What an absolutely fabulous video Jess. Amazing! Jealous f your rain - we had all the heat and none, but none of the rain - still haven't had any! Well done with the seed purchases and it was great to get a VIP spot at the festival. Enjoyed every minute.
Hi Jessie- had to laugh with your reaction to the rain! We do the same thing here in Arizona - run outside! thanks for taking us on your excursion, looked like great fun!
I never knew there were so many different types of festivals out there. Also didn't realise I could still sow stuff 👩🌾 No matter what age, learning all the time x
Wow so nice to see Jodrell Bank again. I went quite a few years ago to see Policia and Sigur Ros. Seeing their art displayed on the dish was mind blowing. And omg. Come on first rule of festivals Take Waterproofs!!!
Hi Jessie i watch your vids every week and have really learnt a lot for my allotment. Thanks so much for posting it really makes my week. I am in hospital right now having surgery on my spine and your vlog really cheered me up. Thank you for sharing. Take care. Gavin
@@JessieatPlot37 thanks so much for the message. Yes i am recovering well and back home now. I wont be able to do much on my plot for a while but at least i can still enjoy your vids. I hope your mum is back with you at the plot soon. Take care
Summer festivals ❤️ So glad you have others to help the garden so you can get away. I’m a pet sitter and have looked after many gardens/plants so people can enjoy their vacations without worry. Thank you for taking us along!
Great trip! Love Laura. One minute you're happily settled in, cheersing and drinking a cider to rock and roll tunes, the next, silence and rain pelting the tent top. 😂 Glad you took some time off to go and enjoy yourselves. Well done. Allotment looks great. See ya next week. Hope mums recovery is on track. 🙂♥️
Yay! Rain! ☔ Although I did get absolutely soaked at Tatton RHS show on Sunday! 🙄 Glad you enjoyed the festival! We're due for another heatwave aren't we? 🥵😒 Cheers Jessie 🥂
Glad you had a great time at Blue Dot. You deserved a break as you've worked so hard on your allotment. I used to have one myself when i was younger. Now I have a good sized garden and my kids have flown the nest so I grow far less . Well that was the plan, as there is always something new to try and learn. I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and have watched quite a few. Well done indeed, to you and your Mum. Now i'll fully subscribed. You are just fantastic you'll go far. If you can stay out of that swing seat .😉
🙋hi from Scotland hi Jessie another great vidio thank you for sharing this it's always a laugh when you take us with you could not stop laughing at you trying to get out of the house lol 😂 all packed up everything but the kitchen sink it's horrible when you don't see your plot couple of weeks ago when I had covid and had to isolate for seven days before I got a negative result it was heaven to be back and people had looked after my plot in two weeks Time I am off to greese for eighteen days so I will sort about my garden and allotment ,so glad you had a great time cheers 🍺 till next time hope your wee mum is still on the mend v
Great update once again Jessie and so pleased you had a good time away apart from the rain lol , we can't win can we either feast or famine , looking forward to next week already 😀 x
Haha, I can remember when it broke in 76, as a child I ran around outside in a swim suit and sat on my swing in the pouring rain - such fun😆. Our humidity on sunday went up to 91 per cent - a tad worrying, but quite normal now.
