September Jobs At The Allotment

This week on the allotment, I’ve been busy preparing for the end of the growing season. I started by pruning my tomato plants to help the remaining fruits ripen before the cooler weather sets in. I also had a fantastic harvest, bringing in some delicious tomatoes, fresh potatoes, and beans. Finally, I cleared out my mini polytunnel, making space for the next set of crops. Join me as I share tips on pruning, harvesting, and preparing your garden for the changing seasons!

I enjoy the shorter daily type posts myself, and anything garden related.

Thank You ☺️ This really helps, have a great weekend 😀

That replacement polytunnel looks to be working out really well for you! I like shorter more frequent videos, but whatever works for you works for me.

[@GemInTheGarden]

Yes the polytunnel is just amazing👏 Thank You that's really helpful, I hope you've had a great weekend 😀

[@TheFarmyardGarden]

Wow…that was such a good pruning. I was stunned how different it looked. Went from a jungle to super organised. 35 tomato plants. Wow! Amazing. You’ve gotten some fabulous harvests. I think and gardening related content is relatable to the channel and us viewers. I know you have Vince help you with the editing, so whatever video type works best for you.

[@GemInTheGarden]

I'm amazed that the vines all did so well, I always cram as many in as I can but have never had quite so many, I guess it was a good test to show it can be done 👍 it actually also dawned on me last week that I only fed my tomatoes the day I planted them! Amazing! Shows we probably don't need to mother them like we all do 😅🤣🤣 Thank You Claire that's really helpful 😊 xxx

[@kimtocker1667]

Yes please! More of garden related content and things you do in your garden, also loving the info you post regarding what you do with your produce, freezing, preserving, recipes. It's always great to see things you are re-doing in your gardens or allotment, love watching you start from scratch with a project then seeing it through. I am enjoying a mish-mash of everything in the one video myself - your content is great. I've learnt heaps from watching your channel - thank you! (A bonus is watching your lovely Vince at work and your gorgeous tabby, lol) Much love from New Zealand

[@GemInTheGarden]

Hi Kim 👋 Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. It's so helpful 😊 it's great to hear that you enjoy watching Vince and I, and of course our 2 cats, they are called Little Boy and Little Girl and they are brother and sister 🐈 x

[@wandawilliams7769]

I love the mixture of your videos related to your garden and what you do with your harvests, like freezing your tomatoes and making cider with your apples. As you are busy and as others might be you might want to do videos that are around 15 minutes in length. Hope my comments are helpful. Bottom line I just love watching and catching up on how you’re doing and of course I also learn things.

[@GemInTheGarden]

Hi Wanda Thank You that's really helpful ☺️ Thank You for watching and supporting my channel 🥰 x

I like seeing both the allotment and your home garden - personally I prefer long videos - but still watch the shorter catch ups too 🌿

[@GemInTheGarden]

Thank You Helena that is so helpful 😊 I hope you've had a great weekend 😀

[@brigidatorenconnorodonnell341]

I love the videos of your allotment and what you are doing because it has helped a lot for me to see what I should try for my garden. Also seeing how to manage the new raised beds at your place is very interesting too

[@GemInTheGarden]

Thank You that's really helpful and it's great to hear you enjoy watching my channel amd also get something from it. Have a great week 😀

[@AnyKeyLady]

Hey Gemma garden and food related all sounds great! Have a great week and fingers crossed it doesn't rain too much!

[@GemInTheGarden]

Thank You 🥰 I think the rain will be with us for at least a week 🌧 I hope you've had a fantastic weekend 😀

[@AnyKeyLady]

@@GemInTheGarden I know and then they are talking about a cold snap! I hope the tomatoes ripen in time. It's never been this early for cold temps. We had a great weekend thanks. Made some tomato soup, tomato powder and some sun dried honeycomb tomatoes. Very muggy today and had the back door open as the oven was on for a roast dinner and drying. Last week we planted some Chinese cabbage and kohlrabi. Not sure what is going on with the sugar snap peas. New packet and sowed 20. Only 2 have sprouted! This year has been so crazy hasn't it!? We ended up having to cut back two of our chilli plants as somehow aphids managed to get into the house. Hopefully we can overwinter them upstairs as we are potting up some tomato cuttings. It was a bit sad and had to take them outside through the window to hose them down. I hope we have managed to solve the issue. How was your weekend? Are the kids settling into school ok? Clubs started last week so getting back into the swing of things. x

[@GemInTheGarden]

@AnyKeyLady yes im hoping the tomato's ripen in time, I will be down the plot tomorrow so I will see how they have been getting on. My seeds have been doing the same, not great germination, this year has just been so strange hasn't it! Yes back to school and all settled in and like you say the clubs have started so will be used new routine soon! X

Some awesome harvests Gemma and great job on pruning. Mine have all been removed now but the green ones are ripening in the house. You’ve got sunshine and we may be getting rain and I’m totally fine with that ☔️. I think your content is great and the mix up is interesting to watch. Have a super week Gem, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦

Hey Ali ☺️ I think mine will be coming up shortly too 😀 I am ripening my green ones at home too and they are doing ok 👍 we now have the rain and I think it's here to stay for the week 🌧 hope you've had a great weekend 😀

I can die happy knowing I succeeded in converting you to using trugs and not carrier bags. Nice to see you using your birthday present ❤ not at all jealous of all your tomatoes 😪😂

Very envious of the Good mother stallard beans, they are just so pretty. I tried so hard to get a crop but only one plant remains. Honestly I'm happy to watch long or short video's, just do what works best with your daily life.

[@GemInTheGarden]

I'm so pleased with them 😊 something have come out better than I expected this year and other things have been a really poor show, that's gardening though isn't it ☺️ Thank You and have a great weekend ☺️

[@karenwright2444]

Yep! Anything garden, veg, seeds etc. I love ideas on what to do with gluts of veg too. Maybe a main weekly one and maybe a few ad hoc ones like your own garden raised beds when you're doing a special additional project ... your choice really -😅
