you might find this funny jessie , my nephew came in from checking his green house before school and told his mum there was a homeless snail in there ..... he ment a slug , truely cutest thing ever
hahahahah! love that
Slugs aren't cool. I try and throw them as far as I can.
Thank you Jessie, I sit in my conservatory, looking out at my raised veg beds with a glass of wine in my hand and enjoy every minute of your exploits, even sometimes as I meander round my own small piece of paradise in the sunshine I hear your piano music and wonder at the miracles around us, hope you have an outstanding year x
what a lovely picture that paints :D Cheers to you :)
Where I live, there are tons of farmers that plant corn. They heavily fertilize the ground before planting and they direct sow. I don't know if that will be of any help to you, but the corn is out of this world sweet and delish
So... fertilize as in cow manure? Seems to be the preference in places I see large acrege growing any kind of corn, and the farmers grow a LOT of very lovely sweet corn around where I live. And there are a lot of cows in the fields around here as well. So yes, freshly rotted cow manure seems to work.
There's a problem with using heavy fertilizer on land, it ties up a lot of the microbiology and can actually deplete the soils.
That happened to the cotton farms, nitrogen runoff killed fish, and left the land useless.
Regenerative agriculture is a growing practice for this very reason.
Yeah, it’s nitrogen they are using. Corn uses a lot of nitrogen. Best to grow green beans beside the corn. Beans provide nitrogen, corn gives the beans something to grow up.
Loving the fruit cage set up
The Rhubarb Cake is Episode 53. Can't wait to make it!
thanks Joan!
Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
Merci pour ce partage 😊
À bientôt
:D
The best years I’ve had sweetcorn were when I’ve absolutely packed the bed with manure and chicken pellets lol I’m sure I nearly grew a few inches with my hands in that 😂 I started mine off a month ago on damp paper towels in a sealed sandwich bag on the heated propagator this year as germination was bloody aweful. I think it’s a veg that likes a lot of affection early on. That said there’s barely a year I can harvest it before the badgers and anything else that seam to obliterate it when near ripe for the picking. It’s a battle I won’t lose this year. Fingers crossed hahah
hahahahah, nice. maybe my soils has been a bit poor the last few years! I'll try spoiling it a bit :D
Hi Jessie ,lovely video nice to hear some guitar music instead of that old piano 😀 new mic seems fine x
hahahah, thanks
Hi Jessie and your Mum, the weather has been so hot good job planting spring onions. I have been so hotunable to germinate a single sweetcorn this year, the first time ever! So, I had to take a trip to the garden centre to buy plug plants 🙄 it is a great feeling when you actually finish a to-do list! Great video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Good old back-up plug plants :D :D
Another fab video Jessie ❤ Well done on completing everything on your blackboard list 👋👋👋what a great idea, I should do something like that with a bigger blackboard like yours. 👍I do have a little blackboard that I started to use earlier on in the year or was it last year 🙈 maybe I should start doing it again so I keep on track 😊 😂
Love your channel and always look forward to it coming out on Tuesdays. Halley is super cute, love black and black and white cats, have a black and white little female myself.
:D thank you
Your gate and the garden is looking beautiful. Have a good week.
Thank you anna :)
Hi Jess, I’m having a go at sweetcorn this year too, having foregone it for a few years due to muntjac, rabbits, rats and badgers etc..getting to it first. A piranha and crocodile infested moat comes to mind to try and stop them 😊. Btw love your choice of music, especially the piano piece at your blackboard triumph bit. You can’t beat a good arpeggio!
Yay! Tuesday. Also before I got my minestra nera seeds (ebay if anyone wants to know!) I did some research and spigarello is a less curled variant of minestra nera but used in the same way. Still curly but less so! The pic on the Sarah Raven site of spigarello looks quite curly to me. Who knows what I've actually got growing but I'm sure that it will be delicious either way 😋 xxx
Seems to be all very confusing this minestra/spigarello situation :D From what i've read, i'm on the same page as you. Spig is similar but less corkscrew!
I sow Sweet Candle every year & they never fail. Lovely sweet carrot 🥕 Follow them with Autumn King, bit more robust for through Autumn & Winter. Hope you get great germination :)
Oh thats fab, always a gamble going for a new variety!
❤ Haley!!! 😂 Sorry no Lily, but understandable if she’s off hunting as wildlife think they own the gardens. We’re officially passed frost here and it’s GO TIME! I’m so excited to pop sunflower seeds into various places as surprise blooms.
:D Gooooooo!
