Growing vegetables in the Sunshine, what a nice way to spend the week. I've been so busy recently but the time i'm able to spend up at the allotment has been so relaxing.
I plant out the Cavolo Nero that we picked up last week and give the glass Greenhouse a good wash down ready for summer. And then i get to spend the whole afternoon sat in the grass sowing seeds. I'm slowly catching up with my sowing schedule!
We also take a little trip up the Thames on the ferry from Richmond to Hampton Court Palace.
On Saturday i get to spend another whole day pottering in the garden with the sunshine and Lily and the Hens. I sow the first of this years carrots and what a surprise... pick more asparagus!

I want to share with you a memory you sparked in my family. You bought candies at a garden store. That was what my family remembers as "Grandmom Candy" My grandmother Ellen Rodden immigrated to Philadelphia USA in the 1920s married and had 3 children. My mother had 8 children Whenever we went to visit Grandmom she gave us a peice of THAT candy! I have an old tin and a tin from visiting Ireland and Now I have ,via Amazon, this new tin of Sweets! Thank you so much for sparking a wonderful memory.

Greenhouse spa day! Hydrotherapy and a sauna…😁

[@sans0m]

Hugs for bionic mum in training. Nothing worse than pain all the time. Do send some sun up North nothing but strong wind and cloudy skies. Roll on Jubilee weekend for g n t down the plot 😉

[@andrewducker4753]

It's so great gardening; breathing fresh air, getting a suntan and wearing whatever we like, or nothing at all in my back garden veg patch. Time almost stands still as we sow, prune and harvest. Love your sense of humour and smiles, making Tuesdays special.

[@thelandofmint]

You would look pretty in a sack, beautiful lady. Hope your mum gets better soon. 💕😚

[@yvonnay8904]

Hope your mom gets the attention she needs quickly, and feels better soon.

[@annescott6137]

🙋hi from Scotland hi Jessie thank you so much for an other fun filled vidio sorry to hear your wee mum is in pain I hope she gets her hip done soon think I will have to move down south as you get better weather than Scotland we have been getting really cold winds and loads of bloody rain the weather her is awful 😞 don't know when it will settle and we can get a bit of heat your allotment is looking amazing I managed to get all my leeks in the ground yesterday I grew them from seed but not putting out anything else still it's warmer as the nights are so cold ,I loved the wee trip on the river looks amazing enjoy the flower show till next time take care cheers 🍷 Anne from Scotland ☔☔☔

[@esthergermain2628]

Regards to mum……wishing her well🌹🌻

[@kathyroberts5870]

Jessie at Plot 37 I'm in the USA love your videos . This said this was posted 6 days ago so here goes I tried something new that I thought was crazy but it made sense .I took a 1/2 gal mason jar filled it almost 3/4 full of lukewarm water ,added 2 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tbsps of active dry yeast ,set it aside to bloom then added it to a bucket and filled with water and watered my plants .Almost overnight it looked like they had grown 2 inches . The trick is it adds active good bacteria to your soil . I gave tomato plants to a neighbor and mine are twice the size of his.

[@carolg5800]

Thank you. The video was very relaxing. Hoping for the best for your Mom.

[@annaking9213]

The boat ride was beautiful.

[@rubiccube8953]

Great you have hit 18K subscribers you deserve more.

[@lynnpurfield9430]

Aww, hope your mum gets her appointment soon, there are such long waiting lists everywhere and hip problems can be excrutiatingly painful.

[@rebeccahughes722]

When I lived in Surrey I used to go from Kingston to Richmond... jump off at the pub for lunch... such a beautiful stretch of river xx

[@marksallotmentplot]

Hope your mum is feeling better soon. The allotment is looking great and the riverboat cruise looked like just the job for a nice sunny day like that

[@jennymarshall7939]

It looks lovely! Hope your mum gets better soon. BTW geese have goslings (ducks have ducklings). But you knew that, right 🙂

[@andrewwilkinson3766]

Cheers Jessie. Enjoyable as always. Hope mum improves soon.

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

I’d like to see more of London if you ever have the time ❤️🦄👍🏼🌻

[@sowenchantedirishkitchenga8282]

Enjoying catching up sweetheart 💚 I was away on holiday and the WiFi was 🤪 the weather there is beautiful 💚

[@lilal3753]

It's not the destination. It's the journey. Thanks for bringing us cool places.

[@rebeccazody1278]

Love the boat trip.

What a perfect tonic after a really busy day -watching this was so cathartic! Thank you. so behind too. but nevermind what will be......

[@Doctorwankinstein.]

