    Ruth Ann, your TH-cam channel has many qualities that "fancy" channels do not. I cannot tell you how grateful I am that you had the courage to step out and start your channel. You have Godly wisdom, you carry the joy of the Lord in your countenance, and you are not afraid to just be yourself! I have learned far more than I ever expected, and it's not the information I have gathered, it's the transformation that is taking place in my heart through your example. 🥰

      I find that a lot of the channels i watch start off as what i consider "normal, down to earth, wholesome" people, unfortunately they always change once they gain popularity and income from their channel and it becomes less relatable to me and i start to get bored with it. I would much prefer to watch videos from a channel like this, the "quality" doesn't bother me at all 😊

    "The Wisdom of Ruth Ann"! As a Traditional Naturopath, I've taught about parasites for over 40 years. It is not well received by some of my clients. They can understand that their pets may need de-worming but, they don't. The fact that they let the animal "kiss" them and they sleep with them, doesn't seem to make it to their "common sense" area that they too need to do something to rid their intestines of these parasites. Black Walnut is an excellent astringent and has been used by many older cultures in the spring to "cleanse". Thank you for talking about these "old world" health habits, I appreciate you!

      Love your gardening and planting analysis regardless of this current US and Canadian bureaucratic rules and zones being dictated . This is more for their climate obsession ideology than using your common sense and experience over the years. This control on planting and farming across the nation and countries is an attempt to stop those living off the land and maybe offering their produce rather than using controlled food supply monopolies. We need to resist and carry on relying on Superior guidance.

    Used to tell folks that transplanted from the north, if they plant some plants that they used to enjoy in the north might not be making it in the south, so don't get used to it, and sure enough, they'd burn up before long with that southern heat.
    Same with another person that tried to grow a banana plant here one time, because we weren't far enough south for that.
    Some folks just can't get their heads around that though, and think if they tend it enough it'll make it, but eventually it won't.

      Texas, north central area. We can get below zero, but usually in the low teens, but we can also get to 115 in August, September, with little to no rain. We do better with a fall garden, we get longer warm days and rain. I've lived here always, just a few brief times away. You need to listen to people who grew up in your area, and know it over the long haul.

    Ruth Ann CONGRATS on the new grandbaby! How wonderful and exciting! I wanted to tell you that your channel is awesome. You should never apologize for anything. You have a lot of knowledge to share and how lucky you are that you had a grandma and mom who taught you all the ways to be self sufficient. There is a podcaster called The Thriving Farmer Podcast. I have sent him your information! I hope he selects you to chat with! Also, I LOVE that you dont care what the USDA or FDA says! These are just two governmental agencies on a long list of governmental agencies that are captured often times make zero sense to human or animal needs!

    OMG!!! You're CORRECT Ruthann!!! People REFUSE to recognize that if, in fact, they are eating FOOD that is grown in dirt...yep, you too, can acquire infections (parasites). People also believe that refusing to talk about death, prevents that from happening too! Wonder how that's working out for them, since it's a known FACT, we ALL die!

    I was taught the same thing as you, my mother, my grandmother and I all used compounds to rid the body of parasites (we called them worms). We especially did this when we spent time on the farm with our children. Yes, we do catch them from the animals and from the soil. My grandmother used to overdo it with a dose every Sunday but Mum did it about every six months or so. Forget polish, we like real life and real people and you certainly are that. Congratulations on the birth of your grandchild, they bring so much joy.

Thanks, Ruth Ann, you are like my sister I no longer have here on earth. You serve a divine purpose here on TH-cam so thanks!
    As a “lazy” gardener, I am also experimenting with winter sowing this year. I am excited about it and I have already transplanted a couple of plants so far into the garden. I am in NW Georgia so we are not nearly as cold as you are. I hope you have good results and I look forward to hearing about your results.

We still plant the week after mothers day. Zone 8 here. Willamette Valley Oregon. Warm until late September.
