deal with voles and can't plant. You are blessed to only deal with bugs. Lol Much love coming your way! ❤

[@kellieleyton6638]

I think you’ve done amazing job by yourself. I don’t have an allotment but I watch every vlog, because I think you’re inspirational. I converted part of my bland, boring garden because of you. Keep doing you 👍

[@govidgordana2293]

I so enjoy your podcast and I’m always inspired by your love of gardening. I put in a couple of raised beds in my backyard this summer. Thank you💕🌹🌻🌼🥕🥬🌽🌶️

[@margaretalice6343]

Emma I watched you throughout autumn & winter transform the new plot. You were and continue to be an amazing inspiration. I’ve been a gardener for many years & have learnt so much from you eg wildlife area & addition of flowers for pollinators. I’ve done that on my plot this season & the plot is alive with beneficial insects Never had such good crops. All thanks to you Emma. Look forward to more videos 🤩

[@lindacook1085]

Saying your untidy overgrown plot has put them of getting a allotment themselves.says one thing they are.nt up to the job.if they really be wanted one they would just get one instead of sitting on there butt having a pop at you.these people need to you know what.any way after that rand Emma your doing a good job.x

[@nharber9837]

Agree completely. If the idea of messiness or over growth or whatever putting someone off a plot shows they aren’t ready. Nature is messy, dirty and chaotic. Forests don’t naturally grow in neat little rows. If it has to be Insta ready at all times, they don’t want a garden. They want a social media story. Which is fine, but a different hobby.

[@maryalcock9451]

Emma ignore the negative comments you’re doing a grand job ! I love your blogs thanks 🙏 keep up the good work 👏👏

[@lindixie5624]

You've done really well Emma. Don't take any notice of the nasty comments. Maybe they should've gone to specsavers!

[@irenesmith5676]

Spot on Emma it’s an allotment & yours is lovely lv Irene 😘 xx

[@lif9774]

I was upset when neighbours were aggressive and rude about my front lawn being a wild garden, but I have watched the bees and butterflies from my sofa all summer, and we had a woodpecker collecting insects. So many birds.I have loved it. Let the joy you get overcome the negative.❤

[@christinephillips2069]

I like the wild areas of your plots stuff what other people say

[@dianewyatt7617]

The people who choose to make unkind comments obviously haven't seen just how overgrown your new part was when you took it on. They are just sad people who probably don't even own a garden. It also must be difficult to bring many suitable tools to an allotment due to theft etc. Never let them get to you, the rest of us nice people enjoy your blogs.

[@mariadaltonshaw7755]

You’re doing a great job, just keep going.

[@susiea1419]

Well said Emma. Ignore the naysayers! It’s your plot 🎉 Rocky sounds hungry😢

[@suecreese]

Emma I love your plot, it looks so normal. It looks better than my garden so natural xx

[@christianahug3765]

Wtf your allotment looks great! Don't worry about dumb comments. They ought to go watch those lawn care videos where they spend hours where they spend hours turning their gardens into golf courses. My dad is 71 and doesn't watch KZbin but he loves your videos and your personality. Both he and I have your attitude when it comes to gardening.

[@BryanBeechey]

Hello Emma, i am a subscriber to your channel and have followed your transformation of the overgrown plot you started with, it is a credit to all the hard work you have put in. So forget about all those who try to knock you down. There are more of us who support you, so keep on truckin !!!!!! as Bob Dylan said. Bryan.

[@nigeladderley1088]

As long as your happy with what you do to your plots that is all that matters it you who pays the rent not moaners and growers just keep doing what your doing ❤

[@carolwhite6979]

people who are chronically critical of others' work need to take a good hard look at themselves! I read somewhere a long time ago... i.e, years... People tend to be most critical of others for the things they do not like about themselves. They see it in your work and jump on it... you... instead of getting their own act together. Personally, I'd say you have a very comfortable, welcoming relaxed gardening style. You welcome and encourage the wildlife and local animals. You care about all of them and nurture them even when it is not easy. You laugh at yourself and your own foibles.. that shows greater wisdom then you might realize. Enjoy your gardens Emma, even as I enjoy watching your videos

[@sharonbownes5170]

I’m absolutely shocked that anyone would say anything bad about your plots, you’ve worked so hard and done so well. Ignore them and continue to feel proud of what you’ve achieved

[@mandytaylor1008]

Emma you have done so amazingly well from the very beginning. It doesn’t matter what people think you do it your way. You are doing it for you and not others. There will always be someone to criticise just for the sake of it

[@anotherview7937]

Love your place, it's so cool.

