I have no words to tell you how much I appreciate these planting/planning videos. Just going through your thought processes help me get in that groove AND avoid pitfalls. To those people who say don’t over explain...I say: don’t act like a heifer!! Lol.
Not many, but there are some schools that are starting this. Usually it happens because a parent (or several) agree to help with making the raised beds and getting seeds donated helps too!
We are so lucky our small traditional Montessori school has their own garden and gardening camps during the summer. The kids make salads for lunch. It’s awesome and I wish more schools did this. Its an amazing learning opportunity.
You are an energetic, passionate and loveable home gardener. I think I found my sister by another mother! Keep it up kiddo! We're right there with ya! My Peas are in, so are some Radishes. This morning I went to plant some Lettuce and dropped 3 packages on the floor. I went and put in a new vacuum cleaner bag & vacuumed them little dudes right up, removed the bag & marched out to the garden. I ripped a hole in the bag & proceeded to shake the bounty over the bed. That was the easiest lettuce planting ever. LOL
Reminds me so much of my little grandson. He was 2 the first time we planted outside. He'd bury and pat every seed and say night night baby. I miss those early years so much when he spent summers with me. Best memories ever
I've often taken photos with my cell phone to help preserve my memory, but I've never considered making a short video! Genius! Now I am off to video how to properly thread my sewing machine...
I do everything alphabetically. Example: my radish row goes Cherry Belle, Sparkler, Watermelon, White Icicle. Once I had children things leave my brain so quickly! This helps so even if I didn’t write it down that day I can remember what’s what.
I love how Ben helps you to plant and work with the plants. There is so much joy in him. My kiddos never had that kind of interest. It makes my heart happy to watch your family.
I told my wife about you all's channel during our date night and how refreshing it is to here you close every video with "God bless you", it is just very nice. Thank you for sharing you day.
Oh you have the sweetest little garden helper ever! There will come a day when those tiny hands will become bigger than yours and when he plants his own seeds he will say “I think of my mom when I plant now”! You are a true treasure and your unique style just shines!
This was fun. I went back in time today to watch some spring planting videos. Today is 2/18/2023. Oh my word, if someone would have told you on the day this video was recorded, all of the blessings you were going to receive in order to bless so many more than you ever imagined, you wouldn't have believed it. ❤
That is so awesome. I may use blinds too. We have those big wide vertical ones but we just keep putting ducktape at the top so we don't have to go out and buy new ones yet. lol
I had so many of my labels fade not even 2 months into the grow season the last few years. My labels I picked up in Germany came with a pencil so I used it one day and said to myself, "Oh that's why it came with them". lol
@@TheGardeningArtist that is definitely something worth doing. I actually went out and bought cheap mini blinds for making the labels. I like that I can make them tall to accommodate my handwriting and the info I want to refer back to later on.
I just found your channel recently and throughly enjoy each episode. I live in East Tennessee so much of your plants also grow well here. The little four year old was so precious helping you with the peas. Working together with your husband and children is something our world needs. You seem to really enjoy your life and I enjoy that you share it.
I love that you are OK with kids being kids and playing with things. You just figure out how to get what you need without them disrupting what you need.
Yay! Seeds in the ground! 👏👏👏 Love watching you plan it out- It totally makes sense to me!! Also- your curls look gorgeous today!! Love that hair style. 🤗
hi.......What a wonderfully informative video. ...loved it and learned a lot .........thank you......your gardening makes sense to me. Blessings Always
I have so enjoyed watching your videos. This old lady feels like you are a friend. And hopefully we are preparing to move. If we get the place I love it has a greenhouse and enough land that I can have a garden again.
You want to know all about the weather? The local coffee shop in a small town farming community is better than The Weather Channel or any weather app you might have...BUT BEWARE, you might have to wear tall boots because sometimes the mannure gets pretty deep amongst the stories! LoL :-)
Rain or no rain go ahead plant the carrots, then place a wide board over them. After a week raise the board and check. If they have spouted remove board, if not replace till they they are established.
Watching you planting seeds with your 4 year old son is just precious. I must say I am super jealous that you are already planting things outside while here in NY we are barely getting over 40 during the days. I have your videos for inspiration.
I wish I had a great helper to put seeds in their holes! You are so right about gour kids one day wanting, appreciating and longing for your cooking. All I wanted growing up was a store-bought cake and finally got it, in my teens...DISAPPOINTMENT!! How I long now for anything my mom cooked and what great memories are brought back by certain foods.
