I love when I get into a new hobby and find my person on TH-cam and they have years of content that answer ALL of questions. It’s like finding a good show with 6 seasons already. Love this channel.
Not to mention that if you are planting a fall garden, it is nice for the pollinators because there is a "dearth" of nectar and pollen around late summer...with all the goodies that you all (y'all, yinz, youze guys) will be planting in your now "inspired by Jess" fall gardens, it's just making my little bees hearts buzz with happiness!
I always plant my tomato suckers as my second crop, it saves me loads of time vs starting from seed. One tip I've learned, take a glass of water with you to the garden. As quick as I snap the sucker from the parent plnt, I plop it straight in the water, and take that straight to the kitchen window. Our heat in West TN is just too much for the suckers to root well outdoors. I change the water daily, and plant them out as soon as the have roots, just about a week or so
Hi! We have this issue too, in SC. I just wanted to share what has worked for me- I find unruly tomato stems that can be pruned and are over a foot long- then I remove all of the leaves except the top few inches, then use a stake to create a very deep hole, and bury at least 8 inches of the tomato stem. The longer the stem/ deeper you can bury it, the better. That way, the stem has access to cooler moist soil so it can root, even in the heat. I give it a bit of shade for a while with an overturned pot until it starts to take off. Good luck, hope it helps 😊
One thing I have to say is that you aspire me to do more and learn more. Your passion and enthusiasm are contagious. And you are so knowledgeable. Makes me want to do more and learn more as I have indeed learned a lot from following your videos. Also, what a breath of fresh air to see someone so positive in this day when everyone is seeming to focus on the negatives. Keep up the good work and May God bless your endeavors.
I love that you explain what a lot of the “gardening terms “ mean. Things like frost date , short season , Frost tender etc I’m aware you can look them up but it is really nice to have someone actually explain it for those who learn better through hearing vs reading .
I have just moved into a new house and there was no garden. It is actually just an open field and my house is in the middle! It is hard clay and limestone and if I am lucky there are places where at the deepest I have 6" of soil. The wind is exhausting, there are no trees to speak of so it gets hot like the surface of the sun! I also have a very modest budget. I decided to get inspiration from other people. I discovered ROOTS AND REFUGE farm! I am so thankful for your advice and enthusiasm. I don't feel despondent anymore because of the aggressive conditions. I now feel excited about what I can do! I grew up gardening with my mom and for the first time in a long time I feel like I did when I was in the garden with her! Sooo.. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful tutorials... I thoroughly enjoy every one and I admire how you approach gardening for the benefit of your family and the happiness of your heart. This is a long blurb but you make a difference and deserved to hear it!
Try some buckets to start off with or make small raised beds to start. Sounds like you have an open canvas!! Or maybe even a couple wine barrels cut in half double the space
@@monicamissner1115 What a lovely surprise to have you comment on MY comment.. you are the first person who has ever done that! Thank you! And thank you for your very cool ideas.. I have been busy trying to bring things together to make some physical improvements in my garden and I will ABSOLUTELY apply your suggestions. I hope your weather is treating you well and your harvest is rich.
Thanks for your awesome videos! Just a quick observation on fall growing. Days to maturity on seed packets are calculated for spring planting and don't take into account the shorter days of fall. Vegetables grow slower in shorter day length so two weeks should be added to the "days to maturity" to take that slower fall growth into account. :-)
I also recommended dehydrating root crops, broccoli stems, etc. In slices or chunks for winter soups and casseroles. I even recently made a special blend of the select few veggies my daughter wants in her soup when she makes some ramen style soup for herself.
I realize this video is 2 years old, but I just want to say how inspiring you are. For gardeners who are just starting out this information is very important. I myself have been able to start a garden with the information you have shared and although it is small it is thriving because of the skills I have obtained in multiple videos you have shared. Thank you and God bless you.
I planted zucchini seeds in August because of this video, and we will be having zucchini for dinner tonight in October. I enjoy your videos and the great information you give us. Thank you!
I just discovered you and I'm seriously obsessed. I have definitely been binge watching your videos. You provide the kind of information overload that I live for! I don't need to do an internet deep dive to get all the information I need. You have most of it right here! Love it! ❤
I have planted a sucker from my cherry tomato plant and it is double in size now and producing tons of blooms! It was kind of an experiment and worked great!!
My mom told me her grandfather would take the branches that would be touching the ground. He would put a big rock on them and they would start a new plant right their. Rocks also hold moisture under them.
Jess, thank you. Enjoy learning & getting inspiration watching your videos. I tinker with growing. I give thanks bc He gives me these items that taste delicious when I plant a seed. ❤️🙏🏼❤️ 💐 I have about 53 plus tomato plants growing. Because of your advice; I have grown a array of varieties. My blackberries are being harvested daily which are a nice treat when checking out what goodies are ready to pick. The Lord blessed us with a good crop of peaches & nectarines. I have to learn planning. Being a mom of 4 & moving lots kept me from planning & dreaming. Now that I’m busier than ever.... (7 kids & 21 gkids plus church service) the learning of the Word is key to overcoming & enduring life’s craziness. It’s the peace of all & for all. I wished that I had this desire of growing a garden when our kids were little. Truth: timing & seasoning. Then give thanks because there is so much to be thankful for. I see me planting more seeds this fall. We usually have tomatoes late so maybe squash or something more? God only knows; health issues & rain 🙇🏽♀️ God bless ❤️🙏🏼 & a holy 😘 & 🤗’s. 🌹🌻🌺🌸🌼🌷
I’m to the point where I’m following every video! Love your garden and learning a lot. Following you on Instagram! I adore your style and all of your adorable dresses 👗
The Walters House she's very inspirational to me. We grew up 40 miles away from her home. I ended up moving away 20 years ago to Wichita Kansas. I get so tickled at her because her accent is so me!! Lol my family teases me when my Arkansas accent comes out. I've been sending them Jesse's videos saying, now I don't feel alone. Then yesterday a man came by from one of the churches here they are having vacation Bible School. I was in the other room but heard his voice. I thought, that man is from Arkansas! I went to the door and he was telling my daughter he was from Arkansas. Lmbo we have a one of a kind accent like no other lol
I recently found your channel, and I love your content. I just finished my degree in horticulture and am a professional gardener serving veterans. I’m lacking experience as I’m in my first year on the job and second year in my backyard. Thank you for sharing your experiences and practices with us. I’ve been filling my notes with a lot of your recommendations. We are trying to grow 20,000 pounds of food or more with veterans for veterans. I’ll keep watching for more best practices from you and others.
Hey friend, I praise God for this video. My husband and I are in a lot of debt with little income so I grow some of our food to supplement our income so this video is very timely for me. Thanks lady! ☺️
I'm 60, and hubby is 50, and new gardeners. We have learned so much from your videos. Trellised our squash and cucumbers and still harvesting daily. We roasted radishes for the first time. Because you told us we would plant a Fall garden, we will! We're in Bowling Green, KY. Thank you for everything you do!
