Something very satisfying about a parsnip surprise.
Are you going to name your individual Home Guard potato plants? Mainwaring, Jones, Pike etc...
Don’t tell him Pike! 😂
Oh, it has to be done. And a "Don't Panic" sign next to Mainwaring.
what about 'we're doomed??' or is that risky??
I woke this morning to light snow on everything and the test peas planting in the new greenhouse seem to be dormant still. But the thyme in there are growing even with cold nights. Parsnips - clean, cut in shapes, butter and honey in a pan - so yummy!
Parsnip soup for the next few days yum yum👍🙋🏻
Great update Jessie 👍
Those parsnips looked fab!
Think the cat was the star of the show though 😋
That was a magnificent parsnip 😊
❤&Mum❤
Hi Jessie, home guard is my favourite first early and fo me, has the finest flavour when simply boiled 20 minutes in salted water!
These date from , as you said 1942 as they were developed for the dig for Britain campaign , when the government urged everyone to turn their gardens over to growing veg in order to aid the war effort.
Loving your chanel. Keep it up xx.
Boil the chokes, add cream salt&peppa and a bit of brandy, blend and enjoy with alcohol and bread as a soup
love a pic n mix potato station!
My mind is being blown by how many different varieties of potato you're doing. I made the mistake of buying 2kg of two varieties last year and it was just so much. Trying the Red Duke thanks to you this year! But definitely want to plan a bit more for the next season!
You got me outside. Thanks
Got our elephant garlic in. Have Red La Soda, Ruby Sensation, and Yukon Gold potatoes chitting and ready to plant mid month, here in Northern California. Have the raised beds weeded and ready to put in leeks and onions. Will be starting Jalapeño, Habanero, Serrano and Wonder Bell peppers, and Early Girl, Siletz, Champion, Sweet 1000, and Sun Gold Tomatoes next week in the window. Our Windsor Beans are about 8” tall now. March is just around the corner. I watch your channel as Therepy. More Lil the cat content please. Cheers.
Anyone in the SWHerts area - Aylett nursery sell potatoes by small, large bags where you can pick your own. You can put multiple varieties in a bag, just put some tissue paper between each layer so you can separate them out when home. I only see the point of growing potatoes by picking them by flavour, as standard supermarket varieties are so cheap.
parsnip puree! i love it. with a lot of butter
I started my list yesterday 😅😅 Was very excited to be able to do some proper clearing/weeding yesterday now the temps are better.
Well I’m definitely a chitter 😜 still not found my mojo, simply because the weather here is still horrid. But I keep thinking of the huge pile of manure that needs to be spread!
Without stating the obvious, save your back & fill your box’s in situ lol.....I’m old & broken, so I always try to make life easier 😂
Have a good week Jessie......cheers 🥂xx
Jessie you can ramble all you like girl I just love your company and your mum, the girlie whirlies and not forgetting lil!
I agree with you Jessie roast parsnips are the bestxx
That Red York potato is pretty much the same as our Pontiac red potatoes. It's a early potato and we harvest them early because in the southern United States the weather gets so hot and humid they succumb to the heat and give up.
Oh my I can so relate to potato mash soup when those spuds are in the water cooking for just a minute to long while you are trying so desperately to catch up washing dishes before dinner time. Oh am I the only one who does that? Instead of just leaving the dirties piled high in the sink before dinner .. ? Hum.. .I ponder...
I'm having a whiskey and lemonade so cheers, try a grating of nutmeg on the parsnips
Now, importantly…..how is the kitchen floor doing? Jinxy😀
Loads of mine have come up too! I was so surprised
Never heard queens referred to as British Queen. But gave me a giggle. ❤ from Ireland
I learned chitting last year, but a bit different. 3-6 days before planting cut seed potatoes into pieces with 1-2 eyes on each piece. Lay on a baking sheet in the oven, NO ON, label the tray, and allow cut side to dry thoroughly so it gets a ‘skin’ on it. This gives you more seed potato for the $.
