![4 Flowers That REPEL INSECT PESTS I'm Planting NOW [And 1 To Avoid]](/img/n.gif)
Oh my goodness my husband definitely pops things off like “this will be the best way to do it” with perfect confidence and immediately I’m like.... “okay, but why do you say that? Sources? MLA works cited please” 😂
Megan Rankin MLA works cited ❤️😂
MLA!!!😆
I would LOVE a video on how to lay out/plan your garden beds. I’m having analysis paralysis.
I learned a shocking lesson when we moved to the country when my son was 2 yo. They are raised completely different out here and to my horror, we went back to the city as he turned 3 for a wedding. It was held at a HUGE church where people wore church clothes, real shoes (not boots) and dress jackets not button down cowboy shirts. After the service, we were all standing outside talking to old friends and as I looked at my son, we had his back to me while standing in front of a tree. Of course, he had to do this in front of the whole congregation. Country boys are so natural! But my 3 yo daughter had him beat. We went in town to a nice big box hardware where they sold flower boxes and fancy sinks instead of fence posts and cattle tanks. I was checking out and turned to see her sitting on the floor model toilet, pants down. I wasn't fast enough and will forever be mortified at what I saw in the bowl when I grabbed her. We sure were country come to town back then as I kept being reminded of all the things I wasn't teaching them. 50 years later it makes a great story but --.
I love this story!!!!
Love it! Kids can be so innocent
This so funny.
We were at the back of the property working and we finally convinced my niece that a cider block was just an outdoor potty. She used that thing all day. There is 10 years between her and her sister. We were outside working and her sister needed to go potty and she took her over to a cinder block and was trying to convince her to go potty instead of going in the house. Apparently she felt if it was good enough for her as a kid it was good enough for her sister. She got over ruled since we were close to the house. She took her inside and we busted up laughing. Who knew cinder blocks made such great little kid port-a-potties.
@@heathersumner4497 That is funny and true- creative use of building supplies! LOL
I'm a mix up of both extremes. Research and perfection anxiety. Yet I am also "throw care to the wind" and "put the cart before the horse". It's always a surprise of which it will be today 😂
Same same lol 🤷🏼♀️💜
“Ahhh cute!” That’s my exact feeling when I see the seed babies
I find myself checking my phone all the time to see if you've posted yet, because it uplifts my day so much to watch your videos ❤
1000 times yes on your points on companion planting! It makes gardening too complicated and there is so much conflicting information out there, very little based on actual science. Just watch spacing, and light, nutrient and water requirements of different plants, that is all.
I love borage for the bees! They pay SO much attention to the plant/blossoms that they don't even care that I'm around them :)
To everyone getting Carrots Love Tomatoes, don’t forget to get Roses Love Garlic too! Nothing like having bunches of pretty flowers and colors to look at in your garden when trying to companion plant.
great advice!
I have trouble sowing seed because we have an abundance of birds which like to snack on my seed. I swear the crows sit and watch me plant. Then come the next morning for breakfast. The last time I tried to direct sow I sat on my porch with a 22 rifle. Out of 5 rows 40 ft rows of corn. 2 rows of peas 2rows of Bush beans . I got maybe a dozen or so plants. So I just start everything in my greenhouse. But on a more positive note we don't get very many tomatoe or cabbage worms. Because the birds like to eat them also.💕💖❤💕💖❤
It’s a REAL problem for us here in MN when the kids get cooped up inside for weeks and weeks.
Awhhh... little boys, the world is their urinal! Lol! Thanks for sharing the peeing outdoors part. I laughed out loud because I raised 3 boys! Blessings to you all!
Ur kids are funny. My nephew also tries to imitate my goats, but he can’t “warble” his voice yet so he shakes his head back and forth and goes very confidently “I can speak goat. They say FEED ME” which I can’t argue with 😂😂😂
Lol me and my kiddo just watched little shop of horrors and I was getting that feed me vibe from the goats too lol.
Sounds like my cat at 430in the morning MMMMMMMMU FEED ME
I always used to say that God showed his love to homeschool moms by giving them a sunny day that’s warm enough to play outside at least once a week during the winter 😂.
Always enjoy & learn a bunch by listening to you.
got my Clyde's Garden Planner the other day and it is very helpful ...ty for sharing this information.
Can't wait to see fence project when complete. Good to hear Boys Playing. Your Garden is starting out great. The pigs are Cute. God Bless and Peace Be With You All ☮️🙏❣️
Aaah the old OUT HOUSES, things of the past, thanks for all you share. BLESSINGS 👍 👍
I feel so encouraged by your videos!! We just bought our home and will be planting next spring once we can prepare our land....we will be watching and taking notes!! So much knowledge!
I got a Roots and Refuge garden chart and it's going to really help me this year so I'm glad you told us about them.
