My husband and I knew that we were going to move, so we didn't plant the garden. But, the garden decided otherwise, we left our mobile home to a homeless family, and they have volunteer potatoes, tomatillos, butternut squash, and tomatoes. When they came up I told my husband to just let them grow, that someone would make use of them so he kept them weeded up until we loaded up and left.
I’m a rural San Diego gardener zone 10 and years ago my sweet Hubbs added market lights all across my garden so I could garden at night when the days are too hot. I LOVE night gardening. It’s so peaceful.
You made my wife's day today Jess! Thank you so much for the personal greeting video to my Wife Dawn, She was so disappointed when she couldn't attend the Idaho event. Thank you for the blessing❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
I was so excited to harvest my garlic today. I have about 150 bulbs. Making lots of garlic powder in two weeks. Some carrots, radishes, lettuce and onions get picked as we need it. I don’t think our tomatoes will be ready until mid August but they are looking good. The garden gives me such pleasure.
I’ve been watching you for YEARS and years and this is my favorite tour ever. THE MAGIC of that ripe maturing paradise in the anticipatory morning fog is palatable. I could almost smell it - and it seemed like time paused and held its breath through the entire vlog. Just wow.
Sunday morning. Hanging out with Jess and Watching Roots and Refuge’s garden tour while making food for our church pot luck today.. while drinking coffee from Beulah Roasting Co. Talk about a blessed morning! ☀️🫶🏽 Hope everyone else is feeling uplifted this morning!
When you mentioned the secret garden and wanting one of your own …. That is my dream too. I love your garden, your farm, the whole community that you have built on here and in real life. You are a true blessing. Thank you for sharing with us.❤
What perfect timing!! I had to force myself out of my own garden to get a break from the heat. And, now, I can sit inside and enjoy a visit with you in your garden instead, Jess! ☺️ As always, thanks so much for sharing it all with us! 💚
Rolly Polies! I grew up with them and when I moved up north they thought I was crazy when I mentioned them. I love them, in small numbers, they bring back wonderful childhood memories! Your garden is getting a warm cozy feeling to it!
Bear in mind that in 2018 you said the Silver Slicer was a cucumber you would always grow and I ordered a packet of them along with a few other things from Hudson Valley Deed, they arrived here in NC the week of July 4th. I planted them and they grew and I got cucumbers from them until the first frost! So plant a second round of our favorite cucumber and enjoy the BEST until frost. I am NC zone 7b so you should have plenty of time to enjoy them still!!!
@GlacialRidgeHomestead you will LOVE them. No need to peel them when picked at a nice size. If you miss one peel it, cut in half and scoop out the big seeds and enjoy, even then, they aren't bitter!!!!
I just bought this house December 2023 I started this garden small as I would call it, and in ground. Starting over here in northern Indiana I guess I forgot how much weeding it takes. I prayed today not knowing what to do moving forward cuz I need to expand it a lot to grow all my own food as possible and your site came to mind. I was very encouraged by the variety of ways that you are growing and God reminded me not to despise the Small beginnings and to begin imagining the progression ❤ thanks for always sharing 🙏
I'm so jealous girl! My tomatoes are just starting to flower. I miss planting in April when we lived in Oklahoma. Now we live in Northern Washington and are lucky to plant by June 1st. Watching channels like yours keep me sane when I can't plant.
Watching this and Denmark VS Germany simultaneously, is my kind of multitasking 😊 Sidenote/afterthought: A really foggy silent morning walk up the entire driveway. Like a slow tv thing, meditating calm. Like a little treat.
Your videos are a refuge for me. I don't have my homestead yet, still in the corporate world and tending to a small container garden but with big dreams of what's to come.
A beautiful garden!! So much work. I love watching your videos. I always tell my husband I’m going to visit with my friend when I watch your videos because that’s how it feels!
I love watching your material, Jess! You are so fun and have a great personality! You are so humble and helpful with all of your shared advices about gardening! Thank you very much! ❤️
I love basil...but dill is my absolute favorite! It's great in scrambled eggs, and I always put dill in my potato salad. Yum! I love how much you love your garden. I wish I could still do all of this, but it is what it is...God bless you and your family Jess.