There is nothing that looks better than a just mulched bed! X
Chilies like to have dry soil betting waterin it helps to grow more root in reach for nutrient
Glad to know someone else gets as excited as me about chilli's and aubergines coming up. I also sit and watch them whilst having my coffee 😂😂
Hiya Jessie! Snap! I’ve saved the Home Guard and British Queen seed potatoes from last years crop they did so well! Suspect the dig for victory aspect of the 1940s needed good reliable disease free stuff. Also saved some Charlotte as well. Couldn’t do without those. Can’t escape the chitting controversy though myself as they wouldn’t last any longer in storage. Keep well! Andy!
Thanks for not sticking with the same ol' varieties.. I'm trying the mini cucumbers this year ..mine are about 6cm tall under lights so fingers crossed 🤞
I am excited as most of my aubergines sweet peppers and chillies are up as are my alderman multisown peas but onions and leeks not as yet. But the others came up very quickly on the radiator soo the next job will be as yours was pricking them out🙋🏻
A cat growing in a box - marvellous 😻
Hi Jess I am great believer in if it’s not broken then don’t mend it. We grow rocket. We have grown swift and Casablanca in the past but rocket has wonderful flavour look and size so why change it. Charlotte always dependable stores for months if you want them to. We don’t normally grow main crop we buy sacks from farmer but they have gone up to £10/ sack. They are picssso and a brilliant mashed roaster chipper and baker spud all rounder and we love them so we growing those as stanley says we should cos they getting very expensive. So watch this space👍
What a wonderful feeling with all those parsnips...like finding buried treasure!! 🪙
Hey Jess, potato, spuds and taters any name you give them. I tend to like the fingerlings red white inside and the Russian Banana potato these I love for grilling or roasting. I tend to grow the Red Norland large round and Russet brown potato as the two large varieties for baking, scalloping, mashing or whipping with lots of garlic.
I really would love to try the Maris Piper potato ever since I watched Jamie Oliver use them for making Fondant potatoes. I just use my own for that it comes out fine. I find that the catalogs want so much money I wait for them to show up at the garden centers to pick them out.
Do you grow sweet potatoes I do not think I remember you growing them but then I do not have the entire world memorized yet! Sweet potatoes are my next great passion as I can monkey around with them for several weeks before it is time to plant them.
Why is every channel in the UK having massive parsnips this year? ! Ok take care be safe bye for now.
Great video Jessie,i , I have just potted some potatoes in my greenhouse this weekend see how they go.
Hi Jessie jest seen one of your videos you were pulling parsnips without gloves I pulled parsnips a couple of years ago without gloves and I got parsnips poison it's the sap from the green tops take care
Love your videos, you’re so enthusiastic, well presented and fun,well done,….
I always sow Red Dukes nowadays, tried regular white Duke of York but found they haven't nearly as good flavour. Like Jim over at" home grown veg" channel, I keep my own seed potatoes or use shop bought varieties when they're moved to the clearance shelf .
Hi Jessie & your Mum, wow! Great parsnips! Great news on the pepper germination 👍 lots of planting, mulching & harvesting. Great update. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
If you need any extra Aji Pineapple seeds, I have hundreds spare. I also have hundreds of spare Aji Mango, Aji Habanero, Aji Rojo, let me know if you need any.