You’ve inspired me for the upcoming garden season and to plan better for a Fall garden. Fall gardening super extends your harvest and it is the best when I am harvesting leeks and kale in mid-November and carrots in December (carrots covered under a small plastic hoop system over a raised bed). I live in upstate NY as well. Also a great system of storage is your cold garage for months to come such as for leeks, potatoes, beets and winter squash. I harvested leeks in mid-Nov. then just placed them roots down in a 5 gallon pail or Rubbermaid tote (uncovered) and placed in my cold garage and I am still using them in mid-January. My Waltham Butternut Squash are in great shape now, Jan. 11th, as well. So with a Fall harvest you actually still have plants from your garden well into winter and even spring with this low input storage method. If my cold garage gets too cold during really frigid spells I just bring the boxes or pails of veggies down into my warmer basement as needed until the frigid spell breaks. I have also found that I can harvest my bell peppers in mid-October just before first frost and then simply store them in a large cooler with the lid propped open for up to one month using them as needed without them spoiling. Of course they do best stored on a protected cool porch or garage during this time and are fine as long as temps. Don’t get below freezing in the cooler. I have eliminated a lot of time consuming and even expensive processing methods by these simple storage methods.
"Nice, frost kissed flavor." I love the way she thinks. Started my fall garden inside yesterday. Hoping we have a longer growing season, like we did last year.
So I totally paused your video and planned my fall garden. Planted the next morning since our frost date is sooner than yours! Came back to finish your video today. Thanks for inspiring me to just do it!!
This is the first time I'm gardening solo and I increased my gardening because of all your awesome videos. Thank you so much!!!!! I'm really overjoyed to have this in my life. Hugs
I have been so encouraged by your passion, your knowledge and your love for Jesus in the garden...You said something in another video I watched that overwhelmed me. And it was something so simple...you water by hand because (in my words) God is there and you can pray and be with Him...I weep sometimes when I'm in mine, thanking Him for what he's given me and the love for the work, His presence, the bugs, the process and how I've grown and the eventual harvest. My garden is nowhere near as productive as yours but you inspire me to keep at it. Last year I was in Buffalo, NY at this time, in a hospice room with my MIL and everything I worked for died...I live in San Antonio, TX, and tho my son worked to help, it wasn't enough. So we rethought the garden and decided to do raised beds, instead of the ground. My amazing carpenter husband built me beds and we made a fence to surround it out of pallets to keep the chickens out. It's quite the urban garden and one day, my dream is to teach others that they, too, can grow their own food and enjoy God in the Garden...where it all began. Your videos always encourage me and I am so thankful for you. Thank you again for taking the time to be who you are!!! God's best to you, Green Thumb Genius, an Instagram name my son gave me cuz sometimes things just grow and he is amazed and I am dumbfounded by it.
OMG between you and Laura from Garden Answer, I am so excited to garden again! I will pull out my old cucumber plants tomorrow and start something. I am farther north (northern Illinois) so it might have to be greens but I have a renewed energy to try again. Thanks for your excitement and knowledge!
Could you do a video about overwintering? I’m new to gardening and I’m wondering what we just pull out after their growing season ends, vs what to over winter, how to over winter, and what’s worth over wintering vs what’s not.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into both shooting and editing your videos. Now you add this plant list and links. You are the best and I really appreciate all that you do.
I am getting excited to plant my fall garden. My baker creek order just came in! I have pulled some plants and found a horse farm giving 1yr old poo/shavings away. I went and got a huge load and put it in areas where the fall garden will be. I also have rabbits so I need to gather up some poo and head to the garden. I am working on my raised beds where my peas, carrots and radishes will be. Hopefully I can get them done in time. Watching your videos gives me the push I need!! Thank you!!
I am always in tears when I watch your videos. They are so down to earth and realistic. Wish I could grow to that capacity😣! Small yard and terrible dry soil mixed with a lot of rocks. Thinking about raised beds. Keep the videos comming!!!
Buckets are the best and easy to move around all my tomatoes were in buckets last year and they were huge. I got some from my local bakery at the grocery store and then I went and just bought some at Walmart they’re pretty cheap to buy.
I have a crazy idea! Could you do a video about how online seed swaps work and then encourage your listeners to post a list of haves/wants and do a swap in your comments?
Amy Pellicer . Im Just now starting collecting seeds this year. I'd be willing to once I find some varieties I really like. Im new at this organic gardening and see collecting
Fall is my favorite time of year to garden! I live in Texas and we just had a day that got up to 113, nothing is growing that well, but fall is when everything takes off with cooler temps, my favorite time to garden is from September through December, plus I love Brussels sprouts and there’s no way I’m growing that in spring and summer here in Texas!
@@thebluecottage9952 Do you have a Facebook page? I'm in the Fort Worth area and just getting into learning about homesteading. I would love to see what you've got going on since you're in the same area.
Tiffany Hammond I don’t have a Facebook page specifically for my garden but my Instagram which is just heather Boldt, I show some of what I’m growing/ doing if you’re interested. I’m also in the Fort Worth area!
I'm laying in bed grieving for my dog I put down yesterday, your video is inspiring me to get out of bed and be productive in the garden🖤🌻 thank you so much, I love your videos!
Jess look at you sitting on a blanket right where the pavilion is now! The garden has come such a long way it's really neat to watch the old videos and see the change and where you've come from and the journey along the way
I decided to go back to the start of your families time on you tube while you are preparing for your new adventure, and I have to say I have half a few good giggles! Your herd of two goats! I just thought to myself "you have no idea what is coming!" Lol. It has been nice to see your growth and the positive changes you continue to make after all these years. I feel that sometimes it is good to move forward and learn and sometimes its important to take it back to the beginning and follow the steps. I have been watching your channel since spring and I feel so blessed to have found you! I agree with most, if not all your growing practices and am so grateful for the chance to learn from all your experiments. For me your life on TH-cam is like a great book, I can seem to put you down and I'm learning so much it keeps me hooked. I feel like I jumped into the story in the middle when I randomly started watching this spring and now that you guys are moving I wanted to read this book front to back... If that makes any sense! This video really helped me to realise how much potential growing time we still have and the waste it would be not to take advantage of it! Good luck with your move and I am excited to start the sequel along with your family, I bless you to Jessica.
Just organizing my seeds today to start my fall garden. Five grandchildren are coming over tomorrow to help. Ages 5 to 10. Love it that they want to learn, help, and eat! 🌱🐔🐷🐐
Am now in love with your energy. Thank you so much! Just planted zuchinni and winter squash with 112 days till frost. I am not fond of summer gardening because of the heat, and now I know how to do a fall planting. Wow.
Dude, I was a fan but now I'm a super fan. I'm from Conway too. Born and raised. Now I live in Gainesville, Florida though. I miss it so. Keep inspiring, the positivity is contagious. :)
I am not a tattoo girl.... but girl.. your artwork is incredible. Such detail and thought. Pssst.. Thank you for all you share and give to us. You are amazing!