So exciting to see you planting your spring peas. I absolutely love watching you and your family on the homestead. Every little nugget of wisdom I get is precious to me and since I still have several feet of snow in my garden, I am living vicariously through you. 🌱💕
HOW CUTE HES UR LIL PARTNER IN PLANTING... ENJOY IT WHILE U CAN CUZ THEY GROW UP SO FAST AND THEN R TOO COOL 😥 I dont know though Cuz I have a feeling He caught the Planting Bug! He literally is jumping for Joy to get them seeds in! Such a Sweet Baby!!!! God Bless u and ur Fam
Iove your thoroughness & information I now understand how exciting it is to watch little one's get so excited about seeing seeds coming up threw the ground. My oldest grandson helped me plant a bunch of stuff last week. He came back yesterday and was so excited when I showed him his veggie seedlings in our cold frame & a couple of the beds.
I *love* when you go in depth and step-by-step. I used to garden with my grandfather when I was a child, but by 13yo we'd moved away and I've forgotten a lot. I appreciate the refresher and the tips and tricks. Thank you!
Being able to have fresh vegetables right out of the garden will make your kids healthier adults. Many kids don't appreciate it until they get older and have to buy their veggies out of a store. It's just not the same! I remember one time, at the peak of our garden, Mom made seven veggies to go with dinner! Love that fresh-picked taste!
Just recently found your channel and I’m obsessed! Going back and watching every single video lol. My fiancé and I bought a 10 acre acreage about a year ago and this year I’m going to have my first ever vegetable/fruit garden, soooo excited. Still freezing here in Canada though so just lots and lots of planning right now. Thanks for all your awesome knowledge! 💕
I'm going out to plant the radishes I picked up at the Gathering! Jess, your mistakes validate the rest of us who do the same thing. Makes us feel just normal gardeners just like you. Love ya girl!
Jess, I appreciate that you show your methods and YOUR reasoning. Please know that it may seem elementary, but it's so helpful to see. Thank you, thank you! Happy Birthday to whoever is having a birthday!
Lol. HI BEN! You’re such a great helper! Great idea and such a space saver! Any flower seeds planted? Love your garden, Jess! What are the kids going to grow this year? Thank you for sharing.
Maybe you could put a number sign,like the ones you put on your house,on each garden bed and then it would be helpful when making the diagram on paper of where you planted what.or you could just paint a number on the end of each bed
Your idea for using the space in your beds makes sense to me. When I am in a place where I can garden I will follow your way of making the most of the garden beds for sure. Of course I won't have as long of a grow period of you, but will make the most of it here. I can't wait to see your new green house. I bet it will be beautiful. I love to visit your garden with the wind chimes singing and all the beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing with us.
I just have to write after watching this video. Im living up in the snowy cold mid minnesota. I went to walmart today bought some root plants, some soil. Have the seeds. Cant wait to plant. Have to wait till April 1st. If we lived closer i would offer to come and help /or just maybe watch, because it looks like you got a great plan, and the weather to cooperate. Im getting to the point where cold and snow are getting old. Havent stopped thinking about jim and rhendas place. We have children and grandchildren in joplin. Who knows what God's plan is. Keep doing what you are doing you are blessing people, like us, out in the vast world. Take care and God Bless. Linda
Man I thought you were going to slip up and let us get a Sneek peak at that greenhouse lol!!! Oh well I'm excited to see the finished product! The video reminders is something like I do as well as drawing up a quick rough draft of the garden and write down what was planted where. I thought about those really cute painted rocks but then I remembered my 3 girls would go out and admire them and place them wherever they wanted rather than where they were so I would get all turned around haha!
happy birthing day to you too Jess. Will done mummy! Haha even though you torture those sweet children with nutritious organic home grown food raised from seed by your very hands, rain hail and shine.... Im happy to hear they get *white* bread and pizza From A Shop for birthdays. If the sparkle in their eyes is half as bright as the way our boys look at a pizza box, you will have had a glorious night. Xxx Happy birthday Toby and Ben xxx
Oh I'm so jealous! I'm in southern Ontario and we still have snow on the ground and -9C (about 16F). I can't wait to start getting my garden beds ready.
Not so cold in all of Canada Jess. Nova Scotia has plus 6, snow is less than a foot thick. Vancouver has flowers Blooming! Just been extra cold in Central Canada this winter as well as upper central US! 😉
This reminded me that I need to pick up radish seeds to plant! I love how you maximize your space and do what works for you. Totally smiling at the screen like a big idiot lol.
Your videos are gold! I’m a new gardener and I have learned more from your videos then my own google search (thanks to ADHD, I get distracted easily) You somehow capture my attention and I learn so much from your talks!!!!
