Finally sorting out the Greenhouse and picking Peas in the rain || Plot 37 (Episode 63)

- After the sad news last Tuesday, I have taken most of the week off from the allotment but we are back! And i finally managed to get the greenhouse sorted out ready for the melons and cucumbers! The main thing i needed to do was install trellis on the inside of the green house for the melons and cucumbers to grow up because they are climbers. I have made a pretty much permanent trellis 'shell' inside the greenhouse for them to climb up.
Because the cucumbers like a little more shade than the melons, i am swapping the around this year and they will be planted in large pots on opposite sides of the house.
The cucumber varieties i'm growing are Socrates (a small green skinned one) ( amzn.to/2UgfaqD ) And an italian one with a very thin skin called Manduria ( amzn.to/2SiqAcR ) and a Japanese white variety thats was given to me and so i'm not sure what its called!
The melons are all Alvaro and were from Delfland Organics.
The little green greenhouse clips i'm using are these ones: amzn.to/2SLxPKP
We also do our first major picking of Peas (Hursts Greenshaft amzn.to/2Ugg1Yn ) and gorgeous yellow Mangetout called Golden Sweet ( amzn.to/3gNiQI8 ) which despite the rain, has made me feel quite summery!

INSPIRATION: that is what you give to all of us. This old girl from the 🇺🇸 has been gardening for 50 years and has now planted borlotti beans, broad beans, Greek gigantes, & comfrey for the 1st time ever. Still looking for tree cabbages.
Your ending tribute to the girls made me 😢
Thank you so much Evelyn! And oooooh, going all out on the beans! Very exciting!
About the tree cabbages, i think someone has sent me a link to where that can be picked up in the US so as soon as i've found it i will be sharing!
Ramble as much as you like Jessie. I say cheers to a glass of wine and thank you for inspiring us to get on with our growing this season. Keep up with the good work and love every minute lady!
So sorry about the girls. on a positive note, absolutely loved the rhubarb cake, yummers
Thank you, and - Yay! I'm making another one today actually, mums put in her order... lol
There are 12.8 thousand hearts going out to you at this time Jess.Be strong and give giving us your amazing Vlogs okx
: ) thanks Dean.
Jessie ur peas are growing so well. I live in FLorida, USA. It has been pouring, rain, rain rain. Got to watch ur log for first time n love to see how ur veggies r growing. Great u have ur mom to help u out. Keep up the good work
Thanks Carmen! My Peas are currently in battle with the pigeons, as of yesterday! So they aren't looking quite so lush.... lol. Always something!
You and your mother reminds me of the way me and my dad was in his last years of life we did everything together. I miss him so much till this day. But when I think about what we used to do together it always makes me smile. My dad was such a nut case lol. He was so cool. I pray that I have made him proud of me with the way I raised my children.
:) thats really lovely that you got to spend so much time with your dad and make all those memories.
I lost 2 of my favourite ducks this winter, they sit in my garden all day when it's sunny, nature takes no prisoners, enjoy them while here, great channel 👍
Sorry about your ducks. I have a real soft spot for Ducks, they are lovely.
@@JessieatPlot37 Im a softy, but a realist too, love all while we are here, thank you
lovely video and lovely music on the video
Thanks Steven. :)
Jessie, I swear you can hear me… “Jess, that piece of trellis needs to go the other way up”. Jess puts trellis other way up. “Jess, are you going to cut those cable ties off?” Jess cuts cable ties off…
Keep doing what you do and I like the way you ramble on because it'e who you are.
Another fantastic and real vlog Jessie. Feel your pain, but also your optimistic outlook on life. 10/10 x
Thanks Carl. Thank you. :)
Smart putting the plants off -center in the pots . Easier to water as well as having them closer to the outside light source
You're right, it does make the watering easier! especially when they've got really big and jungle-esque!
I love a calm rain. Makes me happy to see your mum is there for you too. Love that you took us to the garden center with you ❤
Lol I always get enthralled looking at seeds too
The seed walls are hypnotic.... :D
Enjoy the wine. You've earned it!
