@roots and refuge My wife and I made kale and eggs with kale from the garden for the first time because of your recommendation! We have had it twice now and hope to get a couple more rounds before our kale bolts from heat! So grateful for you branching out to share your kitchen with us!! Your channel has enriched our life and faith - keep gardening to the glory of God!
Love his expression when you call him sweet Miah. We all choose to be the sun or the wind. I love seeing you shine on him.

It sounds like your congested. Take some Cayenne pepper, raw honey and apple cider vinegar mix and take a tablespoon. Then later in the day take yellow onion skins and make a tea out of it and drop a garlic clove in it. These two make you feel so much better.

Spray the ground around the eggplant before you spray the plant. The flea beetle jumps to the ground as soon as you spray the foliage. Double whammy!
You light a fire in me every time I see you in your garden

“Sweet momma” made my eyes well up instantly. Little boys are the best.
Oh! I'd love to see menu planning ideas concerning what's fresh in the garden!
You could probably use the spicy greens in with tomato, celery, carrot kind if a spicy V8 juice.
I was pruning tomatoes this morning and cut off some nice larger stems. I decided to plant them and put them in the shade to see if they would root and grow. Experiments are fun in the garden :)

I always do stuff like this :) I hope they grow roots for you. I stick pieces that break off of plants all over the place. And sometimes they survive! :D

I put mine in a glass or bottle of water in the shade for about a week and they sprout roots, makes that transition a little more successful👍🏻
JESS, BLESS your heart for recommending SINGLE DAD HOMESTEADING. I LOVE THIS.
There is nothing better than after a long day at work to come home and just have a sit down at my favorite place my garden..
You can put the Okra on the grill whole do not cut just wash it ....will not have the slime if cook that way....

How long do you cook it for? Do you wrap it in foil? What heat temperature do you cook it at? I am very interested in trying this method!!!

I have recently been told that also. My sister said that she pours boiling water on them, but that wouldn't be good in a garden. We have always just taken a shovel and completely messed up their mound. It makes them mad and they leave to make their mound somewhere else.

I love the tip on mental and spiritual health through keeping busy ...great point. and I thank you
Jess, you really inspired me to start my garden in a space I thought I'd never be able to grow anything in. I thought of you as I picked my ripened tomatoes and peppers from my greenstalk this morning (zone 10b) and how blessed I was to have come across your channel at the time that I did. Thank you for being the inspiration to thousands. Blessings to you and your loving family ❣️
Dehydrate and crumble the Kale. You can throw it in soups, sauces and stews.

Thank you for putting your tour on today that made me feel better. also gave me some good ideas. your the best. Its nice when every one throws around ideas and we all can catch and use what we want. God Bless. Glad your feeling better.

