National fox welfare will provide free medication for mange or maybe local wildlife rescue

We are in the U.S. and love seeing gardeners in the U.K. Thanks for sharing your lovely garden and all your hard work. We were inspired by your pumpkin archway, and have created one too. The gardens are doing well because God is good!

That’s amazing!! I hope it grows well for you! X

It's my guess, from first-hand experience, that your broken brassicas and displayed netting will have been done by foxes. The net itself I doubt would have been heavy enough to break the plant, and cats don't tend to walk over stuff like that - whereas foxes just jump on EVERYTHING!

In hot weather red foxes often shed their fur in clumps which can look disconcerting and is often mistaken for mange, however you are right to be highly cautious and I’d suggest being equally cautious with Rocky who could pick it up from them if it is about.

Here in the Isle of Man we don’t have any Fox or badgers or squirrel but we do have the second largest population of wallabies in the world, just a fact I bet you did not know? Regards to you Emma.

I agree, the fox looks like it has mange. Poor thing.

I think the fox has been sleeping where the net broke and he or she broke the brassicas. 🦊 Edit:Just realised another comment already let you know! Were all thinking the same 😂

You need to make your hoops higher, put some sticks in bottom of hoops 😊

Hi Emma and everyone I’m not sure if you already know this or not but I’ve just found out that the extra little nub above the spout on the watering can is for the rose head to sit when you are not using so you don’t lose it hope this helps you and some others out

Love the update! My climbing pumpkin has 2 parts that have snapped, so I wrapped some of the tendrils around the parts that have snapped and its still going from strength to strength!

I Remember you putting a plaster in the Tomato plant

Grafting tape is also made for repairing broken plant stems, it works fantastic and keeps disease out 😊

Hi Emma. I've never used sticking plaster, but I do use parcel tape to rescue plants that need saving after me breaking their stems. So far, I've saved a cucumber, a sunflower, and a purple sprouting broccoli...use what you have...the results can be surprising. ❤

I love that you’re plants are ‘he’ and that you talk to yours too! Makes me feel less crazy 😊

Emma on fire : potty-training plastered pumpkins, pond-visiting vulpines and promising us potatoes in the future. Great stuff!

I've used micropore surgical tape on many plants before and it's kept them being a plant. I have some on my avocado tree right now, because a leaf got ripped off and left a hole 😬

Plots looking fab, s##t me right up when you spun the camera round 😂 potatoes look good I'd just have a root around and see how they're doing then you can leave them to grow on if they're too small fab vlog Emma 🥰

Hi Emma, I haven’t used plasters, but have used masking tape which worked a treat.

Some wildlife centres will provide a limited amount of medication to put in food and water you can put down for wildlife with problems ... mange being one of them. Depends how involved you want to get really

I'll look into that as we get foxes on our allotment! ❤️

I did Google this, Sometimes even single-headed sunflowers can grow multiple heads as an adaptation response to injury, environmental conditions, nutrients, and other factors.😉

Hiya Emma Thankyou plot is looking fab. Aww poor fox looks unwell. Your helping by providing a water feature for a wee drink. I think I recall you planting out the sunflowers in an earlier visit and they were different varieties? Anywhoo they will be lovely. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

Always snip the flowers off potatoes so the plant focuses all its energy on the potatoes. You’ll get a much better harvest. Mine are delicious this year. Who would have thought searching through compost for your potatoes would be so satisfying. 🥔 ❤ 😊 ( Poor Mr Fox. I hope his mange gets better. I hope some kind soul helps him). 🦊

There is a way to pull the string on those bags so that it just unweaves itself and comes away without tearing the bag. I managed to do it once on a large bag of potatoes, should have noted how I did it because I've never managed to duplicate the method. Edit; did a search and there are a few vids on KZread under "how to open an Asian rice bag" which show how to open woven string sealed bags without tearing.

