An Interview with Mum: The History of Plot 37! Ep 200 Special || Plot 37 

Congratulations! I started going to my dad’s allotment with him and helping him out in the first lockdown after my mum passed away. It was my dad that told me about your channel and would say things like ‘have you seen Jessie has started her … seeds’ and next time we met up he would have started his too. The door to our brassica house is based on the design for the door on your poly house! When he sadly passed away last year, he had been on the allotment for 16 years. I have continued with the plot on my own. It really is a love that gets passed down the family! All the best

The serendipity of your parents wandering onto an allotment 35 years ago is truly our good fortune. Wonderful episode about the history of plot 37. Thank you! ❤

What a great record of the allotment's life! Your mum is so interesting! Happy 200th - watched every one!

Wow 200! Loved looking back at the evolution of Plot 37 💕. Appreciate that you two share it and all the going on’s with us each week. 🥂🥂

Fascinating, funny and a fitting tribute to Mom… heroine of The Plot…over the entire history of 37 and 36A…Plots….Amazing👌👌👏…Absolutely loved every bit of the ‘interview’… and thanks to ‘Dad’s photographs too oroviding some brilliant visuals from various stages of the plots evolution …Think that whole thing is a very significant historical record of the ‘Allotment Movement in this Country…( And I am Really Serious, when I say that … You Two Allotmenteers👍👍)…Loved the fitted carpet walkways!!!…and why not 😳😃!!!Your dad/ husband( who looked like a trendy type back in the day…)and Mom was very elegant too….Don’t know about that little copper headed little ‘person’ though!!?….looks like a bit of a ‘handful’ tome 😱😳???. History of the the Girlies was lovely too ..particularly the gigantic red one….and Moms devotion to them before she ‘twigged’ they went to bed on their own 🤣🤣….Wonderful celebration altogether with the Champers!!…even though some memories were lost in the ‘mists’ of time…until photos jogged the memories…Then the lights went Out!? 😳….Here’s to the next 200 Folks and Thank you so Very Much for continually producing the brilliant PLOT 37 episodes.. which have always been THE BEST … 🏅🥇🏆❤️….P.S… noticed that ‘Lil’ positioned herself prominently behind you …as if we would forget Her !!!👏👏👏🐈…Sue (Bham..still a big and faithful fan )

OH MY GOODNESS!!! Jessie!!! You are second generation entertainment ROYALTY!!!🤩🤩🤩 You truly came by it honestly!!! That really is awesome! 👏 Great interview with Mum and all! Great 200th episode!

Bloomin' fantastic special, ladies. Loved every minute of it! Thank you. Oh my gosh. You look so much like your mum did in her earlier photos. Amazing! Congratulations on your 200th. Happy gardening 😃

This was wonderful to watch. What a legacy ladies. ❤

Congratulations! I enjoyed hearing the history of your plot and the early photos were great. Your mom is such a hard working woman. Think how many hundreds (thousands?) of hours she has spent gardening, weeding, planting, digging, etc. on that plot!!

Gardening and history - my husband and I are rewatching this video (3rd time) tonight because it reminds us of our parents gardening styles from childhood. 😂 Thanks Mom for helping tell the plot story! ❤ Thank you to anyone who helped save pictures! 😊

What a lovely insight to seeing the history of your allotment. I wish I could see your dad joining the interview with your mum.❤

I love the carpet 😂 In our new house we were digging out in a back corner. Ran into a whole roll of carpet. And under it was a pair of fishing waders. I had a total panic for a minute thinking I’d dug up a body 🤣

Ohh, thank you!!! Mum and Jessie, for all the great advices, laughs and joy you both are to everyone and me. Especially with such an episode. Congratulations. Loved the photos, what an amazing treat. All the best!!!!!! Saskia

I don’t normally comment as you cover everything and I don’t need to ask anything but………… What a wonderful track back in time and to see how it has evolved. Thank you for sharing ❤

Lovely watching the chat between you and your Mom. 🎉

Wow!-you are the spitting image of your Mom when she was younger. Is she Australian? ( never heard her talk for long before)

Enjoyed this so much. Thank your Mum for joining. Loved seeding the progression of the plot!

