May in the Vegetable Garden - Sowing, Planting and Harvesting. Ep162 || Plot 37

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2023
- May is such a manic month on the Allotment and it seems even more so this year after the less-than-wonderful April we had. This week we harvested the last of the Cavolo Nero but left the flowers in for the bees, we tipped out the first of the Early Potatoes that have been growing in the Greenhouse and we are still picking Asparagus!

"A bar" - perfect and you have a great Aussie woman to serve drinks behind it. You know what they say, go into any pub in the world and you will hear that flat Aussie twang behind the bar
My favourite part is the high speed grass mowing 😂😂. May you be well and may you be happy...
I love your videos, you always make me want to get out in my garden. ♥
Tuesday rapidly turning into the best day of the week! Waiting for the new vlog to drop is agony so have to fill my time going back 12 months to see the vlog from same time last year. Keep up the good work!
My favorite container is zip tying together two clear 16 oz storage containers. As well tape shut. I tried this method last winter in Montana and even though they were surround in snow it worked! It can't wait to start this year. Just today I bought my zip ties, tape and potting mix.
Wooo, almost an hour long video! 🥳
And Flo singing the song of her people at the top of her lungs; hilarious. 😂
😂😂😂! ! Kids, tunes, planes, Flo and Lil all conspiring to keep recordings from being done😮😊.
Subscriber number should go up, just by throwing in a Warhammer reference 🤣
What a great gift from the universe....lets put out for a bar next then 😂
Wow, you are diligent in gardening too, I hope you are always healthy, ma'am
Those potatoes looked so good the colour of the skin was amazing. Flo must of had something really important to say 🤣🤣🤣
Seed conference 🍵😂
It is lovely calming music😀😀😀
Watching you first come into the allotment, I thought immediately that will make a LOT of stir-fry!! On-site too, huzzah! 👍🤤
Stir fried chard? Lol!! It's a party!
@@lynnpurfield9430 LOL! No Lynn, I was referring to the "giant wok" Jessie carried in ! (Fire pit)
I've come in from a beautiful autumn day here in nz and feel totally justified drinking a cold cider whilst watching you! 2:36
Dear Jessie, I've been off gardening and my favourite allotmenteers since Christmas. For the first time in my life my nails grew long enough for nail polish (no grubbing in the dirt) - I painted them blue in honour of you.
You are so lucky to be able to use a hose on your allotment, we have to use watering cans!!
Totally agree about the asparagus. I love getting people to try eating straight out of the garden. Because no one seems to know what it really tastes like fresh.
Please do more cooking videos once your kitchen is done.I love to see others cook😅
You just want to see what her kitchen looks like
@@davidpayne6947 I already know what her kitchen looks like smarty. They were on doing work on the floor
You should change your name to KAREN
@@davidpayne6947 so I've gone from ASKING a simple question to a KAREN hmm you have to love TH-cam. Smh strange folks..
I'd like to see Jessie doing a stir fry al fresco using that big pan she brought in the wheelbarrow .
Those potatoes looked lovely and flo is just hilarious 😂❤
I don’t touch my potatoes until they stop flowering and begin to die back. Huge yields then! I learned potatoes need lots of water when growing so can’t skip a day if it’s hot.
Jessie, you appear to have little snail/slug damage - your secret? 🌻
Badgers eating them all
Girl we need to have a talk about this funeral music you keep playing. I go from being excited to a little sad after the music plays!
I like it its very soothing...lol..reminds me of being in England in the soft summer
@@liznickless709 Reminds me of being in a funeral parlor! Most depressing music is soothing it definitely isn't pumping you up to do some yard work or go jogging
I love the music ,sorry to disagree.
@@georgemartin9618 Your not really disagreeing I never said i hated the music I just find it's more somber music. Some people really enjoy I find it to be more for something you would play at a funeral parlor I don't hate it it's just not going to get me pumped up like a acdc song or Kiss or the rolling stone's or a few hundred other's would even frank Sinatra would get me more pumped up for yard work!
