Reroofing the Henhouse. And sowing more Broadbeans. Prepping for Winter… Ep188 || Plot 37 

Fantastisch Good work Jessie you the best thans te video Top 👍✔️🤗☕🌞🍂🔥🧤🌱

Shame we can’t hear you gardening to Rammstein, that would be awesome! 🤘🤘 Also Love the Shepard’s bush empire great, venue

Ty for concert tour...I do not dwell in crowds anymore.

Glorious day and girgeous panning. Seems to have been grey for weeks here in Wales.

The girls will be a lot warmer with the woodchips down. We used to heap up wood shavings in winter and you could feel the temperature change between outside and inside the chicken run.

Jess,I can’t remember if you ever showed us how you eat the Pattypans. I don’t think you have. Can you tell us in your next Q&A? Thank you

You still have bloom! 🎉

I wouldn’t rip the roof off, I’d go over it!! Xx

Rather than the hassle of replacing the tarpaulin over your chickens, you could paint on some Acrylic Roof Seal which can be painted on in wet conditions and seals immediately. Flexacryl is the brand I used to sell up here in the West Midlands.

Jealous of Laibach, their only uk date too. A few einsturzende neubauten t shirts on show. Liking the hen house spruce up too.

I can’t help but laugh at your reaction to the cold. Here in central New York State we don’t even think of it as cold until we’re below 25F. It has been an exceptionally warm winter here, and now in March we have spring an entire month early.

Well not only can i now come here for gardening tips and cooking/recipe tips apparently music is also a thing. Going to have to check out Liebach when you used them in the same sentence as Rammstien as they could be my sort of thing possibly. Love the videos - funny informative and relaxing all bundled up into one little package with a cute little sprinkling of Lil on top :)

So lovely seeing the allotment flowers. We need a bit of colour still this time of year! We still have lobelias, marigolds and nasturtiums still going. I guess the oranges reds and browns of the latter two are more fitting colours for this time of year. You should knit the chickens some little chicken tank top vests for the winter! You could also knit them matching hats so they look like Compo! I am sure they will appreciate the new tarp and wood chips. I didn't realise it was an open alley way between your plot and the school. It's probably where the foxes and other animals are getting in the plot. Made me laugh when Lillie went rushing through the gate, when there was a hole in the fence! lol Our neighbours garden is higher than ours so we often have the animals that are attracted by the smell of their outdoor small pets, jump into ours, which is a lot lower and panic, when we hear them and try to scuttle out through the door hole at the back of the garden, over a mini shed and out. Finally managed to pull out the beetroot, radishes and turnips and reset the bed for the garlic. As you guessed it i have far too much garlic left! lol The rest are back in the fridge until i can think of what to do with them. I did give some cloves and a chilli to out friend who took our kid to Brooklands museum on Sunday, whilst we worked in the garden. Apparently it was really empty but they got to go in a F1 car and did the concorde tour as well as other vehicles. Yes i have been out for the past month or so with the rona. It's going rife around the schools atm according to the school office. I had to go on antibiotics so i haven't been much fun lately so it was nice of my friend to do that and get them out of the house. So disappointed with my late potatoes! I have 3 large fabric pots, each with 2 chitted potatoes and only one plant survived from the rainy horrible weather! So not quite the festive season haul i was hoping for but should have some for christmas day and maybe leftovers for boxing day if they are still ok! We also harvested some sprouts that have come early, so i roasted those with the turnips, beets, a potato, carrot, rosemary and garlic all from the garden. I also boiled up some beetroot leaves and baby turnip leaves/ stalks. Tesco had an offer on salmon tails, so we had that with some more garlic and carrot leaves as a garnish. I find the leaves taste like celery/parsley. I pickled the rest of the beets and white radishes with some shop bought onion and left over veg for Christmas. I am hoping to bring in the herb window box into our utility area that connects the house to the garden so i can transplant some parsley, dill, coriander etc. It gets quite a bit of sun there. It's really nice to see some of my old local haunts. Not sure if it's still there but on the Twickenham high st junction is/was a snooker place called Colours and i met Jimmy White and John Virgo in there back in the day abt 20 yrs ago i think. Pubs on the Thames either in Richmond or Kingston are really nice if you can get a seat. White hart lane was never the best. The Star and Garter in Putney never really had proper outside seats other than the park benches! lol I do miss that area though as there aren't that many pubs and stuff open here but i don't miss hubbys basement flat and patio garden! I was born and bred there and lived in several places in the area but i think that was the worst one. Edwardian houses look nice from the front but they have so many problems with damp and draughts. I saw your update on the house reno and the bathroom is getting there. You live with your mum right? Did you say it had red paint underneath? You probably already know to wear a mask when sanding it as it probably has lead in the paint. We fully renovated our house and it was a nightmare with several layers of wallpaper and even wallpaper on the ceiling! I also think who ever invented artex should have a word. Do you not get weirded out walking through the graveyard at night/ in the dark? I remember always being scared of walking back to my friends house who lived at the back of the big Asda and having to take the shortcut through the cemetery! Always creeped me out. You know they built a lot of that Asda on some of the old cemetery?! They also shot a lot of "The Bill" around there. The TV series not the actual bill! lol Anyway, hope you are feeling better soon and staying warm!

