Oh Jessie, that beetroot dish looks totally delish, can't wait to make it. Thanks for a great upbeat vlog again and so nice to see your Mum tucking in with such relish, she must be doing well.
Started watching your videos just a few weeks after you started! I'm rewatching all your videos from the 1 episode for the 3 time now and i hope you never ever stop making them! You are a natural at this :) Putting on this video while having my coffee in the morning feels like a warm hug from a friend
I'm always running late🏃💨to watch your Vlogs, but I will never miss one. And finally, the best couple of ladies is back together sharing the Plot's wonders💪🏼😊Well done mum👏🏻👏🏻. I envy you so much, laying down in a shadow eating apricots like there were no tomorrow 😁💚🍑 It was a hell of a week here 🥵experiencing this over 40°C heat wave. Cheers and stay hydrated Miss J 🌊🌱
Mum's looking good. hope Ani's vet visit went well. glad girlies and garden coping well. yay! for your afternoon heat breaks. good to see you taking care of my fave gardener! 😊❤
She's healing up really fast Judith! Ani is on another test for medication so fingers crossed! Girlies are loving the swing seat as much as me because it means i'm hanging around down their end and chatting all the time, hahahah!
Your mother looks soooo good! It’s nice to see her in the picture with you again. It’s really hot here in Kentucky, USA as well as very high humidity so I feel your pain. Beautiful beetroot salad btw.

Hi Jessie just subscribed love your allotment I can really feel how you are feeling with the heat ,trying to get a good crop with veg is hard with heat waves, ,as I live in south Australia all my veg are under shade cloth, last year we had a few days of 45c and trust me shade cloth is a big blessing, I go out in the garden very early in the mornings give them a good drink and top up every now and them with seasole just to keep them fed and the strength to cope with the heat , anyway just love watching you , hope your mum is good what a lovely lady ,by the way is the cat yours he is just gorgeous and a big hello to the three girls , happy gardening, from sylv xx
Lovely looking beetroot recipe too! Yesterday I looked up last year's video for broadbeans on toast, it's my first time growing them, they're not quite ready yet I've realised 😁
Under the apricot looks a nice spot for your swing seat, another nice harvest. Will try your beetroot recipe, we have binged on your broad beans on toast over the last two weeks
Mmmm drooling over that beetroot & feta 👌😋 Crazy heat you have down there! I’m away on holiday this weekend 🌞🥵😎 trust me to go abroad in a heatwave 🙈 see ya ina fortnight! 👋👋 stay cool Cheers 🥂 xx
Mum looks good, speedy recovery mum 🥰. Feeling for ye in that heat. We got just over 30 here in ROI unbearable but survived! Fabulous garden as always. Thank you Jessie ❤️
Great vid good to see your mum doing well, should wear a cap more often bring out your beautiful eyes. Will need to do more beetroot and spring onions myself,
Temps are going to soar here too. So happy to have sun, water, and no wildfires! Your Mum looks so good. Can’t wait till I see her in that swing!!! Love to you Jessie😁
Hi Lovely video and the apricot .we pass the hot and the allotment sure it survive it was hot hot .thank for the tips .your mum look lovely and smile . Thank for your videos I love then .I am from Chile liven en Sheffield .
I sowed the early type purple sprouting broccoli in august as a bit of an experiment last year thinking to over winter and got a harvest in February of this year. Some florets got a tiny bit of frost damage and overall I might have just been lucky due to our fairly mild winter this year. Also it may have been a better harvest than the one just recently, but that may have been due to the excessive dry weather!
Good tip on the blanched basil. Will try that. I am just about ready to start a huge batch of sowing again. Space is appearing and I like to fill my polytunned staging wit compost bags to grow whatever is possible autumn and winter.