Thank you so much for explaining how to use the almanac and explaining this in a way that people in different regions can still use the information. I always hear an exact date, like “September 25”, and have never even heard of frost dates. This was SO helpful.
Thanks for the video. Lots of good information. My garden has been incredibly stressed this year by 2 weeks of 100 degree plus temps in May in S.C., but now you have given me hope for the fall garden 😀
Thanks to your tip on using plastic totes to protect lettuce I successfully planted different greens and lettuce last winter. The nights can get down to low 20's but days often warm to 40 and even 50 sometimes. Also had a low tunnel that was protected nicely using heavy plastic. Happy to say I have now been eating fresh veggies from garden for a full year
I was laughing when you started talking about the tomatoes...I currently have 26 tomato plants growing that are from seeds that I started as experiments back in july through end of august...I hav e15 cuttings from my 1 tomato plant my parents gave me bck in may which was already 8 inches when I got it. Any time I pruned, I stuck the cuttings in water and so far my biggest plANT WHICH STARTED AS A 3 INCH SUCKER is now taller that the mother plant and is planted in a 10 gallon cloth grow..I LOVE ALL of your shows. You are so real and fun but incredibly informative.
My fall and winter garden is the most enjoyable for me. Less bugs, less weeding, less watering, less maintenance around the garden. Plus, I love collards, pork belly, and cornbread. Great video as usual.
Hi, we are new youtuber’s! We are starting a new homestead after losing our home to a fire. This past year has thrown us off. My garden this year is pitiful. I am now thinking about a fall garden! Thanks for the information.
You are so encouraging, seriously calmed me all the way down lol God bless you! Thank you for sharing this and for allowing God to use you in a mighty way, thank you for being you 💕
My fall garden in Mi. I started in Aug. and Oct. New seeds in Nov. were slow but were up before mid Dec. Covered this area in leaf lettuce and endive. 2-3 coverings of plastic for the winter. the fall garden that wasn’t meant for harvesting after Oct. and Nov. were started in Aug.---Pac choi, endive, kale, lettuce.
We had a late spring and I decided go big or go home! It is my relaxation place. I have learned some things I had forgotten. I took the year off last year due to family situation. I recovered my container garden boxes and then had a neighbor give some more plants after planting so I had to build another box. You are a lot of fun to listen too and I am convinced to sit and plan a fall garden! Thanks for all you do and share.
Thank you Jess. I just found your Vlog this past spring and I have learned more from you in the past few months than I have learned in 25 years of gardening on my own. I pass along to everyone I know who loves to garden that you are the best source of info. out there, + it's great to watch a cool family thriving on their terms!
Love this topic. You came in just when I’m feeling defeated in my garden due to the heat and now the hurricane expected to drop possibly 20 plus inches of rain right over me. I have hope now that I still have time after all this passes over.
There is so much valuable information in this video I may have to watch it four or five times! Hit the pause button about 123 times and take many many notes for my garden notebook! Thank you Jess! You are an angel
This was superb! Really makes fall growing approachable for newbies. Doing it in July is brilliant as well. When I'm planning I will often take a gamble on having enough days until the first killing frost. Our weather is so crazy nowadays that you may get an extra month of growing weather and to me, it's worth the price of some seeds and the space that would otherwise be empty if I don't take the chance.
Hello Jess. I just did that with my tomato plants. I cut lots of suckers and replanted them. That way you don’t have to wait for seeds to germinate. Cutting the suckers works much better.
I've been wanting to plant vegetables, but felt stuck because it's the end of the season. Plus I've never really gardener before. This video was practical and actionable and got me farther than hours of prior videos. THANK YOU!! :) You've got a gift for teaching.
High desert gardening is such a pain! Today, my daytime high is 98, but my first frost risk date is Sept 7th, just 49 days away. :( I have to start heat sensitive things while it's still hot, because the cold comes sudden and hard, here. It's all very tricky. Thank you for all the tips, though, they have really helped my first garden to be successful, even in such a harsh climate as mine. I just bingewatch your channel, now. :)
Just a consideration. I now live in the Pacific NW, in zone 8. My last frost date is in March and my first frost date is in November, which does give us a very long growing season, BUT, vegetables that need a lot of heat to set blooms or ripen to maturity dont do well here because we dont get enough really hot days. So, for example, while I have even more days until first frost than Jess, most of those early fall days are still going to be cool and tomatoes here probably wouldnt set blooms after the first couple weeks of September. Thought i would mention that is a consideration that i didnt have in zone 8 in the deep south where i did have warmer late summer and fall days. :)
I am in South Louisiana and went to Home Depot to get some Broccoli seeds and Curly leaf Kale was so disappointed to learn that HD sent all their seeds back to the warehouse. I have been to 5 other places searching for seeds. My sweet colored peppers are on their 3 year and I have saved plenty seeds. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for the amazing info.
Thank you for lifting the shroud of mystery over a fall garden. You cleared up a lot of questions I had. Please consider do videos over 2 other topics that I'm not very clear on: Fertilizer requirements for vegetables and companion growing based on soil needs and pest/disease control. Thanks!
I live in Tn and it has been in the 90"s for weeks, I started to fall garden some time ago. I find the fall garden is more desirable because of the lack of bugs, it is cooler. plants seem to grow better. I plant so many kale that I have to freeze it. Kale is one veg that can withstand snow and still be fine (we don't get a lot of snow) but the kale lives through it... Nice video thank you.
So now I'm inspired to start a Fall garden. We are building a homestead from scratch on 11 wooded acres. While we clear and build the house, we are living in a rental on the edge of town. Great advice in other videos about making that place a classroom and practicing on raising some things so we can get some experience. And I love your ink! You do a great job with your videos. DIY Network needs to give you a show.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, zone 8b. Just subscribed to your Your TH-cam channel. I love the cattle panel growing system for the tomatoes and peppers. We have been growing this way for two years, makes it so much cleaner and easier when harvesting. Love your gardens.
Good information Thanks for sharing! You can also plant garlic, onions and greens under your trees I use apple trees the trees are full and provide protection from frost so can grow later into fall.
