The Garden Media show, more Polytunnel action + a Discovery in the Pond! Ep203 || Plot 37 

Chaps, guys, folks, dudes. Who cares we're all part of something bigger.

One of the joys of watching your videos Jessie, is that you don’t sell us stuff. Thank you so much for that. 😊🌻

I really enjoy your videos you talk to us as if you’re sitting having a cuppa and chat about your day. Rats are a pest I feel your pain. I like how you include your mum in your decision you both work so hard.

You need a mic on your beautiful Momma. I love watching you too and your plot looks amazing

"Margo, she's a little bit . . . vacant." LOL! You Brits do have a way with words! Just the phrasing I need to get a grin here in Wisconsin 😂

I absolute love love British people!! It makes my heart happy to see how much fun you guys had together!! Great video sweet Jessie blessings to you and your mom from Kentucky 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I enjoy your videos so much when you share your trips!! 🤗🦋❤️

If this was a music channel, we'd be Jessie and the Chappettes... I'm so sorry. I'll get my coat and show myself out...

I love how Lil the cat tries to help your mum herd the chickens😆😆 that’s so sweet

I have peas and all different onion seedlings celery through aswell and cayenne pepper seedlings but that it. I did have sweet peppers and aubergines but my little great grandson 18 months old got hold of those and they are now gonners☹️so I not too sure if I will sow again as may be too late now for those. I will decide soon. You are doing really well so far Jessie and loved your press day and all the others looked like great fun.👍see you next week🙋🏻‍♀️

🐔💐thank you. I very much enjoy your films !

Spring is the best season for me. Full of new life & the promise of things to come in summer

Having seen a seagull hoiking out frog after frog after frog from my Mum's pond, I wonder if the netting was protecting the toads. Perhaps toads aren't as tasty 🤞. No frogspawn in my Anglesey pond 3 days ago. Lots of duck weed to be scooped. I have a berberis to windward of mine. The petals make it go orange! I'd need a very fine net for that😉. Great video, thanks chaps.

What a blast meeting up with all those gardening guys! I love how Alex keeps his hat on so we recognize him...😂😂 and I'm loving his new content too.

You always give me hope my daughter may someday realize gardening with Mama could be fun 💚

I really like the way your treat your chickens 🐔 🐓🐔🐓 and Lil 🐈💛

Hi Jessie & your Mum, wow! Lil has some cool winter coat there. NIce to see familiar faces in the London trip, you all enjoyed yourselves too. The chickens have escaped, they are funny, bless them, they want to join in. Chaps does mean all of us. It's just a terminology you use for us ❤ love your videos. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

Press day fun! 🎉 Lily herding chickens was too funny. The girlies will get there eventually with tin I’m sure. Even dear Val 😂

Hi Jessie🤗 Great video … thank you The show looked a great day out with lots of interesting things and people, lots of knowledge and possibilities. The 🐸 toads❤️ and plenty babies.. so lovely. The chickens feet are so funny… little cuties… hopefully they will learn how to cooperate and keep themselves safe when needs be ( do what they are told 😆) White sprouting broccoli is looking awesome. Your doing great with polly tunnel… my only worry is the soil your taking out and putting back….. if the rats have been all over and in it they can cause so many harmful diseases. Their poop etc mixed with the soil. I can’t remember all the names of diseases but I’m sure you do your own research 👍🏻 your way more experienced than me so I’m sure you have thought of these things, is there a way to make it disease free or is it perfectly safe? Hello to mum…. take care 🌱🌺🐝🐸🌼

Omg speaking of chaps, Survivor host used to say “come in in guys” every show until someone took offence to it 😅 there’s enough crap going on in the world to stop worrying about things like “guys, chaps, peeps etc” get over it chaps 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey Jessie, What a fun video again today. I do love the Press Day videos. I watched the one from last year today also. I like seeing you show up with the folks I already follow makes me think I must be following the right folks. The poly tunnel rebuild looks to be a bit of a bugger esp the tree roots in the tomato area. Maybe the tomatoes need to take self defense classes. I would love to see the chickens learn to get out and go back maybe it will come this summer. I am so excited today February 28th is my OKRA starting Day it is my favorite day of the garden. I started about 80 seeds hoping for at least 60-70 to make it to fruition. I will stick them in wherever this is some room after their patch is full. Take care bye for now, Steven

Our local staple diet.... Greggs...Great to see it.. on the channel..

With your chickens do you do a call before they get a treat? That way they get trained to a call. We just do the "chick, chick, chick" at a high pitch and they come running. That way if you see a fox you can just do the call and they will come running and you don't have to waste time and run and grab a tin. Also I love banties but they are STUBBORN!