Tuesday's are my favourite day of the week. Awesome video as usual. ❤️🌻🌼🌷🌺

[@berylhunter7509]

I hope your Mum gets her hip seen too, I am currently 1 day post op from 2nd hip replacement! My carrot sowing tip is to sow 6inch wide rows, cover the rows with potting compost followed by wind break netting or a 6inch board to keep the moisture in after watering.

[@johndeakin4653]

Good show Jessie. See you on Tuesday night with Tony show John from Scotland x

[@seanjamescameron]

Looks wonderful, never been to Hampton Court outside of the flower show, will have to add a boat trip to my list.

[@druszaj]

Some metal mesh hammered in with staples on the greenhouse floor should stop the rodent problem.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hello love, I do hope Mom is getting on and her appt gets her some answers and a plan. The garden does look so nice. Do you still have 3 chickens I keep seeing only 2 at a time. Do not fret about the shirt I am older than you and I have the same shirt in the closet and it is often a garden shirt for me. The ferry ride was real nice to see the local activity thank you for that. Now for next week on Tuesday I will be looking forward to the Tony C Smith Show Esp since you will be on the program! I will be sure to say Hi to you there! Have a blessed week take care bye for now

[@helenhawkins4054]

What a joy your videos are. It’s has become such a favourite part of my week.👍🤗💐✅

[@clairebridges1594]

Wishing your mum well, it's so frustrating when pain stops you being able to garden and limits your mobility. Great video, enjoy Chelsea!😁

[@lindixie5624]

Lovely video Jessie. Hope your Mum gets the treatment she needs & can get back to the allotment with you soon.

[@carollloydjones5735]

Even the music relaxes me 😊

[@BettyandtheBees]

There's a full eco system living on those broad beans!!! Hope Chelsea was fab, I'm muchly jealous!

Loving your youtube - Lazy housewife beans I tried first time last year - juicy and tender!!

[@plotattheyard5437]

You went to Chelsea on the Monday?! Wow! You are gardening royalty now and totally deserved! 🤩 Btw I lost every single tomato, pepper & snapdragon too! 😭

[@tangocat4370]

Love it! You’re the best!

[@stuartallen8310]

it helps when you can cook and make the full use of your produce a lovely little setup

[@tamararoberts9307]

Praying for your mum 🙏 ❤️ My housework has become minimal all Spring for I am addicted to being outside gardening all day everyday. If it weren't for stormy days I wouldn't get any housework done I'm afraid lol Another great vlog Jesse 👍 I love watching you work on the plot. It's very beautiful. I always grow touchon carrots 🥕 too. Cheers ❤️

[@Nicktgrief]

Tomato pox ... you'll have to Isolate for 14 days and drink lots of wine 🤣 I found some 10 year old bean seed in my greenhouse this week ... so I've sown some to see if they come up.

[@cordulafischer6089]

I always love, when you take us somewhere and I keep this boat trips in my mind, when I come to London next time. I have been to the Chelsea flower show for a whole day 4 years ago. It was hot, I always moved in a crowd and it was so exciting, it gave me so many inspirations, this mixture of feelings is still vivid to me. Best wishes to your mom. I understand she is waiting for a hip replacement, waiting for an operation when you need it so much is very hard.

[@lynnpurfield9430]

I did a cruise holiday on the Thames years ago and it is still the best holiday of all holiday memories...such beauty and tranquility. Loved seeing the river with you Jessie, thank you.

[@judithchiasson8554]

Plot 37 is an actual slice of paradise. I love how you appreciate that, and life, and especially sunshine!! : ) I hope Mum gets well super dooper fast!!!

[@stephen12264]

Jessie how is your mom? What happened if you don't mind telling me. I got to harvest one of my buckets of first early potatoes today and they were awesome. I went ahead and planted a second round of radishes about a week ago and I can't get over how fast they came up and grow. I'm not going to plant main crop potatoes this year I want to use the containers to grow more tomatoes so I can make tons of salsa tomato juice and tomato sauce. I'm sorry it took me so long to write you but my wife is not doing good at all Jessie. She is in the last stage of copd . It absolutely breaks my heart to see her in the state she is in. I promised her years ago that I would never have her put into a nursing home and I have managed to keep this promise. I'm sorry but I have tears now. She has been my entire world to me. I live to hear her call me to come help her lol.

