Gardeners World Live GARDEN BUILD + June Allotment VEG Plot Tour. Ep 219 || Plot 37 

I'm impressed with your mum driving all the way back home from Birmingham.

Omg! 30:20 It was absolutely lovely to see you, Jessie! And only now did I realise you were filming ahh! It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, and you both did really really well with the competition! It is absolutely lovely to meet you! Thank you so much for the photos and the signature! Sending my best!! -Phoenix :)

I went to this on the Saturday with my sister saw hannah’s garden well done all of you 👏

🎉 Silver is amazing! ❤ I loved the ‘vacation’ footage, but when you said plot tour too I was like “WOW, this is a jam packed video!” THANK YOU!!! 😊

Loved the video! I am glad I am not the only one who straightens their hotel bed duvet in the morning! Everyone I know says I am daft - that it’s Housekeeping’s job.

Cash is King. Use it or lose it.

Totally agree about Frost's garden - pure magic

Loved Hannah's garden. Congrats on the Silver Medal!!!!!

53:54 Are you sure it's not just your potatoes are ready to harvest? We did have the warmest May on record with good overnight temperatures. I was disappointed to see some of my potatoes yellowing and I was expecting lots of small potatoes maybe with some rotting under the soil but actually I had a good harvest. The potatoes were just ready early.

Just cook the whole head of the artichoke, and make a dressing with salt vinegar and olive oil, pick the leaves one by one and plunge it in the sauce, it is delicious! For the heart, take off all the little leaves there and clean it, and you can plunge that one too to the sauce. I have an allotment too, but I grew very different stuff. Mainly squash and marrows, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Love your plot!

Omg...I laughed so hard at video mark 6:49....the workman behind you standing around and then doing the chin-rub-thinking thing just like you described the night before! 😂 Priceless cue!

You came my hometown girl!!😊 I wish I knew sooner thou I'd have came and seen you 😢😢you and Ur mum are amazing I love your videos I would have fed you both breakfast 🫶

I always use loo roll tubes for my beans. Plant the whole thing, so no root disturbance. So long as the whole cardboard tube is buried so the rim doesn't dry out. It's always worked brilliant for me. 👍

The weather is pants and the slugs and wood lice are just having their best summer !! Plot looks great and your Mum is a star so lovely take care now

A very enjoyable episode. Thank you Jessie, Mum, Hannah and anyone else who appeared. 😊

Cut the artichoke with about an inch of stem. Wash well and steam for about 45 min in a couple of inches of salted water. When soft you csn drizzle with olive oil and then eat. Or pull leaves and dip into melted butter. I don't do any prep unless stuffing them. We scrape out teeth on the leaves and then we tear apart and eat the heart. They are so tummy!!! I have 4 plants in zone 7b and they are 2 years old and grown from seed. I get a bunch or artichokes and love them! Good luck and I hope you get many many more!

I worked as supervisor once. The head of the site asked my boss, "how is it jotham shows up with three workers and gets more done in a day than that other company, with ten workers, gets done in a week?" Some people have the attitude that they must work slow.

Mint cant grow in my climate either, im in south florida. For artichoke - congrats!!!! We just cut the top pointy part a bit (steam/boil it for a while (maybe 30 min ) depending on the size, then just pick off the leaves one by one to “scrape” off the “meat” with your teeth. Great with whatever dip you like, but I like it just plain with a bit of salt and melted butter… 😂 . I never knew how difficult it is to describe eating an artichoke 😅

Great video Jessie, Hi to your mum too, a lot of good editing, enjoyed the gardening live build. nice to see Hannah, I never thought the contractors would be rude when they getting paid, really enjoyed a look at the other stands and Adams garden was great. well done Hannah and the team for the silver,@51.48 loved the lychnis I have lots on plot not flowering yet, the colour is amazing, take care both of you,Steve

Thanks for sharing your vlog! I can only wish mine were as good 😂 Have fun using the plot

And…of course…we recognise where you were staying because of the furniture and colour of decor😀😀😀yummy breakfasts…Jinxy

Field beans…a revelation this year….no blackfly…have picked the pods and everything else is composted. The finger sized beans I cook whole, if bigger than a finger I pod them…and then cook with garlic, onion lots of spices and tinned toms….yummy on toast😀😀😀Jinxy

What a great vlog! Congrats to team Hannah and co for a fabulous garden and tremendous result - it was stunning.👍 Hats off to team plot 37 too for superb filming, editing and content. Can't wait for the next action-packed vlog. 🌿🌹🍒

Hello jessie and hannah love this video and well done on winning your prize hannah and Jessie. Tony will be very proud Jessie.

