    Such a lovely update jessie. Its staggering to see how early you start things. I think I'm far too Conservative with my sowing times! Need to take a leaf out of your book and start taking some risks!

    I agree with you, Jessie...the frosts are unbelievable, and we've had a few days of dense fog too, so even if well wrapped up and able to get in the garden...you're either slip-sliding around, or finding yourself lost (if that's even a thing), and discovering you're in next doors garden🤣😂

    So jealous of the plant stores you have in England! I'm always blown away by your tours. You'd never see anywhere near the selection of the potatoes (or garlic, or onions) for sale in person in the US unless it was at a really posh store with massively steep prices.

    I sympathize with your lament about bitterly cold but beautifully sunny days ... so much warmer when there actually is snow cloud overcast ☁️ ( but we STILL can't do anything with frozen, snow-covered ground, drat!). Oh, I do envy your seed shops and selections ... 🥔 more shopping trips, lol!! Also used to have Strongbow cider ale with blackberry juice - YUM! So until the next vid, cheers to you and Mum 🍻😊

    Hello Jessie - you've got some real heritage varieties of potatoes - British Queen from 1894 and Kerrs Pink from 1907, both have real nice flavour. If you do you own home made chips, use some Kerrs Pink for that task, but they also make really nice roasties, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. If you find any Arron Victory potatoes from 1918, try a few tubers, beautiful purple skin and pure white flesh.

    I am better now more or less and could do some stuff at plot but we on another big freeze and so nothing to do we have lost so many of our brassicas but that’s plot life. I have sowed my onion seeds some leeks peas aubergines chillies and sweet peppers. So that’s it for about a month. Not doing cu’s yet they get too leggy and I don’t have room to keep them in house as will have lots of toms eventually and other seedlings. But I can’t wait to get going

    This year I’ve seem to have lost all motivation for the garden, lots of stuff I haven’t done and have no desire to do it. I’m hoping I find some motivation. The garden centre near the beginning had a fantastic selection (a little overwhelming) and putting any spare bulbs into a pot is a great way to use them up. You can bring them inside or fill gaps.

    What a weird winter! London is looking more like Boston, and here in Boston we’re looking more like London this winter… I haven’t seen a whiff of any snowdrops or daffs yet here so I’m very jealous. All we’ve got is a few of the most stubborn hellebores, and the snowiest time of the year here, late Jan and Feb still hold plenty in store for us. Watch out for that ice!

I haven't visited my plot for quite a while due to the fact that it's covered in a thick layer of snow and frozen solid! My choice of potatoes for this year are good old Charlotte and Nichola plus Pink Fur Apple which I've wanted to try for some time. Fab vlog as always 👍 even when you think there's not much happening.

Girlies will not be amused about their extended lockdown, they will withhold egg production when you break the news 🪺🥚🐓❌❌👎…..No cucumbers as yet…not up to growing from seed yet…will get plants later, hopefully ( no greenhouse/cold frame/ heated thingys…yet either)…so ‘cheating is allowed, I guess?….You got me into this again Jessie!…so gradual process 😃👌….Busy Bees…you and Mom again, leaf gathering, manure fetching, potting stuff on , bulb planting and Mom fighting with gooseberries and blackberries…and loosing!!!…Must have look to see if my patch of primroses, in my lawn, are appearing yet( courtesy of the local ‘birdies’….cos I didn’t plant them !!… thank you birds, I love them❤️❤️💚Finally, must ask you about when you might think about giving your poor lady scarecrow a bit of a makeover???…something tasteful perhaps, look like a proper ‘bag lady’ at present !!!…just asking!!!….Cheers…with some Chardonnay 🥂🥂…I like it,anyway 😄🥂….See you next week, in kinder weather conditions 🙏🙏🙏….Sue( in freezing fog and icy Birmingham 😱🥶)

I followed your recommendation and put a couple of Socrates in earlier in the month. They are on the windowsill in a small heated propagator and both are up and not gone leggy, yet!!. Like you, I am in the South East, so waiting for the temps to rise before I pot them on and put them in our unheated conservatory :-)