Apologies for a comment a week late, been on holiday. Great vlog, you battling for sound control with Flo was hilarious 😅 and what glorious spuds came out of that bag....i remarked about your compost bag slicing technique to my wife....and then you vilified your reason, shut me up 😂. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers Jessie
i have just started to harvest lettece, asparagus and peas. Its very exciting.
The garden is looking great.
It's lovely to see how lush green your pathways are after the heatwave last year
😂😂😂 Flo wanting some attention over there. Great vid as always 😊
A few years ago we built a walk in frame especially for brassicas but for two years it has mostly bred snails so this year I put i n lots of plants from last year, like, black kale, sprouts, chard, pac choi lettuce and spinach and all are flowering or setting seed, hopefully to feed my new micro greem obsesson 😂
That chicken sounds like a rooster. Your garden is looking beautifully. You would have got big potatoes had you left them for another 3or 4 weeks. I love my spuds and new ones are really special. I’m old but love very spicy food. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💞🥰🤗
It does sound like a rooster
My Boudicca husky gave me the puppy head tilt during the Flo chorus.
Really enjoyed your video - thanks
Great update Jessie, very very busy lol but the plot is looking great , you and your mum make a great team say hi for me and keep up the good work , sorry to hear about your back , hope your feeling better soon xx
I'm in love!❤
Your plot is much more lush than mine but at least i try lol and it's always been fun trying 😊 plus, ya can't beat fresh organic food can ya 😉 I've enjoyed watching another lovely vlog of yours 😊 cheers ❤️
Hi Jessie & your Mum, lovely free fire pit ❤ Flo is very noisy today 🐓 lovely video update, thanks for sharing and take care 😊
Haws are the best watering can producers not cheap but last for years.
Magic , I just love this time of year when the growing all kicks off. Happy days time just zooms by. 🤗👍✅
My garden is almost in. I need to thank you for the tips, advice, inspiration etc. last year and this I’ve enjoyed the veg garden so much. I’m even growing flowers! Who would have thunk? Anyway. I really appreciate your channel. 🍁🍁🍁🇨🇦👩🌾👩🌾👩🌾👍❤️
Here, here AND hear, hear!
Flo is clearly the official spokes chicken for plot 37!! : )
🐔 BAKERK !!!!!!
Hiya Jessie, enjoyed today’s visit. My partner asked if I could grow asparagus for us then I showed him a peek into your video and now he understands that we don’t have that kind of space here in suburban southern Ontario Canada lol. I do purchase from local farmers when in season, agree we prefer that over the grocery store that imports from other countries. How ever the farmers market is truly getting pricey and I understand why. Cheers Luv 🇨🇦🐝
Hi, I know this is an older video but what is the root you pulled up and talking about club root? How do you use the root? You plant a few things I have never heard of. I just found your channel a few days ago so I'm going back and watching some older ones. You have a beautiful allotment!! You are very knowledgeable about growing beautiful veggies! I'm in the US and had never heard of allotments until I saw another channel that has one. I have a large garden in my back yard. I think if I had to go somewhere else to garden I would never be motivated to go take care of it. Out of sight out of mind haha. Anyway, you and your mum do an amazing job!
Enjoyed your video… here in the states, we had Mother’s Day….wishing your mom had a lovely day… love watching her get going in the garden…you girls are motivating me to continue my gardening….
You with dealing the seeds packets and mum with that cap, looks like your playing poker jess😂
You looked like you were playing Twister when you were picking the asparagus!😊
The plot is looking lovely I was in London last week headed right to B&M to get seeds . My mom also gifted me seeds 😅 she knows me well. Hoping the broad beans will do well here in New Jersey. Could not get a ticket to the sky garden for love nor money but Kew was lovely.
