WHAT IS HAPPENING?! / EMMA'S ALLOTMENT DIARIES

Hello everyone, welcome back to my allotment diaries, my name is Emma, love for you to subscribe to my channel because I put up allotment diary updates, we're getting into spring now and it would be a great time to just follow me along and see that if I can do it you can probably do it too because I am far from an expert. Right, sorry for the sporadicness of my vlogs at the moment, it's just because I'm just so overwhelmed with homeschooling and everything it's just driving me crazy so I'm not getting down here that much at the moment which is a shame because I really want to be down here all the time, the weather's really nice tonight, today, so I brought Tommy down, it's the afternoon and I thought we would just do, I'm just going to build those raised beds at the back of the plot so I thought I'd just do a little vlog about it. I'm getting increasingly concerned about my sweet peas because they look more and more like they are dead, someone said I'm always negative but, I mean look at that, look at that, how can I not be negative about that? Someone said that they're starving and that they need more food, they've definitely got enough water so maybe I should re-pot them, yeah just four of them I'm going to re-pot, I'm going to use some of my compost that I put in my bed, I'm not going to open my new one just yet, I'm just going to re-pot them and hopefully that will just regenerate them a little bit, like Doctor Who, I don't bloody know. Look at that, he's had enough hasn't he, he's really had enough, isn't that all of him, isn't that all you eh? Is that your garlic bread? Garlic bread? No, these are my sweet peas, they've just sort of had enough so I'm going to re-pot them and hope it regenerates them. Where's the garlic bread? Garlic bread, it's garlic Tom, you can make it into garlic bread, they just look like bloody things. Someone told me to stop being so negative but they're all going to die, how can I not be negative about that? I re-potted them into the same size pots in the hope that it just gives them some more energy or something, I don't know, it just sort of brings them back to life magically but they don't, they just don't look bloody happy do they and I can't plant them out yet because it's not bloody time. Oh mates, come on. Right, I've done all I can do for them now, I've re-potted them, they've got new compost so hopefully new nutrients and stuff, someone said they might be hungry and I've given them rainwater, loads of rainwater, so it's up to them now. It's all on them, they might live, they might not, we don't know, we're just going to have to wait and see. Right, I'm going to go and build Marie's beds now, very simply, not much explanatory so I'll just, you know, just do it really. I just want to get it done. I don't know about you but I think I'm getting better at sawing, I think it's just confidence, I just feel more confident now and I'm just going faster and stuff, I think that's the key, is to go faster. Let's see if I've got any better at hammering. Hammer this bit into here, oh shoot, I don't know how to make it stay up. Stay there and we'll whack you in. I don't think this is going to do bleeding anything at all but I'm going to keep going because there's builders up there watching me and I'm just going to act like I know what I'm doing. Nothing much. This one didn't work very well but I'm hoping that I'll just sort of get around it and no one will notice. Flipping heck. Right, okay, that is what it is. What it is. What it is is crap. Right, let's just stick this nail in if I can. I don't know how to do these ones because these ones are the hardest because you've got to hold it all together and nail it. I can't do that, I don't understand it. Right. It's really stressing me out because the builders are literally behind me, I don't know if they're going to show on camera now but I just feel like they're just watching me and I'm just so rubbish at this sort of stuff. For God's sake. It's all wonky anyway, look what I've done. I'll show you in a minute. It's bloody awful. Right, I've just got to whack this last bit into this thing here. Come on. Come on, just get in. Oh God, it's not going to go in this one. Oh God, I can't get it in, I can't get it in, I can't get it in. I can't get it in. It's bleeding in. Get in. Right, it sort of looks like this. All different bloody angles sticking off the ground and those nails are not in, they're just like half in. But me standing in the plot saying I can't get it in, I can't get it in is probably making the situation much worse for myself, like embarrassment wise. So I'm just going to pretend that I've succeeded but I've not and it is going to fall apart because it's just like, it's not even, it's not even a thing. So I know you probably think that I'm quite confident here because I do these vlogs and stuff all the time. But when I'm like, like I'm doing stuff that I don't know how to do and people, I know people are watching, I just get so embarrassed. Like my cheeks are just going bright red because I can't get the bloody nails in and then I panic and then it all just starts falling apart. So, it's so embarrassing when you don't know how to bloody do stuff. I mean from here, it looks fantastic. It looks like I've done a raised bed so probably the builders, what they can see, it looks like it's done. So, I've sort of saved face. But look, it looks done, doesn't it? Down there. Well done Tom. I don't know what he's digging now. But yeah, it looks done. So at least the builders saw a raised bed become a raised bed. So that's a good thing, isn't it? This one needs sorting out now. I'm not even going to try. I haven't been here at this time for a long time. It's sort of like sunset now. It's really beautiful. It's really busy actually. There's quite a lot of people here which is quite a good thing because, you know, we want there to be lots of people on allotment plots to keep them going. But the way the sun hits this, it actually looks like I know what I'm doing. I say that sometimes but I mean it. It just looks beautiful today. Also, somebody told me that this little hole in my saw was for hanging it up. So that's what I've done now. So I hope that makes you happy. People always give me little tips and stuff. I think I annoy them most of the time when I get things wrong. I'm going to leave it here because it's getting busier and busier now which is beautiful. The birds are shining and I'm just going to enjoy some time with Tom and just wait for the daffodils to open really. So I'll see you next time guys. I hope you enjoyed this vlog and hopefully I'll have more to say next time. See you then. Bye.
