My brother- in- law knew Julia Child. Years ago, he was hosting a large antiques fair. There were many vendors. People like Tasha Tudor ( with whom he was also friendly) and Julia Child would come and speak at his events. After one of Ms. Child's classes, she asked if she could get something to eat. It was late and the only food my brother-in-law could find available in the arena was hot dogs! He was mortified that all he could offer one of the world's greatest chefs was a hot dog. Nonetheless, he took it to her. She was thrilled! She said she hadn't had a hot dog in many years and thought it was a real treat!

I have no self control, I want to start and plant ALL THE THINGS!

I thought “I wish I had garden friends”

Here’s a little story of Julia child. My mother in law used to babysit for her in New Haven Ct . A very Polish Italian neighborhood in the city. Houses were an arms reach away from each other with only a smidge for a yard. People could open their kitchen windows and borrow sugar. lol most of the homes were 3 stories tall. These families back then were huge like a minimum of 6 kids. I always loved Julia Childs approach on life and cooking much as my mother in law teaching me authentic polish cooking. I have updated to be healthy but still treasure and look Back on their recipes. I also passed these traditions onto my family. Love to see that delight we both share

Jessica, this has been my biggest gardening challenge of the past 25 years! I only have a small kitchen garden that can fit 20 to 25 tomato plants. Every year I struggle deciding which ones to plant. I’ve acquired quite a collection throughout the years. I’m also trying to only grow 20 plants this year and I am sitting right now with my seeds trying to decide which ones to plant! It’s both the most exciting time in the most frustrating time. I always think if only my garden was as big as Jessica’s! But I see the struggle never goes away!

2024 garden here it is! Wow it gave me shivers. It’s here! It’s here!

I read all of Kristin Hannah books, love her writing, she is a great writer

Love Kristin Hannah. Haven't cracked The Women yet, as it will suck me in and nothing will get done!

Wild at heart! Plant all the things! Makes my heart sing! And when it is time my taste buds too! Thanks for sharing! So, interesting that u are a part of our family. U r such a joy!

I love your joy in planting! So contagious.

Can relate! Feb. 15th has been my "lifeline day" for many years now, as well. While I still need to wait about 4-6wk to start tomatoes, today is the day I get to start the very first of our indoor seeds (onions, leeks, and celery). It's been so hard for me to hold off in past years that we actually started scheduling our winter vacation for the first week of February to keep me from jumping the gun and then regretting it. 😆

I should be starting seeds this week for a couple things, not tomatoes yet, but we're going out if town this weekend and I don't want to risk anything dying. I'll start as soon as we get back. I would love to grow EVERYTHING, but I can usually reign it in. 😅

Coffee mugs would be a great merch! I love having my coffee with you!

Yes Yes Yes for Kristin Hannah! Currently reading The Women, very powerful portrayal of nurses in Vietnam. Not for the faint of heart. Totally agree with The Nightingale and The Great Alone.

Love the Feb 15th light 🌞 Always feel like I'm emerging from the dark and starting seeds us the best way to celebrate 💕🌱💗

I cried reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah as well and I cried so hard because it really really reminded me of my Mom and I.

You should have a plant sale Jess! What a blessing it would be to your neighbors. I wish I were your neighbor lol :). I too am starting pepper and tomato seeds here in DFW. Happy growing everybody.

Yay !!!!!! It’s time 🤗 to start seeds

I like the phrase, “I have not yet really been able to work it into my schedule.”

I too have an obsession with purchasing seeds. Started gardening a couple of years ago and find it very fulfilling. I tell everyone it’s my happy place! Love your videos!

I don’t think you should hold back on growing tomatoes!!! I’m just like you & with much less space!!! In fact I can probably blame some of that on you since I’ve been watching you for so many years and I’ve gotten so many great recommendations through your videos👍Growing new and different tomatoes along with the favorites is irresistible!

I was in awe of the recreation of Julia Child’s kitchen at the National Museum of American History in DC. “Only the walls and floor were fabricated by the museum and the bananas and tomatoes are replicas. Everything else was Julia’s and was included in her donation to the museum in 2001.” National Museum of American History website You can walk around all four sides and see every detail of it. I could have spent hours just looking at that exhibit. That and seeing Mr Rogers actual sweater had a profound impact on me.

I knew your videos were different and giving a different vibe but I couldn't quite place why. it wasn't until you got better and the goofiness came back that I realize what was missing! I'm so glad you're doing well enough to be your bubbly goofy self again 🥰🥰🥰

Oh Jess, listening to you talk about tomatoes brings me such joy. You remind me of my Grandad who was a huge influence in my life and probably the reason I grow my own food. He too ‘lit up’ and almost salivated while talking about his beloved tomatoes. He passed away in 2004 but I get him back for a little bit when I hang out with you. God bless you and your passion for the garden xxx

I have started lots of flower seeds already 😬, they germinated fairly quickly. Hopefully I can keep them healthy to be able to plant in late March(cooler weather bloomers). Will be planting some herbs, tomatoes and peppers soon. I'm nervous about the flowers I've started, first year seed starting almost all my flowers.

