I love your attitude on not giving up when things do not grow well. I feel the same about gardening. I changed my "call name" on here from keep trying to the current one. I still keep trying. However, during the process, I have also learned to give myself "grace in the garden." The time I spend gardening coexist with my alone time with God. Thank you for sharing. May God continue to bless and keep you and yours.
How I agree with you. 75 yrs old here. My knee hurts but I keep weeding and trying. Agree that God is in control no matter what is going on in the news. My husband is not able to help me in the yard but he helps by bringing me things. Really appreciate your video.
@@marilynmarilynohearn476 OK, I’m in between you two at nearly 74. Totally healthy and vibrant-health, EXCEPT for the KNEES!😭 But I continue on. Last week I got a nine week old Boxer puppy who already has proven beneficial to my health by requiring a few extra daily trips to walk to the back fence of my 1/4 acre. She’ll be great company as I slowly get into this season’s gardening activity. Have just bounced back from an actual left knee “injury” (stepped wrong and twisted a ligament I guess!) but now the “Rithous-Brothers” have returned to both knees and slows me down but will not let them stop me.😁 Puppy “Bella” will keep me motivated and moving.
I absolutely loved hearing about your life in Colorado and how you found your home in Tennessee and James. I love English gardens on TH-cam too somehow their gardens just appeal to me more. And I have been watching P Allen Smith for many years on TV probably since his first show. His garden's now are way beyond what the average person grows but I like him as a person and have watched his garden show grow over the years and I enjoy his show. I love your TH-cam channel because the setting is beautiful in Tennessee and you have so many small gardens all over tucked here and there. I love hearing the hens or geese during your show and am thrilled when one walks into view as you are gardening. Also you make tea I have loved tea pots since I was a child I had a beautiful collection of tea pots before having to live in a nursing home I hope everyone that has my tea pots loves them as much as I did. Your video's are beautiful every one of them your voice is soft and relaxes me in fact it is 3:00 a.m. and I am watching your video because I was watching it last night and your voice put me into a restful sleep so I just woke up and your video was on my phone so I am enjoying it now. And thank you for your channel so many watch that are shut in and no longer have a garden and your video's are a moment to dream and see the beauty of plants growing and the splendor of your flowers so from our hearts thank you it means a lot to us. ❤️
Thank you Virginia, I am so glad I can bring a touch of the country garden into your life! I will be talking about tea sets and collections in part 2 of this series, coming up later today. I think you will enjoy it! I am sure that whoever has your tea pots loves them as you once did, maybe they are pouring tea right now!
You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your love of God. My husband said, "I like watching her videos with you. She isn't fake." I too, had trouble growing poppies, snapdragons and ranunculus last year. Poppies never even made an appearance. The snapdragons were spindly and the ranunculus grew to a few inches. But, I get the garden fever every Spring and try, try again. Happy Spring !!
Thankyou SO much for sharing your heart tonight…it was ministry to me personally…and an encouragement… it was precious to me to know that you love Almighty God and spend time in His Word! You are a true-blue woman of God…beautiful inside and outside! I appreciate that you are so honest and open to share the good things and the difficult ones too…you are genuinely down home for real…I love and appreciate you as an extra special person…Almighty God bless you SO immeasurably…and please keep the love of Jesus Christ shining through you! The world around us is getting darker every day…so we want to be that light from Jesus to those that need to find Him before it is too late! Katherine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And Thankyou for respecting and honouring your husband James like you do…
Roasted radishes tossed with oil, salt and pepper is pretty good. I like alot of my vegetables roasted that way. I grew breakfast radishes one year and found them to be so beautiful! They were long and thin and so much fun to pull out of the ground.
I'll second that roasted radishes are great! I also love them fried: grated or diced and fried like hash brown potatoes, or cut in chunks and fried like home fries or pan fries. If you grow the daikons that get large enough you can even cut them like French fries and deep fry them. The typical spiciness of radishes is greatly diminished when you cook them--so even my hubby, who is not a fan of radishes (calls them dirt apples) really loves fried or roasted radishes and even my grandkids like them. Radishes are low glycemic, low carb, so they're a great option for diabetics or those on a low carb diet. The same is mostly true for Turnips.
A good British gardener is Carol Kevin. First her voice is calming like yours . She is very well knowledgeable. I like how she will plant in a container show you how to mix different plants together. She has several different types of environment in her yard like marsh, woodland, full sun…. You two are very similar in many ways. But you are more laid back and willing to share many of your different loves. Don’t know if she does that. I think hers is a TV show that ppl have made copies of. Not sure how that works bc I couldn’t find her TH-cam channel. I enjoy turn you on to get me motivated to get back into gardening. Life can be so hard on your own no one to talk gardening with or plan the day. You fill that push to keep going with gardening thank you. 😊 💐
I am so grateful for you just being Jeri!!! You do a terrific job at these videos!! Thank you for honoring my wish that you share you books!!! I enjoyed that part and all of your gardening!!!! You are one of my favorite youtubers!!! You cheer me up after a long day of teaching kids!!! You are such a bright spot!!!
Yum… Roasted Radishes!!! Sadly, I don’t care for the “bite” in fresh radishes, but roasted alone or with other veggies… SO good! (Taste similar to a roasted potato)
Amen! God is in control. Nothing that is happening is a surprise to Him, and He will bring all thing right in his time. Maranatha! 🥰 Another great video. Love your style ❤
God is sovereign. I’m so thankful you love His Word. Thanks for the pep talk. As I get older, I need to be encouraged to keep going despite the aches and pains. I would love to hear some of James’ writings.