No reason the beans won't do well although it might be a little late depending on variety. Be sure to let some go dry on the plant to provide next year's seed.
loved the wood compact gadget you made, stay amazing :)
My other half paint Warhammer and I need a soil presser so he made me one with a wine cork and cork mat it's so cute lol, my taters are being demolished by slugs never seen such damage,fab vlog Jessie 🥰
Thanks for the Achocha nudge.. Going to try this... The girlies always make me smile.
Ommmg that paella dish is incredible!
Ah, you have found Sputnik,
Chick peas are such pretty plants especially when they flower. Mine failed this year I may sow some more🤔
How are your toms peppers chillies and cucumbers doing?
Let's get hooked up. I will always keep you close to my heart.
Loved the hen chorus🐔
Ah love the seed tetris in the greenhouse x
Love the Chanel could you please tell me the name of the knife you use many thanks John 😅
Morning ladies, I would take a few days of your rain 38c here and weeks of no rain is not boding well for summer. I have lost a few things to burning (my fault 🤦🏼♀️) and bolting already. You go Flo girl make your voice heard. That was one giant snail on Instagram 😮. Anyway I’ll stop waffling, have a fab week, Ali 🌞🥵🇨🇦
Heh! I paint warhammer and garden! Great to hear it mentioned! What do you collect?
Needed you and your mum on my paths last night, crickey mad grass weather
Same happened for me with basil I have some coming on now in poly. But I bought a plant from supermarket and split it and got 17 plants cos my own sowing keeps failing. That worked very well.👍
This was about the last place on YT I expected to have Warhammer get a mention!
Please show us your stuffed Achocha when the time comes.
I grew the smaller variety (after seeing one of your videos) for a couple of years, very prolific in a Mediterranean climate, but thought were too fiddly for stuffing. Saw the giant ones growing and they were enormous so will be interested if you find the flavour different.
Hi Jess I know what you mean about the weather. We were at my sons at sunbury on Thames from Friday to Sunday. Saturday was meant to be warm sunny and 20 degrees but the sun didn’t come out at all and was about 15 degrees. Sunday we went to Richmond park to Isabella’s plantation it was gorgeous and hot then went to pub for lunch. So I do know what you mean there in Richmond👍didn’t spot you and mum tho🤣🤣🤣
Everything looks beautiful
always enjoyable jessie
Great video again!! I have a request; could you make a video with recipes using the beloved chard?? I just don’t know enough how to cook it!
Those potatoes look great Jessie, what variety are they? They're a beautiful colour. I have got my 1st 4 raised beds in on my 1st plot and inspired by you I have sown grass around them. They look very good, I'm interested to see what kind of harvest we get (already there is a wild rabbit and flea beetle so I'm hoping they don't eat too much). Also, do brassicas only need covering at certain times of the year to protect from insects?
Jess, thank you for showing us achochia. Would love to have recipes.
Hello Jessie, Everything there is so green. We are just opening the door to the warm weather. I got about 50 brassicas transplanted outside yesterday. Still 2 weeks away from tomatoes coming out but I can start the hardening off in a week. All the potatoes are planted, garlic is up and looks so good this year best May garlic in some time. I am still sowing my onion starts everywhere here and there. Sweet potatoes, okra and peppers are about 10 days away. Time is lining up like transplant appointments on the calendar.
Hello, and you are? I am okra here to be transplanted in the garden. Oh I am so sorry you are 10 days early you will need to come back at your appointed time. OK Cya then....
I am intrigued by the Achocha plant I will definitely watch how you get on with yours and most likely order them for next year.
I am so glad your spring is going well excited to soo how the garden goes for you and mom this season. Stay safe bye for now
Watering cans are pants now. If anyone knows of a good source please let us know.
You should come to asparafest round my way! Im in the vale of evesham (Worcestershire), which is famous for asparagus. We call it 'gras', and you can have a round of gras. The Fleece Inn do loads of stuff to celebrate asparagus, youd love it. Including a mascot, Aspara Gus
Hi Jessie , do you have a vid link of the greenhouse being built at the 20:20 min mark ?
