- We are so far behind this season, probably about 6 whole weeks off normal. I'm hoping getting my chillies into these Quadgrows is going accelerate them into catch-up mode. :D

I love it when it rains at my allotment. I sit in my polytunnel on my deak chair listening to Radio 4 drinking a coffee from my flask at peace. Lovely😃
Sounds like bliss
Lucky you with the rain and cool weather, it's been fire here in central Italy, just can't bear it anymore 😢 excruciating hot and dry and tons of mosquitoes 😢😂
Gosh Jess, I wouldn't have imagined I could put in squash or pumpkins at this stage. Be interesting.
❤🐈⬛😍 Good luck whit the kitchen..😊🍾
Masters of the soil we gardeners are
It always amazes me even though I've been doing this allotment stuff for donkeys years just how I still get joy and excitement at harvesting spuds silly I know but for me that's the joy of gardening putting in the work and seeing the rewards
Hi, We've been using Quadgrows for tomatoes for several years and they always give us great crops. Just to let you know that at this hot time of year with the plants in full leaf they need topping up probably every 3 days. They certainly won't last for two weeks! Having said that, we wdnt be without them; they are great. We grow our peppers, chillies and cukes very successfully in hydroponic systems in the same greenhouse as the toms. Love your channel. 😘
Those selfwatering pots can be be a game changer.
fantastic!!! its all coming on now jess and i love that kitchen floor i now need it in mine to go with my dark green walls xx
I’ve got all my tomatoes and peppers in quadgrowers, they are brilliant, I’ve was on holiday in June and the water did last for just over 2 weeks. I put the feed in the water so you don’t even have to remember that either
0:57 Proper laughed out loud at that look 😂.
The greenhouse is getting snazzier and snazzier! New floor and fancy grow pots!!
Halley is growing fast!!! Gorgeous girl.
Omg... Did you swear 😂😂😂🤣
Cheers to a kitchen…and I,m only 4 months out of a fully functioning kitchen😱😱😱
Don't forget to soak the cloths before planting anything 😊
I’m hoping we get an extended summer so all our plants catch up 🤞
I have quadgrows (and made my own duo grows) for about 4 years now and they are brilliant.. the growth on my tomatoes and peppers is astounding when they are in quadgrows ...you will love them... although I use my own liquid fertilisers in them 🙂
Uchiki kuri are lovely small productive plants. Alas I’m not growing them this year 😢. They grow well in uk. Nice size to cook too I just didn’t have space or seeds 🫣
This has to be one of the longest kitchen refurbishments on record. It’s coming along & looks good.
At start of the vlog I thought you was in Yorkshire with that weather.😂. This summer here has been a right washout, a complete write off. Dodging raindrops just to do maintenance jobs. Glad you’re getting some sun.
Hi Jessie and your Mum, will be interesting to see how your plants,will grow in the quadgrows. Lovely harvest of potatoes, lettuce, onions and beetroot. Lovely video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
So jealous of all that basil! I grew lemon and cinnamon this year, it's my first year growing anything but genovese, and I'm wondering what I've been doing with my life before now.
6 weeks here of sweltering 37+ C temperature with absolutely no rain... I'm literally trapped under a "heat dome" (according to the local wx guy)... so I'm mentally soaking up every last drop of your rain before I go try to save me parched garden.
The perfect potting bench😀😀😀wish I had one😀😀😀Jinxy
Your mother may remember the joy of new potatoes on xmas morning in the sthrn hemisphere? Nothing. Like it!!
The self watering pot work great. A friend had some to use.
Hoping your kitchen is back soon ❤ 🍻 😊your kitty is beautiful 😍
💚💚💚Thank you very much for this video.💚💚💚
Fantastisch Good work jessie the watering the Greenhouse investerig the planting thans te video Top week grootjes 💐🍹🌶🫑🍅🍆🌤👌🌱
At least you won't need to water !😅
really enjoyed that jess good luck with kitchen
❤ Baby cats are so fun! 😊 I tried starting broccoli seeds and they bombed so trying to sow all the rest of my seeds again for autumn growing today. Yeah, kitchen - praying! Do you plant anything to keep bugs away from the plot? I have loads of herbs and flowers to keep mosquitos away while bringing in beneficial pollinators.
Nice video 😁 your seed sowing setup is how I normally sits when I sow my seeds 😂😂
Jessie, you will absolutely live the Cinnamon Basil and the Holy Basil. I grow then to make tea out of. The flavor is amazing. And the medicinal values are through the roof. Add a little Lemon Balm and you have a most amazing tea.
I’m surprised at how late you’ve planted out your winter squashes despite being in London - it’s as if you knew summer would be late this year. I am in the north west and planted mine out at the end of May, which used to be our last frost date but unfortunately they all died due to the exceptionally wintry early summer this year..
I actually did something right, for a change. Sowed purple sprouting broccoli this week. I might try (again) Kohl Rabi to see if I can stop over watering everything. I have sown "pink lettuce" which has a lovely flavour.
I took some very late red currants cuttings and so far all of them are rooted and growing. I really need to be wary of having myself an ego trip. 😂🇨🇦
Holy Basil is also known as Tulsi, frequently used in teas/tisanes.
It's a favourite of people in Asia and the Middle East.
All well having raised beds, but i think its wasted ground to access them .always grow mine rows , i never like wasting ground.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ha that rain, story of the year 😢
Thanks!
❤❤❤ thanks. Bạn thật hào phóng
🐝thanks for the great video🌻
Two months without a kitchen sink would traumatize me lol. That is THE busiest location in my house!
Nice pears and potatoes.