Squeaky food!!! Yesssssss! Ok, so would you be interested in showing us a monthly "here's what I preserved this month" kind of highlight video to give us a real world here's-how-to-make-it-happen canning videos??? Pretty please 🙏 😁 It would help me wrap my mind around what it takes to have a pantry like you have 🥰😍 #goals
I love my yard long beans in a hot cast iron skillet with a little chicken fat and sliced garlic...and a dash of salt. Cook till you like them and mmm...hum. It's tasty stuffs. They produce SO dern fast too. My poor Maxibells are getting munched by someone who isn't me this year so it's yard long's to the rescue!
Hi Jess, What a dream garden yours is! I recently learned that 'allelopathic plants' such as Mexican sunflowers grown with your beans and tomatoes might inhibit your veggies growth. Sunflowers and even their shells dropped by birds can inhibit growth of other plants sunflowers send out chemicals from their roots, leaves and seeds. I love Mexican Sunflowers but was afraid to plant them this year due to their allelopathy. Fennel is also allelopathic and other plants as well.
From being owned by many kitties over the years and many vet visits with wounds. Cats have wounds from whatever but the wounds close up very quickly and they are prone to developing infections or abscesses very quickly. My Vet said to not put neosporin on the wound because it will cause the wound to close up too quickly.
YES... the Secret Garden was my jam! Love the enclosed magical feeling. I grow in Indiana and it takes a minute to get that vibe; especially with our weird weather patterns this year.
I loved meeting you today and getting home to a FULL tour was the cherry on top!!! Your second talk today was just what my heart needed to hear. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Just returned from the Idaho conference. Went with my gardening bestie and it was her first intro to Jess. She was blown away. It was so exiting to share someone so special with my dear friend. That Conference was fantastic!
Every gaden needs wood stumps/chairs throughout right? ;-) Our mini back yard opens up onto the street street behind us. I didn't think that I could start a garden in my back yard but man o man am I glad that I turned my waiting room into a classroom! I have a chair here & there so my mini garden becomes my misty morning secret garden & people can't stare at me when they walk or drive by. I'm planting holy basel for the 1st time this year. When we were visiting family last weekend we stoped at Mountain Rose Herb & I got some Holy tea... I forgot that it was boiling on the stove top lol I'm excited to see how it tastes & feels 😆 Every time you say hibiscus I think of Rosel hibiscus even though I grew up with regular hibiscus 🌺 😂 I've become a bit of a tea lover the last year or so. How do I ask to be invited over to sit in your garden & drink tea without sounding weird? 🤔 yea... too late... I've gotten weird... time to go back our to the garden so I can claim the heat as the reason that I'm weird. 🙃
Hey Jess, I get the squeaky beans, I feel that way about cheese curds! Taste great but you have to be aware of the squeaky experience! I think every year in the garden is a different experience! Weather, pest pressure and even my mood/health/ schedule will dictate the moments in the garden that I am just enjoying being in it! I am planning the fall garden and I am looking forward to it more than usual this year as it has been a strange Spring/summer so far this year! I hope that you can get the most out of your garden this season! I inter planted a lot more herbs and different tea plants this year so every day is different and exciting! Peace and blessings! 💖
I love listening to your abundance talk, Jessica. Your cheerfulness and knowledge of what you have growing is quite contagious. :) You have crab grass (that's the grass that sprawls out in a flat radius).
I love to see your garden! so much goodness! my garden is in a short coolish season so it's fun and different to see so much warm season crop abundance! your cottage garden is like a tropical garden and is supposed to be overgrown!!! Hey, where is Will lately?
Beautiful garden in the dreamy fog! Do you have a dwarf version of tithonia planted in your raised bed? When I grew my plants they got to 8 feet tall! Your in-ground garden is probably my favorite area. We have two orchard rows where I've planted flowers, squash, gourds culinary and medicinal herbs, and wilder edibles like Coyote and Everglades Cherry tomatoes, sculpit, rampion, sea kale etc. It's so fun to wander through the rows, and see what volunteers come up. This year we had tons of larkspur that had reseeded, and it was so lovely :)
I spy with my little eye a mug of tea near the little dahlias! I set my cup down all over the place and am constantly looking for it, inside and out. Haha! Glad I’m not the only one! :-)
I just got my first 20'x10'ft greenhouse delivered this week, Ive been gardening for years now so i feel confident in my abilities to keep things going during cold wisconsin winters❄️ and maybe one day ill be doing my own garden tours😊 thanks for posting yours, because this is what motivates me to keep doing what im doing!