Hi Jessie, watched a new kind of vlog this morning, a commercial tom grower is trialing a new way of growing toms, you leave the first sucker on the plant and then grow on as a second plant, so you will need two strings per plant. Something i trialed last year was to take a 1 foot long cane and tie your string to that, at the end of the season you just wrap up your string/cane and secure it to the overhead wire and fix with a clothes peg my jute string will never wear out, it might be worth while talking on potty mouth
Bit disappointed that you have not replied to me Jessie, dont worry though, i wont bother you again
I love black nebula carrots. They are really hardy and have survived hot and dry where other carrot varieties have died. They are also so juicy and very purple. They will colour your tongue.
Oh fantastic, i'm really looking forward to them :)
Thought I'd try out some of those Franchi seeds, a couple of varieties of courgettes and some herbs.
Never been very successful with Basil, but will see how their "napoletano" works out 😂.
Glass of red wine 🍷 to finish 😁.
Excellent! I really rate his seed, and such a nice bloke. Cheers!
You'll love the lettuce leaf basil ... it's got an amazing scent and strength even though the leaves are so big! Slightly more sweet and almost clove like than the regular basil.
Also ... if you get it from RealSeeds there are tons of seeds in a packet ... not 20!!! Pah!
Hahhahaha, year, was a bit stingy!
Hi Jessie
We have been doing our own compost test and thought you would be interested in the results. The peat free, and many tried, in varying degrees either looked like Shoddy or had twigs of varying sizes in them etc ., So we went for 100 litre Clover 100% peat. Brilliant. My first vegetable seeds took off after two previous failed or miserable attempts with the peat free ones. So, as much as I hate doing this, we have purchased several bags of clover.
Lovely programme this week as always.
Jasmine
Hi Jessie.
Love your vlogs.
You planted basil on your last vlog.
I am in Spain. Andalucía. Basil tends to Bolt or shrivel in the heat. Here, I grow Albahaca.
Have you heard of it,Or tried it.
It's like a strong basil flavour slightly aniseed.
Love to send you some seeds.
Oh, no, i've never heard of Albahaca! I will go and look it up :D
Miss Halley is too sweet scampering around in the garden 🥰. I have the same luck with dill but trying yet another location this year. 🥂
We keep trying :D
Great work
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
:)
U been busy bee again, plot coming along really nicely now.
:) thanks. Its a great time of year
I have that same colour aquilegia so pretty
lovely isn't it :D so pale!
Ive grown the small purple basil before, its delish, but the curly leaf not as yet, i watched a guy the other week who had grown it, as far as leaf size goes think more little gem as a guide
Nice, thank you!
Hi Jessie, I can't see the link to the rhubarb cake. Could you let me know where to find it please
Its in now Jean!
@@JessieatPlot37 thanks Jessie. Xx
Dill need scattering in the place you want them to grow. Some are low growing and some grow tall ( to be used in marinades )
I have tried every which way hahaha!
Isn't it just the best time of the year... Marestail aside 🤨.
Gorgeous (except the marestail hahaha)
Anther fab video Jessie. I started watching earlier today but you were so inspirational with your blinking list I ditched watching and went to my allotment to put my tomatoes in. (First year using string)😊. Anyway I’m back now this evening watching and I’m wandering…🤔🤔🤔 what’s in the boxes int he shed????
Thanks Lynne :D And yay for the tomatoes! :D
the boxes are for the polytunnel :D
@@JessieatPlot37 ooh can’t wait for Tuesday’s episode remembering Tony’s timeline for completion… so much pressure so little time.
Badgers yes, i had an issue last week, 2 mornings in a row my beds were ruined, lost so much veg, anyway, it wasnt badgers it was wild boar, but i treated for both, male urine deters badgers , and washing powder around but not on the beds plus black pepper deters wild boar, just in case you get the odd herd or two in leafy Richmond 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahahahahaha! I'll look out for them :D
Fantastisch Good work Jessie zaailingen te planting Top thans te video groenten ✔️🌱🧢🌞🧤☘️🏵️🍹🥝🥕
Any chance of a copy of your Chard lasagna recipe , also any tips on what to do with garlic chives - thanks
Its here Sean - plot37.com/chard-lasagna-a-thing-of-great-beauty/
And garlic chives... i basically use them like normal chives, it garlic bread or stirred trough hot buttered potatoes.