I CANNOT wait for conversations in the greenhouse this year! I’m super excited to see all your seeds in that large of a space!
My brother is getting into stain glass making and I hope he makes me a black iris similar to yours!
we're heading into winter down here, im so jealous yous are almost getting into your season. looking forward to next year
You are lucky to get the variegated borage....last I checked she was out. Can’t wait to see how yours do. You have taught me so much! From someone who hated to garden to loving every moment I can get out there.......thank you!
Jess thank you so much for this video (I love all your videos) but I was getting so stressed about companion planting that I haven’t even wanted to start on my plot because of the overwhelming amount of information. I also just really want to concentrate on having a beautiful diverse garden that brings me joy. I love your farm and the message you spread! Lots of love from Austria :)
Wow look at that new fencing. And I am still in love with your greenhouse. Bear is such a sweet boy. We are doubling are garden space and would love to triple it. We have made new raised beds etc. I can’t wait till we can get our greenhouse built. My children are homeschooled so when it has been raining a lot or to cold they get cabin fever and act crazy too. Your such a inspiration to our channel and our family. Thanks for sharing your life with us. 🍅🌶🥕🥦
My kids get completely squirrelly in the winter. If it snows they go out to play and we are all grateful.
I'm looking forward to getting my next round of seeds started.
Yes! We've not been able to go outside a ton this week and it has been difficult!
So interesting to see how much has changed on your farm in a little more than a year. Dreaming of a high tunnel.
Thank you!! I needed to hear this! I’ve been holding off on planting, over worrying about getting something wrong. I haven’t had good success in the past 5 years but I won’t give up!
Don't worry about what temperatures you can take. You do you girl. Your videos bring me such joy over the long, cold VT winters.
47 is a heat wave ! Lol
That's awesome hat and scarf . I am putting fox pee to keep away bunnies but read that pee from humans is also perfect so the boys are helping guard the yard of predators . Love the copper roof !!!
Just ordered my Clydes Chart! I’m also in 7B and am just so excited to start building my raised beds. My seedlings are under grow lights and I hope to have the beds done way before the seedlings are ready to plant. Thanks for your continued efforts at giving all of us such awesome information, motivation AND confidence to be self sustainable. You guys are AWESOME!
Oh my gosh thank you for this!! This is my first garden and I resorted to a SPREADSHEET to keep track of all the diverse info - straight up contradictions in some cases. You’re the best!!
You are SUCH an inspiration! This is year two of my garden, and I tried to start a couple things from seed. I realize now I was woefully unprepared and uneducated about starting from seed and have been feeling down about it -- AND overwhelmed by not knowing where to plant things and what to plant them with etc. Your videos are so real. I only hope I can be like you when I grow up.:D
You are SO REAL...love it,and the no dig garden..... a follower of Charles Dowding also one I follow......thanks for all of the great and real information and sharing your ,precious family ...we had seven in house at one time and yes life was NEVER DULL, and our house was always filled with their friends as well...have a blessed week ahead and again thank you for your commitment and time for us all.
Oooo girl! Thank you for this info. We just got our beds built and filled, so the next step is planting. Needless to say, as a first year gardener, I was getting a little to caught up in all this. There is already so many factors to take into account before adding in companion planting. I've watched SO many videos, and really enjoy yours.. I hope all grows well for all us gardeners this year!!!!
Ah I had just finished cooking my breakfast and this video was posted - perfect timing Jess! ;) :P
I CAN'T WAIT to see what you guys do with the cottage garden - the fence posts look so promising!
Enjoy what you share and do....I have learned a wealth of tips and information....Thank You!! ..and sharing a simple moment of reality of life in your day....grins and laughter....priceless !.....Love seeing the family And the animals......Great start to my day.........Again,,Thank You........Stay Safe and God Bless.......
I love my Clyde's chart....makes it even more special because i got the Roots and Refuse one......makes me SMILE!!!!
My son just turned 2 yesterday and I can’t wait to have him be helpful (and not so destructive) in the garden like your boys lol
Jes this is Ada Seale Lufkin,Texas. I got 4 bags of soil at Sam's in Lufkin, Texas yesterday. A young man employee of Sam's helped me and I shared with him about your You Tube Channel Roots and Refuge. He seemed very interested and said he was going to check your Channel out!!!! I was so excited about that❤🌹
Thank you Ada!
Lufkin, Texas...East Texas
Oh my I am crying with laughter about all your boys and not catching them peeing on things in your shots 😂
She also sent me splash of cream seeds! I am so excited to grow them out💚 she's such a sweet gal
You're awesome! I agree, don't worry so much about what goes where. lettuce bags are doing so great!
Bought a handful of the Clydes growing guides and scattered them among my gardening friends. They all loved them. Neat tool and my wife is using the heck out of hers.