You have rain!!! Please send some east. We've not had a drop this month. My son works in a restaurant and says the confetti coriander has a wonderful flavour. He prefers it to the regular one.
That was all the rain we got here Canna! That one little downpour and then nothing! Still waiting! Interesting about the confetti! I might have to go back and pick some up!
Slip n Slide anyone? You gave me a real laugh with this one Jess. How much damage was done with that load on your back? 😂 NSW, Australia had a music festival last week that was a disaster, campers and festival goers were swimming in mud.
Your vlogs are making me desperate for spring, it’s cold in Melbourne and has done nothing but rain for weeks. Looking forward to the 40 degree days..not really, that’s disgustingly hot by anyone’s standards, can’t imagine 40 degrees plus London humidity, hideous!!!! Glad the plot survived.🌻
It's great seeing you live life and taking us along as well ♡ I just sowed more bunching onions seeds and tomorrow will be sowing more lettuce and carrots too
I love your den. You inspired me the first time I saw you make noodles with chard. Such a simple, super quick and healthy meal to use garden produce. From that I discovered ramen from researching (I know.....a bit behind!) So, I used these black rice ramen noodles ( from Amazon) with some Marigold or Massel stock/bouillon and, wow, what a great lunch with all sorts freshly picked. Thank you for the inspiration Jessie xxxx
Put plastic bottle with bottoms and push them into the soil beside the tomatoes and fill with water as they like water deep at the heir roots. Good for when u going away as well.
Hi Jessie, I'm "alive sad" just like your tomatoes 😒 Not going to sow any seeds for know! Too long drought here. I live between Liguria and Piemonte. Thanks for taking me along with you and your friend to such a lovely journey, so interesting. Very envious about you wearing a long sleeved sweater. 😌 Cheeeeeers (I'm having a Negroni 🍸 just to self heal )❤💚💙💜💕
Fantastic thanks for sharing he festival 😀 we want to go next year 😀 looks really good. Seed sowing is good as I am first time allotment holder and only used to summer gardening. Thank you
Ohh I've grown North Holland blood red in to bulbing onions, only have half a doz left, but honestly, save some seed until Nov.dec, they are growing amazingly! x
Wow, that was soggy....I need the water you received in Manchester...I almost don't remember what rain feels like. I, also seeded when our weather cooled so now I'm ready for early fall...hope your Mum is doing well, cheers. 🍻
"It's chucking it down " this is a standard requirement for festivals. Meanwhile back at plot 37 the plants are wilting in the drought . You bagged some nice seed bargains in Homebase Jessie, lots of the seeds are good for years especially peas beans and carrots and it's a great way of trialling new varieties for cheap.
Hiya Jessie Thankyou for sharing did leave a long comment only it got cut off before I could send Anywhoo Cheers from my Den to yours lol Jessie’s Den blessings luv Ontario Canada 🐝🇨🇦
Hi Jessie loved your swing "den" reminded me of the den I used to make as a kid in our living room using the clothes maiden and a sheet ! I see your glass of cider had its own poncho den at the festival. That took me back in time as well as I went to Jodrel Bank on a school trip back in the early '70's 📡🔭📡 soooo long ago now. When I first saw you putting on the backpack with your tent and chairs I thought you had the look of an astronaut trying to walk on the moon 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers Jessie, entertaining as always 🍷🍷🍷