Oh, that's so heartwarming! I am so glad you found the love of gardening, even at 59! It warms the soul, doesn't it?

Good Morning Ms. Jessica. I too start my babies on or around St. Valentines Day. My rose seeds are all started outside on the sunny side (south-east facing) of my house with a hose bib sprinkler timer. I usually find that my rose seedlings begin to pop out sometime around late March. Living here in Humboldt County California I find that protecting my seedlings from snails and slugs tends to be my biggest thorn in the flesh as these mollusks definitely are my nemeses. This year we are getting a lot of rain so keeping them wet doesn't seem to be a problem, so far. God bless your garden this year.

Heck yeah having your own wild boar farms section is so cool. And that fact that you acknowledge that is what makes you cool🫶🏼

I am in southeastern Nebraska and will be starting tomatoes and peppers first week of March. I decided to try winter sowing for the first time this year with several flowers, herbs, and broccoli. Lets hope for a very productive 2024 garden! Getting excited!

Definitely a wild one at heart too, the struggle is real

The coffee customer service is so wonderful. I can only imagine this will be the same great quality.

You just seem so joyful in this video. Bless your heart.

Hi Jess you’re amazing. I hope you’re having such a great week.

I have a similar system up here (on a MUCH smaller scale than you, Jess)! I start the baby plants in clear plastic storage tubs with two full spectrum shop lightssuspended in them and heat mats, then move them out to my very tiny, brand-new greenhouse when it gets a bit warmer in our Vermont landscape. It's a good way to go, I lose less plants this way. Years ago, my second husband and I had a short time of enjoying a sunporch that faced east, and it was so luxurious! I started my seeds out there, we ate breakfast and dinner out there, drank coffee out there, it was glorious. I have tried to brainstorm adding a sunporch on all of my residences since, haven't managed it yet. Jess, I had about 150 little tomatoes last year, gave them away, planted them in my flower beds, had them frosted and had to replant them all, and ultimately was really glad I had them all! I start them your way. I am a total wild gardener, even at almost 74, and I have no plan except that I will have a prolific garden this year, after last year's fiasco of flooding and silt. We also got a flood here in DECEMBER, which I haven't yet laid my eyes on the damage of that flood to my garden, due to all the snow, but it's OK. I will grow something lovely. And yummy. Maybe this is the year to contemplate raised beds. like seriously.... 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

In the beginning, I felt sad you had not been feeling so good. Then...your planting day perked you up and you looked so happy! It is just amazing how this project makes us so happy! Plant them all! We love to see you so happy!

Feb 15 is my husbands birthday! Here in central east coast of Florida I was supposed to start seeds in December and it ended up being in January. I start them on my screened patio on a 4ft table where they get the sun. I put them on heat mats this year as we get into the 40s on some nights. Now I am concerned I stunted my peppers. Second year ever gardening and I will be 51 in a month. You and your family along with Acre Homestead were 100% my inspiration to try. I 2020 to 2023 was a very traumatic couple of years, my dad dying, my health, the church we were in for 17 years left due to leadership corruption that shocked whole place, started counseling and gardening has helped so much. I have no space whatsoever but put three rows of pavers next to back garage that face east. Placed every large container I had, 5 gal grow bags from amazon, 1 elevated planter from wholesale store, and three Green Stalks later…. Thanks for wanting to be on you tube you probably have saved thousands of folks from their minds racing to stop and watch a video! I know you saved mine! This old gal who loves growing radishes truly thanks you!!!

I’m so excited you and your plans you have on your new property. Wish I had all that space to garden! 🙌🏻🙏🏻🌻❤️

Grandma relationships are soo beautiful, I have a picture of my late grandmother hoeing her garden as a young woman/ teen and I want to get out tattooed on myself one day.

I've blocked out an hour today to, um, 'finish' choosing my seeds & will start with tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, & spinach... maybe. I do have a difficult time but the constraints of my tiny 2 x 8 garden helps me decide. If I get too rambunctious with over-selectioning seeds, well, they will go into containers, lol! And yep, bloopers are so fun. 🙂Thanks Jess!

I’ve been starting tomatoes since 2/17 so about a week. They are already up and looking pretty. I started flowers,(geraniums, asters, and carnations) the first part of February. And some snapdragons also. I’m so excited for Spring!
