The Gardening Season Isn't Over Yet | Harvests To Come

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi JB, shame about the blight, i bike ride to my plot through our local park weekly (weather permitting). If not, i walk, too. Its lovely to get fresh air & exercise, so good for our souls. Your beetroot & pepper's looking really good. Great vudeo update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@juliefowkes9796]

I have to comment on your T-shirt. My son’s favourite band, he was very impressed when I showed him a still of you on this video “he’s got good taste in music “ was his response!

[@kitchengardengrows]

Lovely vid JB. I grew the Piquante peppers this year to do the same thing, after you recommended CC recipe, but like you only have a few. I trialled using just regular sweet peppers in the same pickling solution and it works an absolute treat, they are gorgeous! In fact I may reduce the sugar just slightly as they are very sweet- being sweet peppers! I'll probably do a mixed jar now with the piquante chillies, Champion and sweet red peppers.

[@marilynstanbury5098]

How lovely to see you back with your usual enthusiasm, lifted my spirits. Thanks

[@alastairsampson5003]

The white beetroot is gorgeous roasted, really sweet. As already mentioned, beetroot & orange chutney is heavenly with a really good cheddar. Look no further than the bbc good food recipe.

[@Carol-oc7mx]

Good to see you getting your mojo back and what a great harvest

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey JB Lotsa pepper talking and showing today. You have some really nice ones there. The red California Wonder have dark patches due to the anthocyanins. I do know the the California Wonder esp the red ones and also the pale yellow banana peppers will show blueish purple streaks when they make the anthocyanins. Most other peppers do not have much if any at all.

I like this guy, talks so relaxed and chill but deep down is dedinitely a dark lord! Dont mess with this guy.

[@rosemarytaylor1154]

Hi JB, I lost all my outdoor Roma tomatoes too. My fault, planted too many and too close together a lesson learnt for next year.

[@lynnegunns604]

What a lovely chilli and tomato harvest and the plot is coming back together again it’s so good to see you back fine form JB.

[@janebolton8971]

Nice to see you happy again 😊

[@JohnDenton-p4j]

Nice to see you’re get up and go is back buddy happy gardening 🧑‍🌾

[@MartinMilloy-b8o]

Hello from Scotland I love your videos mate

[@JBNat]

Thanks very much!

[@KellyWoodroffe]

Epic tomato harvest JB. Have you got a favourite this year?

[@PacificGardening]

Fan of the T Shirt🤘🏻

[@vanessawilkinson7089]

Good to see you JB and hope next season is a brighter one for you. I have clay soil & have tried no dig by topping my beds with mushroom compost but it’s still rock hard, so over winter I’m going to dig it in. So partial no dig. Also have clubroot so trying some resistant seed next year. My neighbours have bindweed & I’ve done so much to clear my plot so will prob have to use some glyphosate! Needs must. Can I ask for beginner chili variety recommendations? My usual go to are Basket of Fire / Hot Wax / Cayenne and Curry. Was looking for a Smokey one I can dry and also a fruity one. Ta 🎉

[@microheavy21]

I went from the way you think about Beetroot to it being one of my main crops. My favourite is to boil them gently in their skins (which come off easily after cooking) and serve with potatoes, slices of nice mild onions (Radar), some of your tomatoes and smoked mackerel (from a packet) with a drizzle of olive oil and a proper sprinkle of salt. Delicious .

[@suecreese]

Tidy job. Beetroot and orange chutney is lovely.

[@JBNat]

That sounds delicious!

[@DragonflysWish]

Couple of days ago, I got so scared of the turn of weather and potential blight (first year allotment and no polytunnel yet). I harvested all my tomatoes green :( Going to pickle them tonight and hope for the best :) Impressive chillies :) Mine didn't grow more than a foot and no fruit, so will overwinter them :)

[@mrich1416]

Great harvest JB!