The theater looked beautiful. Thanks for taking us along.

Great job on the new coop roofing!

Even if they run amok and peck at plants, please let the girlies have an occasional adventure out in the grass and around some of the plot. They are such nice little chickens and it would make them so happy.

Happy chicks with there little chickpalace

Oh those nerines ❤ . Second year for me they just produce greens and no flower 😢. Jess, your video´s are my happy place thank you so much. I also love the fact that you are just a normal girl . The house must give you some head troubles with the draft, the kitchen and the bathroom. I´m sorry for that but it also something i can relate to; not a rich kid ( or for me, not a rich 47 year old mom 😂) Thanks hun big hug, you are awesome Love from Belgium

Hello Jessie , we do love your channel watch every week , we are in our 70s but still learning . I will try to give you some tips that i have learned over the years that i think would enhance the survival of of your seedling's . Please let me know if you would like some info

Does anyone else get goosebumps whe n that beautiful music plays at the begining nf n Jessies vlogs?? You always know you are in for a treat xx

a most enjoyable video well done jessie

Always the highlight of Monday. ❤😊

Your videos are never too long! Always a joy to watch. Happy chickens with new digs and treat for Lill

Could you use the clear plastic like on your polly tunnel over your chicken coop? We do the same thing to areas of our chicken run and I use clear contractor plastic. Not sure if you all have something like that over in the UK. Then, because it doesn't have reinforced holes like a tarp, I use tape over the edge of the plastic and poke a hole in that so it doesn't rip or staple it down to the wood. That way my gals get the benefit of the sun while having protection from the uglier elements. Oh the joy our sweet chickadees bring us.

Jess if i had your PO box i could send you some of my Broad beans i saved this year, I have about 30 growing at mo but going put more in just in case.

❤Oh those dark green Dreamies with catnip in them... 🙈 My dad's cat almost bites my hand of 😂 he just loves them!

Lil was so excited, she just knew what you had ☺️

glad your "unwell" was brief. congrats on girlie's roof. what a pretty pan around of allotment!! : D

So Jess, what did happen to those floppy leeks??? Still lots of eatables on your plot fantastic. I notice you keep the bubble wrap sheeting on in your greenhouse all year, doesn't it cause mildew? WCL

Hi Jessie and your Mum, great job on replacing the tarpaulins on the chicken House 👍 lovely video update. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Good job on the henhouse Jessie and Mum! I agree, it turned a lot colder last week. I was up picking chard, cavolo nero and leeks. My hands were frozen. Your allotment always looks so tidy, puts mine to shame. Cheers Jessie!!

Beautiful life in the garden. We’ve already had a round of snow, but I’m for a lot of snow this year if we can get it, so I’m not complaining. I live vicariously in the winter. Thank you.🇨🇦❤️🍁👍

One of the highlights in my RU-vid list to watch! Thank you!!! Inspiring as always ❤

I would plant them all anyway because “if you don’t sow they won’t grow”. Amazing you have so many flowers still ❤. As I got up this morning it was minus 4c but the sun came out to a glorious 8c daytime 🥶🥶🥶. Oh well better than rain 🌧️. Have a super week say hello to Johanna, Ali 🍁🥶🇨🇦

Great tip on the bean sowing 😊

I loved every minute of this video. Thank you💥

Jessie...living in heart,my lovely bird shamim zahuri from bangladesh👏🤝🎎🤱🌟

Great update Jessie. Good job with the beans 🎉 Have a great week Rach 👩🏼‍🌾💚

Well soldiered on this week Jessie. You did get lots done! Loved the pan around the sunny allotment - you have an artists eye for exquisite detail. Love the girlies on fast forward and how Lil accelerates when she sees you. Excellent video as always.

It was nice to see you drive thru twickenham where div and izzie lived (my son) as I love it there they have now moved to Sudbury on Thames.