🙋hi from Scotland Jess as usual a great vidio thank you so much for sharing here in Scotland we also have had unusual weather temperatures as I was stuck n the house with covid for over a week and could not go to my plot because of the insulation rules a couple of other plot holders were watering my greenhouse and my plot was so pleased that they did that for me but I don't know what happened when I came back on plot all my big bed of lovly onions have white rot 😣 I know sometimes it can be down to to much rain but anyway they all have to go they look amazing but just don't have any roots one of the older plot guys says I can still probably eat them but they won't store and I eill have to burn all the foliage ,I was killing myself laughing at you in the swing seat you looked like the queen of the allotments swinging around so funny ,your wee mum is looking fab so glad she has had her surgery what s difference to not being in pain every day I am cheering you with a glass of wine cheers 🍷 till next time take care Anne from Scotland
Hi Jessie, good idea, cup of tea first as its so hot! Your poor potatoes, your mums pickerupper is the best tool for your apricot harvest 🙂 your Mum is looking well. You got quite a lotof jobs done too. Thanks for sharing and take care 🙂
Hi Jessie, much cooler here today thank goodness. Watering done and everything is surviving so far. A few more seeds to sow, trying Pak Choi again and a few more lettuce. Your mum is looking really well.
Very hard to bear the weather here in Wales, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and a little of Tuesday. Yesterday was cool though. Today looks to be more normal phew!! The swing seat is a great idea. How do you see your tablet in the sunlight Jess What a lovely salad idea. I just grate mine into a coleslaw or pickle it.
We've been having 105f off and on in the states too. You can't go to work outside its just to hot. Drink lots and take care!!! Glad to see mom doing good.
40 degrees here today🥵🥵🥵🤪 I shall never, ever complain about the heat again...unless it's as hot as it is now😂...Flippin' 'eck 😎😆...going to be positively arctic conditions from Thursday, a mere 23 degrees😅😝
Great to see your Mum out in the garden at home. Your beetroot dish looked wonderful, must pick some tomorrow. The apricots are amazing. Presume you realise the swing seat has cut down your gardening by at least half! You will never want to get off it - you looked very comfy! Trying autumn harvesting broad beans this year!
Mum's pickerupper, I loved that, well it worked! I've just realised I've not sown any red cabbage, ahh well, I'll give it a go, it has 2 choices, sink or swim! 1 girl has stopped being brudy, she was so so grumpy, even falling out with her best friend! 3 still in one nest box, must be nuts at 30 plus degrees, I think we reached 39 in South Yorkshire! Madness!! Hope mom is recovering well, take care x
Good to see mom I bet you miss her at the allotment to talk to about things you are doing or want to do, but soon hopefully 🤞🤞. I totally understand what you mean about moving things I have a lot I’m changing next year due to oops moments “what was I thinking” and just weather changes. But that gardening hope everything and everyone are ok in the heat and the girlie managed ok. 🐝 safe and stay cool 😎
Hey Ali! Yeah, i found it hard to not discuss things at first its taken me a while. Now i'm going to have to learn to discuss again now i've got into the flow of flying solo haahahah! I love the 'what was i thinking' hindsight! So much of that!
Great update Jessie , great to see your mum too , weather has been shocking up here in NE England too 36° at somepoint were trying to get some sleep as I type this and its still 29° my goodness , anyway you must be pleased with your progress this week hoping you have a great day tomorrow and the weather behaves itself xx
Hi Jim! Thank you. The hot days is one thing, its the hot nights that are crazy isn't it! Didn't get below 25 here for a few nights! Hope you coped okay and everything's good.
@@JessieatPlot37 thanks Jessie it will hopefully improve all round, thankfully I've just tested negative for covid as I've been struggling with that too which doesn't help 😅 thankfully I have my garden and your updates on utube to help me through, take care and keep up the good work xx
My plants have generally loved this weather, are loving it and have shot up in the past few days, my lemon tree wasn’t looking good at the start of the year now is loving life and has loads of new shoots but I haven’t enjoyed this weather. I’ve gone into hibernation until it’s gone.
@@JessieatPlot37all I’ve done is water the pots very slowly at night,and now have a list of jobs to do that should take me a weekend to do. Mainly the potatoes, take the peas out and swap with sweetcorn and beans, then deadhead, got the hedges to cut. I’m not a list fan it shows how much you haven’t done. Are franchi seeds worth it? I know Charles dowding recommends them for the radicchio varieties
Jess I had a lovely swing seat my parents bought fir me in Changi. It moved around with us it was Devine but sadly it didn’t come with me to Aus. I have lots of happy memories sitting on it under a laburnum tree in mums next to last home. I hope you enjoy your great find as much. Yes Jess get those apricots I spotted a crow up in them at the start of the video.