@@JessieatPlot37 I’ll try that garlic chives with hot buttered tatties , sounds yummy
@@JessieatPlot37 thank you so much, I’ll be having a go at this, otherwise I use chard like spinach
lovely video jessie
Thank you :D
Hi there, whereabouts is the link for the rhubarb cake? 🤤
Rhubarb cake is here - ua-cam.com/video/ppx3b8SKbfw/v-deo.html timestamp around the 20min mark.
hi I wonder if the black floor is making your glasshouse hold heat
Where’s the rhubarb cake recipe? I would love to make it with my rhubarb.
Hi another lovely person directed me to vlog 53 xxx
Yeah, Vlog 53 ua-cam.com/video/ppx3b8SKbfw/v-deo.html Timestamp around the 20min mark
25c is newfie boiling point. But we'd still have 75%+ humidity at that temperature.
Very humid!
It triggers me that you put the seeds back in the packet after you've put them in your hand hahaha! I just had to get that off my chest. Love your videos :)
hahahaha, not keen on that?
Where have you managed to get seeds for the minestra as I can’t find any xx
Its not easy, i'm trying to find some available in the UK
Where would I get minestra seeds Jessie, it looks such a Lovley plant I wouldn't care if the broccoli didn't appear😂... I bought the spigarelo but it doesn't want to germinate 😂
Oh i am trying to find some available in the UK!
Have I missed the link to the root trainers again? Lovely video☺️

I Love You , My Jessie Babe.
I planted a kiwi about four years ago. It grows brilliantly lunch foliage many flowers and for the first two years lots of baby kiwis.
which I have to admit are 🤢 so bitter full of seeds and hardly any flesh. They were only the size of marbles so really not good for anything at all.
I have to admit the bush looks good against my fence but otherwise useless.
Hope yours is the normal size fruit which I might try next year.
Oh thats pants Julie!
I guess you know Jessie that kiwi fruit need both a male and female plant !! From a Kiwi
Jess said it doesn't need 2
I mentioned that Jenny is self-fertile, meaning no, it doesn't need another plant.
Why are your blueberries at home? Just wondering if there's a specific reason as I just got a couple of blueberry bushes and am planning on putting them on the plot (in containers).
I thought the new cheap mic was fine.
Ah, no real reason other than i only had a roof terrace where i used to live so they are in big pots so just plonked them in the garden here rather than install the up at the allotment :)
What is the name of the white flower on your right hand side of the bed you sowed the carrots in.
Its an aquilegia :)
Missed little Lily too this week. As for the spigarello and your Minestra Nera Jessie they are I believe one and the same. I have seen many articles about them online. I can send you what I have found if you’re interested. They do look slightly different on the pack I will agree but from everything I can come across they appear to be the same. I have also seen they sold as “salad broccoli” I have both types so I guess I’ll know soon enough 🤣🤣 if the slugs don’t beat me to it that is 😒 super weather here too last week and weekend! Like November today 🤪
Hello, yeah, its getting complicated isn't it :D So i've spoken to an italian seed wholesaler (was trying to see if i could get a bulk order of seed to send out to people hahaha) and he said Spigarello is different although similar. With a less curled leaf and a thicker sprout. Also in the Kale company they list is as different: molyneuxkale.com/othervegetables/
Hope the slugs bugger off long enoufgh for us to find out hahah!
When will you be doing your polly tunnel Jessie, it’s already mid May?
I know Wendy! I'm on it! I swear
I have grown Incredable sweetcorn and it's really sweet. My sweetcorn this year is ready to go out, it's about a foot tall now, but it's bloody raining again!. I am getting the onions out now, I am hedging my bets this year after the total fail last year.Some are going in the ground where I have never grown them before, some are in window boxes that I bought from Lidl's, these are really nice quality with a water tank underneath a platform and they have a filling spout with a float guage built in, and some will go in these flexible 30 litre garden tubs also from Lidl.I am not being sponsord by Lidl, however? I just like some of their stuff. My spuds are in 30 or 40 litre tubs, Lidl and Aldi, sounds like an advert now, everything else will go in the no dig beds. Oh Peas are in the pea cage, hurst green shaft, telephone and American dwarf, in err tubs from errr well you know. Oh oh I bought a couple of those root trainers that you put the link for, they are really good, I hope you get some comission from the company. Done now.
Fab, you have loads on the go!
Thanks for another great video ❤
Thanks :)
@@JessieatPlot37 I’m looking forward to Monday evening every week ❤️🤩
Would really appreciate any link to the Minestra Nero Jess.Would love to give it a try 🙂
Really struggling to find a link to the exact variety i have Susie. Its just not available.
