- September has been a wonderful month in the vegetable garden after the poor August we had! The peppers and chilies are leaping into life (albeit too late). Very excited about the first grapes and Melons :D

Oh dear.... I had to explain to my wife why I was laughing.... I said Jesse's sniffing her melons.... I apologise... I was brought up on CarryOn films and British sitcoms😂
Wow such a good harvest. Your mom working around the garden then suddenly realized she’s being filmed on video, your mom is so sweet, she has such a great demeanor shows lots of care and patience with a soft voice, you both remind me of my mom and I in our garden when I was younger. We are still in the mid 80 degrees here in America in the state of Oklahoma, so ready for cooler weather. We don’t get slugs here our demise is the squash bugs, which in days can devour a squash plant ugh! It’s a never ending endeavor as a gardener for sure. Have a blessed day to you and your mom😊💜
Hi , I learnt last year that pepper plants are perennial, so I followed what I learned on UA-cam and I have had the best harvest ever, and I live in zone 4
I make the most lovely Cornish pasties with potatoes, squash, leftover meat and . . . SAGE!
Happiest mid-May 2024 greetings to you and your serene mother from Wisconsin, USA (zone 5).
Those snails look like chicken treats to me 😂
Kings seeds sell 9* broccoli
The sleek hair also looks lovely!! And what a wonderful harvest!
You can get mesh bags to protect your grapes in the future. They work great.
I love your videos so much! I miss your cooking segments very much! I’ve learned such good ideas from the few you have filmed, thank you. And I’m sorry about the caterpillars, slugs, and such - bastards all. But your garden is delicious! Lovely lovely lovely as always!
I miss the cooking videos too.
Same here.I know they still have floor issues. Bummer
@@delphine88313 yes, it's time the insurance company got their finger out. We need more cooking videos, 😁😅🤣
@@jeanhelliwell8160 👍
If there's grapes that are still bitter, you can make verjuice from them. It can be used as a substitute for lemon juice.
Us up north have struggled with peppers this year down to the coldest & wettest summer for 25 yrs
Hello lovely ladies ,as you have lots of sage , shall I send a suggestions? Well clean each petal with a dump cloth , then dip lightly in flour , and fry them up , most keep under control as it get burn quickly , sprinkle with salt et voilà could be enjoying instead of crisps or with fish it's a treat, love from 🇫🇷
I love to see your food harvest videos. You go girls! 😊
great video....nice to see Tony Smith looking so well
Something I've learned (from watching content creators here in the US struggle with bad composts deliveries) is to ALWAYS put a bean in your new batches of pretty much anything! It will quickly sprout and look good or it won't. My tiny backyard garden requires hardly any external inputs, but when I move next year, and start a larger homestead... I SURE HOPE I remember that little trick! It was bad. I saw plenty of people scraping out and dumping their soils. Of course others decided to amend it heavily and also put in cover crops and not grow for a whole year. Crazy. I believe they called it "Grayzon!?" Spelling?
Thanks for all you show me. I know we'd be the BEST of buds 😊 I feel as if I've known you for YEARS! creepy!? 😂
Grazeon, a weedkiller for pasture and hayfields. Stunts everything. Also beware of horse manure, that stuff survives digestion
@@CLFL14256 yep. Sure does!! Part of what contributes to getting bad soils and fertilizers is the massive increase in gardening and homesteading. Double edged sword I suppose 🩷 hard to keep up with the demand, so they're not letting things rest or cool long enough
I've just planted beans in 5 pots of different compost to test them out before adding to my garden. 2 types are much cheaper and 1of those looks really nice compost but I will not risk another year of deformed tomatoes and beans.
OMG ❤😊 YOUR EYES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL LOVE YOUR VIDEO 📹 💖 💗 💕
Great video as always sweet Jessie 🦋 I just love ❤️ how your mom & you enjoy working in the garden together 😘🤗 Great harvest!! 🦋🇺🇸
Wow such a good harvest.
I sowed Pak Choi for the first time ever. Had a fantastic crop in late June. Sown a few times since but no luck.
Lily is sooo chillaxed in the sunshine. She is such a star 🌟
Recently had some cherry toms, zero salad ones. Very disappointing. The cayenne plants that I over wintered have been terrific, absolutely covered
Love your videos, treat of the week, I got 9star seeds from Kings seeds and found them surprisingly easy to grow , the plants are now as tall as me🤞 for a good harvest next spring.
That's good to know - I've put them on my allotment order for next year 😊
Jess, get yourself a tennis racket for those snails. See how high and far you can launch them. You can work on your backhand, your forehand, your lob, and your kill shot.
Three weeks later one will turn up and say, "What did you do that for?!"