Lovely to see your mum so animated. She has really improved since her op. She's far more relaxed and smiley. You do have an excellent relationship. The sally into the past of the allotment was really fascinating. It changed a lot over the years. I'd love to have more growing space, I only have one raised bed and a couple of small patches. I love all your videos, including potty mouth...well done you! 🌺

Wow thank you Colin those are such cherished pictures to see. Such a lovely story to hear ❤. Looking forward to the next 200 ladies. Stay safe and keep warm, Ali 🥶🇨🇦

🎉 fantastic 👍 lovely to see how it has grown and matured into a natural ecosystem that it is now. Good for the soil and the soul. Well done! 💯💯

Fantastically interesting, thank you Jessie and Mum (and Colin)! Um I am one of those people who still has carpet paths on their plot, and now I feel like a proper throwback.... Love and mojo!

Wow 35 years there. That is great. I would love to see some of the neighbors who have been neighbor allotments there since the 70s. What fun stories from the different decades and different trends of the times, like the carpet. I like your reasoning for starting the Instagram. I can write in my diary calendar, but I've learned I'm terrible at placing a name spike by the seed. Take care

The trees give it a nice cozy feeling much likeca cottage garden and few plots Look as nice as yours so kkep it up Ladies👍.

Just watching this now and yup, can confirm we must have every carpet change of the previous plot holder from the 1970's onwards. It's a nightmare. I've only got a 1 litre car so trying to get rid of it properly is a nightmare. We also found loads of that horrible shredded weed matting we all have so much, paint cans, car sunscreens and cracked and broken plastic used among many other horrors that I don't want. I keep getting told to ignore it or burn it, neither of which is acceptable to me. Unfortunately I bought a load of heavy duty weed matting which promised that it didn't agree but guess what...... It was lovely to hear he history of your plot. I hope that one day my currently tarpaulin covered plot is as nice as yours. Keep up the good work and great vlogs

What a great video , your mum is a star . It does highlight the importance of taking pictures while doing an allotment, because otherwise these moments are lost forever, which is a shame when that happens

The first episode I saw was you building your polyhouse, Ep 34? I was hooked! Then I went back and watched all of the previous vlogs. It was heaven. You guys have come a long way. All the best!

Congratulations, Jessie and mum, what an achievement and what a joy every Tuesday. Thank you so much.

Many Congratulations Jessie on your 200th🎉 it’s been a pleasure watching your vlogs from the beginning. This weeks episode was so interesting with you and Mom talking about the early days and on to the plot as we know it now. Loved every minute and thanks so much for sharing with everyone. Hers to the next 200 👩‍🌾

Congratulations on 200 episodes. Loved seeing that walk through memory lane, photos of the changing plot and seeing you and your mum younger. And your dad on TV!! Wow what a colourful history plot 37 has (and I don't just mean your dad's shirt!) Such a lovely episode. Cheers 🥂

Really enjoyed this episode Jessie, how wonderful to be carrying the tradition. I can see where you get all your skill of growing & building from. Congratulations to you & Mum and Cheers🥂

Congratulations Jess, you're very like your mum.. Lovely to see the history and video of your dad.. Many more to come!! 🎈🎉

1. Congratulations on 200 and a lovely video. 2. Seeing your dad's structures, I was tempted to send you pictures of our efforts with standardised raised beds and interchangeable "lids" (2x1 frames and chicken wire!).

A truely origional presentation and memories are always precious

Wow, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed that video. It was lovely to hear you both talking about your memories. Thanks so much for sharing your content every single week. You're well and truly part of my routine now.

It’s so lovely you get to be so close with your mum

I found you when you had about 1100-1200 subs, I remember you didn’t have enough subs to make $. It was in the autumn, I do remember that. I’m incredibly amazed at all your knowledge and ability. Now I know where you got your carpentry skills. This was one of the most awesome videos you have made. Thanks Jessie🥰Pammyjill Florida 🇺🇸

Congratulations Jessie and Mum. Fantastic episode.