So cute 😅

Artichokes…pick them any size around satsuma to orange size. Small ones cook and eat almost whole….large ones…eat the leaves first and then the best bit…the heart…NOT the choke! Yummy with a French dressing or mayo😀😀😀 Jinxy

You can tell a Geordie lass with how she starts downing her pint 😂. Well done followed Hannah for a while on Instagram well deserved

Thanks!

The stand inside the marquee - Robinsons and sons is my local nursery and I absolutely love going there. They are known as Mammoth Onion locally and they are an absolute joy to visit. It's a proper old fashioned family run nursery.

I have to agree with you about the stalls at gardeners world, very poor this year. The gardens and flower marquee were amazing, loved Adam’s garden too!

Rubs chin . Congratulations Hannah and your trusty assistant Jessie on winning silver. I actually saw the garden on a couple of other videos. Rubs chin again.

I've had the same thing happen with my potatoes. I have Rocket, Charlotte, Vivaldi and Pink Fir Apple in containers/bags, but it's only my single bag of Maris Piper which has been completely stripped by slugs. So won't be growing that again!

Slugs! Wind ++++++ Cloud! Cold! WHAT., I think we are all doing well considering. Cheers Jess, and a great insight into GWL!

Loved this video. Good job on the wonderful work. Hannah is fortunate to have you as a friend. Silver well done. Looked lovely too.

If you want to eat the artisjok you have to harvest before the head opens to much. Boil it and make a lovely vinegraitte and pluck the leaves and dip. So lovely!! look at ‘Monty Don’s Fork to Fork’ and you will love it! And you can also let them flower this year. The flowerheads are stunning! ❤️

A job extremely well done, ladies. The garden is stunningly perfect in every way. Many congrats, Hannah!

Hanna s garden was brilliant well done everyone involved 😊

A few of my potato plants look like yours Jess, it's not blight. With mine they had just rotted with the wet, the rest aren't romping away as u expect this time of year. This season is Really challenging ! 😡

When I saw your kitchen garden, oh my! I had seen Hannah’s garden featured on the Middle Sized Garden channel a few days ago! I loved it!

😂thought Adam Frost nicked Hannah’s ideas.Hope you & Hannah weren’t too disappointed with silver coz it looked awesome

Congrats on the artichokes! Mine get mullered by blackfly every year, so keep checking and deal with any you find. Lovely, delicious things.

Wow, what a great videos, loved it! If I was there I would have got you autograph ! Love your mom got to see it.

Your plot is looking so lush! Really enjoyed your trip to Birmingham too. Thank you!!

You worked so hard to get Hannah's garden looking so fantastic but I was very surprised that Hannah didn't thank you as well as the other people she thanked on her instagram 😮😣

what a video absoultely jam packed loved it jess!! oh and id defo get your autograph chick you are thee most inspirational gardener i know

Hi Jessie and your Mum, thats awful the workman being ride! You have both worked so hard and it looks lovely! Wow! Hannah getting silver award! It was lovely rgat tour,Mum was,able tp join you to have a good look around too ❤ wow! How wonderful, signing an autograph! Well done! Lovely video. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

It was wonderful to meet you all! You could tell what amount of effort had gone into the gardens. One thing I was wondering is what will Hannah do with the garden when she dismantles it. Always think of these things later. It was my 1st visit to gardeners world love and wasn't completely what if expected neither but still enjoyed myself. X

Don’t think blight. Dig the worst one up and inspect the roots. Look for small white, or yellow, round cysts on the roots. They are about 1mm diameter. If you can see any, your are suffering from potato cyst eelworm. There is no treatment, try not to grow on the same plot for seven years. Great show Jessie.

