And its so easy to listen to you. Phew,I do have my girls in the garden but not enough room for veg except few pot grown and herbs.im a mum of 5 very grown up ones now and a grandma 👵 too.im 62 now .have few health issues so my girls in the garden is all I manage. Like you I just love them..anyway just very well done to you young lady and to your mum,,hug for your girlie's too,xxxxx.look forward to next one.bye Rory now.oh excellent shed tidying.

[@staceylongo3111]

Your videos relax and inspire me. I love how genuine you are and how much fun you seem to have. You have an amazing sense of humor and your and your mom seem to have a beautiful relationship. Happy fall gardening. I hope you get plenty of sunshine. Carry on and Cheers from NJ USA

[@hetty2974]

Such moments to treasure. Oh yum brownies mmm!times to treasure with your mum. 😆 .

[@lobodo988]

Well I had to look up a recipe for Blondies after that! Raised on walnut chocolate brownies, with raspberry cream cheese frosting, with vanilla ice cream, smeared with melted chocolate chips, even just bare, I will never say No to them, but the Blondies have me intrigued, so I will give them a try with sour cherries baked in, which are just coming ripe in my back yard (6/19/24). Very early this year! They usually ripen on 4th of July. Very patriotic of them lol

[@karenpage9383]

As much as I love seeing the plot and everything you are doing in it, I think I love the chit chat even more! You are just the cutest thing and I like hearing about life there. Where I live in the US is very rural and routinely boring. Getting glimpses of other places is super fun. And congrats about taking a night class! In your next FAQ video, perhaps you can tell more about it. If I'm not mistaken, I think you are an artist outside of the garden (one could argue in the garden too as you have set it up so beautifully!). At least I vaguely remember a reference to your pre-Covid life being something artsy. Would love to hear more about that as I'm a little artsy too. The shed looks tidy indeed and has shamed me to do a little with my storage area... once it cools down. Where you have had nothing but gray days, we've had nothing but sunshine and high temps and humidity. Since the middle of July its been a chore doing anything outdoors because of the heat.

A few years ago I asked if anyone wanted free oregano. Someone actually said “who uses oregano”? Um……. And I’m so excited. I’m organizing my shed and it’s such a great feeling! 🤞❤️🇨🇦👍😅🇨🇦✔️🥕🍅👩‍🌾🪴

[@jamiemittermuller6470]

I always cut my tulips if it’s going to be wet and windy because the wind destroys them and I won’t be able to enjoy them. I learnt not to just leave thing for later it’s takes twice and long and you never want to tidy up because every one knows the clean up the worst part.

[@JessieatPlot37]

I love a really good tidy/sort out! Its definitely not the worst part for me.

lovely video i like your nice clean shed

[@joycejames4879]

Your shed looks fab! Love your tidying ideas!!

[@jessievanswaaij2971]

I followed you on instagram and just found out you have a youtube channel as well, how lovely you are! I`m green with envy just being able to have a big allotment with your mom! Me and my mom are both very into plants ( and me into veggies as well) so when we are together i can finaly just go on about it without someone turning eyes. However we both live in a differend country ( me in Belgium she in the Netherlands) so we could never have what you both have but its realy lovely to see!

[@myrustygarden]

Morning ladies, yep have to agree my carrots so far this year have been crap. I’m trying the Parisienne round at the mo in poly tunnel. Has your mom got pink hair very cool 😎. Wow sand bar in the garden sucks 😢 see mushroom compost here is cheap (ish). I have giant marigolds for bees and sedum but I am not a fan of dahlia flowers 🌸 no particular reason other than space and care. Big shed on fall/winter project building list (honey dew list 😂😂). I think she’d are like purses the bigger they are the more cluttered they get. Thank you again for a great tour and sharing your videos with us 🇨🇦👍🐝 safe

[@JessieatPlot37]

We’ll just add ‘Carrots’ to the 2021 fails list! Thats one long list! :D The sand sucks sometimes but at least nothing ever rots out during the winter… lol. Thats why i like the dahlias so much, you just put them in the ground and they come up year after year, masses of flowers for 6 months and don’t require anything. I think if we had to ‘lift’ them and store them it would be a different story! Sheds are definitely like handbags! The bigger the more crap you carry! Having said that - I do with out a purse (i just carry a skinny pocket wallet) but i couldn’t do without the shed! :D Priorities!

[@richardhart7652]

The shidy Ted looks good

[@artsyhonkerful]

I got some leaves for leaf mold last year by raking other people's lawns and taking the leaves away. (If you're canny, they'll even pay you to do it.)

[@randhirkalha4836]

Hi Jessi! Not sure how far you're from Hanworth but if youre not too far there is a ton of free horse manure available for pick up opposite the Power League football club. Just a thought considering how expensive it can get to keep buying ready manure bags! Also if you can travel a wee bit further to Charlton Village near Sunbury there is absolutely a huge pile of mature good quality manure you can bag and take from the stables area for free 24hrs a day. Regards Randy

[@stephen12264]

Jessie you and your mother are very beautiful ladies I truly love the color of your eyes. I would absolutely love to get to spend some time with you two ladies and help you get thing's done. I am a chef and It would be interesting to cook for you to girls and see what you think of real American home cooking. Right now I have been cooking for the children in my community. I am feeding about 15 kid's because they are out of school again over the virus coming back. I've been feeding them breakfast and lunch and I absolutely love doing it. I pray that they get to return to school before the 30th of September because I have a back surgery then. I don't know what they will get to eat if they don't return to school by then. The lord will make a way I'm sure of that. God Bless ladies.

