All About Green Manure. Plus Chelsea Flower Show and Freezing Beans || Plot 37 (Episode 77)

[@Canna1d]

The time stamps are a great addition as I often want to go back to listen to a topic again after watching the video all the way through.

[@tulle7358]

The best way of freezing beans is not to blanche them but just cut the ends of and directly in the freezer. They are way more crunchy and delicious that way. I know, we have been told and are growing up with blanching every thing before freezing but newer discovery’s and experiences have discovered that some er actually better not to 👍😀 You should try it Jessie 😘👍

[@cew9837]

I do that too now for lots of veg

[@linacohen4393]

I’ll try that ! Thank you for the tip

[@tulle7358]

@@linacohen4393 you are very welcome 😊

[@paulcornwell5496]

i just love your mom she is such a strong beautiful warm hearted woman. i can also see in her eye she has had hard times in here life. i do wish her much happiness and joy to come.

[@Bev437Sqn]

Great vlog. The timestamp will be useful to refresh some of your helpful tips. Thank you for all you do. Cheers from BC Canada 🇨🇦

[@andersonomo597]

I'm absolutely loving all the field trips! The bakery, Rassell's, and now the Chelsea show - even the rain ride was interesting! It's great to see what life is like elsewhere, especially as so much is now restricted - so THANK-YOU!

[@TjitskeG]

Lovely vlog as always! I wouldn't even mind if it was 1 hour long haha!

[@paulahughes6031]

It’s my treat time. A drink in one hand relax & watch from start to finish 👏. Stamp time could come in handy. But more work involved for you . Loved the Chelsea flower show 🤗. Thank you Jess. Has this has been a much deserved day break for you both to enjoy. Loved hearing the chicken song.(fabulous) & laying eggs is music too my ears 👂. Well you have demonstrated so well how to grow beans. I’m now trying just to decide which two I will grow next year 🙏👏👍

[@iainshaw5630]

As you can probably tell already, by the time you get to read this comment, the overwhelming consensus seems to be great idea for the time stamps but we'd probably all end up watching the whole vlog anyway - such is the captivating power your delivery has 😎 Where the timestamps would really come into their own, is when one is backtracking over a previously watched video to recap on something you've previously mentioned. So I say, keep the timestamps so long as it doesn't impinge too much on your valuable, and much appreciated, time in creating these wonderful videos x

[@andrewwilkinson3766]

Cheers Jessie. 1. Picking beans 2. Having a coffee 3. Oops, didn't mean to do that. We get comedy from you too. Really made me laugh. And even though you regularly have planes going over they're just back ground noise and we can hear you clearly. Great watching as always.

[@lorrainegrey8240]

Great vlog again!! I could watch you your mum and the girlies all day!!! 💚💚💚

[@lynnpurfield9430]

But, but, I can sit through 2 hours of your vlogs each week !!!!???

[@joanearl2827]

Great video Jessie. I missed you on Thursday! Perhaps you could do a quick 15 minute cooking video on Thursdays, like mustard greens, pak choy, or other things that I don't grow cuz I don't know how to cook them. Like the broad beans video a while back. Loved the kale with the fennel seeds and pepper and garlic. I need my Thursday fix! ;)

[@lilal3753]

I love how your chickens are part of your chat. LOL

[@helenhawkins4054]

Good to have your take on Chelsea, and the new system is helpful.🐓👍💐

[@lindacollar2626]

Loved Loved Loved this blog Jess. Please go out and do some more, you and your mum are brilliant at it. Just adored it all

[@virginiahoffman7803]

Aww…. Happy belated birthday to your mom! What a blessing 💕🌱🎂

[@stevendowden2579]

lovely video i love the music

[@anuhietamaki6976]

I played around with the time stamp links and they work well! Good idea! I have a bit of fever and watching your mum walking backwards on the driveway in the end bit got me yelling "do be careful". Time for a nap, obviously. 🤣🤣🤣

[@TuftyMcTavish]

🚆 Very much enjoy the away missions because I get to see what it’s like beyond my house perimeter in these 😷 times! Exploring vicariously through #GardeningTube 😆 But also laughing at 🖕🤣 Totally loving lap-🐓 responding to 🐛 I had a Robin that was much the same last winter, eating mealworms from my hand, which I was so pleased by.

[@amandajemmeson1716]

The time stamp works really well as I often go back to remind myself of information or techniques.

[@mudoh2131]

Super Jess.Time stamps useful. Enjoyed Chelsea - have only been once and yes it was so busy! Loved your Mum walking backwards at the end of the Vlog.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

Thoroughly enjoyed all 43 : 34 minutes! 😁 Thanks Jess & Mum for sharing your wonderful corner of the world.

