BAHAHAHA!! “Hey guys, you did it! You got yourself recovered! Now I’m going to cut off your arms.”
I have NEVER laughed so hard during a garden tour. 🤣🤣🤣
Me looking at my plants every morning with my cup of coffee telling them what a good job they’re doing. Apologizing to spiders for scaring them and thanking them for protecting the garden. I’ve never felt so validated by my cheerleading growing methods!
I have a deep root watering system and everytime I stick the hose in the hole with water and see the itsy bitsy spiders crawl out I am profusely apologizing! 💔
I do the same exact thing 😆
I do the same thing!
I talk to the compost cockroaches!
I have walked many paths in my life but the path i enjoyed the most was my garden path.
When someone asks me what my favorite show is right now, I say I love Roots & Refuge’s weekly garden tour. They look confused but then they discover your channel too. ❤️🌱
Aw thanks Holly!
Jess, no thanks necessary! You deserve all the success that comes your way. Thanks for sharing your passion for gardening and providing great content for us to binge.
I know what you mean, they give and share so much in so many ways. I’ve got my ringer set on them as well, lol. I don’t watch T.V or go to the movies any mare , I just mostly TH-cam and roots and refuge is my first watch when I get time. Lol I’m not sure about the goat girls names from the movie mean girls cause I didn’t know but got my first giggle when she told Ben that’s where their names come from lol😂. I tell everyone about this channel and another one , Deep South Homestead. I learn a lot from them as well and the high tunnel is going to be phenomenal, they are having great success with theirs .
@@donnaocasio45 You would also like Living Traditions Homestead on TH-cam and Appalachia's Homestead with Patara. They are all great channels and Deep South Homestead too! They all "Teach" many things. GOD bless
Yes, if I'm not planting or tending the homestead, I'm watching them homestead/farmstead. So many blessings to each of you.
I think Miah’s “Bam” quote should be on the chalk board... things like that literally make life a little more entertaining and pure!
Do you know if she leaves the chalkboard in the garden all tje time? I'm new. Is it weather safe?
Chalkboard is stone
I'd say so 🤷♀️
Miah's Barn? in Jess's garden? why? It's Jess's garden
@@sharonpack4889 I think it's "Bam" with an m.
Idea for the chalkboard sign in the garden, "love grows here".
That's awesome!
I love how Bear never lets his momma out of sight.
Just adore your garden tours! We lost our house and gardens in the Australian bushfires this year. Your videos keep me inspired and determined to start over, fix the gardens and get growing 💚🌿
🙏prayers for you 🙏
So sorry for your loss. You can do this! 💪 When it comes to gardening the process is a lot of fun too!
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you restart your gardening, you lost the garden but not your knowledge. I hope it's a bit easier for you when you decide to do it again.
Prayers for you and your garden!!
Positive thoughts on getting on, wish you all the best.♥️🇬🇧
My wife wants an in depth animal tour!
So excited for another garden tour!! My husband and I just bought our first house. We are spending most of our weekends these days on fixing our little suburban garden and landscaping. Thank you for your constant inspiration and joyful spirit. You are a gift:)
I just love the videos your family make. I'm not only getting guidance in gardening but I get my "mindedness?" strengthened & realigned as I sit and heal in my garden. Jess thanks for adding our lord as often as you do as I forget to be thankful more so lately. I've got 10 year clean and sober and just now have a yard to grow things in. A lot of things are revealing that I didn't know I was capable of. Thank you for your guidance as I couldn't have had the success or cope with disappointment without you. My plants are looking great and I've lost 48lbs building my garden for me and my four sons.
Good morning! I also have a garden for 3rd year and learn so much with these videos! Healing my garden and healing myself also. 18 years for me in July 💖
Happy Sunday and Happy Gardening!
Veronica Hancock WOW 18 years.
Every time I see you go through your garden gate I think your sign should say "The shortest way to heaven is through a garden gate" I bought a pillow once that has that saying on it. I have it in my sun room where I over winter my Plumeria, also have a lot of orchids and some African violets, and now of course I start my seeds in that room as well. Thanks for your tour, I kept jumping up to do a few things to my tomatoes outside as you explained how and why :) Greetings from TN
Such a good suggestion for the chalkboard! 💗
Yes!!!!
Oh, I need this painted on stone by my garden gate. Thank you!
"Grow With The Flow." LOL A little play on words. Have an awesome day everyone.
"rooted in love" for the sign! 😍
Thank you! 💚
This means something a bit rude if you said it to an Australian 😂
My tomato plants are actually growing this year and I’m so happy! Last year, all of the tomatoes I started never grew, never set fruit- never even set flowers, but, praise be to the Lord, they’re growing amazingly and producing flowers too! My food garden is looking so healthy, and, God willing, my plants will set fruit, too!