Your so brave. Wish I could help you fix the girls house but I'm in Nottingham and recovering from a operation. John
Oh, hope you're okay John!
Jessie your videos have been an absolute help and support to me in my new gardening ventures this year. I so look forward to them every week and seeing your ups and downs have given me the encouragement to carry on. I’m so sorry about your girls, that must have been so awful for you and your Mum. I wish I could have supported you in the same way. Thinking of you both at this sad time. Well done for finding the strength to get back to it. Wishing you well. X
Thank you so much Julie. :)
So sorry to hear about your sad news... don't let this stop you keeping hens - you need an electric fence (a single wire) with a battery and solar powered charger, not too expensive. Thanks for all the lovely videos, really brightened our year, best wishes to you both...
Thanks Gary. We will re-build (or re-enforce) and will definitely get some more hens because they are a pure joy. A joy despite the seedling-pulling-up and dust-bath-making everywhere. :)
3 bolts on the door should do the trick. Bottom middle and top. Just make sure they are secure
Yep, thats what i'm planning. Have to re-make the door then thats definitely what i'll do.
Thank you for the garden shop tour!
Just catching up as it’s been a crazy time here.......nobody can blame you for not wanting to be there at the moment 😢 it looks so empty without the girlies 💔 I really feel for you. X
I admire you continuing with the vlogs considering. And thankful
Pretty clever with all you did in the greenhouse ! You're always inspiring me, ty
I’m so so sorry about your chickens. That’s so sad.
I love the stained glass on the front door of your home, it is beautiful. You have inspired me to plant veggies this year that I would have never thought of . . . . drum roll . . . baby bok choy, swiss chard, and kohlrabi. I know for most people these maybe common place, but you are looking at a girl that grew up on green beans and corn 😎 Your girls were a very important part of you and your mom's life - they were your family. I am so sorry. 🌹🌹🌹
Thanks Suzy.
Also - Yay on the new Veg!! :D
Sorry to hear about your chickens 😢 like your eyes and face girl you got a tiger looking face and love everything you do 👍👍👍👍
Omg been waiting for my broadbeans to fatten up ever since i saw your vlog on how to make Broadbeen on toast. Well they were fat enough tonight. And it was delicious eating it whilst watching this latest video. My nephew has the next plot to mine and he as already made theirs and said it was one on the top things hes ate from the plots along side my home made pesto!!! Im always telling other allotment holder to watch Plot 37 your great and so is your Mum.
Thank you Pauline! Glad the beans went down well. I'm just waiting for our 'second wave' of them at the moment. Ah yeah, the bliss of proper pesto!
I’m going to have to try that if I get another round of fava beans this summer and if not I will certainly try it next year.
Lovely vlog. I'm so sorry about your girls. I never knew badgers would go after chooks. Such a shame bless.
Love your set up in the greenhouse. Pidgeons had my peas last year swines. Still had enough of a crop to make it worth it in the end.
Looking forward to your next one.
Jen
Thanks Jen! Yeah, badgers are such Dark Horses! I remember when i was living in France, there was a huge drama because a badger had got into the chicken house and couldn't get out. It was charging around in there like a bull!
A lot of the chickens were killed that day but i think i had assumed that she was in there looking for eggs and they were killed in the chaos rather than deliberately but... turns out i was wrong! Chickenhouse Mark 2 will be Badger proof!
Also - bloomin pigeons!
@@JessieatPlot37 wow, hefty creatures badgers too. Once got stuck behind one in my car, it was running up a road, stubborn sod wouldn't go into the woodland.
Pidgeon, bane of my brassicas (and peas) lol
I'm so sorry to hear about the girls. You don't need to apologize for taking the time you need. Poor ladies. I'm sure you will design a superior hen house. That badger is a jerk.
So sorry for your loss but well done on your video. We will all miss the hens as well. Life is hard some times. But thank you thank you thank you sooooo much for all you film for our benefit. We so appreciate you!!!