[@Alis-Nicola]

I find your vlogs so calming and meditative..45ish mins of pure relaxation, especially with the wonderful music too. So a BIG thank you from me. x

[@kathwhitehead9012]

Concerning your broody chicken, it's the fake egg that's making her broody. Because it's in there all the time, she thinks she has to hatch it out. Try removing it, as your girls will now know where they're meant to lay. Hope this helps. X

[@carollloydjones5735]

Gardeners World Jessie style! Love it! Can't wait for Chelsea! Cheers Jessie 🥂

[@garyclifton2180]

Nice video as always Jess hope all goes ok with mum enjoyed the boat ride amazing not sure about you being alone on plot listening to murder mysteries you nutter lol love the cat and girls love how they come running when you shake the tin brill stuff take care xx

[@michelleadams2997]

Love your vids, hope the showings work out ok x

[@0ldred]

36:00 when I was living in Sydney in 2001 there was an old poster on the wall in the digs where I stayed for a few months. Kevin and Perry go large. Jessie goes large at plot 37 😂

[@sowenchantedirishkitchenga8282]

Sorry to hear about your mums hips 😢 hope it get sorted soon x

[@mudoh2131]

Loved the boat ride. Your asparagus is amazing the veg that goes on giving - good use of the hori hori knife too! Hope your Mum is on the mend and back in action very soon. I would so much rather be at the allotment than Waitrose!

[@carlsmith7240]

Lovely vlog once again Jessie, your girlies are better trained than my dogs 😄 have a fabulous week. Cheers

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Jessie, enjoyed River boat would love to experience a stay in the canal boat homes. Blessings to your Muma. Allotment is looking fantastic. Take care stay safe Thankyou Ontario Canada 🐝🇨🇦

[@jamiemittermuller6470]

I clean mine twice a year, when putting the insulation up and then when I take it down. It’s a job I never look forward to but when I’ve started I enjoy and it looks amazing when it’s done. I just bought some citrus cleaner and hose attachment to scrub the windows and frame. It’s been a slow year for me this year. Hopefully will get my dahlias, cannas into the garden, to make room for my aubergine, peppers, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes in my greenhouse. To be honest I need more hours in the day. Tip for your trays: use clay leca , its just brilliant! Plant roots will grow into it if you ‘forget’ to pot them on, can be reused each year

[@rozellabrooks1131]

Hope your mom gets better soon. Relaxing cruise on the water. Great vlog as always. Looking forward to seeing pics from Chelsea. Have a wonderful time.

[@susanwood8086]

Jessie, i think the girlies are getting wise to the treat tin , they are starting to realise that the tin means lock up ! Thank you for another beautiful video. Hope mum is sorted out soon. Sue x

[@penguinoni8941]

Hope your mammy feels better soon Jess 🙂

[@cherienaera3751]

Lovely vlog to wake up to. I'm just on a dahlia spree collecting them over winter.

[@stevendowden2579]

what a lovely video jess

[@Lisa.Gypsy.C]

I enjoyed everything about this vlog Jess! Could not watch yesterday because we have rolling black outs (loadshedding) here in South Africa and our electricity was out. Hope mum's hip gets sorted soon, give her my best wishes - look forward to your next vlog x

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Jessie I love those poppies in your polytunnel, it looks like a painting! I'm still behind too with the sowing, but trying to catch up. Well done doing all that. Loved the video as always.

[@neverwise]

The deal that includes HCP is with the Historic Royal Palaces membership. It includes entry to about 5 places for a year and I think you get 15 months for the price of 12 just now. I don't work for them but I have a ticket to see Jodie Comer in Prima Facie for 15th June and had looked into coming to London for a few days and hitting all the hotspots which is why I know about the deal for the palaces. I've never done Hampton Court or the Tower so I was gonna cram so, so much into a short trip. BUT I'm not going to go to London now. Boooo. You can have my ticket to the Jodie Comer play if you want, it's just going to get wasted anyway and it's front row (although I only have 1 ticket as I was going myself like a total Nigel!). Anyway, I love wee Lily cat so much. Allotment looks fab, and it does seem like the water works could have caused the issue with the toms and the basil at your home Jessie. I wonder if you could find out for sure somehow?

[@smokiejoe7631]

Hope all you're restart catch up and get you back on track.

[@Jimsraisedbedgarden]

Love the update Jessie , excellent as usual , bit worried about your mum hopefully she will get sorted soon and returns to good health , tell her I am asking after her and to take care , that goes for you too and I am looking forward to seeing you on the Live Chat with Tony & Steve next week 😀 x

[@derekprice7747]

Glad to know you're behind on your greenhouse cleaning. That makes two of us! You've inspired me to do mine later. Luckily I've already started my tomatoes & cucumbers off and I've still got six hanging baskets tosort out. Again I've already grown lobelias, violas, and petuniars inhouse.