Jeri, we are the same age! I, too, enjoy studying the Bible and spend the morning in prayer and study. I had to laugh when you said herbs are easy! I kill them so quickly! Our sun here is so strong in the summer that they would dry out so I tried bringing them indoors. They never last past the summer.😢
Gosh, Jeri…you sound just like me! (would you happen to be a Gemini?) Crazy, I too went door to door selling seeds when I was young! (I’m 69, as well!) I lived in Rutherford County for 8 yrs, in HendersonvilleTN for 3, loved the history & all the craft shops back in the 80’s, I paint, garden, sew, do all kinds of needlework, “had” an interest in aquariums from saltwater to fresh water, (I got too old to do the constant water changes), am very diligent & determined once my mind is set on something, have lots of interests & love being around people who intrigue me. You are one of them! So glad I found you. I love your fences with the rabbit cut outs, that you built your own greenhouse (I’ve only built a chicken coop) love your teas with a good old fashioned recipe, the dishes, the stories. Such a pleasure to follow you. Hugs from middle GA
You have really inspired me and I am going back to watch all of your videos. I would like to think I had one of those beautifully gardened houses admired by children waiting for the bus at our corner. Hopefully at least one child catches the gardening bug. It seems the younger set are just not into gardening. I was inspired as a child by a house I remembered to be a secret garden. It sat way back and up the hill from the street street. I gardened the yard of our Victorian farm house we rescued in 1990. We totally remodeled/restored it and many people walking by and admired the garden. Flower gardening was my passion as was my English artist mom’s. The soil was fabulous even when we first bought it. I miss it still. We moved to a wreck of home we finished redoing from 2008 to 2019. I am not as young as when I did the other garden and I had 30 years and a job to pay for it all but once a gardener, always a gardener. Now I am creating the garden that will take me into my old age and vegetable gardening too. 🌷
God Bless You Jeri & ,Your husband & ALL you two put you hands, heart & strength in. Love your Godly Wisdom. Thank You for sharing all your talents( gifts) with us. 🙌 😌🙏💐
I just gained an allotment and spent the day putting up a tiny shed. I hope to grow some beautiful flowers just like you’ve done in the past. Thanks for giving up some of your time to share tips and answer questions for people- it’s very kind! Have a lovely week 🌼🌸🌼🌸
That’s so satisfying to plant seeds and see the life emerges from our hands 😌 Divine forces above gave us that power and that’s such a gift !!!!! 🙏 if only more people could understood and realize how much peace and pleasure they could gained that simply way instead of destroy . I miss so much a garden, but my little terrace is full of green life and that’s ok 🤗🤗🤗🍀🪴🪴🪴🪴. I look forward to see the lovely plants and flowers you’ll get soon . Hugs from Bordeaux
When we bought the house we live in now in the country there was a large rose bed which was completely overcome with quack grass. I battled it for 6 years then dug up all the roses and moved them elsewhere and put raised beds where the rose bed was!
Great to her about your faith. I realized when I was reading Samual today, I didn’t know what an ephod was,but with so much info available, the answer was at my fingertips. The plant I’ve been persistent with is a lemon bush. I would be crest fallen when the mini lemons would all fall off, or sometimes, I wouldn’t even get the mini lemons. I discovered chelated iron. Then I took a paint brush and pollinated the lemon flowers. My plant is about 2’x1’. I harvested 8 lemons from that small bush! 🍋
Thanks so much for this info. I’ve had the same problem and especially that my lemons are tiny, tiny. I also need to figure out how to make them grow larger.🍋
Your enthusiasm is contagious,Jeri. Thank you so much for another great video! Happy spring! P.S. I just love how your garden book pages are covered in dirt!
I am still watching this video & enjoying it. When you mentioned living in Colorado as a kid & you & your siblings digging up cactus & planting. I truly related to this. My dad was in the army & when i was a kid, Dad was stationed at Fort Carson & we lived in a new subdivision & next to it was the field as we called it & my 2 younger brothers would go to the field & catch lizards & skinks & dig up cacti for my momma. You could look down our street and see Pikes Peak in the distance. Then my momma had another baby & us 3 kids was so excited & when my new brother was 3 months old, my brother that was almost 2 yrs younger than i was hit by a car & was in a coma about 48 hrs before he passed away. But I still remember how the boys would catch lizards & skinks and have lizard races. I also remember my momma planting batchlor button seeds when we lived in colorado springs.
I know Colorado Springs well! Garden of the Gods/ Red Rocks... we spent many summers visiting those places. We used to catch lizards too, what fun we had.
Jerri im the same way i just go go go all the time. Its been so nice today here in ky ive been working in mt yard all day. My nieghbor is in her mid 80s and she loves working in her yard too still wants to mow her grass all summer long. So glad you are not giving up and will continue to garden! Thanks for all the inspiration you give us. Can't wait to see your gardens this year! God is so good! Someone once said no one can be closer to God than in a garden and its so true. Nature his creations. As a gay man the world wants to scare people like us away from him but i never let them get to me. God has a plan for everyone hes in control hes my creator and savior. As the world gets more evil and crazy everyday i just remember Joshua 1:9! Take care friend enjoyed this video!
Your comment about your 80 yr old neighbor reminds me of a little old woman who lived around here, she had to be at least 90yrs. Every week she would put on her old fashioned bonnet and an apron and climb aboard her RIDING Lawnmower and drive it around her very small lawn. It seemed like such an incongruity between her appearance and her MACHINE. I loved to see her! Yes, God is in charge and it is very comforting.
I believe Charles Dowding would tell you that a layer of cardboard under a 4 inch layer of compost would be the best way to deal with that couch grass/bindweed/quack grass. Each year you will only need to add 1 inch of compost to the beds. I’m glad you follow him, too.
This row that is filled with the grass had 3 layers of cardboard on top of it. The stuff travels to the edge of the cardboard , hits the light and bursts forth. I'm putting in raised beds, about 12 inches, laying the cardboard and then piling the compost and materials on top of that. the beds will then be surrounded by layers of stone. I hope that will end the monsters reign.
That's great advice about growing zinnias! I agree they are the easiest flowers to grow, even easier than cosmos. I have problems with crabgrass which I think is similar. If you like lavender and leeks you'd enjoy homegrown garden (with a period in the middle. TH-cam keeps thinking her name is a web page and censors me)...she has an allotment and loves wildlife like you.
Such a great video…our stories of how we each got started in Tennessee are very similar ! And I loved spending time in your greenhouse in this video,planting,looking at herb books ,learning about herbs 🪴 loving God and answering questions about your life in general! I can’t wait for the part 2 of this Q & A! Have a blessed week ❤
I, too, have the "quack grass" problem and the only way I can mitigate it is by putting down black weed barrier and cutting holes for my squash plants. It also prevents the sinister squash beetle from wiping out the whole crop. I once pulled up a quack grass root that was the length of the garden, 40', and a sharpie in width! Downright scary! Good luck!
I've never done it but I've heard of people slicing radishes and frying them. Might try it. What keeps a person going is spending time with God spending time being creative and learning new things. ❤
I love your videos. You're such an inspiration! My paternal grandmother lived to be 98 and was physically active and strong until the end. She had the most beautiful soil of any garden I've ever seen and she packed it full of plants. She ate "weird" things like roasted pumpkins and canned jars and jars of food. I'm grateful for her example. 🥰❤🥰
Thank you so much for for sharing Jeri. I have a lot of your passions and loves, including the Word and history, as well as art and gardening. I have James’s love of writing and reading. I like how you follow those specific passions, without letting whatever is the latest fad encroach on what you love. Thanks for sharing about keeping going. I needed that!💚🌷💚
. I like to stay focused on the old atmosphere surrounding the house and buildings, some trends seem tempting, but they usually are not a good fit for us here in the Hollow.
Hello ,always love your videos, I think you're such an amazing woman, So happy that you talked about God, God and Christ are my everything, of course my family. I'm 3 years older than you , I love everything you talked about in this video, I too have a wonderful friend she is 92 years and she is amazing, I love being with her, She has taught me so many things about gardening And she is interested in everything. Thank you so much for this video
I love all your video's. You have taught me so much. Thank you for sharing all your talent. I enjoy so much of the same things you like. I love heirloom roses, flowers, gardening, Peter Rabbit, I raise and breed rabbits for show, and Beatrix Potter and cant forget Tea. I drink Harney and son because I love the tins. I love to read. May God Bless you.
yes its amazing. I now have English lops they are the ones with the really long ears. I breed them and donate them to the kids in 4H who cant afford a good quality pedigree rabbit.