I laughed out loud when you talked about wood chips. I’m hauling all my decomposed, full of weeds, wood chips turned dirt out as I’m listening to TH-cam videos! It’s currently 89f with a real feel of 95f at my house in Utah. I come out and work until I can’t stand it and then go inside and cool off. I’ve been at it since early this morning.
Thanks making this Jess im laying in bed in my small apartment its morning and I'm dreaming of the day I can have my own garden like this and I can go out in the morning for a nice walk around to check on everything❤
In dry Australia, we water of evening as it gives the plant time to absorb the water before sun up to evaporate. I find the vegie patch thrives in the heat water it nightly rather than having wet feet in the extreme heat, cooking the roots while having wet feet .
This makes sense to me! I've been doing a lot of research - should I water morning or night? So much conflicting info out there that I'm not sure, but I like the way you explained that!
That’s nice to know about the stressed tomatoes- we had 6-7” of rain in 3 days and extremely hot weather right after, and about 8 of my 50 tomatoes plants were over 50% wilty! I was worried about disease, but it never spread and they have slowly perked up. Most of the bad plants are now only 25% wilted. I plan to replace the last three that still haven’t perked back up, only because a friend shared some of her nice greenhouse plants with me. It’s my first heirloom-only garden, and I’m wondering if they are more susceptible. My MIL’s non-heirloom tomatoes grown only 20 mins away never had wilt.
Chiffonade, is what you described when you talked about rolling up and slicing the nasturtiums leaves into ribbons. I love that word, and I do that a lot with my basils too when doing salads, it gives a really nice, different texture without getting that heavy bite of flavor. :) Garden is looking so lovely, Jess, and all that low fog in the distance was just lovely.
Have needed some motivation to get back into the garden after a difficult growing year in the UK - feels great to have you for company! Was surprisingly productive after your last few vids, thank you for the inspiration, as always 💚
It's been terrible here in the UK! How can it be simultaneously too hot and dry but also too wet and cold ?! For everything! Jess definitely helps keep spirits up though!
@Sky-Child one of the best gardeners I know has said that this year is one of the worst she's ever known for growing veg, and Jess also said her garden seems slow... I think it may just be one of those years
It’s a weird garden year clear over in Idaho too. Was cool for a long time then suddenness days of High heat. Hope this means a long nice growing fall weather💚
Wow in the evening that hot. It is amaizing this weather changes. We are in winter here in Oz and today was 26°C sunny. I can not belive it. The other day I have harvested strawberries😮. Pumkins are growing. So Jess you have some you don't plan wait until winter. I am sure your climat is changing too. Love your garden. Hardly can wait for the full blown season garden tour. Thank you getting up early so you can make this video.🎉🫂
Foggy is a good look on your garden! And I love the shade clothe structure. Thanks for really emphasizing cozy spaces and “rooms” in the garden. Thank you so much for coming out to us in the PNW for the Modern Homesteading conference. All of your presentations were lovely. Very excited to get back to my own garden. Hope your weather back home gives you a nice warm hug after Idaho 😂
In Va, just ordered my fall crop seeds. This week its time for the bean seeds, squash, garden greens ( kale, mustard, collards). In 2 weeks will do another batch. Our tomatoes seem to be behind too this year
My garden has been an absolute disaster this year with my health being so poor while pregnant. I just keep remembering that there is always next year. I will need to recruit help in order to get it ready for fall though!