Hello from Northern Canada! Zone 7 - Pacific North coast rainforest. I am just getting my garden started now because the soil is finally thawed! Direct sowing a few seeds but starting my tomato, pepper, squash seedlings indoors. I find your videos so helpful, and after this video I feel more confident direct sowing a wider variety!
I get so excited when a notification pops up.I found myself lol with you and answering you. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge on this subject🦋 Lol....12:00pm 30 degrees here in CT. The baby pigs are adorable. Outdoor peeing.. yep understand about having to remind the boys...and I don’t live in the country 😌Blessings
I got my garden planner when they restocked and I am so happy
I planted borage in my garden many years ago, I've never planted it since but I've got lots of borage in my garden as it self-seeds everywhere. My bees love it.
Your seedlings are looking great! Maybe next year I can get a small green house. I only have an acre of land, so my garden is very small, but the pleasure & enjoyment it brings me is HUGE!!! So happy for y'all for making all the changes at your farm! Must be exciting. I've got garden fever bad. Not much longer & I'll be starting mine. Your boys are too cute for words!!! Blessings to all the Sowards! Always anxious for your next video....until next time! : )
I got mine Planner last week and love it. Thanks for the advise.
Love to see that sweet Bear, the kids too.
Thank you for this,I come from farmers,we always planted from life experience and facts,nowadays everybody's an expert due to social media,your channel is a treasure🍄
Wonderful time. Wonderful family. Fantastic video.
God Bless. 💖.
Got mine weeks ago
I just got my Clyde's chart today. I'm so freaking excited!!!
Thank you! I have been saying that for years about companion planting. So much out there confusing people that believe everything they read online. Great video!
I haven’t heard of the variegated borage, will check that out. The girls love the white and blue borage.
My Clyde/RR calendar is on its way! So excited! I’m on the line of 7b/8a. I live in a dip compared to the rest of my town so it gets much colder. But the summer is HOT. This is my experimental year so I am not keeping my expectations too high. Thanks for sharing!!
Regarding your cold weather, I’m from Minnesota and 50 in humid southern states feels so much colder than 50 degrees here ⛄️ we recently spent a cold cloudy rainy “vacation” in Florida felt COLDER than it would be in Minnesota at 50 degrees. I wore a winter jacket with layers most of the time. I feel your pain! ⛄️⛄️⛄️
Minnesota gets temps of 100 plus humidity in summers too!
We just also get wind chills of -45 sometimes. Lol
I absolutely loved your thought on if you plant the seeds you may or may not get something, but if you don't plant the seeds you're guaranteed to not get anything.
You and your family are adorable! Don’t feel bad about needing the jacket at 50. I’m in AZ and am freezing at anything under 70. I just started really (like actually researching and reading) learning to garden this season, so far I’m not killing all my baby plants like prior attempts. 🙌🏻 But it’s the desert and only in the 60’s this week, so there’s still plenty of time for me to screw up... 🤦♀️🤷🏼♀️
I learn so much from your videos!
I’ve had really good luck planting basil with tomatoes to keep horn worms away. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
I bought borage seeds for the first time this year I'm really excited to start growing it. I read a lot about it. I like the fact that it sucks up a lot of nutrients. Apparently it grows a deep taproot. You can put it in your compost pile eventually. I also read that you can make a liquid fertilizer out of it. So it has many uses.
I'm rewatching this is 2021! I had brassica seeds (Japanese giant red mustard and ragged jack/red Russian kale) over winter in the "polar vortex" when it got down to -20F and tons of rain and snow this winter.
I ordered seeds from her too -- I got a few kinds but one of them was Dancing with Smurfs that you spoke about -- they sounded so good I had to plant them!
I built my first raised bed with my son today. My son can get some aged horse compost dirt to feel it. I'm excited to see how this will work out for me. I'm planning using
I do a trifecta of Marigolds, Nasturtiums, and Borage. When I plant all three? I rarely have hornworm troubles. I often stuff them in wherever I can amongst the garden as they offer benefits to the whole garden(and the Gardener as the visuals are eye candy).
Awwwe that was an adorable ending.
Cute boys. Loved the video. Thanks.
Yes! They go bananas if they don't get enough outdoor activity! Plus bedtime is so much easier even they've been outside.
Thanks for a great video! I was directed to your channel by Lazy C Homestead and even though currently I'm in South Dakota, I own 5 acres right near Pencil Bluff, AR. I'll be heading that direction around the end of April to mid May to start clearing the wild land. Yes, by myself. We'll see how it works out but it's awesome to listen to someone in the same grow zone!