That brassica damage is more likely rocky than the netting

Hi Emma I think you will find that's fox damage they love to jump on net and that then squashes whatever is under the net we've had the same and caught it on camera

So true 👍

I snapped a tomato plant’s stem almost completely off and all I could think of to do was sellotape it back up and then sellotape it to a bamboo cane to support it. Amazingly it is still alive and now forming tomatoes. I have added extra supports to help carry the weight of the tomatoes just in case they get too heavy. If it works then who cares! 😆

Great video! It’s nice to see wildlife is in your farm your urban farm lol love it. I hope you saw my comment a couple weeks ago with your tomato plants in your little poly tunnel. You can probably culture and plant companion plants! And I don’t know if I told you about the Native American Indians do the three sisters planting which is curcurbita so I was told they scoop a hole throw a fish in the plant, pumpkin, the corn, and the beans so the corn goes tall the beans use it like a trellis and the pumpkin shades the garden keeps the soil moist and keeps the weeds away. You can add another sister by putting a pollinator.

Thank you Emma x

I am so glad I found your channel. Your visitor was a surprise! He was bold, until he wasn’t. Birds got at my sunflower sprouts in my own garden, and your cornflowers have me deciding to sow my own cornflower seeds in that empty space. I have sunflowers sprouting in more or less that whole row but I’m going to inject some chaos there with some blue and dark purple cornflowers!

Foxes are fine and they like to eat slugs and snails. I have a family of foxes at our plot, gorgeous.

Emma I've never used a plaster but I've used sellotape and that's worked too. I use Slugless since you recommended it and it really works. By the way that fox looks like it has mange. Poor thing!

Great idea with the plaster it worked on the tomato so why not the pumpkinxx

Another fantastic video !!! Using a band aid on a plant is a first for me thanks for the tip and once again thank for sharing your amazing garden 🪴

Hello Emma, super fun video today I loved the snappy decision bit! I looked at the insecto netting but alas they do not ship to the US. I also liked the plaster bit I have not seen Anyone do that before! When you think about it this is much like a grafting. I have seen folks make the cut like grafting and re connect them wrapped and they will grow. The accidental gardener was hilarious as well..Thank you for the fantastic video today have a great week Cya next time

Thank you

Hi emma,great vlog 😁, I have always used plasters on my broken plants but now I'm using a proper plant tape that's great and mainly used when grafting one plant to another ,I hope this helps x

Your little red fox has mange and possibly the reason your allotment adopted cat is no longer around. The fox not the mange and definitely not rabies!. We have great weather, it maybe short lived but its wonderful for our allotments. Your dry soil could do with some 'compost tea' but first you need to get a sample under the microscope to check what is thriving down there but most importantly, what's not. The healthier the compost the better the tea!. Keep whacking things in though.

We have used the plaster technique on our cucumber plants previously and worked a treat, top tip.😊

I love your California poppy 😊

Very fertile plants, thank you for sharing information about agriculture

Thank you Emma we all have plants that won't do as they're told lol but the allotment is looking good 😊

Hi Emma love the plaster 🩹 lv Irene 😘 xx

I was thinking when you put those brassicas in that you might have too many, but it's a good job you did! Poor fox didn't look well at all, maybe he's been staying at your plot while youve not been there. He looked as surprised to see you as you were to see him!

Did you sow your sunflower yourself? Well done!!!

I broke my cucumber once and put a plaster on it, last around 2 weeks, result

Courgettes have a habit of pushing things out of the way, so think you chose well to leave the full bed with sweetcorn alone and out the courgettes elsewhere.

The string is kinda weeved in on those bags you have to unlock one side then pull firmly no tearing required

I like the green, it really suits you!

Another great video very informative

Put tape on it. A plaster is good for now

Mins being so big you will need to support them if you grow them high

Hi hopefully you will get a big return from your potatoes good luck

The way to undo a sewn bag is to snip the first stitch and pick out the middle of the next stitch and pull it.

I can never remember which of the individual strands to pull to open these types of bags, so it's a bit hit and miss - but it's strangely satisfying when you pull on the correct one and the whole thing just kind of 'unzips' :)

The plants I've killed Emma pulling bind weed. I've even tried selective weed killer but I still can't get rid of it

Miss emma,that fox is sick.

imagine being eaten by a slug tho , arghhhhh nightmare lol

Bejesus is the word…well at least here in Ireland 🤣😂💚🍀

Emma, I think your fox was suffering from mange unfortunately 😥

You put the dead leaves on the path they will eat them and leave your plants alone.

Why is all your plants a him not even one her ?

Be careful with foxes like that, sometimes when animals (that usually come out at night) are around during the day and are less scared of people it’s a sign of rabies. Also, it was heading straight for water, which is a symptom of rabies in animals. It’s probably not, but it pays to be cautious. 👍🏻