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful property with us and what you’re growing you always come up with something wonderful to share every week my dear friend I love watching your videos and feeling the love that you sent out to all of us. Thanks so much my sweet friend for another great video
😊❤Thank you Jess for sharing your garden I love seeing it grow I love seeing you provide food for your family and I'm kind of jealous because I'm having trouble this year😢 the heat has been terrible Here in Michigan!! 🤗 Also some exciting news I had my first tomato sandwich summer is finally here when you take a bite of deliciousness 😋🤤!! I hope you get your soon❤
Thank you so much for bringing to my attention of trying to make it. Where are you? Have a little bit of cover to keep things cool. I live in Southern California. My garden just totally dies when it becomes summertime. It’s just too hot. I can grow stuff all winter long, but all the summers are hot here too.
Blessings are always welcome for sure. Loved the garden tour, 100 degrees deserves plenty of thanks since we take you from your work. All the best to you and yours.
Jess your garden is beautiful & bountiful❣️Always love to see how you use & preserve your bounty!! I just bought a Freeze dryer so looking for peoples favorite herb seasoning recipes
What a gorgeous morning, sitting here munching on volunteer cherry tomatoes & wishing for your fog. Your gardens look wonderful, I just finished hanging the last of the garlic up. Doing a lot of herb picking now. Geez u wouldn’t believe what the grasshoppers did to my potatoes. They’re just sticks now. Looks so funny. Oh well time to dig the potatoes I guess. Since this heat hit I’m lazy🫠
I purchased spoon tomatoes this year from Baker’s Creek, having never heard of them. I have a couple growing in a large pot on the edge of my garden bed. They are doing so well here in coastal NC. I love tomato products, like salsa and sauces, but I don’t like to eat raw tomatoes. However, I ADORE tiny things, so when I saw them, I knew I had to grow them simply for the joy of them. And joy they have indeed brought me.
My husband and I knew that we were going to move, so we didn't plant the garden. But, the garden decided otherwise, we left our mobile home to a homeless family, and they have volunteer potatoes, tomatillos, butternut squash, and tomatoes. When they came up I told my husband to just let them grow, that someone would make use of them so he kept them weeded up until we loaded up and left.
What a blessing!
Comment of the year! This is what it means to be a follower of The I Am!❤
BLESSINGS
Such a sweet blessing ❤
@@Dee-MuckGirlGardeneryour comment gives me chills
I’m a rural San Diego gardener zone 10 and years ago my sweet Hubbs added market lights all across my garden so I could garden at night when the days are too hot. I LOVE night gardening. It’s so peaceful.
That’s a great idea. I’m in zone 4 but any sunny day over 80 is rough here so post sundown watering would be so nice!
You made my wife's day today Jess!
Thank you so much for the personal greeting video to my Wife Dawn, She was so disappointed when she couldn't attend the Idaho event. Thank you for the blessing❤❤❤❤🎉🎉
“It’s like a little surprise party I hold for myself!” 😂
I was so excited to harvest my garlic today. I have about 150 bulbs. Making lots of garlic powder in two weeks. Some carrots, radishes, lettuce and onions get picked as we need it.

Sunday morning. Hanging out with Jess and Watching Roots and Refuge’s garden tour while making food for our church pot luck today.. while drinking coffee from Beulah Roasting Co. Talk about a blessed morning! ☀️🫶🏽
Hope everyone else is feeling uplifted this morning!
I call thick fog like that "Jurassic Park weather" 😂 can just imagine the dinosaurs rising up out of the fog.
My partner calls it "a pea souper"
When my oldest son was little, it was "froggy"!😆
I really miss these garden tours, keep watching them over and over!
What a fantastic garden. Those of us like me who grow a small number of veg and herbs enjoy the exuberance of your garden.
Sitting down with a bowl of pasta & pesto made from my back-step container garden. ☺️
When you mentioned the secret garden and wanting one of your own …. That is my dream too. I love your garden, your farm, the whole community that you have built on here and in real life. You are a true blessing. Thank you for sharing with us.❤
I’ve never been so early. As soon as I see Roots and Refuge drop a garden tour, I click! Love your videos 💚
What perfect timing!! I had to force myself out of my own garden to get a break from the heat. And, now, I can sit inside and enjoy a visit with you in your garden instead, Jess! ☺️ As always, thanks so much for sharing it all with us! 💚
I’m jealous of you Southern ladies whose gardens are so far along! 😂. It’s just now starting to warm up here in North Idaho
1:30 Mug in the wild!