@@JessieatPlot37 Thats what I found Jessie ,spent ages searching .Best pack someone off abroad to smuggle us a few packets 😄
Rhubarb cake is on vlog 53 folks xxxx
thanks Eleanor!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What mic is that please so we know not to buy it?! Hehe. It sounded ok but yeah rocking connection sounds like it was made for android and not ios. I wonder if a small rubber washer might help? Hubby has a vape and i think they have small washers.
That fruit cage is coming along nicely. Anything else you might want to plant in there? It is going to be great come harvesting times.
Weather has been very gorgeous hasn't it!? My older sister picked a great time to come here for a surprise birthday visit from the Netherlands with her young adult kids. Not seen my Nephew since Aug 2019 when he was still a teen, so that was lovely! She got me some lovely big butterfly solar lights. Hubby got me a much needed compost thermometer and a larger bee and insect hotel. I also am getting some canning stuff for my birthday but i have to order it. My sister was staying in Kingston and went to this place called incognito? They had some interesting but expensive cocktails (£17 each i think). One was served in an old water diving helmet and you get to wear hats! lol
Our perpetual spinach and pak choi also bolted so have some replacement spinach and sowed some more directly. We also moved the crate so it is in a shady area now. Might move it back now the temps have settled down again for now.
Didn't know about the May fair in Richmond. Our new borough is crap compared to Wandsworth council in terms of keeping people informed of stuff. We do have a local voluntary group that produces a monthly guide magazine for £3/year. The council is so unorganised as there is a big church fair plus a big allotment fair on the same day. Singfest last Saturday was a great success and our child's choir club got to perform at the church and didn't get Nil Point!
Anyway, hope you are well and take care!
I'm off to churn my rhubarb ice cream before i add the crumble! 900g makes 2.5 ltrs of ice cream btw! No ice cream maker machine required!
its the actual device its self thats rattling, not the connection. No washer is going to help that! hahaha! I have a new one now. :)
Sounds like you had a great birthday :D And ooooooh, rhubarb ice cream is the best!!
@@JessieatPlot37 Ah ok glad you got a new one and hopefully you can get a refund on the rattlely one!
Thanks. Also just made some rhubarb, orange and ginger jam. It's lovely when the spring crops start producing isn't it!
Please, please turn down the music!!!
And other people say the music lvl is too low. It just depends on what you're playing it through.
You never fail to motivate me to get garden chores done 😊❤ 🍻
:D
It took my partner and I roughly two years, but we finally caught up. Having been able to watch a handful of episodes each week it is now an odd experience counting down the days until a new one comes around.
We have absolutely loved following along each week. Last year, we took on a small allotment ourselves. This year we're aiming for a variety of beans, a few potatoes and herbs, as well as looking forward to seeing if our strawberries have survived.
As we live quite far north, the snows have only just about melted.
Stay healthy, and a huge thank you for sharing these amazing videos!
hahahaah, wow! You've watched them all! :O
And how lovely to have a new allotment :D I wish you a load of luck :D
kudos on all the work you have done on that allotment over the years - looks lovely
:) thank you
:You did so well with all your garden projects on the to do list! The kitten is getting so big and she looks so happy out in the garden. I wish we would get some warm weather. Seems unseasonably cool and rainy
Thank you :) And yeah, she's growing so fast :D
You forgot to put on the wildcam video ( and i say this because i know what´s on it 😂😂😂)
Does loganberry taste better then tayberry ?
Lots of love from Belgium
hahahahaah!
When are you writing a cookbook to include all your allotment recipes? 😊
hahahah!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I love following your channel and learning many things from you both!🌺🌷🌼😍
thanks Audra!
Hello Jessie! When I get hot, I put my long hair in a ponytail, and then pull it out the "hole" of the baseball cap. Takes the hair off the neck and I feel cooler instantly. Also helps the cap stay put and looks really cute & sporty! Perfect for your youthful and happy personality
Hahhaha, i'll need a different cap for that! It works with my green one but the hole is too low on this one!
Link for rhubarb cake?? Can't find it?? Senior moment?
Desperate for the rhubarb cake link too! 😂
Me too🤣
I'm so sorry! the whole video description has disappeared! I'll re add it now.
Hi Jess, I love “Lime Basil”, as someone originally from Southeast Asia. We use this type of basil in most Indonesia & Malay dishes. I managed to grow them in my back garden last year and this year i am sowing tons of them and sprinkle them around the toms 😊😊
Oh lime basil sounds wonderful!