Ah, thank you Diane!! :)
The melons I sowed from seed died in the cold weather in May when I brought them up to my unheated allotment greenhouse too early, thinking that May would be warm and sunny (which it wasn't). I bought some about a week or so ago from the garden centre called 'Honey Bun' canteloupe and planted them in a ridge of rotted manure topped with a layer of good fine tilth soil from the plot - they have rooted well because there is new growth already - I have trellised melons in the past, but other time I just let them scramble along the raised bed border in my largest greenhouse (8ft x 12ft) which does have a high roof. I hope to get at least a few melons from 3 plants. I do enjoy your vlogs - especially as I live on my own.
Thanks Duncan. Oh to have enough room for things to 'scramble along a bed' in a greenhouse! :D ours is too small for that. I'm sure you'll get a good few melons for the 3 plants!
I had chickens many years ago feel for you. I was losing lots of chickens one night I happen to hear a lot of noise went up the garden to their pen as I was trying to get hold of one of the chickens a badger come between my legs knocked me flying.I lost many heart breaking know how you feel. Enjoy your videos.
Thanks Terence. Badgers really are such strong creatures aren't they! Like a ball of muscle.
I'm a fairly new sub to your channel and I love your style of gardening, so please dont change it x I'm so sorry about your girls, like you, I didnt think badgers would go for chickens either! Nature can be so cruel. Take all the time you need to grieve, one step at a time xx
Thanks Carole, and Hello! :)
Don’t have much to say but sending you a hug xx
:D thanks Sarah.
So sorry about the girls. Lots of love from Denver Colorado
thank you. :)
Absolutely love the stain glass on your front door it is gorgeous . I'm so Freaking sorry for the loss of your girls.
Ditto
Thank you : )
And thank you : (
Crack on, great vlog, so sad that the harsher side of nature touched you, its good to grieve, it's respect and acknowledgement. Really enjoying your vlogs finding them very helpful. The wine looks lush!
Thanks Andrew. :) (the wine was, indeed, lush!)
It's so nice for me to see you and your mother doing so many things today. My daughter is 17 and it's so blech. Maybe things will be nicer when she is older.
Thinking of you Jessica. You are doing a fantastic job with your videos, love your mum too! ❤
Thank you Elizabeth!
Thinking of you and mum loosing your girlies. Such a shock for you. We used to have chucks and hated and worried when we heard foxes calling out nearby. Luckily they died of old age. They’re part of the family and missed. Keep your heads up and hearts full of memories of them. Love your vlogs and their style showing your fab personality ❤️❤️
Thanks Ellie! The only hen of ours over the years who died completely of old age (not illness...etc) was Tracy. Tracy was an incredible massive red hen, like out of a cartoon. She was hilarious. Especially after we got our first bantams and she was about 3x the size of them... She had a stroke later in life so walked a bit wonky (but checked by vet and not in distress) and was a powerhouse Chicken. Gosh, don't know why i'm telling you all about The Trace. But yes, i agree, keep the memories.
@@JessieatPlot37 they all have their own personalities. We had an Araucanian she was half the size of the others but ruled the roost! Great that you shared your memories x
U are doing a good job sweetie keep it up this is Terrence
Thanks Terrence!
Loss is always difficult. Sadly, one way or another, our furred and feathered friends generally meet their last days whether we are ready for it or not. Take a deep breath, mourn, and find new babies to love. Its all you CAN do. Just review the hen house before moving new residents in. That badger now knows how to get into the old one and will get in again if you don't change the structure.
Hi Linda, yeah. We have quite a bit of work to do on the henhouse before we will think about any new feathers move in! Maintenance that was tricky while the girls were living in there but also now, like you say, badger-proofing. We are going to completely replace the door and have it bolted top and bottom among other things. Big job! But yeah, wouldn't consider getting more hens without a complete safety recheck!
No rambling just a great big friggin hug for you and mom. Keep smiling 🇨🇦✌️🐝 safe
:) thanks Ali.
A excellent vlog Jessie and good to see you back in the allotment after your bad week. Love your video's and stay safe and well.
Thanks David. Its lovely to be back up there!
