I hope you see this but even if you dont, i just want to thank you. I dont think you realize how much you help some people. Not only have you taught me so much, you have and still are helping get me out of a really tough time in my life. I looked forward to your videos when i hadn't a thing left to look forward to. Since getting more into gardening with your videos as some what of a guide, i am finding my peace. You've opened my eyes to such an amazing community 💚 keep your heart green girl 💚

Last year I had squash bugs badly. We always go visit family for two weeks and that’s when the squash bugs come. I ended up taking a small shop vac and sucking them up. It helped a lot.

I’m so glad that you took a break from new content, because I’m loving these old videos and watching you grow and learn. You are a natural born teacher! Love you, and hope you have a lovely Mother’s Day!

Is it just me or do you love the sound when Jess moves the plants around? The sound of the leaves rustling is beautiful to me. ❤ Jess you and your family have been a huge inspiration to me to continue my journey in my garden and try new varieties and not worry too much. I love your channel and my dream is to homestead as well!

You could also give your cats a cat corner, where you plant cat grass and cat nip to give them a place to want to be more than in your lilies and you could put a scaredy cat plant in the bed of lilies to deter you beautiful cats 😁

Hey, Jess... Try growing Algonquin squash (C. Pepo). It is a Native American variety that is resistant to squash bugs. The vines and leaves are a little "prickly", so you definitely need to wear gloves. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 6/18/2019.

I've grown Lillies for decades with cats. Never had an issue. Never. I wouldn't worry too much. Animals are surprisingly good at avoiding what can harm them. ;-)

I agree. We have "stray" neighboring cats and they have been in the Lilly (aka bulb bed) and never had any issue. I would never put Lillies inside because the inside cats get curious and eat them (which is leads to poisoning). But the outside cats have more to be curious about.

Your garden looks beautiful! It brings so much joy! Thank you for sharing! 💖

Awww! You just mentioned the post I shared in our gardening group! 🤣 That was pretty cute though! 😊 " I used to see a bee & go 'yikes! A bee!' & now I'm all like, oh wow a bee, hi, can I get you anything? Need a drink? Want a pillow? Need to borrow the car?" 😂

The best medicine for the garden is the gardener......❤️❤️❤️

Just ate our first zucchini! Sauted in butter! So good and more coming!

I absolutely love the smell of basil. It’s almost transcendent for me. Putting a leaf on a tomato slice with a piece of mozzarella is just about perfect for me.

Your garden is truly inspirational. I love having flowers in the garden and letting some herbs flower out. Seeing the happy bees and butterflies makes me smile and is food for the soul

It's so lovely sharing your beautiful garden with you, Jess...thank you for that....It all look's so amazing!! I agree about the flowers..we all need a little whimsy in our lives. xo

Your garden is so lovely.

OMG, I love your garden and your chanel! I can tell you're so passionate about your beautiful garden! I thought you almost had tears in your eyes at one point. The plants are growing so amazingly well! Keep up the great work!

So pretty with the sun coming thru the woods that have been cleared.. Your garden is beautiful!!! Can't waite to see more of the Alpacas!! As always Blessed be!!

This is wonderful timing Jess! Just this morning I watched your "Grow Something Beautiful" video where you talked about your journey to creating your own potager garden.

Enjoyed the tour. Gardening is so rewarding! Cheers from NOLA!

Thank you for letting me know I can continue to sow squash through the summer. None of mine have survived. I harvested one yellow squash but being my first it sure felt great!!! I will sow more! 🤗 your garden is looking great!❤🙏

It looks beautiful ,tulsie smells amazing and it's called the protector I hope the new baby's are exploring and settling can't wait for more up close of there personality's

Really enjoyed the garden tour. Happy harvest.

I love how Sweet Miah brings you coffee and water etc to the garden. I need to mention this to my husband. 🥤

I look forward to your garden tours. We recently moved this year (to the mountains) and I haven’t quite figured out how I’ll do gardens. So, until I do, I live vicariously through you 😊🍅🥬🥒🌶🥕🌻🌺🌸💚😍

I absolutely love your garden your videos you have inspired me to garden. Also you have such a calming voice.

Companion plant the squash with raddishes and garlic. Trombocino squash has a good resistance to the squash bugs. Good Luck from Alabama home of prolific squash bugs! Beautiful Garden!

Jess, I just wanted to say that you are an amazing person. I really look up to you! Your garden is goals really.. Much love from the Netherlands!

Such a lovely space. I have always felt that I needed to do edibles. And always enough to can or put up. Never have I planted flowers until this year. I always thought that was a waste. I am so proud of my garden this year with the flowers and edibles. It's pretty and functional. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

The Garden is looking alive! I'm loving your tours so much! I'm happy you got your dream animals too! You are living the dream! 🌻🌱😁🍅🌶🥦🌼🌿 Thanks for always sharing Jess!!

Thanks Jess.