Love it that you encourage new gardeners to buy a rose! They are so many wonderful ones on the market today - that are not only beautiful in the garden but last and last in a vase! I’ve found room for about 150 in my garden! 🌹Wonderful video!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow How exciting. Wish I could see your list of roses. We may have many of the same ones although I'm in Zone 5b. You can see a few of mine on my youtube channel.
Jerry, you are awesome, thanks for showing me how to start planting seeds. I'm from California and only had concrete around me . Now I'm in West Virginia in the country and have a yard with grass. You inspire me to start gardening. Love ya
Thank you so much for sharing your failures and things you forgot. I so much enjoy seeing your beautiful garden, it's inspiring, but it's also comforting to know that sometimes things don't work out. Because I have experienced plenty of that as well. Thanks for the encouragement!
I love your videos so much! Even watching you plant in seed trays because the monologue is so rich with information and warm wonderful stories! Also I couldn’t resist pulling out the seed catalogs next to my chair as I watched you. 😂. Thank you for your videos!
Living on Long Island, NY ever since I was a little girl - now age 76 years- sweet peas grow by themselves each year, no care to them, only rain water or water from garden hose. Another beautiful flower that comes back every year is Morning Glory, but even being beautiful it is evasive.
I really enjoyed this chat. Thank you! Is that grass also called Bermuda Grass? That's what most ppl plant for their yards here in the Texas panhandle. I choose to call it a weed and it is awful to keep out of anything! I have found a product called "Over The Top". It kills grass but doesn't kill or even harm my flowers. I don't use it with my veggies because I try to keep them free if pesticides or anything that isn't natural. This stuff is amazing! I can spray it around my roses or in any of my flower beds and that grass dries up and withers away to the roots! There's my little tip. Looking forward to part 2. 🙂
So happy to know you make mistakes! Makes me feel better!!! Been gardening for over 30 yrs. My parents had a garden and canned tomatoes. The garden was my favorite memory from my childhood. I wanted my own garden and I wanted to plant watermelon 🍉. I did get one small fruit. It tasted terrible but I was hooked.
Jeri, Your channel is art. I really enjoyed today's video and hope that you enjoy many years in your new greenhouse! Thanks for sharing your faith, your chickens, ducks and peacocks. Would LOVE to see that sweet donkey. God bless.
Dad grew the most beautiful sweet peas on the outside of the hen run they seemed to love it there I like you don’t seem to win with them and would love to have them growing them like he did
Jeri…I am curious about the 2 bunny pots on your workbench. They look like covered dishes of some sort. Can you tell me a little more about them? As for radishes…I just eat them out of hand but I did see Lidia Bastianich make some sort of dish with them so good luck with all your radishes. I like to watch Cliff over at Castle Hill Gardens, soft spoken and very easy to listen to as well as learn from. But after a LONG and ARDUOUS day in my own gardens I must admit to a guilty pleasure of watching some thrift hauls and furniture flippers. As you can tell though I wait anxiously for any visit from Hopalong Hollow in hopes of getting a peek at any one of your animals or see what you’re up to in your gardens and of course tea time with Jeri! I always like any glimpse of your other hobbies as well. So, I think that makes me a well-rounded and versatile TH-cam watcher that learns a great deal about a variety of things and I appreciate every visit. As for my gardens here in Michigan…not til April or early May before I can get my hands in the outdoor soil but I do all I can to prop up the houseplant industry after Christmas. Looking forward to part two of your question session and Happy Gardening!!!:):):)
Thank you Jeri. As always, you are such an inspiration. I know the Lord is in control, but I tend to think He needs me here to worry about stuff; consequently, I have pretty much eliminated the news. I enjoy my little "news free" bubble.
Hi Jeri, Katie from Lavender and Leeks has moved to a new channel called The Old Orchard Garden. She is starting a new garden there so i think it will be wonderful to follow her progress there. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them so much :)
Love your videos, Jeri! Regarding the growing of sweet peas - In Big Dreams Small Spaces episode S2:E1, British gardening expert Monty Don demonstrated aggressively pinching back sweet peas in the early stages will initiate bushier growth and more flowering blooms.
I have learned to try new things from watching you! I inherited my love of gardening from my grandfather. He had a 1/2 acre flower and vegetable garden. There is something so healing about getting your hands in the dirt. It brings me closer to God. After all, he created the first garden!
Hello, loved you Q&A. Just like life, we are always digging up invasive weeds, the monsters, in the garden of life! Thanks for sharing TH-cam gardeners and books, going to look them up. What a lovely story of your coming to live in Tenn. I'd love to have such an experience. I can't wait till your new book is finished. Thanks for the sharing of your hubbie James. My fave hours of the day is early morning for devotionals/Bible and greeting the day. My sister never slows down and just keeps going too and is a positive person in my life. Let's take Joy, and yes God is in charge of everything! You are a very interesting person and admire your passions in life. Thank you for this video.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow So welcome Jeri, adore your channel. Thank you gor providing awesome and beautiful content all these years. Saving my pennies to one day purchase one of your woolie stuffies!! 😘
Thank you so much for answering my question on beginner gardening advice! I just purchased a 6x3 raised bed with some Zinnia, Cosmos, and Sunflower seeds to start with. I was wanting a rose but too nervous to get one, but I’ll definitely be trying to care for one now. Gotta start somewhere! God bless, and thank you for your wholesome content.. it is a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. 💜
That's great! These are easy care plants for anyone , they don't need rich soil and love the hot sun. I will be doing several videos using the metal raised beds in the next few weeks.
I love Charles' trays. They work very well and are well worth the investment. Check out Bootstrap Farmer's trays and pots also. Investment up front, but they will last forever and the colors would look so lovely in your beautiful new greenhouse. First thing in the morning is Bible time! God does have a plan for us. We are in biblical times right now.
The way I deal with quack grass is to bury an 18” wide metal barrier on all the borders of my garden beds. I use surplus metal roofing I pick up at the local Restore.
I don’t know if you’re aware but Katie (has a new website). It’s The Old Orchard Garden. She just uploaded a new video of their new property in Wales. I thought she had married her beau of many years since it was Wales but apparently it’s her family that’s moved. She’s still living with her family who she’s in business with too. I really enjoyed her talks in the garden and the purple potting shed. No more allotment.
The thing gardening proves is our own resilience and determination. Do we give up or do as our early teachers said, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." That's what gardening is. Actually, even if we do succeed, failures will come and we have to start over. That's what's so great about having seasons, another chance to start over, or try again, to increase or change directions, or just change our minds. Gardening is one of the most hopeful and faith proving thing we can do, and the rewards are often multiplied and increased beyond what we can imagine. (Just as scripture says.) Thanks Jeri for another wonderful video. My husband is watching them with me now! He really enjoys your very pleasant voice. We're looking forward to part 2!