Benny is such a good helper. He will make a good gardener. I am so jealous that you have Miah to help you in the garden. Thanks for the tip of using blinds for markers.They are so easy to make. Girl you need a pair of gloves. The soil ruins your nails. Liked the video.
Always love your posts. I plant kinda the same way just pour the seeds out and let em grow. No sense of borders of organization..lol Just enjoy the benefits! God Bless
Lol my 4 year old grandson is so excited for planting time. Every time he comes out he says grandma can we plant now? I bought some dragon tongue beans red okra.... dragon claws and a few other kid exciting things so they want to be in the garden
I use the plastic markers for my seedlings, but love using wood shims in my garden! They are seriously inexpensive and so good-looking in the garden! The garden marker writing holds up better/longer than it does on plastic and they have an organic appearance, like they belong there.
I grew up on a mini farm. No goats but had chickens, ducks, cows calves and variou cats &dogs. My dad was ahead of his time regarding wholesome feed for the cows. We had wonderful steaks and as kids we didn't realize how good we had it, also running out to a field and eating pea pods, carrots, tomatoes, right out of the garden. We were going to celebrate and my father said what would you guys like me to cook. All 4 of us told my father McDonald's! Why? He asked. Cause it's store bought! We said.
We are still buried in snow here in North central WI!!! I get so anxious watching you plant outside!! Love your videos and your wnwrgy!! You are an awesome teacher!!
Jess are you leaving the dirt and seeds exposed for the rain tonight? If I leave the soil exposed it washes away. Seeds move and run off. I found some chopped straw bagged and its really find and nice for dusting a bit on the seeded areas to keep the rain from undoing all the work and loosing seeds. I hope we dont have a big downpour. I am hoping to get my beds filled before long but as soon as I do...I gotta cover them....One year we put some compost on a tarp in a big heap and it rained a lot that night...didnt cover it or the cover blew off etc...next thing I knew...I had a pile of sand...no dirt...so so sad. I never forgot that one. It was a hard lesson. But I agree...weather watching is big several times a day...and sometimes thats not even enough. AR weather changes like crazy.
I love your videos and channel. I kind of think of gardening as a lot of things to over come and figuring it out the best you can. Thankfully most gardeners are wonderful at sharing ideas and we kind of figure it all out together.
I have no words to tell you how much I appreciate these planting/planning videos. Just going through your thought processes help me get in that groove AND avoid pitfalls. To those people who say don’t over explain...I say: don’t act like a heifer!! Lol.
I wish schools would add a gardening class involved so the children could do this hands on and learn❤
Not many, but there are some schools that are starting this. Usually it happens because a parent (or several) agree to help with making the raised beds and getting seeds donated helps too!
My mom is a teacher and she did this for her students for several years. 😃
Huffman in Anchorage has a fairly significant garden program. Kind of interesting since their outside gardening season is so short.
We are so lucky our small traditional Montessori school has their own garden and gardening camps during the summer. The kids make salads for lunch. It’s awesome and I wish more schools did this. Its an amazing learning opportunity.
Karen D I remember planting radishes outside our class in first grade. Awhile ago 😉😎
That little hand covering the whole and tapping down the soil, was so precious!
Yes it was. A little pro.
That's exactly what I was gonna say. So, so precious!
You are an energetic, passionate and loveable home gardener. I think I found my sister by another mother! Keep it up kiddo! We're right there with ya! My Peas are in, so are some Radishes. This morning I went to plant some Lettuce and dropped 3 packages on the floor.

That was the easiest lettuce planting ever. LOL
I LOVE this story so much!
Is there any way subscribers can request that we take the grow lights off of Ben? He has grown up so much since I started watching!
haha he is such a delightful lil guy and so helpful in the garden.
You: "It's time...to plant the peas!"
Him: "YES!"
His enthusiasm is precious!
Happy birthday to Toby and Ben may all their wishes come true. Love your family and TH-cam ❤️❤️❤️🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Reminds me so much of my little grandson. He was 2 the first time we planted outside. He'd bury and pat every seed and say night night baby. I miss those early years so much when he spent summers with me. Best memories ever
Sooo "precious"!
That is what this community is all about.
I've often taken photos with my cell phone to help preserve my memory, but I've never considered making a short video! Genius! Now I am off to video how to properly thread my sewing machine...
I do everything alphabetically. Example: my radish row goes Cherry Belle, Sparkler, Watermelon, White Icicle. Once I had children things leave my brain so quickly! This helps so even if I didn’t write it down that day I can remember what’s what.
Now that's a great idea!
Benny is the sweetest bestest little garden helper EVER! My heart can't handle the cuteness. Your baby baby is adorable.
