As an Indigenous Anishinaabeg/Mohawk woman whose ancestors invented Three Sisters Gardening, I laughed out loud when you said “Three Sisters Garden that morphed into Two Sisters and a cousin!” So true! Gardening is such a dynamic and unexpected process and a good lesson for everyone to learn. I will be thinking about that statement for a long while.

My Osage is a few generations back, but that totally cracked me up, too. this year's garden is strictly an experiment, if I get one tomato and a handful of potatoes, I'll be a happy camper.

Today is the day that I became an urban chicken farmer! My girls arrived this morning. I am as excited (and nervous) as a first-time momma. lol.

How exciting!! Welcome to the chicken club!! Don’t be nervous. Just be sure to reach out to this AMAZING community Jess and Miah have built with questions! I can bet you that those of us with chickens had a lot of the same questions/concerns in the beginning. Plus, I love ANY EXCUSE I can find to talk to people about my girls lol 🐔🐣🧡 good luck and enjoy!

Hi beautiful Lady.🙋‍♀️ I’m relatively new to your channel. I’ve watched you off & on & not sure why I didn’t regularly watch before. I am now hooked. Not because of your handsome men (lil. & big) that I enjoy or dog which I think is sooo cool. It truly is the garden but not for the reasons you would think. Your garden is NOT PRISSY & PERFECT! You don’t have perfect boarders or use perfect materials. I LOVE THAT🥰 I see other channels & every thing is all straight & perfect & they wear pretty make up & nothing is messy which brings me to my dream, your green house which is also messy! I LOVE THAT! I laugh when you mentioned it because that would totally be me!!! You are amazing, outstanding, incredibly insightful & so knowledgeable & willing to share the good, bad & the ugly. My heart leaps when your excited about the little things like putting your face in the plants and enveloping the scents, or how your smile lights up the universe when you see blooms. My day is made when your on sharing so thank you for you. God has truly blessed the Earth with your presence. 🙏👩‍🌾🥰🙋‍♀️

Those baby goats getting so excited for you just made my entire week. 😍

Happy 420 Jess I take pride in being able to legally grow my own organic craft medicine and learning from your practices makes it easy and fun, thanks again

Oh, I understand the delight!!! My daughter's hens have decided that the best place to lay their eggs is in the trash can of hay for her rabbit that she keeps next to the front door to make fetching it simple. It's like... delivery service!!! Eight of the nine hens think it's the best place. Of course, number nine likes to lay hers under the lawnmower behind the coop, so you can't win 'em all :)

I woke up to snow this morning! Luckily, I’d covered most tender things last night, but had to rush out and finish covering a few others. Fingers crossed everything pulls through.

There's nothing better than spending a beautiful Arkansas Sunset with you in your garden Jess. That's perfection for me.

I have a small one in the basement for seedlings and I have a full trash can of empty soil bags and empty pots ready for seedlings and dirt in the floor and my seedlings are sprouting and it's my happy place until everyone moves outside.

That adorable moment in so many of these videos where the baby goats run up to Jess yelling, “MAMA!!” 😍🥰

I do the exact same thing with my eggs. We eat the dirty ones and give away the clean ones. My mother in law looked at me like I was crazy when I told her that. 😂

Radishes and squash are very inspirational for a person needing to work on the patience virtue! Some of my favorites, too!

Poetic seed packets and the art on Hudson Valley's seed packets! I've been keeping them and I'm going to frame them in one of those 4x4 16 picture frames.

Squash bugs were my garden nemesis. I started planting marigolds with small heads every where I thought they would show up ie summer/winter squash. Diotameasous earth on the nymphs. Within a year the bugs have stayed out of the garden. Marigolds have become one of my favorite flowers and no squash bugs in the garden for the past 6ys.

Poetry and promises of what could be is always a hard one to pass by 🤪

You are SSSOOO romantic about everything down to seed packets...I LOVE YOUR ❤!!! I can hardly wait for the big reveal on the move. You & your family are so deserving. You bring sssoo much happiness, joy & a wealth of information to all your subscribers. You have Blessed me & others & God is returning those Blessings to you & yours!!! Y'all are so deserving of the many Blessings coming your way! So happy for you & Sweet Miah & those precious boys!!! Love & Blessings! YOU ARE A GOOD & FAITHFUL SERVANT.

Ahh! I really needed a snippet of your peace today. Thank you for sharing.

You're dressed to match your root pouch bag with the dwarf tomato! What a sweet gift!

What a great children's book Mack Mercy and Pearl would make.

I hope your channel reaches 1M by the end of the year 🥳💜🙏🌟

Your greenhouse may be a mess but it's still what dreams are made of! For the past 15 months I''ve been watching and learning and taking notes! I just completed my dream backyard garden using so much of what I learned from you. Next winter, I'm building a greenhouse. I bless YOU Jess xoxo Thank you!