Good morning to you Ma'am, Look at how GREAT your garden looks 👍🏻👌👏 I wish I had that many tomatoes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ keep up the GREAT work!!!! have an AWESOME week God bless you 😊✌

Lovely as always Jess!!! I'm so excited to see the different types of melons fill out the trellises!!! My peppers have been taking their sweet time growing as well. The other day I was checking my peppers out and I just so happened to move the straw mulch around them and I saw a ton of rollie pollies under the straw and I thank that might be why my peppers are taking their sweet time. And as far as squash bugs I use a hand held vacuum cleaner on them . The kiddos even like helping sometimes!!! Hope i could help!!! Love you guys !!!!! God bless!!!

Jess, you heal me. Your open hearted spirit, embracing life and all that grows in your garden.

Both my Dar & Delicatesse cucumbers have been going off like gangbusters. Fermenting some pickles this afternoon. Also have issues w/ squash bugs on my zucchini- the scallop squash doesn’t seem to care. Planting another zucchini and enjoying the volunteer butternut! So grateful for those plants that thrive!

Wow tomatoes looking beautiful

We were just down in your neck of the woods today in Jonesboro, but only for lunch-- then back to the farm!

I LOVE seeing your garden! I follow my Air Force family now, so I rent a home and can no longer plant in the yard. I love my pots...but it’s not the same😥. Living vicariously through your amazing garden really fills a void...THANK YOU so much!!!

Yes, potager! I'm always wracking my brain on how to combine ornamental and vegetables. Your garden is so inspiring! Love the fence idea for the lillies, I have the same concerns about foxgloves, so I'll have to use that!

As always I love your garden tour jess. Such a lovely garden. Harvest video pleaseeee..

Looking great. So fun to start eating fresh each yr!! Hugs

Can you give us the peroxide mix recipe and what to use it on, thanks

You have truly Inspired me for my garden. No failures only happy accidents. Love that you have all the family involved, my kids are too. They love it. Thank you for being so great

Your garden is absolutely enchanting! It is my favorite part of your homestead. I live in zone 7 and am growing butterfly pea, on the front of my tunnel. I have given it plenty of space but it is growing VERY slowly. lol I read the same from others so I'm just going to try and be patient.

Your garden is so beautiful! We are having bumper tomatoes here in McKinney this year. I've only gotten a few cucumbers so far and with 4" of rain on Sunday, they now have powdery mildew. This was also a bad year for onions, going to try more for the fall. Anyway, your channel has become my favorite, especially with your herd of new babies. God Bless and happy gardening!

T.Y. Jess. Your garden is glorious. And your flowers look beautiful. Yr zennia as big as your hand is Gorgous. Its all making me hungry for veggies. Everything looks so good.💥

You are a few weeks ahead of me. We don't have many squash bugs but I always have a problem with squash vine borers. Your garden looks lovely. I'm totally jealous of your flowers. Thanks for the tour

So cool how you show that perfection is not always possible,the tours are awesome that way thank you,I'll stop beating myself up,nature is gracious and punishing sometimes,Balance!!!

Wow ... you're tomatoes are massive .... I hope my Brad's Atomics are as nice as yours .... love seeing all those different colors .... can't wait to try them. I'm a long ways off of course, being here in PA (zone 6a). You are so lucky in that you are able to enjoy the fruits (and veggies) of your labor for so many months out of the year. The nice thing is that I get to share in that and at least see what is to come in my own garden. To think that you already have melons that have reached their full potential is crazy! Enjoy your garden ... it is beautiful for sure. Take care.

I'm growing lots of calendula to use in homemade soap. Thanks so much for tips on drying them out.

G'day guys, garden is looking really great. I planted black cherry tomatoes this year for the first time, got my first ripe ones the other day. They taste really good, will be growing them every year now. God bless you guys.

Oh and of course I love your garden tours.

Most all my plants are doing good. My tomatoes are taking for ever to ripen it's just so hot here. My melons and squash are doing great so far this year I have been blessed no squash bugs no Vine borersso I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the rest of the season your garden looks gorgeous I really enjoyed the tour

Yesss!!! I'm so excited! It's so inspiring to watch your tours and to see your progress and all your hard work paying off. Someday we will be at your level- prayers and God willing- until then, I appreciate learning in your classroom for us dreamers ♡

So excited to start this years garden and see where you have abundance. You have definitely figured out peppers at least!

I love your garden tours :) I'm living vicariously through you this year...getting there again with a garden, but tomatoes and peppers look a little week here in New England. Garlic I planted last fall is looking good though! And...crazy thing - I planted onion sets last year. They did not take. I left them in and they are growing now and some getting bigger...go figure!

Love love love your tours! I'm up here in zone 7a, so its good to see what's coming. I'm having some similar experience, no cukes yet but harvested my first banana pepper today! i'm growing the kaho melon too and mine doesn't have fruits yet but i'm looking forward to that very soon. i'll also be watching for when you start harvesting ground cherries, im trying them for the first time ever, and they are HUGE and full of fruits but i have no idea when they will be ready

Hi from Mass. I literally just transplanted to our garden, it has been very wet & cool here. As of this week we have finally had a break and a warm streak. In my 30 years of home gardening I have never planted so late. God Bless & Good harvest!