Hi Jessie, I’ve had a Jenny kiwi for 21yrs, covers my whole back fence now and grows like a triffid with lush greenery and beautiful flowers every year but, never had any fruit mature on the plant, tried male kiwis to help but no joy, to lush to chop down so beware, when it takes off you will have to keep on top of it.
Jess can I ask how you make your chard lasagne please.
I only grow this chard because of you 😂 it's a delicious chard but I only put it in a past bake as I'm not sure what else to do with it 😂😂
Maybe we could see you in your kitchen making this lasagna 😊
Greetings 🍷,
What brand of watch do you have? I like that it is not square or round.
Cheers,
Upstate NY
Great video. I think we both have the same yucky cold ❤
Sorry, but the sound is horrible, I'd prefer you not having a mic on above this one.
Jessie do you use chard in place of pasta sheets in your chard lasagna ? Great episode this week and loved the crochet 🥰🥰
Little miss fickle Lily. I had missed her this week. 😊
I missed her too ❤
Hahahha, i know. Someone obviously had a superior treat set up :D
Planted Alice's Dream and Sart Rolaise out yesterday. They are the best looking of the tomatoes I started this year. Lovely bluegreen leaves.
Fab, i've got very high hopes for the Sart Rolaise!
she sows seeds on the seashaw is now humming in my head hahaha , plot looks blumming fabulous hun always love your videos x
hahahah! :D And thank you :)
Love your allotment, there’s so much care and progress, and it’s so so green❤️❤️❤️
:D thanks Kay
Kids and phones lol in my day we had string and 2 tin cans
hahahahah!
Good luck with Jenny. I had it as well but 2 years ago the winter was too hard. You might be in a better hardiness zone than we're here in Berlin.
I hope so! I'm thinking i'm going to need to protect it if we have another crazy winter!
I love lettuce leaf basil and grow it every year, along with many other types. In California I can direct sow seeds, so I'm able to toss many types of basil seeds everywhere. But lettuce leaf is absolutely delicious. Especially when one can take only two flavorful leaves to cover wonderful sandwiches....tomato, cheese, Italian cured meats, goat cheese, grilled veggies. And the list goes on and on! I'm thinking you'll get hooked.
Okay... bring on the tomato and basil sandwiches :D
I grew purple ball last year and doing some this year too, it grew very well.
Fab! :)
Sometimes to help my sweetcorn on a little I snap off a tassle from the top and stroke the pollen all over the silks. Does it help? Maybe. I always seem to get excellent pollination though. I don't do it all the time, but I do routinely give them a little shake as I walk by them.
I've heard giving them a good shake definitely helps! I will give it a go this year.
Sweet Candle looks like a Napoli carrot. Do the slugs bother the red pac choi less than the green? The garden is looking beeeeautiful!
Sadly not Sylvie, still slug warz!
I have whacked my kale back to the nubs (leaving only a 2 inch stalk) and in a few weeks of looking naked it sprouts the tenderest small perfect leaves.
They are lovely those baby leaves aren't they :D I needed the bed clear though
I managed to get some minestra nera seed on eBay. I sowed them last week and they have just popped up today.
woo! hope they do as well for you as they did for me!
Well done with the job list,, when is the polytunnel going on the list? Didn't you say on pottymouth you wanted to get it finished by the end of May??
Hhahaha, yeah, Poly is on this weeks list!
Listening to you say 'Boy is it hot!' makes me wonder how the Victorians coped in their walled gardens on a sunny day. Would love to know if there was any tricks or tips they used
hahahahah, i think they just moaned less :D
Lovely video x
:)
I find those videos without mic so funny, the random noises that the phone is picking up are hilarious. ❤
hahahha!
Spigariello I grow has curly leaves
Yeah, its still curly just not the same curly :D
It’s not cheating 😊
:D

Everywhere looking very green and lush!
Great list ticking ✔
Could you do a walk and talk down the communal ath to your plot sometime? It would be lovely to see what's growing there....wild oats, elderberry, bramble etc and see what's edible too.
Yeah, i've thought about doing a bit of a wander around the whole site but i'm not sure if i would need to ask other plot holders permission
Okay…. Chard lasagne? Are you using it instead of pasta? I adore chard but am the only one so interesting recipes are great. 😊
hahahahha, no. The pasta stays, its the filling.
fel sorry for you about the noisy kids.
nah, they are fine
Been raining here in mid-MO, USA for several days now.
