Just when you think its all going well... Ep 226 || Plot 37

[@kiseki5]

Hi Jessie! The more cooking videos and segments, the better in my opinion😊 I love to see how you use your produce in the kitchen, great inspiration ❤

[@JessieatPlot37]

Thank you so much!

[@laurachambers3562]

I don't know if someone has already mentioned this, but I had to stop using Blood, Fish & Bone on my allotment as the foxes and badgers could smell it, and so they were digging in the beds as it smelt to them like something tasty had died, being their nature. They couldn't find anything so there furious digging would be widespread wherever I'd used B,F&B. I just used compost with seaweed based fertiliser now, they're not keen on seaweed and I've not had the problem since.

[@Brenda-xc7sq]

Your salad dish looked gorgeous. I love your cooking videos and I think the new 2-tone system of presenting them is a brilliant idea that I am looking forward to. Your Mum is a lucky lady to sit at the table of a talented cook.

[@JessieatPlot37]

:D thanks Brenda

[@rebeccawhite2402]

Other people are not alone when not knowing what to do with grown produce. I welcome some advice Jessie on that front.

[@CLFL14256]

already following Jesse's advice of freezing Greek Gigantes, works a treat. Have also used a fig in a salad, gorgeous! The problem is the glut of produce, does anybody ever grow the right amount of lettuce??? Or courgettes?

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahahahah, i think if i could spread my lettuce out it would be a good amount but sadly it comes in huge waves and then nothing :D

[@blessildajoy]

52:58 ok, this is the 3rd video in a row that I get a snippet of silence around the end speech. Anybody else? Love the cooking portion idea, can't wait💚

[@Sandramortimer]

Yes

oh pants... that kept happening in my editor but i can't see why and then nobody mentioned it so i figured it was just my end... thank you for letting me know!

Badgers: "Let's go the place that does free refills" 😶‍🌫

[@JessieatPlot37]

....indeed

[@larathomas625]

Destructive beggars those badgers! I really feel for you Jessie - at this rate you’re going to end up with everything covered up!

[@JessieatPlot37]

i know, i think i'm heading that way!

[@lobodo988]

Very interested in the kitchen videos! This salad looks soooooo elegant and special, and EXPENSIVE, I might add, if I ordered it in a fine restaurant. Just can’t get that kind of food in a Taco Bell or McDonalds. Meanwhile, I’ve bought giant noodle shells to be stuffed! Would never have bothered without your video, but you made it look fantastic, Jessie. tysm

[@JessieatPlot37]

Yay for the giant shells! they are so versatile, you can stuff them with all sorts of left overs and throw a bit of bechamel over, stick it in the oven and you have a new dish :D

[@steveprosser7154]

Really enjoyed the blog Corgette recipes please.

[@janenewley1014]

Oh yes…squirrels love figs…frustratingly they often leave the fruit on the tree with their tooth marks!🤯🤯🤯

[@lancpudn]

Slugs have been the worst this year than I can remember, They've decimated so many of my vegetables that I feel all the hard work I put into sowing these seeds back in January /February on heat mats & under grow lights has been a bit of a waste of my efforts sadly. I was up around dawn this morning because I couldn't sleep with these warm nights & went into the garden & greenhouses & collected literally dozens of the blighters off my plants.

[@JessieatPlot37]

its been a hard year in the garden, really has!

[@mahlapropyzm9180]

Beer traps - put them out preemptively about a week before you plant out. You will never send them extinct, but beer traps at least let your plants get big enough to out grow any later damage. It's a pretty gnarly business cleaning them out too, but worth it. Also a cold frame/greenhouse lets you grow your seedlings a lot bigger so they too can resist a minor onslaught. Even then, there will be casualties.

[@PennyDouglas-yb7tg]

Keep up the good work young lady.all best from sherwood

[@kaia41]

Well...Toona sinensis. It is a deciduous tree growing to 25 metres (82 ft) tall with a trunk up to 70 cm diameter. The bark is brown, smooth on young trees, becoming scaly to shaggy on old trees. The young leaves of T. sinensis are extensively used as a vegetable in Chinese cuisine; they have a floral, yet onion-like flavor, attributed to volatile organosulfur compounds.[12] Plants with red young leaves are considered of better flavour than those where the young leaves are green.[4][13][14] In China and Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia, the young leaves of Toona sinensis or commonly known as Chinese Mahogany is used to make Toona paste, which is used as a condiment to serve with plain rice porridge as breakfast and simple meals, or to enhance the flavour of a dish or soup. Common dishes made with Toona paste are Chinese Mahogany fried rice, Chinese Mahogany beancurd, and Chinese Mahogany mushroom soup. The leaves contain Vitamin E, and high amounts of iron, calcium and chlorophyll. Sounds like a tree I would like to have in my fairly big garden. ;)

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahahha, all the info! Yeah, i have discovered its going to be huge so i might try it in a pot hahaha!

