Hi, I'm new to your channel & just wanted to let you know I could watch you all day. You are so calming & sweet. Just wanted to encourage you to continue with your garden & channel. Thanks
Hi 👋🏾! Awww thank you so much! I definitely plan to continue! I got a little overwhelmed with all the new subscribers but I’ve shook it off now. Thanks again 🤗
As a girl from Brooklyn, I just want to say your garden brings me so much pride and joy. There’s nothing more beautiful than seeing someone who looks like me, from BK doing her thing ❤❤
Awwww thank you 🤗
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomesteadfrom Brooklyn here too!! Love your beautiful garden!
Hi in Trinidad we call roselle sorrel the fruit is boiled with spices like cinnamon, bay leaf and glove to make juices (add sugar according to your preferences) the fruit can also be used to make jams or jellies. Ensure you remove the pit of the fruit and just use the petals of the fruit. Hope this is helpful. 😊 I do enjoy your videos.
So glad that I found your channel. I use to think that I couldn't garden because of the small space I have. You have showed me that this is simply not true. I am so excited to do more research and start my garden next year! Thank you for the motivation!
FYI: sometimes ants can be a sign of those annoying pests called Aphides. They suck the sap of trees and plants which can damage them. They leave behind a sticky "sweet" residue ...which attracts the ants. Cant stand them!
I’m so happy to hear that! Good luck with your research and happy planting/gardening!
I do have. Some aphids. I kinda let my ecosystem take care of things. It is frustrating at times but they haven’t taken a plant out so I let them be lol. I do the “let it be “ thing a lot in my garden 🤦🏾♀️🤣.
How eggciting your young chickies are beginning to lay. And I'm wondering have you tried the sweet potato leaves yet, just cook like spinach with garlic and onion soooooo good, loving your progress in the garden and watching you learn to preserve too, inspiring me even more.
It’s very eggciting! I have tried the sweet potato leaves. I’m not a lover of spinach but they were good. I’d eat them again! Thank you! I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos! I learn something new every day!
Thai basil is my new favorite. I just put my basil in ice trays with a little water and freeze it. Then put it in a zip lock.
O ok cool! I’ll have to try that. Do you do anything else to it before freezing?
I get such joy out of seeing the incredible variety and beauty in the garden.👍
I always enjoy your garden tours.😊 It seems like the season flew by, and I'm seeing forward to Autumn.🌱
Glad to hear. It really does. Fall is definitely on my mind too!
How nice, so many different things happening in this garden! When you cover your uses for the herbal plants and those flowers (like the Marigold)...I will taking notes for the ideas! What a wonderful Garden. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you! I’ll look into making a video. I’m still very new to using them but I’ll share what I do as of now! You’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Hi Asia! Awesome garden tour. Things(peppers)are still flourishing in the garden.
My peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers were truly suffering in this heat. We're back in triple digits 😢
I plan on doing something totally different for next year. I WANT MY SHISHITO PEPPERS 😄
As always, thanks for sharing!😊
Hi Elwanda! Thank you!
O my goodness to the triple digits. Any break on sight? We are having a mold cool down and the humidity is also down for a couple days.
Lol I get it! Those things are delicious! Good luck!
You’re and as always thanks for watching. 🤗
Looking niiice! Start your pepper bags out with generous Blood meal when you build soil. Pick off early flowers till it reaches about 1ft. Then top dress with bone meal when buds start showing 😉
Making note of this advice.
Thank you!!
i could watch you all day...everyday!☺ its fun watching you grow your garden. watching from India.
Awwww thank you!!
I had a neighbor that showed me how to save seed from dried Dahlia bloom . She grew Dinner Plate dahlia's that she had to stake.
O nice! I need to figure that out. The dinner plate dahlias are beautiful!
So happy to have found you! Binge watching 😊 your garden is awesome and you are too!
Never plant nightshades (tomato, eggplant, pepper, tomato, ground cherry) back to back. They can transfer diseases and pests. Good luck on your potatoes!
Thank you! I don’t have much space so sometimes I have to.
Hello and good morning, Asia!
I have finally caught a current video!
Beautiful eggs!!!😊

Hi 👋🏾!
O cool, happy to hear! I appreciate the support.
Thank you!
Addressing the mosquitoes. I PURCHASED the lavender oil from the hair store and rolled it over my legs and arms, then took some rubbing alcohol and spreader it over the oil allover
And it worked!!! Try it.
Ok thank you! I’m going to screenshot this comment!
If Paula Hurlock can't assist directly herself regarding your daughter's ailment, then she may be able to refer you to an herbalist that can find the best herbal tea combination for your needs. I love your herb garden patch and have tried a few combinations myself. Herbs or medicines like oregano, sage, rosemary and dandelion often get overlooked when it comes to tea, but they're miracle workers. I love mixing herbs like oregano with a little honey and lemon. Thank you for sharing your garden with us :)
Amazing - watched you all day!! must say you have the perfect garden and explain everything so well. Your videos are just interesting!!
Make tea with your rose petals, extremely healthy.
