Drama on the Plot! And protecting the Perennial Brassicas || Plot 37 (Episode 84)

[@peterlowe4776]

Just bloody vandals with nothing better to do than destroy other people's property, well done to you and mom for overcoming this and getting on and sorting it out, glad the girlies was safe, keep up the great work.

[@Brenda-xc7sq]

I am sad and angry that your property was treated in that way but very impressed how you got on and fixed everything, it is a good thing you are so clever at building and repairs. By the way, I think your Mum is fabulous, you work so well together, what a bonus for you both.

[@robinsmith6094]

Oh, Jessie! The look on your Momma's face when she saw the shed just broke my heart. I was swearing for you. I have never understood how people can be so destructive. I love how you both recovered, took a deep breath and carried on. I love your videos so much. I'm so sorry this happened to you all.

[@Flippin_Crazy]

Yeah girl, we all were. That broke my heart too. The look on her face said it all.

[@robinsmith6094]

@@Flippin_Crazy It did, didn't it? It choked me up. The more damage I saw, the more my blood pressure rose. How anyone could get joy out if destroying things that don't belong to them is just beyond me.

If you want to borrow my twelve gauge shotgun, just let me know and it's yours.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Literally I'm so close to crying for you. Oh my goodness the heartbreak. You handled that raid like a champ.

[@neverwise]

You want to have heard explicit scottish tirade that came out my mouth when I saw the vandalism. I don't know how you kept a lid on it. The way you and your Mum got right back to work after this and also after your polyhouse was finished and then immediately vandalised is admirable.

[@jayneeburks8482]

Our gardens are our children. If they are violated so are we. I am so sorry that the world is hurting and your allotment felt that pain. I have to say you moved past it quite gracefully. So much resilience in you. Hope this next week is nothing short of stellar for all of us.

[@1990tomjones]

I am angry that people decide to treat someone else's property like that. Very impressed with your resolve and lack of swearing.

[@TjitskeG]

I really commend you and your mum for just carrying on after that! You two inspire me. 😌 And I'm glad they were too dumb to actually get in. Some people...... 🤯🤬

[@carolineholland4178]

Uuuurggghh! What a horrible experience to have to deal with. There you were with your Mum, doing the lovely stuff that you do, filming your vlog and then find that some mindless, inconsiderate person has vandalised and invaded your space. You are so right Jessie, this is a problem with people. Not the place or the level of security, it is a problem with some people. I have so much respect and admiration for the way that you both pushed on through this crisis and carried on. It must have been really hard work. I am sitting here after a 12 hour shift at work in a hospital, thinking about how much I love my allotment and how much joy it brings saying Cheers to you and your Mum! Xxxxx

[@freersam]

I cried when I saw your seedlings on the floor

[@urbsoapco5489]

Our allotment sheds were broken into this week too Jess…..grrrrrr! They were too thick to even realise that they were unlocked and still smashed off the latch. That looks like kids to me. Our stuff was stolen by a 15 year old kid who used our wheelbarrow to take everything to the gate where he could lob it over to his mates. It does taint the relaxing and restorative experience we have on our plots. Last winter a homeless person broke in and slept in one of my sheds with his dog, that didn’t bother me at all, if he’d stayed longer I was prepared to,provide warm bedding and food but he left after two nights. Chin up Jess and Jess’ mum, love you allotment, it’s so tidy and productive. Xx

[@peascarrots6829]

Oh, how utterly disappointing for you guys. Great patch up job though Jess, and love the way you girls rolled up ya sleeves to get things repaired and repotted. Glad you were able to fix things up quicksmart and that the allotment itself and more importantly, the girly-wirlies were all a-ok (and Lily). Lily is twice as round with her fluffy winter coat, she tried so hard to stay up with you and mum in this vid. Tasteless yellow bag of water and funny cameraman mum! Absolutely adore you girls. See ya Tuesday, have a grand weekend! 😆🤣😂

[@patjoyce7247]

Well done for you and your mum's resilience Jessie. A little true story that might make you smile: An old friend of mine has a nice allotment on a large council owned site near me, west Norfolk. One of his mates on the site often stays quite late in his own shed. One night he heard quite a bit of noise around 10 pm in the dark. He turned his lamp off and peeped around. From the site entrance he could see two lads trampling around plots generally vandalising and breaking into whatever shed they could. He noticed their bikes hidden in the hedge by the gate...crept back to his own shed, got a hacksaw and sawed through both their back wheels, crept back to his shed until all was quiet. Hasn't been any problems since!🙂🤐 I'm not recommending anything here of course! Just carry on doing what you do very well ladies.