Quick story, my first experience "gardening" was with my dad. I was 2 maybe 3. I vaguely remember riding on the back of the plow horse he borrowed from a neighbor, next, of my sister and I walking down the rows planting beans. My dad died in August when I was 3 1/2 so I know it was before then. Next memory was when I was 5 maybe 6. My sister and I planted some watermelon seeds. I remember hearing our elders speaking about "manure" and that it was the same as "poop!" Well, we had a German Sheppard dog, and we had "manure" right out in the yard!! So we buried some of it below our watermelon seeds. Sure enough the seed sprouted! Unfortunately, we planted the seed in an area where our step-dad mowed so we didn't get any watermelons, but I've been a believer in manure ever since. I'm just pickier about which manure I choose. 😁
Hi Jerri love to watch your videos and follow your journey ..I am a little concerned as to how you’re planting up those snap peas seeds..I would suggest only two per pot😊😊 a little spaced out so there’s room for the roots then you can plant them directly into your garden.
I always plant 2-3 seeds per pot. I follow the muti-sowing methods of Charles Dowding. There were only 2 peas in each space... I've done this for years.
I was just re-watching one of your videos and I cannot believe I missed this!! I’m actually about to do a garden plan/design video to document my garden with my toddler so I can look back when I’m old, lol … so I’ve been watching garden videos and this is perfect! ❤❤❤ please post more garden videos Jeri!! Also Jeri, I started my dwarf snapdragons around this time last year and protected them w/frost protection sheet and they bloomed great for me ❤
Staring a garden journal with your little one is a great plan. I look back at some of my older journals and see so many things that have changed, both good and bad. I'm starting some snaps in winter sowing boxes today.
Thanks, as always. Just a note, I have never had good luck with Renee's seeds. I get my sweet peas from "Enchanted Sweet Pea" and they are amazing. I always soak my seeds before planting and direct sow as I don't think they like being transplanted. Mine are always spectacular, just do what they recommend.
Jeri, maybe you could succession sow the sweet pea flowers starting in February and continuing through April? That's what I'm trying here in West Tennessee. I'm determined to get blooms.
Thanks Jeri, I thoroughly enjoyed that…got to know you a little bit better.🤗 I loved that you mentioned how having lots of interests and being passionate about things can keep you going in spite of us getting older and the joints a bit stiffer. I know exactly what you mean. I absolutely agree that in the bigger picture of all of this, God is still on the throne, no matter what. Bless you my dear kindred sister.🍃🌺🍃. Looking forward to part 2. My dahlias (the ones I’ve sown, did okay), I just seem to have had a bad season in the garden overall. You should try sowing them too, just for an experiment if anything else.
I actually took your cue when you planted your Dahlias from seed and ordered a packet to try this year. We had so much rain last summer that my Dahlia tubers just rotted in the pots! It was terrible and such a waste of money.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow I’m sure you will find the seeds can work and can also yield some lovely dahlias and as you’ve mentioned, the price is much better.
@@countrygalinthecity Hey Wow, it's good to know... I am Originally from France but I Currently base in Detroit Michigan, So how is the weather over there in Ohio? Nice to meet you 👋
Love your videos! Just wanted to say, something was ticking in the back ground through the entire video after you went into the green house. With ear phones it could drive one crazy. 🤪 it may have been a ceiling fan? I had to go through the video really fast.
How about keeping the mint plant in it's pot and bury the pot in the garden, that should keep it under control. Looking forward to your new veggie garden as always.
Miss Jeri, maybe you can do some ferments with those radishes? Also, radishes are kinda like mini turnips and you could slice them up and make a radish au gratin. Try some roasted radishes. I bet you'll find a recipe you like and then you will found yourself on radishes lol. Radishes ain't just for snacking with beer or for salads.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Indeed! The Hopalong Hollow cook book for children with all your character's favorite recipes. I imagine Hopalong Jack would be the roasted radish eater? Bushky Bushy Bottom could bake a cake with nuts in it. That came to mind because I've been craving a black walnut cake with black walnut icing--just like grandma used to make. Pippity Trimble could make the Blueberry Mouse Tart. lol
How many of us can afford to plant 10,000 tulip bulbs or 50 large Lavender plants at once?! It's beyond most of us, so I prefer the garden channels that are realistic for the average gardener.
Unfortunately the deer ate everything Daylily gardens Rose gardens, Hosta gardens and many more so nowadays I only have one small garden could never afford to replace what the deer got.
Sounds as if you have too much nitrogen for your sweet peas if you get foliage and no flowers. A bloom booster (potassium) maybe what you need. Love watching you!
It’s not only mint that can be invasive-be careful with feverfew! It invaded all over the place in my old garden in Ohio. I let one sprig of mint from compost get into my flower bed, and it literally choked two rose bushes to death. 😢
Love your videos, we have started a new garden group in January, we would love to visit your garden, we are in south central ky, Adair County, just let me know if that would be something you would do🥰
I love your attitude on not giving up when things do not grow well. I feel the same about gardening. I changed my "call name" on here from keep trying to the current one. I still keep trying. However, during the process, I have also learned to give myself "grace in the garden." The time I spend gardening coexist with my alone time with God. Thank you for sharing. May God continue to bless and keep you and yours.
The garden is the perfect place to appreciate the Lord.
How I agree with you. 75 yrs old here. My knee hurts but I keep weeding and trying. Agree that God is in control no matter what is going on in the news. My husband is not able to help me in the yard but he helps by bringing me things. Really appreciate your video.
Yes to both . I'm 72 and loving it . I have chickens which never fail to make me laugh.
@@marilynmarilynohearn476
OK, I’m in between you two at nearly 74. Totally healthy and vibrant-health, EXCEPT for the KNEES!😭 But I continue on. Last week I got a nine week old Boxer puppy who already has proven beneficial to my health by requiring a few extra daily trips to walk to the back fence of my 1/4 acre. She’ll be great company as I slowly get into this season’s gardening activity.
Have just bounced back from an actual left knee “injury” (stepped wrong and twisted a ligament I guess!) but now the “Rithous-Brothers” have returned to both knees and slows me down but will not let them stop me.😁
Puppy “Bella” will keep me motivated and moving.

And thank you for your channel so many watch that are shut in and no longer have a garden and your video's are a moment to dream and see the beauty of plants growing and the splendor of your flowers so from our hearts thank you it means a lot to us. ❤️
🌷💐🌸💗
Thank you Virginia, I am so glad I can bring a touch of the country garden into your life! I will be talking about tea sets and collections in part 2 of this series, coming up later today. I think you will enjoy it! I am sure that whoever has your tea pots loves them as you once did, maybe they are pouring tea right now!
You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your love of God. My husband said, "I like watching her videos with you. She isn't fake." I too, had trouble growing poppies, snapdragons and ranunculus last year. Poppies never even made an appearance. The snapdragons were spindly and the ranunculus grew to a few inches. But, I get the garden fever every Spring and try, try again. Happy Spring !!