I love how Ben helps you to plant and work with the plants. There is so much joy in him. My kiddos never had that kind of interest. It makes my heart happy to watch your family.

Warms my heart when you say, "someone mentioned that I use a pencil knowing you are speaking of me" he he he. I love your channel. God Bless!
Guess what? I started using a pencil because of this suggestion, too. And I'm using cut up mini blinds...lol! What a genius idea!
That is so awesome. I may use blinds too. We have those big wide vertical ones but we just keep putting ducktape at the top so we don't have to go out and buy new ones yet. lol
I had so many of my labels fade not even 2 months into the grow season the last few years. My labels I picked up in Germany came with a pencil so I used it one day and said to myself, "Oh that's why it came with them". lol
Also i bet you could use sand paper to ruff up the blinds to make it a better writing surface too. I'd use a fine grit.
@@TheGardeningArtist that is definitely something worth doing. I actually went out and bought cheap mini blinds for making the labels. I like that I can make them tall to accommodate my handwriting and the info I want to refer back to later on.
My heart exploded with love when I saw his tiny hand gently put soil over the pea!!!
You have done such an amazing job involving him!!!!!!!
I just found your channel recently and throughly enjoy each episode. I live in East Tennessee so much of your plants also grow well here. The little four year old was so precious helping you with the peas. Working together with your husband and children is something our world needs. You seem to really enjoy your life and I enjoy that you share it.
I also live vicariously through you! I wish I were younger because the homestead life is for me! Can'twait for the greenhouse reveal!
I love that you are OK with kids being kids and playing with things. You just figure out how to get what you need without them disrupting what you need.
Yay! Seeds in the ground! 👏👏👏
Love watching you plan it out- It totally makes sense to me!!
Also- your curls look gorgeous today!! Love that hair style. 🤗
Thank you!
It warms my heart to see Ben work so consciously.
You don't know how excited I get watching these videos Jess, your joy for gardening is infectious :)
hi.......What a wonderfully informative video. ...loved it and learned a lot .........thank you......your gardening makes sense to me. Blessings Always
I love listening to your wind chime while you plant. So relaxing!
Mary Miller ...and I LOVE the birds chirping occasionally! Peacefully cheerful 😏😍

Your little boy is too adorable!!!
Greetings and best wishes to You and Your Family !!
The most beautiful childhood memories.....❤️❤️❤️
I'm going out to plant the radishes I picked up at the Gathering! Jess, your mistakes validate the rest of us who do the same thing. Makes us feel just normal gardeners just like you. Love ya girl!
What a wee sweetheart, you guys are TrueType blessed
Love that he helps you in the garden! And the chimes in the background sounds beautiful.
great job Ben.. Jess you are gonna make a farmer out of him yet... God bless you and your sweet family..
I love watching you in your garden .
If your radishes bolt, and go to seed, the seed pods are edible, and they are delish! Great in a salad.
Such a sweet video, between your little man helping to plant, and you giving your son his birthday meal, just wonderful. ♥️
Lol! We all have dropped seeds at one time or another, this just makes you human. Have fun this weekend! This was fun!
I’m sure you heard this before, but it doesn’t hurt to hear it Again you are really good at this.
Thanks for the “over explanation”! To the others....get out of here you heifers 🤪
He's so adorable!!! Bless his heart!
Jess, I appreciate that you show your methods and YOUR reasoning. Please know that it may seem elementary, but it's so helpful to see. Thank you, thank you! Happy Birthday to whoever is having a birthday!
I thought I was the only one obsessed with checking the weather! Thanks for letting me know I'm not nuts! LOL
Some of the simpler/more obvious things are also some of the easiest to forget. Nothing wrong with a reminder.
such a sweet lil helper mom, and I enjoy hearing your wind chimes. thnx for sharing
Lol. HI BEN! You’re such a great helper! Great idea and such a space saver! Any flower seeds planted? Love your garden, Jess! What are the kids going to grow this year? Thank you for sharing.
I absolutely love your garden layout! I’m learning a lot from you Abdul it’s So nice that your son is a farmer too🤗💖🌈
Happy Morther's day. Thanks for all the great inspiration!

Loving how you guys work together and cannot wait to follow your garden as it develops!
We love you. They always keep it real and just go with the flow
Thank you for cleaning up the lemon balm. It was so satisfying to see.
Love your energy and attitude! God bless you and the family and I look forward to watching y’all a lot more! ❤️
Ben is a GEM!!!