[@tonydean7400]

Jessie, so sad that these brain-dead individuals exist. As you have shown, a shed door can be fixed, but sadly these idiots cannot be. Glad that they left the girlies alone. Thanks so much for sharing the ups and downs of allotment life with us. Keep smiling! :-)

[@Alecmcq]

Definition of resilient: overcome setbacks quickly.

[@anitast.9043]

So very disheartening not to mention the feeling that you have been violated. You have such a positive attitude. It is what I admire about the Brits. Sending hugs from zone 5b Canada.

[@salilsahani2721]

As you rightly said ... The Problem is with the People ... They are so THICK that they ended up destroying/damaging that which keeps them alive ... Take care and Stay safe :)

[@mudoh2131]

So distressing Jessie. Mindless vandalism for the sake of it. Have to admire the way you set to and fixed everything - a real positive example to us all. Shame about the chilli plants though. All that TLC and no heat reward. Take care of yourselves.

[@lindatoms1209]

So sorry about your shed Jessie. By the way, I love your videos - they have been so inspiring through the dark times we've been through.

[@davemansell4391]

The lack of expletives at that start of the vlog was admirable, can imagine there was a considerable amount of editing behind the scenes. It's incredible what goes through the minds of the idiots that walk among us.

[@janetanderson3773]

Cursing going on for you from SW Washington State, USA, on the vandalism to your shed and plants. Stupid people. Kudos to you and Mum for the quick fix and your eternal optimism. You are inspirational. And I love, love, love your music.

[@christinebrooks6364]

Oh Jess, that's absolutely awful for you & your Mum, so sorry this has happened! It's so upsetting to see all the damage to your allotment. 😪 good job on the temporary repair on your shed door. You have both got some great jobs done too, take care ❤

[@LadyMul]

Sorry about the nincompoops, glad they didn’t smash window and left the girls alone. Thanks for teaching us about positivity and just getting on with it. You’re refreshing and just blooming marvellous thats why I make sure I watch ads till the end ❤️

[@wendyjones4777]

I really like how you number your vlogs it makes it easy to follow them in order.

[@hilaryaitken2656]

So angry that your plot was vandalised. You are both to be admired the way you dealt with it and moved on inspiring💖

[@Hhaahland4]

I found that weather temperatures do affect the heat in the chilli. If we’ve had cool weather there is no heat to them, the ones that are produced when temps are hot are the spicy ones.

[@mikes3942]

On our site the kids breaking into sheds got so bad that we now leave them unlocked. The few that really secured their sheds well so they couldn't get broken into, had them burnt down instead. I have given up sheds entirely and now keep the tools in my Tunnel.

[@slomo1716]

I am so UPSET for you!! Bastards with absolutely NO RESPECT for other peoples property, feels like being VIOLATED!! I was a single mom and didn't always have the best neighbors and their ROTTEN CHILDREN, destroying my gardens. My heart sank, when your first showed the netting on the ground! Perhaps time to invest in a well hidden remote camera, you can watch on your phone? Somehow electrify the door? You are VERY RESOURCEFUL, fixing the door. I was in tears at the end of that day.

[@Roo-s_Life]

Aaaarrrgh!!! So so sorry to see such mindless vandalism. Good on you for keeping positive and working to put things back to how they should be and not just sitting in a heap, which must have been how you felt. Sending positive vibes 💚🌱xx

[@fordtelly6573]

How annoying and upsetting for you to have uninvited people on your plot and for them to do damage. I felt sad and angry watching it. Well done both of you for quickly doing the repairs and not dwelling on things too much. Maybe you should make a sign saying Booby Trapped! to make any future visitors think twice :o/

[@theallotmentkitchengarden3694]

So sorry about the break in. Our allotments have break ins on a regular basis so mostly plotholders don’t lock their sheds anymore. That way at least there’s no damage. Sometimes tools get taken but they seem to mostly be looking for things like strimmers rather than old spades. So often sheds are left open but nothing is missing. Very impressed with repairs, especially the painting!

