- This week on the allotment we are starting off the French beans. Cobra (green) and Violetto (purple). Plus some 50cm long ones called Bruno!
We are making progress with the new Dahlia bed and 3 more dahlias go in: Chat Noir x2 in honour of Anekin and Halley, Bishop of Dover and Solze von Berlin.
Its still asparagus picking time, the white sprouting broccoli is coming thick and fast and the Chard is starting to bolt.

Well well well. Looks like I am going to settle into my armchair and relax to 52 minutes of piano and peaceful allotment adventures with Lil cat, the girly chickens and the two lady humans. Lovely Tuesday afternoon.
Ahhhh, TuesdayJessday is here again. That's an hour of this evening sorted😊
I grow okra (‘oak-ra’) every year in the southern US. It’s a tall, ornamental looking plant with large blooms. Keep the okra picked around finger length. It gets woody if you let it get too long, and it can be a heavy producer in my climate. It can be added to soups, gumbo, and dishes like that are good, but it really shines when fried or roasted… either rounds of sliced battered okra fried in oil… or made into okra “fries” by cutting in half lengthwise, tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper, then roasted in a hot oven. Serve with an aioli type dipping sauce. We also freeze bagfuls of battered okra rounds. They make a nice side dish to fish.
I was waiting for a Mr Rattius rat to pop his head out of the hole ! I think we have nearly solved the rat issue at our plot with help from the council pest control man. Happy growing. X
Lay 1/4 " wire mesh down on the floor and up the sides at least 4-6" and it will be rat proof. Nows the time!
The reddish spider with the long abdomen is a Woodlouse Spider
Chicken coops with the dropped feed are huge mice and rat magnets.

Lordy I need to put my glasses on more I read the title as Its been snowing at the allotment, I thought crikey if its snowing down south there I stand no chance here in the Midlands 😂
What no one is saying about okra is that it requires hot weather and plenty of sunshine. It produces really fast once the temperature gets hot so check it EVERY day or you will miss harvesting them at the right time.
This is my favorite video to watch every week. I'm in the US and I typically watch you after my lunch break on Tuesday while I'm working. Okra in the US is often sliced into circles and egg wash dipped, dipped in cornmeal and deep fried, it's also used as a pickle sometimes. These are both more of a southern US application (I'm in Chicago), but thought it might be helpful in avoiding the slimy sensation.
I've been watching since the first episode. You are always a pleasant start to the morning. Keep the vids coming.
Okra in the Midwest grows like crazy. You want to pick frequently and at a small size. The bigger they get they are very woody! Snot aside many people love them deep fried.
a lovely video jessie
Your perfect just the way you are. We all love you and thanks for your channel ❤
Hi Jessie and your Mum, your chickens are just gorgeous & Lil too ❤ the weather has been so cold but, it's warmed up here in the Northwest, very windy but, 18C & now 10C overnight. So, I have planted my tomatoes In their final position in the polytunnel. Lovely video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Omg I did a real spit take. Dust Buster 😂
I've missed this one ( thanks you tube admin) it didn't come up on the notification list still interesting and relevant
Baby to the vet - hope she got a treat afterwards for being a good girl. 😊 I’ve popped so many herbs around the gardens that my husband questions why I need containers too, but you can never have enough! 😂 Oregano, catnip, mint, fever few - lots of bullies but they come back every year making less work for me.