Just want to tell you… there has just been about 15 drops of rain here (6 15pm weds 19/7!!!!)….more later when have watched rest of latest video… ‘Sweltering Sue’(Birmingham del Sol!!)
@@JessieatPlot37 No such Luck, Jessie…I did watch whole video… but was too P**sed off by the heat… that my brain would not function enough to say anymore!!!!…(did enjoy it though….a day later, cooler and ‘escaped to the ‘Cotswolds’ for a couple of days !!😃👌)….Brain in a much better mood now….🧠😁….Sue(not in Birmingham!)
Your Mum looks great...I too had same op but it took lots longer! I guess things have improved greatly since then....in and OUT! Plus all that gardening walking backwards possibly had a lot to do with your Mums fast recovery! One gardening question...does this extreme heat have anything to do with my dragon tongue beans NOT blooming or setting fruit....1st time planting (saw yours) I planted them over TWO months ago! Cheers!
Apricots!! Will you dry any in your dehydrator? I invested in one too! I did a load of rhubarb (a most prolific crop in Orkney) to make tea and maybe to use in cakes? I've tried it as is and it's like very sour sweets! 👌 Swing seat - excitement!! Sorry about the heatwave 🔥🥵 not a sniff of one here 😂
Hello to your mom! Your beetroot dish looks delicious. I just made a batch of pesto the other day using the blanching technique. I also threw in some spinach leaves, a touch of lemon juice and a bit of butter. I only had raw sunflower seeds (no pine nuts) along with the garlic, parmesan and oil. It was delicious on my pasta that night as well as a turkey sandwich next day, then I froze the rest. All still beautiful green. Stay cool, love the swing seat! (Soon to belong to Lily)
Thanks Sherry! Sounds delicious! Amazing how much of a difference to the colour the blanching makes isn't it! My prediction is that the swing seat will be quite a hinderance but heyho! I love it hahaha!
HI Jessie, (oooft it's warm!) Gutted for your spud bags! Do you know what? I've had the odd spud dug up this year by something around harvest time! I wonder if its foxes? The strange thing is from yours they don't look to be eating them just clawing at them and playing football with them?! I think the hardest thing about this time of the year is thinking about the Autumn/ Early Winter harvests and what to plan/ sow now. I've got a tonne of Brassica seedlings in cell trays - hope they don't bolt as soon as I find a new spot for them! I'm treating this year as the first year where we'll try and get some proper Spring Cabbage as well as the winter varieties. Yay for the swing seat. Will go nicely with a coffee (or cold beer) on the allotment! Have a good week! Andy!
Good tips on the bean varieties etc . Will give a try next year. Whilst you were at Hampton court you mentioned that you got some advice about garlic what was that. I water at day break 4.30 a lot easier then.
Yeah, i got up at day break a few times telling myself i'd go back to bed when i got home but by then it was too hot hahaha! Hmm.... garlic? I've forgotten, i'll have to go back and see what i said!
I've just discovered the rivers of London books. I've been raving about them!! Harry Potter for big boys and girls! Wet wet wet here. Not fun when you own a horse for your daughter and he's breaststroke in his grazing!. Over strawberries are soon to be for sale those and dahlias are my upcoming focus. No eggs dance autumn from my chooks
Another tip when making Pesto is don't use the red/purple Basil as your Pesto will come out the colour of New born Baby Poo 🤦♀️ I wanted purple pesto but didn't happen (still tasted delicious)
Hello! Your apricot tree is beautiful! We’ve just planted one on our plot and I was wondering if you fleece it in the winter/spring coz they bloom so early before the last frost?
watered my plants sunday evening, a couple are looking a bit droopy now but it's supposed to rain a bit tomorrow morning and then rain more in the afternoon... Just gonna see whet the night brings. And 0930 is wine'o clock somewhere :-)
so jeally ive always wanted a swing seat too lol and most of my stuff survived apart from a tray of toms still in the polly ops running out of space and aubergine's went all droopy but looking better tonight lol
The highest temperature I've experienced is 38c. One day in a big city. Low humidity. We've had a few days of the same here with humidex included. So I don't know what 40c feels like. Don't want to know!
Best for Mom's recovery. I love your music.
Oh Jessie, that beetroot dish looks totally delish, can't wait to make it. Thanks for a great upbeat vlog again and so nice to see your Mum tucking in with such relish, she must be doing well.

