I just realised that I have subscribed to more than 100 KZread channels, and I keep clicking on yours first. You always make me smile. Thank you!!!❤😂😊

Companion planting by Grtrude Franck is a great start, you have recipes for natural fertilizer as well, is really complex but in regards to weeds, best method, if rows are not possible, is hay on the parcel in January. Earth worms will do the job under, no need to dig anymore, only to put the seeds in and let it the spot catch sun, then cover base again with the hay. So less work, healthier soil and barely any watering

When you said strawberries and onions are friends I imagined them walking down the road hand in hand 😂😊

Emmarism....absolutely turning my sad life into a happy one again. I wish I had your personality and outlook on life. Look at me walking backwards like a TV presenter 😂😂😂 You love to talk a lot about chitting....I am splitting my sides with laughter. You bring sunshine to so many people. Your friends and family are so lucky to have you in their life's. I treat all my potatoes equally. 🥔 potatoes 🥔 You give me a reason to be optimistic about my future and I get so excited to want to see the next episode. You get more talk time than any other show on TV in my conversations with friends and colleagues. Thank you, Emma. Keep whacking them in ❤

Onions or garlic are good companions for carrot as well to keep away carrot fly. I also hear that they are good around squash to keep away bugs, haven't tried this yet but plan on trying garlic/onions and radish around my squashes this year because squash and cucumber bugs are bad here in Ontario Canada where I live. I love that you experiment, I find joy in it as well.

Emma your bunting inspired me to make some of my own from scraps of fabric I had at home! I’m giving it to our local Community greenhouses for when they have special events. Thanks for the inspiration!

You really do brighten my days and give me motivation to do more myself xx

Thank you. Such a lovely surprise to have another video.

Leave the sweet peas but plant some new one on a different part of the plot as a back

Emma why not write in your allotment diary what plants like each other you can then look before you plant and you get it right every time you have done so well with your plot there is just one thing missing rocky is there any news? I think you will have a great season with all your vegetables and just think of all the people you have in courage to take up gardening keep the blogs coming they are great to view thank you❤

Yes, we always have use for potatoes. Plus it's super easy to store 😊

@@emmasallotmentdiaries haha I get that filming zone stuff. I usually find myself catching them on the edits and then I have to put some text in to make fun of myself. I once said our cannabis plant was “feminized so we topped him” and didn’t even think about the implications!! 😂😂 I love your humor and you’re becoming such a better gardener. Glad to see you gaining success. Hope to be like you when I grow up (I’m older than you haha) ♥️

Potatoes are great emma ,allways handy , U never go hungry if u have potatoes ,

The weeds might be ok if they're contained, they might even be good for the wildlife. All that will eventually turn into compost anyway.

So enjoy your video's. We have a wet day here in the Southern hemisphere, so am inside, spent yesterday bagging leaves up and puting tree mulch down.

onions and carrots are great as well :) keeps away carrot flies

Emma your logic with stress & flowers may be right. I keep my chilli peppers in smaller pots & they explode with fruit I’m in uk too so conditions are never consistent Great advice 🤩

loving your vids . Wack it in r kid x

I try to grow onions with beans, marigolds and basil with tomatoes. And I plant nettles and comfrey around my fruit trees. No idea if it helps but it fills the spaces up. Anybody know if sweet potatoes have a companion plant?

"I'm not a TV presenter " No Emma, you're better than a boring old TV presenter and ten times funnier. Did you find Einstein's nest yet, or is he a bachelor ?

Do you have adhd emma? I have often thought you have some traits, absolutely no offence meant by that, my son has been diagnosed as an adult, I love his quirkiness, he gets frustrated with his ways but I think it makes him the wonderful human he is with his quirkiness, just like yourself xxx
