A piece of writing I wrote about a month or so into lockdown. I’ve never shared it before
มุมมอง 1.9Kปีที่แล้ว
I wrote this short story about myself and how I was living and coping through lockdown. I wrote it when we didn’t know much and we were in the thick of it. I wanted to speak about the Sanctuary I found in my garden, in growing and how beneficial it was to my mental health at a difficult time for the whole world. I found nature restorative and soothing and wanted to document this somehow. So I h...
A poem about climate change

How to grow Tulips in containers/pots.
มุมมอง 3.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I filmed the front garden over 30 days. Showing you how you can grow Tulips in pots and containers of all shapes and sizes. Using containers to transform my front garden, which would otherwise be an unused, bland space. I use containers for an instant garden, to encourage pollinators, birds and insects into what would otherwise be a gravel space.
What do I do when my tulips are over? Can I replant my tulips? Tulips in pots, advice.
มุมมอง 2.8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
What do I do with my Tulips when they go over? Will they flower again next year? Here is a quick answer to that, as so many of you have been asking. Please don’t hesitate to ask further questions! Jess x
I can’t believe my Tulips look like this in April, in the container garden.
มุมมอง 2.9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I do love watching my Container Garden grow, and change daily. Taking direction from the weather, following and leaning towards the Sunshine. It is quite wonderful to see something new appear daily. Sometimes I see change from morning then at Dusk, on the same day. The Tulips are starting to spill over the pots edges, making them look a froth and mass of green strappy leaves. Creating the impre...
The container garden in early Spring
มุมมอง 2.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The container garden has started to shoot with this weeks sunshine. Crocus, Tulips wind Narcissi are poking their heads up through the soil in the pots. The days are stretching and the plants responding. We can’t wait for the Tulips to come.

See what a heatwave and then rain does to my front garden
มุมมอง 3.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Look at my front garden, after extreme heat wave and rainfall. It’s been a very difficult growing season this year, the late and very cold spring has had repercussions. Climate change is giving us weather extremes, which our gardens are not typically used to growing in, in this country and not do they thrive in. One week I have to water morning, lunch and night due to unprecedented heat, and th...
Grow your own cut flowers in containers
มุมมอง 11K3 ปีที่แล้ว
It’s been a slow start this year, but 2 weeks since I planted up the container garden, vines are starting to tangle, frothy plants are blending with each other and concealing the containers. Everything is going exactly as it should, and the warm sunshine means flowers are popping open in front of my eyes. Morning to evening there is such a difference. An exciting beginning to the new season, al...

Amazing video, you are very taented
Lovely garden..I love the excitement of watching things grow. Would you know what the tall tree is in the galvanised container against the house wall please.
Thank you for sharing your video ❤❤❤❤
This garden looks bludey lovely, where is it maybe I can bring some whisky and make merry here! Hopefully food will be laid on
Was this beach an old dumping site? We have a beach here in Northern California by the Sea called glass beach. Dumping site from the 1930s to the 60s. Use to have tons of treasures. Pretty picked over today.
inspiring!
Fantastic display, I also grew up in Essex (Southend) but moved to Florida in the 80’s. Wild flower seed assortments can be great. Part of the excitement is not knowing what’s going to come up where.
Awesome.i watched this video many times.really wonderful garden so beautiful.love from india.
you are amazing
Thats wonderful - do you make your own compost? If not is it possible to refresh / reuse compost?
How lovely. I am now 75 yo and when I was younger I had a wonderful garden full of flowers and lilacs and lived on 2 acres. I now live in an apartment with a small balcony and have potted flowers every spring, summer and fall. You've inspired me, I think I will add more this summer. Bees and Hummingbirds will love it even more. Thank you very much for your video. Well done.
Thank you so much for your comment. Potted flowers are the best, and wildlife will really thank you for having them. There is always room for more. Have a lovely Summer xx thank you for watching :)
I can't take my eyes off! It looks like an organized chaos....n I loveee it!
You re so kind! Thank you :)
Beautiful and inspiring!!!
The question is what happens in winter ? They all look beautiful with the right season but what happens in winter ?
YOUR VIDEO is the best tutorial that I have been watching on wildflowers & so is the RELAXING NATURE OF YOUR VOICE. (2nd is BEN Van Heem ) Your patience of the ID seed to the plant is most satisfying for me to get on and create. TQ,TQ.❤
Thank you so much :)
Ahhh i remember seeing your amazing garden on GW! Love it ❤
Even your dress is flowers!
Lovely!
❤
Dear Jessica, your artistic and creative friend, you see the world and everything as beautiful and display your art with love. I enjoyed the video and it made me feel good. Thanks for sharing.❤❤
That’s so lovely of you 😊thank you
Once collected the flowers, do you just leave in the room to dry or keep them in the fridge to dry ?
Really interesting videos, thanks for sharing.
The little pin that you thought may be a slide I think is a split pin (plumbing)
Thank you. 😊I had no idea
Please do share more of your mudlarking adventures.
I so enjoyed your beautiful beach and watching you mudlarking so many great treasures.
Oh thank you! Ok I certainly will :)
Love this, you should do more.
I really appreciate your support :)
The small jars are adorable 😊 thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
In India they say keeping saligrams (black ammonites) in the house brings bad luck.
Thankfully they don’t live inside my house :)
Not hard to do! Put the seeds in a bag with air..plant next spring 😊
I love this type of garden
This is amazing! I have a tight budget and a little backyard, that's a blank slate. I want to turn into a cottage garden, I love the idea of containers. I would love more videos that explains how to start from scratch with very little experience, lol. There's a lot to learn about flowers, it's overwhelming but this was very inspirational ❤
Very sex ❤
Its a beautiful garden and l love it 😊
Collect variety of colors like black & yellow super petunias and any other flower this color, red & yellow black eye susans. Red & purple climbing us trellis flowers. Etc... Need more Australia & Japanese flowers in United States🎃
Indeed...
I support you , thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge

My girls wanted us to grow some flowers to cut for own vase. All we had to hand was some wild flower seeds we've had sat for about 3 years in their box 🙈 I'm not sure if they'd be the right kind to use in a vase. They have just started sprouting in the flower pots too.
Great video it helpful
You are a real asset to your village. Bravo.
Thank you :)
The smell of tomatoes growing in the greenhouse takes me straight back to childhood. One of my favourite smells in the world
Oh me too! Such a nostalgic scent :)
I tested out seed saving on a few flowers, picking while still partially green and leaving some to mature fully. The ones picked too early never gave good results and only had a small amount of seeds compared to the fully mature dried out flower heads. For example: marigold flowers picked while still green gave no seeds, if picked when starting to go brown gave on average around 20 seeds but when left to dry fully will contain around 60 large seed sticks. Definitely worth waiting in my opinion.
Please update this with whether there was a difference in the plant quality of those not dried naturally
Love your pretty seed packets, you are very talented.

Absolutely brilliant! You gave me so many ideas for my garden that has been struggling for the last few years. I had already decided it would have to be wildflowers in pots this year. And here you are! Thank you!!
I have just started looking at your videos. I know that the grass is always greener elsewhere, but I live in Sydney and am so jealous of thinking of sitting by the window and watching the snow fall, while I sit here in 35 degree Celsius humidity. This and what I have seen so far are great🥰
Breathtaking and full of harmony.
Eye gazing, just enjoying.