I agree, I have gotten so many tips and ideas from viewers also. I love this community 😊🐦
Well here I am watching ❤😊
Wow, you already have squash almost ready to harvest 😯 mine are just getting started. By the way I enjoyed the blooper lol, looks like something I would do 🤣👍
You're so inspiring! Love you, sweet miah and the boys. And I appreciate the way you treat your animals ❣️❣️ thanks for sharing with us
1) Gabe is killing me with his cuteness. I just wanna reach through the screen and and snuggle into his fluff. He looks so soft!!! 2)Ah, that's what's happening! I usually do my gardening in the early morning, and I'd noticed some bug activity on my Zucchinis, so I was spraying some neem oil, but then they were getting these weird brown spots on the leaves (that were otherwise a very nice green). But the oil scorching the leaves in the sun would make sense-- noted, I'll only do that in the evenings, if needed. 3) I really appreciate the weekly updates. I always get anxious when things don't immediately get huge, and I start worrying that I've somehow stunted the growth of *everything* in my garden. But seeing the weekly progress of your garden, I start to realize that I'm just being an impatient and demanding, lol. 4) Hope you're feeling better, sweet Mama! :D
Glad you’re feeling better!
Hey Jess, we've been following your garden and homesteading adventures for a little under a year now and have learned so much already. The spicy green you mentioned looks and sounds to me like "Wasabi Arugula"... "Kick in the mouth of horseradish" sounds about right... I love it to bits, but my wife and son aren't big fans. Also want to thank you for the tips about the bugs, we're dealing with lice mostly so far, and last year we had our carrots all ruined by rootworms/beetles.
The garden is really beginning to grow -- looking forward to next week.
you and your wonderful family are a great inspiration thank you
Thanks for sharing another great video Jess you always keep it real with us about gardening. God bless you
Having so much to do in the garden really is a labor of love. Your garden is beautiful both before and after 💕
Thank you for sharing! I love seeing/hearing what you do with your harvests
Hah! Running into the chimes....priceless! You are so funny! Thanks for the info!
Thank you for sharing!!!!!! I adore your garden and your attitude! 😀🌱
Love your videos! So inspiring. Love the sound of the wind chime at the end. 😂😂😂
Love seeing your garden!! Excited to see how the snake beans grow! 😊
Garden tour time is my favorite time of the week. I learn so much every video!
I get so inspired every time I watch your videos!
Hello from Vancouver Island Canada's West Coast. Our weather certainly a little different from yours but your garden tips are always fantastic love to watch your vids thanks so much for sharing
Watching this again as inspiration, April 4 2020 during the COVID-19 crisis, while so many of the plants are small in the garden. A great reminder that in less than 2 months, the garden will really be ready to pop!
Great video as always. Look like the plants doing good and all the green in the garden looks good.
I love that we are a longer start season that way you are a few weeks ahead and kind of prep me for my garden season. I also LOVE those kitties in the garden!!
Thank you for sharing ideas of how to cook with the harvest. Finding uses for lettuces other than salad unlocks the door for finding new ways to use all of our produce!
Bless you for working so hard for us while you were sick!
I learn soooo much from YOU!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Happy gardening!!!
Thanx for being real!!! Praying you feel better by the second! Blessings
Your garden is growing and growing and getting more beautiful as each tour goes by!!! The ending blooper was a funny success as well !!!! Be careful Jess love you guys God Bless!!!!!!!
I love y'all! So inspired to grow ALL the things! I live in West TN so I am so glad to learn something from someone with the same miserable, humid, southern summers.
Sweet Mama!! Oh Ben!! :) And Gabe is growing like crazy!
Looking great! And thanks for the giggle at the end! Glad I watched all the way!,
The chime accident was HILARIOUS! Thanks for the laugh. Your garden is beautiful as always! Keep up the amazing work!
Lol loved the end blooper! Thanks for sharing your garden! As usual it was a beautiful video! 💖💖💖
Enjoyed the tour! things are almost in the prime of growing. Everything looks great!
Throughout the growing seasons, I would love to see the ways that your family eats and what all comes from the garden!
I truly love gardening tours 🤗💚💚💚 very excited to see your beautiful garden grow to Harvest 👍🏽🌱🌱🌱 love your animals too 🥰
Thats an awesome way to use extras... juicing. Love it that idea. Genius!
Found your videos a week or two ago and want to say thank you so much for sharing! I grew up in Michigan and now live in zone 8b and had no clue all the things I didn't know about hot/humid climate cultivation especially for tomatoes, my garden is going to be so much nicer this year thanks to you
I just love love love GARDEN TOURS. Everything looks amazing. Awesome. God Bless your harvest!!! Bertha in TEXAS