You are such an inspiration. I’ve run out of space in my flower garden, so now my neighbor agreed for me to start a produce garden on her property. I just discovered your channel- so helpful!!! Thank you!
Preach it sister! Flavor and nutritional value is far more important than volume.
The smile and expression on your face when you talked about "it's almost tomato time" is so telling. Oh, yeah, that first tomato sandwich is gonna be so good!
I am so tasting in memory garden tomatoes! ❤
Thank you Jess ... love visiting with you .... God bless you too❤️😇❤️😇💕💕
You can also say you grow food because you help all of us. So stick with it. Anyone that has seen you loves you
I'd love to see more of the cottage garden next year, it's so extremely beautiful and romantic!
Jess, I love watching your tours. It’s nice to know there are others out there like me who look at vegetables like one would jewels, who enjoy the beauty of each plant, who get excited at watching things grow. Thank you for your tips. My garden thanks you.
And I resonate totally with your gardening practice - the excitement of growing heritage, ancient, beautiful, unusual, bursting with flavour plants feeds my heart.
Chalkboard idea...
“Let the Son shine in”’🥰
It never ceases to amaze me how different growing zones can be so different growing time wise. I'm in Louisiana zone 9a and my tomato plants are over 4 ft tall and starting to ripen their first fruit. I was pruning back the beasts tonight actually 😂 I wish I had the amount of space you have. I've loved seeing your farm grow over the years. I hope God continued to bless y'all!
I was thinking the same in the other direction. My garden is “booming” this year compared to my friends and my tomatoes are less than two feet, no blossoms, but it is still freezing at night so they are indoor.
Rewatching these are really helping me through this cold winter ❄️
I feel I have found a kindred spirit. My daughter didn't understand when I said I would never buy a store tomato again! Thank you for your knowledge and inspiration!
Please do a taste test with tomatoes that grow outside vs. in the high tunnel.
please also let us know what variety you are looking at too. Love your tours :)
I’m with you on the growing interesting/delicious things. When we had our first homegrown heirloom carrots that were so incredibly delicious-well the store bought taste like disappointment 😂. Thanks for being here and being so encouraging!
Your garden is looking amazing. I can’t wait to see your harvest videos in a few weeks. It is my favorite to watch you pick everything in your spaces!
Thank you for sharing. It seems so hard to let others see everything going on, good and bad, but you’re so welcoming. Thank you again
I love the greenstalk tower garden. We gave ours planted too now. I get to spend my recovery from surgery watching my garden grow 🥰
Thank you for the idea of "volunteers" in the garden. It's brilliant.
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who enjoys how squeaky cabbage is lol
You've got me rustling every plant in my garden as I walk through it too. Gotta touch them!
Watching how long your season goes for is so calming. I equate it to where I would be in my season, which would be the last week of November in the southern hemisphere, and it would be getting to the end of the growing period. For the following 2 months its too hot and dry for much to grow, and I'm usually getting really depressed! lol What I wouldn't give for so much rain! Love watching the growth
My Words For Your Land & Everything You Do for it, including the Animals is Pure Paradise❣️ Thank You So Very Much for Regularly Sharing All Of It with Us🥰
Hi Jess sooooo Happy my first garden tour that I'm watching as it's happening! I'm one of your newbie subscribers all the way from South Africa😉
Welcome to our garden and home! So glad to have you on the journey with us!!!
Ive been watching roots and refuge since December. I’m also from Johannesburg SA
And I'm from Zimbabwe and have been watching since last year!
Last year I grew twelve jetstars and I ended up putting up 80 pints of salsa, 26 pints of spaghetti sauce,12 pints of chili sauce, and 15 pints of stewed tomatoes from 12 plants. So that being said your gonna get ALOT. Love your videos.
Greetings Jess, I'm growing some tomatoes that were bought from the grocery store just out of curiosity...I'm sure even your production crop will taste a hundred times better than the grocery store..the time and love you give them will shine through... tomatoes that are allowed to completely ripen on the vine will always be better than anything bought in the store..
I can’t wait to see the bountiful harvesting and preserving! My guess would be around 15 pounds per plant... so at 120 plants in the high tunnel, that’s 1800 pounds of tomatoes! 😲 as someone who subscribed to the philosophy that you can never have too many tomatoes, that sounds about right for fresh eating and preserving for your large family, and the goal to eat mainly from your homestead.
