Hi, Jessie! Have been watching your videos for maybe a year, but commenting for the first time now. Watched this while having a cup of tea and got a little emotional.
This channel has healing effects on me.
Greetings from Brazil
Hello in Brazil! and thank you :)
Fab vlog Jessie, mist is weirdly beautiful I've been sat on the beach in full sun then the next minute your struggling to find your way off 😂 🥰
Thanks Sharon! Hahahah!
I swear by San Marzano tomato. The Italian canning one. Prolific, had no diseases, does not fall off (I hate that), I've had zero split on me. Very few seeds mostly flesh + thin skinned. When it's cooked it it just turns to mush so good for pasta sauces and curry. Best tomato ever. Italians got it right.
Great Tomato and one of Johanna's faves. I'm hoping to pilfer a plant off her this year too. :D
Go the queen of tomatoes!
:D :D
Wow jessie that Bulgarian mystery sounds incredible; I’d be happy to swap you something for some of those if you manage to save enough seed at the end of the season! Looking forward to seeing how it grows for you!
I'm hoping to get lots of seed, i will definitely get some out to you for next year. You might have to remind me though :D
@@JessieatPlot37 🤣 I’ll do my best! See if we can do a decent swapsie if there’s anything through the year you fancy trying. My hottest hitters for tomatoes are Abraham Lincoln, Gloria’s treat and purple heart throb. Audrey does 💜 throb too and I’ve sent her the other two. I’ll be documenting if year two growing them again is just as good now I’ve finally started my own channel too! 🍅
I mean, how many foggy days are we up to now in Lincolnshire??🤔😶🌫 yet another one forecast for tomorrow, in fact NOOO, we've had an actual fog warning!! oo-errr For goodness sake, roll on spring...perleassssee. Hey Jessie, I thought I was mad keen on tommyatoes, but you clearly win that contest😆 Happy Valentine's Day🥰
Hahahah, happy valentines Viv! And i see you are so over the myst! :D Its a bit of a rare event down here ahahha!
You're torturing us with your tomatoe love... I can just taste them with the salt and basil 😋😋😋
:d:D so can i Tamara!!!
Great update Jess.👍
Crikey 55 different varieties of tomatoes! And I thought I had a problem with seeds🤣
Thanks! The problems are real and deep Mark hahahaah!
I had 2 tomatoe beds outside last year and they were amazing and more prolific than the poly and they weren’t covered they all just had a cane to support them and they grew very tall I was so impressed I made all our Tom sauce to last us through the winter and spring from these toms. I interplanted with herbs and basil
Ah, fantastic Mandy! we normally get hit by blight here on any outdoor ones. Have got away with it a couple of years with overflow but i'm always worried!!
Just LOVE you're range of tomatoes, alot I'm not able to get here in South Africa, I can only imagine how lovely and tasty they would be... Would go into the tomatoe patch with my salt and eat them right there.... Enjoy you're amazing blessings... Huzzz from South Africa 🤗
Thanks Lorinda! I'm so excited about them all. Yeah, you know its tomato season when you have a salt shaker in your pocket in the garden :D :D
Hello, Jessie 😆 and your lovely 😍 mumsie,mummies, girlies too.,oh you could take Mr pumkin home and keep him near the warm as I did with 2 small ones,they have completely dried and I can here the seeds when I shake them,,I'm going to keep for decorations indoors,,they lost the orange colour but look nice and rustic. Oh,sweet peas they are eager to try and be stars of the show this year ✨. Maybe,thankyou for video, well done, hug to you,your mum and the girlies,from me and my girls, xx
Hello Hetty! I hope the sweetpeas are going to do just that hahaha! Happy Valentine to you and your girls!
I like the look of prairie fire, they remind me of candle flames
They look lovely don't they! and i've heard great things about their flavour too!
That mist! Such strange weather! I've read a few historical novels set in London recently, and it's apparent how much the river is at the centre of everything, being as it was the best way to get around or transport goods. But you still have the river as a big part of your life in London too I've noticed. I like seeing it in the videos so much.