I just got a breville barista express!! Now I don't know what I'd do without it!🤣🤣. I'm having a great time watching this by the fire with my latte☕

I can't tell you how much I look forward to your daily uploads. I know how much work it is. I appreciate you.🧡

It doesn't matter where you move or where you go you always bring more memories with you I have learned that through life and it's a blessing really but I'm just so thankful for you to your my fav KZreadrs I look forward to your videos everyday your blogs your beautiful family you're awesome animals and you're amazing Garden to listen to your helps with the tips and everything on growing things it's truly a blessing thank you for everything Jess this is inspiring to me!!💞✌🌻🌹

Got my own volunteers popping up at mo. Got a radish in with my straw flowers (don’t even know how), mystery seedling in with my overwintered tomato and Rocoto peppers in with my string of pearls succulent (reusing compost), plus the usual weed assortment. Btw that green hoody is a really nice colour on you, it really suits you. Also I love how cool your greenhouse looks, all lit up like that. It’s so pretty 😊

@@fairytalefarm830 Tbh was my first time growing them. They’ve overwintered from last year. I planted them late in the year, maybe June? I just surface sowed them because sunlight helps a lot of the smaller seeds germinate apparently.

this snow is ridiculous.

My heart moves when listening to your passion for your family and farm! As a viewer and sub, I'm blessed to receive your knowledge, humor and faith! Thank you for sharing!

“The gateway animal if you will..” 😂😂😂

I immediately grabbed my early crookneck seeds and planted with you!!

Got your book today, and I just LOVE it! I've been gardening for 15 years now, and believe me, girl, I can identify with your passion and down-to-earth attitude. Your book is beautifully written and the photos are awesome. Yes, I live in western NC in Pisgah Forest, just 1 mile from the Pisgah National Forest, and we have warm days and lows in the high 30's at night. So for the next 3 days, we'll be covering everything with frost blankets. Will be glad when it's over. My seedlings need to get outside! Again, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your book. You're friend was right . . . I believe you will change the world in ways you don't even know. But God does . . . Keep up the great work, gal!

The smell of brushing against a thyme plant is heaven. Second only to basil!

Hope you remembered the basket of eggs!

I planted my beans as directed on pkg. My brother and I added the trellis like you have with cattle panels. My beans came up beautifully, however they were way too crowded. I failed... again. Animals ate all my nice tomatoes and the beans bloomed, but I only got maybe 5 from them. That's not stopping me because I'm determined and have been learning from my mistakes. Critters shouldn't be eating anything for 5,000 sqft. around; at least that's what I understood from the box and a Lycoming Night time solar powered animal repellent. Besides, I want chickens. LOL. I may have given up the year before if I hadn't found your channel. Thank you for the encouragement and the advice that it's ok to not be successful all the time with anything that we plant. Thank you. God Bless you and your family.

Your just so adorable. Thank you for all your knowledge and personality. You make my heart sing.

The kajri melon will be one of my first crops I plant when I have the ability to grow a garden. I absolutely love the idea of my boy being able to pick one and crack it open for a snack.

Love the colors of your eggs! Our big sister says we need to stick with cold hardy chickens...but your basket is soooo pretty! We love spring and you all are so far along! We have snow coming and have to wait! Thank you!!

Jess, I really liked that outfit on you. That green is good with your skin. They keep lowering our low, it started out being 38 now it's down to 31. I don't trust that it's going to be a light frost. I brought everything in that I could... and we are covering the rest. We WERE in the 50's at night!!! One thing I have learned this year... you can plant it, water, feed it and love it, but outside of that, you have NO control. Great reminder that God's in control. Now I know, time to put the long beans in the ground. Woo-Whoo!!!

I have really hot & humid weather also, and it's so nice to have another KZreadr that also has that kind of weather!

These are priceless videos Jess! These times will be precious memories. I can't believe this will be your last year there! I remember when you told us before. Your true goals are yet to be realized!💞💪🙏 I hope your 🌱🌼🌿garden ALL survives the frost.

Every time you're out there in the late evening, Jess, and the lights come on, I wish I could just sit on a corner post and watch the day slip away into the night. I love to do that very thing in our space here, but as I'm sure you can relate, I'm very rarely still enough out there to do that often.

I know chickens are the gateway animal.... but I'm looking to enter that gateway LOL I would love if you did a video about keeping chickens/what they need/how to get started etc :)

Loved hearing the family life in the back ground. Other KZreadrs apologize for the life noises around them. It always seems odd to me. Life happens and it rarely actually interferes (unless the person stops to apologize for it 😉). Your happy family and farm noises are so nice to listen to. Thanks for sharing it all.

Being that we can't usually plant before Memorial day; it is really nice to see you plant and get results!

You got me totally hooked on Botanical Interests seeds last year, lol. I love the poetic descriptions and artwork on their packages and can’t resist 😊

i wake up to these videos and they set the course of my every-day. really do feel blessed when you say it too!

Gotta love sunset in the garden !! It makes our heart smile....

The oasis' of the greenhouse and the arbor were so beautiful in the night.

I ransacked all the sheets last night to protect my tomatoes here in central NC. I am so glad it is over until fall.

