Here i am 4yrs later, encountering these buggers for the first time. And thought to myself "i wonder if Jess has a video about these?" 🤔 low and behold here you are! They will get neem'd tonight!
Watching little Ben helping you in this older video warms my heart. He's mamas boy for sure. My mama's boy is 22 now and helped me spread mulch in my garden this week. Such a special relationship.
I gave my children their own garden bed. They got to plant it, weed it, harvest it etc. I found it was an EXTREME help to keeping them busy with doing theirs while I took care of the main one. Let them plant fast growing items and cut & come again lettuce. Maybe a cherry tomato. You won't believe how happy they are to have their own. Just a thought.
I do the same thing. I take my little girl out with me in the garden and we work together. She now tells me “I need to get my feet in the dirt”. Makes me feel like I’m raising her right.
Watching these old videos and seeing what faith and obedience manifests. You and Miah are my siblings, the boys my nephews and Malia my niece. No I have never and may never meet you but that’s where you reside in my heart and my head 🙌🏿
Yes, this is the first time I am trying Eggplants and never knew I had Flea-beetles until I started seeing tiny holes in their leaves. I try to pick them off and smash them . Next year, I will start Egg-plants inside so they can grow bigger and get less damage. Your videos are time-less and precious... good job !!
Oh my goodness! He is absolutely adorable! I love his big smile! I like hearing the kids and family in the background! My kids are Always following me out to my garden and wanting to help out. If anyone has any ideas what I can plant that would good for my kids to "help" with. I try to teach them to be gentle around the tender plants that could break easy. But they're kids they want to get into the dirt and go ham digging things and pulling things lol
i have twin boys that will soon be 2 years old. they still dont talk so thats been kinda a hassle for me trying to do things but i am so determined to have garden as wonderful as you got and having my boys (as well as my husband) being a part of. i love your videos so far! you keep things simple and peaceful.
It helps to add just a few drops of ivory liquid soap, or some other mild liquid soap, to help emulsify the liquid and it helps "stick" to the plants better. But only add a very small amount. The soap also helps kill them.
I've used ivory dish soap to kill fire ants for the last few years. With children, crazy dogs, and chickens in my yard I refuse to use poison. The soap works well.
I use ladybugs order on EBay great deal. I keep them in my greenhouses as well, also I have beneficial bug houses in the greenhouse and use cotton balls to feed the lady bugs during Winter. Lacewings are great I ordered the butterfly nets on Amazon and caught them my self in season and release in the greenhouse, also plant flowers and herbs that attract these beneficials
You can make your own flea beetle traps by cutting square of thick cardboard, punching hole on one side, spray paint it yellow, let dry, & then cover both sides & ends with Vaseline & hang with string or wire near affected plant(s). I've never grown eggplants that flea beetles didn't appear out of the clear blue sky & attack. They will also attack other plants
A bit of liquid soap is needed to disburse the neem oil properly to be effective. You're awesome and so helpful with all the great tips you've shared. Thank you!! God bless!!
Instead of spraying everything use a trap crop somewhere in the corner away from all your veggies. I have found that broccolini the flea beetles cannot resist it. I don't grow the broccolini to eat or sell I use it strictly as a trap where I then spray just the flea beetle I never grow anything else on that little patch. Works great for me
Wow! Jess, visiting this vlog from 5/10/20 and I am simply amazed at all of the things/projects you guys have completed in the last year! 👀 the window greenhouse, the cottage garden, the pavillion and so much more!! Your family is a Force!! So proud for y'all!