Ode to the basil ! I made pesto for the first time and I am hooked😂. I must try basil tea. Awesome tour.
O yes to pesto! It’s delicious! I plan to make a batch at the end of the season when I have to harvest. I’m drying it right now. Let me know how you like it! Thank you!
happy monday very early in northern new york love the eggs and the garden still looks great.
Your garden tours are always amazing. My garden is struggling the Texas heat. I only have a few okra and squash plants left in the garden. I’m trying to regrow tomato plants also.
Stay Safe and Blessed!💞💞💞
Thank you! I’ve been hearing the TX hear has been rough. Good luck with your plants and regrowing tomatoes. Stay cool, safe and blessed! 🤗
I love your channel, fairly new gardener in Topeka, KS. Learning a lot and getting ideas. Thanks for the videos keep them coming! ❤
You could cook the sweet potato leaves.. It's delicious. I cook it same way i cook Callaloo or collard greens .
Everything is looking great!
Thank you!
It's amazing how much you have done. Just love it❤😊
Can't wait for my girls to start laying. I think I have about two more months
It’s going to be so exciting! I hope those two months fly by for you!
Enjoyed the video . I grew Roselle last year made jelly, tea l, punch . And you get so many seeds. It has a lot of time it will live through some cold at least here in Tx it did .
Thank you! Ok, nice! Does it have a sweet taste? O nice…I’ll definitely be looking at saving seeds. Even better that it can last in a little cold! Thank you for the comment!
I love your garden - absolutely beautiful !! 🌿 I smiled throughout the entire video 💚
Awww thank you! Your comment made me smile! 🙂
Im a new subscriber and I love your channel. I was curious as to your location - and wow, right down the road from my family in Surry! Thank your sharing your garden and a piece of home with me!
Love how you explain where the seed pods are for drying purposes .. beautiful garden 🪴 ✨ and beautiful spirit you have! grand growing 🤎!!
O, I’m happy to hear that. I kinda felt like I was rambling a little. Thank you for comment!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead not at all !! no problem
Your videos are very entertaining, I love them ❤
Awwww thank you!
Have you ever thought about the bed being deficient in nitrogen? Soil test? It triggered the thought when you said your fall vegetables love it, but the other seasons struggle. Is it possible that the fall veggies have leeched nitrogen to the point that the spring/summer plants aren’t getting enough of the early nutrients for them to get good growth or to the point of fruiting? Even if there is sufficient phosphorus and potassium, if the plants can grow the leaves to support the plant growth, they won’t produce. Just a thought. It may be worth soil testing to see if something is deficient. Anywho, your garden still looks amazing!
I had thought about that but I amend at the beginning of each season and use compost. I think I may have figured it out today. I have to pull my root balls out. The soil was like a mat of roots when I forked it lol. Thank you for the comment! And thank you for the compliment as well!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead I saw the other video and I see what you're talking about. That makes me think about some of my bags and taking a different approach with the beds going into the fall. I'm definitely good for leaving those root balls behind.
The roselle you can make a tea out of. We love it, we call it Jamaica in California. Dry it, then make a tea of it (best with sugar). I also heard you can make jam/jelly. I’m growing it too, hopefully I’ll get some this year.
Ok thank you! I really want to try it in some form this year!
Good morning. Egg lcellent. LoL. 😂😂😂. Loved the tomatoes sauce video. 😊
Hi Mrs. Shirley! Lol 🤣. Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m so happy to have enough to preserve a good amount this year!
Thanks for video. My melons are doing amazing where peppers were ok. Like you I will plant more again next year. Maybe different variety . Thanks for encouragement
You’re welcome! Happy to hear your melons did well! Hoping your peppers do better next year! Sounds like a good plan! You’re welcome!
For the rosselle, look up Jamaican sorrel drink. It’s a lovely drink to make and you can flavour it a bunch of ways. I love mine with some white overproof rum. 😁
Thank you! I’ll check into that!
Eggcellent morning! The babies are laying! Enjoyed this video very much. Always something to think about. Blessings.
🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️Like 490! Beautiful and quite interesting…you should be EXCITED!
Awww thank you!
Hey Asia! Enjoying this sweet August garden tour while I work. Where did summer go?
Hi Nikki! Awesome! Thanks for watching! I don’t know but it’s almost gone lol. The summer always seems to fly by!
Your Roselle makes wonderful tea, jam, jelly and my Jamaica friends make alcoholic drink with them . I also eat the tender leaves.
Ok, thank you! I’ll have to look up some recipes. I’m still trying to figure out when to harvest them 🤦🏾♀️🤣
Chickens looking good
Looking forward to the fall garden also.
Yes! Come on fall lol…an easier time to garden!
Rip wine 🙏. Excited for what you do this fall
Lol right! Thank you! I can’t wait to get the fall plants in the ground!
Good morning night 🦉 another beautiful video Asia
Lol I really am! Thank you!!
Love your videos Asisa 😊
Thank you! 🤗
Awesome tour, Asia. Your plants are beautiful
Thank you!
Great tour!...supposedly marigolds will make chickens eggs and feet and combs more colorful.feel better spidey girl!.
