Winter on the Allotment - Broad Beans go out and Nest Boxes for the Girls go in! Ep 250 || Plot 37

[@Brenda-xc7sq]

I never tire of seeing your chickens hopping in and out of their pen - they make me smile every time. Nice video ofcourse.

[@tommeltje1]

Yes! Love it to..😂

[@Mr_Gray_Sky]

Yesss, it's so good. Especially sped up

[@cindisinkula4271]

I was thinking the same!

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Jessie and your Mum, your girlie's can be fussy. it's soo good to be 😊 my cucumbers are doing well too, 2nd leaves are appearing 😊 your seedlings are looking really good. It has been very cold, I went to my plot last Wednesday and it was 10C, I got some much done that day, and then the very cold weather returned 🥶🥶 wow! 250 episodes, thats brilliant. How time flies. Lovely plot update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@annamariestone675]

Love watching you every Wednesday here in Canada.The true" Across the pond".

[@Dawn_Grows_Veg]

Huge cheers to 250 vlogs Jessie, what an amazing achievement. Over the last (nearly) 5 years, you have introduced me to Chard (who knew it could be so pretty, so delicious, versatile and easy to grow) and my now favourite potatoes Red Duke of Yorks. Several new tomato varieties over the years have found their way into my must grow lists as well, perennial veg like 9 star broccoli and tree cabbage and Cavolo Nero. All now staples in my own veg garden. Thank you.

[@7zerobakes]

Hehehehhh! Love the inner voice ‘afterthought’ Jessie 😂 Fab as always. Competition idea: The Shidy Ted Competition. I don’t think I’ll ever forget you saying that 😂 Thank you and your mum for 250 fabulous Tuesdays! 🎉

[@NeilRichins]

Wow, Kudos on your 250th video! I started watching your blog because my dog likes watching gardening shows and seems to enjoy watching yours the most. She perks up and pays attention to every word you say. Thanks for making a brilliant series, I like your unstaged approach and transparency with things you try and don't always turn out as expected. Very inspiring to watch when my own gardening doesn't go as well as I had hoped. Many thanks, N

[@Gardenofglory-l6v]

Hi Jess my country is sunny with some high winds and some off and on showers that’s great, because it make gardening easier not much watering to do, great video today keep warm ❤and happy gardening.

[@smellslikedirt525]

Congrats on 250 episodes. Have loved your garden progression all these years. It is -17C here and we rarely get this cold. We are getting snow too in good old North Carolina. Ready for this polar vortex to be gone. I am ready for spring. My broad beans have survived thus far. Love watching the chicky hop,

[@tassiegirl1991]

250 episodes and each brought a smile to my face. Thanks Jess

[@bowtielife]

We both know those girlies have access to the same internet we do. As soon as you head home they gather around their cell phone and look on the Harrods web site to see how much you did (or did not) spend on those great nesting boxes. If it's not on Harrods it will not be good enough! 🤣😂🤣 Those germinations look FANTASTIC!!! Woohoo!! I've got so many new birds in my garden this year. I am going to have to get identifying and recording to celebrate the weekend! Not as part of the RSPB survey, since I am in Florida... just for the fun of it!

[@peacefulgarden]

Wow! 250. Amazing! Congratulations Jess 🎉🎉 It's been an honor to tag along ❤❤ Can't wait for 260 😉😉 Perhaps you could bake a BIG CAKE and have a wee party with all those who have passed through your camera lens for us to see 😊 P.S. It's -20 C here tonight (-28 with the wind). Blerk! 😜

[@jeanlauridsen8596]

Beautiful Jessie.

[@fairyflits4212]

Congratulations. I really enjoy every episode. Thank you,❤🐔🐓🐓🌺🌷🌼🥂

[@lorrainegrey8240]

Congratulations on 250 anniversary I’ve loved every single one!!!! I love watching you, mum , girlies and Lilly on KZbin and discord you’re my fave!!!!!!❤xxx

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝Thanks for the great video🌻

[@Tazzmaniac66]

I can't blame the girlies, i would react exactly the same.. 🙂Brussel sprouts are good for one thing, and that is the bin.. 🙂

[@davidbaker2182]

Cheers on 250 !