Your joy is infectious 😁. Sadly some of us have fresh snow and 5 degrees F. tonight. Always good to see you so happy!❤
Hiya Jess, oh you made me lol 18:10 mark. Oh Parsnip treasure agree roasted best. I would like to grow my own garlic this year. The quality and price at the grocery stores are poor. Of course my growing across the pond is different from you so must research to be done. We have about a foot of snow currently and more later this week whahhh lol Cheers to you and yours blessings Luv Ontario Canada 🐝🇨🇦
Why put garlic in the greenhouse? They are perfectly fine to -30. They live in my raised bed over winter covered in leaves to -25. The cold is good to make them bulb and kill the bad stuff. Lily trying to scoff the box 😍
Ooooooh, the variegated leaf chile doth not enjoy the light's 🤯
Your excitement is evident and captivating, the newly mulched beds look fab and so pleased the chillis/peppers recovered, I've had a bit of wiltaaage on some of my Aubergines, but think they'll recover. Great Vlog Jessie. Thoroughly enjoyed the spud "chit" chat too. Cheers 🍻
So I watched your chilly sowing video and as you did I planted two of each variety and diligently labels them up. Popped them onto the super seven and away they went. Germination was fairly quick and I left them to grow on. It was only when I came to pot them on that I realised that the waterproof pen I used to label them wasn’t actually waterproof. I now have 28 lovely seedlings but absolutely no idea what type they are. Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this 😢
Always a pleasure Jess & Mum & lill x
Great update once again Jessie, loved seeing your progress with your peppers and loved your potato update , always very informative and much appreciated, say hi to your mum and keep up the good work x👍
I am so glad the potato soup issue happens to others as well, I thought it was just me
Unexpected surprises are the best kind.
Another brilliant video thanks for sharing 🐸💚🐸
I’m going for sweet potato this year 🍠 😋🤞
Thanks for the inspiration with the parsnips Jessie! I went right out after watching you and dug mine up before it hits -22c on Friday 🥶 They weren’t as magnificent as your, but for my first effort, not so bad. I have some roasting in the oven with pork for dinner now just like you said, with a bit of salt and pepper and olive oil. Can’t wait. Oh, and I got the potting compost out to start my seeds after it’s thawed out inside for a few hours. Lol. Thanks mate.
Well that was a whopper of a parsnip!!! I hope all the frosts have made him taste delicious.
Lovely to see how chuffed you were with the parnips - made my day 😄
We are trying Pink Fir Apple for the first time this year as part of our main crop the rest will be Maris Piper and King Edward. Sticking with Charlotte for 1st earlies/earlies
Love Charlotte grown in bags keeps outside stored in the dry compost, even with minus eight temperatures. Still harvesting last years lovely crop. Did give a lot of water in trays from the base.
Roasted Parsnips, l'll be round in a minute! they are my absolute favourite. How's about Parsnip soup and ginger or something like, yummy. Thanks Jessie and Jessie's Mum 🤗🧑🌾
Mystery Pepper is Black Zulu btw - you can tell from the spear it's throwing 😁
Wow, what a harvest! You’ll girls are naughty !
Cheers Jessie! Living vicariously through your patches of green, everything is still brown here and we have a massive arctic cold snap this weekend. I saw my first snow drops on Monday though, so hope for spring is in the air!
That's my evening sorted. 😁
I just knew.... just knew Lil would jump into one of those boxes soon as you put them on the floor! 😂. My Cayenne took ages to germinate last year. Still waiting for my chillies and peppers to pop their little heads above the compost but my onions and tomatoes are looking good! 👍Wise moved with the water Jessie. I use rain water for all my seedlings and indoor plants, not worth the risk! Lovely surprised harvest of Parsnips too 😋 Great vlog. Cheers Jessie 🥂
Mist the little plants to perk them up and move the seedlings closer to the light. You will make it hefty.
Hiya! Just wondering when you're going to do some drone footage with your new toy?! 😁😺
Oh yes I had forgotten about that.
If you chit potatoes it will advance harvest up to 21 days compared to un-chitted seed potatoes. Good for first early potatoes like Homeguard, Rocket, Swift, Duke of York, when you want them as early as possible, but not essential for your maincrop varieties.
You are always so in tuned to what's going on with your plants, good or bad. So impressive! I've missed why you are planting garlic in containers and not into the ground? Fab updates as always
Loved your video. 😊 Looking forward to your video next week. Keep up the hard work. 😊
Hi Jessie great video as always could you tell me where you got your hat cheers x
Curried parsnip soup 😊
I don't like parsnips (except in soup) but, if one is going for high yield, parsnips is one of the vegetables to grow.