[@lorragen5425]

Your plantain looks different, in Canada it's broadleaf and has about a 6 inch stalk doesn't have that cute little pinecone tuft, very interesting, enjoyed your video very much, thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas, take care to you and your mom

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Yes I agree with you Jessie, these mild wet winters are no good. We need lots of frost for our garlic for a start. Winters should be cold and frosty, not wet and mild. Fingers crossed!

[@squeezyjohn1]

The winter before last had a week in December down to -12ºC almost constantly below freezing which killed all my citrus even in the greenhouse wrapped in fleece, did for my young apple trees and almost finished off my globe artichokes.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Cold and frosty, yes!! I could do without the -8 though :D

[@--Singularity--]

It´s property of the simulation, Jessie. You have to do the work immediately you check they´re ready to harvest. Otherwise simulation will ruin it. I´m now taking my Stevia leafs for drying for winter. I had two plants, and on other one is 50% leaves gone. But i´ll manage.

[@ianparsons9824]

I know you don't believe me Jessie but your madly digging foxes/badgers situation in the pumpkin bed is definitely the blood , fish and bone attracting them . I've been there , seen the film and bought the tee shirt with knobs on !

We have an honesty table on our allotment where people put excess plants and veg for others to take.

[@zoem8820]

Our allotment has just started a weekly donation to the local food bank, which is really nice.

We have a spot where people leave things for other to take! But we are all inundated with the same things at the same time hahaha!

[@alisonaustin7299]

Oh what wonderful news - that you’re going to be doing a bit of a cooking/recipe vlog. Whenever you take that trug home, full of your fab produce - I always wonder what you’re going to make with it!

[@JessieatPlot37]

the good life indeed Gina. Can't complain too much!

[@berylhunter7509]

Battery operated electric fence around beds to stop badgers? I have seen them used to stop bears getting into gardens/chicken coops on videos. Gives them a little shock and they respect the wire after that. We use electric fencing on the farm, even when the power is off they respect the fences. I laughed so hard when I saw our huge Hereford bull do an enormous jump over a electric wire lying on the ground not connected!😅

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahahha, i'm thinking about it. But my neighbour has installed one around her corn and beetroot and they still manage to get in :/

Such a shame about the squash and things 😢😢. 36:55 I wasn’t actually watching you sow I was trying to see what mom was doing 😂😂. I will be sowing some more things now too but not too much as I’m moving (go figure) things around the garden again. I’m trying a water spinach this year it’s apparently similar to gailan, very prolific and loves heat 👍. Have a fab week ladies, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

[@hikerlindacanadianrockies8478]

I sympathize with the damage you've suffered. We just got hit with a major hailstorm (golf ball sized hail) hit our garden plots. I won't be able to go up there until the weekend, as it's still raining away for a few days. I'll have to see what can be saved or what can recover.

[@JessieatPlot37]

oh thats so frustrating too.. we've only had one serious hail storm here, that i recall and it smashed everything!! Hope you find your damage isn't as bad as expected!

[@gemgenie06]

Love your idea about how to handle the cookery videos. Thats how I found your channel - I was searching for a way to deal with a load of Chard and broad beans and stumbled across you :) Really looking forawards to seeing the cookery stuff come back and totally agree with how you are dealing with it by having a little sneak peak in the vlog then dive into deeper detail in a separate video for those who are interested. Ive also fallen into the omg ive got way too much of this produce trap in previous years so having more inspiration will be great......ive still got a ton of french beans blanched and frozen from last year to the point where i only grew 5 plants this year! My gardens been shockingly bad this year though and not very productive or things have gone from nope not doing anything to boom ive bolted in a matter of days - silly weather grrr or as you have slug armageddon double grrr . Lets hope next year is a bit easier!