[@rickwills4281]

The time stamp feature is fine but i happily watch the whole video regardless!

[@christinebrooks6364]

H8 Jess the time stamp is a great idea 🙂, your chickens are lovely and have settled in well. Thanks for a great video and take care 🙂

[@andyducker6208]

Chelsea slot was very good. Nice to see you in your girly green and out of overalls!

[@das_hanski]

Morning Jessie! Finally managed to catch up with this week's vlog. Inspired by your broad bean recipe, I wanted to have a patch of them for the first time and also a patch of field beans for green manure over winter. Turns out, it's not so easy to find a place where you can buy any for autumn sowing. All I have found really are for farmers and come in 25/50 kilo bags. Bit too much for me. And using a petrol strimmer during the shortage? Very provocative! Hope you're having a great weekend! Hannes 💚

[@janerobertson1889]

Thank you for explaining green manure Jessie 😊 🌻

[@Whistlewalk]

I typically sit back and enjoy the whole ramble through your garden as it comes at me, but there are sometimes things I like to back and rewatch, so a time stamp could be useful for that. A fair bit of extra work for you though. Enjoyed Chelse and the beloti beans. Think I might grow some next year. Thanks for another lovely video.

[@francesbatycki404]

We use winter oats. They are terrific! The leaping on lap was fantastic! How sweet!

[@andyducker6208]

Timestamp is a good idea, but still wouldn't want to miss one minute of your blogs. I've yried varieties that have worked for you and enjoyed MM melons, Lilia onions, violet beans and kept a log what to try next year. Thank you so much for your cherry informative vlogs.

[@irenebeatty8812]

Hi Jess, great vlog! Love Chelsea Flower Show, I used to work for the company that provides the Great Pavilion which is 10,000m2 of space - huge! As I have limited freezer space, I have dehydrated some of my green beans for use in soups and stews. Hopefully, they will taste good.

[@sans0m]

Oh love the little cutlery set could you share a link please 😀

[@susanbrookes8247]

Great video, loads of information and a nice look at Chelsea through the eyes of a vegetable grower. Thanks

[@karenwright2444]

I so (sow ... crap pun!) look forward to your vlogs. I've bought some green manure and bollotti beans because of you 😀 Time slot so works for me ... helps my 'saves' in my folders

[@Wholesomeday]

Its never to early for Christmas planning! Looking forward to potatoes from our plot this year for Christmas dinner.

[@JoyoftheGardenandHome]

I appreciate the time stamp. But you are a Delight and funny and I look forward to your vlogs. Cheers

[@lisalightfoot1344]

I too love the ramblings, but again like others ha e said, sometimes we want to go back for certain information(like the green manure) so yeah fab idea it does work for everyone as long as its not too much of a chore for you that is😘

[@chrismellor1854]

In regards to liquid seaweed. I've found that some of the bigger Home and Bargain stores sell 1 litre bottles for only £1.99. That's the best price I personally have ever found it for

[@sarahkeal1065]

I enjoy the vlog style video and that’s how I watch it. However having the sections is useful if you want to refer back to something. The green manure is something I may have to look into too. Take care xx

[@paulcornwell5496]

if you ever come across a black Siberian cherry tomato plz let us know. it just wonderful is like eating candy in the garden and the tomato never get to leave the garden lol. i order some from a older lady on ebay like 5 years ago and could never find any more and forget to get seeds from it. and if you havent tried pink ox heart tomato you should they are really good. only thing is to get the real one really have to order them from like Hungary are some where close to them.

[@gardeningperth]

Love the chapters thingy.

[@johnking-ht5ez]

You should stake your Sprouts to prevent wind rock which will result no sprouts or small ones

[@garyclifton2180]

Good stuff Jess love you got the girls eating out your tin brill

[@tassiegirl1991]

Interesting Jess & off topic so bear with me, but good to see masks on trains, & your carriage very empty, but non at Chelsea gardens when loads of people in very close proximity with the Delta variant that surprised me. Your lunch soup looks great, healthy and filling. A nice soft baguette would have made it perfect for me. Had me laughing with your camping cutlery. Belated happy birthday to mum. ??? Jess a question would green manure work when only using big pots/grow bags to help replenish the soil for spring? if so which type not rye. Jess my first two arches are up, what a palaver, each time I lifted one side the other came apart screw and inner nut came out! But got there exhausted and my first time growing barlotti and another type white beans are transplanted. Four more arches to do!!!!! One day but I’ll do nearer to where they’ll be positioned not indoors. I hope mine look a little like yours so pretty. I must say I blanched my French beans whole, reheating yes they went a bit limp. My sister used to freeze hers on a tray no blanching.