I'm watching this video after having watched your "Infinitely More" devotional, and I'm tearing up right now seeing all those beautiful raised beds, just knowing what their existence means to you.
I’m so inspired by you. This will be my 4th year to have a garden. I’ve always transplanted store-bought plants in the spring, but this year, after watching your videos, I’m going to try to do my own seedlings. Thanks for educating us on what you’ve found that works. I’ll be doing the cattle panels this year, too, so maybe cucumbers will be better for me this time around.
The neem oil you are using has the azadiractin removed during the processing ..... the very stuff needed to kill flea beetles. You need 100% cold pressed neem oil . You also need to use a little dish soap (I use Dawn) to allow the oil to mix with the water. Shake the canister/sprayer occasionally to keep mixing. What you mix has to be used right away, because neem breaks down very fast. Here is a link/video to what I'm passing along to you. Take care ..... hope this clarifies anything I've typed here. th-cam.com/video/RbQrawiKAKE/w-d-xo.html
If you want the neem oil to really work good you need the cold pressed neem oil with azadirachtin. That extract like you showed that you buy at the stores doesn’t have the azadirachtin which is the chemical that works on the chewing insects. Also that kind isn’t organic and has chemicals in it. I buy my cold pressed neem from the rusted garden online.
I am learning so much from you by going through your videos! I have a Roma tomato plant and I wish I would have known about that pruning tip before now! I'll have to remember that for next time 😊
You are precious! Thank you for your tips on the flea beetles. I watched another video before this where someone mixed diatomaceous earth with water and sprayed their plants for sow bugs. I wonder if I could mix the two (Diatomaceous Earth and Neem Oil and spray my plants. I mainly have sow bugs eating my seedlings, but there are a few plants that have the small holes all over the leaves of my spoon tomatoes. What do you think?
Those things come in handy!!!! I mix my vinegar, salt and soap for the sidewalk weeds. Flee beetles must be what's eating holes in my horseradish leaves every year, just tried an herbal concoction, if that doesn't work I think I'll have to get me some neem oil - if it works for you 😉 Borage seems to be a favorite for Japanese beetles, I pick of a lot every evening. Your garden is huge!!!! Love how you involve your kids! AND that trough, I thought I should get one and use as bathtub - or when the grandkids come (so much better than a kiddy pool).
Your garden is looking great! Within a week the flea beetles decimated my mature turnip greens and I lost about 50% of the harvest. Little devils. So I'm definitely picking up some neem oil the next time I go to town for future battles lol. I'm pulling the tomato suckers and rooting them in hopes of a fall harvest. We'll see how it goes. Wishing you guys a healthy harvest!
Neem oil didn't do anything for me, nor did another recipe involving rubbing alcohol. What did work was Safer Insecticidal Soup (Organic), and placing bowls (old frying pans in my case) with water and some of the insecticidal soap under the plants in addition to spraying. It also keeps the mosquito's down.
do you spray your neem on the leaves and the diatomaceous earth on the ground sprinkled? Do you put a good amout or just a sprinkling of the DE? I have an infestation of flea beetles starting and need to get this going. I have neem and a hose dial in sprayer but not sure if that'll work. I think so. I might just use the pump sprayer also so I know it's working. Do you use the spray on the ground under too or no? I know that sounds dumb but I have a line of 20 tomatoes, ten and ten in rows and could do that or the DE easily. I have peppers also so need to do them also.
I have a lot of plants in my house can you get flea beetles in your house I been seeing them everywhere each room beds I seen one crawling I don’t wash my plants or anything I’m scared if one crawls in my hair pls helppppp
This throwback was worth the watch just for Baby Benjamin and the first look at the garden door. 🌻