I should be outside doing, but I’m chilling. Much needed , and of course I’m acquiring knowledge as well.🤔👏🏼💐
Beautiful work Jessie babe.
You can keep the radishes for the seed pods and then give them to the chooks
Sliced beetroot with apple vinegar,salt, pinch of sugar, some onion and a bit horseradish.... 😊 wonderful video.....
Your mother looks soooo good! It’s nice to see her in the picture with you again. It’s really hot here in Kentucky, USA as well as very high humidity so I feel your pain. Beautiful beetroot salad btw.

Hi
Lovely video and the apricot .we pass the hot and the allotment sure it survive it was hot hot .thank for the tips .your mum look lovely and smile .
Thank for your videos I love then .I am from Chile liven en Sheffield .
Thanks Mary. Glad your allotment survived!!
Brian Parsons, Love the vlogs, great job Jess, PS. You dont need the eye make up, you,re gorgeous without it.🙂
A recycled baked bean tin attached to a sturdy stick/bamboo pole is an excellent fruit picker for out of reach ripe fruit.
Ah, good tip!
Great video, as always!
Please don't worry about the noise from planes and/or helicopters. We can hardly hear them to be honest.
Lovely onions Jessie 🥰 what a beautiful colour 🙌
Aren't they pretty! I think i'll do the same variety next year. :D
42:34 your eyes are so much more vibrant when you leave out the heavy makeup .. loving the plain version! :-)
Have to agree there. She is beautiful (even more so without the accent on her eyes - just my 2 cents :-) )
You were able to actually harvest some onions, ...yeah...not a bad size for sets also. The beets looked awesome...stay cool.🙂
Thanks Dwayne. I'm thrilled with the onions. Small but clean! stay cool too!
Glad to see your mum looking so well after her op. My neighbour has an apricot tree and they have been giving us loads yumxx
It is 95 F here in the Detroit, Michigan area hot and humid. We need some rain here for gardens.
Rain would be very much appreciated here too Lisa!

Try beetroot chutney with fennel seed , apple, apple cider vinegar.On BBC food site.Delicious with lentil curry.
We have survived 👍

Thanks Christine! Yeah, not a bad week for getting things done despite the new hinderance of the swing seat! :D
Hi Jessie, much cooler here today thank goodness. Watering done and everything is surviving so far. A few more seeds to sow, trying Pak Choi again and a few more lettuce. Your mum is looking really well.
Oh my kids always wanted a swing seat 🤣🤣 score!!!
Total score. I couldn't believe my luck!!!
Very hard to bear the weather here in Wales, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and a little of Tuesday. Yesterday was cool though. Today looks to be more normal phew!!
The swing seat is a great idea. How do you see your tablet in the sunlight Jess
What a lovely salad idea. I just grate mine into a coleslaw or pickle it.
We've been having 105f off and on in the states too. You can't go to work outside its just to hot. Drink lots and take care!!! Glad to see mom doing good.
Crazy heat Jayne! Hope you get some rain soon!
Great episode. You are so lucky having water on 'draught'. We have to collect and save water on our allotment, it's mostly all gone now.
Thanks Mick! Yeah, really lucky! Especially in heat like this!
Great video, as usual Jessie. Maybe this is a silly question but did you cook your beets first? It looks scrumptious! See you next week. :)
Probably a thirsty badger havin your spuds so keep an eye on any sweetcorn.
If need a hand watering if me a shout mum looks great soon back on the plot
Thanks Dave! Yeah, mum is really healing fast now. She's been walking round the block in training hahah!
Made it through the heat and phew no casualties. Great looking salad I’ve never tried raw beetroot boiled my first batch today. Yum x
40 degrees here today🥵🥵🥵🤪 I shall never, ever complain about the heat again...unless it's as hot as it is now😂...Flippin' 'eck 😎😆...going to be positively arctic conditions from Thursday, a mere 23 degrees😅😝
Hahahahah, i know! I remember whinging about 25º earlier in the year. What a baby!! :D :D
I’m in the middle of france, 41c on Sunday at 5.00 o clock. We aren’t allowed to water during the day, but so far all is good. Love your vids.
Make apricot jam that’s delicious I’m not a fan on apricots but they make really flavourful jam.