You know, even though it's really nice to see vlogs as recent as possible, it's also nice to see them when we can 😉 try not to stress much Jess ❤
One day at a time sweetie ❤
The ending...❤♡
Thanks Tamara, to be honest having to get a vlog out was one of the things that got me back up to the plot and it made me feel so much better! So it has its advantages! :D
Loving the trellis in the greenhouse idea as I have been struggling with ideas to trail and climb the Trombonchino and butternut squash.
It's so difficult isn't it? Last year i used a very wide, stiff, plastic mesh (secured the same way with bamboo and clips) and that worked well, and was very cheap!
@@JessieatPlot37 I really want to come up with a permanent area with some sort of trellis for next years curcubines....every year is the same problem....I sow loads of seeds with no idea where they will go but trust I will find a way. I usually do find a way but never totally satisfactory or permantent..
So lovely to see you both at the plot.. You both always make great vlogs, loved it! RIP lovely girls X
Thanks Lorraine. :)
Put a piece of wood under the door, half buried. Will help stop anything digging under a door.
You should do a drink along, I'll happily open a bottle of red and drink along. haha
I would too! although the time change might be tricky 😏
Add me to the drink a long
well thats 4 of us! :D
Amazing gardener and an amazing human being, Jessie. You girls are a great Garden couple, the plot's always looking like a beautiful piece of Heaven
💚🌱✨🤞🏼🥂 Cheers!!!
:D Thanks Jorge. Thats really put a smile on my face this morning! 🍾🍾
Massive hugs to you and your Mum. Fly high whirly girlies 🌈
The greenhouse clip to hold the caine top draw... Idea
:D thanks Tony
We had a real issue with Badgers, they took so many, including my rescue Turkey's. It's heartbreaking. You have so many happy memories, all the videos. They're gone, but they're at the plot in spirit 💕💕🐔🐔💕💕
Your blogs are real Jess. You have both been so so brave to even put a blog out . The girlies where loved & we loved seeing them too.we feel your pain. But you brave ladies did amazing. The full plot is just so lush. An them peas are going to be so sweet. Sending Hugh hugs x x
Thanks Paula, i think 'having' to film a vlog really helped actually. Just getting back up there and doing something that needed doing... :)
Also yes, the peas were divine!
Looking forward to your chard video. I would love new ways to use it. Love your videos. Sorry about your whirled girlies.
Thanks Rozella. :)
I really don't like working with that New Horizon compost. It's been OK as a cheap way of filling up some big containers but horrible for potting up smaller plants - just too lumpy and fibrous. I've been sieving it and mixing 50/50 with some Sylvagrow that I had left over just to make it more usable. I think it would really put a lot of casual gardeners off moving to peat free if that was there first experience of it. The grey colour and odd smell doesn't help either.
Yeah, its definitely very odd stuff. I've found it perfectly good for potting up big stuff, like you say but its too rough for the small things!
I'm so sorry for your loss Jess . My heart breaks for you 💔 . Only time will help.
And I'm praying 🙏
I’m so sorry about the Girlies.😢
Thank you for the trip to Chapmans... that seed wall was Fab! :)) Liked the trellis construction too. Hugs
Thanks Joan. : )
Thumbs up for the multitasking editing style. It was fresh, warm and funny (in a good way) as usual. I'm learning from you and it's "comfort" viewing too. 😁
Thanks Julian. Comfort viewing is my favourite kind of viewing! :D
Hi Jessie even on a rainey day you are a ray of sunshine and what size are your green pots thank you and your mon and keep up the good work
I'm so sorry for your loss. we have chickens in my backyard and refused to put them in allotment,I'm to scared something will hurt them.
Good video Jessie. Loved seeing Chapmans again, I can never come out of a garden centre without buying something. Its impossible! Hope you're feeling a bit better about things now, its not easy, we have had our losses here too with badgers and foxes. Looking forward to the Chard recipes, grew and tasted it for the first time last year. My favourite veg now! Hugs.
Thanks Jenny. Yeah, actually 'having to' do the vlog last week really helped, just getting up to the plot and doing something that really needed doing.