I still have one more week before I start tomatoes. Indigo Apple has become my favorite tomato to grow!
The to do list of jobs this time of year seems incredible and I don’t have 36 plus varieties of tomatoes. I could with a helper such as your wonderful mum.🤔
The to-do list is a bit overwhelming right now isn't it!! But yeah, having a Mum set to auto-weed is the best :D
I love Mom's mismatched gloves. I seeded my tomatoes last week. I can not wait for tomatoes.
:D its all style on the allotment :D
Greetings,
You must be in the sweet zone of the warm jet stream, to have flowers already!
🙀🍷🍷
think they were just a bit keen hahaha!
I have a couple of rare Italian varieties that I'm growing this year, plus a couple of rare US ones. One of the Italian ones I already have THOUSANDS of seeds for, they're called Di Mola, let me know if you want seeds, the other is Oblungo di Fasano. The US ones are Cipolla's Pride (seeds available now), Wapsacinicon Peach, Mr Stripey.
I talk to my chickens in the same way 😀 Love it ♥
Hello, oh me too, mine all have names too..they are a delight arnt they, 😊 .
The classic high-pitched hen chatter :D
I growing 12 different varieties of tomatoes this year gonna sow them mid march. Fingers crossed you have a great tomato year
Fingers crossed for you too!!!!
I never thought that I'd see anyone as excited about tomatoes as I am, but there you are! I'm only growing 17 varieties this year. I have a garden about a quarter the size of your allotment and no polytunnel, otherwise.... and I really do need to grow some other veg. Plus I have 17 fruit treas in my back garden. I am growing a few that you don't have: Thorburn's Terracotta (orange with green inside), Paul Robeson, Indigo Purple, Aunt Ruby's German Green, Amish Paste, I'm especially excited about the Terracotta, as I grew it a couple of years ago and it overwintered. I live in Northern California, but the only other tomatoes I've ever had overwinter have been cherry tomatoes and this one is a mid-size slicer and really pretty.
Yay for the tomato excitement Harriette! wow, 17 fruit trees :D 17 seems to be the magic number for you! Ah, i'll be looking forward to your review of those.
Jessie, just about to yank my toms out here in South Oz. Perhaps ask mum to sprinkle some Aussie magic on toms? They self seed here in Adelaide from fallen fruit .... jealous?????
Hahahah, i'll ask her. They certainly self seed here. My compost is about 50% tom seed and they come up like a carpet hahahah!
I've narrowed my tomatoes down to about 20 variates and felt very proud of myself, and now I know that if anyone has any comments i can say.....well. I'm actually quiet reasonable! Also what are those super colorful things on your right in the tomato review part.
20 is a very sensible number Kelly! I think i'd like to eventually have say 15 standard every-yearers and space for 5 or so trials each year. hahaha! hmmmm..... what super colourful things? i'll have to go back and have a look !
Morning ladies 😅 52 perhaps see if Johanna can grow some for you and swap the fruits for taste tests in summer 👍. Get stuffed are just that a stuffing variety like a stuffed pepper 🫑 bland otherwise I found. Hope you enjoy the tomatoes I sent some are new to me too 😻. Have a great week stay safe 👍 🇨🇦
Unfortunately Ali, Johanna is grow a whole other set that we are going to play swapies with and so i'll just end up with even more!!! Thank you so much for all your amazing varieties. I'm so looking forward to trying them all :D :D
I despise ads but I watch them because I know it helps your channel/vlogs and such , plus I don't like waiting to get back to your vlogs. Looking forward to seeing your tomato plants and everything. Always love your plot tours. I'm waiting til March 1st to start my tomato seeds because last year they had to stay in pots too long before transplanting outside. I've got peppers and celery and herbs and such started though. I always look forward to Tuesdays because of you ♡ happy Valentine's Day and Cheers 🍻 glad your back is on the mend 😀
gah, the ads Tamara. Necessary evil in this case. Now if i don't put them in UA-cam put them in anyway except that they get 100% of the money instead of me getting a slither so i'm in a bit of a corner. Thank you for watching them. :)
Oh pants, celery! That was on my feb list and i compleletly forgot about it! Thank you! Happy Valentines :)
Holding myself to a dozen varieties this year instead of my usual grow them all! approach. Focus this year is on mostly storage bc I’m only one person and even eating them fresh daily there’s always lids more than I can eat/use.