I don't really eat jam. But mum does so we will make a little bit.
hit 45 degrees today!!......our onions are drying nicely tho..! storms tonight ? central france
45º hooooooeeeeee! We reached 41º here. The record was 38.8º before this heatwave!! Hope you're coping and the storms bring relief!!

Apricots!! Will you dry any in your dehydrator? I invested in one too! I did a load of rhubarb (a most prolific crop in Orkney) to make tea and maybe to use in cakes? I've tried it as is and it's like very sour sweets! 👌 Swing seat - excitement!! Sorry about the heatwave 🔥🥵 not a sniff of one here 😂
Hello to your mom! Your beetroot dish looks delicious. I just made a batch of pesto the other day using the blanching technique. I also threw in some spinach leaves, a touch of lemon juice and a bit of butter. I only had raw sunflower seeds (no pine nuts) along with the garlic, parmesan and oil. It was delicious on my pasta that night as well as a turkey sandwich next day, then I froze the rest. All still beautiful green. Stay cool, love the swing seat! (Soon to belong to Lily)
Thanks Sherry! Sounds delicious! Amazing how much of a difference to the colour the blanching makes isn't it!
My prediction is that the swing seat will be quite a hinderance but heyho! I love it hahaha!
Great vlog Jessie as always
Thanks Hamish!
Sorry about your potatoes After all your trouble
HI Jessie, (oooft it's warm!)
Gutted for your spud bags! Do you know what? I've had the odd spud dug up this year by something around harvest time! I wonder if its foxes? The strange thing is from yours they don't look to be eating them just clawing at them and playing football with them?!
I think the hardest thing about this time of the year is thinking about the Autumn/ Early Winter harvests and what to plan/ sow now. I've got a tonne of Brassica seedlings in cell trays - hope they don't bolt as soon as I find a new spot for them! I'm treating this year as the first year where we'll try and get some proper Spring Cabbage as well as the winter varieties.
Yay for the swing seat. Will go nicely with a coffee (or cold beer) on the allotment!
Have a good week! Andy!
I like you vlogs
Thank you!
@@JessieatPlot37 welocome dear
Good tips on the bean varieties etc . Will give a try next year. Whilst you were at Hampton court you mentioned that you got some advice about garlic what was that. I water at day break 4.30 a lot easier then.
Yeah, i got up at day break a few times telling myself i'd go back to bed when i got home but by then it was too hot hahaha! Hmm.... garlic? I've forgotten, i'll have to go back and see what i said!
I've just discovered the rivers of London books. I've been raving about them!! Harry Potter for big boys and girls! Wet wet wet here. Not fun when you own a horse for your daughter and he's breaststroke in his grazing!. Over strawberries are soon to be for sale those and dahlias are my upcoming focus. No eggs dance autumn from my chooks
Another tip when making Pesto is don't use the red/purple Basil as your Pesto will come out the colour of New born Baby Poo 🤦♀️ I wanted purple pesto but didn't happen (still tasted delicious)
Hello! Your apricot tree is beautiful! We’ve just planted one on our plot and I was wondering if you fleece it in the winter/spring coz they bloom so early before the last frost?
watered my plants sunday evening, a couple are looking a bit droopy now but it's supposed to rain a bit tomorrow morning and then rain more in the afternoon... Just gonna see whet the night brings.
And 0930 is wine'o clock somewhere :-)
Hhahaha, its always wine-o'clock somewhere! :D Hope you got the rain!
@@JessieatPlot37 It's here, sweet, sweet rain!
so jeally ive always wanted a swing seat too lol and most of my stuff survived apart from a tray of toms still in the polly ops running out of space and aubergine's went all droopy but looking better tonight lol
:D I'm so excited about it hahahah!
Glad most things survived. I'm just about to go up and check!!
@@JessieatPlot37 im pleased to announce i have my very first aubergine its so cute but boy are the stems spikey lol
Where do you get your green rectangular seed trays? Shown at around 29:45
try making a rumpot with spare fruit.
Don't think there will be much spare! hahaha!
The highest temperature I've experienced is 38c. One day in a big city. Low humidity.
We've had a few days of the same here with humidex included.
So I don't know what 40c feels like.
Don't want to know!
Its a bit bloody warm!!