[@mrcogginsgarage7062]

Number 250 feels like only yesterday when I started watching you never miss a week highlight of my Tuesday evening congratulations and very many thanks

[@sharlahill8808]

My cucumbers and peppers are about the same size! They came up really fast so there is hope here in Oregon! Major germination and growing issues last year so fingers crossed for all of us❤

[@feltaria9177]

I had assumed Lil wouldn’t be a mouser as she’s sooooo fluffy. Cats are endlessly surprising. I think dank is the word that sums up that cold damp weather. It was horrible here (Cheltenham) on Sunday. Congratulations on 250. 🎉

[@Hhaahland4]

I decided to slow down the video to .25x when you were building the nest box, something I’ve never done with a video before, and you were hilarious Jessie. Like you were just coming round from anesthesia. 😂

[@alicegreen5177]

Your disgruntled chicken face at the end - 👌giggling. I discovered you when forced back from my Japan holiday early 2020 - it may have been your second episode. Tuesday evenings have been something to look forward to ever since. xx

[@alicegreen5177]

ps today's practice bird watch - a fat robin, a fat black bird, a fat wren and some fat brown jobbies. They grow fat in my allotment.

[@annaking9213]

I loved when you called the girls and they ran and jumped over the fence. Nice salad patch. Have a good week.

[@phaethon3124]

there are fans for grow tents with flaps that move to change the breeze direction instead of having a swivelling head, they are free standing and square and take a lot less room than the tradition style desk fans.and more stable on a soft tent floor...swivelling fans will eventually seize up in the humid environment of a grow tent

[@cannymoose]

my girlies loved washing up bowls to nest in haha

[@TheAxeer]

Congrats to 250, love watching you ,mum,girlies and lil. How about a competition and the prize to be one of the growing trainers that you grew your broad beans in, they look fab. See you next time, 😊

[@sharlahill8808]

Oh and congrats on 250!🎉 And thank you for making me smile I needed it after yesterday and the next 4 years please keep it up!

[@kaia41]

It seems to me Lilly might be a norwegian Forestcat, as far as I know, the only breed, that is capable of leaving a tree like you described it. I had one my self, many years ago and she looked just like her. And they are very talkative and social. 🥰

[@myrustygarden]

😂😂 the best part is you correcting yourself on the b&w portions. Well not the best but you know what I mean. Have a fab week, Ali 🥶🥶🇨🇦

[@mattyfraser9487]

Cut down the front of the chicken hutch and put some hinges use it as door and then you can slide the boxes out ? Regards as always ❤

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

last year was a little tough for gardening even here in the USA (Arkansas)so i built a new high tunnel 90% now under plastic now have tunnels

[@alisonward3167]

Lily is adorable and would make a perfect girl friend for my equally fluffy boy. Like my boy, she looks like a Norwegian forest cat breed so built for the outdoors 🥰

[@marilynstanbury5098]

Perhaps your brain has frozen! Well done with your videos, I always look forward to them. Particularly the girlies jumping over the fence in and out of their house and dear Lil, thanks

[@joj1252]

Happy 250th 🎉 Jessie. I’m laid in bed poorly barking with laughter at that. Great mistake recovered well 😂 I think you had brain freeze from it being so cold 🥶 you should have cheersed with a hot toddy 🥃 it’s non stop fun & learning with you. What’s not to like. And I’ve just bought the minestra thanks to you 🙏🏻 can’t wait to try it

[@Jimsraisedbedgarden]

Congratulations on reaching 250 Jessie , keep up the good work xx

[@suebradford890]

Congratulations on 250! For the Birdwatch I've got the bird chart which was free in the Daily Mail - but I'm familiar with all the species anyway. I think my numbers are going to be better this year hopefully. Cheers Jessie😄🍷!!

[@rosemarytaylor1154]

Hi Jessie, congratulations on reaching 250 episodes. Not much happening on the plot at the moment although i have started my cucumbers. Had a trip to the garden centre this morning bought a few more seeds and dahlia tubers. Can't wait to get started .

[@sheilanichols3647]

Place a few golf balls or fake eggs in the boxes to encourage the girls to lay eggs in the new boxes.