Your garden is a symphony! ❤️🦋
😍😍😍 I have been waiting for this garden tour for the last two weeks and would have watched it earlier this morning but I did not want to do so in a rush. So I patiently waited through all of today (In Aus), got my hot tea, settled on my couch snuggled up in a blanket to thoroughly take in this gem of a garden tour 😍😍. These are so good, it's become an addiction of sorts haha. Also, warning your tomato plants you're going to come back and cut their arms of hahahahaha I cracked up!
Looks amazing Jess
Gardening is about having the vision and having the patience.
I just found your channel 3 days ago and I feel like I have learned soooo much!!! 💗 thank you so much for your videos. We are one yr into starting our homestead. My husband is building our cabin by hand and we have build a solar system to power off grid too! Your such an inspiration to me as this my my first yr gardening.
Thank you for so much inspiration. First time gardener and loving watching it grow. You have inspired a new garden addition here. 💚 from Nebraska.
Wow! Your garden is SO impressive, as well as your enthusiasm for gardening! I love that you're sharing your knowledge and passion with us. Thank you! 🙏🏻
Now, to get out and put my tomatoes in the ground...on Vancouver Island, BC
I buy sheer curtains at thrift stores
to use in the garden they cover anything
at risk.
I do that too ! And black sheers for shade cloth
I'm so excited about your roses from the antique rose emporium I live down the road from there. They are so nice!
hi Jess, your garden tours are my reward to myself for completing another week of distance learning with my elementary kids! You do an excellent job of welcoming new viewers with background and intro information, but not repeating too much for your returning audience. So many great projects you are completing this year. wellness and peace to you and your family, from Hilary in RI
I love the garden tours! I think it would also be super fun to have an animal tour to see what all your critters are up to!
I LOVE how your flower shirt blends so well with your tattoos!!! :-)
I've recently just found this channel. Thank you for taking the time to share all that you have learned! I'm a tomato lover! I just planted my first plants this year. I, like you, want FLAVOR. I am sick of the tasteless ugly varieties that are at the grocery store. I want what I had as a kid. And I want my grandchildren to know it as well. The largest part of the memories I have with my grandparents were in the garden. Wearing my grandpas old pearlsnap shirts to pick okra. I can still smell the scent of his chewing tobacco crossed with grandmas marigolds. I'm convinced the garden was the secret to her great food. I want Max and Ellie to have these memories too. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 grow maters Growww!
I'll hush with all that... Just thank you for sharing your knowledge. .
Plants bask in love and certainly talking sweetly to your vegetables, herbs, and fruits does a lot of good!
Listening to you describe your reasoning for what you grow and watching your garden tours,just makes my heart happy💖❤ 😍🌿
So happy it's time for the garden tours again!😍
Growing interesting things they don’t sell in the store for your own flavor and interest, I’m there. Thanks for that revelation.
I've been hearing a little about how to disrupt insect cycles by changing when the crops are planted. The basic principal is - deny the insect what it needs when it needs it and the insect population will collapse. Have you heard of this and how it applies to vegetable gardens? Thank you for sharing your garden with us and good luck this year. Still too cold and wet here in PA to really garden; hopefully our season will extend well into the fall.

In years past, I've been able to avoid some bean beetles by planting beans late.
I'm so horrifically jealous of how fast stuff grows in your garden!
These tours are so special. I love to set time aside to make sure I can watch it in one sitting. Thank you so much! Everything is looking so lovely
I will forever be a big fan of Baker Creek and heirlooms but I'm loving Hoss Tools seeds this year too. Mr Danny at Deep South Homestead really got me interested in them and they are more in my area and growing zone too so I'm enjoying their TH-cam channel.
Lord, Jess...im already tired for you. Thats alot of plants and food! But I know you will handle it with grace and humor. And some help from the kids and Sweet Miah. ❤
Great tour, Jess! The multi-colored stakes look so good with everything growing. Your Bear is so loyal.❤️
I so enjoy your garden tours. I always want to go walk my garden after I watch one (even if I’ve been out there several times already😄.). I think though, that knowing what inspires you is wisdom not a shortcoming. Beauty and uniqueness feeds a creative soul❤️🌱🍅🌻!
Another wonderful garden tour, I do enjoy seeing your garden grow. Kale so plentiful and amazingly full on nutrition and when I lived on the Pacific Northwest Coast I had an abundance of Kale and you can only eat and juice so much at a time and that is why I started dehydrating Kale. Dehydrated Kale is sweet and when it is ground into powder you can use much more of it. I add powder Kale to meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, soups, beans, zucchini bread and into smoothies.
Thanks Jess for the tip about rooting tomato suckers!!! I bought 3 tomato plants one had several suckers which I picked off and put in water about 5 days ago. Today they are starting to show roots pushing out - I'm so excited. Thank you for sharing your gardening experience!!