Good Morning Jessica To start you are amazing talker and easy to listen too I enjoy all your garden talk 🍓🍉🍒🍓🍉🍒 I do a garden journey and try and right down were I plant everything Take a lot of pictures then i make a book every year💕💕💕💕💕🍓🍉🍒🍓🍉🍒🍷🍓🍉🍒🍷🍓🍉🍒🍷🍷🍉🍓🍒🍉🍓🍷🍉🍓🍉💕💕💕💕💕 God Bless💕💕💕💕
loisann therapy Gardening isn't she great! She has a voice you can't help but be drawn to. And a great personality and that good old southern charm. I miss being there. I grew up 40 miles from her. When she mentioned the mosquito bring the state bird, lmbo she wasn't kidding
loisann therapy Gardening , Hello, I've been wanting to start one, I am very shy. I was hoping I could work thru my shyness by doing a vlog. I don't know how to edit in 53 and the technical train left without me, lol I'd love to try. Im working on talking to my landlord to see if they will let me share crop their empty lot next to me. It would give me a huge amount of room to grow a large vertical garden. Mostly about ground beds because the roots from old Maple trees have taken up the side yard. It would add about 25x60 to my garden. I lost my son last year so it's been a struggle this year with my emotions. Im Doing much better since spring hit. Jess actually really helped bring me out of my depression and into what now is my Hobbit garden lol that's what I call it. It's actually 4 small gardens. 1 flower garden in memory of my son. And 3 small vegetable areas about 10x10 it's really coming along. People stop and comment on my garden. It makes me feel like I've created a tiny vegetable forest lol. Wish we owned the property I'd put more money into it. Im like Jess, a country Gardener, And I love it. I may try doing a few small videos and see if I have what it takes. I don't do well with negative comments and utube is so full of that these days. I do feel like lots of people could relate being on a small property in a large City. And to think, it all started with a pile of leaves. A very good story from my heart. I think if I had a channel, that would be the name of it. It's the story of losing my son and the recovery process I've faced and still facing. I need someone who could critique and edit. My story could help allot of people thru Gardening. Thanks you for commenting. God bless Deb gabbiesmeemee@gmail.com
Hi, I'm Jesse from Pueblo Colorado. Gurrl I love you so much. I've been watching your videos since the beginning of the year and you have shared with me so much valuable information and given me some really great ideas. I totally used that arched cattle panel idea and the way it transformed my yard and increased my growing capacity, it's marvelous. I got my garden started really late this year, but that's ok, thanks to you I'm fully prepared for spring 2020. You've gotten me very excited about the fall garden and I'm going to be planning soon. Thank you to you and your family for this channel, y'all work so hard and we really appreciate the info, the passion, the message and the love. Btw I absolutely love Baker creek catalog and their seeds. I have some stunning plants growing from them, my black coat runner beans are gorgeous, and I'm very excited for the melon charentais and melon petit gris de rennes to finish. Anyhow, I just wanted to share some love with you since you've been such a positive force in my life this year. Xoxo from Colorado.
I had such a discouraging day in my small garden, discovering that every zucchini plant has been destroyed by *many* squash vine borers (and it turned out to be too late for "surgery"). I was honestly ready to give up gardening. Thank you for your video and the hope within it
I recently found your channel and I absolutely love your garden. Because of your garden with the raised beds and vertical gardening I now have a better idea of how I want my garden next year. I am originally from NJ but live in SC. I am learning the very hard way just how different it is to garden down here. Between the heat and the evil CLAY, lol, I hve had to do a lot of reading and trying new things for my gardens in the coming seasons. Thank you. I hope you have great success in your fall garden. God bless you.
I just found you and was so excited to hear you are a Arkansas girl. I live in Maynard Ar Northeast about an hour from Jonesboro. You have given me the hope of planting a fall garden. You are very inspiring and your devotional of your struggle of the vehicle situation was the first video I seen if you. And wow, I couldn't stop listening to you. What an amazing person you are. Your words hit home for me. Thanks for sharing. God is Good.
I have recently begun watching your videos and I absolutely love all the info you give and the passion you do it with. I have been toying with the idea over the past two or three months about starting a vegatable garden for our family and God has his ways of talking to us through others. He brought me you and today I was standing in our backyard and my 'mother-in-law' asked what I was doing and I explained to her I was looking to see where I could possibly make a small raised bed for my wife and I tomatoes and cucumbers that we use a lot. Without hesitation she said I could cut back the trees and use a huge part of the back yard!
University of Tennessee has a schedule on their website. We are 7a and there are about 15 vegetables that can be started from seed between July and October.
Bonjour Amy , Thank you for your question well to start with we don't plant tomatoes for a second time in the fall , nor do we have or eat so many different kinds of peppers mostly the bigger green and red ones . In my garden I have tomatoes , red and green salad , French green beans, beetroot , some red potatoes , echallots , demi sec beans ?? I also have one vine with Chasselas grapes , red and green plum trees , apple tree , and a fig tree , here in Ch , Maritime we have had one day of rain in the last two months the temperature today is 30 in the shade . I hope it's cooler where you live .
Thank You for this video! I know you no longer live in Arkansas, but these videos help me as I live in NLR. Lots of other channels are from other places than AR and don't help me at all. i also enjoy your style of communication and you sharing your knowledge from your experience is a joy!
This is the second time I've watched this video and I love it. I'm starting to plan my 2019 spring garden at a new home (lots more room, too) and wonder how you layout your garden. I know you shake things up and plant randomly (not everything the same, together). I'm a compulsive planner and researcher, and a little on the anal side when it comes to laying out my garden (and usually do the boring and not so beneficial way of planting all like things together). I'd really like insight, ideas, and advice on how to plan the random, but beneficial layout for my garden. This coming from the girl who draws layout after layout of the garden on graph paper over the winter to feel like I'm gardening. Lol. Thanks for everything you teach us here and for sharing your life, your family, your faith, and your amazingly beautiful garden.
The main reason for her random gardening is to mess up the bugs. So they don’t attack all of one thing because they are all in one spot. I like that way of thinking😃
I love when I get into a new hobby and find my person on TH-cam and they have years of content that answer ALL of questions. It’s like finding a good show with 6 seasons already. Love this channel.
Not to mention that if you are planting a fall garden, it is nice for the pollinators because there is a "dearth" of nectar and pollen around late summer...with all the goodies that you all (y'all, yinz, youze guys) will be planting in your now "inspired by Jess" fall gardens, it's just making my little bees hearts buzz with happiness!
I always plant my tomato suckers as my second crop, it saves me loads of time vs starting from seed. One tip I've learned, take a glass of water with you to the garden. As quick as I snap the sucker from the parent plnt, I plop it straight in the water, and take that straight to the kitchen window. Our heat in West TN is just too much for the suckers to root well outdoors. I change the water daily, and plant them out as soon as the have roots, just about a week or so
Hi! We have this issue too, in SC. I just wanted to share what has worked for me- I find unruly tomato stems that can be pruned and are over a foot long- then I remove all of the leaves except the top few inches, then use a stake to create a very deep hole, and bury at least 8 inches of the tomato stem. The longer the stem/ deeper you can bury it, the better. That way, the stem has access to cooler moist soil so it can root, even in the heat. I give it a bit of shade for a while with an overturned pot until it starts to take off.
Good luck, hope it helps 😊
One thing I have to say is that you aspire me to do more and learn more. Your passion and enthusiasm are contagious. And you are so knowledgeable. Makes me want to do more and learn more as I have indeed learned a lot from following your videos. Also, what a breath of fresh air to see someone so positive in this day when everyone is seeming to focus on the negatives. Keep up the good work and May God bless your endeavors.
Here I sit and watch this video three years later and your words resonate with me as well!