The appearance of curved berms where your local heirlooms are planted is absolutely stunning! 😍💚
Rolly Polies! I grew up with them and when I moved up north they thought I was crazy when I mentioned them. I love them, in small numbers, they bring back wonderful childhood memories! Your garden is getting a warm cozy feeling to it!
Bear in mind that in 2018 you said the Silver Slicer was a cucumber you would always grow and I ordered a packet of them along with a few other things from Hudson Valley Deed, they arrived here in NC the week of July 4th.

I just planted those this year. ❤
@GlacialRidgeHomestead you will LOVE them. No need to peel them when picked at a nice size. If you miss one peel it, cut in half and scoop out the big seeds and enjoy, even then, they aren't bitter!!!!

Watching this and Denmark VS Germany simultaneously, is my kind of multitasking 😊
Sidenote/afterthought:
A really foggy silent morning walk up the entire driveway. Like a slow tv thing, meditating calm. Like a little treat.
Is this your first fully foggy garden tour? I feel like it is!!! 💚🌱🌱🌱
Your videos are a refuge for me. I don't have my homestead yet, still in the corporate world and tending to a small container garden but with big dreams of what's to come.
I love hearing the rooster in the background
A beautiful garden!! So much work.
I love watching your videos.
I always tell my husband I’m going to visit with my friend when I watch your videos because that’s how it feels!
put sand around seedlings for roll poles and slugs
I love watching your material, Jess!
You are so fun and have a great personality!
You are so humble and helpful with all of your shared advices about gardening!
Thank you very much!

I wonder if you could blend those melons and make ice cubes for cucumber water?
Yes!!! The Secret Garden! What a great movie & garden. Goals!
I appreciate you going out so early today to give us a garden update! I bless you Jess 🙏
I love my yard long beans in a hot cast iron skillet with a little chicken fat and sliced garlic...and a dash of salt.
Cook till you like them and mmm...hum. It's tasty stuffs. They produce SO dern fast too. My poor Maxibells are getting munched by someone who isn't me this year so it's yard long's to the rescue!
Maybe next season have the ground cherries at the south ends of the beds where they'll be the most exposed.
Today is my tuck in day. I have to tuck chickens in and a set. Ready to rest. ❤
Those propagated basil that don’t go to seed would be a great item to sell at your farmers market. 👍
Hi Jess, What a dream garden yours is! I recently learned that 'allelopathic plants' such as Mexican sunflowers grown with your beans and tomatoes might inhibit your veggies growth. Sunflowers and even their shells dropped by birds can inhibit growth of other plants sunflowers send out chemicals from their roots, leaves and seeds. I love Mexican Sunflowers but was afraid to plant them this year due to their allelopathy. Fennel is also allelopathic and other plants as well.
From being owned by many kitties over the years and many vet visits with wounds.
Cats have wounds from whatever but the wounds close up very quickly and they are prone to developing infections or abscesses very quickly. My Vet said to not put neosporin on the wound because it will cause the wound to close up too quickly.
Going on my 5th year of my roots and refuge inspired garden! Love your videos
Wow! The foliage on your plants in the pepper high tunnel is such a rich dark green!
YES... the Secret Garden was my jam! Love the enclosed magical feeling. I grow in Indiana and it takes a minute to get that vibe; especially with our weird weather patterns this year.
I loved meeting you today and getting home to a FULL tour was the cherry on top!!! Your second talk today was just what my heart needed to hear. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Just returned from the Idaho conference. Went with my gardening bestie and it was her first intro to Jess. She was blown away. It was so exiting to share someone so special with my dear friend. That Conference was fantastic!
Every gaden needs wood stumps/chairs throughout right? ;-) Our mini back yard opens up onto the street street behind us. I didn't think that I could start a garden in my back yard but man o man am I glad that I turned my waiting room into a classroom! I have a chair here & there so my mini garden becomes my misty morning secret garden & people can't stare at me when they walk or drive by. I'm planting holy basel for the 1st time this year.