[@katec9893]

I've just been offered a plot so I'm watching your channel for inspiration. It's very overgrown but has a lot of potential. Your allotment looks beautiful. I love how you've laid out your beds and the arches. Are the grass paths hard to maintain with mowing and weeds? Are you doing the no dig method? Also what size is your plot? By the way if you can I highly recommend buying some flamingo pink chard seeds for incredibly fuschia pink stemmed chard. Also since you mentioned the pronunciation Chioggia is pronounced 'kee-oja.' In Italian, ch = k sound and an 'i' or an 'e' after a 'g' creates a je sound.

[@janenewley6539]

Yay…chioggia like chianti😀😀😀jinxy

[@janenewley6539]

Yes…water pipe work sounds likely…it did sound like something in the water….

[@MorningsattheAllotment]

😍 I enjoyed that video so much (well, I always do LOL) - that ferry ride is just my kind of thing, must look into whether it still makes sense as late in the season as I'll be there. So you think it's a good time to sow chard right now? I don't usually restart until around July (afraid of bolting during the summer), but your climate is similar to ours and if you - the chard lover par excellence - think it's fine, I might try it as well... My beans are still waiting to go in - I will be away for a week soon and I don't want cropping during that time, so I'm later than usual. Your unidentified one would be Merveille de Venise (a pole bean, can be eaten fresh/mangetout)

[@liamcoote6178]

Great video Jessie. Any advice on what plants to incorporate into my pond to attract dragonflies.

[@chrisstanley4405]

Awww Love Lils so much, I feel like I am behind too but got a week off soon to catch up. Love the neon nail varnish, going to get a neon orange to do mine!

[@hamishhortic9739]

Great vlog @Jessie

[@annwright2433]

Have you planted all the stuff that you had under grow lights? Regarding the tomatoes have you tested the compost you were growing in? i would have thought it would have been the port of call.

[@juliehale9491]

Hi Jessie I wonder if you have any idea what my pest problem is please. Every time I put my peppers in my poly tunnel something starts snacking on them. It starts at the base of the pepper where it joins the stem there is a hole or even a trench chewed out of the actual pepper near the seeds. Last year I never noticed it until I moved the pepper which was stunted and saw the hole I opened up the pepper to see if I could catch the culprit but all I found was black seeds. This year I managed to catch it before the seeds shrivelled and went black I’m thinking that something is laying it’s eggs among the seeds for when they hatch and why I can’t catch it is because the pest has left the eggs behind and I’m never around to catch the little buggers hatching. I haven’t got enough gardening books with pest disease’s in it so maybe among your many books you might find out which is bugging me 🦟 🙏🏻

[@lucycolwell949]

a shrimp flush maybe im so behind vbroke my arm, tr ying to catch up,so hard love lucy

[@paulinemorris5186]

I sowed parsnips weeks ago and so far nothing. I've put in a couple more rows yesterday. I'm growing fat baby achocha as well this year and they are growing really fast. how do you use them? I really hope your mum gets attention soon, nothing worse than constant pain.

Sorry about your mum. Get her to take some cbd oil just to help her relax and hopefully make her feel a bit better. What is the issue with her joints exactly?

[@tulle7358]

Did I see wrong or was there just 2 Girlies when you let them back in? Did something happen to the third?? Oh no!!! Later in I see all 3 girlies - all is well, thank god 🙏❤️🙏

[@juliehale9491]

Why don’t you put your asparagus shoots in your dehydrater for soup nice cream of asparagus soup maybe even add mushrooms yum 🤤 Where’s your Neem oil for the black fly although your ladybirds are doing great.

Greenhouse gets a bath once a year on it's birthday whether it needs it or not. Your garden is looking GREEN EDIT: And why 480p?

[@Pixieworksstudio]

a poor guy on the FB allotment page said somebody broke into where he got his compost and sprayed it all with something. just a thought :). They did refund him, but he lost the lot.

[@anjkovo2138]

👍😀👍🌻🌷🌼🥂

[@sugarbomb26]

HI Jessie, love your video's but wanted to know why the video quality has been so low in the past few video's. The most I could set the quality to was 480p...

[@ginavalcke8162]

Let’s try again…. Last week I left a comment here, I also posted in your Instagram page and emailed you, offering some tomato cuttings (some of the varieties you were growing) and I have failed a response. I thought of not saying anything else, but I would have resented every time I watch your videos and I don’t want to stop watching your videos because they make me happy. I know technology could have played against me, and perhaps I would be criticised by my fellow followers because they like you a lot. Honestly, don’t feel obliged to accept the cuttings (you might have a mountain of offers already) but it would be nice to at least to get a “no thank you”.

[@neverwise]

Jessie always has a backlog of emails as she's so busy and her Mum isn't 100% fighting fit right now, so I really don't think you should take that personally or presume that youve been snubbed. She probably won't even have read your messages yet so resenting the lack of response and leaving a public complaint about this is a bit off.
