I love how you weigh the food and compare to how much it would be at the store. It makes it totally worth it.

Jill, I want to tell you how much I appreciate the quality and value of your content! I feel that your content actually enable me to be a much more productive farmer on our small, 1 acre farm!!!

Hi Jill, you’re an inspiration when I think I’m too tired or don’t have time. I just say “If Jill has littles and another on the way while farming, running a business and teaching classes while taking time out for us then I can get my gardening done too!” Your abundant farm is such a joy to see. Bugs and all.😉 From CA 🏖️take care.

Great veggies and fruit harvest! I just planted my cucumbers today in zone 5b/6a. I would love to see a tour of your entire vegetable, fruit and flower gardens.

June picking the strawberries was the absolute cutest thing ever! 😍🙌🏻💕

I think you're one of the best when it comes to really showing the example and teaching through your words and experience.

Blackberries made my mouth water😋. Would love to see how to grow celery. I’ve always been intimidated.

Thank you for sharing. For some reason I had not been seeing you on my feed but I have you back. Just in time for garden time. . Beautiful family and growing.

I like taking the cucumbers and pureeing them. I put them in ice cube trays and add a cube to my morning smoothie. So refreshing!

So jealous of your cucumbers! Year 3 for me trying to grow them…I won’t give up lol

Thankyou for the harvest tour Jill,that was great.❤

Love this Jill.. such an inspiration to others. Best mom 💖💖💪🏼

You've inspired me so much! And, reminded me to go pollinate my first cucumbers. I have approx. 12 plants, but, not many bees. I just learned about cucumbers that do not need to be pollinated, and planted some a few days ago. Congratulations! Cheers!

This was so encouraging! Thank you for this video!

Great video Jill so happy to see you whenever you are able to have the time. With all y'all are doing you must be under some stress about the videos but I do hope you are giving yourself the grace to do as you are able and not so much what may be expected. There will always be other days for video but children only come once and there are no do overs. Parenting is not for the weak at heart. God bless all of y'all I hope the whole family finds their own meaning and place with the new addition and the baby is healthy and happy. Steven

This is one of your best videos. Loved the pace, which you could do with the voice over, showing the volume of your produce as well as the value by weighing and comparing what the price would be. I just picked a beautiful salad of an assortment of greens and herbs adding cut up strawberries that I am having success(!) with this year. Added a homemade balsamic dressing. Soooo rewarding and delicious. I am in suburban NYC.