Hey Jessie, Very nice to see Hannah. The two of you did a good and proper job. Everything in its place and the spread of the colors. I can only imagine all the planning and organizing involved with this event. Really nice garden tour today. OK take care bye for now, Steven

Thanks for the video . This weather is killing me nothing g is growing as it should be except potatoes!

Well done 🎉it’s hard work building a show garden. We built one for the Harrogate Flower Show at the end of April - it was windy wet freezing cold 🥶and sleeting!!! The poor plants had to be wrapped up in layers of fleece every night 😂 it’s good fun though

Hello! I'm not sure about your wacky sunrise & sunset times, but the hours around them are uncannily still. Obviously so close to summer solstice (in 4 days), your times may be when a person belongs in bed asleep! But if you are game, try twilight or dawn to put up the cover to your poly house.

Think the leaf colour is the fluctuating weather Jess. Cold then warm, then cold again has played havoc with my tomatoes and potato plants. I've also got squash out and they were all yellow, but today they are looking greener. Warm weather is coming. Fab vlog ❤

Aww I picked up one of those olive herb plants from a local garden centre (Megaplants, Doddington). I'm planning to gift it to my dad's partner, who loves olives.

As usual a very well constructed and edited video. Thanks for sharing the build, contractors can be frustrating at times but we do need them. Well done .

Well done Jess and obviously Hannah on her Silver medal. I usually go GWL every yr on the late day for the big sell off. The thing is Jess GWL is not RHS so is smaller and meant for the people and community and is not a big commercial show like Chelsea and Hampton court etc. really well done for getting up early though. What an experience!

Looks like you and Hannah had a great time despite the weather and rude men! You might want to try putting a plastic bottle, with the lid off over the mint to see if it keeps the buggers off. Some of our potatoes have gone yellow too. Even parts of one container is yellow one side and ok on the other. Was watching Potty Mouth last night and you talking about sprouts. I have popped you an email as i have 2 spare sprout plants if you are interested? Take care!

Everything looks great! So enjoyed Hanna and GWL garden well deserved medal! Here in Oregon USA having same issues with weather and do many things did not start or if they did they are sooooo slooow to grow this year😢 we are so far away but so similar in weather lol.

Artichokes ... pick them young before the hairy bits form inside. Boil for 15-30 minutes depending on size ... cool ... then pull off all the outer "leaves" and trim all the harder bits off round the choke (the middle of the flower) ... then cut in half and dress with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, a little chopped garlic and oregano. Amazing.

Hi jessie great video your green apple tree very impressive 🍏 your allotment is looking good too ❤

Slugs, Roly polys and weather have been my problems this year . Such a great vlog btw filled with a variety of topics ❤ your gardens look lovely 😍 🍻 ❤

Love the weather update style of show garden tour 💛💛

Jess If it looks like blight get rid no ifs or buts just get rid.

Have a dig down or pull a suspect potato haulm. I’ve had blackleg for the first time this year on my charlottes. The prolonged wet was apparently ideal and if your seed was infected ( which is unfortunately too common ), there’s a chance. Best of luck.

Fantastisch Good work Jessie live moostiun Tour thans te video good week grootjes ✔️🤗🍹⛅🌺🏵️🌱

loved this video nice to see birmingham again i was involved with the construction of exhibit there and 5 in cardiff rhs show nice tour too

Just to console you and other gardeners, on the other side of the world, Pacific Ocean coast, plants are stunted, slow, and we have very cool temperatures this week after 3 weeks of rain, drizzle and cloud. My peppers are smaller than yours. 😣

Brilliant video Jessie, thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

Oh Jess! Try rooting a cutting from your grapevine when you prune it back to the grape clusters. To grow up and over the chicken run. Chickens love the grapes especially when they drop to the ground as raisins late autumn/winter.

Excellent bit of work on Hannah’s and well deserved silver 🎉 and extra kudos for working in the wind. So glad the foxes have moved along cooperatively. And how very sweet and flattering to be asked to sign something 🥂🥂

Jess i think after this week its going to start getting very hot and no rain, I think up here we have only seen the sun for about a week in one year and one month.