Ah, a fellow chard lover! :D
It's ok to morn our pets. Hugs to you and your mom.
:)
Well done Jess keep going, love your videos.
Commiserations to you and Mum. Chin up Jess and thanks for the vlog during such difficult times.
Thanks Jessie, great vlog, I've purchased the greenhouse clips already, thank you so much for the idea. Keep smiling 😍
They are a revelation, those clips! I was given my first lot years ago and they just sat in a jar in the shed and i never really used them. I think i didn't really know how they worked, lol. I was missing out!
Looking forward to your blog on cooking with Chard.
Thanks Hazel!
Love your spontaneity, creativity and inventiveness. Great job sorting your greenhouse and reusing materials.So sorry again for the hens - wishing you strength and courage to get past it. Love the vlog - bit behind this week as went camping - in the cold and the rain - how silly! Have a good week!
Those poor bantams. Can't imagine those ast moments. It must be possible to devise a badger proof cage. Thinking caps on please.
Sorry about the girlies. They were so pretty. Re-enforce the door and bring new life back to the coop soon.
Thanks Saira. We are hoping to get going with fixing their house up very soon!
Love the trellis in the greenhouse looks great. Lovely video Jess.
Thanks Karen. :)
So much heavy rain the last days in hampshire that the carrots in my raised beds gave "picked themselves" as the tops have topple over the side and pulled carrots out of the ground. Not wasted, they’re tender and sliced up in our salads. Peas were very reluctant to take off in the sold dry spring, going mad now have with masses of pods, just waiting for the peas to swell up. Luckily the peas haven’t broken, used combinations of metal and plastic trellis, twiggy sticks from apples, pears, beech and forsythia and they seem well supported. Your peas look amazing. Main crop onions are bolting, so pulling and using fresh as spring onions, leaving our spring onions to get bigger, hope we still have enough main croppers to last the winter. Still have leeks in pots to find space for. There’s always something.
There is always something Tony! My garlic is in a right state and a couple of my shallots have bolted too! We have definitely had some challenging weather so far haven't we!!
I know it has been a challenge everywhere in the plot: strawberries pit on little green growth resulting in low yields and now going mildew, sweet corn only half germinated in root trainers, survivors planted out in March didn’t move for a month, the new showings didn’t go out until May (the March ones are now only 18” high and about to flower! Peas, again half never germinated, so I resowed the gaps, now the peas are 4ft tall, masses of mange touts but the peas aren’t swelling; French beans are a disaster but runner beans in a sheltered corner survived the slugs and flowering this week. Still, picking plenty of carrot twinnings, salad leaves and herbs are brilliant, just starting to get raspberries, the loganberries and blackberries are smothered in green fruit, so much promise there, alpine strawberries have been fantastic for a month now, and for the last week we've been getting a couple of tomatoes a day, with 5 varieties out there we should start getting plenty soon. My wife won’t let me have chickens or bees, which is fair enough, but I did allow a swarm to settle under one of the old sheds, which gave me lots of bees for a while, but I think they drowned in all that rain last week, oh well. I hope you can replace your girls when you feel it's safe to.
It's your blog you do it any way that works for you. (keep rambling. It is what keeps me watching)
haha, thanks Stuart.
Ah Jess darlin’ - so good to see you. You have had a huge shock, taking time to yourself is perfectly understandable and encouraged. Good to see your smile and humor and as always, a rundown of what’s being sown, planted, strung up, harvested, cooked and eaten! Much relief to hear that you have a plan for “moorhens”. Your vlog is like no other and is more than just about gardening, yours is a life story. You share so much with us and we adore and support you (and mum) every way possible. I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from your methods. Cooking vids? YES! Take good care, as always and see you Thursday. PS: I just planted out my one and only bush-baby watermelon. xo ♥️
What a message... thank you so much!
We will definitely be getting the Morehens because they are just such a joy. Going to get going with the henhouse fix-up very soon.
And oooooh, wishing you loads of bush-baby watermelon shaped luck!