Oh my goodness Ben is so cute and precious and little!
I found that Nasturtiums attract the flea beetle above all so you can use them as bait. Wise words on doing it all with little ones. 💙
LifeGoesNorth .try broccolini will even attract them away from your nasturtiums
I gave my children their own garden bed. They got to plant it, weed it, harvest it etc. I found it was an EXTREME help to keeping them busy with doing theirs while I took care of the main one.

You old garden is so inspiring
Soo crazy to look at the old videos and see the garden before it was what you left Jill.
Watching these old videos and seeing what faith and obedience manifests. You and Miah are my siblings, the boys my nephews and Malia my niece. No I have never and may never meet you but that’s where you reside in my heart and my head 🙌🏿

It's so neat to see the change in your garden over the years

Not one of those sprayers ever had worked more than once for me.
You two are great parents

Aww!! Little Ben!!! I’ve been watching y’all for the past year and a half and this oldie popped up today!! 💗 y’all!
I use ladybugs order on EBay great deal. I keep them in my greenhouses as well, also I have beneficial bug houses in the greenhouse and use cotton balls to feed the lady bugs during Winter.

Thank you for sharing your experiences on your Homestead both animal, garden and general trials and wins😃👍🏽👏🏼

Wow great tip!
Awesome! Start them young in the garden. That is why I do what I do today! My grandma had me out there when I was that little!

You might want to use Neem Blitz on Amazon. It has a high azadirachtin content. And you need a mild soap with that to emulsify it.
How cute is Ben in this video! It's fun to see how he grew up so far.
Instead of spraying everything use a trap crop somewhere in the corner away from all your veggies. I have found that broccolini the flea beetles cannot resist it. I don't grow the broccolini to eat or sell I use it strictly as a trap where I then spray just the flea beetle I never grow anything else on that little patch. Works great for me
It's such a joy to see your Garden grow and how you have expanded things and I just love the pink door to your garden. Love all the colors. 6/22/2020

I had no idea! I am moving my borage to my tomatoes this year then and might get extra seed!
I'm watching this video after having watched your "Infinitely More" devotional, and I'm tearing up right now seeing all those beautiful raised beds, just knowing what their existence means to you.

Yes! Give the kids the knowledge to help and they'll do it! Great!
Awesome! I start my day in the garden also! Beat the heat! Thanks for all the great stuff you share with us!
Great smile, Ben love his delight in that thing!

You can amend your soil after planting. Who ever told you you couldn't? Just dissolve it in water and water the soil.
To have your child help you with non toxic stuff and of course cannot hurt>I think it's a learning experience in so many ways :D

Neem oil didn't help my garden with flea beetles. I also put DT on them and that didn't work either.
So much cuteness!!!
Good Morning
Your little helper is so cute 🌸🌸🌸🌸I am having problems with squash bugs 💚💚💚Been spraying them with organic I Pray it works 💕💕God Bless💕💕💕
SO THATS WHAT MAKES LACE ON MY LEAVES !!!!! Thank You !! I’m new here and learning SO Much !!! Xoxox Debra in California 🌸
Please don't use neem oil. It's toxic.
Can you give us an update on your eggplant.
I finally got some Neem oil this year...hoping it will help with all the aphids & white flies I seem to get!
I love your chalk board!!!
They are too dang cute!
Loved this and it’s good for us all to be back in the growing season again !! Hoping the neem oil works a treat 🤥💚🌱🌿
Hey how do you edit your videos? And add music? Any guidance would be fantastic

What does this attract?
God's little ones are our mirror images. What you want to do they will also want to do. As you said MOST times it is very rewarding.
God Bless Joe
This may be a dumb question but I've never used neem oil before. Does it affect the taste of the produce?
They're after my eggplant! Never seen so many as this year...
Did the Borage plants help keep the worms away?
do you spray your neem on the leaves and the diatomaceous earth on the ground sprinkled? Do you put a good amout or just a sprinkling of the DE? I have an infestation of flea beetles starting and need to get this going. I have neem and a hose dial in sprayer but not sure if that'll work. I think so.

❤❤❤❤❤
Did the treatment work to kill the flea beetles?
Hello
You always "out yourself " ...lol 😂
Neem oil has been band in Canada.
What organic mixture do I need for my apple trees and my peach trees
I never get peaches because of the worms getting inside them
I have a lot of plants in my house can you get flea beetles in your house I been seeing them everywhere each room beds I seen one crawling I don’t wash my plants or anything I’m scared if one crawls in my hair pls helppppp
I know this video is over a year old but does neem oil help with Japanese beetles?
What do you folks do about gophers and rabbits?! I'm losing my mind!
Plant lettuce and radish
How do you spell kneemoil?
Sorry to be so wordy, hah!
Way too much rambling and background noise, sounds like u just woke up too...thumbs down