It is so exciting to be picking tomatoes, I think it's my favourite harvesting. We always grow Tumbling Tom in tubs and they are very early and so prolific. If you like an acid tom for sauces that is your man. The skins need to be taken off via dunking in boiling water or freezing then defrosting. They make superb pasta sauce if you are not keen on the traditional sugary type. Today we picked the first Sunstripe as it had split with all the rain. A nice salad tom I think. Will have to wait for the true flavour when the weather dries up a bit. I can hardly wait fot my first Crimson Crush....nearly there, yay!@
Hey Jessie, What a fun video, The travel videos are just a joy and you do them so well. The allotment looks so nice. I loved the tomato and cucumber salad. We will be getting tomatoes in the next 7 - 10 days just one at a time now. See you next week be safe take care bye now Steven
Hi Jessy it's was fun to see the video you are such fun smile that make me feel happy to see you at the allotment. I will go to homebase to get more seed. Thank for your videos .
I have tried shade cloth on it and it didn't make that great a difference. Its brilliant on the greenhouse for some reason but not so effective on the poly!
Most of the tunnel houses I have seen with it on, that it has been successful on, have sides that roll up, so maybe that is the difference. I plan on putting shade cloth over my garden this year, our summer sun burns my tomatoes.
Hi Jessie, that smell before / during rain is just the best isn’t it! (Think it’s called petrichor?) So glad the weather broke and we got some rain! I think the spring onion and turnip bed seeding looked brilliant - I should do more of the watering the drill before and compost afterwards as we got mixed germination on a few rows of carrots this month. The cima di rappa seeding idea looked great. We don’t do much self seeding. We do have patches of club root though. The festival at Jodrell Bank looked great. Had a few mates go but I was in Bucks at a history festival! Sorry about the Manchester rain! Cheers, Andy
Hey Andy! Yeah Petrichor is one of the finest words out there isn't it! I wanted to call my hamster that when i was a kid but ended up calling her Suzuki hahah! I'm interested to see how the Cima di Rapa comes up because i know brassicas are supposed to cross pollinate like crazy but the previous accidental ones have been fab so... we'll see! Cheers!
@@JessieatPlot37 That would be the best name for a hamster somehow 🤣 (Suzuki coming a close second of course!) You never know - you might get a random Cima variety and something really tasty! Andy
Hello! Apologies, some people are saying they can't see the video. TH-cam seems to has its knickers in a twist - give it a min and it seems to start working.
I’ll be interested to see how the north holland blood red spring onions work out. I’ve had terrible problems with decent germination from two different seed companies over the last couple of years (not Mr Fothergill’s). It’s a shame because they’re very tasty!
Hi Jess, great video . Looks like you had a great time ☺️. Good for you 🙂. I like to see how your mushrooms doing when you have the time. Also, do you remember I think it was last year when your sister or a friend ( I don't remember exactly) gave you a chayote. Did chayote survive? My chayotes two year's now I am trying to grow them ,are only leaves 🙄. Thanks again for the video it was fantastic. I can't wait to watch your next one. Say hello to your mum. Even we know she's back,still missed her. Greetings from Eastbourne East Sussex Kalli 😊
Thanks Kalli! Sadly the Chayote (that was what i had as a Chow chow?) Didn't survive the winter. I'm on the hunt for another one to put in a more protected spot!
@@JessieatPlot37 Hi Jess, and thanks for answering 😊 I know is a plant for warm climates. But, its give you any fruits during the summer? Sorry I am asking again and again but I am trying to find out if it's worth it to grow them or not. I asked you about the mushrooms because I am interested to grow some too. I really like the idea from your video. Happy gardening. I can't wait for your next video 😊😊
@@JessieatPlot37 That is good to hear...they are quite difficult. On a lighter a note, is the Blue Dot Festival exclusive to Manchester? Cheers, Rachel
So enjoyed that video. The festival footage was awesome and I bet the talks were so interesting. Not sure about time travel but interesting all the same. I love those mind bender theories. As always plenty of laugh out loud moments. Here in New Zealand its cold and damp and I have the head cold from hell. So cheers for sharing 😎👍
The rains and then skies looked lovely after the 40 degrees temps! Loved the escapee and how dare you not share your lunch ! It’s the same with mine as I pass by with my arms full of things for dinner the chicks are appalled it’s not all for them. I’ve been do reading on seed saving and thought most brassicas quite happily cross pollinate, so it’s interesting to know you’ve had success with the cime de rapa. I’ve been understanding you need at least 200 metre distance between crops. Or do you feel yours were not in flower at the same time as other brassicas? So far I’ve only saved some arugula aka rocket which was frankly a fluke to find they never cross with anything else. The bonus being it grew nicely this year Glad you two enjoyed the festival-I should but don’t have the energy for carrying that much gear or camping in the rain any longer. 😂😂
Ah, it was bliss after all that heat Leanne! Yeah, interesting with the Cima di Rapa. I've never collected seed from brassicas for that reason but the self seeded Cima (accidental) was fantastic! Maybe it was fluke and it wont work this time but can only try!
Oh Molly!! I'm such a nincompoop! I was in such a stress trying to get it to upload here i completely forgot. And i'm reading this so late too. I'm sorry!!