Heartbreaking to hear you lost your girls. I know the feeling when I lost all mine to a fox, had an electric fence set up and the gardener forgot to switch the fence back on. Honestly broke my heart too, so sorry.
So sorry about your poor chickens, nature can be so cruel, hope you are coping OK. Everything looks lovely, your trellis you made is fab too, you have given me some ideas for my greenhouse too, what are the clips you used to hold up the cane across the top and sides of the greenhouse? Love your videos Jess, take care ❤
The trellis looks good, i would use one of the clips and cable tie the trellis in the middle as well to stop it bowing out and snapping :)
Hahaha, i did just that, this morning! But i had to wedge a stick behind the frame because its come loose on that side. :D
Oh my that ending was so sweet and so sad. Big love to you both. Cheers and have a good week 🍷🥰
Thanks Clare. :)
Great vlog again Jessie. I loved watching those girls and feel your pain. X
:) thank you
Love your vlog, having a bit of a mare in the polytunnel and some outside beds.
Looks as if the horse manure applied last autumn was contaminated with aminopyralid.
I can't help myself, but I love your wine glass ❤️🍸🍷🤣😂
Hahahaha, thanks!
I lost 5 of my 8 to a stoat/weasel 5 weeks ago. So sorry for you x I can empathise entirely. Xx you feel so guilty, regardless of how but that’s nature xx much love xx
Oh i'm so sorry about yours. To a stoat/weasel!? I didn't even know they were a problem. Yeah, its nature but it certainly feels cruel!
Curse the badger. 🤬. I hope you get more chickens soon; you give them such a good life. You do a really good job with these videos. Of course, I love the content but today, for some reason, I really paid attention to all of the different camera angles/positions. That must take a lot of time. Mostly, when I watch something, I give zero thought to how it is filmed but in the beginning, when you were getting ready to leave the house, I felt like I was there with you getting all of the plants packed up and waiting for you to put your coat on 😂. And then I thought, my god, it must have taken you forever to get out of the house with all of the filming. 😂. Even in the green house… great continuity!
I completely agree. Love the creative angles and interesting content Jess! So fun going with you on road trips. 🙂
Hahah, thanks Brook! I'm slowly getting better at filming and getting quicker at it... although i think mum might disagree. lol. But thanks you for noticing, this comment really made me smile. : )
It great when you get the green house planted up. I would worry with that trellis only being secured at the top that if the door is open and it’s windy, it could start flapping and smash the glass. Can you tie it into one of the down pieces of the frame too? Love that garden centre you went to. We used to have a proper old fashioned DIY shop that sold stuff by the Kg and also sold netting and alike by the meter great for bolts nuts etc too. But now they have stopped selling it all loose and have gone to standard boxes of and it’s a lot more expensive.
Yes, i've gone round and secured the trellis to the cross slates just yesterday! I had to secure the cross pieces first because one of them had come loose! Always something!
Ah, its such a shame isn't it?! i used to work in the most wonderful old fashioned place (a bit like Chapmans but up in town) and we bagged everything up. Was excellent value for the customers, as well as being less packaging and also great profit for us because we could buy in bulk... but times have changed. They too now only sell the pre-packed stuff. Very sad. More expensive for the customer, the business and the planet... but i guess its easier for them, less messy and doesn't require a member of staff to bag everything up. Still a shame though, especially when so many 're-fill stores' are starting to open up! I really think its a crazy time to be taking steps backwards like so many of the independent garden centres and hardware shops are doing... oh, sorry! thats turned into a but of a rant. Sorry Rusty!
What we do here in Arkansas, to protect our animals, is solar electric fencing, wires, etc.
Hmm, i had thought about that back when we had our first chickens! But a guy a few plots over attempted to protect his sweetcorn with something like that and they just marched straight through it... maybe his was a bit weak though!!
Sounds like it may have been on the weak side. We have to use strong volts because we’re dealing with coyotes, dogs, bobcats, skunks, raccoons and every so often bear and mountain lion. You want it strong enough that it gives them a good jolt the first time they try it. You might check with your county agriculture department, or the equivalent, to see what they suggest you use. Good luck, it’s a battle you can win.