[@adelacozlac366]

I love the idea of time stamps!

[@tamararoberts9307]

I always freeze my green beans , no blanching no flash freeze but I make sure they're dry. So easy and convenient . I do the same with my sugar snap peas. In fact, I dedicate a couple of freezer bags to a mix of them both.

[@tamararoberts9307]

Been collecting broccolettes and freezing them as well

[@Foxontheplot]

Time stamps where really good 👍

[@waylonhartwell]

We never had great luck with green beans until somebody told us to not blanch them for 2 minutes just to pour hot water over the entire batch slowly then dumping entire pot of cold water over them right away then let them dry on a cookie sheet and freeze since then we have much better green beans

[@MaggiSeer]

I had enough green beans from my season last year to last all winter. I use them in soup, stir fry and sauteed vegetables, thats like 3 meals a week. I like them fresh and frozen. I'm hoping to have a similar harvest this coming year. I've just spent the last couple of days pricking out my tomatoes and they are looking really good. Bounced back overnight :) I do like the timestamps it will make finding information in the future much easier

[@kitcatforever]

I freeze my green beans on cookie sheets then put them in bags for the freezer

[@cassieboo3762]

I put a lot of my leeks into the dehydrator , they keep beautifully.

[@antonybellamy508]

Love the time stamps for when I don’t have time for the joyous rambling - great work please keep them if you can - aj

[@yvonnef8423]

Brill - definitely like the time stamps. It will be especially useful in the future when I want to look back at a particular section. Many thanks

[@bec0181mine]

Like others, I thoroughly enjoy your monolog but I do appreciate the timestamp option. I cut right to your bean-bit to check it out. Very helpful.

[@martianleaderrichy1520]

Watched a few of your videos and loved them all. Keep up the great work and Vlogging. Subscribed, thank you 😃👍

[@viviennemichaels666]

Fantastic channel...best wishes to all.

[@sundancer442]

Love the strimmer face ! Awesome vlog as always, Jess.

[@Leanne_N]

Lovely to see bits of the Chelsea show - something I’ve heard about but obviously not had a chance to experience! I concur with Ali tho a few more people than I’m accustomed to being around as I’m in BC too and fully into the 4th wave. 🙁 The chickens! the egg song is always such a delight 😂 I planted my cover crops September 12 and truly hoping they grow in time! We started getting fall temperatures the very next day, although I can see they are pushing the fleece up. I’m trying a mix of field peas, oats and buckwheat in some alternating rows although I did broadcast the oats a bit as I had lots. I have 4 dedicated raised beds but trying to develop an “in ground” approach in one spot. Which was a failure this year due to low nutrient compost but I will persevere. Cover crops and I should have more homemade compost for next spring. I think the chapters will be helpful for me for referring back to a specific part. I do like your variety of content so watch the full episode. 🥂

[@paul-oram]

Thanks for the Phecelia info. I'd bought a packet but wasn't sure when to sow it. I'll get out there now...

[@tamararoberts9307]

Another great vlog ❤

[@jamiemittermuller6470]

This week I had a spurt of inspiration/ bright ideas, I dug a small wildlife pond and I am redoing a border into a white border as it’s become a shady corner so I can increase my fern collection which I’m excited to receive. My new meadow coming through and I have a lawn slowly growing and my one of favourite parts of the year, bulb season. I have around 300bulbs to plant (3 boxes).

[@jimhud134]

Good idea with the chapters, just wanted to watch the green manure. Thanks

[@izzywizzy2361]

Hi Jessie, lovely video as always, I am inspired to make my plot both attractive and productive like you and your mum have achieved. I have stopped blanching my veg for freezing, just chop and bung in the freezer after washing and they seem to have a better texture and taste now.

