Sowing Aubergines and Peppers + 'The January Cucumber'!! Ep197 || Plot 37

[@JessieatPlot37]

Forgot to add the link for the new mini heat matt. Its now in the Show Notes but also here: amzn.to/3HlwOhV

[@dlsdyer9071]

Jess, you could have arches on that side near your plot neighbor. Keep the walkway next to him and place the arches inside the beds near him going over the perpendicular walkways. If the slugs are not decimating the plants that are in that end of the beds. Also, having the girlies out and about will decrease the insect pressure.

[@lindsaymccartney2480]

Sorry if I missed the link but where did you get the shelving unit from please

[@nicolapassmore6409]

Hey Jessie, I’ve watched you from the very beginning (lockdown) and you are very much my favourite gardener.. so happy you’re still able to put these vlogs out… life wouldn’t be the same without a dose of Jessie each week 😂 x x

[@yaddayadda....9080]

I am half Greek so i tend to try and sow heirloom seeds from Greece…i have two varieties of sweet peppers katsika and the makedonia ones which are great for stuffing.. Aubergines i have the typical black beauty, long black and the light purple ones with white lines , tsakoniki… id translate it if i knew what it meant 😂😂…. This is my fourth year growing now.. i started off with herbs on my kitchen window which escalated to shelves then to a 5mtr poly then i built a raised bed around the poly lol.. i made potato planters out of my old oak kitchen doors.. once ya start that’s it!!!…. 😂 i will try to grow anything… i even started a pomegranate last yr and i sprouted three black fig trees from seed and a grape vine… even got awaphui growing which is a wild ginger which produces these red flowers which produce foam for shampoo…🤞🙏.. non of me friends are into really just me.. but they all want your food when its grown..😂

[@potagermalo]

Coucou 👋🏻 👋🏻 👋🏻 J'adore vos vidéos 😊 A bientôt

[@KOLLEKZIYA_FASOLI]

💚💚💚Jessie, thank you for your videos. You inspire me. And teach me a lot. I grow about 20 varieties of jalapenos that are not very hot, because I don’t like very hot ones. But I like their different colors: rat, green, orange and yellow. This variety of jalapeno colors lifts my spirits. I have been growing eggplants for many years from my saved seeds. These are simple purple eggplants, but very suitable for my garden. I have a small garden, but I try to try a lot of things. I also grow a large collection of beans and corn. Thanks again for your videos. 💚💚💚

[@myrustygarden]

Morning ladies, snow 🤣🤣 that’s not ⛄️ snow. I always think to ask but forget do you have pictures of the allotment when you first took it on? It would be lovely spot see side by side of areas. It’s a balmy 1c today but snow on the way tonight. I’m doing nothing but onions 😂 because well I don’t have lights and heat mats. Have an amazing week ladies, keep warm, Ali 🥶❄️🇨🇦 Ps I think you saw my Instagram post about my frozen savoy and spring cabbage 😢😢😢

[@christinamoxon]

Spent a happy hour this morning on the sofa watching this with a cup of tea. Thank you Jessie, I look forward to your videos each week. Pepper variety I'm trying this year is a bell pepper called King of the North (recommended by Eli and Kate and supposedly good for cooler climates). I'm growing the Violet Knight aubergine (purple version of the white one you have). Chillies: Bulgarian Carrot, Aji Lemon, Hungarian Yellow Wax, Jalapeno, Kashmiri Goa, Kerela Kerela and Ancho. Some of them have popped up but they were in the airing cupboard so they're pale and need some light! I need to get the grow lights out pronto! I'm looking forward to growing some of them outside (like Bulgarian Carrot) as they're supposed to be a bit more hardy than other chillies. Fingers crossed.

[@gailg5918]

When I saw Lily heading towards the escaped chickens, I thought it would end badly. I'm so glad that they are friends.😅

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Jessie and your Mum, how wonderful! Those penguins were quite shocked to see you, bless them 🐧 gorgeous fish & turtles too. I have sown, all year cauliflower, melba melon, sweet red pepper, dont know variety, (saved seeds) Louis F1 cucumber. So. I am going to grow along. Lovely video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@eliandkate]

new mic 👏👏👏👏👏👏 blooming marvelous! Listen to how wonderful you sound 😊😊

[@kemipue]

Went a bit mad this year with seed buying 😂. Last year was the first year of getting back into growing things, not had the space or an allotment. Unfortunately due to illness and injury the garden was finished in time to get the plants out but not in time to fruit so keeping fingers crossed for this year. Going for multiple varieties to try loads before I settle on my favourites. Aubergines: Chinese Green Round, White Casper, F1 Galine, Early Long Purple 2, Thai Orange, Striped Toga. Chillis: Korean Gochu, Hot Thai, Buena Mulata, Pearls, Spangles, Thunder Mountain Longhorn, Sugar Rush Peach, Shishito, Sweet Banana. Sweet Peppers: Alma Paprika, F1 Snack Mixed, Tangerine Dream, Colour Spectrum, Winner, F1 Cardinal, Corno di Toro Rosso, California Wonder, Habanada.