[@juliehartley3652]

Great harvest 😊

[@RawLondonGardener]

Lovely chilli harvest, top stuff

[@glassbackdiy3949]

Good show, cheers JB

[@PreatorRaszagal]

Nice harvest! Awesome sweater! 🤘Haha "fort fox". Love it 😄Awww, why no jigsaw taste test 🤪Hope the remaining tomatoes have time to ripen! 🤞

[@lesliestevenson5261]

A culinary match. The trick for beetroot is to pair it with thyme. So, new gardeners, make sure you grow both. Add chickpeas, and you're laughing. Not sure we can grow chickpeas here in UK.

[@alanyoung1723]

I have 2kilos of mine fermenting so far

[@charissatroup5611]

I find the California Wonder is better as a green pepper, but I'm also impatient, and tend to pick things early, lol. Have you ever tried eating the beet greens? They're really nice cooked (just wilted) up with onion and garlic.

[@Dawn_Grows_Veg]

Great horvests JB I really thought you were going to taste that Jigsaw and was waiting 😮😱🫣 but then no phew! 😅 What are you going to use the super hots for?

[@PatrickKazmierczak-j6i]

The poly tunnels on my allotment site get wrecked every year by the wether. There’s one bloke though who positioned his in I fairly sheltered spot and then built foundations and reinforcements for it and he has no issues. I’m lucky, got a pretty big greenhouse and it’s solid. So far so good!… he says! Keep the videos coming dude. You’re my chilli guru 🌶️

[@PatrickKazmierczak-j6i]

Actually, your poly tunnel looks pretty well engineered…

[@JBNat]

Thank you it was a mission to rebuild myself! Very pleased with it. The damage is from foxes unfortunately but I have a chicken wire fence which deters them now. There's a whole playlist of the build if you're interested! kzbin.info/aero/PLN4LsN_65N2Zo0n_BBn6cI-7s6kLcf9Kb&si=NC_AsgiQWRV1yEwY

[@PatrickKazmierczak-j6i]

@@JBNat thanks. I’ll check it out

[@freckles2437]

We definitely need some recipe segments JB, do you have a good chilli jam recipe? Jo Devon 🙂

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

If you harvesting and weeding 2 birds one stone

[@amandar7719]

Fox Knox 😂 Our chillies are somewhat bland so far this year. 😢

[@wendybarry5563]

Hi JB, i grew the thunder mountain long horn this year. My plants looked pretty much similar to yours and i wasn't impressed with the taste too. I think they look impressive but don't have the taste. I won't be growing them again next year.

[@JBNat]

@@wendybarry5563 thanks so much for letting me know!

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

JB. I really want to see you try that jigsaw chilli. 😁😅

[@reallysmallfrisby]

Jheez those are some whopping harvests you've had. I gotta get me a polytunnel for next year. And that hot bin? Gonna hunt around your past videos to find out about that.

[@JBNat]

The hotbin has been very interesting! I inherited both the polytunnel and the hotbin from my good friend Steve from Green Side Up when he sadly passed away last year. Hotbin is a lot of work and a very costly investment. I'm yet to crack it open properly and find out how good the compost is though.

[@alecmacpherson2696]

[@philipwilson4025]

Hi JB I’m going to grow some chillis for next year I need some help with a mild chilli 🌶️ plant to grow any help with this will be a great help

[@LisaEgan-o2h]

Could I ask where you purchased the large hot bin please

[@JBNat]

@@LisaEgan-o2h hiya, this was inherited from my dear friend Steve from Green Side Up. They're from the Hotbin Company and they're serious pieces of kit. When I empty this one I'll work on getting the ground a little more level and possibly cover it too.

[@LisaEgan-o2h]

@@JBNat aww thank you I have heard you and Jessie talk about him but not watched any of his blogs as yet. It’s our first year on an allotment and I am wanting to purchase a hot bin and that is a fabulous size. Thanks again I will look into it

[@linaso9739]

What kind of jalapeños are you growing? They look a bit different from typical jalapeños which usually do not have pointy ends.

[@JBNat]

@@linaso9739 they're the cc Jalapeño and holy cow they are Hot!
