First Frost of the Winter! And unearthing a great pot of Fails! Ep242 || Plot 37

[@juliehartley3652]

Hi Jessie, great video as usual. I was intrigued about your varieties of sweet potatoes and so looked back to episode 213. I found it almost straight away. You grew Erato Violet (the prolific one) and Orleans. Hope you had a lovely holiday.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Thank you so much Julie... i'm such a wally.

[@juliehartley3652]

@@JessieatPlot37 We all make mistakes, I wanted some chocolate mint seeds and I ordered coleus by mistake - it was chocolate mint variety - so now I have a lovely little coleus growing. I later ordered some chocolate mint as well after I realised that what was growing was not actually what I had intended.

[@sunnycapel9737]

Put the almost sweet potatoes in some compost indoors and have some plants for next year

[@acornhomestead3575]

I have one sweet potato that's sprouting. Think I'll try that!

[@JessieatPlot37]

thats what i'm thinking. I've tried slips before so will give that a go!

[@i12cook]

First of all forget all your growing and plants etc... can I just say you have the most beautiful eyes. Your videos are quite relaxing to

[@ebxo269]

I used to put all my leaves in the chicken run and grass cuttings, and they used to turn it into nitrogen rich compost , then spread over the garden..lovely stuff... great compost makers, just put in heaps and they spread it out..

[@ChantalBrooks-g5e]

Just have to say I love the beginning of the video, with the sped up drive through the grave yard. Thought your mum was in grand theft auto at first 😉😉x

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahahahahha! :D that really made me laugh

[@margaretalice6343]

So wonderful to see blue skies & sunshine Jessie . I’m in grey bleak Northumberland 😢. Sun makes us all smile 🤩

[@JessieatPlot37]

hopefully the sunshine has found you now Margaret!

[@stevendowden2579]

the sun made me really happy watching it well done jessie

[@JessieatPlot37]

Ah, i'm really glad. It made me happy too!!

Friday evening…and a visit to plot 37….joy😀😀😀

My Dad always used to say “yum, yum, pig’s bum”….but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else say it😀😀😀😀😀

[@TeresaEdwards-kw3np]

I was going to give up on sweet potatoes but now I'm thinking about your variety.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Which ones have you tried before?

[@TeresaEdwards-kw3np]

@@JessieatPlot37 I don't know the name. I buy organic and we only have 2 choices, an orange or more yellow white. I get the orange. This summer I think I crowded and they needed more time ,like you said with yours our season was like yours.

[@lynnpurfield9430]

I lived in Torquay from age 19 to 41 years old. Then moved to Wales in 2001.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Ah, its a gorgeous place Lynn! Such a shame the seafront/town centre is struggling so much.

[@lynnpurfield9430]

The sweet potato harvests you all got in such a rubbish year has encouraged me to have a go next year. Wonder if I can source the purple ones. Missed you on Potty Mouth Jess xx

[@JessieatPlot37]

Yeah, i was oddly not demoralised by the lack of harvest because like you say... gives me hope that on a good year we might get a good harvest!

[@HollyMaysGoodLife]

Hello new subscriber here!!! Lots of ASMR going on in this vid, very calming and centring getting all that clearing done with the lovely music too! ❤

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Jessie and your Mum, beautiful sunny days are the best! Especially in the winter, at least you can wrap up and still do lots of jobs on the plot. I've been to my plot today, all wrapped up, and it was gorgeous, sun shining, nice hit cuppa and a potter ❤ it is a great time of year to get a new plot. Torquay is beautiful! Have a wonderful holiday. Another great video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@JessieatPlot37]

Nothing like winter sun, is there?! :D

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝 Thanks for the great video 🌻

[@JessieatPlot37]

:D thank you!

[@myrustygarden]

Sweet potato 🍠 fries already cut 😂😂. I have a few new things for you to try next season but we have a postal strike 😂 so you’re safe for now. Have a fab week say hi to mom, Ali 🥶🥶☔️🇨🇦

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahahah, yeah, saves on the chopping! ooooh, thats exciting!

[@wendycullingworth3879]

2 tips for your sweet potatoes Jess..... 1...don't peel the skinny ones😂😂 2 ...pop one of each in a pot of compost and see if you can get them to sprout at home.🌿 Have a super-duper hols....

[@JessieatPlot37]

:D i'll definitely be giving the peeler a rest! And yeah, i think i will give them a go as starters :D

[@BettyandtheBees]

Crikey the size of Halley!! Seems just yesterday you had this wee fluff ball.

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

i plant my sweet potatoes in large pots like you have with the rope handles 2 plants only

[@JessieatPlot37]

yeah, i had just the two plants in that pot. think it was just a bad summer!

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

@JessieatPlot37 need Lotta heat

[@__Shellspace__]

my hot lemons i had tons of green ones left , so i picked them anyway and strung up to dry out and they turned yellow as the dried and are now chopped up in a jar and smell amazing!!! not sure if it works for all chillies but worth a try rather then leaving any green ones to the frost

[@JessieatPlot37]

i'm hoping mine will do the same! I think i've left them as long as i possibly can so they'll be coming in green this week!