[@paulrush5935]

Jessie love watching your content it’s been a fab week of learning with everyone concerned loads of fun

[@orchid8271]

Hello there. I like when you have extra bits like cooking, DIY, out and about all very enjoyable. Best wishes.

[@cindytennessee]

Hey Jess! 🙋🏻‍♀️ There’s more to life than just gardening. Thank you for sharing the aquarium with us! Cindy

[@mrodrigues3127]

Hello I watch your films from Portugal. The climate is different, but I like your way of doing things, good disposition and authenticity. Good luck this year in the garden. I have also sown my first peppers, aubergines and tomatoes in the pollytunel. ❤

[@cherienaera3751]

Had my first cucumber ready to pick, and my little chooks got in to it and ate half! And as my cucumber plants arnt thrivingvthis year that may well be my full harvest!!!

[@Sean.hinchlffe]

New year hasn’t started for me yet. We’ve gone from saturated rain to freezing weather -4c last night & no sign of letting up but it’s Yorkshire (South Pennines) here. I’m not starting my chillies til feb as only got south windowsill above radiator. Onion sow along - slow progress but we have germination. My girlies were hibernating this morning - refused to come out until lunchtime. Great sealife bit & we have a turtle like that called Frodo. Good to see mum all wrapped up & fettling about.

[@ConcreteCauldron]

Jessie,thank you for showing us the London attractions,I’m in Canada and would never see it without your videos!

[@paulrush5935]

Simply enjoyable every vlog you do, sowing chillies first time wish me luck 😊

[@tommeltje1]

Thanks for the beautiful, relaxing video Jessie. 😊

[@jackiemarriott2373]

❤love beginning with the fish jess 😊❤

[@dianemilne3530]

You certainly don’t have to stop talking when an airplane flies over, your mic is fantastic. Loved seeing around the aquarium at the beginning of the video. Please put something in between the shelf and the heat mat or you’re just heating the shelf and that will cost you more. Love watching your videos every week, they are fantastic ❤

[@valeriepritchard677]

You could add a layer of insulation under the propogator and the heat mat so not to waste heat warming up the shelf underneath. A slab of polystyrene for example?

[@sharon1615]

That mic does make a difference, fab vlog Jessie 🥰

[@roberttucker3322]

The new mic has made this channel even better and really professional.

[@jkhuntress]

Hi, I believe Petra's peppers will be sweet varieties, not chilli's. Outside UK, we call sweet pepper = paprika. Xx

[@rosemarytaylor1154]

Hi Jessie, lovely video again. Going to have a go at growing a cucumber this month, a trip to the garden centre later. Globo onion seeds are in, waiting a bit longer before the chillies and peppers go in.

[@orchid8271]

Working my way through your great videos just watched stuffed courgette video really good and yes would love to see more .🌺

[@HouseOfTedYT]

We’re trying January chilli/pepper/aubergine sewing for the first time! Just waiting for my heat mat and lights to arrive. One of the best bits of gardening is the experimentation 👩‍🌾🧡

[@DebbieinNWiltshire]

Hey! Fab update (as always) I really appreciate how authentic you are -very brave being you for all of us randoms😉…. Definitely not something I’d have the confidence to do…but for those grey dark days in winter when I feel I need cheering up I do appreciate your (and others like JB/Tony etc) back catalogue of summer vids.. so a thousand thankyous for that 😊. You asked on varieties -This year I’m trying to rationalise varieties but grow more of each….so I’ve picked 3 peppers Frigitello, Californian wonder & Padron. I’m doing 3 Chilli’s- De cayenne (which I do every year and is my staple) I’m also doing Kashmiri and Anaheim. finally for aubergine I’m also doing 3 varieties.. I do Moneymaker every year as the bulk standard and find it very good, but this year I’m adding in Black Beauty and a Kew variety called pinstripe (black & white stripey)… I planted mine along with the Boxing Day onions.. so they are all up - which I now look lovingly at each day. Not doing the cucumber.. because I’m not a huge cucumber fan..but your thought on the melon has made me curious - so I think I’ll do that experiment with you. BTW loved seeing Nemo and Crush in the aquarium 🤣.