Thanks Mike! I’ll have to give them some. I’ll have plenty once the season is over. The marigolds have finally started to take off. Thank you she just started feeling better today. This flu was tough!
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead somthing going round...both me and wife sick...not bad but yuk
Love your videos❤
Hi Asia😁are you going to dehydrate some of your Basil ? Your garden is amazing👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hi Ms. J! So far I’ve only been air drying it. Closer to the end of the season I may. Thank you!
You will love the roselle tea.
I can’t wait to try it! I have to figure out when to harvest it.
Awesome Aisha!!
Thank you!
Hello Asia! Awesome beautiful garden tour and congrats on the new "egg"!💖 My raised bed with the tomatoes and peppers did not do well; think the heat, up and down temps along with the canadian smoke did a job on them! Going to pull all out and plant a variety Fall brasica/green seedlings in that area after I amend the soil! Blessings to you and family!🌹 🦋8/14/2023🦋
Hi 👋🏾! Thank you! O ok, totally understandable and I’m sorry to hear that. Good luck on the fall garden! Happy growing!
Hey love your vid....I am from the Caribbean....we call the reseller sorrel....you and boil it and make juice...jam...tea
Hi 👋🏾! Ok…I’ll have to give that a try. Still have to figure out the right time to harvest it 🤦🏾♀️🤣. I’ve been watching videos!
I absolutely love your garden!! Your personality is hella cool. Thanks for sharing.
I have a couple questions:
- have you ever planted cow peas? Do we pick them often to encourage production?
- Also, where do you purchase your bags?
Awww thank you very much! You’re welcome!
I haven’t ever planted cow peas.
I purchased my bags from Amazon. Here’s the link Limited-time deal: JERIA 12-Pack 7 Gallon, Vegetable/Flower/Plant Grow Bags, Aeration Fabric Pots with Handles (Black), Come with 12 Pcs Plant Labels a.co/d/6vihT7G
Vert nice tour❤
Thank you!
This is cool
Thank you!
U can dry the roselle and save it.
Thank you! I’m still confused as to when I harvest it 🤦🏾♀️🤣. I’ve been watching video in my spare time.
❤
🥰🥰🥰
Great tour. I’m going to try the basil tea, and I’m going to try to grow the roselle/Jamaican sorrel next year.
Thank you Lala! It’s delicious let me know what you think. The roselle is beautiful! I still need to try it lol
Wonderful walkthrough! I love the volunteers you’ve gotten this year.
I always wonder how often others find spiders and deal with mosquitoes. They’re pretty abundant here. Haha
Thank you! Same here. I’ve never had so many volunteers. I’m loving it!
I find them all the time and the mosquitoes are starting to get outta hand lol
You have such a nice garden. Thank you for all your trials and triumphs! I’m trying grow hyssop, do you put yours in the shade or full sun?
Thank you! You’re welcome! I have mine in a more shadier spot. This was my first year growing it and it did well in the part shade. The spot it’s in her morning and a letter afternoon sun. It’s pretty shaded by a tree for the second part of the day. Hope this helps.
Where did you purchase your comfrey
Asia, So being that I am ignorant, I need to ask: How do you use the basil in tea? Do you dry it first? I need step by step instructions as I really want try this and have no idea. I love basil and you said it was delicious in tea. I just subscribed because you show so much detail on gardening and I need that. I know nothing on growing and want to learn. Also chicken raising. I'm loving your channel!!!
Hi 👋🏾! No worries at all! I use it dried and fresh. If you use it fresh let it wilt a little and crush it some that the oils can come out a bit. If you use it dry you can just add it to the tea ball, strainer or bad and but it in the water. Once the water come to a boil remove it from the heat and let it steep for a few minutes. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes. The. You can remove it and enjoy! I usually use my leaves twice. Thank you for subscribing!!
i make basil tea my basil is purple
O yummy! I need to try it with purple basil!
New subscriber here and glad to find your channel!! You are inspiring! I've got a little perennial garden in my yard but would like to turn it into veggies and fruits as well. Is your garden space roughly about 40x40 feet? That's about the size of my space, and I'm gonna make it work next year. Thank you for so many tips and advice and for sharing your beautiful garden with us! ❤❤
Hi 👋🏾! Welcome to the channel! I’m honestly not sure of the size of my space. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! 40X40 sounds like a good amount of space to me though!
Don’t be kicking the wine over😂
Lol I have to work on that! Never happens with my coffee 🤣
@@YellowDoorUrbanHomestead As I’m sitting here sipping on an nice glass of Ferrari Carano Chardonnay. Getting my mind prepared for the next couple of days. Vegas will be on lockdown due to that California Hurricane. We will catch the back end of that storm starting tomorrow. So I won’t be spilling any wine. Might have to switch to dirty Martini’s tomorrow 🍸🍸cheers baby girl.
Madame Asia, that Amazon link, is it me? I get the Amazon dog!
Hi! Someone mentioned it today. I fixed it on today’s video. I’ll have to go back and fix the others. Not sure what happened. Thank you for letting me know!