I like your hubby! I was astounded to see about 2" of Oriental Poppy peeking through the earth this morning...all is not lost!
He smiled at your response. His name is James, also. :)
Thankyou SO much for sharing your heart tonight…it was ministry to me personally…and an encouragement… it was precious to me to know that you love Almighty God and spend time in His Word! You are a true-blue woman of God…beautiful inside and outside! I appreciate that you are so honest and open to share the good things and the difficult ones too…you are genuinely down home for real…I love and appreciate you as an extra special person…Almighty God bless you SO immeasurably…and please keep the love of Jesus Christ shining through you! The world around us is getting darker every day…so we want to be that light from Jesus to those that need to find Him before it is too late! Katherine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ And Thankyou for respecting and honouring your husband James like you do…
Thank you and God bless you Katherine.
Roasted radishes tossed with oil, salt and pepper is pretty good. I like alot of my vegetables roasted that way. I grew breakfast radishes one year and found them to be so beautiful! They were long and thin and so much fun to pull out of the ground.
Yes, that sounds very good!
I'll second that roasted radishes are great! I also love them fried: grated or diced and fried like hash brown potatoes, or cut in chunks and fried like home fries or pan fries. If you grow the daikons that get large enough you can even cut them like French fries and deep fry them. The typical spiciness of radishes is greatly diminished when you cook them--so even my hubby, who is not a fan of radishes (calls them dirt apples) really loves fried or roasted radishes and even my grandkids like them. Radishes are low glycemic, low carb, so they're a great option for diabetics or those on a low carb diet. The same is mostly true for Turnips.
A good British gardener is Carol Kevin. First her voice is calming like yours . She is very well knowledgeable.
I like how she will plant in a container show you how to mix different plants together.
She has several different types of environment in her yard like marsh, woodland, full sun….
You two are very similar in many ways. But you are more laid back and willing to share many of your different loves. Don’t know if she does that. I think hers is a TV show that ppl have made copies of. Not sure how that works bc I couldn’t find her TH-cam channel.
I enjoy turn you on to get me motivated to get back into gardening. Life can be so hard on your own no one to talk gardening with or plan the day. You fill that push to keep going with gardening thank you. 😊 💐
Oh Yes, She is great and was on Gardeners world. ANother lady I forgot to mention is Bunny Guiness. There are so many gardeners on youtube.
I am so grateful for you just being Jeri!!! You do a terrific job at these videos!! Thank you for honoring my wish that you share you books!!! I enjoyed that part and all of your gardening!!!! You are one of my favorite youtubers!!! You cheer me up after a long day of teaching kids!!! You are such a bright spot!!!
You are so welcome!
Yum… Roasted Radishes!!! Sadly, I don’t care for the “bite” in fresh radishes, but roasted alone or with other veggies… SO good! (Taste similar to a roasted potato)
Amen! God is in control. Nothing that is happening is a surprise to Him, and He will bring all thing right in his time. Maranatha! 🥰
Another great video. Love your style ❤
Head down in the garden, I often mutter to myself “ the wages of sin is quack-grass”. Blessings dear friend, love your videos 😊🙏❤️
LOL😆🤣😂
I must be a terrible sinner.... it's in every garden!
God is sovereign. I’m so thankful you love His Word. Thanks for the pep talk. As I get older, I need to be encouraged to keep going despite the aches and pains. I would love to hear some of James’ writings.
Jeri, we are the same age! I, too, enjoy studying the Bible and spend the morning in prayer and study. I had to laugh when you said herbs are easy! I kill them so quickly! Our sun here is so strong in the summer that they would dry out so I tried bringing them indoors. They never last past the summer.😢
Lavender is my biggest problem in herbs... always hit or miss.
Gosh, Jeri…you sound just like me! (would you happen to be a Gemini?) Crazy, I too went door to door selling seeds when I was young! (I’m 69, as well!) I lived in Rutherford County for 8 yrs, in HendersonvilleTN for 3, loved the history & all the craft shops back in the 80’s, I paint, garden, sew, do all kinds of needlework, “had” an interest in aquariums from saltwater to fresh water, (I got too old to do the constant water changes), am very diligent & determined once my mind is set on something, have lots of interests & love being around people who intrigue me. You are one of them!
So glad I found you. I love your fences with the rabbit cut outs, that you built your own greenhouse (I’ve only built a chicken coop) love your teas with a good old fashioned recipe, the dishes, the stories. Such a pleasure to follow you. Hugs from middle GA
Ah, We should be neighbors! (Building a chicken coop is pretty impressive too)
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollowoh how I wish we were neighbors!❤
You have really inspired me and I am going back to watch all of your videos. I would like to think I had one of those beautifully gardened houses admired by children waiting for the bus at our corner. Hopefully at least one child catches the gardening bug. It seems the younger set are just not into gardening. I was inspired as a child by a house I remembered to be a secret garden. It sat way back and up the hill from the street street. I gardened the yard of our Victorian farm house we rescued in 1990. We totally remodeled/restored it and many people walking by and admired the garden. Flower gardening was my passion as was my English artist mom’s. The soil was fabulous even when we first bought it. I miss it still. We moved to a wreck of home we finished redoing from 2008 to 2019. I am not as young as when I did the other garden and I had 30 years and a job to pay for it all but once a gardener, always a gardener. Now I am creating the garden that will take me into my old age and vegetable gardening too. 🌷
God Bless You Jeri & ,Your husband & ALL you two put you hands, heart & strength in. Love your Godly Wisdom. Thank You for sharing all your talents( gifts) with us. 🙌 😌🙏💐
I just gained an allotment and spent the day putting up a tiny shed. I hope to grow some beautiful flowers just like you’ve done in the past.
Thanks for giving up some of your time to share tips and answer questions for people- it’s very kind!
Have a lovely week 🌼🌸🌼🌸
That's fantastic! I hope you will be showing it on your channel.
That’s so satisfying to plant seeds and see the life emerges from our hands 😌 Divine forces above gave us that power and that’s such a gift !!!!! 🙏
if only more people could understood and realize how much peace and pleasure they could gained that simply way instead of destroy . I miss so much a garden, but my little terrace is full of green life and that’s ok 🤗🤗🤗🍀🪴🪴🪴🪴. I look forward to see the lovely plants and flowers you’ll get soon . Hugs from Bordeaux
I imagine your green terrace is a little paradise!
When we bought the house we live in now in the country there was a large rose bed which was completely overcome with quack grass. I battled it for 6 years then dug up all the roses and moved them elsewhere and put raised beds where the rose bed was!
Sometimes you have to take drastic measures.