[@littlejoe8359]

I love your wee plot, when is open day

[@maryconnell888]

Emma please get a beehive for your allotment, someone would set it up and teach you how to look after it and even if it failed think of the amount of people you would encourage to do the same, think of how many bees there would bee❤🐝 ❤

[@julieannbridge9072]

Hey Emma..opinions are like arm pits .. everyone has them, but some of them stink ... you are an inspiration, my dear ..absolutely love your attitude towards your allotment, and I think you're doing a great job ❤

[@YvonneCook-i1p]

U dont have to explain Ur self ,if u know about the importance of wild life u know ,my plot is mad and flowery❤️🌻🌻🌻🌻❤URS is lovely xx

[@margerycummings8158]

I love your plot, it’s truly beautiful ❤. Take no notice of the sad people who can’t say something positive ☹️. Where is Einstein, have I missed something? Hope he’s ok 😍

[@berniefernandes5835]

Emma, you've worked very hard on your allotments. No garden has to be perfect, much more interesting! Keep up the great work! 🎉🎉

[@clarefoskett9959]

I'm proud of you for self publishing! You are a published author!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Keep the good work up Emma !! Love that you care about nature

[@christinamichael2043]

You have done excellently well Emma. These people with derogatory comments are just jealous. I love your allotment,I also havev2 allotments recognise how hard d you work. I like a little out of control 😅Xx

[@AudreyM2023-yo1fb]

You’ve done a great job.I’m glad you don’t allow negative comments to make you doubt yourself.👏🥰

[@noseel5]

Well i think youve done a tremendous job. Taking on two plots thats hard .I gave up for this year as nothing was growing . Got one crop of rhubarb back in FEB, and then it stopped growing .Love your attitude . Forgot your special phrase. But its, if it aint growing then plant more in the ground, and now your seeing the results .

[@twelvesmylimit]

We think you're amazing, Emma. ❤

[@christinamichael2043]

So do I ❤

[@laurathomson5053]

Your plot is looking beautiful sweet,take no notice of insecure and negative people 😉🙏🌷🌹☔

[@KevinField-w6p]

emma let me tell you your plot is really good it has something for everything i wish mine looked more like yours

[@debrichardson595]

I don't agree with that lady, I watch your videos all the time and for inspiration on my new allotment, mine was greatly overgrown so I'm doing it a bit at a time, it is a lot of work but I'm enjoying it so much. I don't think people sometimes realise how much hard work goes into having an allotment, but it's so rewarding. It's so easy for people watching and criticising from their armchairs. I love your videos, your plot is lovely and the fact you have Einstein and Rocky featuring in your videos makes them very special. I love Robins. I say well done Emma! Keep going! ❤

[@WVislandia]

Emma, I just wanted to say how much I have been enjoying your videos. I don't have an allotment but when I did have a garden, I found it very rewarding and also very much work. I can see in your allotment a great deal of thought and work and I think I'd be darn proud if it were mine. Well done!

[@loftyskies123]

I think youve done a great job managing two plots especially by yourself , take no notice of the moaning minnies . carry on doing what you do and ignore them bet theyve never grown even a spud .

[@mags9536]

You have every right to be very proud of yourself. You've put a lot of hard work into your plot. Anybody that's knows anything about growing anything knows you need the polinators. And we all need to support the wildlife any way we can. Keep doing what your doing. Your doing an excellent job 😊

[@clarehartland150]

I saw that very rude comment a few weeks ago. She was totally out of order and showed a complete lack of understanding about gardening, allotmenteering and the environment. Please don’t take those sort of comments to heart, the supportive and positive comments far outweigh the ignorant few. Your plot is massive and you have done so well to manage it by yourself!

[@rebeccamansbridge3926]

Take no notice of the nasty comments, allotment plots are bloody hard work, we’ve got 1 and a half plots and there’s 4 of us on the so for you to be doing it on your own you are doing a fantastic job and I think your plots look great

[@antoniaporretta2743]

Don’t listen to them Emma. You just do you ☺️ People who comment negatively usually have an internal complex of their own. Maybe they need to look inwards instead of trying to make you feel like 💩 We have good days and bad days and all we can do is our best. Enjoy your autumn 😊

[@valdouglas8804]

I like your program your plot seems a lot to me to manage so good on you x

[@suesmith9202]

Emma you have a beautiful allotment. Don't give the haters time of day. It's just pure jealousy.

[@stevecollins6858]

Oh my God I'd die to have my plot as good as yours. I've literally set yours as the gold standard I am striving to achieve lol. Ignore any horrible comments. Your plot looks great!

[@andymatts8010]

You really do a fantastic job Emma, plot looks amazing ❤

[@kieronmoore3390]

[@yvetteskeen]

I think your plot is amazing!

[@sallyfenney429]

❤You're awesome! You've taken on that totally overgrown plot and singly cleared it to something that is producing, (plus you've had no offer of help from site owners to take away such a huge amount of weed etc!) keep your chin up hun, big hugs from us Emma supporters!

[@FrancesDavey-c8y]

Your plot is lovely Emma x

[@dawnlambert5157]

Great job, Emma. Line them with cardboard and secure the corners where you have screwed them together with some wire, twist it tight ❤

[@Greenmanure62]

Autumn is the hardest time of the year on the plot (my opinion). So much tidying and clearing. Take no notice of keyboard warriors. Your plot looks great. Some of the ones near me are sadly jungle like, which is sad. They should be cultivated. I'm worried we may lose them if more people don't take them on. It's mostly older folks on our plots, and I fear many are out of energy. It's great to see young folks growing stuff. The problem with pollinators this year was the amount of rain at a vital time. On the other hand...I have loads of voles, moles, squirrels, birds and deer! One more thing. Could you get yourself a cheap battery operated strimmer? It was a life changer for me.