I love that you explain what a lot of the “gardening terms “ mean. Things like frost date , short season , Frost tender etc
I’m aware you can look them up but it is really nice to have someone actually explain it for those who learn better through hearing vs reading .
I have just moved into a new house and there was no garden. It is actually just an open field and my house is in the middle! It is hard clay and limestone and if I am lucky there are places where at the deepest I have 6" of soil. The wind is exhausting, there are no trees to speak of so it gets hot like the surface of the sun! I also have a very modest budget. I decided to get inspiration from other people. I discovered ROOTS AND REFUGE farm! I am so thankful for your advice and enthusiasm. I don't feel despondent anymore because of the aggressive conditions. I now feel excited about what I can do! I grew up gardening with my mom and for the first time in a long time I feel like I did when I was in the garden with her! Sooo.. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful tutorials... I thoroughly enjoy every one and I admire how you approach gardening for the benefit of your family and the happiness of your heart. This is a long blurb but you make a difference and deserved to hear it!
Try some buckets to start off with or make small raised beds to start. Sounds like you have an open canvas!! Or maybe even a couple wine barrels cut in half double the space
@@monicamissner1115 What a lovely surprise to have you comment on MY comment.. you are the first person who has ever done that! Thank you! And thank you for your very cool ideas.. I have been busy trying to bring things together to make some physical improvements in my garden and I will ABSOLUTELY apply your suggestions. I hope your weather is treating you well and your harvest is rich.
Thanks for your awesome videos! Just a quick observation on fall growing. Days to maturity on seed packets are calculated for spring planting and don't take into account the shorter days of fall. Vegetables grow slower in shorter day length so two weeks should be added to the "days to maturity" to take that slower fall growth into account. :-)
Thank You for the tip Sharon 😁
@@laurenadams8800 I've heard Jess say this too. And other trusted sources. ;)
Thank You Ladies ❤️
That's excellent info...was wondering about that! Thanks!
Homesteading Family recommends dehydrating greens to turn into a “super greens powder” for smoothies
Nice! Thanks!
I also recommended dehydrating root crops, broccoli stems, etc. In slices or chunks for winter soups and casseroles. I even recently made a special blend of the select few veggies my daughter wants in her soup when she makes some ramen style soup for herself.
That’s a great idea!
Don't forget to try cooking and drying the wild crops like lamb's quarters which is more nutritious than spinach.
Brilliant!!!
I realize this video is 2 years old, but I just want to say how inspiring you are. For gardeners who are just starting out this information is very important. I myself have been able to start a garden with the information you have shared and although it is small it is thriving because of the skills I have obtained in multiple videos you have shared. Thank you and God bless you.
Thank you!
I planted zucchini seeds in August because of this video, and we will be having zucchini for dinner tonight in October. I enjoy your videos and the great information you give us. Thank you!
I just discovered you and I'm seriously obsessed. I have definitely been binge watching your videos. You provide the kind of information overload that I live for! I don't need to do an internet deep dive to get all the information I need. You have most of it right here! Love it! ❤
I have planted a sucker from my cherry tomato plant and it is double in size now and producing tons of blooms! It was kind of an experiment and worked great!!
My mom told me her grandfather would take the branches that would be touching the ground. He would put a big rock on them and they would start a new plant right their. Rocks also hold moisture under them.
Jess, thank you.
Enjoy learning & getting inspiration watching your videos. I tinker with growing. I give thanks bc He gives me these items that taste delicious when I plant a seed. ❤️🙏🏼❤️ 💐
I have about 53 plus tomato plants growing. Because of your advice; I have grown a array of varieties. My blackberries are being harvested daily which are a nice treat when checking out what goodies are ready to pick. The Lord blessed us with a good crop of peaches & nectarines.
I have to learn planning. Being a mom of 4 & moving lots kept me from planning & dreaming. Now that I’m busier than ever.... (7 kids & 21 gkids plus church service) the learning of the Word is key to overcoming & enduring life’s craziness.
It’s the peace of all & for all.
I wished that I had this desire of growing a garden when our kids were little. Truth: timing & seasoning. Then give thanks because there is so much to be thankful for.
I see me planting more seeds this fall. We usually have tomatoes late so maybe squash or something more? God only knows; health issues & rain 🙇🏽♀️
God bless
❤️🙏🏼 & a holy 😘 & 🤗’s.
🌹🌻🌺🌸🌼🌷
You have absolutely found your calling. You are a fabulous teacher. Organized, articulate, easy to watch, knowledgeable.... I'm so grateful.
I’m to the point where I’m following every video! Love your garden and learning a lot. Following you on Instagram! I adore your style and all of your adorable dresses 👗
The Walters House she's very inspirational to me. We grew up 40 miles away from her home. I ended up moving away 20 years ago to Wichita Kansas. I get so tickled at her because her accent is so me!! Lol my family teases me when my Arkansas accent comes out. I've been sending them Jesse's videos saying, now I don't feel alone. Then yesterday a man came by from one of the churches here they are having vacation Bible School. I was in the other room but heard his voice. I thought, that man is from Arkansas! I went to the door and he was telling my daughter he was from Arkansas. Lmbo we have a one of a kind accent like no other lol
The Walters House she is darling.
Totally here too.
As far as mental images go, "Tomato armpits" is a rare and beautiful one
I recently found your channel, and I love your content. I just finished my degree in horticulture and am a professional gardener serving veterans. I’m lacking experience as I’m in my first year on the job and second year in my backyard. Thank you for sharing your experiences and practices with us. I’ve been filling my notes with a lot of your recommendations. We are trying to grow 20,000 pounds of food or more with veterans for veterans. I’ll keep watching for more best practices from you and others.
Fall planting seems soooo much less intimidating now, and now I know how to plan for the frost dates. Thank you!
Same Here, Thank You 😊
I've never had a Fall garden before. We live west of you - a few hours. The thought of gardening in pleasant weather is REALLY exciting. THANK YOU.
I've found my new addiction. I really enjoy this channel. Thank you
Hey friend, I praise God for this video. My husband and I are in a lot of debt with little income so I grow some of our food to supplement our income so this video is very timely for me. Thanks lady! ☺️
I'm 60, and hubby is 50, and new gardeners. We have learned so much from your videos. Trellised our squash and cucumbers and still harvesting daily. We roasted radishes for the first time. Because you told us we would plant a Fall garden, we will! We're in Bowling Green, KY. Thank you for everything you do!
Oh my .... I just can't say enough how wonderful you are to be a part of. Thank you for sharing your life.