Focusing on growing a couple faves and then a bunch of Italian heirlooms that are good for canning and even a couple for fresh storage, yep!
I can say I’ve kept the reigns in but overall I’ll be starting over 300 diff kinds of plants from seed. New to me garden and keen to grow a lot of different things this year.
a dozen is good! I've had a set of about 6 that i grow every year but I'm having a bit of an experiment year and hoping to get back to a set of maybe 15ish to go onto the every-year list and then have space to try out some new each year.
Another joy to watch Jessie. Thanks
So exciting! I'm living vicarioulsy through you. I don't have indoor growing space so I grow all my tomatoes outside. I have my marmande tomatoes going, but everything else is waiting until march. I can't fit anymore on my kitchen windowsill. Can't wait to see your tomato selection. I am growing 7 varieties, and I'm still not sure how I'll find room for them! Can't believe how many you are growing! You are such an enabler. 💚 Happy Valentines, Jessie 💕💕
I thought..."marmalade tomatoes, oooh I've never heard of them", then I put my glasses on!!😂
hahahha, Happy Valentines Christina! Oh Marmande is such a nice tom. Johanna grows it every year!
So exciting! No tomatoes here just yet…I’m sitting on my hands till March to try to not run out of space inside when they get huge 💚
Always tricky doing the spring juggle isn't it :D
misty sunny ending beautiful!! happy tomato season to you!! : ) : )
Happy Tomato Season Judith!!
Always love the tomato episode. I plant my tomatoes indoors in mid March and keep them in until the last frost has gone in West Yorkshire. Exciting times 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
So exciting! Yeah, March is fab. I'm pleased with myself that i managed to hold off this long. Normally its Jan hahaha!
Great update Jessie, how many tomatoes lol 😂, I'm doing 6 and have cut back on instructions from my wife , seriously hope you have better luck than last year and I am looking forward to seeing your progress , keep up the good work Jessie xx
thanks Jim! Very sensible Wife! Can you send her round to keep me in check? :D
@@JessieatPlot37 lol Jessie, I'm gonna rematch your update and make a note of one or two of your tomatoes for next year Happy gardening xx
Black Russian/Krim are amazing, and I lvoe to add them to my pasta sauces. Gives an AMAZING nice colour and flavor.
They are a phenomenal Tom!!
Nice video guys mum looked so funny in the green house glad your back is feeling better keep it warm backs heal better and work better xx
Thanks Gary! yeah, she was very happy keeping warm watching me talking to myself filming hahaha! :D
@@JessieatPlot37 bless her lol xx
I am also so excited to.look forward to fresh tomatoes again....my favourite!!!
:D
OMG! I thought I was mad growing 12 different varieties this year - but you're definitely taking it to another level!
Hahahaha! Its all got a bit out of hand!
Your vlog is always a delight and now especially so. Our part of nz has been hit by a cyclone the worst in history. We were very lucky but all around in other areas especially rural there has been mass death and destruction. We always expect a big earthquake but not this. Basically our three rivers broke banks and became one. So many many animals drowned, farms decimated,, recovery of human bodies starting as waters recede.
I so needed to get away and your vlog has been a welcome distraction and gives me hope for when our suburb rebuilds. Xx
Your love of tomatoes is so contagious !!!
Every time I come across a tomato list I watch out for something that looks like your Mystery Russian and I have seen anything like it.
Good luck sourcing Brat Atomic Grape. I got my seeds from a Etsy seller for £5 for five or six seeds.
If you struggle to find it, I can make a cutting/sucker for you - I am in London. Thought I haven’t planted my tomatoes yet
:D So much tomato excitement! £5 for 5 seeds is a little steep isn't it! Thank you for the sucker offer. If i can't get hold of any you might find me come begging!