It's always great to have a pond update!

Now that it’s March in Massachusetts, I’m getting back on board with both my own gardening tasks and also gardening content. I think I watched November to now in a week. Winters in Boston are brutal enough to get pretty disheartening, but I got my first community garden space last autumn. There’s major clearing and weeding left to do, but I’m so excited about getting stuck in. Rapini/cimi di rapa is my all time favorite vegetable, and until watching your vlog I never really considered it as something I could try growing on my own. I’ll also take great inspiration from your diy plant protection, as I already know I’m trying to garden in rat heaven…

Hiya Jess and Muma, truly enjoyed watching. Take care from a chilly southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

You and your mom are always so busy improving and maintaining your plot or going on adventures. I love your entertaining videos! So happy about your little toad family! They will soon rid you of your slugs. You may want to add a couple ceramic mushrooms around your pond for them to sit on. Toadstools, you know.😄

Hi jessie love to watch yr videos as cant get in my garden yet we have had so much rain my garden is clay soil so its like a bog cant wait to get started out there thanks for all the inspiration

I’ve ordered some plug plants from Marshall’s… excellent quality

I'm struggling with coriander as well, although I've always been told it's super easy to grow 🤔

Hi Jessie, you are not alone in calling everyone chaps to me. Everyone is my Mate 😂 some people just don't get it. It's a great blog again. I love the girlie's and lil, 😊

Toads YAY what a thrill ❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 A pleasure to watch as always xx

Hi Jess, loved your Vlog. I'm pretty excited too !!!!! Impressed with the Toads spawning. I have a small pond full of newts, I just love the little fella's. Here's to a good growing season, Cheers 🥂

pure joy your videos jessie

I wonder if you can speak to the caretaker at the school to find out what tree it is? Maybe get on his friendly side to see if they have any new garden plans for the borders. You would probably need to bury some sort of vertical metal sheeting to try at block the roots from the border of the plot, not just in the polytunnel. That media event looks good and i bet it was great to catch up with the guys. We used to have a toad that would hide in our veg bed or sandpit and lay its eggs in an old steel jug! Not seen it since the heatwave but could do with one now with the return of the slugs and snails!

It's so nice to see that you have spring flowers popping up as I look out my window at a fresh 25 cm of snow! LOL I hope those little toads will take care of some of your slugs. I would still be tempted to put a permanent solid bottom in your polytunnel raised beds and then even though plants wouldn't have access to soil below the bin, they wouldn't be completing with the tree roots. I struggle with that in my garden as well and wish I'd spent the time and $$ to add solid bottoms. And congratulations on creating a livable revenue stream from your 200+ videos!

To get our chickens in during the light we would walk behind them with arms our directing them from behind. It worked really well. I think the idea is to look like a massive bird.

That kohle rabi looks gorgeous.

Well the heat pads are a revelation, the first sowing of the year have all been potted on, peas, onions ,leeks and lettuce, and the second sowing, 2 types of beetroot, dwarf peas, cucumbers and different leeks are coming up nicely. The second sowing seeds are all Real Seed Company seeds and are looking good so far. I found a heated propagator in a house clearance that works, it's new, so that will be brought into use at the weekend.with another sowing.Also planted some 1st early's into tubs in the greenhouse and the carrots in a tub are coming up. Soooo exciting .

That was amazing video clip you put together there off your lotmen there iit was great to watch it there an keep up the amazing video clip there an I can't find your friends RU-vid channel there 👍👍👍

This reminds me I need to hurry up and clean the leaves out of my pond before the toad spores show up. I have 1000s of tadpoles from spring to midsummer that prevent me from doing anything to the pond until they leave.

Looked fun at the garden media, toad spawn and chicken adventures ❤️ them roots omg, fab vlog jessie 🥰

🐝Thanks for the great video 🌻 lot to learn for the little chickens 🤣 doombo chicken 🤣

I'm growing Scotch Bonnets for the first time this season. We love jerk sauce and Jamaican cuisine.

As I said before 😂 I’d move the entire poly since your dismantling everything anyway. It would be much better directly across the plot from where it is now. Lovely video, Ali 🥶🥶🇨🇦

Hi had hip replacement Tuesday morning up watching you video in the evening home on Wednesday 😊😊😊😊

Lovely springtime like video today Jess. Love the mix up of the show and allotment. Bet you’ll be mixing all the good stuff in with compost taken from the polytunnel. Will you be layering the bottom of the Trenches with well rotted manure to help retain the moisture? Oh I Was thinking on the side where the tree is could you deeply dig in some metal sheets to prevent the roots from running directly into your tunnel. Or go around the edges of your plot on the schooltree side and drive a long spade into ground in a line to cut off the roots each early spring season maybe. Just an idea ❤

Love your videos as always! Well done on getting cracking on the poly tunnel. I was wondering where you got the sticks you use to hang your netting over the pond then over the white sprouting broccoli at the end. They look a fab quick and dirty way of covering crops while I make some netted boxes once the weather improves. 😊

That was a great event Jessie. You are spoilt there.