Good video Jess and mum sad about the girls why now after so long bless but Great video and you remind me of a younger Charlie Dimmock lol Great stuff xx
Hahaha, thanks Gary. I wear more bras than a young Charlie Dimmock! :D
@@JessieatPlot37 I remember it well lol love what you do up there x great stuff xx
We have been having 105 F plus for the last week and not expecting our rains for another month. Lucky you….
wow! We are currently living in a slug paradise of warm, wet occasional sun then more rain...
So sad to lose your intelligent, curious and sociable hens. Hope you can feel the same compassion for the animals you haven’t had the opportunity to bond with, that you put on your plate.
Passive aggressive, so un aware of harm done to human and therefore animal (though, there is really no distinction apart from, humans do sadly block their real self of compassion) which can be put right by a si mple apology. I am certain it would be accepted xx
Great video, as always............. best wishes
Thanks Paul!
I completely understand how you feel I lost two of my 4 this year and one was my rooster which I miss dearly.
ahh, i'm sorry Kat. Its pretty hard isn't it. Was it to a fox?
Did you find badger fur on the door frame or claw prints? just wondering how it was identified as a badger. They were beautiful birds, definitely get more Birds, and maybe install motion sensor cameras.
💚💚💚
:D
Just discovered you on you tube..You are an inspiration, lots of ideas to borrow ! I have been using Chapmans for years. I live near Heathrow, so you must be quite local too ? Keep up the good work xx
For some weird reason the music chosen for this reminds me of the happy memory scenes in FF8.
Sorry about the birds. Thanks for the video.
Hahaha, that really made me laugh. I've never gotten over Seifer Almacy. First love and all that... 😉
@@JessieatPlot37 FF7 was arguably superior but I played 8 first so it holds that special place for me.
Good to know you enjoy a decent old school jrpg! All the best people do!
i love seeing rich peoples big houses.
Really feel for you over the loss of your hens. Love your blogs Jess, they inspire me and keep me going over the winter months when I'm having to wait for spring to return. Question about your Peas ... I planted some tall telephone after your comments for some autumn peas here in NZ and they got battered by the wind. Have you ever trimmed them below the broken bend, do they resprout? I didnt I just went with floppy pea plants cause they had already out grown the netting trellis they had.
Thanks Maggi. Actually last year i tried this after they were battered by pigeons and they did start to regrow beautifully! But in my case they didn't produce any more pods because it was so late in the year but it definitely looked like it would have worked had i done it earlier!
The shed is indeed looking very snazz.
:D
You showed some Tree Cabbage but they don't ship seed to U.S. ...BUT I did find it on Etsy/Ebay if others are looking it's call Portuguese Cabbage so I hope it's the same thing❤
Oh brilliant Cynthia! I get soooo many people asking how they can get hold of it out on the other side of the pond! Thats fab, i will go and find it and tell people!
On Amazon. Greenhouse bolts and rings would have helped fixing trellis in the greenhouse 😘👍
Hi Alan. I find the bolts a bit fiddly. The little clips that just hold in with tension are so simple!
I would love to hear your mum's thoughts on repeating everything twice for the camera shots. :D
Great vlog as always, but what are your plans for the winter and insulating the greenhouse? presumably getting the bubble wrap behind the trellises in place would be a struggle. You could maybe look at attaching hooks to the bamboo cane so the trellis can be detached easily whilst being secure during the summer.
I can assure you you wouldn't want to hear her thoughts on it.... lol
Also, this comment really made me laugh because i hadn't even thought about the bubblewrap!! I guess i will work that out at the end of the summer....
A very enjoyable video, sorry about your chickens I know there not pets but it's hard not to get attached to them, I would be upset if anything happened to mine. I hope it hasn't put you off getting any more, to me they make an allotment complete.
Thanks Marc. They do make such a difference to an allotment don't they.
So Sad Jessie, the girls were a part of your allotment! its the circle of life unfortunately. Take care xx
Thanks Anita. :)
