    Hey ya'll, I'm Jess from Roots & Refuge Farm
    Welcome to a place that feels like home. A small farm with a big family. We hope you'll pull up a chair, grab some coffee and visit awhile.
    There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that is exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart - to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we've learned along the way. Welcome to our journey, friend. I am so glad you're here.

    You saying to try the old seeds has blessed me. About 5 yrs ago I got a milk crate of mason jars filled with different marigolds and wild flowers. they were in a back corner of the barn under a bunc hof gardening stuff. The couple had past 10 years prior and due to health did not farm for years before that..... As of this spring I now have those marigolds popping up through out my garden. I do not have my own words for the feeling so I will use yours.. "It warms my heart" beyond any explanation I could give.

    I was feeling rather disheartened about my garden last week. I've been sick multiple times at rather important times this past spring which has put me behind in both seed starting and garden bed making, but yesterday when I was home alone on mother's day because of the nasty cold I have, I got outside to get some vitamins D & G (Vitamin Garden, according to Gardener's World 😉) and the 3 or so hours I spent planting new things, replanting things the chickens dug up, and replanning spaces that I had other plans for but the seeds never came up, my sadness over what wasn't changed into hope for what could be. ❤️😊 Just get outside, it will change you in more ways than you know!

    I have never followed the depth suggested on the pack. I have followed Paul’s theory from Back to Eden gardening. He says plant the seed the depth of the seed. Less struggles for the seed to emerge. Always had great success with that method. He also says to cover the earth or she will do it for you. Let’s talk about the auger. I have used one for the last several years. My son bought a cement drill for me. Slower gears no kick back. It can snap your wrists if your not careful. It made planting so much faster. I transplant into solo cups. My bit is 3” auger. You drill and drop. So quick. It’s a life changer compared to how I use to plant. I always needed help now I plant alone. It’s great.

    Thanks so much Jess for talking about the GreenStalk Mother's Day sale! I lucked out! I got another by accident and they were very nice and let me keep it! I am twice blessed with GreenStalk planters. The one I ordered came on Saturday and another one just showed up today, Monday! I already have the one I got on Saturday planted with strawberries! Thanks to you and of course God! It's so fun to watch you talking about what you're planting in the garden. I think it was Paul Gautschi, the guy that does the wood chip gardening is the one that talked that Nature is modest and she wants to be covered up. He was inspired by God in that nature usually covers herself. That was so fun to watch you plant! I'm going to plant red noodle beans for the first time this year. This was so fun to watch! Thanks Jess!

I always wanted to start a gardening project and was not confident, then just approached the head of our school and offered her a 4 week programme for parents (I typed it out and really encouraged it). I start on Thursday and we have some volunteers that will support in revamping the amazing conservation area and garden so the school can eventually use the food in the school Kitchen and have some edibles for the children while they are playing in the playground.

I still get cold when the air in our house is below 76 degrees! But, when I was in high school, we lived in Wichita, Kansas, and the last winter we were there, it was 15 below zero when we moved, and there was 2.5 feet of snow on the ground -- back in the early 1960's! Now, that's der still.

    I’m trying hard not to be envious of your space because I will never have it. I have 3 2x8 beds and 2 of them have trellises. I am very restricted in what I have room to grow. Even so, it has been such a joy to have kale and collards in the winter, and sugar peas. I’ll have one trellis devoted to my beloved Chocolate Sprinkles cherry tomatoes, the other will host one beefsteak tomato, and cukes. The squash and zucchini get all of the third bed so the can be happy sprawling. Eggplants and peppers are sharing with tomatoes. This will be a better year! I found space in ground for okra and chose Clemson spineless since the Alabama Red didn’t like my grow bags. Oh, and the green stalk is presenting me with THE sweetest strawberries I’ve ever tasted. I’ll fill it with lettuce and collards in the fall. Thanks so much for your encouragement, Jess!

    Oh my gosh! The CANDY ROASTER!!! I grew up in NC, but recently started growing them at my home in SoCal. We leave them on the vine as long as possible to get super sweet, and they are indescribably delicious. We roast them with dinner (as well as making pies) and it is impossible to stop eating them. I am very excited for you to try them

    10 C?!!! I would be shivering in bed lol. It has never been that cold here. I just planted some melons outside but I think they got eaten. Every day I think of something else I can plant and it gets started on my gallery. The okra is now coming up and I cut a plastic bottle to cover them so things don't eat them in the night.

    Jess, I tried growing my summer squash vertically last year for the first time and it seemed to drastically deter the squash bugs. I just put a strong stake in the ground and direct sowing my squash seeds a couple inches from the stake. Then continue to tie the squash vine to the stake as the plant grows and prune the leaves as it grows. Sort of like "main-lining" a tomato plant.

You can keep your warm climate… Everything looks rosy and lovely on TV but…… I can’t ever imagine coming across a tarantula and being OK with that lol! please feel free to send some of your warm weather to the frigid north of Canada with respects♥️

    I'm so excited by the greenstalk planters. Between your channel and a couple others, it motivated me to attempt gardening again after my abysmal fail last year using grow bags. I got the original planter and have a variety of flowers and veggies in it. Then I just ordered a second one because of their mother's day sale thanks to one of your recent videos and got some strawberries and raspberries from Stark Bros. to put in the new one. If this year goes as well as I'm hoping, I'll just keep ordering planters during mother's day (since that seems to be a pretty good deal) each year until I have as many as I can handle. So thanks for the motivation!

    Your garden is so lovely. Thanks for sharing, it's very inspiring. My family and I have also started a small backyard garden. We're learning how to homecan, seed save, make compost, and preserve what we grow. Every penny saved helps. Less than 2 years in our new home and we've completely transformed the backyard. We are beginner gardeners, growing and learning along the way. Recently I started a gardening channel to help encourage others to begin growing as well. No time better than now to learn self sufficiency. Thanks again for sharing, your channel helps me stay inspired and motivated to grow. God bless!

    I woke up to a bit of snow on the ground, and it's 0 right now. A snowy/rainy mix happening outside. It's suppose to warm up again and be 20 Celsius by Monday. I need to watch the night time temperatures and put anything I've bought to plant in the garage. I have two trees and some other plants inside. I don't bother planting until after the 25 of May. So my kitchen is full of seedlings and hanging baskets and other plants waiting to get outside. We actually have rattle snakes in southern Alberta, very windy, hot and dry down there, closer to Montana. I'm in Central Alberta 45 minutes away from the Rockies. Just the common garden snake here. I've yet to see one on our land.