Great to her about your faith. I realized when I was reading Samual today, I didn’t know what an ephod was,but with so much info available, the answer was at my fingertips. The plant I’ve been persistent with is a lemon bush. I would be crest fallen when the mini lemons would all fall off, or sometimes, I wouldn’t even get the mini lemons. I discovered chelated iron. Then I took a paint brush and pollinated the lemon flowers. My plant is about 2’x1’. I harvested 8 lemons from that small bush! 🍋
Thanks so much for this info. I’ve had the same problem and especially that my lemons are tiny, tiny. I also need to figure out how to make them grow larger.🍋
Persistence on your part paid off! We're reading Isaiah now, it is fascinating and wonderful.
I truly loved this segment! I loved hearing your memories ❤️. Ofcource always love the garden stuff you do, but this was nice Jeri 🦋
Your enthusiasm is contagious,Jeri. Thank you so much for another great video! Happy spring!
P.S. I just love how your garden book pages are covered in dirt!
LOL!
I am still watching this video & enjoying it. When you mentioned living in Colorado as a kid & you & your siblings digging up cactus & planting. I truly related to this. My dad was in the army & when i was a kid, Dad was stationed at Fort Carson & we lived in a new subdivision & next to it was the field as we called it & my 2 younger brothers would go to the field & catch lizards & skinks & dig up cacti for my momma. You could look down our street and see Pikes Peak in the distance. Then my momma had another baby & us 3 kids was so excited & when my new brother was 3 months old, my brother that was almost 2 yrs younger than i was hit by a car & was in a coma about 48 hrs before he passed away. But I still remember how the boys would catch lizards & skinks and have lizard races. I also remember my momma planting batchlor button seeds when we lived in colorado springs.
I know Colorado Springs well! Garden of the Gods/ Red Rocks... we spent many summers visiting those places. We used to catch lizards too, what fun we had.
Jerri im the same way i just go go go all the time. Its been so nice today here in ky ive been working in mt yard all day. My nieghbor is in her mid 80s and she loves working in her yard too still wants to mow her grass all summer long. So glad you are not giving up and will continue to garden! Thanks for all the inspiration you give us. Can't wait to see your gardens this year! God is so good! Someone once said no one can be closer to God than in a garden and its so true. Nature his creations. As a gay man the world wants to scare people like us away from him but i never let them get to me. God has a plan for everyone hes in control hes my creator and savior. As the world gets more evil and crazy everyday i just remember Joshua 1:9! Take care friend enjoyed this video!
Your comment about your 80 yr old neighbor reminds me of a little old woman who lived around here, she had to be at least 90yrs. Every week she would put on her old fashioned bonnet and an apron and climb aboard her RIDING Lawnmower and drive it around her very small lawn. It seemed like such an incongruity between her appearance and her MACHINE. I loved to see her! Yes, God is in charge and it is very comforting.
I think so too, Jeri….there IS a master plan. God is in control, none of this is taking Him by surprise.
Indeed!
I believe Charles Dowding would tell you that a layer of cardboard under a 4 inch layer of compost would be the best way to deal with that couch grass/bindweed/quack grass. Each year you will only need to add 1 inch of compost to the beds. I’m glad you follow him, too.
This row that is filled with the grass had 3 layers of cardboard on top of it. The stuff travels to the edge of the cardboard , hits the light and bursts forth. I'm putting in raised beds, about 12 inches, laying the cardboard and then piling the compost and materials on top of that. the beds will then be surrounded by layers of stone. I hope that will end the monsters reign.
That's great advice about growing zinnias! I agree they are the easiest flowers to grow, even easier than cosmos. I have problems with crabgrass which I think is similar.
If you like lavender and leeks you'd enjoy homegrown garden (with a period in the middle. TH-cam keeps thinking her name is a web page and censors me)...she has an allotment and loves wildlife like you.
Oh yes, I do watch her and forgot to mention her channel.
Such a great video…our stories of how we each got started in Tennessee are very similar ! And I loved spending time in your greenhouse in this video,planting,looking at herb books ,learning about herbs 🪴 loving God and answering questions about your life in general! I can’t wait for the part 2 of this Q & A! Have a blessed week ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I, too, have the "quack grass" problem and the only way I can mitigate it is by putting down black weed barrier and cutting holes for my squash plants. It also prevents the sinister squash beetle from wiping out the whole crop. I once pulled up a quack grass root that was the length of the garden, 40', and a sharpie in width! Downright scary! Good luck!
40 feet? I believe it!
I've never done it but I've heard of people slicing radishes and frying them. Might try it. What keeps a person going is spending time with God spending time being creative and learning new things. ❤
I love your videos. You're such an inspiration! My paternal grandmother lived to be 98 and was physically active and strong until the end. She had the most beautiful soil of any garden I've ever seen and she packed it full of plants. She ate "weird" things like roasted pumpkins and canned jars and jars of food. I'm grateful for her example. 🥰❤🥰
That's wonderful!
This was such a beautiful video, just watching you plant seeds is inspiring! Also, it's wonderful to hear about your faith!
I like radish sandwiches. You can make them as fancy as you want but all it takes is butter and bread...sprinkle the sliced radishes with salt. Yum.
What a beautiful video. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Lady, you give so much inspiration and information. Thank you for your wonderfully enchanting channel. Always a pleasure to watch. ❤️
Thank you so much for for sharing Jeri. I have a lot of your passions and loves, including the Word and history, as well as art and gardening. I have James’s love of writing and reading. I like how you follow those specific passions, without letting whatever is the latest fad encroach on what you love. Thanks for sharing about keeping going. I needed that!💚🌷💚
. I like to stay focused on the old atmosphere surrounding the house and buildings, some trends seem tempting, but they usually are not a good fit for us here in the Hollow.
Very sage advice ❤
Hello Midnight you doing,
where are you from?
Hello ,always love your videos, I think you're such an amazing woman, So happy that you talked about God, God and Christ are my everything, of course my family. I'm 3 years older than you , I love everything you talked about in this video, I too have a wonderful friend she is 92 years and she is amazing, I love being with her, She has taught me so many things about gardening And she is interested in everything. Thank you so much for this video
They are inspiring women for sure, I love it.
Jeri, I love nasturtiums. They may be seen as a catch crop for bugs, oh, how they make my little heart sing.
I love all your video's. You have taught me so much. Thank you for sharing all your talent. I enjoy so much of the same things you like. I love heirloom roses, flowers, gardening, Peter Rabbit, I raise and breed rabbits for show, and Beatrix Potter and cant forget Tea. I drink Harney and son because I love the tins. I love to read. May God Bless you.
We attended a rabbit show once, I was amazed at all the wonderful breeds.
yes its amazing. I now have English lops they are the ones with the really long ears. I breed them and donate them to the kids in 4H who cant afford a good quality pedigree rabbit.
Love it that you encourage new gardeners to buy a rose! They are so many wonderful ones on the market today - that are not only beautiful in the garden but last and last in a vase! I’ve found room for about 150 in my garden! 🌹Wonderful video!
You have me beat, I only have 94!
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow How exciting. Wish I could see your list of roses. We may have many of the same ones although I'm in Zone 5b. You can see a few of mine on my youtube channel.