[@jaynekennedy8469]

If you have spare broad beans you could put them in a big pot and keep them in the greenhouse to get some early broad beans

[@tommeltje1]

Concratulations 250 episodes! 🎉 Thanks Jessie and mum! 💐

[@catht05]

Being following and watching since nearly the beginning thank you 🎉 I enjoy every Tuesday night ❣️

[@dotathillcrest]

Congratulations on 301 videos..

[@angelialafbery508]

Oh jessie... you never fail to make me smile but this week... I laughed out loud.. 😂. Thank you 😂

[@silviabakken6993]

🎉😂i hope at episode 260(😂🎊) you and your mum celebrate and eat a good plot dinner and hopefully film it so we can see all your good hauls from the plot in a plate🥰😋😋 thanks for the video❤️

[@Kay-outdoors459]

Congratulations on 250 episodes, cheers to you & look forward to 5 year anniversary ❤❤

[@Erika-tu4tm]

It was -18 F here in the Rockies last night, so we are really enjoying watching your garden today! Cheers!

[@TjitskeG]

Yay for 250! Your vlogs cheer me up everytime! We've had nothing but grey, damp, foggy weather here. 😮‍💨 Hopefully the sun will return soon. (Side note: my name is still on the end, but I unfortunately had to end my monetary support a while back, so you can take it off.)

[@alison3276]

I’ve just chortled my way through another fun and informative video 😊 Cheers, Jess! (PS I do think it’s good to speak to your plants…even if it is in an ever so slightly threatening tone 😄)

[@Sylvie_M]

Your nest boxes are the same as we had on the farm I grew up on. Good luck with the girlies! So glad you lose you mind too! Now that I am aging, many around me accuse me of that more and more (when it isn't true). Welcome to the club! LOL Stay warm and good luck on National Bird Count Day. And good job on the vids.

[@lobodo988]

5th Anniversary Suggestion: DECOR! A string of bunting & a new scaregoddess?

[@jensissons5709]

Can you please, put on the show, the full clip of how your dad built the fruit cage. I keep pretty seed packets for junk journaling.

[@lindafoster4628]

Congrats for your 250 vlog, l have been watching you since you started, look forward to Tuesday's episode every week 😊, l live down on the south east coast in hastings, its wet, cold and foggy , so much the same as you 😢

[@__Shellspace__]

haha the end was like the matrix of after thoughts i had to count back too lol , aye on to this year after all everyones been different

[@packettoplate]

208 🤣the joys of getting old , roll on 260 ill be turned for that , another great vlog as always you take care and your mum .

[@postie470]

Hi Jessie, I was interested in the clip about the root trainer boxes and how well the Broad Beans had done in them. I have just purchased 3 of them along with 4 sets of spare root trainers so I am looking forward to some successful growing this year and hopefully many years to come

[@brucemills6755]

I think chili's that aren't stressed don't make as much heat. Try keeping the water down as they get towards the end of the fruiting stage.

[@jeffjeffreym1830]

I planted my first broad beans out on Sunday. They had got a bit leggy, so I buried them really deep. Looks like you have good soil.

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

fresh seed is more vigorous and make more productive plants

[@joy-unhinged]

Cheers to 295 videos 🍻

[@joem2745]

250! We're growing old!

[@kathysumner1443]

Happy 250 jessie.

[@jimmason1072]

Nice to see the green grass....here in 🇨🇦 -29c with the wind tonight ....spring is aaaaallllllooonnnng way off...here 5/8" thk. Plywood x 48" x 96" it's $48 Canadian dollars so say 27 pound...

[@mysteryquilter]

Love those root trainers - great timing as I will be over from NZ in April so might have to get some to take back :)

[@missreg333]

Congratulations on 250 episodes❤ Love your girls!❤

[@Tamsins_Potager]

The chook look 😅😅😅

[@brucemills6755]

Our high temperature in Southern wisconsin was -2 Fahrenheit

[@annaking9213]

250 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🎉🎉🎉

[@jaynekennedy8469]

B&Q offer a cutting service, so you can get one large sheet and they will cut it down to the sizes you want. One large sheet cut up for you might be cheaper than several small sheets. Good luck!

[@juliehartley3652]

10 weeks to April woo hoo! Happy 250th Episode. Can't think of anything to do for 260 but it'd be nice if it was something Spring related. Cheers!