Must be all that loverly compost making the oak tree grow well

Congrats on 200 Episodes Jessie! Great to hear about the life of the allotment from when Mum and Dad got it until the present day. a fitting 200th episode

Such a great watch learning the history of such a loved plot! Also a great reminder that good things take time! I often get on myself about not having my one year old garden looking and performing like the dream in my head, patience grasshopper, patience :)

I really enjoyed watching how the allotment has evolved over the years,you've got great memories to look back on. Thanks for taking us on your allotment journey. I've watched every week and have learnt so much from you. Look forward to the next 200 episodes. Thank you 😊

Apologies….im so far behind! I’ve missed loads of your vids ( sorry) CONGRATULATIONS on number 200! Was lovely hearing & seeing the history of plot 37. You obviously got your building skills from your dad. Here’s to the next 200……cheers Jessie & mum ( Kathy) 🥂🍾 xx

Jessie that was a wonderful and lovely video ❤❤❤❤ Your Mum is a Star 👍👍👍👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

What a lovely trip down memory lane!

By god, Jess, you're your mothers daughter. I've probably watched all your videos, but this one is fucking brilliant. Well done, Lass.

What a beautiful episode Jess and mum, memories and now video evidence for the future. Very lucky Jess to have this time with mum, something as a child I dreamed I’d have, but like your mum I moved to the other side of the world from family just the opposite direction. Congratulations on episode 200 enjoyed and still enjoying every one. All the best from a sunny but not hot Tasmania.

Heartiest congratulations Jessie and Mum .

Congratulations to you and mum! It’s been so enjoyable to watch. I started watching in lockdown when I wasn’t busy on my own plot here in Somerset and it’s been so helpful and entertaining too!

Absolutely loved listening to you and your mum telling us about your mum and dads journey, my gosh the allotment was very smart, your dads raised beds and cages he made, very neatly put together layout design great too! I bet your mum and dad’s plot was a talking point between other plot holders back then ha!! Just perfect! Cheers to the next 200 vlogs😅 🎉🥂🍾

Amazing achievement Jessie. Absolutely loved the historic photos. Glad to be on the current part of the journey. Here's to the next 200! 😂😂

Thank you for sharing your allotment, a really wonderful video, great to see you and your Mum all those years ago and also now enjoying yourselves together. Love it, thanks.

Congratulations ladies 🍾

utterly brilliant - I LOVED this little walk through memory lane :D

Here's to many more years and episodes xx

So nostalgic to see you as a child with your mom and that you are still so close. I found your channel just after you started and you helped me through a tough time in my life. I am following you still. You remind me of my own daughter but sadly she lives in Canada so we cant spend the time together that you have with your mom. I was growing in a small garden and just got my first allotment a week ago which is just in time for my retirement next month. Wishing you and your mom continued good health and I hope you keep the channel going. I will be following along each week and continuing to learn from you. PS I hope a tv station discovers you soon you are just lovely and a pleasure to watch. When I am down you lift my soul. Thank you Jessie from Ireland

What an interesting interview with your mom. I missed alot of your vlogs. I have put on my notification bell. Lovely vlog. I really admire your mom. Felicity Jacobs, Cape Town, South Africa

Congratulations Jessie 🥂🍾🎉 What a lovely episode, I loved hearing all anout all the history of the plot and a nice chat with yoir mum ❤

Just stumbled onto your channel. New to allotment gardening. Guess what plot number I have inherited from my local council - 37!! Great knowing the history of your plot. Now I know why I dug up so much carper from my plot 😂 Looking forward to some great tips as I embark on this journey 😊

I absolutely LOVED this episode!!! Thank you so much for sharing this memorable part of you and your family! ❤

24:50 Totally thought that was a hedgehog huffing sound there.

Congrats on 200 vlog milestone, looking forward to next 200 I started watching your channel in lockdown, remember it being unusually warm and spending lots of time on my plot , also plot 37,and thinking how lucky I was.Watched your channel ever since and found it very helpful in many ways.cheers Jessie

This is the greatest episode ever! Love your family background and the info about The allotment is particularly interesting to me in California as I had no idea how that system works. How great that you have had it for so long. Love your point that you can keep it if you move house and it 9:40 allows you to have much more space then would be affordable with a house on it. Keep on growing! Love your channel.

What a lovely episode!!! Thank you for this special . And many many many more episodes!