Jerry, you are awesome, thanks for showing me how to start planting seeds. I'm from California and only had concrete around me . Now I'm in West Virginia in the country and have a yard with grass. You inspire me to start gardening. Love ya
Thank you so much for sharing your failures and things you forgot. I so much enjoy seeing your beautiful garden, it's inspiring, but it's also comforting to know that sometimes things don't work out. Because I have experienced plenty of that as well. Thanks for the encouragement!
I have many failures AND FLOPS, but it's all a learning experience.
This was so enjoyable to watch and inspired me to get started. I think my zone is about 30 days behind your's though! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love your videos so much! Even watching you plant in seed trays because the monologue is so rich with information and warm wonderful stories! Also I couldn’t resist pulling out the seed catalogs next to my chair as I watched you. 😂. Thank you for your videos!
So nice of you, nice to see you!
Amen
Living on Long Island, NY ever since I was a little girl - now age 76 years- sweet peas grow by themselves each year, no care to them, only rain water or water from garden hose.
Another beautiful flower that comes back every year is Morning Glory, but even being beautiful it is evasive.
Morning Glories love us!.. I visiting my aunt in Long Island, many years ago.
French Breakfast radish when small, just raw with a shake of salt. A little larger, roasted.
I really enjoyed this chat. Thank you!
Is that grass also called Bermuda Grass? That's what most ppl plant for their yards here in the Texas panhandle. I choose to call it a weed and it is awful to keep out of anything!
I have found a product called "Over The Top". It kills grass but doesn't kill or even harm my flowers. I don't use it with my veggies because I try to keep them free if pesticides or anything that isn't natural. This stuff is amazing! I can spray it around my roses or in any of my flower beds and that grass dries up and withers away to the roots!
There's my little tip.
Looking forward to part 2. 🙂
I think Bermuda grass is different, but i sure appreciate the product information!
So happy to know you make mistakes! Makes me feel better!!! Been gardening for over 30 yrs. My parents had a garden and canned tomatoes. The garden was my favorite memory from my childhood. I wanted my own garden and I wanted to plant watermelon 🍉. I did get one small fruit. It tasted terrible but I was hooked.
I make lots of mistakes and have many failures... hopefully we learn something valuable and do better the next time!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM
Jeri, Your channel is art. I really enjoyed today's video and hope that you enjoy many years in your new greenhouse! Thanks for sharing your faith, your chickens, ducks and peacocks. Would LOVE to see that sweet donkey. God bless.
Dad grew the most beautiful sweet peas on the outside of the hen run they seemed to love it there I like you don’t seem to win with them and would love to have them growing them like he did
We have that awful quack grass in GA, too. I hate it.
bad stuff!
Jeri…I am curious about the 2 bunny pots on your workbench. They look like covered dishes of some sort. Can you tell me a little more about them? As for radishes…I just eat them out of hand but I did see Lidia Bastianich make some sort of dish with them so good luck with all your radishes. I like to watch Cliff over at Castle Hill Gardens, soft spoken and very easy to listen to as well as learn from. But after a LONG and ARDUOUS day in my own gardens I must admit to a guilty pleasure of watching some thrift hauls and furniture flippers. As you can tell though I wait anxiously for any visit from Hopalong Hollow in hopes of getting a peek at any one of your animals or see what you’re up to in your gardens and of course tea time with Jeri! I always like any glimpse of your other hobbies as well. So, I think that makes me a well-rounded and versatile TH-cam watcher that learns a great deal about a variety of things and I appreciate every visit. As for my gardens here in Michigan…not til April or early May before I can get my hands in the outdoor soil but I do all I can to prop up the houseplant industry after Christmas. Looking forward to part two of your question session and Happy Gardening!!!:):):)
Those are brass rabbits, They were a gift and I don't know much about them but they make nice little storage containers. I like Cliff!
Thank you Jeri. As always, you are such an inspiration. I know the Lord is in control, but I tend to think He needs me here to worry about stuff; consequently, I have pretty much eliminated the news. I enjoy my little "news free" bubble.
Amen to that!
Just wanted to stop on here and say, I adore all of the coffee mugs that you have designed they are all beautiful 😍
Thank you so much, I am going to be showing them in a video as soon as they send me some samples.
Hi Jeri,
Katie from Lavender and Leeks has moved to a new channel called The Old Orchard Garden. She is starting a new garden there so i think it will be wonderful to follow her progress there.
Thank you for your videos, I enjoy them so much :)
I am delighted to hear that Katie is back!
Godfrey is darling! Love his name.
Delightful video! Thank you for sharing, Jeri.
Hiya Jeri, Thankyou for sharing. Blessings luv Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
I direct sow radishes and they are wonderful fried or roasted as a substitute for potatoes.
Love your videos, Jeri! Regarding the growing of sweet peas - In Big Dreams Small Spaces episode S2:E1, British gardening expert Monty Don demonstrated aggressively pinching back sweet peas in the early stages will initiate bushier growth and more flowering blooms.
Thanks for the info!
I have learned to try new things from watching you! I inherited my love of gardening from my grandfather. He had a 1/2 acre flower and vegetable garden. There is something so healing about getting your hands in the dirt. It brings me closer to God. After all, he created the first garden!
Yes He did, can you imagine how wonderful i must have been?!!!
Thank you for that encouragement in the LORD, Jeri! God bless ya'll from a TN neighbor 😊😊

@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow So welcome Jeri, adore your channel. Thank you gor providing awesome and beautiful content all these years. Saving my pennies to one day purchase one of your woolie stuffies!! 😘
Thank you so much for answering my question on beginner gardening advice! I just purchased a 6x3 raised bed with some Zinnia, Cosmos, and Sunflower seeds to start with. I was wanting a rose but too nervous to get one, but I’ll definitely be trying to care for one now. Gotta start somewhere! God bless, and thank you for your wholesome content.. it is a breath of fresh air in this crazy world. 💜
That's great! These are easy care plants for anyone , they don't need rich soil and love the hot sun.
I will be doing several videos using the metal raised beds in the next few weeks.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Ooh I will be looking forward to see what you do with them!
I love Charles' trays. They work very well and are well worth the investment. Check out Bootstrap Farmer's trays and pots also. Investment up front, but they will last forever and the colors would look so lovely in your beautiful new greenhouse. First thing in the morning is Bible time! God does have a plan for us. We are in biblical times right now.
I'll check out that website, thanks!
Crab grass took me seven years to get rid of.
uugh!
The way I deal with quack grass is to bury an 18” wide metal barrier on all the borders of my garden beds. I use surplus metal roofing I pick up at the local Restore.
Good plan!
I don’t know if you’re aware but Katie (has a new website). It’s The Old Orchard Garden. She just uploaded a new video of their new property in Wales. I thought she had married her beau of many years since it was Wales but apparently it’s her family that’s moved. She’s still living with her family who she’s in business with too. I really enjoyed her talks in the garden and the purple potting shed. No more allotment.
That's good to know!
Wonderful inspirational video! Thank you!!!
I love your videos and your way of gardening, please keep making them for you Tube.....Blessings !!
