[@elainemcgran8828]

Emma after washing them u turn them upside down leaving them to dry for a few days then wrap them up when they completed dry😊.

[@loveatfirstsprout88allotment]

Look you gave after you finished reading the paper priceless, I enjoy your videos 😂🤣😊❤💐

[@brigidatorenconnorodonnell341]

Got to wash that mud right out of your tubers. I love that Emma, you are so entertaining.

[@carolwhite6979]

it helps to put the wrapped dry tubers into cardboard box for storage. dry andcool and dark.

[@ziacobbs705]

You are so hilarious. I look so forward to your vlogs!😂🤗❤

[@ColinTuer-h2i]

Having taken on my first ever plot in August, I've worked my way through all your videos. Thank you so much for the hours of enjoyment and inspiration. Planner is on the santa list!! Cant wait for my first spring now that I have brought the plot back under control. Keep up the good work Emma

Hi Emma, I recommend watching KZbin channel Garden Answer , Laura has videos on storing Dahlias ( tho she’s in America may still be useful, give ideas ) and very useful tips on separating the tubers ( if you choose to multiply your Dahlias) . Have a lovely weekend.

[@anotherswan]

I was thinking of you and the cold weather.... can you bring a flask of hot tea with you and have in your shed or a flask of soup... something to warm you while you're working. Love your diaries xx

[@AnnCamden]

Compost looking good. Smart keeping your clippers right there. During winter I collect kitchen compost stuff and shred brown paper bags, egg cartons and many amazon packaging that is brown. Keeps me busy with my compost garden when it’s to cold to grow anything.

[@debdonaghey4515]

Love your videos Emma! You are an inspiration for so many!

[@makcity7850]

Dahlia tubers are actually edible, they were originally grown as a source of food by ancient Aztecs.

[@englishgreenbackyardsustai6902]

Favourite KZbin channel ever and Emma is legendary gardener ever hope you don’t get caught off guard with spiders and slugs

[@JamieW-o7b]

She is a bit violent with those sheers??

[@MyBecky22]

Hi Emma, We have just been given our first ever allotment, and I am totally new to this allotment/gardening world. Iv just discovered your channel and I’m loving your posts. I’m also waiting for pay day, so I can get one of your planners 🥰 xxx

[@annetteperks]

Lovely to watch as always.

[@fareebug8439]

Adore your videos. ❤🎉❤

[@DonnaMorfitt]

Hi Emma, your channel is fab it’s grass roots allotmenting, I have unsubscribed from channels that have professionally built polytunnels and irrigation systems because they are not what it’s about. Keep whacking it in on this great channel for real allotment people 😂

[@emmasallotmentdiaries]

Ah thank you! I do try to keep things real! xx

[@doras.allotment]

Ooh that compost is going to be good Emma! 🤎

[@bryanyeo1745]

I just cut mine down tubers in the puts and take them in the shed. Then next just take them out job done

[@siobhanpainter802]

Shredded paper is great for the compost bin, so im shredding all my old letters and saving it up for the plot.

[@evileve6068]

It's been frozen here in Scotland -3 for the past week never had any rain in weeks .

[@jpennturner]

Snow, ice and hard frost last few days here in Derbyshire, even broad beans gone black so I've given up until spring now.

[@havvashenol6777]

love your vlogs

[@atropabelladonna]

I dug mine like 2 weeks ago and glad about it... we had real frost and snow last night :O

[@Annie-457-G]

I stored my dahlias as well a few days ago, as I got hit by some frost. Just stored the tubers in a paper bag and put them in the shed and they should be good to go for next year! Thank you again for another wonderful video! 😊

[@Kat-mh5kj]

You need the other kind of reik. The one which is fan shaped.😊

[@dereknash3638]

Two years ago I dug my dahlias up and still lost them, probably did not give them enough time before they dried out, last year I left them in the ground and they all survived, this year 2 weeks ago I cut them down , mulched and have left them in the ground again except 2 in pots which I cleaned and pot in brown paper bags. Hope you gave them enough time to fully dry out.

[@cairnsdiane9]

You can get some empty bananas boxes from the local shops to store your dahlia ❤

[@doras.allotment]

Ooh that’s a good tip!

[@zuzauramek9850]

If you remove Dahlias to store them you need remove also gladiolus bulbs.