@@RichWoods23😂
I've enjoyed your channel for a long time. I love your relaxed manner as well as you and your mom. I realized I hadn't seen your channel for a bit (plus I got busy over the last while) so I went looking for you. Found your channel again and thought....I wonder if I've been unsubscribed. Well, indeed I had. So I've resubscribed and am looking forward to having your videos pop up again :)
Jessie, how about trying park Choi in hanging baskets then in the tunnel?
And in the shower do use backer board. It is more expensive than plaster board, but it does not absorb any water should the grout fail, it doesn’t buckle…but it is heavier.
those grapesamazing
I lost the nine star you gave me too during the cold winter and I’m so sad too. I love eating it too.. I managed to get hold of some seeds from Kings Seed, and I’m going to try again next spring. If only you can take cuttings from your main plant by chopping off the head to encourage side shoots
Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻
Une formidable vidéo bravo 😊
A bientôt
Hey Jess.. I believe lettuce seeds need light to germinate, and also prefer cooler temps... so maybe try a different location for those lettuce showings.. :)
Ask me how i know this!? (I recently killed masses of lettuce seed this way!)
Just need to say how much I enjoy your weekly vlog. Truly look forward to it This week has been so great. As I’ve already commented seeing Lil so chilled reminds me how calming it can be on an allotment. Thanks to you both for giving me inspiration to get back to my allotment as the season is never quite over ❤
Jessie, kings seeds have seeds for nine star. And I believe Pennards
fair play you always got things to do on your plot always good to watch too
the girls' excitement over their shaking-tin treat is just adorable! all the chickie exclamations! hope your Pak choy luck changes!! too tasty to miss out on! : D
I sowed a row of Mizuna and literally slugged to death.
Hi Jessie & your Mum, I'm starting to use coir just for sowing seeds as I'm worried about the peat free compost. I'm not sure what they are going to throw in this peat free stuff. It's raining here in Wirral now & it's going to get colder too. Those cauliflowers are amazing. I hope you find a supplier too. They grapes are gorgeous, yum! Lil looks so comfy bless her 😻 the peppers you have picked are looking really good and I hope you get more, too. My peppers are the same, took a while to get going but, are now providing at a slow pace but, still going. I'm glad your mum had a lovely Birthday. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Same for me with sweet peppers
Jessie, why not make a hanging shelf in your tunnel for your pak choi
Well, that's funny. I thought the exact same, you need to beat those besky beasties.
Brilliant idea @jeanhelliwell8160
I have been watching since I discovered your vlog on building your polytunnel. I can recommend a tomato variety that I have grown this year. Nagina, it's an outdoor plum, blight resistant, which it most certainly is (£1.25 from Just Seed). All my other outdoor varieties got blight and the tomatoes in my polytunnel also got blight. Yet today 5/10 I picked 12 all red and the size of hens eggs from 2 plants. It has been a very productive variety (grown in Cornwall).
Even seeing your spud harvest, I have spud envy. I swear I grew ghost potatoes this last summer. O well. I think it was the compost and the heat, but I’m relatively new to this sport, so…🤷♀️. Our peppers are just finishing too, a bit later than usual.
love the Spider web dance. 8:58
Cool grapes
Mmmmm, Minnesota Midget melons. I tried three dwarf melons this year and while you’re on melon watch my Minnesota Midget melon did the same thing. It wasn’t fully yellow but one day “plop” on to the ground. The scent is intoxicating and for the rest of the day the kitchen smelled delicious!😊❤
Jessie, Love ALL your videos and adventures, but don't remember so many commercial breaks. One every 5 minutes.
My sowing and potting table I have in poly over winter and into spring is outside along the side of poly and this is where I sow and grow on seedlings they have been a little bit nibbled by sparrows but otherwise ok so maybe keep them outside😮
Always do that sort of stuff late to prevent bolting when sown early. I stopped until I worked out the dates to sow and plant. Yeh king seeds good too.
I gave up on chillies this year Jessie. Terrible last year, so I decided to grow some Padron peppers because I love having them in Spain. They've been flowering non stop but still can't see any peppers!! My Arctic King didnt germinate either. Add them to the failure list 🤣🤣 Have had a few good crops though so not complaining. Enjoyed the vlog as always!
I would definitely lose a hand trying to pet Lilly's fluffy tummy. 🥰😼
I bought 9 star broccoli seeds from Kings seeds. sadly they mostly got eaten by something tho.
I've enjoyed this vlog as I've always enjoyed them all ❤ cheers sweet Jessie 🍻
I grew 2 blocks of 6 plants 2 years ago and the plants grew big and bushy and the flowers were pretty. I left them to dry on the plant the little pods and I got a large coffee jar full and they were as good if not better than dried chick peas you buy.
Hi Jess, love your Vlogs! Where do you get your green plastic pots from please? 😁
Re your seeds in the allotment greenhouse I wonder if you could construct a hanging shelf?