[@KaronSanders-mf7nd]

Thanks

[@mrcogginsgarage7062]

Jessie ,you are sounding much better with the mike Good to see the addition of the heat mat ,but as your using it on a metal shelving unit might be a good idea to put a layer of cardboard between the shelf and the mat so as not to lose heat by warming up the shelf rather than the seed tray hope they grow well for you x.

[@georgemartin9618]

Another exciting vlog from Aquarium 37 .

[@ritahobbs5256]

Beautiful fish! What a gorgeous world we live in 🥰 thanks for that, it really brightened my evening 😊

[@francesbatycki404]

I grew listada last season and the biggest they got was about 10 cm. 🇨🇦❤️. I started them indoors and then put them outside in a raised bed. Both of us found them rather tasteless so no aubergines this coming season.

[@KraftyKaren-7]

Hello Jessie, I’ve been watching you now over a year and your such a delight to follow, always a motivator, and informative I give you credit in helping me with my garden last year. I finally was able to actually have a good harvest of so many vegies last year. And am excited to start up my garden again this coming spring. Although I have to wait for another month as I live in Oklahoma, in zone 7b. Loved you fish aquarium tour love it. Lily had such a beautiful eyes and face not sure what bread she is. And she don’t even bother your chickens, was watching in the video and thought oh no… but she just walked on past them. I’ve never grew micro greens before and I don’t think I would be interested at this time maybe some day. Thanks for showing which seeds your sowing in I’m making notes to give them a go. Say hi to your mom. And cheers to you. Have a blessed day take care!😊

Mic is working really well Jess and we can’t hear the planes either. It’s really great👍

Hi jessie I never thought to protect my chard as my first winter of growing it, I'm growing corner di toro mixed sweet pepper but that's it at the moment, 🌶

[@stewartw7302]

Hi Jessie. You asked to be informed what we are sowing/have sowed in January. Here's my progress so far. Onions on boxing day: Bedfordshire Champion, Globo, Shallot Zebrune. Chillies on New Years Day: Apache F1, Havana Gold, Jalapeno M (Pizza), Padron (Tapas), Srilanus, Sugar Rush Stripey. Sweet Peppers: Black Knight F1, Astor F1, Elfo. Tomatoes last week: Artisan Golden Bumblebee (Cherry), Honeycomb F1 (Cherry), Kaleidoscopic Jewel, Red Cherry (Cherry), Summer of Love, Wooly Kate (Bush). Happy Gardening

Hi Jess, your mic was working great at your plot because I couldn’t hear the planes going overhead. I like the Black Beauty eggplant; I like using it to make eggplant parmigiana.

[@jonquilhawthorne3257]

Nope ! Planes aren't a nuisance anymore 🎉 love your blog & London Eye & museum, super !

The only chilli peppers I grow are Fresno peppers. They’re the perfect heat for so many of my dishes and they’re just always so perfectly beautiful and plentiful. 😊

[@sylviabradley7355]

I love the London scenes. The new microphone is brilliant. Great video💥

[@Stu-Vino]

I'm trying to overwinter some chillis again (they all died on me last year): Serrano, Explosive Ember, Hungarian Hot Wax and Jalapeño. Am keen to try some new ones this year, too - will take a look in the comments for inspiration!

[@Ontariogardener2022]

I found if I stripped all the lower leaf off eggplant it bung out so many I couldn’t eat them all try one plant and see if it works for you leaving only top 4 leaves

[@unpaintedleadsyndrome]

Just sowed the first of my peppers with you chatting along in the background. Going to have a rummage through the rest of my seeds...

[@bewoodford2807]

Hi Jess, to be honest I din't much notice the difference in sound volume between when you didn't have your mic on and when you switched. Heard you loud and clear over the allotment recordings and at the cheers. Loved the blogs etc this week, especially this one. So much info and interest crammed in. Thank you so much. Happy gardening 😃

[@jackiemarriott2373]

19:45 hi jess,just a little tip for ya arches if you paint over the screws n joints of them with hamerite itll reduce the risk of rust.x

[@MaryBornforHealth]

It was such fun seeing the "Eye" again. We were in London about 5 years ago and we rode on the Eye and, What a view! We also did the Duck tour. What a blast! We didn't get to the Aquarium so it was such fun watching you and the fish! Happy New Year and hope 2024 brings you much happiness. Keep wearing that mic. I have one just like it and it encourages me when you wear it that I must wear mine also. Planes, Trains, Trucks etc all interfere with my audio. Mary Born, ND

[@apocalypsegardens]

We need to restock our pickles this year. Boston Pickling, Socrates, and possibly Salt & Pepper are going in.