I even took my coat and hats of to garden today feels ace gettin me bulbs in so excited veggies end Feb for me lol
Spring I really ‘Sprung’, down London’….Jessie 👌👍….Exciting and ‘Excitable’ plot tour from You today…Lots of ‘ stuff envy’ from me!!!….and a bit of ‘tidiness envy’ too even though you have more to tackle👌….Wonder Weeder Mom, is doing a brilliant job, obviously 💫💫….eg the fruit cage etc👍😃….Amazing new growth sprouting everywhere on the plot, plus still plenty to pick, like the cavello nero and more…great!!….About the peach tree budding…can you just throw some garden fleece over it , to give some light and cheap protection for a while???.Love all of the bulbs and spring flowers coming through and flowering..Joyful isn’t it 👏👏…Yes!!! Very professional’ mime sequence again😄…understood it perfectly!…Mom sitting very smuggly in the greenhouse made me laugh…don’t blame her at all 👍👍…Tomato Day….more fun…Wow!…52 varieties…so executive decisions Necessary!!!….35 or so is still massive!! Lovethe Get Stuffed name , would grow that just because I could tell people to ‘get stuffed’ legitimately 🤣🤣….Many fingers and toes crossed for a very very successful year this time…will be Looking up all of the varieties which you kindly put up on screen for us see…Wish I had more available space, but will have more than last year (which were actually quite successful, amazingly!)…possibly a black one and a striped one as well as my more boring selection 🤞🍅🍅🍅🍅…Labour of love doing all of that sowing…but worth it 👍🤞🙏….Cheers Jessie and Mom … and the Plot Crew, as usual,…🥂☕️🫖…🍅🍅🍅 Nice ending to video stunning change from mist to marvellous sky!!!!…Sue (Birmingham)
Hello Sue! Wonder-weeder is a good name for her :D
You know, i covered the Apricot with fleece one year for exactly that reason but it back fired badly and when it was windy it actually just knocked ALL the bloosom off! So i'm a bit hesitant!
Got my fingers crossed for your Toms too this year :D
@@JessieatPlot37 Sorry…not Peach!…but Apricot tree (duh!!🫢🫢)….What about tying garden string to fleece at various points, and then tying ends around trunk of tree??…just don’t want your precious apricots to fail…there might be a bigger crop this year 🤞🤞….let me know if that might work…if you see this msg 👋
Happy Valentine's Day 😊😊🌞🌞
And to you!!
I'm still debating whether to grow Prairie Fire this year - I bought some seed after hearing good things about it but limited space means I have to grow a lot fewer varieties than you have planned! Still planning to try Japanese Black Trifele though. My favorite beefsteak tomato is Dr. Wyche; grow that one every year. Loved the video & the ending filled me with gratitude for the earth & all the beauty & bounty she provides.
Oooh, Dr Wyche. Never heard of it! I'll put that on the list for next year!
Marmande are the best flavoursome beefsteak for us and san marzano and Roma for plumb sauce making toms. They were so prolific and all grew outside uncovered. The marmande was so delish roasted with basil and olive oil and garlic for breakfast and this was what I was waiting for in the summer to have my toms with basil on toast mmmmm yum👍I also grow sweet minions a midsized yellow which I can’t remember the name I have saved seeds and keep growing as it’s a lovely salad Tom. Ruby falls is delish too. I grew big mama and something heart last year but flavour was poor and was a bit pastey in texture I don’t like pastey toms. So I not very adventurous but I grow what we like and what we need. I made tons of salsa and tom sauce to last us and I also freeze Roma while I had bags of those. I havnt bought any tom sauce or tinned toms for 3 years now. Anyway looking forward to seeing all of yours grow. I don’t have space for more types as need to grow for preserving to help our self sufficiency if you know what I mean👍🙋🏻
Johanna grows Marmande every year, its her fave! I'm hoping i'll be doing a swap with her for one of hers :D Because i need more varieties obvs hahahah!