[@tamararoberts9307]

I love watching the whole videos ❤

[@tamararoberts9307]

The eating utensils are so cool , I need to get a couple of those for hubby and myself

[@gartenundflausch]

Lovely VLOG as always! 🪱🪱🪱🐓🐓🐓🥰😂Chelsea Flower Show: Very interesting to see through your 👀 😀 I also love this years Bean-season, they were great in Southwest Germany, too! 😋 ✌🏼😘

[@carlsmith7240]

We will watch shortly. Been looking forwards to this

[@fareebug8439]

Great vlog, great info! I learned so much, the time tabs are so handy- so I can go back and reference things quickly! 🌱💗

[@sownreap2467]

Thanks for another great vlog Jessie. It was so funny when your chicken was laying whilst your trying to talk. I am trying to grow purple Brussels sprouts, but the leaves are very lacey looking from the butterflies and my ducks bite them as they walk past. Will this effect the sprout growth? I had never thought about actually feeding them!! Blessings. X

[@beverley1539]

Hiya Jessie, great idea re time stamp Thankyou as I’m sure it’s a lot of time invested so much appreciate. Loved a peek into Chelsea, the story of the city in China was fab. Oh and the plunge pool,yes please perfect for a small garden hmmm lol. Cheers Luv Ontario Canada 🐝

[@jennyjohnson9012]

So glad you enjoyed Chelsea. I went some years back with my daughter and we had torrential rain all day! We sat on the train home steaming lol. Still enjoyed it though!! Lovely video as always Jessie.

[@joanpulley9722]

THX for taking me along to Chelsea...Iv never been ...will one day tho Lovely vlog as always .

[@jesselawrence4360]

Great look round Chelsea. You made it a lovely experience

[@anasgarden6483]

I watched another KZbin gardening video on whispering willow farm chanel and she was saying how much better the green beans turn out freezing them directly without blanching which I thought was interestingly I haven't tried freezing green beans myself, it would be nice though to have frozen green beans🙂

[@kathyroberts5870]

I'm in the USA, I have noticed that most of the dates are Disappearing from Videos. To me Dates are more important, I watch all videos but I would like to know how recent the video is ,example: "2 months ago" could have been 5 years past

[@corynsboy5814]

Nice touch with the chapters I'm really only here for the strong hat game so if you could flag those too that would be great!😁😁

[@myrustygarden]

Wow way too many people for me 😷 here in Canada and especially BC we are still on 50 max capacity for outdoor events. Did you pocket any of those tomatoes 😂😂. Like you I never realized how many colours of beans there are in fact today I saw a bright blue variety. I’m hoping the post is ok as I sent you some black tomato seed varieties and mom some zinnias and giant marigold seeds. It was first week of September 🤔. Do you harvest and eat the field beans? Lovely video as always thank you for sharing your garden and mom with us all 🇨🇦🐝 safe 🥂

[@chrisstanley4405]

Do we all just skip to the drink along at the end? ;) Would love to go Chelsea flower show but be a few years I think. I like the Tatton park one, but tend to alternate between that one and Southport.

[@grahamrdyer6322]

Great Vlog Jess, but I don't need any of your seaweed stuff as I put seaweed from the beach on to my garden but I am sowing a field bean (pigeon pea) cover crop as well, I find the seaweed gives the garden an extra boost of all the minerals and the peas just hold the nitrogen in.

[@BettyandtheBees]

Loved this week's video, was jam packed! I'm well jealous of your Chelsea visit, you looked lovely. What was your favourite garden? I quite liked the Florence nightingale one. Did you manage to get your face on telly by hovering behind a presenter???

[@thomasthibedeau8900]

This was very informative for me. I am planting a cereal rye for a cover crop for the first time.

[@packettoplate]

wow great video would so love to go to the show , missed out this year , hopefully might get tickets next year take care .

[@thornhedge9639]

In defense of the hen; how much noise would you make if you gave birth every single day? :) Charming as always Jess.

[@maureenkelly9122]

Hi Jesse love your blog can I have link for the green clips for bubble wrap please .Thank you

[@sharonrein4249]

Another great vlog, thank you!

[@SouthernYankee]

Was it hard to create chapters I would Love to do this I have no idea how.

[@debbiespitznagel1472]

Jessie, are you only uploading videos once a week now?

[@jennycollard1173]

Love the idea of time stamps and particularly enjoyed the green manure information. Do you use comfrey juice? If so when would you choose to use seaweed feed or comfrey??

[@debbiecarne1927]

Hi Jess great video. You mentioned orange aubergines and I have got some growing but don’t know when to harvest or how to cook with them. Do you have any advice?

[@davidmills4643]

Hi Jessie it's Tina when I freeze my beans I just prep them and freeze I never blanch and they come out fine also what is the music you use thanks

[@paulinemorris5186]

like the look of the cutlery, where did you get them?

[@anjkovo2138]

❤❤

[@louise2209]

I read online that you don’t need to blanch the beans, just wash, dry then freeze. I’ll let you know if it works in winter when I start to use mine!

[@Melinda_WA_US]

Started just freezing about two years ago after doing a half and half experiment the year before. They are fantastic and a lot less work.