Petrichor is the name of that unique smell that comes with rain. It's the smell of the UK when you have been away for a while x
Yeah, Petrichor is one of may favourite words. I wanted to name my hamster that when i was a kid but she ended up Suzuki hahaha!
Hi Jess love the tomato dance made me chuckle classic ! 🤣🤣
Hahaha, Tomato joy William :D
26:21 This is how I picture the scene in 1271 when Marco Polo set out on his travels to the East. Inspirational!
Fully equipped to reach the North Pole, cross the Sahara or climb Mt Everest! 😄
Hahahahah! Jessie the Packhorse!
Fabulous, I love the sound of that festival. Also love the swing chair and bee impression 😀
Hahahah, thanks Simon!
Great adventure. Glad you took us along.. but you didn't say how mum was getting on. I'm sure she's fine..
Yep, shes doing well Tony!
Thanks for taking us.
Thanks for coming Anna!
Haha I find myself scheduling around my gardens and my sister misses our 'us' time together because of it. It's like leaving our kids in a way
Hahhaha, it is!

Love the tomato dance! 🤣
:D Tomato Joy!
Your lucky we haven't had any rain at all
We have had pretty much nothing down south Patricia!
Hi Jessie-
had to laugh with your reaction to the rain! We do the same thing here in Arizona - run outside! thanks for taking us on your excursion, looked like great fun!
I just wish it had lasted longer Karen, that was all we got!
I never knew there were so many different types of festivals out there. Also didn't realise I could still sow stuff 👩🌾 No matter what age, learning all the time x
:D its constant isn't it Jackie!
Omg it’s so nice to see rain it’s so rare these days
Love your muttley laff jess x ❤
Hahahah, when i'm editing i'm always 'cringe' at my laugh. Not much i can do about it though! Hahah!
Jess you are such a Trojan carrying all that on your back. I so impressed. You deserve a good break enjoy. Xx
Hahaha, i felt like an overloaded Donkey rather than a Trojan Mandy! :D
Wow so nice to see Jodrell Bank again. I went quite a few years ago to see Policia and Sigur Ros. Seeing their art displayed on the dish was mind blowing. And omg. Come on first rule of festivals Take Waterproofs!!!

It was really fab Frances!
I get the impression that mum and dad wanted to see the Antarctic survey talk and poor son no! wasn't so bothered :D
Hahahahah
Have grown confetti, very good.
Oh interesting. I might give it a go!
Great trip! Love Laura. One minute you're happily settled in, cheersing and drinking a cider to rock and roll tunes, the next, silence and rain pelting the tent top. 😂 Glad you took some time off to go and enjoy yourselves.

Hopefully everyone will be in peak form soon! :D
What are those bugs crawling in the soil after you created the rows for the green onions. They were all over.
Yes....I'm intrigued too!! ❤️ ❤️
I think they were roly polys ( woodlice)
Bet sowbugs lol
Woodlice. I think i must have upset them :D

Mad as a box of frogs!!

I have been growing tree spinach in my garden and allotment for years but still haven't tried it yet..thank you for reminding me to eat what I grow
Hahahah, definitely try it. Its really great. :D
The golden beetroot is my most favorite and the skins slip right off yumm. Hope you had a great time on your adventure.

Fantastic thanks for sharing he festival 😀 we want to go next year 😀 looks really good. Seed sowing is good as I am first time allotment holder and only used to summer gardening. Thank you
I definitely recommend it! We are going to go next year too so maybe see you there!
I use lillia and North Holland as an overwintering red onion, have been very successful, this will be forth year, very little bolting with them.
Oh good to know David. Lilia has always been so reliable but i've had issues with others. Maybe Blood Red it the answer!
Excellent fun...as per.

:D Thanks Steven. Hope you've got loads of Toms now, :D
How ironic that you were all next to technology that could detect signals light years in space but your own signals were pants. 😜😄
Hahahah! i know!! Really made me laugh
Well, the rain was a joy after the stupid heat that knocked me out but I was bored by day 2 of torrential down pouring as both kept me from gardening.
Ah but torrential rain sounds so good about now Lynn!
Hi
Jessy it's was fun to see the video you are such fun smile that make me feel happy to see you at the allotment. I will go to homebase to get more seed. Thank for your videos .
Ahhh, thank you Mary!!
always a joy to watch your videos jessie
And you always comment! Appreciate it Steven! :D

Hey Andy! Yeah Petrichor is one of the finest words out there isn't it! I wanted to call my hamster that when i was a kid but ended up calling her Suzuki hahah!
I'm interested to see how the Cima di Rapa comes up because i know brassicas are supposed to cross pollinate like crazy but the previous accidental ones have been fab so... we'll see!
Cheers!
@@JessieatPlot37 That would be the best name for a hamster somehow 🤣 (Suzuki coming a close second of course!)
You never know - you might get a random Cima variety and something really tasty!
Andy
Hello! Apologies, some people are saying they can't see the video. TH-cam seems to has its knickers in a twist - give it a min and it seems to start working.
Lurved this! Thanks for sharing! 👍😁
:D thanks Joanne!
It's not always cold in my neck of the woods. Jodrel Bank is brilliant isn't it?
Hahaha! Yeah, Jodrel Bank was phenomenal derek!
Hi Jessie, I got seeds at Asda yesterday for 40p s packet.
Bargain Andrew!
Ok here now i Glos.thank you Jessie x
❤😍
:D
Great Video Jessie, Love the Swing Seat, what make is it, may look for one for the bottom of my garden by the pond, I have just the space for it 😂
Be careful Denise! Its lethal! :D
I’ll be interested to see how the north holland blood red spring onions work out. I’ve had terrible problems with decent germination from two different seed companies over the last couple of years (not Mr Fothergill’s). It’s a shame because they’re very tasty!
Ah interesting Julia! Actually in the vlog thats going up this afternoon i noted that they are much slower than the other variety i sowed!
Thanks for redoing, problem fixed!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