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

always like to watch how you garden every country does it differently mine are all high tunnels

[@mags9536]

Wow!! 250. Fantastic 🎉

[@estherevans9844]

Maybe make a nice celebratory meal for mum and you, with things from plot as well as a glass of wine 🎉 and maybe a piece of artwork for comp? Xx

[@TeresaEdwards-kw3np]

Kids,outside=loud +add in ball bouncing on driveway(my granddaughters) nice to see them outside, though. Congrats to 260, YAY, Jessie! I enjoy seeing you and your mum so much& look forward to all your great content

[@annthomson-ewers2835]

Maybe do a piece of art work or plot number display to one lucky winner 😀

[@IlkkaVuoristo]

Imagine the celebrations in 2030! It'll have been eight full years of vlogs.

[@stevendowden2579]

congratulations jessie just keep them coming

[@penelopewelton9051]

Well done (250)

[@jaynekennedy8469]

Congrats on the germination, but your grow lights should only be about 2” above your plants, so that they don’t get too leggy

[@richardhart7652]

Get some fake eggs or even golf balls put one in each nest box it will encourage them to use them, if a cat gets up a tree or whatever it can get itself down just open a tin of it's favourite food and place it at the base of the tree, our cat catches and kills mice voles rats and squirrels on a regular basis, he once brought home a live pole cat and let it loose in the kitchen then walked away leaving Jean and I to deal with this spitting ball of fluff and unbelievable anger and ferocity, eventually managed to shue it out the door

[@irenesmith5676]

Congratulations 🥂 on 250 videos 👏👏👏👏 lv Irene 😘 xx

[@rubiccube8953]

Your back editing is funny. The first one of your blogs that saw was on sowing spring onions. The orchid show at Kew is next month. That will be a nice warm gardening experience.

[@susiespearing6165]

I will simply say it's a jolly good job your a brilliant grower and don't work with money 😂

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Our girls are the same Jessie. Don't like sprouts, chard, turn their beaks up at most brassicas. Like lettuce, but that's about it. Congrats on 250 videos!! x

[@elisabov]

Congrats with 250!

[@Chuglife07]

Happy 250th!

[@phaethon3124]

i used Oriented Strand Board for my raised sandy bed for carrots.thought it might get waterlogged and break but it has lasted a year ok..maybe this would be good for chicken houses

[@sarah3136]

Don't forget the diatom 😁

[@elizabethjames1053]

👏👏 congratulations on 250 or what ever it may be 🤣🤣🤣 , Hori hori knife on your broad bean bed if you didn't pick it up ?

[@Stickladylove1]

Hi Jesse, we’re doing the bird watch and we have done for the past few years. Normally we get collared doves, pigeons, blackbirds and the odd robin. Congrats on your vlogs, I’ve enjoyed watching you from 2020 🎉🎉

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

fly us all there ha ha

[@shirleyn4677]

Oh dear, Jessie, your brain must have froze.😂. Here in Texas we finally got an inch of…snow. Last two days the YT forecaster though very entertaining was spitting out percentages of possible atmospheric moisture and it finally rang true. Yay. I’m not that enthused ‘cause Texas drivers being in the south are notoriously bad drivers. So garden pots frozen. Expecting another freeze tonight. By Wednesday we may have some pleasant weather above freezing. Waiting on seed order so still not sowing yet. It’s winter!🥶

[@Scouser22]

Try lying the nest box flat on the floor and lift it up keeping it horizontal ?

[@LucRom-kz5uw]

[@helenjeindl524]

In the sign writing industry they use a product called coreflute. It is a plastic version of sandwiched corrugated cardboard, really hard wearing and strong. I'm just wondering if it would be an option for you to use for the nesting boxes, being plastic it might be more user friendly when cleaning. If you ask them the sign writer might even cut your pieces to size for you. Cheaper option. This is the name of it in Australia but I assume there is a British counterpart. Worth investigating. 🥰😻😻🌱

[@jaynekennedy8469]

Perhaps push to get to 30,000 subscribers on your 5th anniversary, that would really be something!

[@lawrencebeeles6338]

hot and dry make the best peppers 😅

[@bthyme]

If you do end up remaking the nest boxes, that small number of chickens really don't need so many nests. I would think two, or even one would be fine.
