Nice little "tea machine" 😄My hands don't hurt when they get cold, but it does feel like they stay cold for longer than I want. I'm more of a coffee person, but I agree that it is nice to warm the hands on a warm cup of tea/coffee! Oh, go Sweden selling those towers! 💪Haha secret seed box! And thanks fro the garlic reminder. Got one from the store and figured I'd give it a go, but I haven't gotten around to planting mine either 😊

Your swelling hands when you touch cold things is probably some sort of auto immune issue. Some people even break out in hives if they go from hot to cold or cold to hot too quickly.

Might seem like a silly question but how safe is it to use cardboard in the soil? Does the ink that is used to print things on the cardboard cause contamination? Thanks. I'm realy enjoying your videos and we just got the key to our first allotment.

Exactly what I have in my shed and it stays there all year round

Yes having a kettle in your shed is the ultimate allotment luxury, it's great isn't it? In my shed I have a nail to hang my long handled tools so that when I am leaving the allotment I can check I have put them all back in their place - I find it works for me because usually I am not the tidiest person. Without that little system things would be all over the place. It may not work for you because you probably have many more tools than I do. Also I think you look happier - so don't put yourself under pressure to release videos - just do them when you feel like it. Your audience will still be here. Hope you had a great Christmas. 😊

ok my back and shoulders are very sore just from watching this

Hi JB. Love watching your videos. 😅 You are just a big kid with pressies 😅. Love it. Re lighting your shed, might be an idea to paint interior white. My daughter painted exterior of her shed pale green, looked good. Also, I would suggest a folding picnic table instead of that decorating table, they tend to become unstable, won't take too much weight. Your excitement is catching, I must clean out my greenhouse. Those Quadgrows look interesting, could be an improvement on my grobag. Hope you enjoyed Christmas. Looking forward to next year. Happy growing.❤🎉

I echo the no lock idea personally, locked shed says something worth stealing !...and they bolt cutter/ force them off . I went through 4 expensive locks for this lesson and have had nothing stolen since doing without !

wow green stalks are my favourite ❤❤❤❤❤❤ i am on number 2 and I want to get more ❤❤❤❤

Hery JB, Merry Christmas to you both 🎄

Happy Christmas JB 🎄

I love winter gardening it's so peaceful

Thanks for a brilliant video JB, you've really got your garden mojo back in this one! Thanks also for showing off your GreenStalk and adding our links, I've already shared it with people on my groups. Hope you and Jess have a fabulous Christmas and New Year, and hope Father Christmas brings you a hip flask - a tot of whiskey in those shed-made brews will go down a treat in this weather 🥃☕🎄🎁🌻

Love that you put one last video out for us before the end of the year! Thank you for bringing us along. Always enjoy seeing your enthusiasm and your gardens!

Getting this excited about making tea at the allotment is the most British thing I have ever seen 😂 Happy holidays, JB

Great content as usual JB. Enjoy your time off and all the best to you and yours. Here's to the new season!

Merry Christmas to you and Jess! I have a greenstalk and grew strawberries. You are going to love it!

Hi JB, we have had the very same camping stove for quite a few years, and we would be lost without it. Get yourself a cheap frying pan & small pan. Love watching Jessie cooking lunch for her and her mum, too. it's just great. Eli & Kate, another KZbin channel i follow, have fot those too, and they are brilliant! Lovely plot tour, lots of plans for your next season, too. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Your hand thing might be Raynaud's. It's quite common. Merry Christmas!

I hope you and Jess have Have a peaceful Christmas and here's to successful 2025 growing season. Haydn

Merry Xmas

You might want to check the paint cans for the lowest temperatures for storage. You would probably be safer to store it at home. Love seeing the joy on your face with your shed and tea. Merry Christmas!🎄

Thanks for the video!

That's the one thing i miss in not having the allotment now. Making a cuppa in the shed. I so get your excitement 😂. When you stood in the doorway with your mug, i don't think you could have looked any happier. Hope you and Jess have a lovely Christmas 😊

i,m buzzing off your buzzing. good to see !! have a great christmas

theres so many people with framed beds rather than raised beds . i think its all down to it seeming like a good idea til you realise the cost of filling them. my huge raised beds frame is rotten... roof trusses of my fav pub thats now flats . irreplaceable i,m thinking.

no offence but you,d not catch me moving compost from one bag to another in another location, only to need to move it again to a final destination. if at all possible not to. your going yo end up like popeye with big muscles . but your allotment will look great . good work

Perhaps you should just set up your camera on a tripod while working and then edit and talk over the edited film, that way you can speed bits up or cut bits as you think fit.

There are also wheels that go on the bottom of the base.

I don’t like dalek composters, I’ve cut mine in half to use for raised carrot beds. Pallet bays definitely make much better compost quicker.

That potato plant looks fine. I’m sure you will have Christmas spuds!

If I'm going to be on the plot for a large part of the day, I take a small frying pan, some bacon and a bread roll. Tastes so much better in the plot somehow 😊

Your cold hands sound like it could be this, en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raynaud_syndrome

It’s brilliant being able to make a fresh coffee. I totally agree with the lock on the shed. I don’t lock mine. If it’s broken into they will make more damage if it’s locked. Plus a lock just screams value. Great update

Shed looks great that's what I need

You could make a soup there on a cold winter day to make you feel warmed up

Great to see you so excited about a simple thing, those stoves are absolutely brilliant…..endless tea now! Happy Christmas to you and your Jessie, have a great break. Thanks for all you videos.

Iv'e seen the greenstalk planter on Ivan's caravan container growing. They look pretty neat. He has grown so much produce in it since starting it up this year. I can't remember now how much compost he said it took, but it was a lot. Exciting having lots of new prezzies to open. fabulous! Wishing you & jess a merry Christmas and a happy new Year. Happy growing 🙂

Merry Christmas and good luck for your allotment next season from NZ. Summer here.

Fred Good work te Tour the December jo the Greenhouse thans the video Top weekend happy Crismas fried 🧢🦺🧤☕️🎄🎁🎋🎇🥂🌤

Merry Christmas JB and Jess, hope 2025 is a great one!

yay, you're back!

Merry Christmas to you and Jess. Looking to forward to seeing you starting your Chillies .

Funny, you reminded me today of when I worked at grocery store years ago. At that time the meat was still cut and wrapped in the meat department at the store and I remember the Cutters (usually men) and Wrappers (usually women) all had very large puffy hands working in the refrigerated cold all day with no gloves. It must be a thing!?! Happy 2025 to you and the subscribers here.

Merry Christmas 🙏🙏🥳🥳🎅🎅

I’ve had mine(greenstalk) for two years after Eli got hers lol they’re great. I have three of them now ❤

JB congrats on your Green Stalk and yes having the rolling caster’s was the correct choice. I have turnips, rutabagas, lettuce planted in mine during the fall/winter season. Happy Gardening 🧑‍🌾 from Southern California.

Your brussels sprouts are actually better than mine, JB. Looking forward to seeing how it goes in 2025!

I have the same stove, kettle and dry powered milk, even a metal coffee cafeteria. 😮love it.

Glad to see you as excited as a child! Merry Christmas JB!