Just started some seeds today but it's a beginning 😀 glad you got some exciting surprises and wishing you more to come ♡ an exciting cheers 🍻
🍅🍅🍅🍅
Always calming to watch your vlog Jessie, i was wondering if you still grow with medicinal plants?
👍👍🥂
lovely video jessie
Strange, because my frigitello’s came up first, with every other sweet pepper dragging their feet (or roots) and every haberano germinated. I’ve resown some like the cayenne as the seeds are about eight years old now. I’ve used my saved seed for the second attempt! Cheers!
We always grow arran pilot for flavour.
I would recommend Home Guard potato. Interested in seeing how they will turn out. Say hi to your mum from Liam and Betty. Of course hi to you Jessy. 😂
I chit my potatoes because it gives me something to do and I receive them in January (although I do request a February delivery) and last time I didn’t chit, they chitted badly anyway. My sweet peppers infuriated me last year, bad germination, greenfly magnet. This year I’ve got new seed, sown more varieties but less (2 of each) got a lot from sea spring seeds. Most seed companies recommend against using rain water for seeds. I know when I bought some protea seeds there guideline were to avoid rainwater at all costs due to pathogens in the water which can kill the seedlings. My grandad used to put any compost he was sowing seeds into, in the microwave to kill anything hidden in the soil. It’s a few weeks before I start seriously sowing my seeds.
Looks like your planting is about 4 weeks ahead of what I do here, across the pond from you... in New England.
Sooooo gutted, I grew Red Dukes last year and loved them. Your description of them reminded me how good they were, but this year I’ve decided to try a new first early, Rocket potatoes. 🤦🏻🤣
U ned a frost to split the bulb
This looks almost identical to my seedlings. Some of the seedlings shot up in just a few days, some are still to come up and some have been quite sporadic. I need to prick out my leggy seedlings. Maybe I'll do it tomorrow with my kids. I've had slow germination on my jalapenos, but my lemon drops are doing fine.
Them parsnips are beauties 😍 I've started a revamp of my garden so also excited can't wait to get things planted, can I ask where you got your mesh from please, fab vlog as always Jessie 🥰
cucumbers in January .. are they meant to be in the greenhouse later on? Because .. won't it be like 6 more months before outside weather will be warm enough for them?
homemade wine?
Hey J, can you recommend any sweet potatoes? Where's best to buy? Or are they not worth growing - ta.
Is a field bean the same as a fava bean?
Very similar and grown by farmers for processing into high protein foods . The beans are smaller but very hardy and usually grown to add nitrogen to the soil rather than eating.
Hello, enjoy your down to earth 😂 videos.
Where did you get that racking system for your seedlings ?
Just have a small garden, but I'm counting the weeks until I can back doing things, sweet peas, marigolds, peas, runner beans, potatoes, herbs, etc...
The peppers last year did provide fruit, but there was no taste to them - so won't bother with them this year.
At least the daffodils and crocuses are starting to provide some colour - bring on the spring 😁.
Looks very similar to one I have from Ikea .
❤🤗❤
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Hi just been watching your method of putting up your peppers and aubergines have you come across the stems rotting off at all and in this way are you watering from the bottom not the top a little scared that my room my stems may rot first time grower of aubergines
In Bristol I Daren,t risk anything later than earlier because of blight….unless I grow Sarpo Mira….but I don,t find them particularly tasty…any comments? Jinxy
I grew Sarpo Mira last year Jane and have been disappointed with them. They are supposed to be excellent for roasting but I didn't find them so.
@@jennyp1008 mmmm…not just me then….Huw Richards thinks they are brill!
Also grow them, really didn’t like them
I've bought the kerr's pink too, I've never tried them before. Can I ask you what it means when it says hot pepper on a seed packet? Is it just chilli by another name? Or are they just not allowed to call it a chilli? Thank you.
Packets will state hot pepper or sweet peppers .there is also a nadepeno which is a jalapeño chilli without any heat but all the taste .
So hot pepper has heat
@@felicitywoodruffe4087 Ohhhh, thanks for that! I get it now.
another great vid , loved it