[@katv1982]

So sad that happened. It makes you kinda paranoid afterwards. Glad all is ok now ❤️❤️🥀🥀

[@jorgefonseca3208]

It wasn't made by thieves, instead it was a bunch of drunk coward kids with the simple intention of destroying... Really cowards, hope Karma will take care of them sooner than later... Besides that good job on the allotment as always... Cheers Jess🥂

[@colliegardenmaintenance729]

Some people are just little Herberts. We all get the effects of such idiots in our lives once in a while. Continue to flourish and prosper Jess. You are doing a great job and deserve every success. Keep smiling Jess. 😁😁😁😁 you're a star

[@Burgyste]

I feel so sorry for the people that have caused this damage, they must have had a very bad childhood, to destroy other people's property and that without a plausable reason, there is something wrong in our system.

[@linpulver2106]

Those lovely mushrooms are honey fungus. Unfortunately it spreads underground to living trees and kills them. We have lost every tree in our garden, including apples , pears. and greengage. Impossible to eradicate.

[@ashleyrobinson7989]

[@hopesprings7812]

How much rage the pillock must have in their teeny tiny little brain, quite scary that there are people who feel they can do such damage and not care. Sorry this happened to you x

[@annlyder8657]

What a shame Jessie. I was advised not to keep anything of value in the allotment shed and not to lock the door when I took on my plot last year to prevent damage from idiots looking for stuff to steal. I feel for you both

[@debbiecarne1927]

Really sorry about the damage on your plot. Our allotment was also targeted this weekend and poly tunnels were slashed. People are such knobs. Glad the girlies are okay.

[@GwladYrHaf]

Our allotment was also broken into last week, sheds broken into, some tools taken, chain and lock taken to not leave prints. There are some low morality people around.

[@geecee358]

Hi Jessie, everyone else has said everything that there is to say about the pea brains that broke in. Well done with the DIY. I like the use of the plastic pipe for the cage frames. I have a walk in fruit cage (Gardening Naturally) that I put up about 3 years ago. Where I am is more exposed than your plot and the first autumn/winter I was forever having to tie it to stakes etc because the wind was doing everything it could to destroy it. I use butterfly netting and it is surprising what wind resistance it has. The wind was also ripping it where I had fixed it to the frame. I take the roof netting off over winter just in case it snows as snow is heavy and could destroy the frame - not that we have had any but it’s something to be aware of. Keeeep vlogging😉

[@gardeningforcatlovers39]

Seeing you go through that upset was saddening. Seeing how you both dealt with it, put it behind you and just got on with things was inspiring. So glad the girls were OK.

[@tamararoberts9307]

Exactly smh

[@damonlanglois642]

It is sickening when something like this happens. I don’t understand why anyone would think this behaviour is acceptable - made me swear! Anyway glad there wasn’t too much damage or much stolen and that you got it sorted quickly.

[@penguinoni8941]

What do these eejits think will be in a garden shed? I guess they were after tools to break-in somewhere else but it looks like all yours were still there thank Goth! Glad the Girlies and Lily were OK too.

So sorry to see the damage those plonkers caused. Glad you were able to salvage some of your seedlings and mend your shed door. I believe the mushrooms in the cemetery are called Honey Fungus - Armillaria mellea.

[@janettehoyles8485]

First thing I thought about when you went into your plot was the Girlies and Lil. Thank goodness they were all ok. Love the tubular frames. I have 3 hooped raised beds that are taking up a lot of room, thinking your frames are less permanent and more versatile. Hugs to you all

[@lilal3753]

Oh no!! I am so sad for you. You work so hard and someone comes along. . . . . well, they will get theirs. The girls are safe. That's what is important.

[@madhatter61]

Just waiting for them to do their annual visit to us. I caught them a couple of years ago. Irish accents. Police took 50 minutes to turn up, in that time they'd took an 80pound site sprayer , had a cheap on the car park whilst I watched and waved goodbye to me.