Jess, I thoroughly enjoy these tours as many others. I love the new verse for the board. Thank you for taking the time to share with us and explaining everything. Score A+. Until next time, bless you all too.
What a lot of work and love you put into your garden! I can see that you delight in walking through it. Hubby and I just finished spreading 35 yards of mulch. So satisfying. We love our garden to, and you and Miah inspire us. ❤
You should have your garden sign showcase your own phrases. For sure need it say "Bam! We grow food!" ❤❤
It's cute...as you are walking around showing us the garden Bear is walking around checking things out. :)
You have such delightful videos. I have been gardening for 30 years and I learn something new every time I watch you. I don’t know how your family can possibly eat all of the food you eat. I also don’t know how you have time to have this huge garden. Thanks so much for sharing.
Slowly I am learning how to glow plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables, I am finding gardening very therapeutic and inspiring, spending time outside with my hands in the earth while observing nature grow.
Great garden tour learning so much from you both
LOVE the longer garden tour!
Love love love your gardens! Every week - massive changes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for being honest with yourself, because it makes ME not feel so crazy! I have the same feelings about what I grow, but couldn't put words to it!
I am waiting for you to write a poem book. Something like "garden poetry and praise" with beautiful poems and devotionals. 😍 a girl an only dream!
Loving this tour, as always. Re: the Nasturtium you're considering moving, since it's going to trail a lot, how about putting it in a big hanging planter, & hanging it from your pavilion - like on the street side, to provide you with a bit of privacy, & so it can more easily be seen from wherever you are. Just have t'say, it's so cool that your T-shirt really blends in with & looks like your tats!
Live, laugh, grow and dance in the rain!
I had a green house I put over my garden and a tomato from last year that flowered early, we took the plastic back off of it and we have tomatoes already. I’m so excited!
I just love watching your garden grow! Such a healthy environment. You inspired me to grow food as well.
Your sunflower tattoo is beautiful! I can't stop looking at it.
I am absolutely addicted to your site & especially love your garden tours.TY!
Amazing. I just got my garden planted out in Ontario Canada and love seeing your progress because I know mine will follow after. You have so many tomatoes. I am growing the most I have ever done at 15 and I am excited.
I feel like people always ask me why my garden looks so much better than theirs and I have no answer for them other than I put love into my garden. I'm always out there checking on the little babies and cheering them on
That purple cauliflower is beautiful!
Girl, you are gonna be BUSY this summer. I hope you're ready. Y'all are gonna need all your boys out there helping!
I’ve been waiting for this all week!
We are growing our first backyard garden in raised beds. We're in zone 6, so looking at what you have growing really excites me! We watch your videos over and over and feel like you are the go-to for garden wisdom. You are so generous with your knowledge and have such a great spirit - your whole family does! THANK YOU so much and God bless :) From Canada :)
After watching your videos I am now the proud momma of three tomato plants😂 love watch y’all
Roll Tide from Bama😘
I don't remember how I found your channel, but happy I have. I am binge-watching because I love your farm, your lovely face, and sweet mannerism. My daughter, when I told her you had six children, said you look like a kid yourself. She thought you were eighteen when she first saw you. Lol!
We have a ton of slugs in the rainy PNW.. I have discovered that super simple homemade electric slug fences work great to keep slugs at bay through the rain!! All you need is 20 to 22 gauge wire, staples, 9 volt battery, and a casing for the battery. Works great!!
Your channel needs to be "Roots & Refuge & Roses" 🌿🌹🐓😇 LOOKING GOOD JESS! BLESS THE SOWARDS😇
We really love your perennial garden. Don’t comment all the time but we’re always watching! Our moto and suggestion for your chalkboard saying is, Bee 🐝 Happy 😃 or at least try! Thanks for sharing your garden tour!
Ok I am from georgia and say yall every day all day and I have always been told that is a southern thing so I love hearing you say it!
Pickled beets are awesome too.
There was one point where I could see bear in back ground sticking his head in a bed and I thought it was so sweet it looked like he was checking on the plants as well looking for pests lol he reminds me of my childhood dog Buddy boy ...we named him after a gas station / convenience store near our house it looked like a long cabin. I think that’s where we got him
Thank you. Always want to get out into the garden after I watch your videos. Always enjoyable and always inspirational
I can't get over how awesome your beds and gardens and overall farm is....its very inspiring 💜
Wow you have a beautiful garden! I never experience planting in raise bed because of our location so I just plant in pots including my grapevines and other fruit trees. Good job that you are seeing what you envision to have in your garden.
Your garden always amazes me! I wish I had the space you have! ❤