I loved the garden show and seeing your friends.

Hey no worries about using chaps! I use guys for everyone, lol!

Yay…have greatly appreciated Alex back on utube😀😀😀Jinxy

Hi Jessie. I really enjoyed this vlog. Could have watched more of your social event with the fellow RU-vid team. Nice to see Hannah. Love to see your Mum on the allotment. I don't think I've ever heard what her actual name is, except Mum x 😂 ❤

plots looking superb love the pond area

Great video jessie am looking forward to next week's tour ❤

Ooo Lilia I grew last year for the first time and I had to order more for this year, my fave too :D

Jessie your doing a good job with polytunnel taking your time and getting it right before covering I'm still laughing from Monday night Tony was shell shocked looked punch drunk when you put him in his place about your polytunnel work lol

Twisted my back digging from one side . Facet joint problem lost the power in one leg for a week. Slowly getting better.

Chaps is unisex . Love being called Chaps!

Oooohhhh Jessie, that tokyo cross turnip is amazing. I saw it on Charles Dowding and tried it, it's fabulous.

So envious of your toad spawn. We've never had frog spawn in our pond of four years, but we did see newts last year. Lovely video as always Jessie, and don't talk to me about rats. Little buggers have eaten most of my tulips I put in!! and they were covered with netting which they bit through. Next year it will be fine chicken wire.

Love your videos as always ❤️ and I really like that you don’t sell stuff, just showing your joy and happiness of gardening ❤

Love it ❤

Cheers, Jessie 😊

good works Nice

Great videos every one ya done when u woz at that garden media event looking at did they have a stall for kings seeds I know there on net I ordered a catalogue from them there's everything in it seed wise

Would the tree your having probs with be a willow,they sure suck up alot of water.

I see the Toad's leg!

We should names the toads ( not the offspring obviously, that would be to much). Seems you had a blast with all the other famous vloggers,lovely and what a spectaculair kohlrabi,you need sunglases for those. Looking forward to the whole march sowing business..MARCH....how the hell we got there so fast...I need to do shit ! I feel like i´m so behind since it seems it only rained the past few months on the days that i´m not working. Lots of love from Belgium

Looks like JB had too much dizzy water 😂

Try meal worms grapes or cooked rice to attract your chucks. Works with ours

😂😂 poor Val, bless x

Hi Jessie. Really enjoyed your video. Can I ask a question. What do you do with the old compost you dug out of your poly tunnel, especially as you had rats making tunnels in it?

I have just noticed the lovely Sydney Opera House stained glass on the door window…did you make it?😀

You might want to hold your wine glass in the hand opposite your lav mic.

Hi jess, great episode as usual. It's so lovely to see you so very excited about spring. You truly are an insperation... You also mentioned Discord. I've lost my link as I broke my phone, bropping it down the stairs, 😢boohoo... saddly, now I can't find my discord link. Can you send it to me again. I had an iPhone before, and now it is a samsung, which I am struggling to use... I wanted help from the group as I fail every year with my spring onions and was going to ask the group for suggestions , but I dont know what im doing wrong. Kindest regards. Kim

Hi Jessie, for the first time this year I’ve had rats in my garden polytunnel and now I’m worried about growing in it. Is there anything required to disinfect the soil of rat urine etc? I’m a gardening noob so this may be a very silly question. 😊

Did you bump into Steve aka Digwell Greenfingers ? You’ve gotta my girlies when out otherwise they’ll strip the plot bare. Could you pleases put a link up for Hannah’s channel as I seem to have lost it since getting new phone - many thanks, see you in march when hopefully it gets warmer

Random question. The growlights you have int he background, do you have those set to "full spectrum" ? i.e. white, red and yellow LEDs on? Or just to white light?

Hello jessica where can you buy the yellow tan boots that you wear in your videos they are very nice boots and are they steel toe capped thanks your a lovely genuine funny kind lady too.

1:38 I'm dying to know, What was in your breakfast sandwich?

Greetings, Not to be daff, but what is the benefit of toad eggs(what did you call them?), other than the obvious reproduction? Cheers

Hi Jessie, do you ever paint the wood of your raised beds?

I suppose if you were like every other RU-vidr and referred to us as "you guys" they'd understand?

💐🤩😊😻🐔

Hello My Jessie Babe.