I just have to write after watching this video. Im living up in the snowy cold mid minnesota. I went to walmart today bought some root plants, some soil. Have the seeds. Cant wait to plant. Have to wait till April 1st. If we lived closer i would offer to come and help /or just maybe watch, because it looks like you got a great plan, and the weather to cooperate. Im getting to the point where cold and snow are getting old. Havent stopped thinking about jim and rhendas place. We have children and grandchildren in joplin. Who knows what God's plan is.
Keep doing what you are doing you are blessing people, like us, out in the vast world.
Take care and God Bless.
Linda
Man I thought you were going to slip up and let us get a Sneek peak at that greenhouse lol!!! Oh well I'm excited to see the finished product! The video reminders is something like I do as well as drawing up a quick rough draft of the garden and write down what was planted where. I thought about those really cute painted rocks but then I remembered my 3 girls would go out and admire them and place them wherever they wanted rather than where they were so I would get all turned around haha!
Ben is just the gosh darn cutest! I cannot wait to be doing this with my kids one day :)
I appreciate all the planting tips! Have a great time with Danny and Wanda at Deep South Homestead!
happy birthing day to you too Jess. Will done mummy! Haha even though you torture those sweet children with nutritious organic home grown food raised from seed by your very hands, rain hail and shine.... Im happy to hear they get *white* bread and pizza From A Shop for birthdays. If the sparkle in their eyes is half as bright as the way our boys look at a pizza box, you will have had a glorious night. Xxx Happy birthday Toby and Ben xxx
Oh I'm so jealous! I'm in southern Ontario and we still have snow on the ground and -9C (about 16F). I can't wait to start getting my garden beds ready.
Northern Ontario here, it was -22°C this morning. Living vicariously through these southern homesteading vlogs.
Yes love our Canadian weather we are dying to all get out there
@@melodieeab You are the same as my son. It has been a bitter cold winter.
Not so cold in all of Canada Jess. Nova Scotia has plus 6, snow is less than a foot thick. Vancouver has flowers Blooming! Just been extra cold in Central Canada this winter as well as upper central US! 😉
This reminded me that I need to pick up radish seeds to plant! I love how you maximize your space and do what works for you. Totally smiling at the screen like a big idiot lol.
Your videos are gold!
I’m a new gardener and I have learned more from your videos then my own google search (thanks to ADHD, I get distracted easily)
You somehow capture my attention and I learn so much from your talks!!!!
Benny is such a good helper. He will make a good gardener. I am so jealous that you have Miah to help you in the garden. Thanks for the tip of using blinds for markers.They are so easy to make. Girl you need a pair of gloves. The soil ruins your nails. Liked the video.
Always love your posts. I plant kinda the same way just pour the seeds out and let em grow. No sense of borders of organization..lol Just enjoy the benefits! God Bless
Lol my 4 year old grandson is so excited for planting time. Every time he comes out he says grandma can we plant now? I bought some dragon tongue beans red okra.... dragon claws and a few other kid exciting things so they want to be in the garden

I love watching you goofy Gardner 🤣🥰 Thank you!
I can relate lol. I call myself the post it girl. Good gravy. Your son is adorable and so helpful. Blessings
Pizza and Hot Dogs are just good for the soul once in awhile. :-)
Thank you so much! I soooo enjoy your videos, I have learned so much from watching you!!
Tina English me too. 👏🏽💕😊

Jess are you leaving the dirt and seeds exposed for the rain tonight? If I leave the soil exposed it washes away. Seeds move and run off.

and Happy Birthday to your birthday boys.. God Bless..
Planting season has begun! Yay!
I love your videos and channel. I kind of think of gardening as a lot of things to over come and figuring it out the best you can. Thankfully most gardeners are wonderful at sharing ideas and we kind of figure it all out together.
Love the wind chimes! Also, love your curls in the rain!
I dropped a bunch of my St. Victor leak seeds while sowing them last week. I about had a heart attack. lol
Your helper is a natural!
Pretty sure you couldn't hire better help. So sweet!❤
I'm totally a noob at gardening. I really appreciate and enjoy your more in depth guides. Thank you so much!! And happy birthday to the boys!!
I’ve always done the same thing with the sticks and this year my daughters have their own garden beds and I’ve noticed them doing it too 😊
We love to involve our kids too-they love it and it's such a great experience for them!
I can barely contain myself! Living vicariously through you and all those seedlings lol I am hoping to catch your live this Sunday
I am too ! I wonder what her soil temps are ? We still have snow on the ground.
PNWgardenergal Warmer than Canada LOL
I planted French breakfast radishes thanks to you. I’ve never cared for the burn of them but want too try your method of roasting them.
Let me know what you think!
Dandelion acre, I’m doing the same. My husband likes radishes but I don’t. So, going to try roasting them too.