Hey Jessie, we have had over 25 inches of rain ☔️ so far this year. Al my okra drowned in 3 inches of water and died. I have billions of tomatoes though. You have so nice peppers and tomatoes this year. So glad you’re getting your kitchen back in order hopefully soon I don’t want to jinx it and say when. I hope you get your kitchen back this week. I’m unless you have a really fun week and we will.Cya next thyme..Steven
If you go to “In the garden with Ellie & Kate” they grow their peppers in those quad grows every year and they have tremendous results.
If you go to their community page they have several videos on them.
Cinnamon basil!
Gotta get me some of that
My fav is Thai basil, that'll take some beating
Your mama is beautiful.
Hi Jess plots looking fab. Poor little chucks not being able to go out for a wander. You could do with a portable pen for them to come out into so they are not so free but able to have a Scratch about. I can’t elus e there are many basil varieties. Be good for you to do a taste test.
This is only my second year growing food and it’s been so frustratingly slow! Things are finally moving but compared to last year it’s awful!
Also growing Sart Roloise and Alice’s Dream next to each other in Autopots in the greenhouse, so really looking forward to your findings with which tomato your fav was last year! Agree, really spendy investment with self watering pot systems. For me, game changer and worth the investment. Not used Quadgrows before and considering them for next year for melon plants. Can’t wait to see your verdict.
Lucky Jess the quad grows look so neat and tidy in the greenhouse. I’m very seen a few you tubers have had the same luck that company are great to gardeners in the UK. I think you will find them a small if grace just remember to keep them topped up
I’ve used self watering (slightly different process) large about 30-40L pots for years in my garden and patio only thing outdoors is in winter they get a bit waterlogged. But in summer fantastic if growing in pots.
I bought the labels after seeing Danny I think had them only thing being the canes I use are thin and the label doesn’t stay where I want it up where I can read
I love summer rain. I totally wanna move there & farm
For it to be summer rain, you really need the summer
Right now, it's like autumn. Just grey and wet, very little sun and very little warmth
@@thedorkasaur What is autumn like there? She just planted tomatoes last week 😂 we couldn’t do that in NY in autumn
@@SalVitroNY yeah we shouldn't either, but the weather ain't getting better.
We nor ally plant tomatoes out in May, but out weather has been so rubbish, everyone has held off, it ain't getting better so we had to get in. I done mine like 2 weeks ago also
I hope the basil does well 🙏, Christmas card hold the envelope firm 😂 and are cheap as chips to buy. Oh quad grows very nice gift from Ian I hear they can be slug spas so keep an eye out. I use a hook on label similar. 34:58 you need a fence like the school has 😅 it would work great. Nice potato harvest. Send rain here we’ll take it. Have a fab week, Ali 🌞31c 🥵🇨🇦
I set up one set of my new quadgrows last weekend, hoping my tomatoes grow now
22 months is ridiculous! In that time someone could go to carpentry school, graduate, and make the darned things themselves... (probably)
hi. i planted summer broccoli amongst my bolted leeks and had very little slug damage to young plants..... maybe some protection going on there.. ann in derby
If you stirfry bolted lettuce as you would other greens, the heat destroys the bitterness. Apparently, I was told this is an eastern European practice. I have tried it and it works!
I'm going to get some for next year. It's the feed I'm really impressed with. I mostly use tomato and seeweed feed but it says on the labels when mixed with water the feed only last like 4 days after that its no good.
I used those self watering pots,you're going to need a bigger grenhouse!!
Should the wick be soaked first?
Hi jess were did you get the south watering containers from there an is there a website for them there an that was amazing video clip you an your mum put together there it was great to watch it there an keep up the amazing video clip there 👍👍
She put a link under ...more
lol…Potty Mouth @ 41:32 😂❤🎉
That 3 weeks without nutrients means very small plants like one inch tall. But you plants are ten times bigger. It´s possible to start with mild nutrients immidiately. You´re already very late on this season..
That champion is small bell pepper the plant can grow 1 meter so i would give that nutrients now.
Have you tried solarizing the soil contaminated with clumproot?
44:46 Have you tried Red Grenoble for a crunchy lettuce? I grew for the first time this year and thought they were excellent.
Hi Jessie, Not sure chillies will like quad grow. They tend to prefer drier comditions. Tomatoes love my quad grows
Batting tor the other team 😮
Beautiful Lady , My Jessie Babe.
I grew minutina and they grew so good but I did not know how to prepare them. Can you share how you cook them? I typically just sauté my greens in fat and garlic.
i didnt see the quadgrow holes, for putting the water into them.
are you not supposed to pre wet the membrane?
Ive got the older system, had it for years , love them
Not to be contradictory Jess, but aren't you suppose to soak your wickets first before you put them in your Quad grows? X
Hi Jessie do you have any tips for growing Kohl Rabi ?
20:57 Also the contrast in colour between golden and dark red beetroot on the plate is beautiful.
Is there much difference between a variety like boltardy and wodan? I was just thinking there's probably not much difference taste wise so was just going to stick to boltardy for this time of year too. But wondering if there's any difference in taste or growing habit or hardiness to warrant trying a different dark red beetroot variety at this time of year?
What about the lids for the Quad Grows? Tony C commented about his problems getting round the stems but you seem to have left them off - which allow more evaporation?
Hiya, where do you get your metal grid sheets from please? X
Jessie is it kailan? And minutina?
Hello Jessie, Love the ideas witht the wrap around plant labels for the tomatoes but what pen would you recommend thats fade resistant as i tried several marker pens and they fade in the sun.
Do you eat the turnip greens?
Anyone managed to get Nipper leek seeds in the UK?
Fantastisch Good work Jessie you the best te moostiun te planting thans te video groetjes Regen Top week 🌺🤗👍🌱⛅🌻🍅🌶️🍆🌿
:)
Hi jess where do you get the minestra seeds please..xx
Is your honeysuckle as invasive as here in the US?
👍🤍👍💮🥀🌻