[@moboz77]

Unbelievable wanton destruction. My first worry was for the girliewhirlies. They whoever they are - have no idea the amount of work and effort goes into these seedlings, and your property, and bits of your heart. You are very resilient well done ❤

[@marcwhaley390]

[@mikeybyrne5806]

That sucks Jessie. We have regular break ins at our site. We’ve learned though to never lock our sheds or gates, they always target them ones first and the locked ones are the only ones that get any damage. We keep ours unlocked and don’t leave anything in them that’s in any way valuable. that way if someone comes along looking for an easy steal they can have a quick glance in your shed and move on. I know it goes against all instincts but allotment sites are remote so thieves can and will happily make as much noise as they want smashing up a shed just to take a look inside. Locks are no deterrent at all sadly.

[@cazzaa4982]

Like you said Jessie, they weren't the shiniest tools in the box?! Most importantly, the girly girls were okay. Well done to you and you Mum, nice repair work. Keep smiling 😁

[@Colinking2127]

Completely feel for you. So disrespectful I used to have a couple of plots in South Yorkshire but gave them up because of lack of support from the local authorities after have the shed robbed and my chicken slaughtered. It is so disheartening after so much hard work

[@finnroohomebrewing]

I'm a novice chilli grower and remember reading that over watering chillies affects the heat. My chillies are in pots in a poly tunnel and they are tricky to water right. Letting the soil dry out a bit so the leaves just start to wilt and then water them. Some varieties arnt very hot . Birdseye and Habanero are the business. Good luck.😎👍

[@RichWoods23]

One other possibility is fertilisation. If the flowers are primarily being fertilised by another plant than a one flowering during the first flush of fruit, or are now self-fertilised, you might get different results.

[@finnroohomebrewing]

@@RichWoods23 yeah it's a minefield of issues. Today I went to a local garden centre with an issue and turns out that compost in pots isn't great. They needed a boost of magnesium etc . Also some tomato liquid fertilizer. I thought compost and worm tea were all good. But apparently they need minerals not found in compost . So I've feed them and hopefully yellow leaves will disappear and growth will increase. Cheers here's to learning.😎👍

[@tonyworrall7379]

You are right..Jessie...it's a problem with people. So sorry.

[@karenwright2444]

Oh lordy! The same thing happened to me, no tools stolen but my shed door was kicked it and the fleece was unrolled. I was a newbie to an allotment, all the lovely old lottie boys said it happens from time to time .... apparently its the local homeless looking for a warmer dryer place to stay over night during the winter. They rarely break windows as they want snug and cosy. I'm sure they see by the moonlight which sheds are the best... hot drinks, warm fleece in them. So sad for you 😪

[@liamcoote6178]

Sorry about your shed "idiots". Great covers for the brassica bed.

[@eakooffire]

I leave my dahlia stalks as we’re further north - it makes a sealed tube rather than an open straw, and overwintering bugs can hide inside. Plus you can tell if the dahlia bulb is rotten or firm by gently tugging the stem - if it stays attached the tuber is still firm

[@MaggiSeer]

Its a horrible feeling of violation when you are burgled. You dont feel safe, you become more vigilant about people and it errodes your trust in people. I'm sorry you had to experience that. I'm so glad my "allotment" is on the land surrounding my home. Where it is less likely we would have random people come round and vandalise the place. My little terrier "Lady" lets us know of any visitors. Tomatoes -- I was in the garden this morning taking off the lower leaves and picking out the laterals - I have 6 varieties this year, 3 are new. Little over a week ago they were looking sad because we had, had so much rain they were drowning and then this last week we have hit the early 30 deg C. I reckon Summer has come early or its going to be a long hot dry Summer.

[@paulahughes6031]

Awww I really felt for you both . Some people have no respect for other people property. It was so good to see you get stuck in to all the repairs 👍 your so gifted in fixing things Jess .

[@MaryBornforHealth]

We had our home broken into by neighborhood teens and it leaves you feeling quite violated. It also disrupts your desire to trust the good in people. You have to rearrange your thinking to know that this event is a small negative in an otherwise good world of people who are caring and loving. Sorry that you have to go through this. Thankfully nobody was hurt,

[@andersonomo597]

Vandalism is the very dark side of humans - and I hope karma bites those bastards really hard. Just glad they didn't do far more damage like to your girlies or the polytunnel or the glasshouse! You both handled it well despite how very upsetting it is. And Jessie - you need a 3lb club hammer! They're not expensive (about 7-8 quid) but it makes bashing in stakes a breeze compared to a carpentry hammer and it's great for heaps of other jobs. Cheers back from Oz!