[@LucRom-kz5uw]

Fantastisch Good work Emmas you the best te moostuin te bladeren opruimen Dalias knollen uit doen thans te video Top weekend grootjes 🌤☁️💧🍂🧤🧣☕️🌡🌜🪴🌿🌹

[@judithbeavis8449]

The tubers need to be dry before wrapping. Then go ahead and do what you are doing now.

[@lindat4854]

Emma thank you for reminding me about the dailies tubers , you make me feel so guilty because I dug mine up and left a lot of the soil on them and wrapped them in Paper then left them in my cold frame if they die it’s my fault for being lazy .

[@faith555buffy]

My potatoes got frost damage and died even with the fleece on them. Not bothering with Xmas potatoes any more after second year of failure!

[@kellieleyton6638]

Excited for allotment handbook 🎉

[@StevenCollins-u4m]

Enjoyed watching as usual - makes me smile / laugh. Good advice about earthing up / mulching the potatoes - I wish I'd done mine a while ago - too late now they've all died off. We live and learn 🙂

[@emmasallotmentdiaries]

I doubt mine will survive much longer, but it's worth a shot! x

[@Chris-pv2ht]

I used to lift Dahlias before the first frost so it gives them time to dry and store. What I did was clean the tubers allow a week or so to dry (frost free) then stop in one of them collapsing storage boxes. I lined it with newspaper and stored them in wood shavings and then cover with newspaper. I no longer have tubers. I just grow dahlias from seed, and they reach maturity in Summer. You can then lift them and reuse next year. I do reuse Begonia though. I often loose odd one by Spring. This year I dabbed them in Sulphur once they were dried.

[@jasonwoods4811]

Hi Emma, I haven't got a allotment, but I find what you say and do., is advice for my rose garden, please keep up your hard work :D

[@michelenelandsman8940]

Good day Michelene from a very sunnny Cape Town. Love to watch the season change in your garden gives me ideas for my winter planting. Love your work ❤

[@MarieCB916]

Emma, Cotto Verdi KZbin channel have great info on lifting and storing dahlias. 🌺

[@dymonicreed7521]

You can separate them. You don't have to leave them Altogether.

[@zannasfoto]

I have been digging today... my parsnips 😂😂😂

[@valeriepillon6960]

In N America most newspaper Color’s are done with vegetable dyes so I imagine you’re ahead of us on that front over there?

[@littlejoe8359]

Gordon Bennett !! would you ever take that leaf rake to the allotment

[@sarah3136]

I think you dug the dahlias up when you first started but they went mouldy in your shed?

[@gardenturkey]

I had some really nice dahlias in my garden and I thought that they would survive in the ground with some straw mulch , I was wrong 😢

[@don5125]

😇👍

[@Mygardencraftcabin]

❤❤❤

[@lucrom1097]

Fantastisch Good work Emmas you the best te moostiun te bladeren opruimen te snoeien the knoldaias uit doe the moostiun thans te video Top weekend 👍✔️🤗💖☕⛅🍁🌡️_1

[@nineteenninetyfive]

I've been ill the last week so my dahlias haven't had any attention. I guess they might die which would be sad because i have quite a few

[@Hamilton183]

Is this a new piece of music?

[@Hamilton183]

Oh no! I love your channel but they are way too short. It’s over before I’ve truely settled into it. 😢

[@DonnaMorfitt]

I agree longer vlogs would be fab

[@emmasallotmentdiaries]

Haha! Good to know. I do find myself cutting stuff out as I tend to aim for 20 minutes. Will think about longer vids in the spring time when there is more to film I think xx

[@PlayWhitLife]

Hey emma! Maby its time to get rid of the trees on your plot? U will get more sunshine and hopfully less sluggs and more harvest becauce your plot is not shady anymore!

[@emmasallotmentdiaries]

I might think about thinning them out a bit this year x

[@PlayWhitLife]

@emmasallotmentdiaries thats indeed also a option. They might just take allot of water and food off your plot. Think about the woodchip you can get from them if u rent a mulcher ☺️

[@JamieW-o7b]

I am always desperate for newspapers and plastic shopping bags! Once so vital for so many jobs, just history now. Have to buy bags for the bin and to give lottie food to friends....did that save the planet??