You’ve inspired me for the upcoming garden season and to plan better for a Fall garden. Fall gardening super extends your harvest and it is the best when I am harvesting leeks and kale in mid-November and carrots in December (carrots covered under a small plastic hoop system over a raised bed). I live in upstate NY as well. Also a great system of storage is your cold garage for months to come such as for leeks, potatoes, beets and winter squash. I harvested leeks in mid-Nov. then just placed them roots down in a 5 gallon pail or Rubbermaid tote (uncovered) and placed in my cold garage and I am still using them in mid-January. My Waltham Butternut Squash are in great shape now, Jan. 11th, as well. So with a Fall harvest you actually still have plants from your garden well into winter and even spring with this low input storage method. If my cold garage gets too cold during really frigid spells I just bring the boxes or pails of veggies down into my warmer basement as needed until the frigid spell breaks. I have also found that I can harvest my bell peppers in mid-October just before first frost and then simply store them in a large cooler with the lid propped open for up to one month using them as needed without them spoiling. Of course they do best stored on a protected cool porch or garage during this time and are fine as long as temps. Don’t get below freezing in the cooler. I have eliminated a lot of time consuming and even expensive processing methods by these simple storage methods.
It is July 7th and I have 132 days until my first frost. We theoretically have 239 frost free days. What a blessing!
Well I was already gonna plant a fall garden but now I'm gonna do more. Love watching you girl you get me excited about things in my garden.
"Nice, frost kissed flavor." I love the way she thinks. Started my fall garden inside yesterday. Hoping we have a longer growing season, like we did last year.
So I totally paused your video and planned my fall garden. Planted the next morning since our frost date is sooner than yours! Came back to finish your video today. Thanks for inspiring me to just do it!!
This is the first time I'm gardening solo and I increased my gardening because of all your awesome videos. Thank you so much!!!!! I'm really overjoyed to have this in my life. Hugs
I have been so encouraged by your passion, your knowledge and your love for Jesus in the garden...You said something in another video I watched that overwhelmed me. And it was something so simple...you water by hand because (in my words) God is there and you can pray and be with Him...I weep sometimes when I'm in mine, thanking Him for what he's given me and the love for the work, His presence, the bugs, the process and how I've grown and the eventual harvest. My garden is nowhere near as productive as yours but you inspire me to keep at it.
Last year I was in Buffalo, NY at this time, in a hospice room with my MIL and everything I worked for died...I live in San Antonio, TX, and tho my son worked to help, it wasn't enough. So we rethought the garden and decided to do raised beds, instead of the ground. My amazing carpenter husband built me beds and we made a fence to surround it out of pallets to keep the chickens out. It's quite the urban garden and one day, my dream is to teach others that they, too, can grow their own food and enjoy God in the Garden...where it all began.
Your videos always encourage me and I am so thankful for you.
Thank you again for taking the time to be who you are!!!
God's best to you,
Green Thumb Genius, an Instagram name my son gave me cuz sometimes things just grow and he is amazed and I am dumbfounded by it.
OMG between you and Laura from Garden Answer, I am so excited to garden again! I will pull out my old cucumber plants tomorrow and start something. I am farther north (northern Illinois) so it might have to be greens but I have a renewed energy to try again. Thanks for your excitement and knowledge!
Leave the "roots" in the soil, as that will enrich the soil and compost all the leaves/greens 👍☺
Could you do a video about overwintering? I’m new to gardening and I’m wondering what we just pull out after their growing season ends, vs what to over winter, how to over winter, and what’s worth over wintering vs what’s not.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into both shooting and editing your videos. Now you add this plant list and links. You are the best and I really appreciate all that you do.
I am getting excited to plant my fall garden. My baker creek order just came in! I have pulled some plants and found a horse farm giving 1yr old poo/shavings away. I went and got a huge load and put it in areas where the fall garden will be. I also have rabbits so I need to gather up some poo and head to the garden. I am working on my raised beds where my peas, carrots and radishes will be. Hopefully I can get them done in time. Watching your videos gives me the push I need!! Thank you!!
Thank you fellow Arkansan for encouraging us. You are such a beautiful lady
I am always in tears when I watch your videos. They are so down to earth and realistic. Wish I could grow to that capacity😣! Small yard and terrible dry soil mixed with a lot of rocks. Thinking about raised beds. Keep the videos comming!!!
A quick cheaper start would be buckets. I grow a ton of my stuff in 10 in buckets i get for free at the flower shop :》
I’m growing in frosting buckets I get from a friend who bakes cakes. They are working out wonderfully
@@darlagips I have those too. I use them to store the veggies in after I have grown and dehydrated them. ☺
Buckets are the best and easy to move around all my tomatoes were in buckets last year and they were huge. I got some from my local bakery at the grocery store and then I went and just bought some at Walmart they’re pretty cheap to buy.
I've grow Chinese cabbage and bok choy in the fall when great success!
Ang Edgington what zone?
I have a crazy idea! Could you do a video about how online seed swaps work and then encourage your listeners to post a list of haves/wants and do a swap in your comments?
Are there particular types of seeds you are looking for? I have a TON of different kinds & would be willing to do a swap. Just let me know! :)
This is my first year gardening. I would love to trade some things! I will type out a list of what I have/want and post it as a reply here tomorrow.
That would be awesome. I'M just starting my seed collection this year. Would be awesome to start one with her subscribers.
Amy Pellicer . Im Just now starting collecting seeds this year. I'd be willing to once I find some varieties I really like. Im new at this organic gardening and see collecting
Amy Pellicer What seeds could you use?
Fall is my favorite time of year to garden! I live in Texas and we just had a day that got up to 113, nothing is growing that well, but fall is when everything takes off with cooler temps, my favorite time to garden is from September through December, plus I love Brussels sprouts and there’s no way I’m growing that in spring and summer here in Texas!
Heather’s Homestead I’m in East Texas small town. Mineola.
The Chicken Coop I’m in Fort Worth :)
👍
@@thebluecottage9952 Do you have a Facebook page? I'm in the Fort Worth area and just getting into learning about homesteading. I would love to see what you've got going on since you're in the same area.
Tiffany Hammond I don’t have a Facebook page specifically for my garden but my Instagram which is just heather Boldt, I show some of what I’m growing/ doing if you’re interested. I’m also in the Fort Worth area!
I'm laying in bed grieving for my dog I put down yesterday, your video is inspiring me to get out of bed and be productive in the garden🖤🌻 thank you so much, I love your videos!
I’m so so sorry for your loss.
Ahhhhh, the summer night sounds are sooooo soothing.
Jess look at you sitting on a blanket right where the pavilion is now! The garden has come such a long way it's really neat to watch the old videos and see the change and where you've come from and the journey along the way
I decided to go back to the start of your families time on you tube while you are preparing for your new adventure, and I have to say I have half a few good giggles! Your herd of two goats! I just thought to myself "you have no idea what is coming!" Lol. It has been nice to see your growth and the positive changes you continue to make after all these years. I feel that sometimes it is good to move forward and learn and sometimes its important to take it back to the beginning and follow the steps. I have been watching your channel since spring and I feel so blessed to have found you! I agree with most, if not all your growing practices and am so grateful for the chance to learn from all your experiments. For me your life on TH-cam is like a great book, I can seem to put you down and I'm learning so much it keeps me hooked. I feel like I jumped into the story in the middle when I randomly started watching this spring and now that you guys are moving I wanted to read this book front to back... If that makes any sense! This video really helped me to realise how much potential growing time we still have and the waste it would be not to take advantage of it! Good luck with your move and I am excited to start the sequel along with your family, I bless you to Jessica.