I have to know - what’s wrong with asparagus peas? I have some seeds and want to grow them but I’m scared now?! 😟 😂 🙏

This was very interesting. I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere near where I live in western Canada. What happens to all the plant after the show?

loved that bistro set! Did Hannah paint it?! Would love to have one....

Did u see the use of red pepper flakes around plants for slugs?

Jess mint likes to be Wet most of the time try a pot to get it really growing also around your water barrel where it stays damp. Where do yoj get seed for the Olive plant and mushroom plant?

Great video really enjoyed it

Congratulations 🎊 on your artichoke 😅 still no sign on mine .

Well done on the GW show! Hard work but worth it. Potatoes... not blight I'm sure. Are the yellowing ones earlies? Maybe just maturing and ready to lift? The flopped over one might have blackleg though.

That compost looked hot. Was it still cooking? Beautiful work. The artichoke looks like it should be harvested. When the individual leaves start to separate, they are ready. Enjoyed the vid, as always.

Is Hannah going to come back on u tube. You should have brought a few sandwiches bags and put some food from breakfast into them for lunch 😊

Fantastisch Good video jessie Tour live the moostuin thans te video Top Good week 👍🥒☘️🫛🍹🎈💕🌼🌸🌱🌿🧅

Great Jobbbbb it looks amazing

Good Evening , My Jessie Babe. I Love You.

Have you considered a couple of Indian runner du ducks to help you keeping the slugs under control?

With what you said maybe it could be nitrogen 😊

Love the video. Is Hannah your sister Jessie

Hey Jessie & @Gingergrows1 I was there Saturday with Hubby (travelled from Norwich)…such a shame about the weather but as I was leaving I said oh I’ve not been to see Hannah’s garden despite viewing them all so made a dash. Felt like a fan girl 😂 as Hannah was there. Sorry didn’t say hi but she was busy talking and like a real fool went “oh there she is” to my hubby ….. congratulations all on the award. It was our 2nd visit so yes a little disappointed with the lack of veg growing. Frosties garden was immense and I always love the floral marquee. It’s great now it’s joined with the food show, can end up a bit tipsy there. I like the smaller size gardens as more realistic for us home growers

PS… Irrigation system…Not Irritation System!!!…that was predictive spelling mistake… not helpful… but amusing 😆😆…Sue (Bham)

My gosh mum drove up and straight back down to home. When I can home for a visit my sister lives in Southampton area her daughter Birmingham whose baby was being Christened. So decided. To take me up before going to Devon. That massive freeway with huge trucks I had my eyes closed the whole way. Coming from Hobart I was never so scared. So to hear mum did that solo well done mum. Well done Hannah on Silver

Amazing work on the garden! A well deserved silver 😊

why did you stop harvesting the asparagus? should I do it? 🤗 with love from Iceland ?

Any luck with Jinxy beans this year?

What did you use again near fox hole??

is it st. george runner bean

Your kitty has long ears.

Where was that plant warehouse place? I thought you said Roots in Southampton but I coudln't find anything. Is it a private center?

Artichokes..pick the center one when the size of a tennis ball or a bit bigger ...boil the whole thing with some slices of lemon about 20 mins I think ?make nice thick vinagrette take out turn upside down let cool and then slowly peel the leaves off dip them in vinagrette drag the bottom of the leaves through your teeth ,take your time chat and drink wine when the inside leaves get a bit papery pull them all out and discard as well as the choke(flower)trim the base so it looks smart dip it in the sauce again and then gobble it all up ....if you have more than one and great company you could be there all night chatting and eating ....or just cut it all off till only the bottom bit is ready to eat boil or eat raw ...er from here your spuds look like a touch of black leg? great vlog again Jess 59:14 mins

How is your new chook getting on ?

Do you think gardening from sunup till bedtime? Video? Can I film this? What looks good - CUT THAT BIT! What makes good content for us? The serious question is what % of what you film do we see? ? 50%?