[@dlsdyer9071]

Brazillian beak peppers, CA wonder, cubanelle, poblanos, manji, salad peppers, purple beauty, habanadas and Japanese long eggplant.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I'm trying habanadas again this year. I sowed some last year but for some reason they stayed super tiny and just weren't growing. I pulled them out and replaced with a couple of shishito peppers from the nursery.

[@dlsdyer9071]

@@kimberlyearly8918 The habanadas needs a longer growing season just like the tobasco. I got two just before freezing time. I have it wintering over in a pot in my dining room and it is just starting to push a bunch of new growth and drop last season’s leaves. All my first year peppers were slower than normal last year. The wintered over ones had me picking June 1. They are living in large pots with extra space at the bottom to hold water. Once the weather turned, we pulled them into the garage where there is laundry and a water heater. Two weeks ago I picked a kale peon and several salad peppers. The garage has light coming in from a window. A small window over a standard door and a row of reinforced windows built into the garage door. It’s not a whole lot of light, but enough.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

@@dlsdyer9071 My plants never got more than a couple of inches tall. They just refused to grow for some reason. Most of my other pepper seedlings did fine.

[@dlsdyer9071]

@@kimberlyearly8918 Did some more reading. They need heat to germinate. They need to be set out at least two weeks after tomatoes. They need really warm soil even then. The suggestion is a mini greenhouse after that. If you have mild summers, it’s a good bet that they won’t do too well.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

@@dlsdyer9071 Did all that too. Had heat mats, grow lights and waited plenty of time to put them out. I have no idea what the problem was but hopefully this year will be different. I really wanna taste them! Did nadapeno and loved them!

[@axiomcurbcommunity]

Awesome video loved the aquarium, aren't those jellyfish just beautiful!? Nice selection of choice for this year's grow. Always do well with cucumbers in bags at waist hight and regularly fed without sitting in hot water all day. Few eggs shells along the bag to keep slugs at bay and you're off to a winner! ❤

Your gallivanting about UK is what separates you from every other gardener here. The camera usually needs to be reset in order for the microphone to sync. And you can always edit the volume within your editing software.

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hello Jessie, this year I am only going to grow two kinds of aubergine plants. The Listada de Gandia and the Ping Tung. The Listada is a medium size compared to the black beauty. The white knight looks just like the Ping Tung only it is white. I have grown all four of these and this year I'm gonna focus on just these two. So I think you'll be happy with the ones you're going to grow. This year I am changing my focus to growing fewer varieties of everything and maybe more of those I choose. Sort of like the single seed challenge where I'm trying to get the best out of each individual variety. I grow an ajvarski pepper which I will use along with the listada aubergine. I roast both of these peel them he raised them together with some other spices creating a sauce that I put into smaller jars and cans to be used throughout the year has a spread or a dip. It is an Eastern European sauce made with many different recipes. My wife is Slovakian and so we cook a lot of recipes from that region combining them with all the other recipes we have. There's a lot of fusion going on. So the intention is to grow the ingredients that I want to use and preserving and or cooking for the year because many of these items you cannot buy at the store and cannot afford to buy on the Internet. It was really great seeing you more regular on the potty mouth and the episode with Tony this week. Also the extra episode you put out this week. Cya next week take care bye for now. Steven

The thing is its not just the dirt cheap compost that's bad, ive tried alot of the stuff thats say £5-6 a bag as I thought well it must be a bit better if the price is a little higher, wrong! it was terrible. Ill happily pay a couple of pound more for melcourt any day

[@Sarahlottie94]

Fab vlog .. Im growing cayenne, Hungarian black,sweet chilli thor,red marconi and Californian sweet and i may consider doing habanero white again but its so hot that I ended up with a zillion in the freezer that we are still working through them

[@nitelite78]

I can't grow aubergines unfortunately. I've only got windowsills - no polytunnel or greenhouse - and all my space is taken by chillis peppers. Chillis come first for me. Maybe one day I'll have space for both. In terms of Chillis I'm growing: Razzmatazz - a small multicoloured annuum chilli. One of those that are seen as ornamental but I love the taste. I use them fresh on Chinese food. Very beautiful plants with the different yellow, orange, purple and red fruits but also the foliage has lovely small, dark green leaves. Killian - An orange cayenne. I always grow a regular unnamed red cayenne for chilli flakes but it's not very productive so wanted something better and this was recommended by the owner of Sea Spring Seeds. Will see how they get on. Joe's Long Cayenne - Same as above. I never have enough chilli flakes to last through the year so I'm hoping growing a really long chilli like this will mean a greater overall yield. I usually also grow hotter chillis like Habanero/Scotch Bonnet which I tend to use for fermented sauces but I'm having a break from that this year. Had a disaster with last years ferment going bad so have been a bit put off from doing ferments. Maybe will get back on that next year.