Growing what you like and need is the pinnacle of this game. This is a bit of a testing year for me! I've had my set varieties for a few years now and i'm looking for new love :D
Goodness, just the intro and your mums great smile and my heart swells xxxxx
:D
Scott Head had a pretty cool setup for his tomatoes the summer of 21, I believe. I'm going to try it out this year. However, he does have warmer summers then you or I but I'm optimistic that they'll all do well.
I am also excited to try lots of new tomatoes this year! Will try and limit the number I sow of each variety otherwise like you I won’t have room for them all. Enjoyed watching you 🍅
One of my favourite things in each video is the key to your shed. It's like a visual joke.
hahahahahaah!
Hi Jessie,
Me and my mum love your videos. Your such an inspiration and cheer us up. We don’t have a big garden. But do what we can. We are trying the ananas tomato, sweet million and blue fire this year. Seedlings in the living room lol ! Good luck with all yours this year! Xx
Thanks Laura :D seedlings in the living room is an excellent life choice. :D
Hi Jess the best tasting salad tomato I have grown was black cherry the flavour is so lush. The yellow pear and sun gold are also flavoursome but black cherry I don’t think you could beat👍
Black Cherry eh? I will get that on the list for next year Mandy. thank you!
Growing a few Millard Murdock mater's myself this year... Captain Lucky & the little known Gabrielle. Rosella bicolour dwarf too 🤯
I lay cardboard on grass in prep for planting. I lay it secure it with stones/brick etc, water it, it will shield from growing up, and plants will root right through it. That 2nd idea is brilliant Jess.
Cardboard is a gem in the garden, isn't it.
lovely video jess
Thank you Steven. Happy Valentines!
Happy Valentine's Day jessie & mom🐥
Thanks Michael! To you too!
Did my tomotoes yesterday and it was so exciting! Watching this makes me want to go and sow a load more, but I don't think I have enough space...
Hahhaha! Yay for tomatoes are go! :D
You only need to cover the top of the tomato bed. Going to take a lot to keep track of all those tomatoes you need an accountant. I’m buying replacements for dahlias
Its going to be a tomato-spreadsheet type year i think!
Can hardly wait for the tomato taste fest 🤗
Gahhh!!! Nor can i Lynn!!!
I have some Brad's seeds if you need any just let me know 😁 Love your channel and wait each week for the latest on the plot. Xx
i've never grown the praire fire but i am in love with them. they look fantastic. i've read a lot of good stuff about them, but i cant get any seeds here in hungary unfortunately. i would definitely try them!
I've read great things too! If you DM me on instagram i'll see if i can send you a few seeds over.
@@JessieatPlot37 ive sent a dm. I think it goes to the "spam":)
Glad to see you are so much better. Back pain is the worst! Love the plot and plans! ❤️🇨🇦👍
Thanks Frances. Yeah, back pain is a bit like toothache in that you just can't seem to escape it can you!
I grew the Evans Purple pear last year, very prolific- large fruits for a cherry style tomato
Oh Nice, thank you. I think i'll get a few seeds in!
Cheers it was my birthday yesterday had a wonderful day at Saundersfoot so I needed to catch up today I've got so much planned for this year
Oh Happy Birthday Richard!
Happy Amore Pomodore🍅 day to you! The start of the season is so exciting. I have planted most of mine this weekend. I'm still on the hunt for some more black tomato seeds & then here's hopeing for the gorgeous sunshine 🌞 🌱🤞
Happy Pomodore Day!! :D
I have just come across a company called Plant World Seeds while looking for a variety called Corbarino. They did not have the variety I am looking for but they have 204 varieties from around the world. I bought another 6 to add to the 20 varieties already sown. I could not resist Indigo Blueberries and Dr Wyches Yellow which is a yellow beefsteak type.I might be tempted with the green sausage for next year. I was given a code SEEDS10 which may give 10% off. Really enjoy your vlog, keep up the good work.
We had -11 or some stupidness and beets, chard and some garlic and onions just went to mush, as did much of my precious Aloe Vera from a 20 plus year old baby given to me by Grampy. I just started digging the mush in rather than removing it. Hope that is okay.