I’m in Northern California but it is so hot! My garden almost died with all the rain in May but, I started my garden in April and I’m just now seeing tomatoes ripening and more squash!

Thank you for this encouraging update. I live just on the other side of the Arkansas border into Oklahoma, about 2.5 hours from y'all, and have been experiencing the same weather. We were a little later getting our plants in this year but they are looking promising so far. I had to comment once I saw you are growing Lemon Squash. I started growing it about 5 years ago and absolutely love it. The squash bug battle is always tough but like you, I can't bring myself to sacrifice any pollinators to chemicals. I grow mine in a tomato cage which makes it a little easier for me to flick those dudes down into a soapy cup. Keep up the good fight! God bless you and your family.

It’s looking good. I grow my pepper plants inside the big box tomato cages, they love them.

It has been so hot here in Modesto CA, I have been harvesting tomato’s, cucumbers, strawberries an bush beans. I made a giant bowl of fresh salsa with my tomato’s and peppers, yum. It won’t last long.

Everything looks good! My best cucumbers have been my transplanted ones. I have got over 20 cucumbers and serval almost ready. The ones I direct sowed is slow growing. I been making some cucumber refrigerator salad with some of them. Yes so much rain!

Wow! Great as always!

I just ordered 300 lady bugs and one praying mantis for my garden over at Ebay

You have such an amazing space. Great job! 😁

Looks great ❤️🐝

I love cinnamon basil the way you love holy basil. I could keep my face buried in it all day!

i actually bought some sour gerkins from Bakers Creek after listening to your talk about them. It took forever it to grow but that thing seems to thrive better than any of the other cucumber plants I have. That thing it grabbing onto everything around it. I seen little tiny cucumbers coming up. I can't wait to share them with everybody to make an impression since nobody around here even knows what they are here in South Carolina.

Jess, when doing your garden tours, do you have a cheat sheet, or an absolute awesome memory identifying what each plant is. I wouldn't ask except you have so many different types of say cantaloupe and the plants look exactly the same. Regardless, I'm impressed and feel you have the best gardening vlog anywhere!!

Floored by the Hunger Games quote! And I thought Jeremiah was the geek :) You are very inspiring! I got a (late) garden started because of your videos! Even if I don't get any food out of it, I surely get joy! :)

Love your channel! I watch every day. Just want to add that Iillies are just about my favorite flower I have always had them. Also, I have always have a cat, now I have 2 that just moved in with us. My cats will eat all kinds of grasses, even my spider plants but I have never seen one even sniff the lillies, and they are everywhere, in my garden, down the drive, in the veggie patch, window boxes, and on the deck both front and back. The last kitty I had, Chloe, she lived to over 18 yrs of age. She didn't die of lily poisoning. So, yes, be careful but don't lose sleep over it. Thanks for the many hours of inspiration and courage you have given me for gardening and for life in general. Your devotionals are some of my favorites.

Hi Jess, your gardens and tours are so inspiring and beautiful. I totally enjoy your vlogs. I track my gardens’ progress by seeing what’s growing in yours. Keep up the good work! So about the “daylillies being dangerous to cats” thing... just my experience and two cents... I have seven cats- typical cat lady- when my husband died I needed living creatures around me- and they have full access to my totally fenced in yard with flower and veggie gardens. Their ages range from 11 to 15 years old, and I’ve had them all since they were old enough for me to adopt them. They do chew on grasses occasionally- I’ve heard it helps an upset tummy- I’m not an expert by any means- but I’ve never had them chew on my daylillies - as far as I know anyway- or any other flowers. They love to lay in the flower garden in the shade of some of the bigger leaved plants and for some reason they like my asparagus bed for their bathroom 😜but plants aren’t on their menu. Your memorial garden is a beautiful idea. Trust your gut and common sense.

sooo much wisdom and so many great tips thank you so much! I planted zinnias that were called candy cane, but they do not look anythinng like that, they all seem to be groving on a 70's looking theme, LOL...sorta oranges and yellows and creams and tomato reds, very cool, not what I was expecting, but that makes it neat! note to self, only a FEW plants on the trellis, not one at each square! sigh...they are all choking each other, getting some beans but not growing up like yours are....great learning experience..=)

Flowers in a veggie garden...food for the belly and food for the soul. I am trying something for squash bugs I heard about of FB last year. I am dousing fish emulsion on my squash plants right after it rains and several times a week. So far, so good.

Beautiful video! The beni melons are big producers I'm happy to see yours taking off, mine are struggling this season but I've got hope lol

28:45 SMART choice with the Lillies. My friend's cat just ended up in the Vet ER just a few weeks ago with near fatal kidney shutdown. They were shocked to learn it was their anniversary lillies!

Be patient on the beans, they are healthy and vibrant, just late bloomers...gotta have at least one late bloomer in your beautiful garden.😊. Everything is lookin awesome. Many blessings.

I love your farm 👍