What an amazing garden Jess! While you may still be learning you've taught me so much. I love how Ben loves gardening as much as you. Gabriel is a cutie patootie! Hugs
You are just one sweet family!!!! Your magnolia peas make me excited for my little plants that are not only a few inches tall to grow nice and big. Thanks for showing us no one is perfect💖
Looks like your off to a great start. Love the end! 💜
Thank you for the video, I really enjoy your garden, and I love Gabe😁 Have a Blessed day! ** HUGS & PRAYERS **
Love these garden tours!
Your garden is still just as beautiful as usual!♥️ you’ve really inspired me to garden as much as possible even if I live in a small apartment 😅 thank you for all that you do because you’re truly some of the best inspiration this city girl could have 🤗💕
Nice to see your garden coming along and I LOVE outtakes. You should fit them in some more.
I hope you are feeling much better Jess. I am very thankful that you were up to doing your garden tour! I really needed the motivation and information. Especially about the neem oil. 💜💜💜 The garden is sooo beautiful!
Thank you for the imperfect garden tour, it was so encouraging! To me it still looked great and beautiful. People need to see how it really is so our expectations of our own gardens are realistic.
So happy to find a long forum gardening channel 👏🙏
Sorry you've been sick! This is definitely an inspiration. Looking forward to all the developments. 😀
I am SO SORRY that you have been sick. The bug visited me as well! The garden is looking great and I cannot wait to see it all filled out! Thanks for being my garden inspiration!!!!
You remind me of how my Dad treated our animals....they were so loved. Thank you for that, sweet Jess! xo
Haha! Love the blooper 😆 Also loving how you tell us what you'll be doing with what you grow. Meal inspiration 🙌
Thank you so much for sharing your garden. Michigan is still cold and dreary, so you are proving my "garden fix". Send some sunshine my way, ok?
Loved the video, "Sweet Momma". Hugs and prayers ya'll
wow, things are looking great. We are still waiting on the weather before we can get things in the ground. Beautiful
Thanks for the tour. Love your garden. The education is nice too!
Bloopers and all.... Love it!
Beautiful as always! I really like the blooper at the end. I hope that becomes a new part of your videos! ❤
The blooper put a smile on my face xx
G'day guys, great garden tour and thanks for the great information. Gabe is growing so fast he is a good looking dog. Pray that you are back to full health soon. God bless you guys.
Awesome video, lots of tips and tricks. Talking of tricks that was a clever trick at the end with the wind chimes...made me laugh 😆😂🤣🤪
Looking great in the garden. The blooper was fun lol My wind chimes are also on a cattle panel arch and i do that all the time. I’ll think of you each time I clang my head on them now lol
I absolutely adore you. I have your videos playing in the background when I do things like paint and crochet. 🖤 i can listen to you talk about your garden all day. (Sometimes I do
Thanks for showing your "in process" garden. I learn more when things aren't perfect cause it tells me I don't need to have perfection to have a garden.
Thank you for your effort to share... It's a joy to watch you gardening. When the weeds, bugs, or heavy rains batter my seedlings,I remember what you said, ' It's ok to fail ' that's how we learn. ☺ Paz
I've done a lot of garden planning this weekend and am using your garden tours for inspiration. Thanks for everything!
Really glad I watched this. Lots of useful information. I hadn't thought about throwing those odds and ends in the juicer. Great plan!
I'm SO excited for garden tour videos!! These are honestly what got me hooked on yalls channel!! I hope you are feeling better Jess, I hear it in your voice :(
Hahahhaa! You are the sweetest! You should add little bloopers like that at the end of your videos!
Love that you will be telling us what you use the fruits for. I would love to see just how much you harvest. I’m sure it is a lot. My garden is alive and doing well. Praying that tonight’s storm doesn’t do any damage. Tied up tomato plants in hopes to keep them safe. Blessings your way Jess!
You can also dehydrate the greens and powder them, then add them to your smoothies!! So happy to be seeing garden tours again!! I missed them over the winter💚💚💚 and the flea beetles are terrible this year😭 my poor eggplants
My new favorite channel 💚
Love the direction you are taking the tours, with sharing what you do with what you grow! Please share recipes for okra :)
Thank you so much for posting these garden tours! This year I was unable to do my garden due to crazy life things not under my control and its killing me. So I am getting my garden fix thru you. You guys are awsome!
Your channel has inspired me to start another account for my patio garden :) I love all he tips you give out and one day I hope I have a garden like yours :)
Your garden and farm is beautiful. I can’t wait to get my garden in by the end of the week. And some day my little farm will be up and going