Hey Jess, I get the squeaky beans, I feel that way about cheese curds! Taste great but you have to be aware of the squeaky experience! I think every year in the garden is a different experience! Weather, pest pressure and even my mood/health/ schedule will dictate the moments in the garden that I am just enjoying being in it! I am planning the fall garden and I am looking forward to it more than usual this year as it has been a strange Spring/summer so far this year! I hope that you can get the most out of your garden this season! I inter planted a lot more herbs and different tea plants this year so every day is different and exciting! Peace and blessings! 💖
Jess, it was so funny when you were in the garden and in the background Whit was trying to get your attention. He’s so sweet!!
We have spoon tomatoes in Scotland. They are little pops of joy but the plants are indestructible!! Love them.
Yessss love little hidden places in my garden! Thanks for another beautiful tour Jess! We love you 💚
I love listening to your abundance talk, Jessica. Your cheerfulness and knowledge of what you have growing is quite contagious. :) You have crab grass (that's the grass that sprawls out in a flat radius).
I couldn't do the gardening in the heat anymore...I'm old 😂 but I love your garden. 😊God bless
I love to see your garden! so much goodness! my garden is in a short coolish season so it's fun and different to see so much warm season crop abundance! your cottage garden is like a tropical garden and is supposed to be overgrown!!! Hey, where is Will lately?
With how my gardening season is going it looks like I’m gonna need to come fly to you to get some berries Crazy cherries 😂. 37:03
❤ I never grow enough basil - so versatile! I make tea bags with basil for winter tea when I can’t do fresh. 😊
You’ve got the most beautiful gardens ever❤
Oh just leave me in the cottage garden Heaven on heart ❤️
Beautiful garden in the dreamy fog! Do you have a dwarf version of tithonia planted in your raised bed? When I grew my plants they got to 8 feet tall! Your in-ground garden is probably my favorite area. We have two orchard rows where I've planted flowers, squash, gourds culinary and medicinal herbs, and wilder edibles like Coyote and Everglades Cherry tomatoes, sculpit, rampion, sea kale etc. It's so fun to wander through the rows, and see what volunteers come up. This year we had tons of larkspur that had reseeded, and it was so lovely :)
So LUSH!!! Loving watching what you’re doing with it all over at the farmers table!
I know you love old movies and if you haven't seen Brigadoon you should watch it, amazing musical and the fog is reminding me of that movie ❤
I spy with my little eye a mug of tea near the little dahlias! I set my cup down all over the place and am constantly looking for it, inside and out. Haha! Glad I’m not the only one! :-)
I just got my first 20'x10'ft greenhouse delivered this week, Ive been gardening for years now so i feel confident in my abilities to keep things going during cold wisconsin winters❄️ and maybe one day ill be doing my own garden tours😊 thanks for posting yours, because this is what motivates me to keep doing what im doing!
That lettuce leaf basil 🌱💚😍 I would make a sandwich with tomato, mozzarella and this basil and maybe add chicken and/ or bacon Yum 🤤
I laughed out loud when you talked about wood chips. I’m hauling all my decomposed, full of weeds, wood chips turned dirt out as I’m listening to TH-cam videos!

Corn meal sprinkled along the edges of the bed should take care of most pests as well as beer traps here and there.
Thanks making this Jess im laying in bed in my small apartment its morning and I'm dreaming of the day I can have my own garden like this and I can go out in the morning for a nice walk around to check on everything❤
The way I squealed like a little kid when I saw this video pop up on my feed! 😂🤗

'I went to a garden party..." Reminds me of a song.....
Because of you, I let a lot of volunteers grow. I still get Mexican sour gerkins and ground cherries every year ❤️
We have juiced armenian cukes before and they are so good as a cucumber lemonade.
Perfect video to watch on a Saturday! ❤
Have needed some motivation to get back into the garden after a difficult growing year in the UK - feels great to have you for company! Was surprisingly productive after your last few vids, thank you for the inspiration, as always 💚
It's been terrible here in the UK! How can it be simultaneously too hot and dry but also too wet and cold ?! For everything!
Jess definitely helps keep spirits up though!