[@teresaedwards3659]

You are so inspiring to me. Love the whole video. So sorry about your mean badger.

Jessie, I drip few drops of the citronella oil - neat - to soak into the wooden boards of my raised beds and seem to be able to avoid any guests who may be tempted to dig up my vegetables 🥰

Lily, however will not be impressed as cats do hate it too 😞

[@JessieatPlot37]

Can I also share our crazy slug (not rested on snails) experience... So, we have poked sticks into our raised beds and used clips to attach netting a d fleece and material that protects against the tiniest flies 🤞​@@JessieatPlot37

[@JellieGHope]

Squirrels keep digging out flowers in my pots. I love them and they are so cute but I really wanted those flowers

[@lorragen5425]

Have you tried ground cayenne pepper, I sprinkle it on the soil with cinnamon, squirrels hate certain smells, we had one ripping up the felt covering on the roof of the car hood, the garage advised scented drier sheets in certain places under the hood or watered down lemon juice, we only had to do the drier sheets the spice idea came from a garden book

[@JessieatPlot37]

frustrating isn't it :/

[@nickiramsay2421]

You have taught me something new about plantains. I usually feed them to my tortoise but I’m going to have to have a nibble now 😄 Shame about all your squashed veg, it has been a trying year for sure.

[@debbiespitznagel1472]

Jessie, I'm feeling so badly for you about your plants and the badger. Have you tried heavily sprinkling cayenne pepper all around the bed? It sometimes helps with critters here. Ohhh I just looked up your beef and onion tree and it looks like it gets VERY BIG. It spreads by suckers and seeds. Will it be invasive, do you think? Your harvest looked so lovely in the basket. I'm so EXCITED to hear about your recipe videos!!!

[@lorainemcguire5795]

Hi jessie great video can be disheartening when things get dug up we hsve had the same thing every few nights now found pink maggots in our plums i never knew they existed until eating it, you always put on a smile and like you say gotta stsy positive ❤

[@JessieatPlot37]

Have you thought it could be the compost that they are attracted to ?? When we have compost that contains a lot of municipal green waste my dog Bruce will actually eat it out of the bed......... Just something to ponder while pottering..

Yes, i think its a combination. But i have to weigh it up because that mulch improves our soil and harvest/plant growth so much!

Hi Jess. Love the new format. I will fzind it so useful as I am one of those people who isn't sure what to do withy harvests. Thank you. I get problems with badgers digging my beds that i've mulched with rotted manure. Could you please tell me what the citronella is that you use? Is it a diluted citronella essential oil or the oil you burn to keep insects away from an outside dining space? Thank you so much. Happy gardening 🙂

[@ninemoonplanet]

The plant called lemon balm is good for keeping mosquitoes, small animals out of beds. It also makes a good flavouring in an herbal tisane (tea).

[@JessieatPlot37]

Jessie , I don't know if you already know how medicinal plantain is. The little flower head is where physillium husks come from to help go #2 . Also the leaves can be used dried in tea for acid reflux, Gerd and upper respiratory problems. If you get stung or bite you can pick a leaf, chew it and put it directly on the spot and it will take away the itching and some pain. I use all of it when I wild harvest it.

[@ioanaconstantin7151]

I believe you actually attract even more those badgers into those freshly mulched beds because of the fertiliser (bone fish and blood), try to switch to something else for an experiment (like chicken or horse manure pellets, seeweed,… ). Those little hungry fluffy cute plant diggers will dig somewhere else.

[@JessieatPlot37]

yes, the mulch does attract them but i've not noticed a difference in years when i have/have not used blood fish and bone. They do go crazy for chicken manure pellets though so i definitely know i can't use those!!

[@user-ix5qd1bp4q]

Greatness freshness kindness goodness

[@JessieatPlot37]

hahaha thanks!

[@kazjohns]

Is that pelleted blood fish and bone you’re using? I wonder if that is what is making the badgers more attracted than normal to the beds, than the powdered form, as it is possibly more concentrated?

[@JessieatPlot37]

Its possible! Although to my nose (obviously not as sensitive as a badgers) it has less of a smell than the powder. Maybe the small stays longer in a pellet though!

[@kazjohns]

@@JessieatPlot37 Yes, I agree. I forgot the aroma from the powdered form smells stronger to us 😂. So maybe it’s because the pellets are more desirable because they’re in a more edible form?