The thing gardening proves is our own resilience and determination. Do we give up or do as our early teachers said, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." That's what gardening is. Actually, even if we do succeed, failures will come and we have to start over. That's what's so great about having seasons, another chance to start over, or try again, to increase or change directions, or just change our minds. Gardening is one of the most hopeful and faith proving thing we can do, and the rewards are often multiplied and increased beyond what we can imagine. (Just as scripture says.) Thanks Jeri for another wonderful video. My husband is watching them with me now! He really enjoys your very pleasant voice. We're looking forward to part 2!
Quick story, my first experience "gardening" was with my dad. I was 2 maybe 3. I vaguely remember riding on the back of the plow horse he borrowed from a neighbor, next, of my sister and I walking down the rows planting beans. My dad died in August when I was 3 1/2 so I know it was before then. Next memory was when I was 5 maybe 6. My sister and I planted some watermelon seeds. I remember hearing our elders speaking about "manure" and that it was the same as "poop!" Well, we had a German Sheppard dog, and we had "manure" right out in the yard!! So we buried some of it below our watermelon seeds. Sure enough the seed sprouted! Unfortunately, we planted the seed in an area where our step-dad mowed so we didn't get any watermelons, but I've been a believer in manure ever since. I'm just pickier about which manure I choose. 😁
That's great! LOL!
Very wise words my friend.
Always love your videos, they are inspiring!!
Hi Jerri love to watch your videos and follow your journey ..I am a little concerned as to how you’re planting up those snap peas seeds..I would suggest only two per pot😊😊 a little spaced out so there’s room for the roots then you can plant them directly into your garden.
I always plant 2-3 seeds per pot. I follow the muti-sowing methods of Charles Dowding. There were only 2 peas in each space... I've done this for years.
I was just re-watching one of your videos and I cannot believe I missed this!! I’m actually about to do a garden plan/design video to document my garden with my toddler so I can look back when I’m old, lol … so I’ve been watching garden videos and this is perfect! ❤❤❤ please post more garden videos Jeri!!
Also Jeri, I started my dwarf snapdragons around this time last year and protected them w/frost protection sheet and they bloomed great for me ❤
Staring a garden journal with your little one is a great plan. I look back at some of my older journals and see so many things that have changed, both good and bad. I'm starting some snaps in winter sowing boxes today.
Jeri thank you for your beautiful stories about life and your childhood. You have such lovely seed packets, do you ever make crafts with them?
Not yet!
Thanks, as always. Just a note, I have never had good luck with Renee's seeds. I get my sweet peas from "Enchanted Sweet Pea" and they are amazing. I always soak my seeds before planting and direct sow as I don't think they like being transplanted. Mine are always spectacular, just do what they recommend.
I'll give it a look!
Oiiii parece tudo tão mágico tão lindo amo plantas❤️ parabéns pelo cultivo Deus abençoe em tudo bjs 😘😘😘🥰🥰🥰🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I enjoy your garden adventures.. Try roasting your radishes and they become sweeter.
Jeri, maybe you could succession sow the sweet pea flowers starting in February and continuing through April? That's what I'm trying here in West Tennessee. I'm determined to get blooms.
I have plenty of seeds, so I believe that would be a good idea!
Inspiring - thank you!
Thanks Jeri, I thoroughly enjoyed that…got to know you a little bit better.🤗 I loved that you mentioned how having lots of interests and being passionate about things can keep you going in spite of us getting older and the joints a bit stiffer. I know exactly what you mean. I absolutely agree that in the bigger picture of all of this, God is still on the throne, no matter what. Bless you my dear kindred sister.🍃🌺🍃. Looking forward to part 2. My dahlias (the ones I’ve sown, did okay), I just seem to have had a bad season in the garden overall. You should try sowing them too, just for an experiment if anything else.
I actually took your cue when you planted your Dahlias from seed and ordered a packet to try this year. We had so much rain last summer that my Dahlia tubers just rotted in the pots! It was terrible and such a waste of money.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow I’m sure you will find the seeds can work and can also yield some lovely dahlias and as you’ve mentioned, the price is much better.

Oops sorry one last comment! I'm not crazy about raw radishes but they taste good roasted. Also fermented (if you're into fermented foods)

Just wanted to say, something was ticking in the back ground through the entire video after you went into the green house. With ear phones it could drive one crazy. 🤪 it may have been a ceiling fan?
I had to go through the video really fast.
It's my clock
Jeri, you must try roasting radishes. Just olive oil & sea salt …maybe some garlic powder. They are amazing that way!!😋
I will certainly be roasting them... I don't really like them raw.
How about keeping the mint plant in it's pot and bury the pot in the garden, that should keep it under control. Looking forward to your new veggie garden as always.
Good idea.
Miss Jeri, maybe you can do some ferments with those radishes? Also, radishes are kinda like mini turnips and you could slice them up and make a radish au gratin. Try some roasted radishes. I bet you'll find a recipe you like and then you will found yourself on radishes lol. Radishes ain't just for snacking with beer or for salads.
Roasted Radishes coming right up! Sounds like a good name for a book....
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Indeed! The Hopalong Hollow cook book for children with all your character's favorite recipes. I imagine Hopalong Jack would be the roasted radish eater? Bushky Bushy Bottom could bake a cake with nuts in it. That came to mind because I've been craving a black walnut cake with black walnut icing--just like grandma used to make. Pippity Trimble could make the Blueberry Mouse Tart. lol
It was interesting what you said about Paul Allen Smith; I stopped watching Garden Answer for much the same reason.
How many of us can afford to plant 10,000 tulip bulbs or 50 large Lavender plants at once?! It's beyond most of us, so I prefer the garden channels that are realistic for the average gardener.
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow Exactly. I was jealous when my Brother bought 1500 bulbs. Now as an Aged Pensioner my bulbs come in 5, 10, 20s.
Would you ever publish a gardening book? I know I would read it cover to cover.
I've been working on a garden book for several years, I hope to finish it one day.....
@@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow I look forward to reading it when you do!
Unfortunately the deer ate everything Daylily gardens Rose gardens, Hosta gardens and many more so nowadays I only have one small garden could never afford to replace what the deer got.
Oh Dear... no pun intended; but you need a large barking dog.
Sounds as if you have too much nitrogen for your sweet peas if you get foliage and no flowers. A bloom booster (potassium) maybe what you need. Love watching you!
Thank you , Always open to suggestions!
It’s not only mint that can be invasive-be careful with feverfew! It invaded all over the place in my old garden in Ohio. I let one sprig of mint from compost get into my flower bed, and it literally choked two rose bushes to death. 😢
Thanks for telling me about he Feverfew...The last thing I need are more invading armies.
I would love to know where you got your gloves ❤️
They were sent to me from a subscriber.
Love your videos, we have started a new garden group in January, we would love to visit your garden, we are in south central ky, Adair County, just let me know if that would be something you would do🥰
I used to do that, I would have to think about it.