The temperature has definately dropped now. First frost here in the South. Glad you are feeling better

Leek moth probably, I’ve had this before, they invade the leek

I enjoyed watching every minute of this video 💕

infinity Lil at the end! I feel that one minine it was May, now it's half way through November... forget loosing a week, who stole the summer? :)

tiz getting cold i need to get some new wooly hats i think its time

We can't always accomplish great things Jess,great video,as always and the girls will be sooo happy 😊

I love the little side trips around London. I'm trying out a bean variety called Scabiola Verde this winter, its supposed to able to tolerate temperatures down to minus eight . Time will tell if it's true.

New tarp looks good. You could get a clear cover for the top for when we get the bird flu order to cover all enclosure as happens every year.

I bought one of those gray caps last year. This will be my first year wearing it. We like sun so I imagine the chickens do. It may make a healthier chicken.

Saturday looked so lovely and you captured some really great footage. The girlies will appreciate the new roof and morning sunshine. I’ve had 3 working days off (total 5 with the weekend) and didn’t accomplish too much although I did finally process about 2 pounds of garlic and got it into the freezer. 🥂

Ha Jesse put clear plastic so they can get the sun and not get wet, or next time, you can put half and half plastic

We've been having fires since September but have only just turned on central heating 😊

Always brilliant to watch. I can spend a whole day just mixing and messing about with compost bins. Wandering the streets with a big rake and a big plastic bag collecting leaves for leaf mold. Incidentally guys... am I the only bloke who is jealous of that cat!😂😂😂

What ever happened with your leeks? Did it get edited out, or have you forgotten them?

funny hear in the downunder colony .. what's left of my broad beans are drying for next year's seed ? pumpkin is up and running / tomatoes hip height etc etc my time is spent tying staking training and watering ...... soon the sweets

Jess, The game changer for early Chile production is over wintering! I tried it last year. We were getting Cubanelles, salad peppers and jalapeños in May! This year I tried tobasco and habanadas. I finally got some to set on in September. They were not going to ripen before a hard freeze. We repotted them and pulled them inside. They are finally turning color! The practice of over wintering will help with the grow light seedling overcrowding in Spring! I am looking forward to next year already.

Lil is so special And your chucks. I had both years ago. Such characters. Lil with her pantaloons reminds me of cat years ago sooo affectionate so beautiful too. You’re so lucky. Btw fresh eggs are a joy. I had rescue chickens they gave eggs for about 5 years. Regular double yokes. Probably cos they were hybrids. I cooked pasta laced with olive oil especially during winter months. Obviously protected the cage they were in.

Those broad beans you sowed Jessie ,when will you put them out into a bed ??

What was up with your leeks ???

Happy chickens! In winter, do you go to your plot every day to feed and water the girls or do you have another set up, like a 3 day auto feeder? Love dinner and dancing with Lil !

Couldnt you have put the new cover on top of the old one.? Less bother?

What are you brushing off in the chicken coop?

How far is the walk from your car to your plot Jessie? I kind of feel thankful that we are able to drive in to our allotment and park about 2 metres away from the plot. Although our plot is about an 8th the size of yours so you win on that one.

For future reference I can recommend bhgs based in evesham. They largely supply the growers in the Vale of evesham but do mail order. They don't have loads of varieties but are really great value for beans, peas, onions, garlic and flower bulbs. At the end of last year I paid 5.79 for 1kg of aquadulce. seeds 4.50 for a 1kg of pea seeds. They are relatively local to me so I take a special trip each season. The ones I bought last year have all germinated well again this autumn.

Hi Jessie. Great video as always. I googled nipper leeks as I like how you described them in previous episodes but Google gave me all different kinds of leeks - Porbella, Atal, Bulgaarze Reuzen. Is nipper leeks just a general term for small leeks? Would any of those mentioned do? Thanks in advance.

We thinking of getting chickens in our back garden. How many eggs do you get from 4 weekly?

Sneaky squirrel scampering in background around 7.25 min mark.

Has your chicken coop got an automatic door or do you have to do it manually ?

What variety is your fig tree Jess?

Hi, @20.24.. whats the name of the pink flower? And what happened to the floppy leek?

Could you please tell me what planting zone you are in? Alabama,USA

Why u sowing broad beans now? Will they be a lot earlier ready to it than February sown? Thanks

Nice job that henhouse ... wat was wrong with the leeks ?

Relating a provable fact is not wingeing. Besides, you should have gotten those seeds for free.