[@Cloud9Allotment]

10:37 Have you got an exciting project planned for July? 👀 or am I reading too much into that comment 🤣

[@smellslikedirt525]

Beauregard is a great sweet potato. (probably what you find at the Whole Foods store.- it is what most sweet potato farms in my area ship to Europe ) I grow them more for the leaves that are great in a stir fry when young and tender. I also grow my sweet potato's vertically because here in NC they will send runners everywhere and take over. Anyway the leaves supposedly have more nutrients than the potato itself. And for sure they require a lot of heat to grow. Love your videos.

[@JessieatPlot37]

You know what, it was only late in the season when it had started to die back that i remembered i was supposed to be trying the leaves this year! Remind me when i get them in next year :D

[@jeanlauridsen8596]

Already late November and still green. Snow here starts from October.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Ah, i would love some snow here!

[@debradevine3949]

Have fun on your trip

[@JessieatPlot37]

thank you!

[@marilynstanbury5098]

Have a great break in Torquay, not far from where I live that side of Exeter. Gosh how I wish I could meet you, would be great to bump into you! Not a chance though as I rarely go there. Enjoy yourself.

[@JessieatPlot37]

I don't blame you for not going down to Torquay, its such a shame that the main town is struggling so much. So many shops boarded up. Its still beautiful at the seas edge though!

[@chriseverest4380]

All that gardening and the concept I come away with is - Visit Torquay, Wear clean knickers!😂

[@margaretalice6343]

Just started watching the vlog. I’m intrigued to see the ‘wear clean knickers in Torquay’ connection 😂

hahahahahahaha!

[@tommeltje1]

Wow!.. 😻

[@JessieatPlot37]

huge, eh?

[@vickyt9769]

What were the varieties of sweet potato? They never did come up on the screen. Are you going to try the tiny slips to see if they're edible?

[@JessieatPlot37]

I am so sorry about that! I completely forgot to out them on. But they were Erato Violet and Orleans!

[@jessievanswaaij2971]

Do you do the whole sweetening the sweet potatoes thing? Like storage first warm and moist and than colder and dark or something? trying it for the first time now. (my harvest was slightly better than yours but still meh since the weather was pants. Maybe ask Audry about it how she does that? Lots of love from Belgium xx

[@ageethsmoestuintje]

Dingdingdingding..... and..... nothing. 😂 So, what were those varieties of the sweet potatoes?

[@JessieatPlot37]

i'm such an idiot, sorry! they were Erato Violet and Orleans!

[@ageethsmoestuintje]

@@JessieatPlot37 😆

[@lynnegunns604]

Hey Jess another great vlog and some great ideas too. The one thing I did notice about your video was that you forgot to put the names of the sweet potatoes. You kept doing the ding ding ding flash flash flash reminder but I don’t think you actually put them on the screen unless I miss them. Be good to know what that purple one was I can’t remember what it was you planted either. But yes, if only Our summer had been hotter. Oh well, there’s always next year. Have a good break and we’ll catch up with you again next week.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Thanks Lynne! I know, what a fool!! They were Erato Violet and Orleans!

[@Sylvie_M]

It seems your rat proofing is working!! Cheers!

[@JessieatPlot37]

hope so!!

[@dustyflats3832]

😅What cute little hens! They follow right along. If you don’t go there everyday does someone look after them?

[@JessieatPlot37]

One of us goes every day. Its just this week its mum, not me!

[@bthyme]

Maybe try just one slip in that pot.

[@JessieatPlot37]

yeah, i think next year i will

[@elainepearman2309]

Maybe next year if the weather isn't helpful for sweet potatoes you could put the pots in the green house or alike to keep them warmer. Just a thought. Love the videos from Aussie.

[@JessieatPlot37]

They were in the greenhouse all year this year, still no luck! Its just fingers crossed for a better summer i think!

[@ebxo269]

Thats just going to run off behind the gutter, as there is no lip to direct it into the gutter..

[@VeraRadoch-su2wv]

I loved this episode so much. Just wondering about that big sticker on your hat. It looks rather odd above your forehead, it makes me stare at it against my will .. 😸😸😸

[@kathrynhobbs8874]

Can you not prune down your chilli’s And over winter them? Also, could you not put bubble wrap in your poly tunnel?

[@JessieatPlot37]

I have tried a few times to over winter chillis but if i'm honest, i find it more effort that what you gain the following year. Never found the over-wintered plants to be as prolific. I am going to try with 2 of my aubergines this year though!

[@ameliagfawkes512]

Actually, you do have chemtrail haze, but not as bad as usual. Nice to get SOME sun.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Any sun is a joy right now!

[@traceypotts9425]

I was going to get a allotment but seeing this and all the others channels don't think I'll bother no one really gets anything back from them all that money effort for what and also the price for bit of scabby mud you can't get enough produce to off set the balance with time and effort I think your all nuts 😊😊😊😊😊

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahahaha, i think you are missing the point of an allotment Tracey! :D