Started a garden this year after watching your videos. Best thing ive ever done thanx for the motivation
Jess, you're so adorable in this video! Your enthusiasm and positivity just radiate. :)
Just organizing my seeds today to start my fall garden. Five grandchildren are coming over tomorrow to help. Ages 5 to 10. Love it that they want to learn, help, and eat! 🌱🐔🐷🐐
Omg this video is before the pavillion! 😭 Thanks for reminding me about the fall garden, much needed today...
Am now in love with your energy. Thank you so much! Just planted zuchinni and winter squash with 112 days till frost. I am not fond of summer gardening because of the heat, and now I know how to do a fall planting. Wow.
Dude, I was a fan but now I'm a super fan. I'm from Conway too. Born and raised. Now I live in Gainesville, Florida though. I miss it so.
Keep inspiring, the positivity is contagious. :)
I am not a tattoo girl.... but girl.. your artwork is incredible. Such detail and thought. Pssst.. Thank you for all you share and give to us. You are amazing!
You are not just a great gardener but a great mother and great human beaning.
Your energy and health is wonderful to watch. That alone should encourage people to take up growing their own healthy food!
Thank you so much for explaining how to use the almanac and explaining this in a way that people in different regions can still use the information. I always hear an exact date, like “September 25”, and have never even heard of frost dates. This was SO helpful.
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Thanks for the video. Lots of good information. My garden has been incredibly stressed this year by 2 weeks of 100 degree plus temps in May in S.C., but now you have given me hope for the fall garden 😀
Thanks to your tip on using plastic totes to protect lettuce I successfully planted different greens and lettuce last winter. The nights can get down to low 20's but days often warm to 40 and even 50 sometimes. Also had a low tunnel that was protected nicely using heavy plastic. Happy to say I have now been eating fresh veggies from garden for a full year
“Bc it’s July” now is the time in my zone too!!
Don't forget all the pretty things too. Plant asters, ornamental kale, ornamental pumpkins, gourds and ornamental peppers for the fall garden too.
You can also put tomato suckers in water to root them before putting them in the soil. They'll stay healthy as long as you keep the water in there...
I was laughing when you started talking about the tomatoes...I currently have 26 tomato plants growing that are from seeds that I started as experiments back in july through end of august...I hav e15 cuttings from my 1 tomato plant my parents gave me bck in may which was already 8 inches when I got it. Any time I pruned, I stuck the cuttings in water and so far my biggest plANT WHICH STARTED AS A 3 INCH SUCKER is now taller that the mother plant and is planted in a 10 gallon cloth grow..I LOVE ALL of your shows. You are so real and fun but incredibly informative.
My fall and winter garden is the most enjoyable for me. Less bugs, less weeding, less watering, less maintenance around the garden. Plus, I love collards, pork belly, and cornbread. Great video as usual.
Hi, we are new youtuber’s! We are starting a new homestead after losing our home to a fire. This past year has thrown us off. My garden this year is pitiful. I am now thinking about a fall garden! Thanks for the information.
You are so encouraging, seriously calmed me all the way down lol God bless you! Thank you for sharing this and for allowing God to use you in a mighty way, thank you for being you 💕
Gurrrlll so much information! I’m winded just listening to you 😂😂😂. But I’m gonna watch it again and take notes this time. Thanks for all you do! 🤗
My fall garden in Mi. I started in Aug. and Oct. New seeds in Nov. were slow but were up before mid Dec. Covered this area in leaf lettuce and endive. 2-3 coverings of plastic for the winter. the fall garden that wasn’t meant for harvesting after Oct. and Nov. were started in Aug.---Pac choi, endive, kale, lettuce.
Goat manure is cool like rabbit manure and can be used directly in the garden.
We had a late spring and I decided go big or go home! It is my relaxation place. I have learned some things I had forgotten.
I took the year off last year due to family situation. I recovered my container garden boxes and then had a neighbor give some more plants after planting so I had to build another box. You are a lot of fun to listen too and I am convinced to sit and plan a fall garden! Thanks for all you do and share.
Thank you so much Jess for breaking down fall gardening, you really make it a lot easier to plan for!!
Thank you Jess. I just found your Vlog this past spring and I have learned more from you in the past few months than I have learned in 25 years of gardening on my own. I pass along to everyone I know who loves to garden that you are the best source of info. out there, + it's great to watch a cool family thriving on their terms!
Your enthusiasm is still inspiring
Love this topic. You came in just when I’m feeling defeated in my garden due to the heat and now the hurricane expected to drop possibly 20 plus inches of rain right over me. I have hope now that I still have time after all this passes over.
Thanks for all the great ideas.
There is so much valuable information in this video I may have to watch it four or five times! Hit the pause button about 123 times and take many many notes for my garden notebook! Thank you Jess! You are an angel
This was superb! Really makes fall growing approachable for newbies. Doing it in July is brilliant as well. When I'm planning I will often take a gamble on having enough days until the first killing frost. Our weather is so crazy nowadays that you may get an extra month of growing weather and to me, it's worth the price of some seeds and the space that would otherwise be empty if I don't take the chance.
Hello Jess. I just did that with my tomato plants. I cut lots of suckers and replanted them. That way you don’t have to wait for seeds to germinate. Cutting the suckers works much better.
I've been wanting to plant vegetables, but felt stuck because it's the end of the season. Plus I've never really gardener before. This video was practical and actionable and got me farther than hours of prior videos. THANK YOU!! :)
You've got a gift for teaching.
High desert gardening is such a pain! Today, my daytime high is 98, but my first frost risk date is Sept 7th, just 49 days away. :( I have to start heat sensitive things while it's still hot, because the cold comes sudden and hard, here. It's all very tricky. Thank you for all the tips, though, they have really helped my first garden to be successful, even in such a harsh climate as mine. I just bingewatch your channel, now. :)
Darn, You are going to live a long, long time! Keep up your very positive garden knowledge.
Just a consideration. I now live in the Pacific NW, in zone 8. My last frost date is in March and my first frost date is in November, which does give us a very long growing season, BUT, vegetables that need a lot of heat to set blooms or ripen to maturity dont do well here because we dont get enough really hot days. So, for example, while I have even more days until first frost than Jess, most of those early fall days are still going to be cool and tomatoes here probably wouldnt set blooms after the first couple weeks of September. Thought i would mention that is a consideration that i didnt have in zone 8 in the deep south where i did have warmer late summer and fall days. :)
I am in South Louisiana and went to Home Depot to get some Broccoli seeds and Curly leaf Kale was so disappointed to learn that HD sent all their seeds back to the warehouse. I have been to 5 other places searching for seeds. My sweet colored peppers are on their 3 year and I have saved plenty seeds. I enjoyed your video. Thank you for the amazing info.