Oh i'm sorry about the Aloe! We have lost so much. all the uncovred chard went :(
I did a lot of 'digging in the mush' too
I love mist and fog. I drove back from a local town under a skeleton tunnel of beech, there was snow on the road, totally unspoiled, misty fog, and sunshine up behind the fog. It was so remarkable. I'll bet in 10 minutes it was gone. The allotment is looking spectacular!! Onward! 😃😛
Magical isn't it. Like the whole place shifts into another dimension for a brief time!
@@JessieatPlot37 it really is! It was just like Narnia but in a 4x4 😏
Hey Jessie, have you ever had a fresh picked tomato with braun butter and a bit seasalt?
.......mmmmhhh yummie. 😋
Love your choice of tomatoes, like to grow the bulgarian, but I did't find the seeds on the internet. 🙁
Will start my tomatoes at the end of march , my ground is solid frosen at the moment.
Love to see more videos from your plot 😉
Greetings from Germany 👩🏻🌾
Excited!!! 🌱❤️🍅🍅❤️🌱
I love deep flavored tomatoes with some dark shoulder! Yum.
Sounds like you've got a good mix!
BUT, one the most unique tomato taste - almost like a berry fruity flavor is Barry's crazy cherry. Light yellow cherry with a pointy end in GIANT grape like clusters. Almost like a ground cherry without the tangy.
Maybe a "give away" 🤞 this next fall - someone can win some of those Bulgarian mystery seeds! I would love to try that out! Lol
Wooooo for the tomato love! never tried Barry's Crazy but i think i'll get it on the list for next year. :D
Also yeah, i'm hoping i can hand out Bulgarian seeds like candy next year :D
Jet Star is my favorite and most successful tomato variety to grow here in Mid Missouri, USA.
hi jessie, im so with you on the tomato excitement, i put up a pollytunnel last year for tomatoes this year, last year i grew black russian and sungold on your recomendation, oh wow i am hooked .looking foreward to youre reviews on this years crop. also i love the random trips around london, as im from london and miss it so much, lucy c x
Yay for the tomato love Lucy!! Which ones are you trying this year?
Lovely video. Square top will give you more growing space every time. You don't have to grow your tomatoes in the same area, dot them about the plot, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how many you can grow 😉😁🌱☀️
Yeah, i am partial to a nice square top!
Hi Jessie & your Mum, great plot tour, all your plants are looking good. Lil is looking thick & fluffy with her lovely coat & the girlie's are looking happy too. Ive sown my tomatoes today but, not as many as you. Thanks for sharing and take care🙂
Thanks Christine! lil is indeed looking fluffy. She really makes me laugh at this time of year, its like her legs have completely gone and shes just hovering :D
Jessie good to see your back is doing better. You are growing three of my favorite tomatoes Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, Sungold. I thought I had a lot of different varieties started (26).
Best of Luck on your germination this year.
Oh fab! I'm looking forward to Cherokee Purple, i've seen it on so many peoples faves lists!
Really enjoyed the plot tour, as usual, Jessie. My apricot is about to bloom, too, and I'm a bit concerned because we're due a cold snap tonight and tomorrow! When you get enough Bulgarian Mystery tomato seeds to share, I'd be very interested!
Thank you! I will share the bulgarian love, definitely!
Thanks
:d thank you! :D
I’m super excited about your tomatoes!🎉🇨🇦🥳
:D so am i! Could you tell? :D
If I could only grow one tomato, it would be Black Krim.
That's a lot of tomato plants 🍅 I've gambled on eBay for a couple of seed varieties for this year so that will be interesting to see what actually grows. Also gonna try Sungold F1, Garnet, Roma, Cuor di bue, Gourmandia plus one which my great niece enjoyed growing last year, Yellow Pear.
I think you are definitely gonna need the extra 'covered' bed space for your varieties, hope the summer is kind to tomatoes this year.
Yeah, i definitely am Simon!