Hi from Scotland hi congratulations on you 200 well done your wee mum looks amazing cheers till next time anne from Scotland

I love the thought of the "legacy plot". Especially in a world where owning property is becoming more and more difficult. At least in this way people can fulfill their need to leave their imprint, a part of themselves, on the land. Even if it's only for a short while. Not the centuries of the "nobility" 😉 That was a beautiful history, well told. Thank you, and your mom, for sharing ❤

Instant favourite Gardening RU-vid Video ever .... well done & thank you for the nostalgia (yours and ours)! x

So, who owns the land? Government or individual? ❤❤ what a great 200th episode. Thanks. Now I can go binge watch.

What a cracking episode! Very interesting to watch the evolution of your allotment. You are very lucky to share the plot, the memories and love of gardening with your Mum. Congratulations on 200 episodes 🥂

What an interesting history and documentation of the changes in gardening methods over the decades! And look at all YOU learned too! LOL Great episode, so thank you! And congratulations on your 200 episodes.

This is a lovely commemorative vlog 200. Cheers! 🥂🍻

Loved seeing the history of the allotment. What really struck me was one of the pictures showing you and your mum working at one of the beds. I actually thought your mum was you until I saw you in the picture. Your profiles are exactly alike.

Jessie this was just lovely. I've watched it all in one sitting with a coffee and a cheeky doughnut! Lovely to see those old pictures and hear your mum's stories. You've really made me think about the allotment being a permanent space as well. I'd love to think that wherever we are in 'x' years time we'll still be able to enjoy going to visit! I look forward to your 300th!

Wow you’re so like your mum. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed this so much it was interesting to see the changes over the years .Loved seeing the building of the fruit cage mThose chickens were so pretty .

Wow Jess that makes you .... yo, that is a surprise as I thought you would be early 20's. I could not place the age I thought you were and the polystyrene trays age (I had those as well) but assumed they were from your mums. Great history lesson, love your videos and you and mums activities, what a wonderful family legacy. Good point about the location of the current shed and walking through the plot on arrival.

what a fun look down memory lane. 35 years on one lot is pretty incredible

Jess That was a beautiful interview with your Mum.

Congratulations on 200 Jessie 🎉🎉🎉 And what a wonderful video to celebrate ❤

Hi Jess Loved the chat with your mum this week, loved see all the old photos and films .

What a great video! 200 brilliant videos! Amazing! ❤I took over my dad’s plot of 20 years recently and I’d love to think maybe my kids might do the same one day!

Concratulations! I really enjoyed the stories and pictures.😊 Love to Mum and you Jessie..🥰🦋🐔🍀💖💐

Hi Jessie and your Mum, Congratulations on your 200th Anniversary 🎉🍾🎊 what wonderful memories of your plot for you both! Lots of detail in those memories for your Mum to look back on and your Dad being on the telly, too! Jessie, you found out about what happened to the cherry tree, too! Thank you so much for sharing. It was so lovely to be part of your memories❤ take care 😊

Well done Jess that was so interesting. Made me think at what we have done in that time. Having lived in london for 39 years we moved to rural Herefordshire and shared a 40 acre farm. Keeping sheep, goats, poultry and cattle and growing in a 2 acre wall garden. A slight move up from our 180 foot suburban garden, although we did have chickens and 2 dairy goats! After 11 yrs we moved next door onto our own 10 acre smallholding where we still are after 23 years.

Congratulations on 200 episodes. What a lovely trip down memory lane. It's amazing the things you learn from your parents when you sit down and chat to them about the past.

Congrats!!!❤ I love you and your mom and the wonderful accomplishment with the allotment! That’s truly dedication and seeing your dad was very special also. ❤🎉❤🎉❤

That was an absolute joy to watch. Thank you for sharing.

Jessie, this video is wonderful. It’s really beautiful to see the fruits of you and your families labour over the years. I look forward to keeping my plot for many many more years and this has inspired me to keep a better record and photos to look back on! Thank you for your wonderful videos and congratulations on your 200th edition! ❤🎉

Lovely to learn the history of your plot, thank you for sharing. Cheers 🥂

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 wishing 200 more

Happy 200th Jessie. Great video, great life! So happy to be a small part of it. 🥰