[@vbrown1889]

Cheers to seed starting! On this side of the pond I just started a few ghost peppers, trinidad scorpions, some sugar rush stripey and a datil cross. My go to aubergine is always Patio Baby because it grows so well outside, but I may try a chonkier variety this year also - you never know what might "jump" into the cart at the garden centre. Looking forward to watching your pepper farm take shape! ;-)

[@tamararoberts9307]

Thx for sharing the aquarium 😊 loved it, so beautiful ❤ this vlog has motivated me to get my seeds started 😀 hoping our melon experiment works 😉 🍻 ❤

[@Anita6687]

Hello Jessie i hope to have a go at the cu like i do each year and a melon. I have a quick basic question about micro greens, do you eat them raw for in salads or do you steam them?. Love the channel, not missed a single episode, hit the like button too 😊. One other small question do you plan still to extend the size of your polytunnel, i think if you did it would be great, or if not maybe you could make a low plastic tunnel on a bed just for some of your lovely peppers or some melons later in the year.

[@GardenMyselfHappy]

Hi I'll definitely try the mics soon. I bought some but they are useless.

[@doreenhutchison1627]

Hi Jessie just to let you know have followed you from the beginning and so enjoy your videos. I have an allotment in south west Scotland but feel it's too early for me yet to sow chillies as lack the space to set up with lights etc just but got success last year sowing at the end of February and kept them on a sunny windowsill until mid May as we can get frost as late as end of May beginning of June

[@thewitch69]

ive not had much luck with aubergine i get big plants lush looking leaves and flowers but the fruit are either really small or non existant but this years im trying a new smnaller one called violet little fingers which are meant to be pretty small but super cute and huge harvest ,,, we will see ,lol maybe i dindt feed mine enough ?

[@jayesophine]

Always enjoy your videos so pleased I found your channel to keep my motivation going. Could you share a link to which heat mat you bought off Amazon? Looks like a useful size need to get my chillies and peppers going

[@Sylvie_M]

The sound was fine however, I''m having trouble feeling sorry for your temps near 0 as we reached -45C over the weekend where I live. LOL I have successfully grown Minnesota Midget but must put it in the most protected, hottest full sun plant space I have. If you like the flavour of sunflower, they are very easy to grow microgreens in a shallow tray of soil. You can even use sunflower bird seed. Also mung beans make great bean sprouts from beans purchased at a bulk food store. You can grow them in a strainer in a dark place, just rinsing twice daily for 4 or 5 days. Yummy crispy sprouts. Instructions on Souped Up Recipes YT site. Cheers!

Hi Jessi fab content as always. This year I have an indoor heated grow space with lights YAY, so Im giving aubergine violetta di firenza a go this year, I managed to sow them in the first week of Jan along with sweet peppers, onions and leeks. Already have lots of different spring onion, mustards, and spinach already sprouting in the greenhouse. Thinking of sowing celery, broccoli and parsnips next, but hope I'm not doing them too early. You know how it is with us giddy gardeners itching to sow seeds lol

It's been great seeing you on KZbin so much in the last week 😊 I don't have my heat mat etc out yet but I am going to try the Sugar rush peach stripey chilli as it looks so good. Fail safe King of the North peppers and save the rest of the space for tomatoes 😊 Hope we have a better season.

[@smudge7212]

Hi Jessie ,was wondering where did you got your new shelving unit your starting your seeds on please?

[@katherillo]

I think you have persuaded me on trying a cucumber... I don't really have inside space but I really want to do it now! I am guessing the main considerations will be choosing an all female variety and also one with smaller fruit. Anything else I need to consider? Pepper wise I am also giving Lipstick a go in the hope I can actually get an outdoor harvest. Also growing an outdoor chilli from real seeds called Nigels Outdoors Chilli.

Hey Jessie don't know if I just can't see it but just wondering if you can post link to the seed heat mat 😁

[@debbiespitznagel1472]

I think the new mic makes everything sound like a voice over. Can't really hear any outdoor noises, which I do like. I do like the mic when you're at home much better.💗 I bought heat mats last year and I love them! The seeds just pop up so quickly. I'm really happy with mine. I'll begin my onion seeds some time in February. I live in zone 6b here. Then sometime after that, I'll start my peppers and eggplants. I'm planning on going away in April, so it's a bit scary to leave all the seedlings I'll be growing with someone else caring for them. What were the peppers you sowed before Red Bullhorn? I think you only planted 3 seeds???