Thank you for lifting the shroud of mystery over a fall garden. You cleared up a lot of questions I had. Please consider do videos over 2 other topics that I'm not very clear on: Fertilizer requirements for vegetables and companion growing based on soil needs and pest/disease control. Thanks!
In autumn I harvested Hokaido squash. I consumed the last one now. In my cool cellar it was stored over 8 month!
watching this in 2022! This will be my first fall garden and I am so excited about it! Wish me luck
I live in Tn and it has been in the 90"s for weeks, I started to fall garden some time ago. I find the fall garden is more desirable because of the lack of bugs, it is cooler. plants seem to grow better. I plant so many kale that I have to freeze it. Kale is one veg that can withstand snow and still be fine (we don't get a lot of snow) but the kale lives through it... Nice video thank you.
So now I'm inspired to start a Fall garden. We are building a homestead from scratch on 11 wooded acres. While we clear and build the house, we are living in a rental on the edge of town. Great advice in other videos about making that place a classroom and practicing on raising some things so we can get some experience. And I love your ink! You do a great job with your videos. DIY Network needs to give you a show.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, zone 8b. Just subscribed to your Your TH-cam channel. I love the cattle panel growing system for the tomatoes and peppers. We have been growing this way for two years, makes it so much cleaner and easier when harvesting. Love your gardens.
This in my top 10 of favorite videos!!! Thank you so much for this. Blessing you as you prepare to move.
Good information Thanks for sharing! You can also plant garlic, onions and greens under your trees I use apple trees the trees are full and provide protection from frost so can grow later into fall.
Good Morning Jessica

Hi Dreamer Homestead

Hello, I've been wanting to start one, I am very shy. I was hoping I could work thru my shyness by doing a vlog. I don't know how to edit in 53 and the technical train left without me, lol I'd love to try. Im working on talking to my landlord to see if they will let me share crop their empty lot next to me. It would give me a huge amount of room to grow a large vertical garden. Mostly about ground beds because the roots from old Maple trees have taken up the side yard. It would add about 25x60 to my garden. I lost my son last year so it's been a struggle this year with my emotions. Im Doing much better since spring hit. Jess actually really helped bring me out of my depression and into what now is my Hobbit garden lol that's what I call it. It's actually 4 small gardens. 1 flower garden in memory of my son. And 3 small vegetable areas about 10x10 it's really coming along. People stop and comment on my garden. It makes me feel like I've created a tiny vegetable forest lol. Wish we owned the property I'd put more money into it. Im like Jess, a country Gardener, And I love it. I may try doing a few small videos and see if I have what it takes. I don't do well with negative comments and utube is so full of that these days. I do feel like lots of people could relate being on a small property in a large City. And to think, it all started with a pile of leaves. A very good story from my heart. I think if I had a channel, that would be the name of it. It's the story of losing my son and the recovery process I've faced and still facing. I need someone who could critique and edit. My story could help allot of people thru Gardening.
Thanks you for commenting.
God bless

Hi, I'm Jesse from Pueblo Colorado. Gurrl I love you so much. I've been watching your videos since the beginning of the year and you have shared with me so much valuable information and given me some really great ideas. I totally used that arched cattle panel idea and the way it transformed my yard and increased my growing capacity, it's marvelous. I got my garden started really late this year, but that's ok, thanks to you I'm fully prepared for spring 2020. You've gotten me very excited about the fall garden and I'm going to be planning soon. Thank you to you and your family for this channel, y'all work so hard and we really appreciate the info, the passion, the message and the love. Btw I absolutely love Baker creek catalog and their seeds. I have some stunning plants growing from them, my black coat runner beans are gorgeous, and I'm very excited for the melon charentais and melon petit gris de rennes to finish. Anyhow, I just wanted to share some love with you since you've been such a positive force in my life this year. Xoxo from Colorado.
I had such a discouraging day in my small garden, discovering that every zucchini plant has been destroyed by *many* squash vine borers (and it turned out to be too late for "surgery"). I was honestly ready to give up gardening. Thank you for your video and the hope within it
thatpat1 I haven't tried growing patty pans yet. Thank you for the great idea! :-)
I recently found your channel and I absolutely love your garden. Because of your garden with the raised beds and vertical gardening I now have a better idea of how I want my garden next year. I am originally from NJ but live in SC. I am learning the very hard way just how different it is to garden down here. Between the heat and the evil CLAY, lol, I hve had to do a lot of reading and trying new things for my gardens in the coming seasons. Thank you. I hope you have great success in your fall garden. God bless you.
I just found you and was so excited to hear you are a Arkansas girl. I live in Maynard Ar Northeast about an hour from Jonesboro. You have given me the hope of planting a fall garden. You are very inspiring and your devotional of your struggle of the vehicle situation was the first video I seen if you. And wow, I couldn't stop listening to you. What an amazing person you are. Your words hit home for me. Thanks for sharing. God is Good.
I have recently begun watching your videos and I absolutely love all the info you give and the passion you do it with.
I have been toying with the idea over the past two or three months about starting a vegatable garden for our family and God has his ways of talking to us through others. He brought me you and today I was standing in our backyard and my 'mother-in-law' asked what I was doing and I explained to her I was looking to see where I could possibly make a small raised bed for my wife and I tomatoes and cucumbers that we use a lot. Without hesitation she said I could cut back the trees and use a huge part of the back yard!
University of Tennessee has a schedule on their website. We are 7a and there are about 15 vegetables that can be started from seed between July and October.
Bonjour Amy , Thank you for your question well to start with we don't plant tomatoes for a second time in the fall , nor do we have or eat so many different kinds of peppers mostly the bigger green and red ones . In my garden I have tomatoes , red and green salad , French green beans, beetroot , some red potatoes , echallots , demi sec beans ??

I hope it's cooler where you live .
After watching you videos I'm going to start a fall garden thank you
Thank You for this video! I know you no longer live in Arkansas, but these videos help me as I live in NLR. Lots of other channels are from other places than AR and don't help me at all. i also enjoy your style of communication and you sharing your knowledge from your experience is a joy!
This is the second time I've watched this video and I love it. I'm starting to plan my 2019 spring garden at a new home (lots more room, too) and wonder how you layout your garden. I know you shake things up and plant randomly (not everything the same, together). I'm a compulsive planner and researcher, and a little on the anal side when it comes to laying out my garden (and usually do the boring and not so beneficial way of planting all like things together). I'd really like insight, ideas, and advice on how to plan the random, but beneficial layout for my garden. This coming from the girl who draws layout after layout of the garden on graph paper over the winter to feel like I'm gardening. Lol. Thanks for everything you teach us here and for sharing your life, your family, your faith, and your amazingly beautiful garden.
The main reason for her random gardening is to mess up the bugs. So they don’t attack all of one thing because they are all in one spot. I like that way of thinking😃
My favorite fall crops are kale and also cabbage to make homemade kraut . Lemon cucumbers grow well in the fall as well .