I've seen this on a couple of other You Tube sites and although these have been put up in polytunnels I would imagine that one could be made and used either as a temporary seed station or left up permanently in your greenhouse?
No doubt a determined slug or snail might make its way up the glass and onto the platform but it might keep the majority away.
To make it even trickier for these pests placing copper tape purchased online or from a garden centre around the shelf/pots or hanging supports could also be tried.
As for the caterpillars I know you need to keep the greenhouse door open for ventilation but could a butterfly door curtain be put up just inside the entrance using butterfly netting?
Constructed in a way not to hinder you or your Mum's entry and exit?
Perhaps using an old fashioned net curtain wire at the top?
I've always wanted to try growing grapes 🍇 hopefully next year 😋
Did mom get new shoes for her birthday 😂. Are you still making a cold frame with those lovely windows near the green shed? 😂😂😂 so not a recommendation for growing loads of chick peas next year. I’m so glad you liked the copper river I’ll send some new varieties if you like. Autumn is defo here it’s cold and wetter with the occasional warm sunny day. 17:58 what is that huge branch are the grapes 🍇 escaping to the bean arch 😅. 20:06 team work makes the grapes work 👍. I know I’m rambling 😂😂. I say that too one is better than none because you can save seed too 👍. Super update as always have a fantastic week ladies, Ali 🌧️🇨🇦
When I lived in Maine slugs were a problem. Being a Southerner, I had never dealt with them. But I discovered that little pots of beer solved my problems with the slimy buzzards. I used them wherever I was trying to get seedlings going. This has been poopooed many times but worked for me. We are back South and there are enough lizards to eat the little darlings that I needn’t be a slug bartender anymore. Just a thought. Cheers.
Woo hoo Christmas at Joanna's and maybe a winter tour of her garden.
Next year I'm trying chick peas now that Jessie's done the guinea-pig stage .
So happy about your grapes, do you remember what variety they are?
Love love your vids. Greetings from Canada
😂funny to see sage overtaking oregano 😂mine are far apart but both fabulous growth to make everything smell lovely! I planted bok choy in pots by the kitchen and they’re doing quite well today along with radishes. I look forward to eating when it gets colder cause they’re sweeter
Great harvest 🎉
-11.5 up here Jess last year
Hey Jessie, For what it is worth I like the straight hair. We should have our first avg frost Oct 1st yet we are having daytime temps of 27° C to 31° C the past 4 days. We have not evening frosts forecast for the next 14 days. I am glad about 10 days ago I put fertilizer out and heavy water to get the final puch from the garden. I still have tons of small green tomatoes so we will see how far they get.
Your Grapes looked super good. I am trying to measure this year's results vs my spring expectations. Then I can start looking at what to plant next year and get all the seeds ordered. I was happy with some that I was ready to give upon but did well this year. Others still not working so they maybe all done now. I did get 2 Black Trifele plants to produce tomatoes and I will have some the next couple days.
Too bad that the poor compost had stunted the chillies this year. They are the most finike plants of the bunch. The Thai basil looks fantastic. Thank you for the video today look forward to next week. bye for now
Did you get any apricots this year?
Where do you source your unusual tomato and chillis from Jesse?
None of my chillies had any heat in them this year 😢 jalapeno and hot lolly. No idea why
In America some on UA-cam posted a pepper seed mix up at distribution centers.hmm 😒
Hi Jess I lost my tree cabbages and Taunton dean but I bought 3 9 star brocolli cuttings and they are growing they are all different sizes about the size of yours so I not sure when I will get a coli if it’s autumn/ winter or spring? But I am hoping we do get at least one. 👍
🌱👍🍹
so what do you suspect was wrong with the compost? herbicides or too hot? something else?
Oh the contortions we go through for grapes! LOL What a beautiful cluster! Have you tried iron phosphate pellets (in Canada it's called Slug-B-Gon made by Ortho) around your pak choi to get rid of slugs? It is very effective and not harmful to birds or other animals, however the sparrows love it for some reason.
Do you have any advice regarding cooking uchiki kuri. It's my 1st attempt and I have two beauties so I don't want to waste them.
Did you buy GARLIC yet? There are a lot of places without any for sale, but I need to get mine in this week.
what make of grape plant is that please
Where do i get 9 star and also tree cabbage
Jess, your grape bunch is massively fabulous! ‘Lil is so precious and those ‘sexy’ legs. 😊 You grow the greatest variety of produce and you actually know quite a bit about each one. Amazing Jess! Thank you for your gracious share of your garden. Give mom a hey 🙋🏻♀️ from me. Take care, Cindy from America
I keep hoping the girlies get an occasional adventure… maybe some temporary movable fencing that let’s them peck around different areas of the plot. They’ve been cooped up in one place for almost a year now.