@Sky-Child one of the best gardeners I know has said that this year is one of the worst she's ever known for growing veg, and Jess also said her garden seems slow... I think it may just be one of those years
Thanks Jess been following you since your move,Your garden is gorgeous 🇨🇦🙏🐝🤗
Your garden is my dream garden.
What a wonderful oasis. You guys have done such a beautiful job ❤
You talking about your big garden table makes me sing “Crowded Table” by the Highwomen in my head. 💗 🎶
Haha. Spotted a coffee mug in the flower bed in the greenhouse!!
It’s a weird garden year clear over in Idaho too. Was cool for a long time then suddenness days of High heat. Hope this means a long nice growing fall weather💚
What an amazing place to live and grow!
Wow in the evening that hot. It is amaizing this weather changes. We are in winter here in Oz and today was 26°C sunny. I can not belive it. The other day I have harvested strawberries😮. Pumkins are growing. So Jess you have some you don't plan wait until winter. I am sure your climat is changing too. Love your garden. Hardly can wait for the full blown season garden tour. Thank you getting up early so you can make this video.🎉🫂
Garden tour hooray 🎉🎉
I recently hosted a garden tea devotional time with a group of women from my church and it was wonderful!! Highly recommend!
I just found a spoon tomato that popped up. I thought I had caught them in time last year to not self seed 😂
Jess could please explain the differences between beans? Which variety are for shelling and or fresh eating?
I love your videos and your bird tattoos ❤
Foggy is a good look on your garden! And I love the shade clothe structure. Thanks for really emphasizing cozy spaces and “rooms” in the garden.
Thank you so much for coming out to us in the PNW for the Modern Homesteading conference. All of your presentations were lovely. Very excited to get back to my own garden. Hope your weather back home gives you a nice warm hug after Idaho 😂
In Va, just ordered my fall crop seeds. This week its time for the bean seeds, squash, garden greens ( kale, mustard, collards). In 2 weeks will do another batch. Our tomatoes seem to be behind too this year
My garden has been an absolute disaster this year with my health being so poor while pregnant. I just keep remembering that there is always next year. I will need to recruit help in order to get it ready for fall though!
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful property with us and what you’re growing you always come up with something wonderful to share every week my dear friend I love watching your videos and feeling the love that you sent out to all of us. Thanks so much my sweet friend for another great video
😊❤Thank you Jess for sharing your garden I love seeing it grow I love seeing you provide food for your family and I'm kind of jealous because I'm having trouble this year😢 the heat has been terrible Here in Michigan!! 🤗 Also some exciting news I had my first tomato sandwich summer is finally here when you take a bite of deliciousness 😋🤤!! I hope you get your soon❤
Thank you so much for bringing to my attention of trying to make it. Where are you? Have a little bit of cover to keep things cool. I live in Southern California. My garden just totally dies when it becomes summertime. It’s just too hot. I can grow stuff all winter long, but all the summers are hot here too.
You brought back that west coast dryness 😂
It’s really lovely this year Jess! 👏 👏 👏
Listening intently to how rough dry weather is while living in Colorado….dry is a way of life here!
I also dream of having a garden party in my garden this year!!!❤️🌱
Blessings are always welcome for sure. Loved the garden tour, 100 degrees deserves plenty of thanks since we take you from your work. All the best to you and yours.
Jess your garden is beautiful & bountiful❣️Always love to see how you use & preserve your bounty!! I just bought a Freeze dryer so looking for peoples favorite herb seasoning recipes
What a gorgeous morning, sitting here munching on volunteer cherry tomatoes & wishing for your fog. Your gardens look wonderful, I just finished hanging the last of the garlic up. Doing a lot of herb picking now. Geez u wouldn’t believe what the grasshoppers did to my potatoes. They’re just sticks now. Looks so funny. Oh well time to dig the potatoes I guess. Since this heat hit I’m lazy🫠
I purchased spoon tomatoes this year from Baker’s Creek, having never heard of them. I have a couple growing in a large pot on the edge of my garden bed. They are doing so well here in coastal NC. I love tomato products, like salsa and sauces, but I don’t like to eat raw tomatoes. However, I ADORE tiny things, so when I saw them, I knew I had to grow them simply for the joy of them. And joy they have indeed brought me.