[@JessieatPlot37]

What a fantastic thing to be doing! Do you know when the schools hiatus is supposed to be over or is it all being played by ear?

[@stephen12264]

@@JessieatPlot37 until the case's of covid starts to decline they will be out of school. Their saying maybe by the end of the month or a little bit before that. I have been doing this through the entire summer and when they do go back to school I will miss getting to feed them. I am papa to almost every child in this housing unit. I started this out of a need and now I do it out of love for these kids. I just finished lunch we had cheeseburgers and homemade French fries I believe you guy's call them chips. They was trying to figure out a way I could still cook for them when school returns. It literally brought tears to my eyes knowing that they really loved what I am doing. Talking about making all this work and money worth while. They need to return to school Jess these children are really losing out on their education.

[@helenhawkins4054]

I did a sidey ted about June time after seeing yours with everything hanging up instead of leaning dumped etc. It’s still looking good and makes life so easier. How pleasing is a sidey ted!! Thank you for posting about the mesh and all the inspiration you have given me for the lottie this year x❤️

[@AK907FROSTY]

I'm pretty sure you need a very loose soil for carrots, like no rocks or twigs. They are just a tap root and when it hits something solid they stunt or split.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Yeah, i know that what i was talking about with the new carrot bed. Hopefully we’ll go back to excellent carrots now!

[@sheilanichols3647]

Love your video posts! So many ideas. Inspiration! Please share how you decide to cook the yellow squash. I want to plant more varieties of seeds this fall and next spring.

I sacrifice some brassica plants outside mesh, but end of other beds, so caterpillars only eat them. Allows nature to get fed plus I get them away from my plants.

[@JessieatPlot37]

Yeah, we have quite a few brassicas dotted through the flowers beds (like the odd tree cabbage, etc) and i always leave the butterflies to get on with it with them. Have to have a balance!

[@sheilaleatt]

Love a good mulch and the satisfaction of tidying the shed. I especially liked the high tech method of capturing the cobwebs, must give that a try, they are everywhere at the moment. So hot today up here in the North West of England so I came indoors to cool down and watch you and mum with a glass of something chilled. Cheers Jessie 🍸🍸🍸

[@das_hanski]

Hey Jessie, having a beer whilst watching your vlog, let me just say PROST! 🍻 Poor mushrooms getting a bad rap... they can't be organized all that badly if they manage to survive for millions of years. Then again, what's a week sooner or later on that timescale. 😄 My dining room table is currently occupied by shot glasses and cups with all sorts of chilli, tomato and flower seeds. Probably should get that sorted out... See you on Thursday for all the chicken action... Hannes 💚

[@JessieatPlot37]

PROST Hannes!! Apologies, yeah i think all their networks and forest floor communications must require excellent organisation….. just Mushroom organisation skills run to a greater time scale than ours do! I needed something more precise! :D Oooh, the great ‘seed save’ begins. I’m getting overexcited about variety selection for 2022 already.

[@das_hanski]

[@Lisa.Gypsy.C]

That shed clean up was tremendous! Would love to hear more about your college course too - do tell x

[@Leanne_N]

Love the new sign for the shed. Kim has brilliant taste! Not sure how you ended up drying the oregano. One year I left mine on the stem but actually struggled to get the leaves off, and they ended up being sort of stringy. Since then I have removed the leaves from the stems, chopped it and then dried it with a better result. I’ve just finished off a small batch of parsley and leaf celery (soup celery?). This is first year growing leaf celery and frankly no idea if it stores but I figure it can’t hurt to try it since I had a bunch and the dehydrator was going to be running anyway. We are about a month away from the first frost here so it’s now about trying to save what I can, although everything was a smaller yield than hoped (but a yield nonetheless!) 🥂

[@JessieatPlot37]

Hi Leanne, i dried it on the stem and sort of ‘scrunched’ the leaves off when dry. Didn’t have problems with the stalks apart from on the flowers. (I dried them too but had to accept they weren’t coming off the stems in the end and put them in the jar whole). I haven’t done my Parsley yet but i am going to. Also i think leaf/soup celery is meant to dry fantastically! But I haven’t tried. It’s on my ever expanding list! Gosh only a month till first frost, it must be action stations in your garden. And yeah, a harvest of something is better than nothing isn’t it! :D

Jessie - when you cut the herbs do you wash it before drying? I worry about wildlife like rats 🐀 pee and poo… etc

[@JessieatPlot37]

Hello! No, i don’t wash them. I give them a good shake out and then just put them straight in. They never work out if i try to wash them after picking. But if i think they might be dirty or have something on them i will give the plant a hose down the day before!