Thank you Lyn ♥️
🌈💚🍀
Where did you get that neat little drawer unit you keep your seeds in please?
After a busy work 6 weeks I am woefully behind on the plot….lots to plant out this weekend after you have inspired me to get going again! Are you going to Chelsea this year?
🤗❤🤗
Did you not get the memo that said; "never work with animals or children?"...😮
I don't recall seeing an Achocha. is it a cucumber type?
🐤
Hi jess, ... so i have a right collection in my drawer of salad leaf ..and beetroot my Q is how long can we keep these seeds b4 they are no good? 🤔 jac 👍
Jess you use your Huri Huri knife have you a link where you purchased it from
How do you cataligue and organize your seeds? I just can't get my head around it
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
Was the potato pot an ants nest because that wheel barrow looked like it was full of life on camera. My potato’s have broken through the surface, they have some beautiful leaf colour, dark green with purple, would not look out of place in a herbaceous border. Any tips for keeping the lolly stick labels more than one season (the bean labels), mine seem to last one use.
What do you stuff your achocha with and do you then roast them stuffed?
Hi Jessie, how many asparagues does one need, you'd say?
Just noticing your seed stock, how often do you check for those that might be out of date?
🌼👍👌
Hi Jessie, your plot is looking lovely. I envy your asparagus, I have grown some from seed but now need to find a permanent space for them in my small and over planted home kitchen garden.
When are you going to fly your drone,????
Hi Jessie. What is the width between your veg beds please.
Have you ever grown spinach, variety Almedia?
I'm curious if you paint the Warhammer miniatures? My chickpeas are getting much bigger now and are a interesting looking plant
damnnnnn what id give to see you working your magic in my back garden. Ya looking unreal girl
whats american cress like to eat?
where do you get horse manure from
Jessie you are going to want a lot more chick peas I promise you .there is only one or two chick peas per pod.they don't grow very tall and they taste heavenly sweet juicy fresh .you will be sad honestly
Hi Jess,
I just emailed you regarding BRAD’S ATOMIC GRAPE - you said last night you had none, but I have one for you. Growing okayish.
I have emailed you some pics and everything but I fear I am still in your dangerous email list. I will keep emailing you daily until I hear from you - hope you don’t mind
Hope I hear soon from you
'I will keep emailing you daily until I hear from you' 😂 seriously? That's unacceptable.
Very sweet how protective you are of Jessie. Let me explain, I am not harassing her: I had one replied from Jessie and I know my emails are going into her “dangerous” folder. So what I am trying to do it is to make sure it is easy for her to find my email. I just what to make sure she gets her BAG seedling.
Don’t blame you, we all love Jessie and want to look after her 🤗🤗🤗
@Gina Valcke Gina, that's absolute nonsense. Jessie doesn't need random people on youtube to protect her, I replied to you because you've done this before (more than once) and I'm calling you out, again. Have you considered the possibility that Jessie is capable of setting her own boundaries and you have (multiple times) tried to overstep in an entitled and bossy way? She's also generally insanely busy with work projects and has thousands of subscribers and emails. Your comment on this public forum, made less than 24 hours after you claim you emailed Jessie was another example of you switching forums of communication to try to get Jessie's attention and force an aknowledgement and interraction. Other subscribers have noticed and it's coming off as love bombing and controlling and it's uncomfortable to see it play out in public. Less than a year ago you spammed Jessie on multiple social network platforms to point out you'd offered tomato seedlings and hadn't received a 'no thank you' or any aknowledgement. You used the same kind of passive-aggressive language and false courtesy in that message. People who create content are busy with their own lives, work and family and friends. They may make content but their boundaries still deserve respect. They don't automatically owe anyone a reply and especially don't owe a response to manipulative public comments from people clearly trying very hard to meet them in person. It's weird and controlling behaviour, Gina.