Make a frost tent for your volunteer beans- just clothespin a sheet to the cattle panel & tuck the other edge in along the boards. That should protect them - frost flows to low areas like water, the elevation will help too.

My Bella Rosa determinate tomatoes are showing small flower buds in Northern Cal.....you know the excitement, Jess! :)

"Rare seeds", Jess. That phrase gets me every time. I feel as though I have to get it before the seeds disappear and I no longer have the opportunity to try growing the plant. Even when it's not even something I particularly WANTED to grow in the first place. I see the phrase "rare seed" and I just NEED to have it in my life. And I know they know my weakness, and they know that I know that they know... But there it is. C'est la vie.

Jess, whenever my pup hears you, he "talks" the entire time. Like you two are having a homesteading conversation. He makes noises that sound like Marge Simpson when she is frustrated. When he quietly barks to you, he looks at me like "hello, why are you listening to our conversation??!" We both think you're amazing, lady. ❤️🌻 God Bless!

Benjamin has no shortage of adorable moments 😍. All of your kids are really huge blessings.

Just mulch straight over the dried grass Jess. Your soil will be a very happy camper and it'll save time and effort

You know you’re really missing the garden when you read this title and immediately think sucker=tomatoes.

Oh Jess your so funny. 2 sisters and a peasant. Those baby goat crying mama to you is so precious. Can you show the blackberry supports or fencing closer? It looked cool at the quick glance in video. Love our vids.I match your romantic heart in the garden and crafting my sister. I do love those seed packets as well

You said "SOL" I just about spit out my coffee and the cats giving me a dirty look for my outburst. My family has used that term since I was little but I rarely hear others use it. Thanks for the laugh and the sense of familiarity.

Your enthusiasm for your garden makes me smile 😀

Yes, I love grocery shopping in the backyard ❤️

Yessss!! I'm so excited to see the beans at the entrance to the garden! I was one of the people that requested it. And I completely BLEW my seed budget this year, Oh dear. Means I just need to up it for next year! 🤣

Yes! Absolutely! Those seed packet descriptions are very persuasive.

Actually, your garden "planning" opens up new ways every planting season, to showcase certain plants which in turn has the potential to become desired garden plans for the future! Some areas are nice to keep and treat like a classroom! Right, Teacher? (You are awesome!) Much love and God bless.

Our last frost is around Mother's Day. I have a dozen things to plant so hopefully I make sure they are protected well.

Arroz con pollo was my BEST producer last year. Holy cow do they produce a lot of peppers. Highly recommend

I love a yellow zucchini since it can be used as yellow squash, stewed, marinated slabs grilled, pickled, fried, and bread.

I appreciate you making a VLOG schedule and sticking with it.

Hello Illinois here.Woke up to snow all over this morning. im glad I covered most crops yesterday but forgot about a few plants like grapes and corn I’m sure are done for.My garden bed trellises were a huge challenge to cover luckily I was able to still take some out and bend over others to cover.

Last year we had a frost come a month after our average last frost date. I had beans climbing up our fence at the time. I took sheets and attached them to the fence with clothes pins to protect the entire plant. It worked really good. We had temperatures at or below freezing for three nights.

Planting my first Arkansas garden this year and was impatient. Took your advice and covered all the baby plants. Seems crazy after the beautiful day we had but sure can feel the temperature dropping. You inspire me!

Right there with you Jess! Those seed packets get me every time! 🥰

I’m a beginner Gardner using grow bags. We’ve been 55 for lows at night in South Ms. It was really cold yesterday morning with wind blowing strong from the Gulf So no big deal. However it rained and stormed for like 7 days. What’s funny is that I kept going out the front door to check on my plants and my husband did laugh at me. He’s like well honey are they still their? I’m like but the leaves are getting wet. LOL. Wait when a hurricane comes and I move them inside. LOL

It warms my heart every time I hear the boys bless us

I'm so excited for all of you on your new adventure and can't wait to see your beautiful garden in full bloom.

I have a jungle of tomato starts in my kitchen right now. It is waaaay past our last frost date, and I was kind of beating myself up a tiny bit because I didn't get my dozens of tomatoes in the ground a week ago like I wanted to. After covering the new growth on the Pomegranates, fig, and european grapes that miraculously survived snowmageddon, (plus the myriad of other various frost tender things already up and out), I'm soooooo glad I didn't have to try to cover all the tomatoes and peppers too. Lol

I have been a fan of Chef Dan Barber for ages!! He is an amazing thinker with so much vision. I have been buying from Row 7 for a couple years now. The super antho snow pea is amazing and the plants are so cute. Ohhh and that little squash! Yum!

I have the same pack of sunflower beauties! So excited to see all the varieties.

I'm so excited for all the flowers it will be glorious.

Thank you for giving a moving update, I really appreciate it! Can't wait to see what's next!

Always so fun to watch you in your garden.

The ending was great! So fun!

I feel like poop and dirt are my life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! :) My chickens make me happy!
