Sweetcorn Harvest and tomato heartbreak vlog 73

Excellente vidéo 😊

[@GardenofEmma]

Merci beaucoup 😀

Peaches and cream corn is two colours hence the name 👍 and any fresh corn is delicious. If they are starting to go red they should ripen at home in a sunny spot, I put my green ones in newspaper and they ripen (mostly). Shame about the blight though 😢. Mine even with all the heat and sun took ages to ripen. Great update Ems have a marvellous week, Ali 🌦️🇨🇦

[@TheGrowUpChannel]

Lovely update Emma. The corn being multi coloured maybe due to cross pollinating with next doors variety. Dahlias look beautiful. Nice to see you back. Danny 🌱

[@GardenofEmma]

Thanks Danny. Yes I’m sure it wasn’t multi coloured seed so must be cross pollination. I’ll still eat it 😂

Hey lovely ☺️ oh my word, falling through the side of the greenhouse 😮 so so glad you’re okay. Sweetcorn look absolutely amazing Emma!!! Mine didn’t do as well this year. You should be happy, you’ve done a great job!! Have a lovely Friday & weekend xx Allie & Tricia

[@GardenofEmma]

very happy with the sweet corn it was a good crop to be honest and one of the best I’ve ever had. It was very scary falling through the greenhouse completely by accident as well but totally like me. Miss accident prone. I was just thankful that I didn’t injure myself and I came off without a scratch.

[@TheRightPearPlot]

@@GardenofEmma wonder if Danny will bring that up 😆 accident prone Emma. Do you have some blight resistant tomatoes for next year?? Rose crush look like some big tomatoes 🍅 but they are taking forever to ripen up.

[@GardenofEmma]

@TheRightPearPlot I’m sure he will remind me lol. Nearly blew myself up in the shed last year and the year before that impaled my foot on a nail. Whacked myself on the head with a cultivator the list goes on

[@TheRightPearPlot]

Nothing holding you back!!! Suit of armour needed 🤣🤣

[@dogontheplot]

I keep the doors and windows open in the greenhouse but definitely didnt have great pollination in there. Chillis great, but tomatoes not so much - I'm going to go back to the electric toothbrush next year!!! Dahlias look FANTASTIC Emma. They should keep flowering until the first frost. Let the tubers get a good frost to them before lifting /mulching - that will signal to them to go dormant until next year 👍

[@GardenofEmma]

Ah brilliant was wondering when to mulch them. My first frost is December usually around 14th so will add to the winter jobs

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝thanks for the great video🌻

[@GardenofEmma]

Thank you for watching and supporting the channel. 😀 glad you enjoyed it

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

My tomatoes have just got blight too!

[@GardenofEmma]

Oh no what a shame Helen. Green tomato chutney

[@agnesn8603]

❤❤wow

[@GardenofEmma]

Yes very pleased with the sweetcorn. It’s been a success

[@agnesn8603]

@@GardenofEmma wow that's glad to hear..🥰

[@adysveggarden]

Hi Emma, still nice amount of sweetcorn, shame about the blight, if you do grow outdoor next year try just round shaped tomatoes (rather than the squat or flat shaped varieties that you had) or ox heart because they ripen quicker than the flat varieties. Dahlia's look lovely.

[@GardenofEmma]

Oh great tip. Thank you. I will look out for those. Blight is horrible but it won’t stop me 😂

[@JacobsonFamilyAllotment]

That's one thing I want to try and grow next year is corn never had the space to do it until now.

[@GardenofEmma]

It’s so easy. I wiggle mine each time I pop to the plot to make sure it’s pollinated and such fun for family to do. My neice loved shaving the corn but it obviously worked because it was the best pollination yet. Have a great week

[@eliandkate]

oh making use of the neighbours sweet corn to pollinate yours, clever :D Green tomato hints :D I'm not a chutney fan either but relish is good , so is ketchup and of course fried green tomatoes

[@GardenofEmma]

It seems to have worked. My first sweetcorn harvest in three years. Yay. Not as exciting as the carrot though 😂

[@eliandkate]

@@GardenofEmma I was quite excited. I'd love to grow sweetcorn - it's on my "if I ever get an allotment list" :D

[@wernermcgann3792]

😊

[@GardenofEmma]

Thank you 😀

[@nickthegardener.1120]

Sweetcorn is hungry Emma, give them lots of compost and at least 1 foot apart, i mulched my corn when it was growing last year to give it a boost and it was over 7 ft tall.👌👍😁 You got some decent corn though 👍👌💪

[@GardenofEmma]

Oh that’s good to know. I wondered why my neighbours was double the size

[@rhondafarmer4824]

Have you asked that lady that gave you the plants, what they are.?

[@GardenofEmma]

Yes but she didn’t label them so she has no idea either lol 😂

[@RobinGardens]

How scary to fall through the glass.

[@GardenofEmma]

Yes I rushed to the social room to check I didn’t have glass lodged or any cuts any where. Not a scratch

[@RobinGardens]

@@GardenofEmma Thank goodness!