:D
That den looks fab! Is that cover waterproof? What fun! Amazing festival. Everyone looked like they had a great time!
It is! I'm looking forward to hiding under there in the rain. :D
can you see the North /South divide. I fish near Jodrell at Capesthorne Hall that is worth a visit.
It was a gorgeous area!
Hi Jess, great video . Looks like you had a great time ☺️. Good for you 🙂.
I like to see how your mushrooms doing when you have the time. Also, do you remember I think it was last year when your sister or a friend ( I don't remember exactly) gave you a chayote. Did chayote survive? My chayotes two year's now I am trying to grow them ,are only leaves 🙄. Thanks again for the video it was fantastic. I can't wait to watch your next one. Say hello to your mum. Even we know she's back,still missed her. Greetings from Eastbourne East Sussex Kalli 😊
Thanks Kalli!
Sadly the Chayote (that was what i had as a Chow chow?) Didn't survive the winter. I'm on the hunt for another one to put in a more protected spot!
@@JessieatPlot37 Hi Jess, and thanks for answering 😊
I know is a plant for warm climates. But, its give you any fruits during the summer? Sorry I am asking again and again but I am trying to find out if it's worth it to grow them or not. I asked you about the mushrooms because I am interested to grow some too. I really like the idea from your video.
Happy gardening. I can't wait for your next video 😊😊
When you were sowing those onions in the garden bed I saw lots of bugs crawling around the soil. What are they? 😮
Greetings,
I may have asked this already...do you get the Vine Borers? They are so evil!
Love your gardening jeans.
Cheers,
Rachel
So far Rachel, no vine borers here!
@@JessieatPlot37
That is good to hear...they are quite difficult.
On a lighter a note, is the Blue Dot Festival exclusive to Manchester?
Cheers,
Rachel
Its working fine for me so far
I can see it it's such a great vlog as alwaya
So enjoyed that video. The festival footage was awesome and I bet the talks were so interesting. Not sure about time travel but interesting all the same. I love those mind bender theories. As always plenty of laugh out loud moments. Here in New Zealand its cold and damp and I have the head cold from hell. So cheers for sharing 😎👍
It was such a great weekend Finnroo! I envy your cold and damp, we are desperate for rain down south. Manchester isn't sharing!!
The rains and then skies looked lovely after the 40 degrees temps!
Loved the escapee and how dare you not share your lunch ! It’s the same with mine as I pass by with my arms full of things for dinner the chicks are appalled it’s not all for them.
I’ve been do reading on seed saving and thought most brassicas quite happily cross pollinate, so it’s interesting to know you’ve had success with the cime de rapa. I’ve been understanding you need at least 200 metre distance between crops. Or do you feel yours were not in flower at the same time as other brassicas? So far I’ve only saved some arugula aka rocket which was frankly a fluke to find they never cross with anything else. The bonus being it grew nicely this year
Glad you two enjoyed the festival-I should but don’t have the energy for carrying that much gear or camping in the rain any longer. 😂😂
Ah, it was bliss after all that heat Leanne!
Yeah, interesting with the Cima di Rapa. I've never collected seed from brassicas for that reason but the self seeded Cima (accidental) was fantastic! Maybe it was fluke and it wont work this time but can only try!

I think you’ve forgotten to load on Patreon Jessie! Xx
Oh Molly!! I'm such a nincompoop! I was in such a stress trying to get it to upload here i completely forgot. And i'm reading this so late too. I'm sorry!!
@@JessieatPlot37 ha ha no worries I found it here, just wanted to know you were ok 😍
What are all the bugs in the bed?
I've got to ask - what's that thing you have on top of the tripod at 3:58?
Oh thats the bit that hold the phone!