Love spring 🌱 excited to see my tomatoes seedlings spring up. 🐝
I love growing with pro mix. I have tried to switch from it but I always go back cuz the results are just.... like I feel like it make it easy for the plants and is most comfortable for them lol
Blood curdling screams. LOL! I haven't met a kid, yet that didn't love to scream at the top of the lungs when outside. We had a little girl that lived down the street that would stand outside and just let out the most terrifying screams. Nothing wrong, everything is good, but Ima gonna scream to my heart's content. lol.
LMAO! My daughter walks out the front door and screams "ECHO". She tries inside, but no one understands what she's screaming. (She's 3)
I companion plant with marigolds. It looks beautiful and really does deter the harmful insects.
Plant basil plants for horn worms.....it works!! the worms love the basil more and the tomatoes and hummingbirds really love the basil blooms
Hello sweet little Ben almost your time to get in that garden
Hi... I only found you recently but I really enjoy and appreciated the great info you share with the world. 🌱🌻🍅🌶🥒🥬🥕🍉💕
How did I not know about this seed company!? I'm in WA. So excited!
Canadian girl here, and I'd often put on a toque and jacket at that temp, too. I really dislike being cold.
Everything is relevant to what you're used to. Living in zone 10 I'm in snow pants and a parka when it gets below 60 (not even joking). Glad you're enjoying the day despite the cold. Be well :o)
My exact sentiments on companion planting too. Well said.
My blue borage sometimes puts off a purple/pink bloom but the white and variegated varieties sound great!
Omg, my pet peeve too, but in general. People love to speak in black and white, when most things are several shades of gray. I think gray areas take more effort to be comfortable with, and some people don't appreciate that. I appreciate your presentation of facts and thoughts.
I dehydrate the borage greens and add them to teas and soups. flowers as teas as well.
This video was so helpful. Companion planting stresses me out. I had someone tell me one year when I was battling the first hornworms that I had ever seen in my 12 years of gardening, to plant marigolds. So I did my little bit of research and set out to seed the most gorgeous marigolds. I had them as a border in the garden and down a few rows. I'll never be convinced that the they didn't BRING pests to my garden lmao I have never dealt with squash bugs, cucumber beetles and whatever else was out there.....until those darned marigolds. Never again lol
love your headband so much
You are such an incredible mother, so loving and tender and I’m only a minute or two into the vlog and I am so happy to be here. I’m a Christian too and it’s such a breath of fresh air experiencing life with you through these videos. Your heart is needed in this world. I am planting my first garden this year. Last year it didn’t turn out so well. I moved from the north to the south and the climates are polar opposite. I’m gaining experience along the way and I found your channel last year but I’ve been lead back to your channel again. I gave up and felt pretty discouraged but I’m so thankful to listen to you and your vlogs. You give me hope and inspire me to try my very best and not to be so easily discouraged. I’m learning daily. I’m always learning but your channel gives me a new perspective and a clean state of mind. Thank you for being you and for allowing God to use you. You are having an eternal impact.... way more than you know. God bless you, sister in Christ.
We just started a Garden and the pressure to add every companion in has made it quite a bit more complicated so thank you for this video!
I love your hat! Thank you for the information.
Your growing space has gotten huge since last yime I checked in
Love the DISC! Fun!
Hahah! I can’t even count the amount of times we’ve been at church and I look over and my son is just peeing in the grass or a tree if there is one:)
And my two year old daughter just gave you a kiss lol she loves watching your boys and the animals:)
STICKERS! jacket when it is 50 degrees? lol Everything is soo opened up. Thanks for sharing.
Look at your starts😍🤩🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 omgosh wishing I had your seasons here lol pigs are getting so big, absolutely adorable 🥰🐖🐖 lol yes I have the boys here and the outdoor plumbing issue as well haha 😅 love you guys xox Ashes
Love that I found you on here!!
18 degrees today and I wore a long dress and a hoodie out. Tennis shoes. It was cold but not cold like windy cold can be that stuff will get right in your bones.
We have two sons who have been raised in the country too and my husband taught them how to “water the flowers “ well. Our daughter well she can’t go outside to save her life even though her entire life has been living in the country. On another note I have direct sown in my garden already (we live in the Sonoran Desert) and I have one variety of lettuce up already (I planted four varieties) and a couple stalks of asparagus up too. I am using your cattle panel idea as an arch over a portion of my asparagus bed to create shade for my lettuce and help keep it from bolting as soon hopefully. I planted gourds to trellis on the panel. Btw I discovered two panels in the back corner of our property and was excited because I didn’t have to spend any money on them.
Thank you for getting this info out about companion planting! There is one Pinterest chart out there that say don't plant x next to y. Then, down at line y, it says to plant with x. 😂
Here in Sc I planted parsley and dill around my tomatoes and usually horn worms are everyone but I only found two because they preferred the dill over the tomatoes. Idk if it’s a perfect plant but it’s worked well for me.