I loved your bee mug ! You have made me want to get in the garden. Lettuce and radishes, it’s time in N C , USA
:D Go lettuce, go radish! :D
You have such a wide variety of plants. Very nice. Fun stuff.
Thank you!
Could your Bulgarian mystery be...Fantazia? I'm growing this year so can send pics to compare? Good luck with Tom's this year 🤞..
Definitely lets compare Cath!
Sungold is a lovely 🍅
I'm doing a lot of different tomatoes also this year. But I'm about 25 different ones
Nice! 25 is a good number :D
I still haven't decided on my tomato varieties this year 😂 except for I have some purple tomatillo seeds but that's it! I need to get a jog on I think. But I do have like 40 types of peppers sorted 😂
40 Peppers! :D :D
Lovely Jess! Thank you. Do you use your winter savoury herb. I grew it last year from seed and am wondering how others use it. Have a great week!
Thank you Deirdre! I do use it, especially when cooking dried beans. Its great flavour and also helps with digestion!
Outdoor tomatoes always get blight here so have to limit myself to what will fit in the greenhouse!
Yeah, we have had a couple of years of bad blight but i'm going to say this very quietly but... we've been okay for the most part! shhh.....
definitely up for the challenge of the Bulgarian tom, lets see if it grows in the Northwest
Great. Hopefully next year we can try them out all over the place :D
Ooo!! I love mystery veggies!! I’d appreciate some seeds if you manage to get a decent stash of seeds. You sounds like you’ve got a fab list of toms for the year. I’m growing Brads atomic grape for the first time this year…thanks for the orange tip 🙂
Yeah, hopefully i can spread them mystery Tom all over :D
I don,t mind extra protein in my leeks, so funny..lol
hahaha
Loving your videos! Came across your channel about a month ago and binge watched since then. Finally got our plot after waiting 4 years. Excited to get started!
You’re making me so hungry for fresh tomatoes I can’t wait to start sowing some
Hahahha, i'm SO looking forward to them yvonne!
Got Brad's Atomic XL this year. Also growing Millard's Capt Lucky & several Karen Oliver's. The Grinch Dwarf should be interesting & a few by Artisan & oh Subjugator of Love 🤯
XL? oooooh! Subjugator of Love hahahaha!
@@JessieatPlot37 Yeah, Prob of pheno. The two new one's from Brad G could be of interest... supposedly better than Sungold (Tim's Taste of Paradise).
Happy Valentines Day Jessie❤️ brilliant video again I’m going to try and hold out till March to sow my tomatoes 🤞xx
Thanks Lorraine!
My family consider me crazy because I plan to have 9 varieties of tomatoes this year .🤣
:D :D :D
Thank you for sharing your comparisons between the purple top and snowball. I grow both but really sporadic and dont give much attention to it. I have been harvesting the Milan and think the Snowball might have rotted in that stupid minus weather.
Year, i tend not to think too hard about the differences but like you say, that cold weather really demonstrated how much tougher the purple top are!!
I will be planting the Pink Panther in cells tomorrow. No idea where they will go....lol
Hahahha! :D
Yay. I have got Aurora, Latah, Tigerella and gardeners delight to try and grow this year. Hope to get something growing haha.
Hahahah, we've all got our fingers crossed i think :D :D
Great VLOG as always, you are an inspiration and really help to breakthrough my gardening procrastination! Just sowed my broad beans, sweet peppers and tomatoes today. I am only growing Ailsa Craig this year but cant wait to see how your vast collection pans out.
Thank you! Yay, for sowing being off the ground :D
Havnt heard of any of those you have got😮
:D
I'm gonna be a good boy this year and sow tomatoes on march 15, every year we get a stupid coldsnap in mid may and im not willing to baby my tomatoes for ages anymore 😅
I agree. My tomatoes have been monsters before they go out into tunnel and greenhouse
I just start off a sun gold earlier. It’s easy to keep one plant in the right conditions.
Me too, last year starting in February gave me lanky plants
I have lots of room this year to baby them so i'm not too bothered about that but yeah. My friend never sows hers until the start of April because of space.
Me too😀😀😀Jinxy
